Week 4: New Orleans Saints (1-2) @ Miami Dolphins (1-1) in London!

[TheKillerNacho]

This is do or die, boys. After one of the most humiliating losses in franchise history last week, we have to bounce back with our "home" opener in London. At least we can at least agree that perhaps we were looking past the lowly Jets, preparing for the Saints, right? Hopefully because the Saints spanked the Panthers last Sunday.

Then again, London proved to be beneficial to the other Florida team giving up a home game last week, right? They destroyed Baltimore. Maybe the London-Florida mojo can continue this week! If not we're screwed!

I'm not an optimist here. After witnessing our loss last week, I think we could be boned. I think our offense will do better beacuse the Saints defense is literal trash, but McCown picked us apart so I'm horrified to see what Brees can do.

New Orleans 37
Miami 27

The Saints have been in England since Monday, I believe. Why are the Dolphins waiting until Thursday to fly over..?

Good question.

We obviously have to play better defense vs the pass and need to control the clock on offense to have a chance in this game, a special teams turnover wouldn't hurt either.  Both teams defenses will give up big plays this season but Drew Brees is still a top 10 QB imo and he still has the ability to take over games.  

We're going to need some turnovers to win this one I think.  Let's go Phins!!!

Ajayi did not practice today. Hopefully he will be able to play...

gase figures it out regarding play calling, going up one of the leakiest defenses in the league. I think we have a good shot of winning really need to take away the short pass game for the saints.

also anyone get the vibes from when the team turned it around last year? we play like absolute idiots in the first 4 games then gase started calling the team out and making changes to better fit the team. call it an uneducated hunch but I think the fins play well this week.

Well we can't be much worse this week than we were last.

Precisely.  Only one way to go at this point.

I have the fortune of being there this weekend  3rd Fins game and hoping for a first win (1 in MIA vs Jets loss (2012?), 1 in LON vs Jets loss (2015))

 

Just hope we can do something on offense and defense. We've looked pretty big play phobic on D especially, barely made a play against the pass (and those we do get flagged for nonsense)

I hope we win to avoid you going 0-3!

...Also if we do, as moderator of the Dolphins forum, I will forbid you ever attending a Dolphins game again.

I should be fine, I think the curse is only related to Jets games

That pick by Cutler was terrible, but why the hell are we spreading it out wide on 1st and goal inside the 5? That’s Ajayi time and is a fairly inexcusable play call.

The refs are destroying this game.  I cant blame anyone for not watching this crap.
