So here we go again the Dolphins are down 16-3
They even gave up a safety …again…
but…
Dolphins D holds the Eagles to 3 second half points
I actually have no idea how the Dolphins won.
They were outgained by the Eagles by over a hundred yards.
And they had some calls go not their way
but this guy still plays for the Dolphins and when the balls goes off another players helmet and hangs in the air for a few minutes. You can count on Landry to score…
Reshad Jones had a timely pick too…as usual…
Dolphin Win!!!

I saw that; They hit an ISIS training camp.
But airstrikes alone are never going to get rid of 500,00 scumbags in pickup truck with giant machine guns mounted on the back
this may take a generation to fix. Unemployemnt is very high for youth in the middle east some places 40-50 percent. These kids need hope. I’ve heard syrian womenfor sex trafficking are being sold anywhere from 10 bucks to $175 to generate income. Kids as young as 1-9 yrs olds being sold for sex trade.Black markets for oil(Turkey) Isis taxing iraqi citizens 50 percent. The money generators is coming to a end soon and things may become uglier in that time.
Ed Hockuli (sp) should be thrown out of the league and not be allowed to ref any more games, this kind of shit happens every time he’s involved in a game. Yeah don’t think we haven’t noticed either NFL you bunch of cheating fucks.
That was a good win yesterday, not a pretty win but a good win and it’s been a long time since we won a game like that.
Two things I brought up Friday happened yesterday.
I said we haven’t kicked a meaningful FG all year and although we didn’t kick one late we needed both to be in the game.
I said we haven’t scored a 4th qtr TD so far this year that either put us back in a game or gave us a lead and even though it was the early 4th qtr we finally did it and the D was able to hold on.
4 TD game for Cousins yesterday and Cam won again too.
Did he win, or Carolina? You know why I ask -lol
The Cam-olina Panthers are undefeated
The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights has reported that Christians in towns captured by the Islamic State group were issued commandments that they must obey or face death.
The 11 rules are paraphrased here:
1. Do not establish any church.
2. Do not show a cross or Christian books on Muslim roads and in Muslim markets.
3. Do not let Muslims hear recitations of Christian books or the pealing of Christian church bells.
4. Do not perform any aggressive acts against the Islamic State group.
5. Do not perform any Christian worship rituals in public.
6. Respect Islam and Muslims.
7. Pay the jizya (a tax on non-Muslims).
8. Do not own weapons.
9. Do not trade in pork or wine with Muslims and do not drink wine in public.
10. Having a separate cemetery is allowable.
11. Follow all regulations of the Islamic State group.

JUST AN UNBELIEVABLE second half performance by the Dolphins’ defense!! – – CAN’T IMAGINE in my wildest dreams that this would/could have happened if “Clueless Joe” was still in charge. NOT EXACTLY SURE how much of this comeback was due to Campbell and his staff making adjustments and how much was due to pissed-off Dolphins being tired of playing like clowns. The fact that Campbell benched Grimes after his awful performance last week is EXACTLY the kind of message that needs to be sent!! It took a big pair of balls to do it. But events have proven Dan Campbell did the right thing.
————————-
MIAMI’s under talented offensive line cannot provide realistic dreams of making the playoffs. We’ve got SO MANY HOLES on this team to fill, despite Ross’s and T-Baum’s spending spree during the off season. And there’s NOT ENOUGH cap space to repair all the leaks, thanks to unwise spending by T-Baum. The fact that T-Baum did ESSENTIALLY THE SAME THING TO THE JETS FRANCHISE BEFORE HE WAS LET GO apparently did NOT sink in when Ross made the decision to hire him!! So, again, THIS IS ALL ON ROSS, just as his decisions to keep/hire the Tuna, Sparano, Ireland and Philbin are all on Ross.
————————
ME AND MRS. OD will be in the stands for the Miami-Dallas game this coming Sunday. It will be her first game back to Sun Baked Stadium since the security incident at the Kansas City game last September 21. We’re STILL awaiting an explanation/apology from Dolphins’ security on that outrageous incident. But we’re hoping the increased level of security brought about by recent ISIS attacks will make the stadium safer. We hope all of you who’ll be attending this game will act as an extra pair of eyes and ears to help protect your fellow fans. The only good ISIS radical is a DEAD ISIS radical!

