It’s Game Day. Our record says it all. 3-5, 0-4 in the division.
I’ve thought about it and I’ve come up with a plan. They need to go with what works for them. Based on results, they played well the 2 weeks after Campbell was named head coach. All they need to do is fire the head coach every two weeks and we’ll be fine.
Let’s Go Dolphins
Finsmob Unleashed 
We’ll see what happens today. I’m hoping for a Dolphins win, but in reality it’s not going to matter come Week 17 anyway. I am curious as to what Chip Kelly has in mind for this porous defense though…
That’s very interesting. Student vs. Teacher
LOL @ Herd….Yes fire the coach every 2 weeks and we have a workable system finally!
Imagine the rest of the NFL copycatting us. ESPN couldn’t keep up….LOL

I presume to be in the minority here, but I am kinda glad Rousey get her ass kicked last night. I don’t watch mma, and have even less desire to watch women fight, but we have her forced down our collective throats constantly, so a little disappointment for her and Dana White makes me a little bit happy.
It probably also makes me a shallow individual, but… 😏
I kind of agree, I too was getting tired of all the Pub. she was getting against a weak class of opponent.
I streamed the prelim fights last night and was thinking, a reason why I like the UFC so much is, because you don’t know who wins until the end. What I mean by this is it’s mano y mano, there’s no officiating to cheat things along the way, sure that happens afterwards in a decision, but it doesn’t take away from the fight while it’s happening. I don’t know how many team sporting events in the last 10 yrs that I’ve stopped watching, because of the officiating, but it’s been close to 100.
Tim, if hasn’t already seen this, will appreciate this (others will too, I’m sure):
Miami Dolphins Cheer @MDCheer 7m7 minutes ago
Happy game day! #MIAvsPHI
What’s wrong with James Harden and the Houston Rockets? Has Chloe Kardashian put her black widow stink on him 😉
Here’s how bad he was last night:

The kardashian curse is a mysterious black hole of herpes and sucking
Wouldn’t the hole be more beige-ish?
Let’s go Dolphins!
Beat the Eagles
We will probably get to see Ajayi today
If we don’t fall behind early

The game is on in the NYC area for those interested.
Great, now all I have to do is figure out how to get to the NYC area in the next 2 hours…
Must have been pretty cool to “The Chairman of the Board”….or Burt Reynolds for that matter.
—————————————-
While out to dinner one night at the popular LA eatery Nicky Blair’s, Burt Reynolds caught the eye of Frank Sinatra, who was dining with his entourage.
Summoning Reynolds, Sinatra invited him to a poker game he and his friends would be holding in the restaurant’s kitchen after their meal.
When he joined them, he found them “seated at a big round table in the middle of the kitchen, with all the waiters and busboys rushing back and forth.”
As Sinatra called five-card stud, there was a “big crash,” as “an unlucky busboy had dropped a tray of glassware.”
As Reynolds recalls it, the owner, Nicky Blair, came in “yelling at the poor busboy,” and Sinatra did not approve.
“How much do those glasses cost?” Sinatra asked his host.
“I don’t know, Frank, a few bucks apiece.”
Sinatra nodded to his two bodyguards, and one at a time, each counted out $3,000 in cash and handed it to Blair. “Now bring me three grand worth of glasses,” he said.
The confused restaurateur started sending in busboys with trays full of empty glasses. Sinatra asked one for his name — it was Hector — and said, “Hector, break ’em!” The busboy did as he was told “until the floor was covered with broken glass.”
“Frank told Nicky, ‘If I ever come in and don’t see Hector, I’ll never come back.”
At that point, before a card had been dealt, Reynolds got up to leave.
“ ‘Where the hell are you going?’ Frank said.
“ ‘Home,’ I said. ‘I got my Sinatra story.’ ”
“All they need to do is fire the head coach every two weeks and we’ll be fine.”
LOL Herd — worked for George Steinbrenner.

