I messaged them earlier about how there's an alternate universe where Miami took Justin Herbert, the Chargers ended up with Tua, and that all their alternate selves in that universe are still alive and have yet to commit suicide.
I mean what does your alternate self really have to live for at that point? You really have to think about it a lot. So much so that you might have forgotten your team was playing Monday Night Football!

I think its safe to say the Raiders will not Commander and go deep into the playoffs this year.
Which raises the question if Carroll will be around once / if the Raiders do get to that stage. As has been mentioned repeatedly, he's already the oldest NFL coach ever.

I had to listen to the cowboy game on the radio. But I got a good laugh out of the cowboy announcers talking about the bad pass rush. Literally on one play they were like 'And Wilson again has all day back there oh theres a sack' I'm starting to wonder if people even fucking know what a pass rush looks like. It doesn't have to be a jail break. Collapsing the pocket like they were doing against the eagles is a pass rush (since I didn't watch I don't know if they were doing it against the giants).
Anyway, now we have a clowney. I hope he's still got some gas in the tank, I haven't been paying attention to him for a while.

At this point, he's average. Not a game-breaker, but not a statue out there either.I had to listen to the cowboy game on the radio.

0-3 is not 0-2. It also includes legit bad teams and teams tanking. They're not in a good position, but their playoff chances are definitely higher than 11%

I did hear recently though that a lot of this stat is made up by obviously bad teams who were not playoff teams the year prior. Obviously things change year to year, but I think the % is a bit higher when only looking at teams that made the playoffs the year prior but then started 0-2 the following season.

He doesn't. That said, with how Williams holds onto the ball, he might get a sack or two and get your hopes up.I had to listen to the cowboy game on the radio.

No chance. They're probably more afraid of Zach Wilson or Quinn Ewers.
Knock Tua out of the game? "Never interrupt your enemy when he is making a mistake."

Hey, Miami, with countrywide chatter that everyone is about to be fired, in what the Dolphins probably consider their Super Bowl this year... managed to be almost competitive.
I still don't think the Dolphins end up with the worst _record_ in the league this year, but I think it's probably the worst _situation_ in the league, in that while your Browns, Saints, etc. will also only win a handful of games, no one expects more. Miami, on the other hand, is about to be stripped to the studs, and who knows how bad things get before they dig themselves out.

They'll do enough to where they won't get fired. But yeah, the team is too flawed to get anywhere meaningful. Most of the cap is on skill positions so the O-line is devoid of talent, the D-line has no real stars, secondary is thin. The obsession with speed and being fast is also flawed. All the receivers are fast, but are also small and can't get open when play gets physical. The RB's are also small and fast.
I'm pretty confident that nobody in the secondary likes to chase around fast receivers, then instantly have to switch gears trying to tackle an RB coming out of the flat that's bigger than they are.
Edit: Oh yeah this was one of the very few games Miami has played in primetime where we didn't shit ourselves, so that's a win in a way.
