So Much For The Health Of O-line.

The problem with the O-line is still the same, they just can't stay healthy. When the starters play they are unstoppable, I'm sure if the line played all 16 games together we are a play-off caliber team, but if more than 1 of those guys is out injured, we're going to struggle. 2 or 3 linemen out is too much for a team that has depth problems at that position, too much of a drop off in talent.

I believe with the win streak and the motivation that comes with it and everybody buying into the system and a good pep talk a player will give a great effort, but three guys out that's what I call patch work.

Thank God the defense was able to keep us in the game, and Tannehill who has apparently turned a corner of his own must have really given the offense a good inspirational pep talk just before the last two drives of the game.

I'm still in shock over the fact that we did absolutely nothing for about 54 minutes and manage to escape with the win. Think about it, the fins of recent years would have given up and crawled under a rock and died. Not these guys, Gase has them believing and trusting the coaching staff, put it this way,  I'm a fan and the most disappointing thing of the last few seasons was not finding a way to win the close games and that has been too long an issue that we finally seem to have turned the corner on.

So the starters on the o-line are not all going to be there for the 49ners game, thank God it's at home and that it is a bad team. A plus is that whomever is going to play will get the stater reps in practice that will help and so why not 6 in a row. Like Gase says let's take it one at a time.

There are no easy wins in the NFL. And you are correct, it's the Niners and they get a full week of reps so it will help.

The Niners will watch film and see we struggled when they blitzed us so I expect the same. We did move the ball when against the prevent and we kept the TE in to help block.

We may have to win this game with only 3 WRs going out in pattern and RB delaying if no blitz.

10 punts is crazy and outrageous. Matt Moore would have put this game out of reach in the first half. With Matt Moore under center; we will not loose another game. Anything can happen when you have a mole under center. When tannehill saw that our defense would not give up like they usually do when the defense is faced with multiple 3 ans outs; he then decided to play at a decent level with 6 minutes left. Tannehill knows that our team is playoff bound. But he is having a conflict with his mole agenda and playing to win meaningful games. His hidden mole activity will be exposed one day; and all of you who think that I am crazy will have to apologize.

The weather was a huge factor in this game. From what we could see on TV, the rain let up just in time for the Dolphins last two drives.

Maybe the Rams are good on Defense .. Ask the Jets or Seattle !
