Treasure, nothing stays the same. While it seems the team has been lost in space for 20 years, each iteration was different although the disappoint was the same. Our family's change too. Our eldest is almost 48 and our youngest is 37. They have their own family and it's grand just to get them all together once in a while. Those are memories being made too. The boys don't kid one another like they

Well, it seems like it took forever to get to the first game of the 2022 season. We appear to have a good group of players and a new coach. The best to all players, assistant coaches and our new HC. Game starts at 1pm. Go Dolphins! Beat the Patriots. Colonel

Well, tonight begins the 2022 NFL draft. I plan to watch it even though we have nothing to do with the first round selects this go round. There has to be some drama that may be entertaining. Who knows. (posted this in the other thread by accident)

Life will go on without many picks in the upcoming draft. We now have a very strong team on paper. Now, it all must gel so we can finally win our division in 2022. Go Dolphins.

There is often a discrepancy between "doing" and "teaching." Not all those that can really do something well can teach or mentor others to develop those skills. Similarly, one who excels at teaching may not be able to do what he describes to be done himself. With this group of former players on board to instruct, I suspect most will be able to provide worthwhile instr

TC-- Growing up in Queens I was active in PAL. My dad wasn't in law enforcement but had numerous detective friends that often came to our house to play cards and eat pizza. That was in the late '50s and early '60s. Our neighborhood, mostly Irish heritage, were baseball was king and Dads were tall NYPD cops.

I like Stafford and Burrows. Hard to pick sides in this one. Both have great arms.... Good luck to both teams. I will be satisfied to see a good ball game.

The only thing that matters is if McDaniels is organized, has a good head on his shoulders, is football smart, works well with others, is a strong motivator, and can hire assistant coaches with the same coaching qualities and traits for what they are hired to do. If this guy was from Mars or Planet X from another solar system, far far away, the only thing that matters is what I've suggested

Another "rookie" HC hiring. It is clearly a wonderful opportunity for this young coach and he will try to make the most of it. His limitations will be Grier and Ross on what he can and can't do or influence to get done. Will it be,"let's give the kid a chance but keep a close reign on what he does and thinks" or will it be "let this kid fly and see where he takes the team

Is all of what is being alleged possible? It sure is. Are the allegations difficult to prove--probably. Will this get to court and be tried? Probably. Will the Dolphins be a better team this coming 2022 season? Probably not. Will this scandalous black eye make it more difficult to land a competent HC that can hire good assistants? I think everyone knows that one--YES. Will loyal Dolphins fans b

Well, well. Tom Brady retires. The NFL and football fans will miss seeing him play. Amazing career. He goes out following a terrific last season. If you have to call it quits, that's the best way to do it--on a high note.

Connecting the dots means the Dolphins are (will be) hiring an offensive minded HC.

I can't see Aaron Rogers in a Dolphins uniform. He will go to a better, more organized franchise. Steelers!
Forum: Miami Dolphins Civilized Discussion

It appears that several important interviews are pending with the Dolphins. Daboll was already interviewed. None of the pending interviews include Harbaugh. Maybe he isn't coming to Miami after all despite Ross' love for him and Michigan.
Forum: Miami Dolphins Civilized Discussion

Illogical? That's seems to be Ross' pattern with the team. But to fans trying to connect the dots, Harbaugh will be the next Dolphins HC. But then again....Ross will consult the eight ball he must be using to make team decisions. LOL
Forum: Miami Dolphins Civilized Discussion

I have to laugh. All of this misdirection. Just saw an article which alluded to Harbaugh being interested in the Giants HC position. Okay. I am "interested" in a a 4-car garage. Guess what, neither are going to happen. What it does suggest, if anything, that for the right price, Harbaugh will leave Michigan and become an NFL HC. It he's got a nose for the money and loves big bucks,

"Monday, Monday--can't trust that day...." Flores is out and the hunt for a good, experienced head coach, is needed and hopefully going to happen (this time). Ask any Dolphins fan, and it becomes confusing just like it was with Lou Costello trying to get the names of the players on the baseball team from Bud Abbott. WHO is going to be our next head coach? I don't know....That stic
Forum: Miami Dolphins Civilized Discussion

I guess we'll never know the reasons (more than one) why Flores was fired. Common sense tells me it was the losing streak and blow out by the Titans that was the final straw. Yet, Ross seemed to imply that it was a personality conflict between the coach and the GM administration. Flores didn't play nice with Grier. Flores was too obstinate etc, etc. In my own experience, when superiors are on
Forum: Miami Dolphins Civilized Discussion

Just speculation--Ross was not happy with the losing streak and began to re-think the HC position. When the team finally won and stopped the losing streak he began to think otherwise each time the team won a game. With a play off berth looming ahead after such a dismal start, hopes were high if we could beat the Titans. During that debacle, whatever thoughts that were building during the losing s

Since Shula we've had 8 head coaches. The best after Shula was Jimmy Johnson followed by Dave Wannstedt. Then the list of failures is long. Saban, Cameron, Sparano, Philbin, Gase and now Flores. When we lose a HC position, assistant positions change when the newcomer brings his new staff of assistants. Offensive and defensive schemes change and winning over the current team membership becomes

Holy Crap Marie!!! Yep, something was going on following the game yesterday during the post game interview with Flores. He should have been exuberant over the win, beating the Patriots twice in one season. That is a major accomplishment. Now it all makes sense. He knew he was toast. The Merry-Go-Round continues. Now what? Is Chris Grier next. He should be, if Flores got *&^%-canned.
Forum: Miami Dolphins Civilized Discussion

I just watched a brief post season Q and A with Brian Flores. Damn, he should have been exuberant about the way the team responded following the trouncing by the Titans. He wasn't. He sounded like he lost his best friend, quiet, almost mumbling in his comments. His demeanor seemed a bit off to me considering the team beat the Patriots twice this season.

We are finally here. Most of us (if not all of us) are disappointed with the 2021 Dolphins season. We expected much more...perhaps 10 wins and a play off bound team. During that string of losses it was truly dismal to be a fan. Talking heads on TV pooh-poohed the team and then suddenly a win, then another and another. The team turned it around and our hopes rose again. Maybe we can squeak into th
