21 - 0 so far. Today's loss will keep us close to the top pick in the draft. Sorry to see how non-competitive we are right now. To many players sidelined with injuries. Still remain perplexed on why Laird is not playing more. He is versatile.

Well we are going to "Mayfield's House." Those commercials are nuts. Anyway, they are without their primary rusher after whacking Rudolph on the noggin. Not much to say other than go Dolphins.
Forum: Miami Dolphins Civilized Discussion

A player who can't keep his nose clean...constantly bucks law and order...shouldn't earn big money with the Dolphins (or any other NFL team). Can't be law abiding? Goodbye...as there is a law abiding player out there that can play the position.

TC my opinion of whether Rosen is a quality QB or can become a quality NFL QB is open for speculation. Maybe he hasn't been given a fair chance, but then again maybe he has in terms of practice to learn how to play at the NFL level. Rosen seems to be the forgotten player on the Dolphins. How often does Coach Flores talk about him "coming" along in practice? How often do the sports m
Forum: Miami Dolphins Civilized Discussion

Yes, we have some talented players...we need more of them and they need more time and experience to work together and bond as a working unit. Coach Flores is on track. He will seed the team during the next draft with good prospects that will steadily improve play and make the Dolphins more competitive. In 2021 we should see 10 wins and make the playoffs. By 2021 the Chargers, Patriots,

We don't have: A franchise QB yet. An offensive line that is smart and talented and can block on running plays and adequately defend the QB on passing plays. A mixture of smart, elusive or hard hitting RBs. Defensive linemen that can disrupt or penetrate an opponent's offensive line very often. Linebackers that are strong against the run, fast enough to cover average WRs or TEs
Forum: Miami Dolphins Civilized Discussion

A couple of quick observations. 1) Bills have their franchise QB. 2) Bills, overall have a very good team. 3) Despite being out played, our big plays keep us alive to catch the Bills. Grant's 101 yd return was electrifying.
Forum: Miami Dolphins Civilized Discussion

The Dolphins host the Bills (6-3) and will test the Dolphins offensively and defensively today. It's hard to know just how the Dolphins will fare against them. One could speculate that it will be close while one could speculate that it will not be competitive at all. Fitzpatrick is leading the team and Flores is getting more and more performance and production from the players. Flores' coach

No team will be "tanking for Tua." What a shame that he was injured.
Forum: Miami Dolphins Civilized Discussion

Tua was injured today and was airlifted to Birmingham for medical treatment. From what I understand he injured his hip. Not only does this this effect Alabama but it could drastically effect the young man's future in the NFL.

That SF and Seattle game was a buster. Going into overtime...yikes. Seattle pulled it off...whoopee. "Another one bites the dust...." Bubbly, bubbly again. Three cheers for the '72 Dolphins!

Bengals, Giants and Jets...boy oh boy that some stiff competition for first pick in the next draft. However, any one of those teams could get lucky on a couple of botched plays by the Dolphins and score a victory against us. While we've improved considerably since week 1, lapses in performance are quite possible with a young team. When the Dolphins go into the game with any of these three hor

Ballage seems to head for the defending pack like a insect to bug zapper. Laird is smart and should play more.
Forum: Miami Dolphins Civilized Discussion

I missed the game live, had Veteran Day responsibilities and helped retire about 80 Old Glories. Recorded the game. Today I watched the ballgame and was surprised that we won; surprised to see just how poorly Hoyer played and was happy to see Laird finally get into the offense. The "hit" on Fitzpatrick that was not called as a roughing penalty (missed by the officiating crew) wou
Forum: Miami Dolphins Civilized Discussion

Preston Williams is out so there is one less receiver for Fitzpatrick to throw to. How this will effect the offense is anyone's guess--perhaps Devante Parker will step it up. He has another chance to take center stage. Go Fins.

Forum: Miami Dolphins Civilized Discussion

It's a damn shame that Preston Williams is out for the year. He was a highlight during a season of lost hope. I too hope his surgery goes well and that he has a full recovery. Gesicki is running better routes in my opinion and the passes to him are within reach. Fitzpatrick, while considered a journeyman QB, is far better than many first stringers trying to lead their teams. He has shown cap

Don't sweat it guys. TUA isn't Secretariat and is not a sure thing. Let's see how the other hapless teams progress this year before we start crying in or beer. We are still in the running for the top 1-3 picks.... A victory like today helps bond the players and promotes team work. Nobody knows whether we will win another game or not. It's possible we will, and it's very possible that we won't.
Forum: Miami Dolphins Civilized Discussion

I forget the thread where I posted about Gase not being a leader; he is not and I still don't understand why the ownership picked him to coach the Jets. The guy just doesn't have it. Happy to see the players happy and thrilled about the win. They doused Flores with Gatorade as if it was a big game win. Preston Williams seems to be quite a find--I hope his knee injury is minor and doesn't scr

I couldn't start the game day thread because of the Internet being down in my area this morning. Sorry. Watched the game thus far and we have looked better than expected so far. The last minute of the first half seems to be a problem one fo the Dolphins. Must be a mental lapse for the coaches and the team. We lead the Jets...and hope we can secure our a win.
Forum: Miami Dolphins Civilized Discussion

Well guys, the gimmee score changed momentum and the loss (again) of Howard put too many weak players on the field. What could have been our first win simply slipped away.... I will say the players are playing hard--that's a good thing, however, there's a lack of skilled players, and that's obvious. Next game we play the Jets. I hope we can take outscore them.
Forum: Miami Dolphins Civilized Discussion

Doing well overall, but the last defensive play with an all out blitz, was foolish mistake. TD for Steelers--that was a gimmee.
Forum: Miami Dolphins Civilized Discussion

Okay guys, the game is on National TV. With a group of players that must be tired of losing, perhaps all the talk of them tanking for TUA may make them super hungry for a win. Will it all come together for them tonight? The Steelers are struggling and probably are underestimating the Dolphins and expect to win easily. That could be a mistake. All and all, I hope it's a very competitive game.
Forum: Miami Dolphins Civilized Discussion

Today was not an exhibition of incapacity by the Dolphins (we play against the Steelers on MNF) but by the Jets today against the JAGs. I watched most of the game (except when I dozed off, here and there, during the game). The highlight for the Jets was the use of their TE, Griffin. He was quite good. Other than that, Sam Darnold has promise if and when he has time to throw, which he didn't t

Gentlemen: JC and I have given considerable leeway to those making comments about QBs. This season is a bust and frustration is extremely high, however, show some restraint and stop criticizing each other's opinions on Rosen, Fitzpatrick, Tua and who knows who else that might be high in the next NFL draft. One other very important point to make. The forum has dwindled down to nothing this se

Well, Fins you nailed it with you post. This next game with the Patriots may eclipse the JJ debacle of 62 points. Our defense can't stop their offense.
