Separate names with a comma.
Happy Thanksgiving!
I would not give up multiple 1s to get any QB in this draft should we end up drafting around 2-4.
Haven't been since the recent renovations, but I was struck with how intimate it felt. I imagine with the roof and reduced seating that aspect...
Flores is just trolling him. Can't guys rib each other anymore or does everything have to be so ****ing serious?
Okay, I'll be that guy: what is it?
This should end well.
Thank you. People see "gun" and think the guy's a thug. We don't know the particulars of this, but a lot of us know from experience, including...
I guess I was putting most of that under the category of "overestimated his skill" in that he'd throw for the big play he couldn't pull off rather...
That slacker O'Shea went. Flores needs to ride that ***.
Yeah, if you could have transplanted Fiedler's heart and awareness on Tanny, you'd have an all pro.
That's what they did with Fiedler. Fiedler had a ****ty arm and accuracy and overestimated his skill resulting in way too many interceptions....
Was never a problem when Shula was around.
That's great. Wonder why it hasn't worked for anyone other than Bellicheat.
I honestly wouldn't be surprised for Rizzi to stay. He's stayed on through 3 regime changes already, he's certainly well-settled here,...
I'm going with coaching. The injuries were horrendous, but the combo of an OC that can't get out of his own way leading the league in offensive 3...
Well, playing the odds and within the limitations of the available poll responses, then ABSOLUTELY the next QB will play better or worse than...
It's pretty likely the next QB will play better or worse than RT17, with the slim chance he plays the same. I think this is a flawed poll unless...
He'd have to want to put in an awful lot of work. Same with any of these former player suggestions.
This "build a team that is capable of sustaining contention year after year" is the same **** they've been saying since they brought in Sparano....
Pats' D is trash. I see Grier is interested in taking us the lions / cardinals / Cleveland route to perpetual bottom of the league status.
Add that to the list above - folds in big games.
I appreciate the hat tip to #88 at the close of each show Section.
Any chance Bowles gets the ax? THAT would fix this **** up.
Pay whatever it takes. Hell, what is Dom Capers doing? SOMEBODY has to be out there.
Here's how you evaluate MIA's next DC - Has consistently been a top DC? If the answer is no, forget it. No more "potential" guys. Get someone...
Gase has to get an experienced, proven DC next year. Burke is just in over his head.
Nice job, but you need to dump bummer.
Yeah, I was blessed to see the 71, 72 & 73 Superbowls. Stuck on a treadmill of mediocrity since 2001, with the brief glimpses of hope in 08 and...
6 safeties now. Yay?
God, please protect and heal Jim Kelly.
Because he's actually won something?
^^THIS^^ Gase will let himself get run out of town before he fires Burke.
Hey, these MFers can kneel, masturbate, whatever they want. I'm not going to have any part in following it any more though. I follow Dolphins...
God bless. Great player in his day. 71 Phins was my first Dolphins team.
LOL... typical fascist idea. NO.
Good luck to him. Hope he gets his @#$# together.
YIKES! I guess since he was out for what feels like 10 games I totally overlooked him.
Most of us we stunned that we took NOTHING on D in the draft (beyond a 5th rd db). LB was a need going into the draft. We lost a solid, if...
Punch Cheats in the mouth.
I'd love to see what he can do with decent LBs and a couple more drafts before he moves on.
Serve up the crow. Preseason, I had them around 6-10 to 8-8. At 1-4, I saw them as a 4 win team, tops, with 2-14 to 3-10 more likely. I...
Who cares which QB wins? Only way I could see a controversy on the team is if they catch fire and Moore leads them to a SB. If that happens,...
Need LB badly. Kiko is a playmaker, but honestly he is NOT a great tackling LB. I hope we can move him somewhere and get a badass MLB in the...
If they are for real, they'll show up with playoff intensity for these next 5 games.
I know I'm biased, but the throwbacks are the Unis we geezers grew up loving. Every aspect is superior to the new Unis, including the logo (and I...
Toughest two games are @Bal & @Buff. I don't think 10 wins gets us in.
Happy Thanksgiving all.
Tannehill is the Curtis Martin of QBs. You watch him and he doesn't look like he's doing much, but by the end of the game, he's put in a pretty...
Great.
God bless.
Since his benching, Maxwell hasn't been awful. He's not Pat Surtain, but he's not awful.
How'd this turn into a Tanny thread? Yes, Gase should have figured out his roster before game 6. He should have realized prior to game 6 that...
Well, it's clear he just figured out his roster. Some of it was inexcusable - rotating 4 backs, keeping your 1 difference maker on D off the...
You got it. I'll believe it when they do it.
Old uni & logo 1000x better than this Houston Oiler puff blue and lame dolphin on the new stuff. Black shoes were awesome.
They finally figured out how to run the ball. That helps any D.
Let's cut a crappy player after every loss.
RIP FULTON. Holy cow. Dolphins in the Super Bowl. How bizarre does that seem now.
Gase needs to be looking for a GM NOW. I WISH he could lure JJ out just on a limited basis like with Parcells.
Don't think so either. May stumble into 1 or 2 more, but that's about it.
Okay, at least Gase is doing SOMETHING that should get the players' attention. Jamil Douglas, Billy Turner, Dallas Thomas & Isaih Pead in one...
Okay, we're agreed that T-Bum is a disaster and the talent is below average, but there are quite a few things that are clearly on the coaches....
Chad Kelly.
We're worse.
Clean house. Players, staff, management. Clean f'ing house.
If they decide to go ground and pound, I'm pretty sure he'd restructure that ridiculous number. It's not like he's going to get more than 2-3 as...
That depends on what the question is. Is it, "Can he be a decent starter in a run oriented team with a stout defense?", or is it "Can he put the...
Great short post on the site that shall not be named, but the gist is that Ross has INSISTED on building a team around an Elite QB - finesse....
Chad Kelly
Because we should be.

