Anleitungen » Divisional Round GamesI was hoping today would bring

slightly better news after the games this weekend. If you watched them then you already know that Rams did their job to knock out Cowboys Reshad Jones Jersey , the Colts did not play like everyone assumed, and the Chargers failed miserably. Not exactly the same Patriots that played against us in Miami. The positive we can take away from the Chargers vs Patriots game is that their defense was legit and if Brian Flores did indeed lead the defense, then I’m kinda excited to see how he will be as our new head coach. That being said, you’re welcome Chiefs. The only reason the AFC Championship game will be at Arrowhead and not Gillette is because of the Miami Miracle. We all know that Brady does not perform as well at away games. The Patriots lost five games this season and they were all on the road. They played the Chiefs earlier in the season and that was quite a game and they came close to losing that one with final score of 43-40. Now that was a home game for them. This will be a home game for the Chiefs at Arrowhead.Not an easy place to play for sure. Chiefs definitely have the bigger advantage here. They haven’t won a Super Bowl since 1970. I believe this team, with their amazingly talented quarterback Mahomes, and their fans are determined to do what it takes to make sure they play in Atlanta this February. Let’s also not forget this little tidbit about Brady. Remember the 2016 AFC Championship game?We beat the Patriots at home and many fans said, “Who cares”. Well, they lost home-field advantage and had to play the Broncos and lost. Do you think we can hope to achieve the same outcome next weekend? I sure do hope so. Most of America, and apparently the UK as many fans tweeted to me, hope so. Just imagine for a second how it would be for Atlanta to host the Super Bowl to the Saints and Patriots. Falcons’ fans may not even want to leave their house that weekend. But, let’s all hope (and I’ll pray) that it doesn’t come down to that. Lets briefly touch on the Saints and Eagles game. Thank you Saints for stepping it up. I personally didn’t want there to be a chance for another repeat Super Bowl of Pats/Eagles, because I’m pretty sure Brady would win that one. The first half looked a bit rocky and I started to get a bit nervous. That being said, it’s Drew Brees. He’s one of the best quarterbacks in the NFL and you know they weren’t going to go down that easily against Nick Foles. Now, the Eagles did put up a good fight and looked to have a chance to win the game Minkah Fitzpatrick Jersey , if it weren’t for the ball slipping through the hands of Alshon Jeffery into Saints’ Marshon Lattimore for an interception. You kinda feel for Jeffery. Especially when you learn that he was playing that game with cracked ribs, so now I feel kinda worse for him. I mean, it’s not like this is the Cody Parkey situation, which would have guaranteed a win for the Bears by making a 3-pt kick. Next Sunday we have the long awaited AFC and NFC Championship games. It will be the Saints hosting the Rams at 3:05pm and the Chiefs hosting the Patriots at 6:40pm. We will find out who will be in the Super Bowl next Sunday. I personally wouldn’t mind a rematch of one of the best games of the season with Rams vs Chiefs. I won’t be mad if the Saints do come out as the winner, but just as long as it’s against the Chiefs. Chiefs, we’re counting on you. Most of America is counting on you. No pressure or anything. What’s Next For Our DolphinsThere are already several articles posted about the supposed new head coach hire for the Miami Dolphins. Basically everyone is saying once the Patriots are done their DB coach, Brian Flores, will be our new head coach. I was unsure about this rumor and was kinda hoping for Kris Richards, but I’m going to remain hopeful. It Grier we trust, right? Flores may not have much head coaching experience but rumor is he is bringing on Jim Caldwell as an assistant coach or OC or something. It seems nobody knows exactly for sure, but that he does want to bring him on the staff. Maybe as kind of a mentor since he does have experience as a head coach. I just hope our special teams coach Rizzi will want to remain with the team and that Grier and Flores agree as well. We already know the players love and respect him. Who will be our quarterback for 2019? Are the rumors true that the Dolphins are looking to tank 2019 for a decent draft spot for 2020 to pick our franchise quarterback? Adam Schefter believes the Dolphins will wait another year to draft a quarterback.I’m definitely alright with waiting till then, but not alright with tanking next season. I don’t think players on our team will want to do that. I would prefer to find a quarterback to fill the spot until 2020. Honestly, if Tannehill wasn’t due for so much money, I’d