OK, so this week will be the first, and hopefully the last article called “Mikey Says” Unfortunately, I only got one question this week (Thanks Wyo!). What I then decided to do, was just give my impression of our first effort against the Redskins, and a little preview and some advice of what we need to improve on in that game.
First off though, let’s answer the question that was asked, he certainly deserves that much!
from Wyo
Q – Now that Lynch got STUFFED for a loss to seal the LOSS for the water chickens!
Can we finally quit hearing about “If they would have run Lynch they would have won the SB”?
For the Fins There seems to be a lot of Folks that must have drank the Kool-Aid?
But it’s not the usual Kool-Aid Swillers! It’s the negative Nellie’s!
Did everyone not realize our LB’s were the weak spot of the team?
That our line hadn’t had time to work together and there would be growing pains?
Nah, I still think the Seahawks should have run the ball, you go with what brung ya, and that’s what got the Seahawks to the big game game. It’s not like we were asking them to run from the 5 yard line, they were at the 1, so let Marshawn finish the tired, underinflated Patriots defense off and give Pete the Weasel the trophy.
As for the Dolphins, yes the LB’s aren’t great, but I did expect a lot more from them. Sheppard was non-existent, and although Misi and Jenkins were better, still nary an impact play from that group.
As for the O-line, I don’t want any damn excuses that they haven’t worked together. How did Washington’s O-line with RT Morgan Moses who is a new starter, RG rookie Brandon Scherff, newly acquired C from SF Kory Lichtensteiger, newly acquired LG from CLE Shawn Lauvao and pro bowl LT Trent Williams keep our vaunted D-line off of Kirk Cousins? Look at the Redskins D-line of LE Stephen Paea, NT Terrance Knighton, RE Jason Hatcher, and tell me which D-line would you rather block? We managed one paltry sack against the Redskins newly put together O-line, and it was rookie Jordan Phillips, not “Everything is different, Suh is here”, or Earl Mitchell, Vernon or the great EarthWake. Honestly, there are no excuses. This is what we chose to go with, and we will either be good or bad with it.
Thanks for participating as per usghe Wyo!
_____________________________________________
OK, now for some scathing commentary on our 2015 Miami Dolphins . . .
So a bunch of cut blocking no name Washington Redskins O-linemen neutralized the best D-line in football? WTF! Seriously? We’re OK with this? I’m not OK with it at all. That unit better show a helluva lot more than what they showed Week 1 against the Redskins. No run stopping, blowing up running plays in the backfield. No sacks, nothing! If it weren’t for rookie Jordan Phillips busting through, we wouldn’t have had a sack against WAS, and don’t tell me one was brought back due to penalty! WahWah!
I’m shocked how bad Sheppard was. This is last chance at ever being s starting MLB in the NFL, and he goes out there and makes 3 tackles and 2 assists, while the Redskins have 37 rush attempts, for 151 yards. That’s embarrassing. Was he spectating? Is he a big fan of Zach Vigil, and he’s trying to give him a leg up? Misi and Jenkins were better with 9 tackles, 2 assists and 7 tackles 4 assists respectively.
Ndamukong Suh? How many snaps did he play? I saw him in there an awful lot, but I don’t have an official snap count, but 1 tackle, 1 assist. He’s not Tim Bowens trying to eat up 2 blockers, he’s a penetrating beast that eats RB’s in the backfield, and drags down QB’s by their locks, but not Sunday. I think Suh was spectating along Sheppard, or maybe he’s a big fan of Jordan Phillips, and wants to see more of him.
OK, enough of the bad, let’s take a look at some of the good!
Jarvis Landry is the man, and I couldn’t have been more wrong with my criticism of selecting him in the 2nd RD. He’s my favorite player on the Dolphins, and if I were to buy a jersey (I’m NOT!!!), it would be his. He is a pleasure to watch every week, and I’m more impressed each time I see him play.
Reshad Jones was everywhere, and although he didn’t get an INT or a sack, he was making tackles all over the field, and yes they were tackles the LB’s SHOULD have made.
Brice McCain got his first INT in Miami, and although I had hoped Jamar Taylor would start, and maybe he will down the line, McCain played well enough. Grimes also got us an INT, and that’s what we expect from him, and he came through. We didn’t killed through the air, especially considering the lack of pass rush.
Jordan Cameron can make catches down the field. The last time we had a guy like him (NO, it wasn’t Charles Clay), was probably David Martin. If he can stay healthy, and he did take a couple of hard shots last week, he can be a good guy for Tanny to have.What a great diving catch he made!
Millertime looked good when we finally decided to actually give him the ball. 13 carries, 53 yards, but why we continue to not give him carries, i’ll never understand it. We could have 20 different OC’s, and MillerTime will STILL get 15 max carries a game. Baffling!
Did I mention that Landry is the man? Great job receiving, and his PR won us the game last week. When all else fails, look to Juice to get it done!
Really surprised to so much of Rishard Matthews. Not that it’s a bad thing, I was just surprised how much we saw Rishard, and how little we featured Greg Jennings and even more so, Kenny Stills.
Go Hot Dog! Franks didn’t miss, nailing his only FG attempt!
Darr averaged 43.5 yards per kick, and left one inside the 20, with a long of 63. Good job!
LaMike is NOT LaBron. Good Luck LaMike!
Fede looked good in the D-line rotation, playing more than expected with Vernon injured.
The O-line, I’m not going to kill them, but they weren’t great. They’re going to need to be a whole lot better when we face better defensive fronts than the Washington Redskins, that’s for sure. Face them we will too, because we have 2 games against the Bills, 2 against the Jets, 2 against the Patriots (Not that the Pats front 7 is so great, but they usually give us fits), 1 against the Texans, and 1 against the Ravens (losing Suggs hurts them, we’ll see how Za’Darius Smith fares). 3 sacks from the Deadskins = a lot more from most of the other teams I just named.
I really want to see our defense look scary to their opponents. They looked scary to me, and in not in a good way, but I want the Jaguars to be talking on the sidelines like “How can we stop those guys, they’re relentless?” I want them shaking their heads in disbelief as the sacks pile up, as well as the turnovers. I want our defense to be imposing!
I want our QB to look like an ALL-Pro, not an also ran. He can be better, he has to climb to that level. Not that he was bad last week, he wasn’t, he just wasn’t great either. Do it!
I want the real Ndamukong Suh led defense to take the field, and I want to see Cam Wake and Vernon reap the benefits of having Suh on the line.
I want us to be DEVASTATING! Do it!
GO DOLPHINS!!!

