Dolphins Blown Out as Jets Complete Sweep
After a month-long hiatus, the Jets resumed their early season routine of bossing around an obviously inferior opponent.
“There are only five games remaining and the Dolphins are nowhere near the playoff team that people expected”.
Pouncey played the first two series for the Dolphins before he was examined on a bench along the Miami sideline. But now at 6-5 they will be playing meaningful football as they await the coming of Santa next month. Usually when we stop the run, we have games like this. Whether it was a trust throw or a feel throw, it was an important one. Sure, he’s not going to be the greatest quote and doesn’t write the story like Rex Ryan, but he is proving that he is taking no nonsense when it comes to his team. But there was no doubt after Ryan Fitzpatrick found Eric Decker for a 2-yard touchdown pass with 8:47 remaining in the third quarter to give the Jets a 21-0 lead. We’re in it together. “We had some good runs early”. He’s been down and it just hasn’t happened for him. We saw that in camp…. “And if he can do that, he’s going to take my job soon”. After losing a fumble that was returned for a touchdown against Buffalo and then dropping a relatively straight forward touchdown against the Texans it would have been easy for the rookies head to drop. I had heaped plenty of criticism on him during the Jets’ slump, some of which related to the apparent lack of accountability on the team. It came a few days after Fitzpatrick had his bushy facial hair neatly cropped for his 33rd birthday Tuesday.
“I thought as a unit, especially from that last two-minute drive on into the second half, we played well”, Fitzpatrick said. “I know where I need to be and he knows where he needs to put the ball”. “I kind of miss it”. A contingent of Dolphins executives, including owner Stephen Ross and legendary quarterback Dan Marino, were seen exiting the suite area with more than five minutes to play Sunday. Jordan Cameron would have none of that good field position business, and immediately committed a chop block penalty to set the Dolphins back 15 yards. I’m just a runner.
The Jets (6-5) won the game 38-20 to complete a season sweep over the Dolphins (4-6). “Those are the facts”.
The coaching staff and front office are at odds over how they view Ryan Tannehill’s future, according to a report.
“It’s mind-blowing, it’s frustrating, it’s disappointing”. I think Brandon is such a big, physical guy out there and we had him in some one-on-one situations we were able to take advantage of. “It’s hard, but it’s on us”. Not helping matters: The Dolphins, ranked last in the AFC in third-down conversions at 28 percent, went 1 for 10 against Dallas.
“No, it’s part of the business. We got whipped the second time”, Campbell said.
Despite posting a solid stat line at the end of the day, Ivory struggled mightily throughout the mid-game.
