00:00All right, Patriots and Dolphins yesterday, Dolphins seven and a half point favorites.

00:07This game was over at the half, it was 24-0.

00:11New England scored some late points to make it seem a little bit closer than it was, but

00:15make no mistake about it, Miami is just so much better.

00:18Like every team, Vinny, is better with their starting quarterback in the NFL, it's not

00:21a secret.

00:22Two is just much better than anybody else that they have, but I guess if we expanded

00:26the conversation, I know that they're beating up on these bad teams, New England, the Raiders.

00:33I still don't think they're getting in, Vinny, you know, like even though their schedule

00:38says Jets twice and Browns, you know, those are not gimme games for a team like Miami

00:44because they're going to have to go to cold weather.

00:46You know how that has gone over the past, I don't know, 50 years at the Browns, at the

00:50Jets to end the season.

00:51I do think they're going to finish better maybe than this seven and a half win total

00:55that I see here, but I don't know that nine and eight is enough to get in.

00:59Yeah, and those are some tough games after that point as well.

01:03I mean, you look at the defenses they're going to face, I mean, it's not going to be as easy.

01:07I mean, you've mentioned the three games they just beat up, Rams, Raiders, and Patriots.

01:11These are not world-beating defenses.

01:13These are defenses you can pretty much do anything you want in terms of passing and

01:17running, so.

01:18And then Dolphins are different, right?

01:20They're not this explosive team in the same way.

01:23They're spreading the ball around more horizontally to try to get the ball out of Tua's hands

01:27after all the hits and the latest concussion.

01:29I mean, Tyreek Hill, I never would have imagined that they would have a game where he has under

01:3450 receiving yards and they still blow out a team with plenty of offense.

01:37But that's what happened yesterday where Tua's distributing to the back a little bit more,

01:41Devon Achan scoring twice, you know, Waddle the short area, Jonas Smith at tight end.

01:45So they've kind of adjusted the offense for Tua in the right way, I think, to keep him

01:50upright and keep him healthy because you're right.

01:53If he's healthy, they're a pretty good offense, but if he's out, they're just terrible.