And now for the babe of the week . . .
Finsmob Unleashed 
lol @ wyoming.
nope havent done that, but i have tried to talk a chicken into choking itself.
Chiefs DL looks good. They are getting after Manning. Why can’t we do that?
We can haven’t you seen our OL?
ha ha.
If you have to talk it into it it wasn’t in the mood anyway! 😉
But does that matter?
“I’m Canadian.. “It’s What I Do !!!”
Wait…….I can use that as an excuse?? …………
For apologizing only😎
My God did the refs f up that call. Down by contact but the ball is out while the guy is standing up and not wrapped up.
Sonny with bullshit mañana
WTF? who called time out? LOL
Wow bad time out
Wow, Kubiak getting fancy on 4th & 1 after calling a time out that erased the first down. That is not going to go over well in Co if they lose this game.
Speaking of shit storms this game is something of a shitfest. Turnovers, penalties, bad offense and dumb 4th down decisions.
Looks like a week one game
Good watch if ya got a minute!
http://www.miamidolphins.com/multimedia/videos/Jarvis-Landry-Micd-Up/6b8151be-d735-4df4-970f-59af9c87f21e
Did Peyton call that time out?
Denver has rhat end around read well
This game is almost unwatchable. Dumb penalty

the dolphins are playing?
Bad game so far.
lol Haiti has one white girl playing right now. you know every time some thing goes missing in the locker room they all say ‘damn white girl’
Another dumb penalty
The Dirty Denver D?
whooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooop
This new Broncos offense don’t look so good.
It sure dont