I’m happy for the team win yesterday, especially for the D for gutting it out. But, man, we have to change something given that pt reality.
With less than 3 minutes to go in the game, I was disgusted (again) with the team and turned off the TV, grabbed my book and went to Starbucks. I got in the car and started driving and changed the radio station. It happened to tune into the Dolphins game where I hear the announcers saying “The Dolphins win” “The Dolphins win”
I was like WTF?? LOL how did that happen? We couldn’t get a first down to kill the clock….
Yeah!Dolphins win! Thanks all the young players who stood the fuck up!
I enjoyed that win because the game got ugly for awhile but the defense stepped up along with lots of young players stepping up and we pulled if off. That’s a game we normally lose so good road win.
“That’s a game we normally lose”
Yeah, main reason why with less than 3 minutes to go I assumed a defensive collapse and turned the TV off. Exciting game. I don’t think my heart can take too many like that.

Quietly…rookie P Matt Darr (@m_darr) leads the NFL in punting (49.1) and 8th in net (41.6). #puntersarepeopletoo
That was one of the weirdest Dolphins games I had seen in a while. Forced so many turnovers but none recovered. The two biggest being Vernon unable to hold it; the other the late hit on the QB on the Hewitt INT (I think it was Hewitt) before the half. We lost a potential 10 points there and a minimum of 6 just on those two plays alone. Got to clean that up.
The TE situation again looked hopeless but somewhere the D coordinator or somebody realized that they got to keep the extra defender back and not have him come in to attack.
It sucked sometimes because the Philly QB had plenty of time to scan the field at times rolling out of the pocket but it seemed to work as they couldn’t find people at times.
The moments that I did love about the game were the young guys…
Matthews, Landry, Ajayi, Miller, BOBBY MCCAIN (looked like a vet in his first start…so smooth).
The future looks bright if the team can ever resolve the OL issues.
I was furious at Lazor much of the game with his cheesy college type play calls (bubble screen, double/triple reverse, etc). Also his mix in the 1st half where he kept it up with his typical shotgun formation and nothing but passes. The team went back to running even while down which is a plus but they have to do that early before they are in a deficit. I’m tired of fundamental football being ignored. I watched the Pats/Giants game last night and saw what I expected from the Pats when their team gets to the 2 or 1 yard line -> I formation, 3 TE sets.
Think the OL woes arent critical anymore it think they are starting to gel now. There were some cock ups int he game, like one by Albert when he doubled up on Thomas’ guy when he didnt have to and let the guy come around from the outside unblocked. Thomas got pushed back into Tanny one play. Turner had a miscue or two and so did Fox, but that was a pretty good showing against one of the best front 7’s in the NFL. I think a lot of it is coming down to play-calling as it has many times this year. There were three or four series in this game that were just fucking ridiculous. I remember one series with us backed into our endzone, here we are in shotgun, same for the fumble/safety. Same for short yardage packages and redzone where we line up in shotgun and straight pocket pass which is not Tanny’s strength. They hate the roll-out/bootleg for some reason.

Him and Landry are freaks of nature. Keep an eye on the LSU WR’s coming out. 🙂
——————————————
Best one they got coming out this next year is Travin Dural, and he is no OBJ/Landry. He’s prone to drops, not nearly as sure handed. He probably is as gifted athletically or more so than Landry, and better physical specimin than OBJ. He’s 6’2, runs a sub 4.4 40, but he doesnt seem to have the makeup that the others have. Dont get me wrong he has talent and if he fell to the 3rd or 4th id take him but i wouldnt overpay for him. I just dont think he has the IT factor that Landry has.
One SEC reveicer that might be a later round steal because he plays like a beast and has pretty great hands and ability to turn short plays into long ones is Pharoh Cooper of South Carolina. He’s very similar to Landry.
Your score is: 6548 (GRADE: A-)
Your Picks:
Round 1 Pick 9: Vernon Hargreaves III, CB, Florida (A+)
Round 2 Pick 9: Jerald Hawkins, OT, LSU (A)
Round 3 Pick 9: Shaq Lawson, DE, Clemson (B+)
Round 4 Pick 9: Travin Dural, WR, LSU (A+)
Round 5 Pick 9: Curt Maggitt, OLB, Tennessee (A+)

