Week 1 Jets @ Dolphins official game thread

1st and GO DOLPHINS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Let's go Dolphins!

 

Crank it up!!!

 

CBS4 had Cyanide by Metallica as background music.

 

I just popped my first guiness at 9oo in the morning pacific time.....GUYS, iam scared as hell of farve, hes too good too smart for our young hungry bunch, right?....help me, IAM IN A GLASS CASE OF EMOTION

 

Go Fins

 

The Miami Dolphins have declared WR Ernest Wilford, RB Jalen Parmele, QB John Beck, DL Lionel Dotson, CB Michael Lehan, OL Nate Garner, DL Rodrique Wright, OG Shawn Murphy inactive for Week 1.

 

Wilford, Parmele and Rod Wright inactive today. Dwight Lowery starting at CB for the Jets. He's probably their second best CB behind Darelle Revis. I was hoping we'd see someone worse at that number two spot so we could pick on them with Hagan but that will be difficult now. Lowery is a good player.

 

woo!!! GO PHINS!!!

 

jeez... wilford inactive? What a disappointment he is... thats frustrating

 

I was shocked, too. But when you think about what he has done so far, it shouldn't be a surprise

 

Wilford would have been nice to have today for red zone situations because of his size. But if you don't perform your going to get benched.

 

I wouldnt say im shocked really... im more disgusted and disappointed with his performance so far... the amount of cash we gave him for apparently nothing, is frustrating.

 

Heat index will be 96 degrees today. It will play a factor in todays game.

 

The anticipation is killing me ...

 

I really wonder if he's any good in the redzone with his size. I remember a statistic posted by Stitches in the CL that showed how he was almost useless in the red zone. He doesn't do much there.

 

Go Dolphins!

 

You would think that would have been one of the main reasons to bring him in because he could be a great redzone player.

Interesting stat that he is useless in the redzone for the most part.

 

30 minutes until kickoff time

Let's go Dolphins!!

 

Yeah, wish I would have saved that post lol. If he's not great in the red zone, he's not fast (runs 4.79), doesn't get much separation, average hands then what are we paying him for?

 

I love you guys, but i can't stay on the computer.
As I posted in the Club:

I'm tingling man. My chi is off the chart or something, because my body is tingling, and im havin trouble containing myself! This is like being a freshman in high school, the first time I stepped on the football field for kick-of coverage....but i got nobody to hit! i dont want to get ahead of myself or this team....but not today. i want this one. i want it today. lets be a good team. lets end the draught of success. lets make people hate to play us. lets turn the corner. lets kill these mother ****ers !!!!


Im out.

 

I would rather have his big money on the bench if one of the young guys are outperforming him. Don't play guys based on anything other than productivity - not contracts.

 

I had trouble sleeping last night... no ****. I really did. Dolphins football is back boys and girls! lets win this! Heres to a productive and enjoyable 2008 Miami Dolphins football season!!!

 

The sound starts low and deep in the bowels..(go dolphins!), heads turn straining to hear..(Go dolphins!), slowly the crescendo builds, the eyes of the child grows wide..(Go Dolphins!), adults realize the time is now..(GO Dolphins!), brethren from deep in the woods, the hills, the streams, the fields, the mountains, the cities all follow the distant yet strengthening voice..(GO DOLPHINS!), they come from the small towns, big towns, cities, they come for one reason, its Football Season..(GO DOLPHINS!), the come to unite once again, to root and cheer for their team..(GO DOLPHINS!), from the small town, the big towns, the cities, from living rooms, and bar rooms they follow the sound..(GO DOLPHINS!). We are together in this, we are one, we are a team!

...GO DOLPHINS!!!

 

Wilford is not playing is because he has absolutely no value on ST's. If he did, you wouldn't see Brandon London activated. I don't think London has had enough time to outperform Wilford but they made the decision today because of the ST's value.

 

When I return, I will be either extremely upset... or extremely happy...

Now I am off to the sports bar (because KGAN is lame feels that the Chiefs are more important)..

GO DOLPHINS!

 

Anyone else watching the Marino / Favre interview?

Favre just brought up that he broke all of Dan's records ...

 

I saw it... I think he was being more appreciative to Dan for being a "mentor", and more appreciative for his own opportunity to break those records. I dont think he was saying it to make it a point and rub it in...

however....

the game hasnt even started yet, and im sick of hearing of Favre already.

 

I think everyone here feels the same way.

 

Yeah... in the context of Favre admiring Dan's desire to win every game, and Favre's desire to emulate that. I don't see anything wrong with that.

Nevertheless, GO PHINS!

 

I just thought it was interesting that it came up, that's all.

For those of you tired of Favre-Mania, Nantz and Simms are calling the game, so don't expect it to stop anytime soon.

 

He knows that Marino is the greatest passer to ever grace a football feild.

 

Drinking Game:

No drinking if they say Brett!
Normal sip/gulp/swallow if they say Brett Farve!
Drink whatever remains in the glass/bottle if they say Favre.

 

Anyone just see joey porter starting a little crap before the game... kicking over a jets football on a tee, then getting into an arguement with Bryan Cox...

 

Go getem Joey!!!!!

Joey already fired up. He's another Brian Cox and I love it.

 

Oh hell yeh......Go Get Some Porter!!!!

 

I missed it I would have loved to see that.

Lavernus Coles will have limited participation in todays game

 

im hoping porter heads into the first series with that kind of intensity and drills favre one!
