Baltimore at Miami

[tsylvester]

Just what the NFL envisioned when they made up the schedule for the 2025 season, 2 underperformed teams teetering on the brink of obscurity, both recording their 2nd wins of the season in week 8, slated to star opening the week 9 games on Thursday night. Phew, that was a long, run on sentences, I suppose I could properly structure it, but mentally it is too tough for this old mind.

That is my excuse and I'm sticken to it. Yes, to succeed in the NFL one must be mentally strong, something that has come into question with both franchises lately; they are stuck in their heads.

On paper, the Phins have a passing attack, or at least the potential for one, that could shred the best defenses. But closer look at the paper and we can see it is written on with disappearing ink. 

Miami is 25th in passing offense, despite their explosion last week. Which passing attack Baltimore will face is anyone's guess. Which ever, Baltimore best bring its best pass rushing plan and execute it with prejudice, to make sure this game doesn't  turn into a shoot out.

Only the shadow knows if Lamar will play Thursday night, and game played on this short of a week day's rest, anything usually happens.

So, who ya got?

I watched the first half of the Bears game again. Huntley was impressive. He threw hard when he had to, and put air under the ball when necessary. He just might be the 'answer' for us as a backup.

Vibes coming out of the Ravens' camp sound very positive. Maybe the Bears win will get them on track.

The Dolphins don't have much but they're playing at home on a Thursday night.

I hope we beat the crap out of them.

We should win the next 4.  What is Cincinnati when we get there?  Then Pitt?  We finish Cincinnati,Pitt, Cincinnati, ne, gb, and Pitt.  There are 2 definite losses in there.  I figure 1 loss to Pitt.  So best case I see.9-8.  That could well win the div but we will one and done.  I’d rather have the high pick now.

Flacco has a shoulder issue, took a pounding the past 2 games. Cinci may have to go back to Browning. Joe wants to try and play through the ac joint pain. He will need a bigger spleaph to do that