Jarvis Juice Landry @God_Son80 18h18 hours ago
Them or Me? But then again if you got to choose you should choose them..
HOPING for the best in today’s Fins @ Eagles game. But I’m afraid Murray runs for 150 yards and 2 touchdowns. Can Ajayi and Miller top that?? –IF they do, Miami wins!!
—————————-
REALLY ENJOYED what I saw of yesterday’s college football offerings. Big 12 may not be the best conference. But THEY SURE ARE ENTERTAINING!! Does anyone think Art Briles’ offense would work in the NFL?
—————————
Here’s how I view the Top 6 in the CFP.
1) CLEMSON; after dispensing with patsies Wake Forest & South Carolina, Clemson will have a REAL CHALLENGE IN THE ACC TITLE GAME Vs. North Carolina. I give the Tar Heels a 50-50 shot to spring the huge upset. IF Carolina wins, CLEMSON IS OUT OF THE PLAYOFFS!!
2) ALABAMA; PLAYS CHARLESTON SOUTHERN & AUBURN, then FLORIDA in the SEC title game. NO CONTEST!! – – Tide is the ONLY team of the Top 4 to have a clear and easy path to the Playoffs.
3) OHIO STATE; HAS GAMES REMAINING Vs. Michigan State, @ Michigan and Vs. Iowa in Big 10 title game. Odds say Buckeyes lose one of those games. IF so, there’s a chance NO Bif 10 team makes the Final Four unless Iowa runs the table.
4)NOTRE DAME; Will beat Boston College next week. But final game @ Stanford will be Stanford’s GAME OF THE YEAR after losing to Oregon last night. I say STANFORD hands ND their second loss of the season and knocks Irish out of playoffs!!
5)IOWA; Nov. 27 game @ Nebraska will not be easy. But if UNDEFEATED IOWA team plays UNDEFEATED OHIO STATE in Big 10 title game, the winner advances to the playoffs and the loser does not. And if Buckeyes lose at Michigan but beat Iowa, NO Big 10 team will go to the Final Four.
6)OKLAHOMA STATE; Undefeated Cowboys play both Baylor and Oklahoma at home in T. Boone Pickens’ Stadium. Beating BOTH of them is not likely. But if Cowboys win both, they’ll definitely be among the 4 Playoff Teams. A loss by Clemson, Ohio State or Notre Dame MIGHT mean the Oklahoma-Oklahoma State game is for a PLAYOFF SPOT, since Oklahoma will move up in the rankings after beating Baylor at Baylor last night.
7) OKLAHOMA; See above. 1-loss SOONERS still have a long shot at a playoff spot.
———————-
Yes, some team outside this “Top 7” could make it to the playoffs. But I think that’s highly unlikely.
It’s going to be interesting, that’s for SURE!!
Ha! That is funny Herd! Just keep firing them every two weeks
Time too kick some Buzzard ASS!
Tim … I love your new avatar.
Stronger together.
Awesome!

Brent Grimes is on the inactive list
he is not injured as far as I know
is this punishment for getting shredded vs watkins last week?
He must be hurt. Parker is active so maybe we see something from him today.
I don’t understand why people blow up and shoot down innocent victims at a concert, soccer match, or sidewalk cafe. I mean I understand the geo politics of the Middle East and that the revenge cycle there goes back to ancient times, but what strategic or publicity advantage does Islamic State hope to achieve by shaming Islam? Paris is such a cheerful and open-minded city. I hope France and the US exterminate every IS sympathizer in the world in the next two weeks.
Grimes has had nagging injuries to several body parts. I think his failures last week were indications that he can’t run. Watkins just walked off and left him time after time. Sammy is fast, but that was pitiful coverage. A case could be made that Grimes lost the game for us last week.
Too much dick cake over the weekend.
Howie in the Hills,
My non-logical pick is 24-20 MIA
GetterDone SOMEBODY!
Go Phins!
Time for the young corners to prove their worth.
France and the US as well as other countries have been conducting air strikes in Syria for months to attack ISIS
I expect the reaction to be more of the same
People are calling for a reaction but really the extermination of ISIS has been underway a long time now
I think the clock is already ticking and has been for ISIS
the way we have been fighting terrorism has actually been working and we have prevented a lot of civilian deaths at the hands of terrorists for over a decade now
I don;t think what happened in France this weekend changes that
maybe people in Paris and major cities have to deal with a little heightened scrutiny
but I do think ISIS is getting weaker and has been
Get real my friend. The US is using ISIS to try and oust Assad. Russia is the one who’s actually truly targeting ISIS. France has a token involvement there.
No clock is ticking on ISIS. They will get much worse before they get defeated if the PTB continue their current agenda.

