Best wishes to all of you on this special day.

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. Luke Kuechly, the retired 8 time pro-bowl linebacker

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.

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

SamSam--you're really irritating. Do you want to be suspended from the position on the board? Keep pressing your luck and find out. Colonel

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

Okay SamSam--TC--time to cut the crap. Move on.

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

How low can you go? Chubby Checker Today's chilly day brings us two teams struggling (to say the least) and the game is set for 1pm. The throwing game will be hampered (in my opinion) by the wind (it's gusty here) so the ground game may be the only way the ball can be moved down the field. We shall see. Make it a fun day Dolphins. Win this one for the fans. We need to smile. Colonel

Will Fuller is a bust. Preston Williams not too far behind. What about signing Odell Beckham Jr? We know he performs. He could be just what we need to make the passing game a threat.

Watched the Jets and Colts game last evening and have empathy for Jets fans. They are under trained and coached like our Dolphins. Then compare these two teams to the Lions who have yet to win a game. These three times are clearly bottom of the barrel. Aside from terrible records, they do have a lot more in common. Dan Campbell (Lions HC) was a member of the Dolphins coaching staff and was br

I usually know well ahead of time what team the Dolphins will play but today, for the life of me, could not remember what team the Dolphins would be playing this coming Sunday. Ah, I thought, the Texans and then realized they have the same horrific record that we have: 1-7. "Holy crap Marie." Will these teams both bumble through 4 quarters trying to outdo one another in the mistake lo

Socalphin--please tell us what you really think. I am still laughing....Ross reminds me of the wannabe hotrod, gear head. You know the guy that wants a fast, cool hotrod but has no knowledge of heads, porting, cams, and ignition et al. However, his desire to own one of these cool, fast hotrods burns in his gut. So, with money saved, the wannabe goes out and spends a bundle on a cool hotrod bu

I hate to dump on Tua because I think he is a gentleman, however, he is showing minuscule improvement it seems. A designated leader can't lead if knowledge and know-how are lacking. Speaking in post game interviews shows a maturity and confidence that fails to show up on the field during a game. I am not overly concerned with an errant pass that is intercepted; it happens to the very best

Dolphan4545--Yes, what you've pointed out is mind blowing. Gesicki trying to get a WR in the right location for a play and looking like a boob when Tua calls for the ball and it hits Gesicki. Pay attention much (Tua)? Coaching is falling way short. I've mentioned the words training, coaching and mentoring before. While all NFL players played at some level in college, they received some

The final score Bills 26, Dolphins 11. It was an unexciting game. The Dolphins D gave the impression they were stepping up their play, however, my impression was that the Bills offense was a bit flat coming off a bye-week. Our offense struggled to run or to pass the ball. Parker caught quite a few passes and that was good to see. Offensive player location was confusing for Waddle and Gesi
Forum: Miami Dolphins Civilized Discussion

My long time buddy called me at the half and said the Dolphins look like the Keystone Cops. Waddle didn't know where to go. Kesicki was showing him and boom gets hit with the ball on the hike. What was Tua thinking. Doesn't he have peripheral vision? Yup, Keystone Cops--so far. Got to do better in the thinking department.

Happy Halloween everyone--enjoy the day and tonight's trick or treaters. (Always fun at our house.) On to business: The Dolphins face the very formidable Bills this afternoon. This is going to be a big uphill battle for the defense. Josh Allen and his receivers have it together and it will be tough trying to cover the routes their receivers run. Hopefully, Allen becomes too confident and thro

Between the ownership and other executives (I will call them that) allowing rumors to start by leaking information to others can't be helped in today's world of sports. Remember the nonsense with Sparano and how the ownership played him and treated him. This is the same ownership although there are different executives advising today. It would have been better to tell Tua, something lik
