Week 15: New York Jets (3-10) @ Miami Dolphins (6-7)

[TheKillerNacho]

At 1-7, it seemed highly unlikely the Dolphins might be able to crawl back to .500, but here we are in Week 14 needing a victory over the pathetic Jets to reach that mark.

I still don't want to hear any talk of playoffs, but we almost certainly should get to 7-7, here (even without, potentially our RBs).

My prediction...

Miami 29
New York 16

Jets in year one of total rebuild don't seem to have much talent yet I've been surprised at how hyped-up their defense is game to game. Must be the Saleh factor. 

After a December bye week I'm thinking Miami is going to be fresh and scoring mucho points.

The Jets will give us a game, its a rivalry they hate us, everyone hates them. I would love a blow out win but even with them in a downward spiral I am betting it is closer than it should be, especially with the covid rampaging through our team. 

Miami 24

Jets 17

Fins 27 - Jets 13

Fins D has a field day with Wilson.  I'm gonna say 4 sacks, 2 picks and a fumble recovery somewhere.  One of the TOs is returned for a TD.

Oof.  Waddle to the Covid list.  That hurts.

Holland too apparently. He's also been an absolute stud. Huge loss if he cannot get cleared to play.

I may be in the minority here, but I really do like the aqua-on-aqua uniforms. 

[JourneymanQB13]

Wow. Just an awful start. Need a stop here to prevent a massive momentum swing.

This game could've started a lot better. I'm not worried yet but cmon, guys.

Yeah. A lot of bad football from us early, especially on offense (bad run blocking, bad throws). It is very early but we can't let the Jets take a three score lead. The way the offense looks, idk if we'll put up more than 14 today, unless something changes.

It feels like we were caught with our pants down looking "over" the lowly Jets after a 6 game winning streak. We aren't talented enough to sleep on any opponent. Hopefully being down 10-0 will sober some guys up.

Also Jaylen Waddle being out will obviously hurt.

Also, weirdly, despite getting our RBs off the COVID list, Duke Johnson is playing a lot of snaps for some reason.

I agree with the sleepy start probably having something to do with underestimating the Jets. 

I think losing Holland on the other side of the ball is also a huge loss. He does a lot in coverage and also a pass rusher. Losing him at safety probably changes or defensive play calling. 

Great observation with Duke. Has another back even taken a snap yet? Could be because none of the other backs practiced this week.

Duke looking pretty good today. We have the potential to have a good backfield finally between Gaskin, Ahmed and now Duke and Lindsay