Round 7 Pick 9: Jake McGee, TE, Florida (B-)
inside line backer is a major need.
Id move Jenkins inside
Or get a ILB in FA
By the way, cant’ stand these NFL receiving rules anymore.
That catch by Odell last night that was denied is the WR version of the Brady Rule that the NFL did away with. Why try and bother to have referees if the league wants to automate what is a fumble or incomplete pass with some shitty rule. I get what the NFL wants to consider a football move, or that some guys are stumbling down to the ground while trying to catch, but when a player is vertical, balanced, and clearly has the ball in his grasp while two feet are down in the endzone …that should be a TD
A runner can barely tip the pylon and lose the ball or jump over the goal line and cross it by a millimeter and lose the ball and it’s TD, yet receivers have to perform a dance routine to prove that the ball never moved. LOL
Al, agreed on Lazor. He calls plays like he’s playing a friggin video game. Stick with core plays that work you dumb fuck. LOL
He needs to be fired, win or not, he keeps doing same shit and its almost like no one can talk the senselessness of repeating this idiocy through his thick skull.
yeah, I agree with you guys. Lazor is to “cute” with his play calling. all the BS reverses, fake reverses, double reverses, triple reverses, etc need to stop! Plus all the BS shifting before the plays needs to stop. At least when we are in the hurry up!!!! Way to kill the clock when you are in a hurry. Line up, then take 5 more seconds off the clock while we shift and reset EVERY FREAKIN PLAY! I get the idea behind showing one alignment and then shifting to another. I helps the offense see what kind of Defense they are calling. (Man vs zone, etc) but STOP DOING IT WHEN YOU ARE IN THE HURRY UP!!!
The shifting and motion stuff is weird a lot of the time. Much of the time they go back to where they started. I guess Lazor thinks he’s blowing the defense’s mind. LOL
Miami Dolphins Cheer @MDCheer 7m7 minutes ago
Look out for @MDC_Paige at Sunday’s game and find out tomorrow who your next Cheerleader of the Week will be!
“Brent Grimes guessed he puked 15 times between Saturday night and Sunday.
Food poisoning was the culprit.”
—————-
Wonder if some Room Service waiter in Philly is bragging to his friends about how he almost won the game.
Anyone know Jenkin’s status?
they said he was gonna be fine.
To add to what Al said, it was unbelievable how every ball bounced away from us on forced fumbles. It was crazy, but that’s why the Landry TD was our due. Sometimes, the ball has to bounce your way!
From the SS:
“Jenkins, who is third on the team with 45 total tackles, initially suffered the injury in last week’s 33-17 loss to the Buffalo Bills. He practiced all week on a limited basis, then re-aggravated the ankle injury in the second quarter after tallying five tackles.”
“Brent Grimes guessed he puked 15 times between Saturday night and Sunday.”
I’ve told him time and time again. Do NOT eat Miko’s pie! That is rank enough to make anyone puke for days!
CAN miami win 6 of the next 7 games to get them a wild card? I doubt it, but it is possible. Now that they have laid down 4 times to the AFC east there are no tie breakers that will save them. They MUST win the next 7 in a row to guarantee a playoff spot or at least 6 with some help.
The season is still over…..
For sure the playoffs are unlikely, but right now the 6th spot would go to a 5-4 team and there is only one other. They need to go 5-2 just to get to ten wins. Lot of football still to play.
I am really like Rishard Mathews as a starter for us! He and Landry play with passion and are very physical. If we can get old broken foot going we would have some excellent WR’s.
I think Rishard will be gone next year. Bad Foot is going to have to get healthy enough to start next year.
I hope not. We finally develop a guy…..
Rock
Very true, but I think part of it is Rishard finally woke up in time to play for his next contract.
I hope we keep him as well. Sure he’s playing for a contract right now but since he was our draft pick I think he’ll play hard for us after he gets his money.
He seized the opportunity as well when Parker and Stills were out and never looked back. He’s always flashed when given the opportunity.
“Worst players at every position from Week 10” by PFF
Guards: Dallas Thomas, Dolphins (-7.2) and Matt Tobin, Eagles (-6.7)
Same game alert! One QB hit and six QB hurries allowed by Thomas, so not a great day there. But he surrendered four run stops and a couple other disruptive plays, and that led to a -5.2 run block grade, worst among guards. On the other side, Tobin allowed a hit and four hurries, and also struggled blocking the run, posting grades below -3.0 in both categories, the only guard this week to do that.
Defensive interior – tackle: Earl Mitchell, Dolphins (-4.9)
Mitchell actually posted a positive grade when rushing the passer, so that just shows how poorly he played against the run. A -5.7 grade in that aspect, Mitchell failed to record a single stop—or even a tackle. He was consistently blocked out of plays by the Eagles’ interior line. He was basically the very definition of invisible in this game for the Dolphin
It seems we have at least one guy on this list every week!
That’s not what I saw in Mitchell. We shut the Eagles running game down. 36-83 2.3 tells the real story.
He clogged the middle and yes he did have a tackle so that report is the equivalent of this…
what happened to your girl Rhonda.
I’m disappointed with stills. Piggy wanted us to throw to him more and we did and he dropped the ball.
At lease we had one guy show up in the “Best players from week 10”
Edge rushers: Olivier Vernon, Dolphins (+6.8) and Justin Houston, Chiefs (+8.9)
It was a monster day for Vernon, who landed a massive six hits on the quarterback. Over in Denver, the Chiefs’ Houston was having himself a day as well, with 10 quarterback disruptions highlighting his impact.
‘I think a lot of it is coming down to play-calling as it has many times this year.’
D,
i think most here if not all agree with this. we all have an opinion if it is tanny or the o line that hurts the offense, but i think the real culprit is lozar. his play calling does nothing to help tanny’s or the o lines weaknesses and more so exploits them. it seems to me every time they line up with tanny under center and two te’s and hand the ball to miller they gain 6 or 7 yards, yet they do that once or twice a game. just poor play calling
Even Rich Gannon said we should utilize RT’s mobility more.

