Brady Bunch Week in Miami

Let's go ahead and give a nasty welcome party to the Pats, yes they took the division but they need this game to clinch home field advantage through out the playoffs. The Fins are hurting from injuries, but won't give up and the coach has expressed that we play to win and this week...

Dolphins 10-5 Despite Missing About Half Of Presumed Starters

   If you think about all the changes to our starting line-up since the pre-season, both on offense and defense and not just injuries but also poor performance, it becomes clear how great coaching has been. Coaches have done so much more than just coach games they installed...

Happy New Year, Dolphins: Or, How A Curse Ends (and Joy Returns)

    You all smelled  it.  The inevitable stench of failure coming our way.  Mike Gillislee churning out yards. Charles Clay catching big first downs and touchdowns.  It was the way it always happens.  The Dolphins lose in the clutch, and lose to...

The Dolphins Magic Continues!!

I am still buzzing. And not from drinking. Although, Saturday's game against the Bills could very easily cause me to drink. And heavily. There were way too many turn of events and emotions for me to enjoy that game. From blowing a 14 point lead late in the third period and falling...

Watch What You Wish For....

It just may come true. With only two weeks left we control our own destiny. The good thing is its very exciting to be in this position. Especially after starting the season 1-4. The bad thing is we are in this position and now I am nervous as all hell about having to go into Buffalo...

Some Dolphins Thoughts...

The first thing I wanna say is it is a fantastic feeling to sweep the Jets. They truly got their asses handed to them. I have said it once and I'll say it again, With all the injuries at key positions this season, it is truly amazing what this coaching staff is doing with the so...

Matt Moore: Clutch Since Day One

    I am more bummed out about Ryan Tannehill's injury than anyone other than David Appollos.  But persist we must.  Win, we must.  It's Jets week.  So I want to send a bit of sunshine into the lives of Dolphins nation by recalling an early experience...

How 2002 Wrecked the Dolphins (and what this team can do about it)

     In the next three games, the Dolphins will face Jacksonville, Houston, and Tennessee to determine our post-season fate.  We won't, of course:  we'll be on the road in two cold weather stadiums with drunken, hostile, obnoxious fan bases and frozen, crappy...

Nfl Officiating - Part 2

Went to the archives after reading Carl's story about the quality of the officiating in Miami Dolphins games this season. On the face of it, the calls even out at 104 - 103. Dolphins opponents were assessed 755 penalty yards, opposed to 981 penalty yards against the Dolphins. Not...

What Is With The Officiating In The NFL?

This was truly another crazy Dolphins game. Two teams combining for 5 turnovers and that was only in the first quarter. Rain and rain and rain didn't help. Field goal hits the upright and bounces out. Another hits the crossbar and bounces in. A blocked extra point...

Dolphin Keep Delivering The Goods

   The worst start turned into a heck of a season, personally I feel so good about the Fins and the direction and culture change that I'm drunk of excitement for our team with their first winning season and playoff birth since 2008.    I'm thinking what if Pouncey,...

Dolphins Loss Hurts, But It's Not All Lost.

Ok, so we are back to looking in from the outside at the play-offs, We're experiencing that same feeling that makes us sick to our stomach thanks to a Ravens team that absolutely brought down the house of Dolphins dreams and hopes for this season's play-offs, not that it can't happen,...

Jones Injury Exploited.

     The Dolphins winning streak was impressive.  Brought about by heart and solid schemes, the Dolphins out-performed our talent for a few weeks this year, and that was fun. In Baltimore, we ran into a playoff team and got its full attention.  The truth...

SPANKED!

Can't finish drives. Miss a FG. 2 INTs in Red Zone. And that was early in the game. More to follow. Too many offensive penalties, Too many missed coverages and tackles. The true insult to injury is their back up QB comes in with over 9 minutes left. That's how bad we got beat. Fortunately,...

Already Out of Control...

