Official****NYJ Phins Thread**** Game 2 Week 3
348 replies
dirtylandryNew MemberOPAlthough I expect a win, I am worried about what the NYJ's run game can do and expose us for the rest of the season......unless we have essentially fixed that issue a little. This is the game I would like for us to tweak the pass rush. Maybe take some chances man to man. Great news for us, is Buffalo and Oakland ran for over 180 each on the NYJ. So it should be more of the same on offense for us, but I expect to be little more vertical.
I am also worried about distractions. Between Timmons and the fact they have to pack for the London trip and not come home. Prediction MIA 34 NYJ 16. If you told me we were going to be 2-0 going to London against a Saints team that is essentially one dimensional, with a defense that's really bad, with the realistic chance of being 3-0, I would have taken that bet.

TheHighExhaultedforum_veteranI know it's a division game and anything can happen but if the Dolphins lose to this Jets team they have no business doing anything this year.

Yes!
Galantforum_veteranClassic trap game.
But I have more confidence in the mentality Gase is building than previously.
"Although we are capable of great acts of kindness, history teaches us that we sometimes need saving from ourselves – from our recklessness or our greed. God sent into the world a unique person – neither a philosopher nor a general, important though they are, but a Saviour, with the power to forgive... It is my prayer that on this Christmas day we might all find room in our lives for the message of the angels and for the love of God through Christ our Lord." (Christmas message, 2011)
dirtylandryNew MemberFor Failbin and Suckprano, yes trap games. How about we not make it a trap game and let our overwhelming talent take over?

Mcduffie81subscriberI'm not worried about the Jets. If you're worried about them then there is no reason to expect playoffs, which I do.
I expect a competitive first half but we will win in the end.

DolPhinPhan7forum_veteranThis has got to be everyone's Survivor Pool pick this week.
if Miami cant cover 6 points against the jets after beating the chargers then there are a lot more issues than we think lol
invidsubscriberJets have the 30th ranked defense and offense after the first two games. They're dead last in points against. They've played the Bills and Raiders.
They've committed two turnovers in each game, while forcing one in the first.
They're passing defense isn't abysmal, they're ranked 18th after two games. However, even with Wilkerson and Williams, they're dead last in rushing defense (uh-oh), allowing nearly 200 yards in each contest.
(Just an aside, how awesome is Oakland's rushers? You have Lynch who needs no intro, and Jalen Richard, who is seriously fast, decisive and shifty.)
I don't think their linebackers are getting it done, now that Harris is gone. Watch Demario Davis get washed out of that long Cordarelle Patterson TD run. Then again, Oakland has a nice offensive line. I think our OL can do some damage on the second level, but I'm not counting on Williams and Wilkerson to have bad game after bad game after bad game.
They key, I think, will be to capitalize on their second level. Get Ajayi on screens and draws to the second level, and then open up the intermediate passing game. Put the pressure on their linebackers, who are either young or not that great.
Defense just has to make McCown sweat, and they need to take care of their assignments better this game. Carrying over the rush defense against an attack that features Matt Forte would help too. However, their OL seems penetrable. I'm going to Philly over the weekend, but I hope I'm still able to watch the game.
DolPhinPhan7forum_veteranI just read this stat. It's astounding.
New York’s ground game has been anemic through the first two weeks, averaging just 82 yards per game so far. 10-year veteran Matt Forte leads the team with just 69 yards on 15 carries. Bilal Powell has been even less efficient, gaining only 35 yards on 13 carries.

a little deceiving. 38 first game and 126 2nd game. Forte out the backfield will be a drive extender. Gotta have an answer for that

I think the Dolphins win, but it's a lot closer than anyone things.
21-20

djphinfansubscriberim not worried in the least that this team will take the game lightly, did y'all see our team scrap and fight and not quit,?, did you not see how calculated the conservative gameplay was in the first half because your literally playing your first game of the season against a team that has already played and made adjustments?, did you not see the same team that won 9 out of 10 games last year?...I sure as hell did..
It was a great win..defensively we shut their run game down and kept everything in front of us...

I hope your wrong, this should be easily a 10 point win, even if they get 100 yard rushing, the chargers were supposed to rise and fight for the west with the chiefs and raiders and we played very well for a first game with all the hurricane stuff to deal with. I think if that game is played this week we could have won by 7 or more, I see cutler letting loose and us being up by 14 at half and the jets scoring a late garbage td for a 24-14 win.
cuchulainnsubscriberstej starting QB, Josh McCown is 2-22 in his last 24 starts in Tampa, Cleveland, and now NJ.
This is gold: McCown won the job by doing nothing, a Daoist quarterback version of the Peter principle. It almost doesn’t matter who starts for the Jets, because between the offensive line and the receiving corps, this is the worst situation in football for a quarterback. No, really.

Vertical Limitforum_veteranOkay just woke up checked my feed and now im truly worried about this game...
GARDENHEADsubscriberGame day! jets suck!!!
Tanking is like taking a Greyhound bus cross-country. Sure, it may eventually get you where you want to go, but it’s messy and unpleasant and uncomfortable, it stinks, the entire time you’ll be wishing you weren’t there, and not everybody along for the ride is going to make it to the end. - Quote stolen from Deadspin