http://www.theguardian.com/world/2015/nov/14/france-active-policy-syria-assad-isis-paris-attacks-air-strikes
I really thought by now that Parker would’ve become a factor. At least catch one or two nice medium long passes each game. Maybe this week? But his foot is listed as still throbbing on him. That is yet another first round pick since the 2007 debacle from which we are now getting little or nothing.
Jake Long
Vontae Davis
Jared Odrick
Dion Jordan
Devante Parker
Jawaun James is injured but at least he played a lot till recently.
Tannehill can’t seem to make the last step to elite.
Pouncey causes two safeties in back to back weeks.
I might be exaggerating a little on Pouncey and Tannehill, but maybe not too.
James, Tannehill and Pouncey are probably our best 1st rounders in recent memory
Long, Davis and Odrick were not bad – in fact good at times
but there time was short lived here
Jordan is the real disaster on this list
Parker gets a pass for now due to our WR corps being deep.
Even if he sat all year, I just want to see the 1st rd pick become a stud in 2016 & going forward.
no Rhinos for today’s game. Promised wife I’d help her with something at her work. 😦 But I’m recording it so I can watch when I get back. Now I just have to resist checking updates on the phone. lol Go Phins. sucks that we’re going nowhere, but gotta cheer ’em on anyway.
Odds are there won’t be much worth watching when you return, so kudos on putting family 1st my friend!
Tim may be right on this one?
Armando Salguero @ArmandoSalguero 12m12 minutes ago
Brent Grimes had Illness late last night, came back in today and thought he was good, worked out this morning but didn’t feel well.
GDP not Tim
Too much dick cake.
Okay so it was an illness. I didn’t really get anything right, I just speculated there was no way he was inactive for his play.
Pig
I pray you are correct about IS weakening, and I do think that is the case, and I do support Obama’s limited war campaign, but I want them all dead this week. I also want every nation to use its intelligence forces to comb through all Islamists to find those inclined to perpetrate acts of senseless violence and assassinate them first.
My goal for this month is for all the mean people on earth to die.
🙂
It will probably takes years to decades to wipe out a group this large
but the Taliban is no more from everything I read
so it can happen
I think the allies will amp it up against ISIS now. There will be more airstrikes and special operations now.
Maybe the US could stop covert funding & accidently (wink wink) dropping armaments into the hands of ISIS.
That would go a long way to eliminating that threat.
Is it bad that I really don’t care if we win or not this week? I think it is, but my heart ain’t in it anymore this season. Sucks!
I hear ya but yes I do want to see the team win and try to finish the season better than it started. It’s a long shot but a winning streak would get this team back in the playoff hunt because so many AFC teams are around .500.
Yeah, I totally understand that. I know it’s wrong, I just don’t see any light at the end of the tunnel with this team. Nothing, and I mean nothing to be optimistic about.
That would be awesome. We as fans really hope we can go on a run to save Campbell’s job too.
GDP
Albeit you make a good point
in 2014 The Obama administration was participating in air strikes in Syria i.e leading it
but recently they did criticize Russia for the same sort of air strikes
around the same time France lead some air strikes which were not criticized
I think the difference between the white house reaction to France and Russia is that the Russians did it unilaterraly without coalition approval
I don;t think at the end of the day this administration is hesitant to support air strikes on Syria to attack Isis
I think they don;t want Russia going rogue….lol
Russia was the only one actually making real progress.
The US strikes were mostly just a dog & pony show for the media. No real significant effort to really take them out since they’re using the ISIS mercenaries to try and oust Assad.
The same strategy was used in most all the Arab sprig BS to oust Mubarak, Gaddafi, etc, and Iran is next on the hit list.
Destabilize the ME by any means is the MIC narrative.
Russia is pro Assad, so that’s why the US is pissed, cause they’re the ones actually really trying to take ISIS out.
Mike E, I feel the same way until the team shows it. If we lay an egg today the team will likely lose confidence and lose a lot more games.
I agree. But if that happens we’ll have a great draft spot next year 😉
I don’t worry about draft pick status because that’s not a lock either.
mike,
being hopeless about the dolphins is the worst feeling. I want them to win today. I just know they won’t and its gonna be downhill from here.
Could be, and then we have to see who’s in charge of doing the picking, and if we feel good about that.
I’m not going to Slatterys until halftime today
I’m at work preparing for a trial
😦
but its sort of an example of how little I have started to care about the 2015 season
So I hear you guys
If the Dolphins are getting crushed, are you still going for the 2nd half?
I doubt it
but I do need to get some food in my pork belly
So I may take a break to watch football in general for the 2nd half
Sucks its come to this for us fans. I’ve lost my flare for going to the sports bar all jacked up in my Phins jersey and raising hell….LOL
The game is on TV in the NY area if you have a TV at the office. LOL
nope
And I won;t be on the blog either until at least halftime!
Tim, looks like the friggin Jags game takes precedence here, so I’ll be streaming Vipbox
We get Phins/Eagles and Skins/Saints at 1 with the Giants/Pats at 4.
well the good part of the state of the fins is now i dont give a rats ass about the game.
Pig, good luck in the trial…are you representing the plaintiff side or the defendant?
I just second chairing it
I’m not doing the trial myself
I represent the Plaintiff/Petitioner

