I'm sorry for your loss Colonel. When we get into our 60s and 70s it's unfortunately not uncommon to start losing our really close friends and family members. The alternative is even worse. The reason for drafting Waddle was that he and Tua already had chemistry and it is obviously working but, I'm concerned that defenses are keying on Waddle and that eventually he will get hurt. It must be a

Absolutely embarrassing offense. 3 points against a team missing 22 starters? O-line is pathetic.
Forum: Miami Dolphins Civilized Discussion

I don't want to sound like a Debbie Downer but, the SuperDome, or whatever they call it these days, is loud and intimidating. This may be the toughest game of the 3 we have left. I'm not worried about the defense but, I sure hope the coaches have the o-line boys brushed up on the silent snap count. Jumping out to an early lead will quiet the crowd.

If we win tomorrow we might very well be the #7 seed and be 100% in control of our own destiny. Wouldn't it be sweet to knock the Pats out of the play-offs in week 18?
Forum: Miami Dolphins Civilized Discussion

Looking good if we can pull out a win tomorrow. Chargers and Ravens both lost. Now we'll be rooting for Denver to beat the Raiders.
Forum: Miami Dolphins Civilized Discussion

I'll be rooting for a tie.
Forum: Miami Dolphins Civilized Discussion

We'll be in much better shape cap wise next season. If you're planning ahead two years then I would suggest, as I did last season, to trade X Howard while he has mega value and replace him with younger and cheaper. In two years, the drafted stud center will be taking over for the veteran. You're right though, it must be done intelligently. BTW, where' Sam? Sure hope he didn't lose an argument to
Forum: Miami Dolphins Civilized Discussion

It would be great to sign a veteran center to anchor the line and draft a stud center to develop. Draft a big fast RB.
Forum: Miami Dolphins Civilized Discussion

Nice to find a running game hiding on the practice squad. I know it was against the Jest but, honing your skills by beating up on a bad team is a legitimate strategy. It's like when we were young studs finding our footing in the dating game, when you had some new lines to try out, you practice on the ugly ones. Go Phins.

Defense is finally getting traction.

Gaskins and Ahmed have cleared the new NFL Covid protocol and have returned to practice. Hopefully Holland and Waddle are close behind.
Forum: Miami Dolphins Civilized Discussion

Evidently the NFL has announced an adjustment to the Covid testing protocol out of concern that the season and play-offs may be in jeopardy. Evidently vaccinated players and staff will be able to return to duties after 2 consecutive negative tests without having to go through the 10 day isolation period. Previously the tests were spaced 24 hours apart but, that requirement may also have been waiv

Waddle now on Covid list and may not be able to play Sunday. If the Covid spreads through the WR room then we may have a problem fielding a team. Looks like everybody went home for Thanksgiving dinner.
Forum: Miami Dolphins Civilized Discussion

That reminds me,, we have a gentlemen's wager regarding a couple of rookie QBs and something about division titles. Like taking candy from a baby or, more like donuts from a cop.

I think you mean Jevon Holland our rookie safety.
Forum: Miami Dolphins Civilized Discussion

Ex Dolphin Lamar Miller was in for a workout to see if there was anything left in the tank. Chances are there's not much left but, wouldn't that be a feel good story if he can contribute and retire a Dolphin.
Forum: Miami Dolphins Civilized Discussion

I'm sure you guys watched the Pats/Barfalo game last night. The Pats are so good they didn't even need a QB to beat the Bills. Scary.
Forum: Miami Dolphins Civilized Discussion

Hope Waddle is OK.
Forum: Miami Dolphins Civilized Discussion

Well, it's not a dominating performance,,, yet.
Forum: Miami Dolphins Civilized Discussion

The "P" is highly unlikely without winning out but, most of those games are very winnable. Two games at home against the Giants and the Jest, one game at New Orleans who are playing their 3rd string QB. Then another away game against El Petardo Mojado and the fading Titans. Get that far and the last game against NE will have a SB feel to it. That game might be worth going to see live.
Forum: Miami Dolphins Civilized Discussion

The play calling has certainly been more creative the past 3 or 4 weeks. I have no idea why that is. Maybe someone else is calling the plays now. At one time it was the QB coach, no idea who it is now. The organization is agonizingly tight lipped about what's going on, maybe Tua's problems mastering the playbook carried over to this year and they were only able to get aggressive recently.
Forum: Miami Dolphins Civilized Discussion

You're probably right. Locker room chemistry is a big part of winning in the NFL. I think the boys finally found their mojo.
Forum: Miami Dolphins Civilized Discussion

Playing the jest shouldn't have been such a nailbiter.
Forum: Miami Dolphins Civilized Discussion

Strange game, had to have been a fluke. All those safety blitzes is something you usually throw at rookie QBs, not seasoned veterans. Obviously they were not taking Miami seriously and weren't prepared. They made some halftime adjustments but, seeing Tua entering the game also must have caught them off guard as they were prepared for Brissket. If that was Flores' strategy then the man is a genius
Forum: Miami Dolphins Civilized Discussion

Sweet.
Forum: Miami Dolphins Civilized Discussion

We're a 7 1/2 point underdog at home. I don't think Miami will be wearing the throw-backs but, I think Treasure Coast is at the game, Brissett is playing and the defense had a bit of swagger last game so, I'm calling it an upset in the making, just like the Jaguars over Barfalo last weekend. Stranger things have happened.

Bills lost to the Jags. Patriots are only 1/2 game out of 1st.

Miami only has about 1.5 million in cap space left besides, Detroit will likely have first shot depending on the results of this weekend's games.
