Spent the last hour thinking of how mad I would be when the Rats pull it out. Refs did their best to keep them alive, but the 'Phins closed the deal!
Very aggressive defense by Miami, and Jackson didn't seem to like it at all. Lamar seems to lose his mind a bit when he gets frustrated. It's about time an unlikely loss tightens this division up after all of the unlikely wins by the Ravens this year.
MIA jut wrote the blueprint on how to throttle BAL:
Collapse the pocket when you can. Always maintain 'outside contain' so Lamar has nowhere to squirt... and apply constant pressure. Make him win with his arm- off his back foot. Pressure makes elite QB's average. Always.
Miami's D made Baltimore's O look absolutely pedestrian (and CLE has the personnel to lock them down even tighter than MIA did tonight).
Not only did MIA's D shut down Rat Nation's O, their O scored on them with an injured Tua, and a "write it up in the dirt" second-half readjustment.
I'm starting to think that CLE has enough to sweep BAL
Tonight's takeaway:
The Baltimore Ravens are vulnerable, on both O & D.
Miami showed the way.
Elves need to adopt this blueprint.... and crush these villains.
