Miami's success is probably a combination of better idea what to do with the talent and schedule so far. I think it was a feature with Jaws was showing how they are running a much more trad power run/play action pass game instead of putting Tannehill into a shotgun and spreading out things. I do sometimes think coaches get obsessed with system and often try to run things that really don't fit their personnel. A lot of people were talking up Miami in the preseason, I thought even some talking head like maybe Gruden picked them to not only win the AFC east but perhaps go to the Superbowl.

I think part of the Colts and Luck's offensive problems stem some from what they try to do offense. Pep Hamilton seems to be from that Mike Martz school of being obsessed with the long ball. That stuff is the offensive equivalent to a defense that does all sorts of all out blitzes. The thing is that it's high risk as much as high reward and can lead to a bunch of picks as much as big plays. With the shakey o-line the Colts have, Luck often times does not really have ample time to wait for the speed guys to get open 10-15 yards down field and then Luck starts to improvise. And right now, I think his shoulder might be causing some of those misfires on those mid to long passes.

Well the AFC South is freakin' terrible, 3-4 Indy is massively favored to win it even though they are kind of a trainwreck. Let's see how they come out vs. New England this week - they'll be hungry as hell for this one much like Indianapolis was

crazy ending, Cards had it put away yet kept botching things and giving Baltimore a way out. not even gonna blame the dude for going OOB on the 1st down that should've all but iced it (as I'm guessing that's 100% instinct) but calling that pass play was just bizarre. I mean I know Flacco's got a big arm but going 75 yards in 1:15 with no timeouts is really hard vs. a good defense like that. Ravens gotta be the best 1-6 team I've ever seen, they've been in all their games to the end, and just think if Steelers had a kicker they'd be 0-7. Not that I'm losing sleep over it.

bmore are playing better than 1-6 but like 3-4 not 6-1. they don't look like a playoff team so at least they're getting a higher draft pick than they should.

Palmer having a helluva career renaissance these last two years, if only he can stay healthy this one.
