So the Miami Dolphins are tearing apart their opponents despite the mistakes that have been made and the flags that have been thrown. The team had to overcome so many penalty first down that kept Charger drives alive and Grant dropping the ball giving the Chargers possession at the 7 yard line, but they did it. The fans hadn't seen them overcome like they have done in this winning streak in many, many moons. This is a hungry team that finds a way to win were they used to fold.
The fins are a young team and I have to say coaching is bringing the youngsters along just fine. The team is maturing right before our eyes, and the older players have all bought in to the scheme and have become better leaders and a better locker room presence to the young players.
There's a new attitude in town and that's a resounding yes we can win attitude and that's a very dangerous thing for our opponents, and a great thing for us fans. Enjoy the games and cheer your team they are relevant and they are getting better every week.

Dear God your the biggest fair weather "fan" I've ever seen. I read your "blog" because I read everything posted under the Dolphins news/blogs/videos etc.. but man, you just can't seem to just take a line and go with it. Which is it? Are they good? Not good? Is tannehill the right QB? Or does he have to go? Like you've said so many times. This is a joke and your almost as bad as Omar. I'm calling you out on being an actual fan brother. Which is it? Excuses like Omar the hack about how he has to be "professional" and call it as he sees it which just means he's a scammer. I mean it. What are you? Are you going to decide one day to be behind our team 100% and admit that Tannehill has been and always has been a good QB? It's the toghest position in all of sports and all I've seen is a guy with more guts and toughness than Farve.
Bottom line is when you have an o line that works you will find ways to win games. He's not perfect, but none are. Even our God Marino was not perfect in many respects and tannehill is closer in a lot of stats that would amaze people if they actually knew the game. Even if they didn't anyone that's truly a fan would cheer him on like a gladiator as he takes hit after hit and pops back up, but oh my "he doesn't have pocket presence" that comes from people that have never even played other than Madden.
Just give us articles that we have something to cheer about. ( I'm not ranting about this particular piece either, I'm saying in general. You seem cordial enough, but how about being consistent and concentrating on being not only a good writer, but a fan because your not working for ESPN. Your just a guy/gal like the rest of us who put a little blog together, so go with it, but be a fan dude. That's what we want. That's what people want to read.
Gase and VJ seem to be getting so much more out of this team. I hope it continues. GO PHINS~!
Hi Drew,
Thanks for following the blog and commenting. We do appreciate it.
I am not sure if your critique of the post was directed at Mike or the blog in general. We do have 7 contributors to the bloground. So you may read some differences of opinions in our posts. Mike doesn't write them all.
And you are absolutely correct, to my knowledge, no contributors work for ESPN, we have other jobs. On a good day, I sell Real Estate.
Being a fan, doesn't necessarily demand a complete Rah Rah attitude. Loving something or someone doesn't mean you agree with everything about them nor does it mean that you don't recognize their flaws.
We encourage all opinions as long as they don't get too personal or too filthy.
Sometimes, people begin to see things differently. Sometimes, people change their minds. Perhaps it has happened to you.
I can tell you this: if I post a negative commentary about the team, we get more hits and more comments than when I post something rosey about the team. I guess people truly do like to stop and look at an accident.
All of us here, other than Grandma and Ray Finkle, put our names on the line. That takes some guts. Not enough for a Medal of Honor, but guts none the less.
You are cordially welcome to join us.
I am not too sure we will blow the Rams out. Albert's injury could effect the OL efficiency.
Hi drew, I write because I'm a fan, this is not my blog I just contribute. I criticise when I see problems and I praise when I see progress and good things, but I always cheer my team win or lose.

Mike, I agree with everything you wrote, however... have to side with Carl, the Rams defense is no pushover. They bend-but-don't-break better than the Dolphins and smother running backs. LeSean McCoy is the only back to go over one hundred yards against them.
The Rams' defense is vulnerable through the air, so Tanne-hype gets another chance to remove the hyphen, eh Carl!