Ray Lucas led O was worse. But not a whole hell of a lot.

Head says the opposite, but it would be soooooooooo Lphins to do this: Miami 28 Cinci 26 Rushing - 112

This is silly. They're both atrocious. The failures of each affect and contribute to the failures of the other. The only thing which appears...
He needs to apply it. And I don't care WHO it is. Williams, Suh, Jones ... whoever. If they give any lip, cut their ***. Can't have this...
They're both terrible. Can't consistently run and can't stop the run. D can't cover intermediate or deep. What I saw that I'm intrigued by is...
Naaah. I don't think anyone is that delusional. My preseason estimate of 4-12 to 7-9 was overly optimistic, though.
That's where everyone's head should be at. A win is a first step.
Yeah, that was the other part of why I quit watching the games live. I'd go into a funk after every loss, whether it was a big matchup or a gimme...
I've got to see improvement. I sat through and enjoyed JJ's first year here, even though I think they finished 8-8 (maybe 7-9 - don't remember)...
That's false. I left after a dose of Culpepper, returned to watch Cameron fail for a few games, left again, watched Sparano jadedly, then jumped...

I understand dude. The only time I completely walked away from it was after watching the start of the third game Dante Culpepper was playing QB...
I don't doubt that the Pats cheated. I'm not going to blame their getting up 31-3 on their cheating though.
When? I've been waiting for them to win these types of games since 2001, with 2008 being the only year they actually managed to pull it off.
Well, I also pegged them at around a 4-7 win team, but you always hope to be surprised to the upside because it keeps you interested. It should,...
Okay, then what's your take?
Likely because of government programs which encourage women to have children without being married. Over time, it has cummulative impact.
No, actually my take is it is the culture with the absence of strong fathers in the household. You jump to the conclusion that there is some...
There hasn't been booing of Kaepernick at the game? It doesn't disrupt the fans' enjoyment of the game? I'm sure singing the star spangled...
Actually, a racist would prolly tell you they were a racist in a minute. But, that's immaterial to the fact that people don't like to be falsely...
Really? Looks to cause a lot of disruption in the fan base and at the games.
Again, people who aren't racists don't like being called racists. I wonder how such a hateful racist place as the United States ever elected a...
I think you're exactly right, and that is the ultimate goal, even though these players prolly don't realize it.
I see. So, if you were to walk into your office every morning and sing the Star Spangled Banner at the top of your lungs upon entering the door...
As I said, people who aren't racists don't like to be called racists. That includes every person in America, as well as police.

Well, if they are doing this on official time, then I agree, it is deplorable. My understanding was that these cops are doing it for extra pay...
Cops are just offering their own "protest" of sorts. I suppose they don't appreciate being called racists. Very few people do.
Fair is fair.
Nope.

