While I understand this SB was the most watched ever, I had it on TV more for background noise, much like you'd listen to the car radio in heavy traffic. I really had no "dog in this fight" so to speak, and I had minimal interest in it. Had it been the Dolphins, every second would have had my attention. Oh well, maybe some day.
It was good to see Czonka. I remember being in a local

Draft is in April so we have lots of time to speculate. Who remains and who is healthy will be critical to our drafting needs. End rushing may be a heavy focus since our guys are still ailing. Running out of edge rushers in December is akin to a baker running out of flour / yeast while making Christmas pastries.
I'd keep the 21 spot for now and see how thing develop.

Our football starters and bench strength will depend on who is healthy and who stays on the team and not cut. Also, what players new to the team will actually perform for more than a few snaps. UGH.

I have no animosity toward either team based on past games played between other teams including our Dolphins. As for Taylor Swift, I only know one of her tunes, "Shake it off." Other than that...crickets. Her attraction to Kelce is okay by me but I too dislike the excessive coverage of her on TV at games. We, the fans of football don't need to see who she is giggling with, how she jump

"We are stuck with him...." I believe too much is currently invested in him (time and effort) and that Tua needs some additional "fine tuning" to see if he can get us to a division title and to win play off games...at least. With the injuries sustained to important players we can only hope they recover and are near 100% in August. If we draft some quality linemen talent addin

Here we go again. We are now back on critiquing our QB. Is is justified? Yes, it is.
Unless I missed something during the Tua era, Tua has not been able to put it in to overdrive and win any big game. Then there's McDaniel and the coaching staff.
Sometimes the play calling is quite good, but McDaniels fails to adjust to adjustments made by the defense. Too much of the offense is dependent

Season over. Tua was on the ropes because of the weather and his inability to put any zip on the ball. Also, play calling was poor. Tua doesn't have the arm, mobility and physical toughness to excel against good teams. This is evident.
++++
For all the players that are injured, I wish you all a speedy recovery.

I've been watching the game...lucky I guess. NBC and Peacock--Taylor Swift--not good for football--too damn greedy.
We can't move the ball. Our defense is holding it's own and the weather is effecting both teams. However, the Chiefs have a dynamic QB and that factor will be the difference IMO.
The score is 16-3; we have a chance to get back in the game, but from what I've seen, we need luck

The weather folks are not smiling favorably for this match up. Weather will be tough on all players and I surely hope no one succumbs to a terrible injury because of the cold and potentially icy field.
As a teen, I played MLB and hurt my right hip while playing on an icy field. The ball carrier came right at me and when I ran toward him to make the tackle my right foot didn't plant but slipped

JC--#66 and #67. The best tandem guards the Dolphins ever had. Hopefully, someday, the team will have another pair that are just as mobile, tough and dependable.

"They don't make 'em like that anymore." That is a fact. Kooch was an amazingly tough guy. I remember that broken arm bit and asked a surgeon how the heck could he play like that, and the surgeon simply shrugged. Kooch was one of the two best guards the Dolphins ever had on the field. Should be in the HOF.

Yeah-PEACOCK. Just won't do it. Coverage may be local to us in South Florida.
I can understand why Hollingsworth gets excited watching Josh Allen play, the guy makes plays, is big and quite athletic, and has an abundance of confidence to step it up two notches when the game is on the line. Unfortunately, Tua has none of these qualities.
Forum: Miami Dolphins Civilized Discussion
The loss of Van Ginkle and the return TD for 96 yards by the Bills, (allowed because of leg injury and Ingold falling over Cameron) was indicative of what was about to happen in the second half.
We also saw the superior play by a big, tough athlete (Allen) who took the game effort to a higher offensive level and the outcome for the Bills was inevitable. Tua, IMO, can't perform in the same mann
Forum: Miami Dolphins Civilized Discussion
Honestly, I am amazed we are ahead at the half. When Tua throw that intercept I thought bad things were coming. Surprised to say the least, the guys are playing pretty well. The return of Baker has added energy to the defense.
If we can keep up the good play...there's hope we win the division. Worry about the next game after we win this one.
Go Dolphins!

Tonight, under the lights on Sunday Night Football is the biggest and most important game of the day. Will it be Josh Allen or our QB Tua celebrating victory at the end of the night? I know that I can speak for all of us that it would be fantastic for Tua to be on stage and excelling for a victory.
The Dolphins need to come out smoking hot, put points on the board and then keep Josh Allen a

I have to agree with all of you!
The team is in a heap of trouble. Injuries have blossomed like crab grass and what was a promising season several weeks back looks like the organizing of a wake today.
I didn't have much hope that we'd be able to beat the Ravens. The loss to the Titans--nonsense--and stupid defensive scheme--prevent defense--yes, agree "prevents from winning."

Chubb's injury, not truly specified yet to the public--the way he turned and grabbed his knee--I'm guessing its a torn ACL. We probably won't see him play anymore this season.

All of the talking heads on TV picked the Ravens to win but for Nate. To that end, the Ravens have easily outclassed us. We are net a top-tier team yet and won't be until we can out-muscle an opponent.
Out QB is immobile and unless timing is perfect, the passing play fails.
We have several excellent players, no doubt about it, but not quite in the Ravens' class of talent. Tua has become r
Forum: Miami Dolphins Civilized Discussion
It's looking bad guys. We are simply being outplayed. The one-hand catch may have sealed the game before half time.
The Ravens look to be more muscular and overall more athletic than counter-parts.
Forum: Miami Dolphins Civilized Discussion
We all know this is a very crucial game for the Dolphins to win. We have to be at our very best in all departments. Fan support will be missing as this game ain't at home. Hopefully, players realize that there are millions of us routing for them from afar, at home and at various sports bars. If fan support was all that was needed, we'd win this game hands down.
GO FINS! Beat the Ravens.

Half time- Things are going well overall. Mostert TD run #21. I hope he gets 2 more tonight.
Merry Christmas again.

Today is Christmas Eve. Wishing all of you a very Merry Christmas.
Aside from Santa's flight late tonight, it is game day for many NFL teams and most importantly for us, the big game with rival Dallas.
While I followed Roger Staubach as a Naval Midshipman, his eventual hiring by Dallas and the games played between Dallas and the Dolphins were always thrilling as well as embarrassing. Dall

The Jets where hit with a left, a right, two jabs and an upper cut to the noggin. Shut out!
Very happy for the turn around and seeing a fire lighted under the team's game plan. Kudos to all.
10-4.

The score is 24-0 Dolphins at the half.
Amazing that a team so lost on MNF looks together today. Offense has adjusted using Plan B and scoring. Mostert and Achane and Waddle doing well offensively, because the o-line is doing well today.
Defense has suddenly beamed down and are playing pretty well. Pressure on the QB from the front 4 is doing great. Zach Wilson has no time to think.

The weather has been pretty crummy the last few days and it appears to be an element both teams will need to deal with today too. The wind may be our secondary's big play maker.
Because of the last game (a debacle) the Dolphins are an underdog, IMO and I expect the booth will focus on what the Jets will do to beat the Dolphins.
The wind and weather has to have an adverse effect upon each

It's a showboat mentality compared to "we're all business" during the early 70s.
Agree. Make a great play and move on to making the next one and next one. Celebrate when the division is won and after every winning playing off game.

I feel like crap; I thought it was utter disappointment with MNF--it wasn't--I have COVID!
Anyway, pressure on QB not prevent defense is what should have been used against the Titans' QB. Fangio blew it and needs to get his head on straight.
I've said it. McDaniel had no Plan B to go to that would use other (non Hill) receivers. The TE is and remains a useless receiving position. Berrios an
