This past Sunday was the most enjoyable “Dolphins” Sunday in so long, I can’t even remember the last one that matched it. I felt like we had a chance to finally beat the Houston Texans, who we were previously 0-7 against. I felt the team had a renewed attitude, and that this might put them over the top. I picked the score of MIA 24 – HOU 6. Who would’ve thought they far exceeded that, and just in the first half!
For the Texans game, a bunch of people from our blog met up for the annual “Fest”, which has become a yearly tradition. I think it’s great, I’ve been to two, but every year I truly miss it when I can’t make it. Jon “Stanger”, is a huge reason for this. The first time I made my way to FLA with my family, Jon, Walker, Gigi, Son, Randy (OD), David, Cap’t Stubbs and Rob (FFR). As has now become the tradition, the whole crew goes out to Dave and Busters for dinner, and Jon always is very kind to provide for whoever chooses to make it there. Honestly, you couldn’t ask for a nicer, better “host”. John (Son), has mentioned it, and so have some others, but Jon (Stanger), really goes out of his way for all those visiting either from far away in-state, or from even farther away out of state. Anyone who has attended knows this, and major props go out to Jon for doing that. The next time I went I got to meet a few other blog favorites, such as Bat, Diggs, Jahn, and also Ken and Jordi (Piggy), whom I’d already met a few times, but you get the point. If you can somehow make it to one, I highly recommend it, and I personally guarantee my attendance next year. Look forward to enjoying another weekend with some great folks, and meeting some people I haven’t yet met!
What a game our friends got to see! I just kept imagining what was going on with our friends who made it there this year, how crazy they must have been going, to witness total domination from our team, the Miami Dolphins. They played the best half of football I’ve ever witnessed by them, hands down. Ryan Tannehill was nearly perfect. The defense was ferocious and relentless. Jarvis Landry played like an All Pro WR/KR/PR FOOTBALL PLAYER. Landry is easily my favorite Miami Dolphin, he plays harder than any player IMO. Lamar Miller was fantastic, both rushing and receiving. Rishard Matthews continues to add to his resume, showing what many of us thought he could be, and making it happen. Reshad Jones continues his All Pro campaign, making tackles all over the field, and adding another pick-6. Suh gave us 6 tackles and 2 sacks. Cam Wake, healthy and rabid, gave us 2 sacks. Everyone just looked better. Thank you Dan Campbell, for stirring this team, and waking them up from their slumber. Forget the 2nd half, it was obviously Campbell not only taking his foot off the pedal, but putting it in PARK, and allowing our guys to rest, knowing we have a big game on Thursday night against the Patriots.
Speaking of Thursday night, this is a huge game against a division rival. Last weeks huge win served only to keep the season afloat, and energize the fan base. We need another massive effort from our team, in order to knock off the favored New England Patriots, in their house, Gillette Stadium in Foxboro. The 6-0 Patriots will likely be allowed to hold Wake, and now likely Suh too, so we’ll need some of the other guys to step up. The Patriots have scored the most points in the AFC, with 213, and are 2nd in the nFL to the Arizona Cardinals, who score a lot of points with their defense. This is a daunting task, and at 3-3, and 0-2 in the division, almost a sure necessity, if we plan on contending this season. Brice McCain, who will be the starter if healthy, is questionable to start opposite Brent Grimes right now. If McCain can’t go, Jamar Taylor will start. That would leave young Bobby McCain as the nickel corner. This is big. The Patriots employ those super-quick, pesky WR’s like Julian Edelman, who BTW made Wes Welker expendable. Danny Amendola, finally healthy, is having a good season. Of course, Tom Brady’s favorite target is big #87, Rob Gronkowski.
I won’t be shocked if we if we see a big dose of RB LeGarrette Blount, and also a good amount of RB Dion Lewis out of the backfield, who will be a game-time decision for the Patriots with an abdominal injury. We need to tackle, and that means Blount, Lewis, but more importantly, Edelman, Amendola, and Gronkowski. The greater majority of passes that Edelman and Amendola catch are only about 5-10 yards past the LOS, so we need to be right on those guys as soon as they catch it, and hopefully, not let them catch it.
Big task for new Head Coach Dan Campbell, to go up against Bill Belichick. All the odds are against us, but I think we may just see a big upset. I don’t expect us to do to the Patriots what we did to the Titans and especially the Texans, but I think we do enough to win this week, with a last minute FG to win 30-28. GO DOLPHINS!!!
And now for the babe of the week . . .
“Life’s the same, I’m moving in STEREO, life’s the same, except for my shoes”

ok let’s let’s go LET’S GO

Finally! Go Phins!!!!!
now how important is that f’n last score righ t before the half by pasties?
Great
Answer after that half
Tanny was awesome in that drive

