Dolphins @ San Francisco Week XIII Grades

The defense has been the biggest let down. It was designed to force turnovers and get off the field quickly, to face as few plays as possible. Could it be that the combination of a quick strike explosive offense doesn’t mesh with a risk it all blitzing defense?

Cardinals @ Dodgers; W1LDCARD Recap

Some will say “congratulate the Birds, they fought hard” and though that is true, with achievement comes expectation. Though this team was left for dead only one month ago, they awakened to go on a run not seen in over 100 years in baseball. Having done that, going out with a whimper after one game was anticlimactic.

W1LDCARD Cardinals @ Dodgers

Even if the Dodgers hadn’t won more than 100 games and weren’t the defending Champs, a one game series vs Scherzer would almost certainly put them in the “favorite” category. As it stands, the Cardinals are the ones that needed a record breaking September surge to make it into the one game W1LDCARD going 22-7 in the month including a 17 game win streak to capture the 2nd W1LDCARD.
