It’s Game 5, or Game 1 of the Dan Campbell regime. We’re playing another 1-3 team in the Titans so both teams are in dire need of a win. Let’s hope the coaching change and the new energy Coach Campbell is trying to bring will be the spark the Dolphins need to start fast and play like we expected from the beginning of the season. Otherwise, we are
Let’s Go Dolphins!
Finsmob Unleashed 
Lets a repeat in the effort next week and get that texas sized primate off our back. Roll into NE with momentum and swagger
Don’t forget about the fest jinx…
Now that’s the way to play a damn football game!
i dont get th time out with second left in a game like this. everyone says a football career can end on any play and you call a time out to run one meaningless play. makes no sense
So Dan Campbell becomes the interim HC, has the benefit of a bye week and wins his first game on the road in a blowout. Wow!!!!
Yeah!!!! Go Dolphins!!!!!!!!
Miller averages 5.9 a carry.

Tannehill 22/29 for 266 with 2 TDs and 2 INTs
he sucks but him
Lazor called a much better game this week (of course we executed better). I have to wonder how much Philbin influenced the play calling.
Or how much Campbell did.
My point exactly.

what i hate about todays players celebrating the ordinary. way to go idiot cost your team a shot at a winning fg cause you made a catch.
He wasn’t celebrating from what I saw.
Now ruled incomplete
Wake gets 4 sacks and 4 or 5 holding penalties.

yep, i agree. we will never know but same with coyle. it was a different d game called. was it joe, the coordinators or the players?
And neither pick was really his fault although there was at least one other that should have been an int and would have been his fault.
Grimes with a momentum killing INT and Reshad with a pick 6.

He wasn’t celebrating from what I saw.
you are right, making a catch and then down by contact and getting up then running 20 yards into the end zone was just his momentum
Obviously he was going for a score believing it was a catch and not down by contact. Not like he was spiking the ball, doing a backflip.
Now kets build on this. And we can with the same effort.
they rush 18 for 63 yds which is a 3.5 average.
Philbin only had one better game than this in his whole tenure. To be fair, Sparano had a win by 28 and no one else since Marino’s time. It was 2002, the last time we had multiple blowouts in one season. Been too damn long.
Now let’s get another for the Fest next week!
I’d take it. Let’s go ahead and 3 in a row?
Not true. Look it up. or do you mean 28 points only which is kind of petty? 😉
Philbin had that blowout last year. That’s it and it isn’t petty. Anything that even looked remotely like an uneven game in any tenure by anyone. Already looked it up. Now it’s your turn.
😉
Bears and Lions all knotted up. Should be OT
Yep. You pumped for the game tonight or what?
I don’t think you can say we do not know how things would’ve gone if the coaching staff had not changed. I think we saw several years of how that coaching staff performed. Sucked.
They were up and down and 2-6 in their last 8 going back tot he last 4 last year. That’s what ended it. The team wasn’t moving forward.
I haven’t been as relaxed and enjoyed watching a Dolphins game like this in way too long. I really liked what I saw today.
This is the team we thought we had at the beginning of the season.
Yes indeed. Good thing, it’s really not too late. We just have to keep it up.
Bri
The excitement between last night and today is intoxicating. I’m ready baby! LET’S GO METS!
We should all enjoy the Mets and Dolphins in the last 24 hours or whatever. It’s so much fun. 🙂
everyone has to wonder if philbin had the benefit of the same players playing today during the first four weeks if he would have fired.
He had the chance for 4 years to prove different. That’s why patience finally ran out.
3 seasons.
Good call. No winning seasons but good call.
I have wonder what kinds of drugs you are taking?
OL had not practiced together which they got to this week. Albert and Sims have not played together with OL. Wake had a hamstring problem during 1st 4 games then he had bye week to rest and get better. Tanny got better protection from OL maybe because of OL working together with Syms and Albert.
Wow Peyton is horrible
So are the Browns

aaahhhhh, nope not ever close. he even faked and injury trying to get a time out. even the announcer were saying how his celebrating would have cost his team.
but ok, my bad, no players ever celebrate their individual accomplishment.
Yes, the announcers are saying he is injured. I must have missed that backflip he did and spiking the ball he was doing
And the announcers were talking about him running to the endzone and that he thought he had a TD. I heard what they said. I never heard anything about them talking about him celebrating.