And there's no excuse for it. The defense is playing about as terribly as they have all year. If the Ravens are on third down, it's ABOUT to be first down. You can take that to the bank. This is ABSOLUTELY pathetic and they better make some amazing half-time adjustments because this...

These Miami Dolphins...

So the Miami Dolphins are on a 6 game winning streak and are currently in the 6th and final spot for a wild card if the season ended today. Ryan Tannehill has been playing lights out as of late with something like a 9/1 TD to INT ratio during this win streak. I for one was wrong....

Tannehill must proof he can get the Dolphins to the play-offs.

    Tannehill is maturing and showing development in his fifth year as the Miami Dolphins QB. It is clear he's playing the best football of his career under rookie head coach Adam Gase, who apparently really is the QB whisperer. It isn't just that he's playing better...

Can The Dolphins Win At Baltimore?

   The Baltimore Ravens seem to always have our number, sometimes it's a close game sometimes it's not, but going back to our last play-off appearance witch was in 2008 against the Ravens the Dolphins have not done well against them. Yes, they have a 6-5 record and are...

Ryan Tannehill is the Dolphins Most Valuable Commodity

Dolphins Becoming Escape Artists

I am dying to find out what Nadomican Suh told Colin Kaepernick at the end of the game after almost snapping his back in half. I wonder if it was Anthem related. Two weeks in a row for nail biting victories. I am already balding but this one cost me a bunch of what little I have...

So Much For The Health Of O-line.

The problem with the O-line is still the same, they just can't stay healthy. When the starters play they are unstoppable, I'm sure if the line played all 16 games together we are a play-off caliber team, but if more than 1 of those guys is out injured, we're going to struggle. 2...

Maybe the Most Important Win Yet

Yesterday was not pretty. 54 minutes of uselessness before the Dolphins finally woke up, but it was exactly what they needed when they needed it most, and it came from Ryan Tannehill! I have always been a supporter of his, but the Cinci game was when I really started to wonder if...

WOW! What A Crazy Win To Keep Division Championship Chances Alive.

I was sitting at the local watering hole in Jersey, watching us running a sominex offense. And just shaking my head for 54 minutes of this game. I knew it was going to be tough enough to score with Albert and Pouncey out against a stout Rams defense. And when Tunsil left the game,...

The Real Reason Ratings are Down

    The average NFL play lasts 6-7 seconds from snap to whistle.  The average NFL offense runs about 65 plays per game (though Miami was last, running 56.9 last year- figures, right?)  The quick math types out there will already see where this is heading: the...

Is Tannehill The Man In Miami

Someone called me out on Tannehill, I had lost faith in him, I didn't see him as a good QB in my honest opinion I believed the last couple drafts we should have drafted one QB early and give a fresh kid a chance to knock Tannehill off or not, the competition would have made them...

The Dolphins To Roll Over The Rams.

Job One Complete: Gase has Gotten the Locker Room Right.

    This was a win we were not supposed to get.  The Dolphins were playing a talented opponent on the road.  That opponent was essentially in an elimination game. And the referees were partial, in my view, bailing out the Chargers on numerous third and longs on...

A Huge Win For The Program!

Defense! Defense! Defense! Wow! 4 interceptions in the 4th quarter says it all. The refs tried to take it away but Kiko Alonso took it to the house instead. After ticky tackling us to death with so many bull shit defensive holding calls, how the hell do they not call defensive...

Defense Is Doing It

Much of the media hoopla about the Dolphins focuses on RB Jay Ajayi and the offensive line. Less noticed is the Dolphins defense, who are greatly benefiting by the resurgence of the running game. The D no longer has to play almost three-fourths of a game because of offensive ineptitude....

It Ain't Pretty....But I'll Take It!

In a game when Ryan Tanne-Hype was supposed to take advantage of a dismal Jets pass defense, it was a second chance Kick Off return that was the highlight of the day. Not to discredit an improved defense even though they gave up plenty of penalty yardage to allow the Jets to extend...