do you mean the nfl receiving rules or the nfl against the pats receiving rules?
the pats do get all the calls.
i was watching the cheats game with my son last night. he would say they may lose. and my response to him, ‘the nfl is not going to let them lose this year’ then that bs call on the td and my son says ‘ok, maybe you have a point’
The receiving rule is so stupid. The ball cannot move until you do a pirouette followed by a curtsy.
tim,
i did hear him say that. heard him also say a couple times that tanny needed to check out of that play. i know it has been discussed on here but i wonder if tanny is allowed to audible or if he just doesnt know when to check out of a bad play.
either way the bottom line is the play calling sucks. like ajaya looking good on one drive then you hardly see him again the rest of the game.
Tim Knight says:
November 16, 2015 at 12:58 pm
The receiving rule is so stupid. The ball cannot move until you do a pirouette followed by a curtsy.
yep, and the other bs about the call. they kept saying you need two feet in bound. and i watched that replay at least 10 times and came to find out that two feet in bostonian language means you have to catch the ball on one side of the endzone complete at least 17 jumping jacks to show you have both feet down and in bound
And that tipped Ball into the endzone right to Landry. The Football Gods were with us yesterday cause 99 out of 100 times in the past that ball goes to the Defenders
HELL YEAH!!!
And along the same theme about rules, I know it ultimately worked out in our favor, but how is that not a fumble recovery by Vernon? He had possession of the ball and took a couple steps before it was dislodged. It should have been a fumble and recovery for Philly. Huge call in our favor. I didn’t even understand the explanation the ref on TV gave. They’ve screwed up the rules so much, nobody knows how plays should be called…which is exactly what the NFL wants….ambiguity…so they can make any call they want and fans have no idea if it’s the “right” call or not.
The talking heads said that the rule on the recovery was the same as for a reception that they still can’t really figure out……that sorta explained the mystery at least.
I thought it was sorta of funny though — when was the last time you rooted for the refs to determine that your team DID NOT recover a fumble?
They’re so inconsistent with making calls.
Still LOL @ Peyton Manning. They stop the game to salute & award him the ball when he got that last remaining yards to pass Brett Favre. He then gets benched later in the same game for going 5/20 25% comp 0 TD 4 INT’s & 0.0 QBR 😯
He was injured going in and at least aggravated what he already had in the game.
I call that guts……if maybe a bit deluded on what he could get done.
randy,
i agree with you that the nfl wants ambiguity. however, with the call vernon i thought it was like you said at first. that he recovered it then fumbled it. but on replay then i thought he never had possession while take the two steps. it looked like the ball was moving. but even if they did call that it would have just been philly ball with the holding penalty. not like it was the game changer that magically went in the cheats favor again.
not like it was the game changer that magically went in the cheats favor again.
Don’t get me started on that one! unsportsmanlike penalty for “batting” the ball forward.!! First Down New England. That was such a travesty! I am angry all over again!
Rock what’s it matter? Pats are going to the playoffs with a bye anyhow.
I have no clue what “possession” means anymore.
It is a mental instability issue, mostly bi-polar / schizophrenia that is mistaken by illiterate people as the devil taking over someone’s body.

