Indian Empire wrote:Let's just say that I think Miami is within striking distance. Starting down 14-0, they've rebounded to 20-6, and if Miami scores a TD to start the 2nd half they can edge within a touchdown. They will need better defense to beat Pittsburgh, though the Offense seems to be decent when compared to the dominance of Pittsburgh's defense.


Yeah, but 14 points is a massive deficit to make up for a FL team coming into Pittsburgh in frigid conditions. You might be guilty of making it sound easier than it is. For example, do you think the Miami secondary has been adequate in this game? Not me. They made one play the whole half versus the Steeler receiving corp. As a Raven fan that knows the Steelers well, I have to say any chances of rescuing a victory here are highly unlikely. OTOH, watching a comeback like that would be great. That being said, I think the game versus the Chiefs in KC will be a whole other animal though.

The Dolphins are quite a ways away from being a legitimate contender, looking at how the game is going so far. It doesn't help matters when you have them traveling up north in cold weather, away from the warm, toasty confines of Miami.

Back in HC Don Shula's days the Dolphins overcame that weather obstacle somewhat. Not so much now. They seem to have caught the TB Bucc's old allergy to the cold weather.

I heard it was cold in Green Bay, so I looked up the famous Ice Bowl from New Year's Eve, 1967, when it was -15F on the field at gametime and at one point Frank Gifford, announcing for CBS, said, "I'm going to take a bite of my coffee."

Going for it on 4th down, 3rd quarter, leading, in your own half.... goes with ty montgomery on the run, even though they bring out a wide receiver rather than another blocker.

There is honestly no logic to any of this.
