Tua is doing better. Certainly so in the last game. He had a good percentage of passes caught--that's positive. Yet, I don't see him progressing enough to become a franchise QB. His weaknesses--arm strength and injuries will hold him back. I see another RG3. If a better QB option becomes available (not Watson) or shows up in the draft, the Dolphins need to be in the hunt.

Dick Anderson was exceptional. He and Jack Scott were a great combo.

What an outstanding game for the Dolphins. Everything clicked and it resulted in a dominating game. Congratulations and high fives everywhere. The team looks like a team and acts like one. It is so much nicer being happy as a player (I suppose) when the team is successful. As a fan it is far more pleasurable when the team wins than to have to complain about what went wrong on an ugly, loss.

Beautiful--another interception. That's 3 for the D.

I was going to state that this was the best half the Dolphins have played until...the botched snap to Tua as the team was getting closer to try for a field goal. Time expired after the Panthers grabbed the football and advanced it toward their end zone. Ref's somehow found an extra second left and (are you kidding) the Panthers' get three with a field goal. Score is 21 -10 right now. Should hav

Tua's best game to date. Great pass to Waddle for big gain. Then... Gaskin runs it in for a TD. Love this!

Waddle catches a hot one. TD!!!!

Blocked punt and 7. Interception of Newton! We have a good game going today! Keep it going. Go DOLPHINS!!!

Didn't catch the show--in the garage removing "clutter" before the big game. Yes, practicing over the head like Willie Mays catch in the Polo Grounds a long time ago...something may be surprising in the game today. We shall see.

The Carolina Panthers face the Dolphins today at the stadium. It should be a good game as I think the teams are evenly matched. If so, does that mean low scoring? Or, does it mean a game where the scores are in the 20s or more? Either way.... GO DOLPHINS!

This is another indication of desperation. Not to say that Lindsay is not going to be productive it's just that he doesn't quite fit the short yardage, bruiser we need to make a first down or get into the end zone from 2 yards out. It truly is confusing. We need a legit FB. (I miss the Czonka days when D-linemen weren't happy to be on the field facing him.)

The Dolphins play the Panthers next Sunday. Cam Newton (formerly a Panther and Patriot) is back at QB. The guy was a diva and continues to be one. At Auburn he was electric but his "Superman" identity was a bit too much for me to like him as the Panthers QB. I get the impression by watching him that IT is all about him, not the team.

Wow. Justin Herbert is terrific. Passes are crisp and his athleticism startled me...very fluid, fleet afoot and smart. The Chargers were very lucky to get this guy as their franchise QB. His slides remind me of a MLB baseball player sliding successfully into 2nd base. Very agile guy. Very impressed, to say the least.

Nothing exceptional but enough to pull this one out of the tie and go on to BEAT THE JETS! The team has won 3 in a row. Very pleased things are brighter and more hopeful that we can win another game next week.
Forum: Miami Dolphins Civilized Discussion

It's half-time! I don't know what to make of the game play at the moment. Tua doesn't seem to have much time to throw the ball and the line isn't opening holes to run. The missed FG hurts and sours team spirit, IMO. Gaskin needs to be used as a receiver -- get him in open space and get him the ball. Tua also needs to do ball handling and faking to runners and then throw. Tua needs to run

OH NO, another interception. Damn. Points scored. Now it's a tie game at 7-7. C'mon lets score again.

It appears Joe Flacco will be the Jets' QB for tomorrow's game that starts around 1pm. Flacco will test the Dolphins' secondary so pressure from the Dolphins is a must to get Joe to move out of the pocket to throw off his timing and deep, long ball throws. I am looking forward to the Dolphins running the ball to get the Jets to think run so passes to Waddle and Gesicki are completed. I'd l

Yeah, it's only Wednesday but I'm looking ahead to Sunday's game against the Jets in NY. After the throttling the Dolphins gave to the Ravens, I too am wondering how things seemed to turn around. Was it just a bad day for the Ravens? That happens now and then. Gee, it's just hard to figure out. Evidence of improvement for the Dolphins is sketchy. Was the team just lucky or were they "goo

Okay Dolphins fans the team is in prime time tonight when they host the Baltimore Ravens. (8:20pm) With a few days of rest the defense faces one extremely mobile QB and that will really be a challenge (to say the least). Offensively, the Dolphins are a one trick pony--that is, passing to either Waddle or Gesicki. The running game is merely a running play to offset a pass to these two rece

Tonight will be most interesting. Flores is apparently going to move offensive linemen around again. That's the rumor. Tua may or may not play. We really won't know until the first snap. Everything seems to be iffy. Jackson is a handful and our defense will be having problems trying to keep him in the pocket. Pressure him and all Jackson does is dart around, usually down field. I am

I too agree with you Captkoi. Tua has become the current RGIII. Our first-year O-line coach is not showing much to improve the quality of the big men up front. This is an area that in my opinion was seriously overlooked. An experienced and add the word "successful" O-line coach is not what we have. The big guys trying to perform are failing. It's hard to comprehend that all of
