Can't use Steelers general offense when Rudolph is their best QB and has improved their offense

Regarding cold...

Per stats n data....

Cold affects passing by 2-3%
Cold affects kicking by 2-3%
Distance kicking is affected more and thus less longer FG chances will be taken


Cold affects the Defense more. Offense like in snow has an advantage knowing where to go. Defense is slightly slower reacting and committing in cold.

Wind is the death! Wind plus cold equals far less points and scoring opportunities.

Nobody wants to tackle in cold either. Tackling can get a bit sloppy.

Can’t use 3 games as Rudolph and QB in whatvwe done lately.

5 career starts past 3 years.

8 starts in 2019. Decent completion %. 12 TD 9 Int.

Seen plenty of him back at Okie st also. Guy isn’t trash but he ain’t playing much for a reason

His benefit this game is if extremely windy. He won’t have opportunities to make plays or lose plays.

He isn’t that mobile. Extremely sack prone and hold the ball too long.

Again, if that windy and cold then it’s probably better suited for Steelers to keep a game close n lower scoring. But Rudolph last 3 games tearing up Is maybe misleading

Ravens in exhibition mode. Steelers must win game. Mediocre game

Seahawks 30+ points but not single TD

Bengals slung it around well imo. Couple td and probably 250+ yards

Practice report KC vs Mia

9/10 times anyone who doesn’t practice Friday doesn’t play Sunday. Dolphins play Saturday so Thursday is the Friday

Key concerns are...

S Elliot DNP all 3 days
CB Howard DNP all 3 days
S Holland DNP all 3 days

That’s a thin secondary.

Lots talk dolphins have no edge LB but imo it’s not that bad.

LB Long is good
LB Riley decent been around league good bit

Outside LB
Ogbha
Houston
Irvin
Ingram

Lots and lots of experience there! Pass rush will be okay that position but pass defense on edges is an issue imo. Not enough twitch n speed to cover RB out backfield and KC loves to dump em off.

Dolphins back end is the bigger concern imo.

As imo earlier, Dolphins best chance win is be aggressive on offense and pump pace and utilize speed which can benefit them in cold weather. Use the elite speed at RB for run and pass attack. Use the elite speed at WR as an extension of run game and shorter quicker routes. I don’t expect we see TUA hold ball long at all. They will need to utilize quick plays and pace imo

Dolphins just can’t count on defense this game going into it. They could stand on their head and ball out who knows.

Chiefs May feel confident in their defense. But I expect them to attack on offense also just due to explosive dolphins offense. Chiefs love using the WR core to be decoys and pump 9 n fades to open up RB and Kielce. Chiefs Offense has been very vanilla for years tbh.

Cold cold we get it. All the love on the Under. Yet line keeps holding budging up to 44.5 now. As long as it doesn’t get crazy windy I still believe and expect both coaches to be aggressive on offense. Being aggressive and being successful two different things.

Thinking loooks to be a Vegas
24-20 chiefs win

Imo dolphins know they will need 27+ to win and therefore stay aggressive all game.

Opinions are all this is.

Sneaky play seems to be fish at 4.5 now and Over which may budge back down a point by kickoff maybe.

Rumors Chiefs game time change. No way peacock n nfl move it imo considering the 110 milly they paid

Reports wind 20-25mph gust 30mph (hard trust wind predictions) but that much wind if the case is well in the affected area of scoring

Seeing tickets for sale at just a few bucks. Loud kc won’t be loud kc this week it appears. Seems legit that fans really are passing up going to game

Still don’t see the cold bring that much difference. But if windy is accurate then it will for sure


Green Bay and Giants playoffs was just as cold years ago. Not as windy. Giants won 23-20

Both teams threw the ball 77 times and ran 50 times.

Playoffs are a bit different but Browns haven't beaten anyone except Houston with Keenum at QB on the road by more than 2 points. Flacco on the road. Browns defense on the road.Give me points all day with Texans. I think a rookie can pull off 1 win at home and Stroud has been no ordinary rookie. Get blasted by Ravens next probably.
Nailed it.
