Re: Phins at Bengals Game Thread

[JMP]

Tee Higgins just destroying the Dolphin defense tonight - particularly X.

Bengals already past midfield.

[JMP]

Needham nice pass breakup on a bomb to Chase!

[JMP]

Good coverage downfield by Brandon Jones on a 3rd down bomb - incomplete. Bengals punt! Phins ball at their own 10...terrible field position most of the night.

[finskev]

Your Like Two Plays ahead of me somehow and Watching on App.

[JMP]

D keeping us in the game...need some offense!

[JMP]

Teddy bomb to Hill for 65! What a catch!!!

[JMP]

Can't believe we couldn't punch it in. Oh well...the FG gives us a one point lead. I'll take it.

A defensive turnover would be great right about now...

[finskev]

I agree we need Turnover now.

[JMP]

3rd and long, Boyd throws to Chase for a big first. Fucking trick play got us. And Bengals are in Miami territory again as we enter the 4th quarter. Come on D...can't give up a score here.

[JMP]

X with a huge icepack on his groin/leg. Looks like he's out.

Then Burrow hits Boyd on a huge play, 43 yards. Kohu got burned. Now 2nd and goal inside the 5. Ugh.

[JMP]

That's two more huge pass plays given up by the D tonight - 59 and 43 yards. Giving up TONS of big plays this season, every week.

[JMP]

Roberts stuff on 2nd and short! AVG and Roberts stuff on 3rd and short! YES!!! Great D! Bengals kick the FG. That's a win for Miami, even though we're now down 17-15.

Teddy Time! Let's go!!

[finskev]

We know how Play Defense inside the 10, rest of the Field not so much Tonight.

[JMP]

Three and out. Edmonds runs for a first down, but refs mark it short for some reason. Then Edmonds gets stuffed in the backfield on 3rd and inches. This team cannot run block, at all. Just awful.

[JMP]

No pressure on Burrow at all, Higgins wide open for another big play. Disgusting.

[JMP]

Again, no pressure and soft coverage. Burrow playing pitch and catch, as Herbstreit said. D is disappearing.

[JMP]

D holds on 3rd and long! Wow! Did not see that coming. Big play by Kohou. Great coverage by Needham on the 2 previous plays.

And then McPherson nails a damn 57-yard FG. We're down 20-15, 6 minutes left. Need a miracle.

[JMP]

It would be a tie game if Edmonds didn't drop the TD on the opening drive and Sanders didn't miss the xtra point later.

Meanwhile, big run by Mostert!

[JMP]

And of course he gets stuffed for a loss on the next play. Ugh.

[JMP]

Teddy runs for a first on 3rd and long!!

[JMP]

Mostert running hard!

[JMP]

Bridgewater completely off the mark, throws a horrendous INT to essentially end the game. Damn. We were so close. Just too many mistakes all night.

[DolFan 316]

I have never EVER liked damn Thursday night games, even though they've been a thing since at least the merger. This whole week I just had a bad vibe unlike before the previous 3 games, even though I thought they could've all been losses as well. Everything about this situation was just...off from the get go, like the Fins were set up for disaster

With the Tua Situation, I can't even take solace in the fact they competed and were even in position to win most of the game. The season feels over already...

Also, how the HELL does the D sack Burrow just ONCE?!?! Seriously, how does that happen??? It doesn't even make me feel any better knowing that Phillips finally got a sack, that's just inexcusable and unacceptable regardless of what happened with Tua or anything else!!!

[HalCHorn]

D just didn't seem to have their legs last night. Understandable with a 3 day turnaround after 90 plays and 40 minutes on the field Sunday. When X went out the bottom fell out with him. Here's hoping we have him and Jones back for the Jets.

Tua will be back in a couple of weeks. Scary sight, and again, the quick turnaround likely contributed to it. Whole team was beat up coming in.

We got through a very tough opening stretch 3-1. I'll take it. Wasn't far off in my prediction, got Cincy's score right but we needed another TD