The local Jax radio station does a better BOTW than MikeE and does it every day. (LOL JBB Mike)
No Kim Kardashians in there. LOL.
Tuesday the 1st should have covered her face instead
Pick 6 on Manning
see manning is washed up. it was a good thing he didnt come to miami.
Peyton will not be playing next year
Should he continue playing this year?
He’s got some Caso Dip to go though!
Lol
ken was right about mannings neck injury. a few years late but he was right.
Master is kind.
rock,
peyton may not be playing by the end of this year
Should have been picked again.
Wow hes throwing ducks
Who is Manning’s backup?
Osweiller
i am very kind. look i even got you something
Not normally a fan of female body builders but she not too shabby even if she is green
Master is kind or it’s Caitlyn Jenner. I am not sure which. LOL.
That was nice
This reminds me of Dan’s final year when Jimmy Johnson decided to change the offense and take Dan’s audibles. You are trying to make these QBs run a system that is not designed for their talents. It’s stupid.
Rockphin says:

Lol i got that
Osrweiler who’s like 6’7
FFR said,

Yup
Son its just a shirt bush😛
Short
OK now without wondering wtf I can actually LOL at that. So LOL
See you in a what 6 weeks ‘Toba, I’m looking forward to it
Absolutely to both. I have you for 4 seats in the van ?
It’ll only be 3 now
Okey dokes. Right on the brink of 10 or 12 if im doing my math right
MIKE E (IF you’re still up); I DID a little research and found that Super Bowl X in January of ’77 was the last game played in the historic Orange Bowl with polyturf. The turf was replaced by natural grass in time for the 1977 regular season.
Wow what are you still doing up ?
I’m usually up until about 10:15 week nights, especially if the Marlins are winning!! (That’s 9:15 for you Central Time Zone folks.)
Good for you sir. Im normally 01:00 CST way past all you easterners. And some of the weat coasts as well
YES, Peyton looks washed up tonight. But don’t forget he’s gotten Denver to the playoffs every season in Denver, including once to the Super Bowl. He’s truly one of the all time greats, both ON and OFF the field.
Payton doing his own Hulk impersonation. Me angry me throw ball hard.
Peyton Manning under Kubiack reminds me of Marino in the Jimmy Johnson era
Elway must be saying WTF did I do
You owe me a beer
It’s too early in the year to make any judgements despite how rough it looks. That goes for Peyton and a lot of other players and teams. Except the Bucs and Browns, they’re already done, lol.
And possibly Raiders
Yup add them

i think jared is the only fucker putting a foot long in his mouth and having that look on his face like that idiot in the subway commercial
Thats just wrong. No six year olds have a footlong
And boom we have a tie
Down at the one
SORRY kEN
didnt read through the post as I thought that up in the garage and the scurried in the house
Hope you dont mind Busch Light
Ken said go ahead and drink it for him
Lmao. I like a light bush😜
No need to say Sorry. I prefer to say great minds think alike. While Busch Light is not my drink of choice I would be happy to tilt one back with you.
No problem Toba

