We need to score before the Half.

The Dolphins are running on 7 cylinders today overall, but the long pass and catch by Stills for a TD was special. The wall is too close to the field and could have caused injury to Stills. Dolphins need to get the TEs involved in the passing game. How many times do I have to say that.

Lousy play selection so far. C'mon Gase.
Forum: Miami Dolphins Civilized Discussion

This is going to be an interesting game. Gruden has found the Dolphins' weakness up the middle on pass plays. RT still needs to lead his WRs more on plays. Ball looked like it was behind Devante Parker.

A few minutes before start. Hot day. Go Dolphins!

Devante Parker's closest friend is Murphy, of Murphy's Law. If he can be side-lined, he will be! The Devante Rule is a corollary to Murphy's Law.
Forum: Miami Dolphins Civilized Discussion

Devante Parker has not been a "reliable" player because of all the injuries he's suffered that have side-lined him and this may be why he hasn't shown us much as a player. If the guy is really a competitor, and I wonder about that, he should be "chomping at the bit" to get back on the field...however, he's not let anyone know (including the media) if that's his attitude

Hmm. A young guy with dough...I hope he "retires" wisely, finds a fun job that suits him and can enjoy his time after football.

Those geniuses have little regard for the Dolphins and will not change their opinions until we start creaming other teams on a routine basis.

Fireman Ed--he's a fantastic Jet fan and is obviously a bit wacky. Jet fans have been so down and out for so many years that it has effected their mental state and physical appearance. They have had high aspirations every year to see those aspirations dashed repeatedly by lousy coaching, poor management, and questionable picks. Because they are in our division and we play them twice a year, it's

First place is a great place...in fact, it's the best place to be in universally. RT kept things going with his legs, a lot to be desired with the passing game game calling. Only 1 pass to a TE. We drafted TEs to use during the game as offensive tools, yet Gase seems to avoid including them in the game other than for blocking. Yes, we won this game but it was iffy for a while wasn't it. Th

This win is more important than expected because the Jags beat the Patsies.
Forum: Miami Dolphins Civilized Discussion

Play calling has been lame this 2nd half. Gase needs to give it to somebody, perhaps a fan in the stands to do. Unimpressed with his play calling ability.
Forum: Miami Dolphins Civilized Discussion

Howard...thank you. RT better thank him too. Great interception!
Forum: Miami Dolphins Civilized Discussion

Defense bent but stopped the Jets from scoring. Dolphins played pretty well overall and have a 20-0 halftime lead. Things are going far better than I expected. Keep it going.
Forum: Miami Dolphins Civilized Discussion

Nice throw...plenty of time for RT and budda bing...completion to a TE #85 Derby for a TD.
Forum: Miami Dolphins Civilized Discussion

Nice lead to Wilson who grabs the ball and high tails it to a TD. Very nice play. Good throw RT and great run Wilson.
Forum: Miami Dolphins Civilized Discussion

Larsen missed on that play and Tannehill sacked for #3. RT still lacking in pocket awareness, IMHO.
Forum: Miami Dolphins Civilized Discussion

Interception...TD run follows. We're up 7-0.
Forum: Miami Dolphins Civilized Discussion

My fingers are crossed for the team. Beat the Jets.
Forum: Miami Dolphins Civilized Discussion

We can be pessimistic, optimistic, or somewhere in between...realistic. Ted Larsen appears to be an average lineman. He's started many times during his career, but it doesn't look like he can fill the shoes of Sitton who was a pro-bowler. If Larsen can do the guard job well, say 90 percent of the time, Tannehill will do okay and not be sacked from a weak guard position. This is my optimistic vie

Dolphins versus Jets--our 2nd game of the 2018 season. Darnold looked quite capable this past Sunday for the Jets. Hopefully our pass rush and defense can take some of the starch out of him this coming Sunday. Offensively, we need to use our tight ends to move the chains and to put the Jets' CBs at a disadvantage in the red zone. Besicki and Smythe are both 6'6" tall and capable of grab
Forum: Miami Dolphins Civilized Discussion

Decided to tune into MNF to watch the hapless Jets play Detroit. Well...Darnold is a QB. Matthew Stafford should of stayed in bed as his team was miserable and helped him throw 4 interceptions....The Lions front line is horrendous making the Jets look like a SB team defensively. Patricia, the Lions' HC has a big job ahead of him. No more Patriots culture to work with but a Lions' culture th

What a screwy day for Dolphins' football. I'm beginning to think the first two games should be away games as a means of avoiding early September South Florida weather. The NFL, not the Dolphins' determine when it's safe or unsafe to play. However, one must wonder why there is no "roof" so T-storms would not adversely effect play. I too don't take too much away from the first victo

Parker has not exhibited any special catching ability that I've noticed since joining the Dolphins. Injuries if real and as serious as alleged continue from one season to another. He may have been a star at the college level but must be considered a bust at the NFL level. Since I have no say with the Dolphins (LOL) it appears the brain trust comprising the front office and coaches still have a ho
Forum: Miami Dolphins Civilized Discussion

Could it be that Devante Parker is "afraid" to play at the NFL level and is feigning most medical issues? It makes me wonder about it. Hmmm.
Forum: Miami Dolphins Civilized Discussion

After watching pre-season scrimmages, I'm not sure that there was sufficient time for either of the "backups" to show what they can really do with the first team players on offense. Besides, with RT's post injury wheels, this just may be insurance for the team to have players involved with the team day in and day out versus having one of them or both eating chips at home when they get a
Forum: Miami Dolphins Civilized Discussion

It is going to be tough to make cuts to get to 53. This game is mucking up what was happening during the first 3 pre-season games. Now, some "wannabes" look like starters playing against the 2nd and 3rd stringer hopefuls of the Falcons. Ballange looks like a keeper. The offensive line is playing well too. Also, noted, lots of energy on the Dolphins's side of the field--that i

The first thing a good coach does is train players to execute with precision. Doing this curtails stupid penalties. There was a time when the Dolphins were the least penalized team in the league. It didn't just happen. Gase has yet to overcome this malady.
