Wish I had something positive to say... Best sandlot football I've seen in a long time. That says it all. We are behind now 14-7; took less than 90 seconds for two scores.

Terrible officiating. Bad calls, even though we benefitted. It is still wrong. Officials need to regroup and start looking at what's going on--not assuming one way or the other.

Agree Fins72-- With the subpar play of our interior linemen (guards) neither pass or running plays can be very productive or consistent. Face it, we have a real problem at guard and it will be seen again tonight during the Texans game. If there's a top notch QB prospect in the next NFL draft, we should carefully consider whether it is time to make a pick. Otherwise, the Dolphins need to do

Yeah, I took liberty with the subject title. The Texans are all full of fight and we'll have to play the "rope a dope" and get real lucky to win this one. As far as I can tell we are battered, bruised and without a good HC who can do little but hide his eyes under his cap. The Dolphins are showing up for another Nationally televised game and my fingers are crossed that the team does en

I'm not going to change allegiances. I've been a fan since the beginning and became a rabid fan when Shula arrived. I'm just terribly frustrated at the big hole we're in. Ugh!
Forum: Miami Dolphins Civilized Discussion

Fins72 you're are just as ticked off and frustrated as I am over the continual lackluster performance of this team. It goes from week-to-week, season to season, with little hope of improvement because of feeble ownership, inept upper management, lousy coaching and questionable draft and free agent picks. There is some talent on the team and from time to time things come together. Like a blin

Yes, that's the scenario during the Dolphins' first possession. Leading up to this: First down: Gore run between LT and LG. Stopped. Second down: Defender breaches line between C and RG. Sack of QB Now with 16 yards to achieve a 1st down, the call is a run on the left side that gains only a few yards. Dolphins punt on 4th down. What was the likelihood that a running play would

Crystal balls still unavailable ten years ago...lousy choices made on talent continues to prevail today for the same reason. Jamar Fletcher should have been a player and turned out to be a bust. One of many players like this landed on the Dolphins that proves selecting good players is a "pig in a poke." Everybody knows that what takes place for a player at the college level doesn't alw

Another losing effort. We lost more than a game today...we lost several players to injuries...you watch and see who suits up for Thursday night's ball game. (Don't expect to see Devante Parker our weekly bench sitter.) Houston Texans are up next and will enjoy watching our porous defense preparing for us. LB play stinks, O-line play isn't a tad better. Boy oh boy are we in for it now. We'
Forum: Miami Dolphins Civilized Discussion

Porous defense again this week. Inconsistent is the key word. I have to wonder if its weak talent or bad defensive calls. Alonzo may be the lead tackler on the team but he still can't cover anyone running a pass route. We are going to lose this game.... It's the beginning of the 4th and we are down. Lions keep marching down the field. Their receivers look great.

Great block from TE O'Leary opens up hole for great run and TD.
Forum: Miami Dolphins Civilized Discussion

What a lackluster effort in the first half. Watching Cameron Wake: He seems to have lost a step or two and is getting manhandled by the Lions' RT. Defensive line is being outplayed and our LBs are out of sync. They are making many mental mistakes. Coverage is lacking badly. Offensively we are not calling good plays. Our plays are too obvious and poorly executed. More use of TEs is n

Big hit on the unsuspecting security guard. Hope she is okay. The hit also hurt Stills. Glad we scored but allowing too much on defense. Since when do Lions run the ball well? Against us! C'mon LBs.
Forum: Miami Dolphins Civilized Discussion

Play calling is terrible. A run play on 3rd and 10? Really? Frank Gore is exceptional but no magical. C'mon Gase. Use those TEs.
Forum: Miami Dolphins Civilized Discussion

The team looks sluggish to me thus far. Both offense and defense. They need to pick it up or Stafford will score again.

When I think of Devante Parker I can visualize a player covered in little bandaids from head to toe. Comical perhaps, but his injuries continue to plague him. As a result he has little value to the team. Many fans think he's a bust. I'm one of them. If we can trade him for something of value, that would be better than keeping him as dead weight on the roster. IMO his time as a NFL player is com

The Lions will play outdoors today in the Florida sunshine. Watch them welt. We can beat these guys provided all our players do their job and execute without penalties. Osweiler has a chance to prove himself again--this time the opponent knows he will be the QB. Let's get the TEs involved a little more and run the ball at these guys. Hoping for another fun, thrilling game and a big vic

Most of us are skeptics today because of the past decade of failures. Whether it was management, coaching, draft and players issues and injuries. We all expect the other shoe to drop because it has done so, so often. Had the team been competitive against the Patsies, there might have been more optimism and enjoyment for the fans with the past overtime win. For me the game kept me on the seat o

Emotions running wild with this game. Up, down, sideways...I'm thrilled the team pulled out a victory. It was a battle. The Florida weather plays a role in this win, just like the guts of Gore, the speed of Wilson and the decent play of the o-line. Osweiler rose in QB status today for me, he did a fine job. Kudos to him. A definite, "well done."