be fine keeping him as our starter for one more year. Who else can we get? Nick Foles looks to be released from the Eagles this year but I don’t want him with us. A bit too costly at $20 million and I just want someone for one more year until 2020. I agree with this tweet here. Who do you think will be our starter this upcoming season? I guess things will start to unfold once the Patriots are knocked this upcoming Sunday. Time will tell. P.S. I didn’t forget about the whole Gase being the Jets new head coach. I’m just still a bit emotional about it all. I’m a bit confused Mike Gesicki Jersey , angry, and amused. How weird is it going to be seeing Gase come into Hard Rock next year with the Jets? THE JETS. Really? Many of their fans were outraged by the news and several others were a bit shocked. As long as we sweep them again, it’s cool. Still weird though. Hope you all have an enjoyable week. Next Saturday is the first one of 2019 without football. Let’s take a moment of silence real quick for those of us who will miss those full weekends of football. That being said, the draft is not that far around the corner.See you all next Monday when we’ll either have the announcement of our new head coach, or we’ll all be rolling our eyes at another Super Bowl. ***EDIT***Alright, I published this right before Gase’s first press conference as the Jets’ head coach. I’m sorry, but what? Let’s enjoy some of the faces of Gase and be a bit happier that he is no longer our coach. How about this one from Will Brinson. One more. If you want to watch it all and laugh at all the positive remarks they are making about Gase that was made three years ago by Dolphins, here is a link. Happy Monday DolFans! Hope you get a good laugh out of it. DAVIE, Fla. (AP) — Only one NFL team has been outgained by nearly 1,200 yards and is still in the playoff picture — the underwhelming, overachieving Miami Dolphins.They’re 6-6 and part of the crowded AFC wild-card race despite statistics that would sink most teams. The Dolphins rank 29th in the NFL in offense and 29th in defense, 29th in third-down conversions and 28th in red zone scoring.So how have they managed a lofty .500 record?“Turnover margin,” coach Adam Gase said Monday. “The amount of turnovers our defense is getting is what we need, and then we don’t turn it over a whole bunch.”He’s right. The Dolphins are tied for seventh in turnover differential at plus-eight Jason Sanders Jersey , and third in takeaways with 25. The impact on the scoreboard has been “insane,” Gase said.Turnover differential was the difference Sunday, when Miami was outgained by Buffalo 415 yards to 175 but won the turnovers battle, 3-1, and the game, 21-17.It also helped that the Bills’ Charles Clay dropped a fourth-down pass at the goal line in the final minute.“It’s better to be lucky than good,” Miami linebacker Kiko Alonso said.Luck might play a small role in explaining the Dolphins’ knack for outperforming the stats. It dates back to Gase’s first season in 2016, when they were outgained by 798 yards but went 10-6. That’s their only playoff team in the past decade.Someone reminded Gase his team has been outgained this year by 1,168 yards.“Great,” Gase responded, meaning the opposite of great. His team is on pace to surpass the franchise record disparity of 1,321 in 1967, the Dolphins’ second season.This year only Cincinnati (5-7) and Arizona (3-9) have larger yardage deficits. To which the Dolphins say: So what.“It’s all about us putting the ball in the end zone and having the most points at the end of the game,” running back Kenyan Drake said.Oddsmakers aren’t impressed by that approach: Miami is a touchdown underdog at home Sunday against AFC East leader New England (9-3) .Gase believes the Dolphins actually should be 8-4. They blew double-digit fourth-quarter leads in losses at Cincinnati and Indianapolis.As it is Raekwon McMillan Jersey , Miami is tied with three other teams in the AFC, one game behind the Baltimore Ravens for the sixth seed and final wild-card spot in the AFC.“Obviously, in order to stay in the hunt, we’ve got to win,” receiver Kenny Stills said. “And we know that.”For a change, the Dolphins begin the week with no significant new injuries. Ryan Tannehill, playing in his second game since returning from a shoulder injury, shook off several jarring hits to throw three touchdown passes against Buffalo.“He’s as tough as they come,” Gase said.The Dolphins have endured so many injuries that Gase said it’s a different team from the one that lost to New England 38-7 in Week 4.The obvious goal this week will be to keep the score closer, and if the Dolphins do that, don’t discount their chances. In one-score games Gase is 6-1 this year, and 19-6 in his three seasons with the Dolphins.In other games he’s 3-17. Sometimes relying on turnovers isn’t enough.