Lol. Funny.
Anyone notice the DL hit Tanny in the face mask and side of the helmet on a rush? I thought you can’t hit a QB in the head or it’s a automatic 15 yard penalty?
One thing that made me angry;
That possession just before the half I guess, 54sec and we hit Mathews for 20+ thirty yards?
and we call T/O
I knew that drive was doomed then as we never run a successful play after burning a Time Out.
How much clock did we even use on that failure, They got the ball beck with at least 30sec
Look at Brady in that last minute drive, not wasting his T/O and casually strolling back to the line to run another play, not even spiking the ball.
That first quarter may have been the worst 15 minutes of football I’ve seen us play in years…all three phases. Thank goodness philly couldn’t do anything after that quarter. That game was a tough watch. Take the win and run!
Gotta love a win that looked like it wouldn’t be. But it would be unfair not to credit those who made it happen.
After the 1st quarter I thought our defense stepped up and played with pride lead by Suh. But that’s a game we usually lose so just enjoy it and move on. LOL
Great speech by Mancampbell. I really want this guy to stick as our permanent HC!!!

NFL rule 3:54. An quarterback is allowed to be hit while in the pocket by an opposing linemen any where above the knee upon releasing a pass. Unless the quarterback plays for the New England Patriots which in that case if the opposing defender is with in 2 yards of the quarterback it is a 15 yard penalty and automatic ejection.
The hit by Mosley with certainty was not roughing the passer. He hit him hard but it was clean, right after Bradford released the ball and in the torso region they require the hit to land. Was 0 wrong with that hit. Cost us a int/turnover.
I think that PFF just looks at a player and if a play went through their spot and if they did its a negative play. Neither Mitchell or Thomas had as much responsibility on those plays as they are apparently giving them credit for. Thomas for sure had a few plays where he looked bad. One play, the sack they are crediting to him, was indeed on him and he practically looked like he had roller skates on he glided back so fast. Mitchell looked ok imo. I dont really see why he received such a poor overall grade.
‘ I really want this guy to stick as our permanent HC!!!’
you want a guy who has no experience and has been horribly out coached by two afc east coaches. listen, i like the guy too and glad for him but i want them to get a real coach with some head coaching experience.
Stanger, Bradford was well on his way to losing the game as well. I actually thought the pick by Jones was more him than a bad throw by Sanchez.
Bradford was 19 of 25 for 236 and a TD and wasn’t tripping his RBs as if it was on purpose.
Yeah but he looked really shaky a bunch of times that I was surprised he got some of those off.
He still had a 118 QB rating though…….just not sure how he can be dogged for his performance. Think he doesn’t get hurt and we lose.
D,
i missed that play mosley. i was just having fun with the missed roughing the passer on tanny.
It was BS, he hit him as he released the ball. Yet Tanny got hit in the face and on the side of the helmet and no call.
gdp
New leader? Where’s his leadership been for 4 years? Lol
***
As for Campbell as our HC next year, he hasn’t proven much of anything so far. I would be willing to bet he has no shot at being our HC next season…although they’ll say he was given consideration. He was a sacrificial lamb when he was named interim HC. He has looked lost and confused on the sidelines so far. I really see no reason to give him a head coaching job here. Emotional speeches after games seems to be about the only thing he’s given this team so far. If Philbin was still our coach, people would be ripping him a new asshole today for how “unprepared and flat” this team looked in the first half.