Well at least win or lose, we should want to see some of our young talent develop & progress towards sticking on the roster for 2016. Yes, Tanny included. There I said it. 😉
Absolutely! Especially at corner.
Which Miami team will show up today? The bumbling incompetents of the last two weeks? or the dazzling skill talent that played against the Titans and Texans? or the lethargic under-achievers who played Jax, the Bills at home, and the Jets in London?
Nobody knows…..
precisely … not even the coaches or players know this.
My big worry today is Murray, but maybe the silver lining of not having Wake in there is that we’ll actually be more solid upfront against the run.
The defense better be ready for Murray to bounce it outside which he loves to do. If we keep him inside we should be okay.
But then if he is kept inside it won’t be in Suh’s direction…….at least on obvious running plays (teams do wait for him to pounce upfield and fill the void behind him when it looks like a pass).
Im scared that Murray, Matthews and Sproles all roll for 100 each. 😞
That would be ridiculously bad.
But ridiculously possible i fear
Go Phins!!!
I can’t root for a loss even though we’re jockeying for draft position right now. It’s just not in my DNA to play to lose. I guess more than anything I’m just rooting for a Pets loss. They don’t have a lot of possible losses left on the schedule.
Come’on Cav…….we ain’t at the draft position thoughts yet. Maybe if we lose this one, but even then…..
YOUNG STANGER; Maybe convincing wins over Philly and Dallas might encourage someone to take the Dolphins’ franchise off Steve Ross’s hands?? YUCK, YUCK!!
That ain’t happening OD. Did you catch how Ross just started a foundation to combat prejudice through sports? He’s invested. Plus he is worth like six times more than the Phins are…..he don’t need the cash.
GDP
I do think Syria is extremely complicated, because Assad is a very bad man and needs to be replaced, and it was certainly true that for a while, the US armed any group fighting to oust him. Now I don’t think we are aiding IS on purpose at all any longer, although I am sure that some arms and stuff intended for the resistance filter through to IS. Some they take and some they get through the original recipients being fake fronts for them. But I don’t think that is US policy.
I do not know who you mean by MIC?
MIC = military industrial complex = perpetual ongoing war somewhere anywhere.
Got to have a boogieman ya know. 😉
gotcha … I do believe there is that.
Local TV in Tampa only showing South America’s Team at Tampa Bay. Then NYG-Pats at 4.

