We are doing pretty well compared to the past two weeks. Very pleased to see how things are coming together. As the half expires, we are up 21-7.

Don't worry about Fitz. He's on a roll. Tossed a nice pass for 6 to Gesicki. Cool Offense is doing fine: D is struggling.

Two excellent drives so far. Outstanding. We're out in front looking coordinated. Great!!!!!

It's already Wednesday and I'm thinking about the adjustments needed to improve the secondary. The big question is how the coaches will play Howard since B. Jones is out. Will McCain play a different role? The second defensive issue pertains to the D line and how they can mount more QB pressure. What defensive scheme will allow them to get more QB sacks? There have only been 2 sack in 2 games

Fitzpatrick did enough for us to win. Williams had a catch in the end zone for a TD and dropped it--right through his hands. No, it's not the QB play at the moment. It's the secondary that is grossly deficient followed by an inadequate pass rush. 524 yards of Bills total offense. 400 yards of catch and run.

IMO, the step or two off or out of synch, is probably attributable to being uncomfortable with themselves in what they can do or can't do, and that falls under confidence. If they think they can't cover 1 on 1, then they won't do well. If they aren't mentally on the same approach to defense as their coach has laid out, that too is a confidence problem with the coaches game plan. Having trust in t

The secondary, supposed to be good, maybe good, but they still look pretty rag-tag to me Allen was laying the ball just right and his receivers were getting space to catch the ball. Weak coverage. Plenty of work needed to get our secondary players in the game mentally. They appear to be a step or two off...could be a lack of playing time, general experience and lack of confidence to be more fl

Nice drive foiled. Nice drive again and Howard gets it in for 6. Dolphins take the lead. Things are beginning to gel.

Sanders kicks a 52 yard field goal as we go into half-time. Let's hope adjustments are made offensively and defensively so we can be competitive. We are still in the game....

Coverage watching now by me. That's the only coverage worth mentioning as the Dolphins can't seem to cover receivers. Defensive play is haphazard, very uncoordinated effort IMO. I know it's still early in the season but golly these guys up front don't seem to be with the program, offense or defense. Maybe better and some adjustments at half time. Maybe....

Still no TV coverage at 2pm. Score is Bills 14, Miami 7.

Bills score. Listening to radio coverage.

The CBS coverage is not able to stay with the man to man either. HA HA. Watching Denver and Pittsburgh right now. Get your act together CBS!

Man to man coverage isn't able to stay with Bills' receivers. They march down the long field to score.

Good punt. Pinned the Bills back. Long way to score.

Game #2 of the 2020 season will be played in South Florida as our Dolphins host the Bills at 1 pm. There's been a week to recover from last week's miscues and to try and get both the defense and offense to synchronize. Lots of young talent and rookies to watch and hopefully things will begin to gel making the Bills game exciting to watch. I will tune in as I did last Sunday and will post a l

Okay...finally got to see the 1-hour film on Tua. IMO, it was worthwhile seeing. What is very important, from my perspective, is family. Tua comes from a very proud Samoan family. His grandfather had an amazing impact on Tua's Dad and on his grandson. Achievement was drilled into Tua's head at an early age along with kindness and love from both his grandfather and father. He received love from al

Below is not a political statement. It's simply a feeling that I had while in the military that I will share. While serving in the military, my wife and I raised two boys. They got to experience the influence of military good order and discipline because they saw it everyday.

Child-like behavior defeats team unity on the field. It produces outcasts, and doubt about everyone pulling together for the common goal and good. In Baker's case, his pursuit was great but his last second effort wasn't right. He needs to keep that in check. Taunting crap between opposing players encourages stupid acts that can and will hurt the team's progress. They need to be smarter ab

JC is right. There are many things that cause most of us to be upset about social activities around the country. I personally could write a book about it, but not here on this forum. We must abide by the rules of engagement and stick to commentary about the actual play on the field, which at the moment, leaves a lot to be desired. However, things will improve and the players will synchronize thei

This Sunday at 1 pm eastern, Miami confronts a Brady less team in it's 1st game of 2020. I plan to tune in despite not watching the Texans and Chief's game this past Thursday night.

More often than not the media has fallen in love with a player just to find out that they were overzealous in their commentary. I too have doubts about Tua's play in the NFL. Playing time will eventually prove or disprove what kind of force we have at QB. In the meantime, we skeptics just have to wait and see while we watch Fitzpatrick and the new offensive perform. Be patient "grasshoppers.

Will check it out. Just looked at the 53-man roster and thought, wow, a bunch of new, and I mean new, players. Got to study again to know who's who. Football, like so many other things seems to be just a memory. 2020 has been a bust because of COVID-19. Hope life gets back on track for all of us soon.

Why is the front office playing Russian Roulette with Rosen? I find the premise foolhardy. I am thinking there is something about Rosen that is not being revealed. A third QB--who are the Dolphins going to bring in? There will be somebody.