Adam Beasley said a player told him Ajayi didn't handle the demotion well.
Good. Maybe he'll quit sucking so much.
Nice. Now show me.
A good RB will make the OL look good, and spur their enthusiasm to perform better.
For who? Not Miami. He could pull in the circus catch and otherwise drop a breadbasket on biscuit wheels.
http://www.miamiherald.com/sports/spt-columns-blogs/barry-jackson/article100633062.html Chris Chambers is coaching them. :smackhead:
That was what I gleaned when either Gase or Jefferson was talking about his not having to be so fast and that he needed to be more deceptive.
@CK OUCH. None of those are very good options.
I think they can get him to learn 10 plays in 2 weeks time.
And you don't think this has crossed Gase's mind?
I think every bit of this is correct. He's not going to be playing 40+ plays, but he'll probably come in for 10+. Also, I could see them holding...
I didn't want to say that because, well ... Dolphins. But he looks uncoverable to me.
I do suspect they've held him out to spring him on somebody. Whether its SEA or the Cheats, I don't know.
Ajayi pissed me off the other night. It would be gratifying to see his *** get cut, but prolly not smart.
Add Dysert [ETA] He sucked hard last Thursday. Gase apparently meant it when he said the games are the ultimate eval.
You don't believe 70% of the citizens of this country are pissed off at Kap for that? But regardless, let's say its 50. You think 50% of the...

He absolutely has the right to do what he's doing. I personally think he needs to go live in Yemen where he can join in with his ISIS bros, but...
Stupid assed "Big O" is a sucker for names. Very shallow understanding of football in general with a huge mouth and zero real world experience.
Lets see him cover somebody first.
1. Sound and aggressive tackling by Fins D (hope the opposite for Atlanta) 2. Strong OL play 3. Pead with 1s making it impossible to keep him...
Yeah, from what I've seen of that atrocious D, its possible.
That's simply not true. I've never been a Tanny jock rider, but if DL are pouring through before he can even get set, its not his fault he gets...
Don't see how Simms could have much downside vis a' vis Jordan.
D25, you're embarrassing yourself. We all have hope for Doughty. THill had a pretty damned good night.
Pretty sure its "A". It's likely some portion of that is due to veterans not wanting to injure anyone or get injured in a PS game. Some portion...
I called 4-6 wins and that may be overly generous.
You didn't see the 86 - 87 defenses of Chuck Studley, apparently. But yeah, they're pretty damned bad. The front is overpaid and on the downhill...
Yes. He's bigger and stronger, or appears to play that way, but just based on those highlight clips, he doesn't look to be very agile. Has...

I don't know about teaching it, but the mentality can be developed through repetitively doing it in live action.

You may not like the relative penalties, but he knew the substance abuse policy. Like I said, he found smoking dope more important than playing...

Nobody has any problem beating us when a player is injured, such as Albert or DVP.
Which is what I said: he may not be able to articulate it, but he has to be seeing something. Because when I made the comment previously that he...
Oh come on. QB throws by psychic connection? Is that what you're saying? He's seeing something he either can't, or won't, articulate. Maybe...
Well, he's seeing something that cues him in, whether he can articulate it or not. I mean he's not pulling a mental telepathy thing; he has to be...
So that's what you're seeing? He's looking off the guy he throws to in order to "look" him open?
You observe or hear anything to base that on or is that or just speculation? Not as S/A question.
Mighty Mouse can't be covered. LOL

Oh, he was covered really well. He didn't shield with his body very well though and on that TD, he didn't fight for the ball at all.

Wtf is a "colour rush"?

But people do mature as they get older. Not that I'm expecting DJ to even make the team, but it's possible he could wake up and smell the cat food.
Thanks for freeing my Sundays up guys.
I have a feeling he'll break something and retire.
Expect nothing out of him. If he even makes the team it will be gravy.
Actually, if you listen to the interview which was the press availability interview, he had not spoken to Dion at the time that statement was...

Is Foerster that guy that resigned after being caught with porn on his puter?
Tanny lifted his game after Philbin would not commit to Tanny being the QB if his play didn't improve. He needs to feel some heat.
Agreed. Tanny needs to be pushed, or at least perceive that he's being pushed.
Dan Le Betard has the comedic mentality of an 11 year old. That said, I've read he is quiet.

