Here is his writeup for Phins-Pats
It's so easy to pick the Patriots over the Dolphins, but we're saying, "Not this time." When these AFC East foes last met, the Fins blew a 17-3 halftime lead. But that was in New England, with Rob Gronkowski playing and Miami still missing its mettle. Well, the mettle is there now. These guys are playing as a team, which might sound like a cliché, but we don't care. The Dolphins have won three of their last four under tricky circumstances. Ryan Tannehill isn't taking sacks like he had been earlier in the season (one in Week 13 and two last week), and the running game has posted 306 yards over the past two games. Give the offensive line a lot of credit for improving its play. The linebackers had better do the same, because Tom Brady has carved up opponents by throwing to his running backs. Shane Vereen is a difference-maker for the Pats through the air. #NEvsMIA
This is gonna be a big one. One where we get the respect we deserve if we win.
COME ON DOLPHINS, kick the butts off the New England Pansyasses
Bpkluxury_boxWhat amazes me is, we were literally a Left Tackle away from becoming a playoff team. Crazy the impact it's had for Tannehill to be less pressured, and the run game improving.
Also, Richie being out probably helped us, surprisingly.
Building yourselves up just to be disappointed. This place is going to be fun after the game.
CitizenSnipsNew Memberbeat the pats and we're in the playoffs with ease. There's even a possibility we could sit Tannehill and crew against the Jets if we were to win the next two games.
padre31luxury_boxEh, :words:
To me, let's see what the crowd looks and sounds like, the few times I've seen a Sunlife crowd JACKED for a game, we've won.
Keep in mind, the patsies understand momentum expect a strong flurry of plays to start the game from them, they want to take the crowd out of it.

Hmm, didn't they beat you guys this season?

padre31luxury_boxIDK if we will win or lose this one, will say Kraken is going to be coming off the ball like Usain Bolt.

Because we think we have a legitimate chance to win at home ?

That's fine. I was referring to the idea of sitting your QB in your situation.

In the extremely hypothetical situation that we beat the pats and the bills int he next two weeks, and the ravens lose both their games (Lions, Pats), we will have clinched the 6th spot. The game against the jets would be meaningless and playing tannehill after the first series against a hated rival would be quite stupid IMO.

Don't use logic. It frightens them.
The KRAKEN! Still proving doubters wrong on the weekly.
Get well soon Tanny. #ThatsMyQB

I guarantee you Tannehill will not sit even if you clinch the wildcard with 1 game left (highly unlikely.)
BlameItOnTheHenneforum_veteranWhy does this guy act as if his team is the 85 Bears?

because they lost to the Bengals 6-13 and beat the broncos who lost to the likes of SD.
And definitely, never once, at any point, in history, get help from the refs.
OH! and their underrated and get no positive press/publicity.

Don't draft Jon Martin and sign Bryant Mckinnie in the offseason and we might be...don't mind me.

I don't call any website "home." What kind of a question is that?

If you don't respond it means you have no class and no guts, and you should be banned because if you have no stake in the bet, your really nothing but a troll..
rtl1334New MemberWe won't be sitting Tannehill under any circumstances. He's a developing player and the 60 or so reps in any game are valuable for his development.

They can't beat us strait up..so they will try to take advantage of our aggressiveness and try with misdirection and deception..
Dol-Fan Dupreeforum_veteranPeople are starting to believe in the DOLPHINS!!!!
Great, that means we are going to lose.