OK…So maybe this new coach made the right adjustments.
Lest see how the next half plays out

Lol! Whatever works! We would need to score on the first possession, and somehow get a big play on defense or special teams to win this game. When did Brady every lose a 19 point lead? I’m guessing never.
——————————
ahem… big defensive play on the way. 🙂
Alright….good start.
First time he has been behind….looking forward to this as a fan regardless of outcome
Yep- see what squirt does
Somebody needs to cover that little fucker
somebody needs to decleat him
Ok so D says O played better time for us to shit the bed
c’mon defense…. give us the ball back
ok i want to meet the fucker that put extra shit on my bottle of vodka to make it hard to open. you just fucking know he was laughing at me. probably some stupid ass cheats fan working in a low life job saying, i am going to put this top on extra tight to make ffr when he tries to open it to drown his sorrow he has to struggle
So now the defense can’t adjust.

Well this sucks

NE went to a hurry up offense, and we haven’t adjusted yet.
Good rush that time
Ken says:
October 29, 2015 at 10:23 pm
Well this sucks
lol, and thus the sentiment of every dolphin fan for the last decade or so
need another fast TD here
TD’s for FG’s? all day… But we still need a “Brian NY” defensive stop for this formula to work
We are still in this

We’re done with the run
we’ve made decent halftime adjstments on offense.
Wake on the cart makes me think you guys may be right on the knee
Try Pod says:

that is called lazor football
Damien still being punished for that fumble maybe?
No matter what happens the rest of the way……this team has shsowed it can beat anybody
ken i def think his hammy grabbed him but he overcompensated and stiff legged the other leg…prob just aggraavated the hamstring
Ruhro george
Rut-ro

Matthews and Tannehill not in sync

Master is wise
draft a middle linebacker first round

Jury is still out on Campbell
Give us your suggestion instead of bagging on Campbell
Why?

Mathews having a bad game costs tannehill two 2 int’s
our halloween game…. the horror… the horror
I am going to be the first positive person to say that I can see the Fins win any of their games from here. I still think they have a real possibility of being a wild card team
Not with 3 divisional losses. We will get killed on the tie breakers
Ken…I am going to sound stupid…but I think the Fins go on a run after this game.
It’s Phil Simms I can’t stand. QBs never do anything wrong when he does a game. And, he just stole my line. lol

who said you can talk, you are in for a beat down i want you all green and pissed for you next hulk blog. not that i read a think you all say, i just go to mike e botw.
but ok in all seriousness and just asking cause i say over and over i am the novice and just want end results. but even if they win few more game and play well. it he really the answer a te’s coach just trust into a situation
I like what I have seen from him let’s see how we finish
Tidiculous
Or Ridiculous
Good series by the OL
3rd and 28… throw it 5 yards. gee, why are we losing?
Clicked my tv back over just in time to see Selma Hayek walking out to dance. I’m a lucky bastard.
FFR
Instead of always reacting to the moment and bagging on the team… why don’t you suggest a solution??
They are reporting Wakes injury as an an Achilles injury
Achilles for Wake
It’s what I tjought
I think Wake is done for the year.

why not read what i say other then then try to just think i hate the guy. i like him. he did well in two games. i like that he got the team to play well. i am just asking if he is the guy? some one who ha only been a te’s coach. can he figure out how to beat a team? i get he is a rah rah guy and that was or is great, but can he game plan to beat a team?
and listen bookman, i get i am not your fav on here, you are one of mine. if i upset you or you dont like me, you are more then free to not read my post. i know how this is just blog some like others some dont. if you dont wont to read mine i am ok with that, i like yours and will read them but just tell me not to comment on yours and i wont, but will still read them
So we’re the Texans and the patriots are us
If the patriots are us they would be playing backups now
But they are still classless dbags
This game is a disaster
Yep, we had our RT, best pass rusher, and 1st round pick all leave the game with injuries.

Goodnight all
What a depressing game.
FFR…I don’t really care for you at times…but you seem to give up real soon. I personally do not subscribe to your thought process.
Hey one great thing about this game. Gigi or a few others will show up to comment. And not blaming them. I do get it.
Just for once, my god for once can they not just come threw and make us happy fans
TOLD YOU
slack off last week and no momentum coming into tonight.
LOOK AT CHEAT
game in hand with 10 to play and still going for TDs
THAT SUCKED!
Alright I’ve had enough
FFR…NO..if Gigi and others show up now…to me they need to evaluate themselves as fans
