Dolphins are a top10 team. We will be favored by 3ish. Easily loseable game even if we play well.
We've laid eggs against worse teams, for sure.
I think it’s great. It our eyes weren’t wide open already a victory over the Rams should do it.

It’s official. I think at least one poster has called every game this season a trap game.
The Dolphins capitalized on 3 first half turn overs by the Rams, a defensive TD, and a return for a TD. Their offense doesn’t really inspire a whole lot of fear, but their defense was getting to Goff. We should be able to handle this team, but I am pretty worried about the bye week hangover. Hopefully the team is taking care of business this week and will be ready to play ball Sunday.
Additionally, Our defense needs to get some turnovers this week. Some of the throws I saw Tua make weren’t very impressive... perhaps BB gets his 3rd pick in as many games, and takes this one to the house (he had a chance to turn the Dallas pick into 6 as well).

Two Cards positive, hope that clears up quickly.

McVay called a piss poor game. Dolphins were throwing a ton of cover 0 and McVay kept trying the same crap over and over that wasn't working.
I hope Reddick or Baker gets to Tua in the first quarter and gives him his official “welcome to the NFL” hit and the kid is hearing footsteps for the rest of the game

We need Focus and Discipline from our Cards , and I hope that the Rams losing to the Fins is the fuel they need to come out with high intensity level , especially in the trench battles . If I have learned anything from all these decades of loving this game , it is that no QB can Win with a pathetic performance from his Ten teammates . Lets Gitter Done , and send Tua back to the drawing board . This is not Rocket Science , we just witnessed 1 and 5 Vikes beat 5 and 1 Packers . Two words Cards , Focus ----- Discipline , lets go 6 and 2 !
Tua had 95 yards passing and they had 55 yards rushing. Thats 150 yards total offense. They won on turnovers and STs.
Their defense is good though.
I think we match up well with them. Won't be an easy game but I think we win. 24-17.

The Rams put up a ton of yards but turned it over four times. You're going to have a hard time beating anyone giving away the football that many times. Their defense has really impressed me but we can impose our will on Tua as well. If we limit the turnovers I have a hard time finding a situation in which they beat us Sunday.

Kk had a long week to prepare the offense against this solid dolphins defense, offensively we have some options to find a way to create problems to Miami
Their offense doesn't scare me too much, they have a rookie qb with just few reps and I think Joseph would design some plays to put him in trouble
I'm optimistic

Most physical defense we've played since the 49ers.

It's surprising how good they are because it's not a super talented roster outside their starting CB's. Shaq Lawson is a 6 sack kinda guy as is Kyle van Noy on the other side. Their ILBs are Elandon Roberts and Jerome Baker, reasonable players but not stars. Eric Rowe has mostly been a backup. Bobby McCain an average starter.
The only bits you would look at as top 15 are their starting interior D line which is decent and their outside CB's.
What they seem to have are a bunch of former Patriots players, mostly backups, that know the system and execute it well.

With kyler murray every defenses can be put in trouble
If he doesn't make turnovers, it's pretty unstoppable

3 best QBs they faced put up huge passing #s
Russell Wilson 360 2 tds
Josh Allen 415 4 tds
Goff put up a lot of yards...although mostly garbage time stats.
Jimmy G struggled...but then again thats Jimmy G and he also had an ankle injury.
Cam's team beat them by just playing ball control/running it a lot.
Idk..Josh Allen and Russ showed they could be had for big plays.
We just have to hit ours early.

They've given up 31 points what? 3 times?
Their defense is close to the Cardinals statistically. They look like they play well as a unit.
I watched the Rams-Dolphins and I was shocked at the substantial use of cover 0 and the Rams inability to counter it. Goff was getting hit pretty quickly and he wasn't protecting the ball. The needed to run more screen plays and quick hitting plays.
This was very much a game the Rams lost. The Dolphins offense was pretty pitiful. While the Rams defense is pretty good, it was more a case that the Dolphins lack playmakers and have an inaccurate QB.

They've also played some real bad offenses...
Flores was part of the Pats team that game planned for Goff in Superbowl. That previous background definitely benefited his defense. Also another tidbit I found interesting is that Dolphins did not have a drive longer than 15 yards. That is against a Rams team with its best corner in Jalen Ramsey sitting out sick.