but my point is still true. players celebrate themselves way to much.
Not at all what you said. Change it around completely if you feel you need to in order to fit what you said. lol

OL had not practiced together which they got to this week. Albert is the only starter in same position as last year.Albert and Sims have not played/practiced together with this years OL except for 9 hours. Wake had a hamstring problem during 1st 4 games then he had bye week to rest and get better. Tanny got better protection from OL maybe because of OL working together with Syms and Albert.
That’s not at all true. All the guys that played today were active game 1. We scored 10 offensive points and our defense didn’t do anything. Wake was active and so way Albert. All the other guys had been playing in the offseason. Any more excuses for Philbin?

huh, it is what i said, try reading it again. it started with me saying players celebrate themselves way to much. not sure how that confused you. and i said the announcers said he celebrated, it was the guy on red zone who said it, i wasnt listening to the game commentators i was seeing it replayed on red zone. but wtf do i know i am just a hating football snob

Wow Peyton is horrible
its that neck injury, sure damn glad the fins never signed him. lmfao
He is terrible right now. Denver wins because of their D.
oops
As shitty as we’ve been, we’re tied with Buff. in the loss column 😉
lots of time in this long season. We had a hard time in the beginning because of injuries and the other teams have yet to experience the same as we did. Hopefully we don’t experience a injury period like that again.
New Age, go look at the schedules/scores since 2012. That’s all I’m going by.
So any win over 10 points is what you are looking at? Philbin was supposedly a offensive guy and we scored 35 points or more twice under him. I see where you are coming from but this is an offensive league and our defense wasn;t consistently getting it done either..
I’m just saying we had games like this before. This was one game. We lose the next two and the discussion of the next HC will begin. You know that. LOL
I was streaming the game and lost the feed after the punt return by Tenn. got them to our 25 with the score 24-10, when I finally got the feed back we had the ball on there 42. I was thinking 24-17 when I got back on, thinking what a piece of shit RT is, meanwhile he’s lighting it up.
next week should be interesting with yahoo streaming game.
FFR, you were talking about celebrating and this specific play, down by contact, running to the endzone, blah blah blah. Maybe you’re repeating what you hear some announcer say, announcers you normally say are idiots. I was just going by what I saw. lol
We’re still in the hunt thanks to all of the unbeaten teams.
There’s a new sheriff in town.

1st td catch against titans and first victory as HC against same. Maybe he can break jinx we have against Texans for our 1st victory against them.
Tim,
I gotta get the feels where I can. Even though the Mets have been giving me the make up feels this year. 🙂
Enjoy, brother! 🙂
Looks like the sports Gods have awaken.

Booooooooooooooooo
herd,
yeah i saw the play too and i think he was show boating. and yes i do think game announcers are idiots. they are there just to say something no matter how irrelevant or stupid. like that idiot saying campbell was just hoping to squeak out a win. however, that guy on red zone, dont know if you ever watch it, but he is pretty good. he isnt there for game comment just to report things.
Campbell has said everything other than squeak it out. He wants to dominate. LOL
And I disagree with what you said and apparently with what the redzone announcer said. I don’t think it was showboating. The only reason I was watching is 1, I have Sanders in FF and 2, I want the points for the catch or a TD, and 3, I don’t want him injured. As for Redzone, no, I don’t watch it.

***************
I don’t wonder that for a second. The team DIDN’T play for Joe, and that’s why he’ home this week. I think the game after his father passed away was the most inspired I saw the team play for Joe. That being said, Campbell needs to keep the attention of his players, and keep their intensity level up.
Agreed. Bring it next week and we can start believing again
It wasn’t scheme, it was a mentality and Joe’s wasn’t working. We’ll see from here how long it lasts. We need to go at least 8-3 the rest of the way.

first, you are not allowed to disagree with me.
second, hey funny i think sanders is on my ff team too
and finally, you should watch redzone it actually is pretty good, especially with no commercials.
herd,
and even if sanders wasnt and i am w….wr…..woooo…rooon….oh fuck it i cant say that word. but i am still right that todays players celebrate way to much for the simplest of plays.