Is It Sustainable?

Yes, we are all happy that we can run the ball and have won two in a row, but the question is can this vicious run game continue to be successful or will defenses figure out how to stop it or will the O-line falter and not stay healthy given the extra effort they put out to win the...

Jets Week.

 -In this run heavy offense the Phins will need Williams or Drake to take a step forward. Signing Rambo will reduce one of these RBs special teams snaps which will lead to a more expanded role on offense. I really hope it's Drake, he is just the kind of lightning to go with...

An important moment for Gase

Everyone is so excited about the Dolphins resurgent running game. So am I, as good running teams tend to display the physicality that is necessary for winning football.  The Dolphins can now be a balanced football team, but if anyone believes that 200 yard rushing games or...

STOP IT! Tannehill is not a "Game Manager"

     I am so sick of hearing Orlando, Omar and all the other pseudo-expert "know-it-alls" tell me that Ryan Tannehill is "just a game manager."  Bull you know what!  Game managers can't throw the ball on the run to their non-throwing side of the field,...

Dolphins To Take Advantage Of Todays Fast defenses

   As it has became a passing league, a faster style defense came to be in order to keep up with fast WR, TE and a lighter faster RB coming out of the back field. Seems like that has made it more difficult to defend against a real bruising back. I mean a DB that's faced...

it Looks Like It's Coming Together For The Dolphins.

What a turn around for the Dolphins, it feels like it's all  coming together nicely for our loved team. The last two weeks have been really special, I hadn't smiled much watching them play in recent games, but I did the last couple weeks. We finally have our starting O line...

Credit to Gase for Bringing Out the Best in Ajayi

Who Are Those Face Masked Men

It must be close to Holloween. Pretty soon there will be plenty of Trick or Treaters and Partyers alike, doning costumes and masks, making them completely unrecognizable. That I expect this time of year, every year. No surprises there. But these past two games have left me curious...

Dion Sims will be missed

Stunning victory for Dolphins.

The game was amazing, I was stunned, the Steelers were shocked. Talk about a trap game for a perennial contender with a pretty dam good QB. The defense played well, pressure was there so the corners weren't exposed and they played well, both Lippett and Maxwell had a good day in...

What A Difference With The OL Back

I thought perhaps the Dolphins and Steelers traded uniforms. We played smash mouth football by pounding the run game down their throats, hitting open receivers, moving the chains, eating up the time of possession and finally playing tough as nails defense. Going into the 4th quarter,...

Big Test For Tanne-Hype

Well Ryan Tanne-Hype should have no excuses as it looks like the entire starting OL will be assembled and ready to go against Pittsburg. Granted, he had been running for his life the past few weeks with an OL comprised of enough cast aways to star along side Tom Hanks. With Albert,...

Not all is Tanne's fault

I say this there's a lot of problems on the team and that's obvious right now, Tannehill is an average QB maybe a little less or a little more than average. He seems have not idea where the pressure is coming from I see pass rush go almost directly at him and he doesn't see them...

Mike Tannenbaum, Football Genius.

So much for expectations.

All I can really say is WOW, I thought I was being realistic when setting expectation for the fins. I figured a 7 or 8 win team is what we would put on the field. That would be ok if we show direction and excitement with competitive close games. Anyway some of you if not all where...

Gase Missed A Chance To Overturn An Interception

Here is a learning experience for Adam Gase, With 12 minutes left in the 3rd period, Tannehill threw a pass over the middle to Parker. Parker grabs it from behind and as he pulls it to his chest, Titans Jason McCurdy tries to grab it from him. Both Parker and Jason McCurdy have...

Tannehill...WTF?

Fans chanted "we want Moore!" - which could either refer to Matt or could just be a call for more offense in a game. Afterward, Gase was asked about it and specifically if he had any plans to bench Benny Hill. Of course he said something like "he's our guy, and we're sticking...