Virgil Green with a td for the Donkies to tie the score at 14. That’s the 2nd TD by a former NV Wolfpack player in the past 5 days, can anyone name the other player 😉
I missed all that as I dont have the TV on in here
Peyton must have sad hell with this I’m doing it my way. Whats he going to do, fire me
Pretty much. And their d is kicking ass and keeping them in it
Dumb pick by Alex Smith set up the Broncos for the 2nd score
Howie put me down for 3-2 Fins.
Make that 6-1, we’ll get a TD they’ll block the extra pt, run it back to our goal line, fumble it, we’ll recover run back into the endzone and get tackled 😉
LOL
Matthews
Ding
Alright I need to get some sleep. I am out. Peace to you all.
Night Ken
Cool story i never knew this until tonight
http://emptylighthouse.com/chiefs-jamaal-charles-shines-despite-mental-disability-1842192124
Wow that’s pretty remarkable that he’s a star NFL player
I heard a comment on pre game only Nfl palyer to ever participate in special olymics. Was not sure i had heard right
The story says he just revealed it
Manning hits 70000 yds
Just under 4 miles or somewhere short of 12000 Km
whoops I mean 7 km
Um check yer math. 😎
Thats better lol
I have the conversion set for miles to km and then entered 7000 which is the yards.
Tou stick to that story😇
I’m terrible with metric thank god for easily accessible converters
You
I can’t believe the teacher didn’t like my new paper weight?
LMFAO
What’s the matter with my new dental floss?
Still not something to be doing while driving. Im just sayin
True
Thats my kicker woot woot
In the league I used to be in the 50 yrders were worth 6pts.
Ours are 5 yep. He got me 17 points last week
Can we get that kicker from Den, the MFer is on fire from over 50, last week his 52+ yrd FGs were as high as the old extra pts. going through the uprights.
Tonight more impressive. He aint kicking at Mile High
I used to live in Tahoe where the base elevation was 6200, and I never felt like the golf ball traveled any further, so I’m not so sure playing at mile high is that much of an advantage. In Reno at the Univ. of NV Reno games I didn’t notice a big diff., but that was only 4500.
I like Franks deep kickoffs we were like the only team in the league last year that actually had to cover kicks
That’s why he’s on the team for sure, and why I wanted him, I even said, if his FG% wasn’t as good as Sturgis’ I didn’t care (until of course he misses one).
Son i have to use converters as well. I work mostly in miles and pounds but half the info i am given is in metric
Btw is Canuck a derogatory term nowadays?
Lol. I have never really understood it and have always hated the hockey team So derogatory? Dunno sounds really stupid ?? Yup
Alright I’ll continue saying it behind your back so I won’t offend you, lol
Yes of course it is Son:
in American English is a pejorative meaning one who is stupid or foolish; or an obnoxious, contemptible or detestable person. The word entered English from Yiddish (שמאָק, shmok), where it has similar pejorative meanings, but its original meaning in Yiddish is penis.
Lmao. I am not very easily offended. I just think the word itself sounds dumb.
This so much more user friendly than the live chat i could not get into sunday 😐
Think we should try this week without and see what the consensus is?
Agreed
Consensus is metric for majority
I was able to get on the test run whenever ut was. But i could not log in sunday and then i could not even see the convo after a while. Were any of you on there with an i phone ?
I was on for the opener but I was for the test, I liked it but I see a lot of griping about it.
Wasn’t on for opener
It seemed like it was a different format or web host from the 1st time
I do like the ifea of auto refresh though
Is ifea a derogatory term 😉
No but asshole us 😀
Is. Fen fat thimbs
Grrrrr
Hey Steve is that your Canuck or do you have a banana in you’re pocket?
I lost my left Canuck in a bike accident
You have 2 Canucks? And we thought Bruce Jenner was weird.
He is parts are interchangeable depending on hus/her mood
You schmuck 😛
You’re mashugana
That word i like. 👍
Schmuck not meshawhateveryasaid
Come on Donkies!
I mean come on Mashuganas
So Son likes a deep Frank. Weird
Fuck you
That seems to be the in thing these days, ask the Kentucky clerk.
Im missing something here
LOL, that’s funny
Shoulda been picked
Looking for a Denver sweep, don’t want 2 11-5 teams in the AFC West, would rather have a 12-4 and 10-6.
Yeah, usually two yeams come out of the North. We goota take the division its the best way. Go boys
goota is yiddish for gotta
I gotta go battery is dying
Id like to see them and san diego all go 1-1 against each other
Why? You planning on challenging for the #1 seed?
Vo big or go home right 😎
Hopkins on Matthew Berry’s Week 2 ‘hate’ list
DeAndre Hopkins had the second-most fantasy points in Week 1, but he’s outside Matthew Berry’s top-10 WRs this week because the Panthers “have held their opponents’ top overall pass-catcher to fewer than 60 yards in eight straight games.”
————————
Carolina sucks, but I hope they beat SD, it may help us later.
They dont play SD this year
They play afc south
Nevermind, I was thinking of Keenan Allen.
I liked yout thought process though
Thought goota was a cheese
We do always seem to end up on wrong side of tie break with SD for some reason
Peyton is done, they’ll only go as far as their D takes them. They may not even make the playoffs.
Hope you right
Kelce is a beast
A peyton pick-six coming soon.
That was close to one there
Come on gimpy throw the chicken parm to the endzone.
Phantom flag
He and brady do seem to get those.
Losing feeling in my neck
I see KC called a Philbin, err a timeout, on D
And surprise, surprise, surprise they score a TD after it. Haven’t they watched any of our film?
Wow. Turned into a good game. 50 yder by McManus or a Charles TD.
Lol on To
Omg.
kelse taking way too long to get to LOS
Bring on Sunday. Night
The game totally changed after the D T.O. by KC, are you watching this Philbin?
So based on what we learned tonight it would be VERY offensive to call Charles a retard for fumbling.
