3 sneaky keys for the Miami Dolphins to pull off the biggest Miami miracle
By Matt Serniak
If the Miami Dolphins are looking to do the improbable, they need to be hanging into the 2nd quarter.
This isn’t to say if the game is 7-7 going into the 2nd quarter, that the Bills can’t go on a 21-point run in 10 minutes. That easily can happen.
But, I firmly believe, that if the Dolphins are going to compete, like for real compete, they can’t fall behind a lot of points in the 1st quarter. There is zero chance that Skylar is going to do what Tua did against the Ravens this year. The game has to be within a score for pretty much the entire game because if that lead gets big in favor of the Bills, they will be hounding Skylar and his patchwork line for the rest of the game.
Sadly, we all have severe flashbacks of the last three playoff games the Dolphins have played. All of those were over in the first quarter and it was super deflating having to watch the rest of the massacre.
If Miami can hang around into the 2nd quarter then that allows them to really believe and when you actually believe something is possible it naturally will give them a bit more energy and focus. Who knows what can happen if Hill, Waddle, Wilson Jr. Phillips, Wilkins, Holland, Howard, Sanders, Morstead, and Chubb can get done if they truly see a path to victory in real-time during the game.
Hope everyone enjoys the game one way or the other. I know I will be enjoying myself with some Troegs Nugget Nectar. Hope you all have something to numb the pain.
There will be a lot to talk about afterward about how the Miami Dolphins need to change if they want to really win. This offseason is going to be a roller coaster but a roller coaster that’s in space. It’s going to get pulled in tons of directions. Hopefully, a miracle happens and we aren’t discussing that for at least another week. FINS UP!!!
