The 49ers did Miami no favors; I thought for sure they would knock off the Ravens which would allow Miami back into the number one seed. However, saying that, I am hoping McDaniel and Fanzio learned something from that game. The defense has to force turnovers. Ramsey and X need to play their best game of the season, especially X; I have seen him beaten too many times this season. Ramsey is sol

As good as Miami is, I am still wary. Going back to the Titans game, it showed all of us that the Fins are not a solid, can beat anyone team. That game soured me on this season. Today and the following two games will determine Miami's fate. If they can win all three, hell, Super Bowl here we come, but I am, as yet, not very confident what this team will deliver, starting today. I am rec

I would highly recommend the team stop with ALL of their celebrations, both offense and defense. Make the plays, then move on. Congratulate one another, but that's it. You guys are presently spiraling downward; you are, once again, on the verge of getting knocked out of the playoffs, or at the least, one-and-done. Just do your jobs! Versus the Titans, I saw a lot of celebrations, and what happene

Whatever the Dolphins do (or don't do) will not surprise me. They could end up winning 2 of their last 3 games, and they could also go on a 4 game losing streak (like they did last year), starting with the Jets. Hill is questionable for the Jets game. If I were McDaniel and Hill is good to go, I would start Hill and if the game gets lopsided (either way) I would pull him. I am sure Hill will

I have resolved that I will not watch any more Fins games live; I will record them and depending on the outcome or how well/poorly they played, will determine if I even watch at all. Tired of their BS. I read where Jackson said the team didn't take the Titans seriously. I personally don't believe that; they just played poorly. I still find it hard to believe in the last 3 minutes, give or

Well, many will say it's one game; let downs happen to the best of them. I agree, however, Miami isn't strong enough to overcome a loss like this. I hope the Fins prove me wrong, but if you can't defeat a Tenn team, what the hell are they going to do in the last three games? Dallas is looking unbeatable, Balt is the AFC #1` seed, and I don't care what Buffalo's record is or how they have played p

We still have a way to go yet of the 2023 season, but.... 2024 not only is aimed at the draft, but also FA and trades. We are all pushing for the Fins to go far, very far, in 2023, and hopefully our guys will get where we all want them to be. Once this season is over, Miami has many players, and many of them are front line players, that will have to be paid, and I am pointing out Wilkins.

I wonder if Kraft will have the balls to pull the plug on Belchick? The Pats, at present, have either the 2nd or 3rd pick in the draft. No doubt they will be going for a QB. I saw on a ticker that Armstead got hurt again? Despite his being a really good OT, what good does that do for the team if he is on the sideline more than on the field? OL is a position Miami has to concentrate on (aga
Forum: Miami Dolphins Civilized Discussion

The Jets have too good of a defense to expect a blowout from Miami. Our OLine is still a question as there are still too many injuries that are stopping our guys from getting on the field. Hopefully, those who are questionable can play. As someone already stated here, AChane probably won't play. I agree with the coaching staff in that if there is any question, he should sit out this game. Miam
Forum: Miami Dolphins Civilized Discussion

Tua is doing very well; top 5 in every category. Does he have "it"? I think he does, but he has to finish out this season healthy and get the Fins into the playoffs, and wins, at least, the first game. Then he does as well, if not better, next season, then there is no question that he has "it." One thing Tua needs to work on is not throwing into a crowd. If he had a bazooka
Forum: Miami Dolphins Civilized Discussion

Ken Dorsey, OC of the Buffalo Bills, has been fired. I question this as he is a good play caller; he's not the one out there throwing interceptions; he's not the one dropping passes; he's not the one allowing the opposing D to bust through to sack the QB and/or stop the runner in his tracks. Sometimes I wonder about front office decisions. But, I guess it is easier to fire "A" coa
Forum: Miami Dolphins Civilized Discussion

Fins "should" be able to handle the Raiders, but with a new coach and a two game win streak, you never know. Now is the time for Miami to get real serious and finish out this season on a positive note, which includes winning the big ones coming up, or at least winning one of those games. Miami needs to stretch their lead in the AFC East.
Forum: Miami Dolphins Civilized Discussion

Seems like Rodgers told a Chargers player that he should be on the field in a couple of weeks. Not sure that will matter with the Jets OL being banged up, but Rodgers is dangerous, no matter what. If true, then Rodgers will play against Miami late in the season, or maybe even both games. We shall see.
Forum: Miami Dolphins Civilized Discussion

Well, I was hoping, but.... Guys, this is not a Super Bowl team. They have the talent, but don't have the "it." The D played well enough to win, but the O just couldn't come through, and that falls on every one of them. Hill's fumble was a rarity, but there were a couple of passes he should have caught, and normally does, but not on this day. Mostert had good stats, but much of h

Well, we get Ramsey back, but of course not all is positive with the team. Hunt - out Armistead - ? Williams - ? X - ? And there are others. Granted, McDaniel said most, if not all (except Hunt), will probably play. Also, Brandon Jones is out - concussion protocol and didn't make the trip. Reports indicate Ramsey will be covering Kelce most of the game. It is now up to the ot

Treasure. I agree 100%. If we get our guys back healthy, we have an excellent chance to beat KC; if we still have some of our starters out, then Miami will still have a chance, but I'm not real confident.
Forum: Miami Dolphins Civilized Discussion

Well, another test for Miami coming up in Frankfurt. Can this game determine if the rest of the NFL should take the fins seriously (or not)? KC will not play against Miami the way they did against Denver. they made a lot of mistakes (especially Mahomes), but I don't forwee that Sunday; maybe Miami can get one turnover. Will Mahomes still have a sickness in Germany? Will Swifty be in attendance

He played more than I expected, and came out of the game fine. He is needed back there, now hopefully X will be healthy vs KC.

Just read where Ramsey is out. Good call, IMO.
Forum: Miami Dolphins Civilized Discussion

It is reported that Jalen Ramsey may play Sunday vs the Patriots, but he is basically saying not so fast. IMO, if he does play, I wouldn't have him on the field too much; just let him get his feet wet. Don't want to chance him getting hurt and out for the season. He will be needed vs the Chiefs in Germany more than he would be needed vs the Patriots. I would also sit X if he isn't 100%. T. Hi

Well, I am not surprised with the outcome. Not going away from the fact that we have a few of our key players out, but so did the Eagles, but that didn't seem to affect them.

The Fins game was not shown here in San Diego, so I have to wait for NFLN to replay it this week. So, I will base my observations, right now, on the hi-lites and stats. Our D worries me, big time.

I didn't see the game, but when NFLN replays it, I will probably watch the first quarter and half of the second. While I was score watching, it looked like the Bills were on their way to topping what the Fins did last week. The Bills have our number, and to be truthful, they had our number even with Marino behind center. I am not impressed with Fangio's D. Is it him, or the players, or
