Say what you want about the 2018 Phins… they are 4-2 after this epic win
Albert Wilson played a key role in the Dolphins epic win
The Dolphins epic win against a tough Bears team gave Dolphins fans a game to remember… but more importantly, it brought hope that the 2018 Season was long from being over.
I was a full-blown manic-depressive, ‘Phins are going to win! Nooooo, they are going to lose. Holy $%!&, they are going to win… Ohh man, another choke coming. What? They WON!’
Dolphins haven’t had a game like this, and won, in a long, long time. Doesn’t it feel good?
It was wild, exciting, sloppy… and epic. You can’t say any longer that this team doesn’t have talent or heart. The Dolphins may be dumb at times, but this team is by no means garbage… unless they choose to be.
Miami SHOULD be 5-1, but 4-2 ain’t too shabby
Now let’s be clear: Phins can’t win in this fashion week in and week out. Osweiler had a terrible pick, Gase again made a bonehead series of calls to end the 4th Qtr, the refs need their eyes checked, and Drake made a horrendous fumble. Phinsnews has been saying this since last year: The Dolphins must play cleaner football… and if they do, they’ll be fine.
But sloppy or not, how can you not tip your hat to the fortitude this team has shown?
The 2018 team will not end like last year.
Miami has made late additions that are having a serious impact
Travis Swanson and Nick O’Leary haven’t received their due in Dolphins circles… other than at Phinsnews. They will now and going forward. Their contribution can’t be underestimated. Together, both have helped stabilize this Offensive Line… and maybe make it a real strength.
The inside run game is the key to this season.
An effective inside rushing attack gives many benefits. One benefit that’s key for this team is that it loosens up the flanks for Dolphins skills like Grant and Wilson to operate in space. And when Wilson is given some space, man is he something. It time to give credit where credit is due. This was all Adam Gase’s idea to bring Wilson to South Florida. That $24 million used to bring him here looks like a steal.
Are you kidding me? The Dolphins just racked up 164 yards on the #1 run defense in the league. Yes, it was over the course of 5 Qtrs, but there’s no denying this was an effective run game against a tough front… for two weeks in a row. Interesting kawinkydink: this sudden growth in the run game coincides with Swanson and O’Leary being elevated to starting role. Coincidence? I think not.
Things could be getting brighter fast
Miami has a string of very winnable games coming up: at home games against the Lions and Jets and on the road against the Texans. While they should win all three, their tendency to play sloppy doesn’t make it a safe bet with the pay per head services that they will. But the beautiful thing is they just might. Hope is in South Florida. Let me say it again, there’s genuine hope here now, folks that the Dolphins will be relevant at the end of the season. Dare I say Post Season?! Go Phins!!!