Miami @ Philly is on DIRECTV CHANNEL 706 AT 1 PM.

He looked fine. I thought it was awesome.
Actually like to see the footage
Okay, come on Phins go play a good football game. Go Phins!!!!!
Alright GO PHINS prove my score and fears Silly !!!
https://www.facebook.com/MiamiDolphins/?ref=nf
Did we lose yet? I don’t make any effort to watch anymore, as I don’t care for the feeling of despair and resignation it makes me feel.
I totally get what everyone is saying about not caring about the outcome of the game. I’m normally optimistic by nature but I admit it’s gotten to me too.
I’ll have to get whatever enjoyment from football from college and fantasy. This season is done. 😦
Go DW!
Nice return. Line up inder ctr. No shotgun
Under center….YEA!
For one play🙄
nice runback … gotta say there is more pressure on Philly … just think if they lose to us at home. How bad would that be for them, but they are expected to win so it would be no biggie if they do.
Nice toss. Woooo
Millertime…woot
Tanny nice deep out.
wow a good third down play for us … that is refreshing!!
under center again, I luv it!
Followed by that oob
Wow Jennings caught one !!!
I’ve started hating those WR screens…even Clemson is overusing them.
REDZONE…now get 6!
dropped an easy one there Damien
offsides
lots of under center work on this opening drive…keep at it guys!!!!
just gotta get Cameron to get hot somehow
Wow
Our OG’s suck & so did Pouncey there.
once again a sack on an obvious passing down with never a draw or quick read to the hot WR
Doesn’t Lazor look at Philly tendencies and see that they often blitz like that on those D&D situations? Why not plan ahead for that?
Tanny got them on a hard count…….if he was trying that before it didn’t work.
So Who is right?
Chris Perkins @chrisperk 1m1 minute ago
T’hill didn’t feel the blitz, i guess
Adam Beasley @AdamHBeasley 2m2 minutes ago
Pouncey just got blown up on that sack.
can we just stop talking about the o line. they arent even worthy of negative talk. the talk should be non-existence like their blocking
Anyone talking about pocket presence….The whole interior, LG, C, RG folded like FFR’s Fest tent.
The timing on offense is off. The first play of the game that Landry caught, he was open early, but didn’t get the ball until the defender came up from deep, if the ball had hit him early in stride he would’ve picked up close to a first down, instead of 2 yrds.
What a secondary….sheesh
damn, tanny has to cover that TE better
Anybody see a Linebacker on that play to the TE?
me either
WTF….we had that 3rd down blown up…but no one watches what Huff is doing standing alone in the back of the EZ….WTF!
nice job DBs … way to support the DL when they get good pressure.
i guess that td is on the offense too. they should have stayed on the field longer.
We had at least one DB standing in no man’s land doing nothing. Did it not occur to him to look for a MAN to guard?
broken play, it happens.
I’m sure we’ve all seen the stat that when we lose we get out scored 50-3 in the first qtr, but when we win the numbers our heavily in our favor, so why the fuck would you ever defer, when you win the toss?
HMMMMMMMM

FinsMob Unleased to you too pal !
Tanny didn’t feel the blitz? LOL
So what do you want him to do just throw it over the middle of the field and get picked and if he dumps it it’s intentional grounding. Please get a clue people!
Omg
lmao. and you dont even have to pay to watch this circus
LMFAO! WHAT A FUCKING JOKE!!!!
i was about to ask why is Williams even on this team but then i remember it is the miami dolphins
Why put a guy with a broke down hand to field kicks? why not train all your KO return men that if you muff it you MUST take a knee. Firm rule! Coaching errors and a stupid RB.
What just happened? I walk away for a minute and I see Williams on the ground close to our own goal line.
time for a bad snap
Poor Tanny has to start @ the 6″ line.
Wow a safety. Who knew
LMAO 3 SAFETIES IN A ROW!
