Crowder - In-laws have place near Tampa. We will probably drive over on Sunday to watch the game then stay over in Miami Sunday night. I'd prefer to skip Tampa/visiting in-laws all together to just make it a Dolphins vacation but I am obviously lacking in my "negotiation" skills.

I am planning to go to Miami the family for the Jets game December 28th. Any suggestions from the locals, do's, or don'ts as far as accommodations, tickets, parking, etc?

Tanneyhill is coming onto his own as a QB. Is he a HOFer? Probably not, very few are. Beyond the field, he appears to be a decent person, a good "face of the franchise". The team is headed in the right direction and have a bright future.

Coaching and front office work is a piece of cake - just pick the plays that work and the players that become all-pros.

Arizona calls a timeout with 0:01 left on the clock with Philadelphia having the ball on the Arizona 16. Is Arizona's coach a moron? No, because the Eagles didn't score. Philbin is only a moron because Green Bay scored. Any number of coaches would have and have done the same thing.

I read that they were trying out routes to see if they worked against certain coverages. The conclusion was that those routes didn't really work well.

There are less than 2,000 NFL players out of a population of 320+/- million. They are the very best at their profession. I would guess that the top 2,000 people in just any profession you could think of (not just sports) earn really big $$$ - stockbrokers, real estate, banking, manufacturing, etc.

Hickey has already been criticized at length on this board for taking a chance to go after free agents coming off injury but with potential upside. Now he gets criticized for being conservative.

Decker is a beneficiary of having Peyton Manning throw to him. I would project his numbers to be far less next year.

Miami should and will kiss Martin's a$$ and do everything they can to accommodate him and get him to a new team, even at a perceived loss to the Dolphins. Yes, its the Dolphins team, but this is an NFL issue as well. The national media will be watching how this is handled via microscope. The league image is on the line as well.

The Dion Jordan trade rumors are unsettling. Miami trades up to take the 3rd pick and then are trying to trade Jordan after he was barely on the field his rookie year? The goal for the Dolphins is to win. The franchise though doesn't have a clear vision of how to get there. The franchise is rudderless: the front office is in shambles, the coaching staff is average at best, and the locker r

It sounds like the NFL pretty much forced the Dolphins to fire the trainer.

I foresee big lawsuits by Martin, the Asst Trainer, and the unnamed player.

Im pretty sure Brady underthrows the ball in that instance on purpose to try to get the call. Unlikely completion, but a PI call works just as well

The Dolphins may not have 100% say who the next GM is going to be. Our next coach is only going to be interim until Miami has proven that the house is in order. What is going to suck is that we are probably going to not have a 1st round pick next year because of all of this mess.