I obviously hope I'm wrong, but I suspect the Cheats will do what they always do on the big stage. It's a TALL order to come up on a short week,...
Prayer sent and GO PHINS!
They're cheating, somehow. Seriously. It's what.they.do.
You're right of course. Williams has his role and its an important one - he just hasn't shown anything at moving the rock that impresses me at all.
That's all ya got?
Damien Williams is a preseason all pro. I've never seen him do jack otherwise.
I think in this day and age that it is ludicrous to think that anyone wouldn't hire a coach just because they're black.
TB4XSBC NE cheats. Let's see if that will make any difference when being mauled by a team playing with its head on fire.
This 110%. All we've seen is the team going at 7500 rpm. If they can keep THAT up...heh... no prob. But how they respond when they get behind...
Isn't that what they said with Jamil Douglas? Walt Aikins?
He has the FIRE of Tony Sparano - Sparano was just so offensively conservative that he couldn't get the team out from under the play calling. It...
Frankly, knowing how this team has performed over the many, many years, I expect we'll get to see a lot of exciting football, some impressive...
I think what he was getting at was that the Defense put the O in a position to where they were playing "catch up" - the play calls would have been...
No, I mean the early losses piling up end up amounting to a tie-breaker in an equal record scenario to keep us out of the playoffs.
This was gratifying, but ... and just being realistic here ... bounce back wins aren't uncommon after a coaching change. Let's see if they...
It really wasn't running up the score, although the final totals look that way. If they didn't control the ball when they did, they risked...
In typical Dolphin fashion - likely go on a stunning winning streak and then fall short, losing in a tie-breaker to Buff or NYJ
But for the reincarnation of Bill Arnsparger.
I'd read that the info on the "practice squad paycheck" incident came from an agent. I dunno - is Miko Grimey's agent?
Just watched the conference on the team website. If nothing else, the guy is intense. He looked like he could have taken a few reporters' heads...
The entire thing is dysfunctional.
A certainty. These DA need to realize their performances are being evaluated too.
They have to be able to replace the guys with SOMEBODY. If there's a free ex-D coordinator out there, they can't just walk in and install a...
Randi Gefflin - who? Some sports writer who isn't local scoops the 40 local beat writers? Not likely. More likely - his "sources" are some...
Dude. That really is sad.
Good choice GH. Don't let football ruin your day.
You're a good dude ARodgers, but the Dolphins are a pathetic joke right now.
Hope springs eternal.
He likely hasn't had enough of her antics yet.
You likely won't have long to wait. The product on the field won't be appreciably better either, though.
As has been apparent after listening to her on the radio after a few moments, she is mentally ill.
It has been my experience, and I've commented before, it seems that whenever the fans go into the season with high expectations, the Phins just...
Coyle should have been gone end of last year.
2008 team played up to their potential - performed generally week-in, week-out, to their competitive talent level. They weren't going to blow...
It's been going on for FAR longer than a decade and a half. Try every year since 1974 with the exception of 84-85 and 2008.
Phins 24 - Jags 13
Well, I'll say this; I think Benton is a better OL coach than Turner.
True. It was the same when we played up there last year (and lost) - they'd just found a buyer for the team with that Pegula guy and they were...
Opening weekends are notorious for having freaky results / scores. That said, based upon what I saw in the Thursday night game, I wouldn't be...
Better tighten up quick. Buffalo looked sharp on O & D yesterday.
Entire GAME is pass happy nowadays. I'm not a fan of it, but you can beat your brains out on 8 min drives and have someone answer it in under 2.
Oh BS. If that were anyone else, no one would have thought anything of it. Did not look like he was intending to do anything to the guy.
'08 started 0-2, went on a 10 game streak to finish the season with AFCE title.
Yup. Been reading their press clippings. Maybe its a good wake up call for em.
Bye Bye LaMike
Again, all this chest thumping - it can all go to hell if the Phins find a way to FK it up with special teams disasters and turnovers.
Absent turnovers and special team fiascoes, we should be able to win this one. Now, after a turnover free preseason for the 1s, will they @#$%...
Brady is 38. In the league for 15th season. He doesn't have too many more to go.