Going to be even a better week if Mike E’s man-crush pulls out a win against Omars. Would love the thought of a 1-5 Ravens team.
Respect Andy Cohen more than any Phins writer around…..so yeah this is nice to read.
————————————
This was the team, and this was the performance, we thought we would see when the season began. Start strong. Play aggressively. Force turnovers. Pound the quarterback. Run with a passion. Win the game. It was all there, as impressive as it was convincing.
Could Dan Campbell’s debut as Dolphins head coach have gone any better? I seriously doubt it. He wanted a different mindset. He wanted passion. He wanted to get physical. He wanted to create a confidence and a cohesion that had been missing. He wanted this team to look like it was supposed to look.
Mission accomplished on all fronts.
I truthfully thought the Dolphins would play well. But this well? On the road? Against one of the top defenses in the league? It was almost like a different team out there. And, in many ways, it was.
The end result of a 38-10 victory over the Tennessee Titans was more than merely a 2-3 record after five games. It was about sending a message, about saving a season and about a group of players who rallied around their new coach in inspiring fashion.
It’s way too early to form any lasting conclusions about Campbell. After all, he’s a veteran head coach of exactly one game. But it’s not too early to say this: I believe he is what this team needed, a fire-breathing leader with a get-tough mantra and a spirit about him that seems downright contagious.
‘It’s way too early to form any lasting conclusions about Campbell.’
what does he mean? how can he say that? he is the only coach in the league that has never lost a game. lol
Stanger i have said since we made change i expected to shit kick on both sides of the ball today. I HOPE they keep it going next week but not as sure about thT as i was if this weeks performAnce
So was that Rodgers sack poor pocket presence or really good pressure? 🙂
wow whoever that qb is in green bay he sucks. he just took a sack that got them out of fg range. they should put in the back up and consider drafting another qb

Andrew Abramson @AbramsonPBP 12m12 minutes ago
Since LT Branden Albert joined the #Dolphins they are now 7-3 in games that he plays, finishes
If albert plays they have a good shot of winning the game. He makes tanny feel confident in the pocket. I hope he plays the rest of year.
any one see that prayer wilson threw up and the wr made a td catch. pretty sure never seen a wr do that for tanny. but then again wilson is the greatest qb ever
That’s why guys like Albert are coveted.

Did anyone notice how we ran that 1st play from the shotgun? I sure did and was like Oh No maybe we arent going to commit to the run.
Then Bamm, an inside handoff to MIller for at least 5 and the tone was set right there…
HELL YEAH!!!

this is cool. He’s intense.

To me this answers questions. Was it coyle, yes it was. Was it Lazor, yes it was. Don’t care who called the plays, this games design was not ANYTHING like the previous games. I think this shows Saunders influence along with Campbells directive. Also thank you Rizzi for lending support he had a couple BIG contributions. Overall it looked great and the players seemed to respond better to Campbell than they ever did for Philbin. No matter the next game, this on was really inspiring and I hope it carry’s over to the next one. Great job Dan.
I agree but I think it also answers the main question that was it is Philbin? Yes it was!
Philbin couldn’t motivate a cat to chase a mouse running in front if it.

I’m the one talking football and he’s the troll calling me names.
i would assume he’s jealous that i get football responses and his stupidity is just old.
don’t worry puss boy just stay behind your keyboard and everything will be fine
orob, I’m not sure what you’re trying to prove here. You and some others continued to stir shit on the old blog til things were so bad we had to start this one. We were all pretty much called thieves among other things, and you were a big part of keeping that going. Things have been pretty peaceful here and I’d like to keep it that way. Stop with your threats. No one is interested in that bullshit being on here.
i know longer have anything to say to you
Give it a rest. I want to be able to enjoy this win.
I’m gonna go, you can resume your stupid comments.
this place sucks
Less so now than just moments before
got to say i hate this new extra point rule. what were they thinking, he lets promote scoring by making passing so easy but i know, why not promote not scoring buy promoting a kicker to be more a failure. i mean if you want to promote less scoring how about giving a d back a chance in the passing game.
Sorry about that. I’ve not said anything since he started posting here but I remember how things went down at the other blog. Maybe I carry a grudge or whatever but I didn’t want to see that start all over again here. Moving on…..
No apologies necessary. We are all aware of what transpired; some see it in a way I could not, but we all have our own sense of reality.
so your grudge gives you the right to attack me unprovoked?
maybe you should stop calling me childish names and just tell me what your problem is.
i’m just talking sports and i’m getting fuck’n attacked!
how would you feel if i did the same to you
you don’t have a clue what happened before, your opinion is one sided