Those are VERY, very good.
I see the hands and blocking skills, but as a rushing threat, I don't see it with him.
Yup - Cut Logan Thomas and Jacques McLendon
per Adam Schefter. No link - just saw it on twitter. ETA: And Sam Brenner. Cut Logan Thomas and Jacques McLendon - per Barry Jackson
Bills have the Cheats next weekend. Their fans, anyway, think the 15 yards for taking out his knee and 15 yards for excessive celebration would...
Hell, if there's not a rule explicitly stating that, "[n]o team or any of its representatives shall listen to the frequency of the other team's...
Whoever is playing opposite Grimes and whoever is at any LB position during passing downs.
Tannehill, Ryan [05] - Wake, Cameron [480] +
Hope the team doesn't take Wash as lightly as this board does. That'd be a hell of a reality check, wouldn't it?
That they better not read their own press clippings.
Tannehill, Ryan [10] - Wake, Cameron [475] +
Dad had been a Saints fan, but he'd apparently gotten tired of watching a losing team. Around the age of 9, our HS team had gone on to win a...
What I want to know is WHAT is the NFL going to do to STOP THEM FROM CONTINUING TO CHEAT??? ANYTHING?
Perspective, from a Bills fan:
Tannehill, Ryan [24] - Wake, Cameron [461] +
Why would anyone think they AREN'T still doing this crap? They are CHEATING because that's just what they do. That's what that Ernie Adams guy...
Coincidence? NOT BLOODY LIKELY!!
Tannehill, Ryan [51] - Wake, Cameron [434] +
Why? What evidence is there that they've ever NOT cheated? Players sure do make a lot of plays when they've got the right call for every play...
What makes you think you're going to get a fair game against the Pats**? They're STILL cheating. That entire organization has to be cleaned...
Lifetime ban for BB
Does anyone doubt they're STILL doing this kind of stuff?
You knew it was deeper than just the taping of signals ... What LEGITIMATE reason could Goddell have to destroy the evidence following the...
I was about to come over here to post, "[s]urely, we're not going to keep two GD kickers".
Add Jeff Luc to cuts, per Barry Jackson.
Is this remarkable talent at throwing INTS near the goal line what got Freeman cut from TB? He's awesome at it.
Yeah, about the only ones I can recall are Thomas "Hollywood" Henderson and it seems like Bobby Humphreys had gotten into some trouble before he...
Yes, because players don't improve with more experience nor learn how to correct mental mistakes. :up:
That's exactly what I'd do. We can get by with Jason Fox vs. Wash & Jax. Rather have a more complete Brandon Albert, who, like every player, is...
Put a monocle on him and you've got Colonel Klink. Sent from my SGH-M919 using Tapatalk
Yeah, really LIKED the guy's attitude, but it's a numbers game here. They likely did release him early to allow him a better chance to catch on...
Excellent observation. I don't know what "the real Joe Philbin" is, but I do know that a death in your immediate family can knock the wind out...
Heh.... NYJ have ALWAYS been like an annoying pest. They can have a 3-13 team and one of those wins will be against Miami.
Too much of this the last 30 years of Dolphin football. :lol: But yeah, if you allow it, fandom can be a very important part of who you are.
Misi is a stiff, but behind this DL he'll look better.
KC Joyner is a life long Dolphins fan. He, at one time, did football statistical analysis - maybe Football Outsiders? Just going from memory here.
Just listened to an interview with Kelvin Sheppard (sp?) on QAM with O. Kelly. I've never watched the guy play, but he comes off as being a...
Yeah, I DEFINITELY remember JT taking over games. Seems like it was a Cincinnati game @ Cincy and the Phins were pulling their typical...
Can hear the old MNF theme. We always wore dark jerseys for night home games.
You're correct. The uneasy feeling in our collective stomach is we've had such terrible luck with this before - e.g., Yatil Green.
Awesome. Should go with it permanently.
If I were his attorney, I'd advise, in a very diplomatic way, he ought to just make a self-serving public statement stating that while he's...
HA HAA... yeah, remember the NBC lead in of his blurred out hands before the game. IIrc, that was one of those games we just throttled Buff -...
Well, I'd hope they were looking 10x faster than at this point last year. They hadn't even started training camp and the only install had been...
Go listen to it. Seems like he briefly said something to the effect of week 1 return "a bit optimistic". Could be wrong - didn't sit there and...
Yeah, I watched it the other day. Seems like he said something that indicated Albert was unlikely to be ready by Game 1.