You also can’t “launch yourself leaving your feet” which the guy who hit him in the blind side did. We came out with a win, but the selective calling of these types of plays infuriate me.
Good point. Yeah that hit shook him up a bit but man RT is as tough as they come.

Rob, think outside your lil box!
As I’ve said before, Campbell is very much HC material as much as many others currently employed around the league.
He motivates, he is a natural leader, his players seem very loyal to him. He’ll refine his clock management skills and a few other minor things.
But what has hamstrung him & the rest of the team on game day is the lack of ‘experienced’ savvy Coordinators.
Imagine the likes of Norv Turner & Wade Phillips types as our Coordinators!
I’ve said it a dozen times. Get Campbell the Coordinators he wants and watch this team go!
Randy, the reply above here is for you too!
D
Pay no mind to PFF. Their evaluations are worthless most of the time. I’m shocked that people still pay any attention to them. Thomas had some bad plays. I still don’t like his footwork and balance, but his overall performance yesterday was not a bad one. I thought Albert and Turner both had a worse game. Albert appeared to miss several assignments, and Turner whiffed on several plays and had two false starts…even if they weren’t costly in terms of field position. And in Mitchell, I have no idea what they were watching. I thought he had a solid game….not spectacular but not bad by any stretch.
***
With that said, do ya think we’re gonna see every team from here on out throwing routes to their TEs more often? We were getting our asses handed to us in that area. Guys were open by 10 yards!
The receptions by the TE’s had me flashing back to last year, and the year before, and the year before that, and……well you get the point. We have been terrible covering the TE’s for 4-5 years straight.
So has 90% of the league. Every fan I know says the same thing about their team. LOL
None. But I have thrown a whole lot less interceptions as well!
gdp
I just haven’t seen anything in Campbell to suggest he’s HCing material. Anybody can simply hire good coordinators….if it were that easy. That doesn’t make for a good HC. I’m not rooting against the guy, but I also see no need to put the cart before the horse. There’s plenty of time to figure out the HC situation. I’d go after Sean Payton in a heartbeat. I think he would jumpstart this offense immediately.
***
Lunch is over….later fellas.
Sean Payton? The one that’s sucking big time the past few years with Brees as his QB?
payton doesn’t know anything about defense. The saints defense this year is historically bad. No thanks.
Randy, I saw the same thing with Mitchell, he helped clog the middle. We shut down their run game 36-83 2.3.
I’d go after Sean Payton in a heartbeat. I think he would jumpstart this offense immediately.
The Sean Payton being done in N.O. rumor started pretty early this year, but is seems to be picking up steam. If Sean Payton does come available I would jump on it in a second.
‘Rob, think outside your lil box!’
lmao, says the guy pulling for a non experience head coach all because he is a good cheerleader. ok, well i guess i cant keep up with your expanded thinking. i only think inside a box (and just so you know that is impossible. there isnt a man alive that is thinking when in the box) so i will leave it up to you to pull for the cheerleader.
Not pulling for him cause he’s just a cheerleader…but keep running with that narritive….it makes for fun gags & guffaws from you.
“Think he doesn’t get hurt and we lose.”
Stanger, I completely agree. Bradford would have gotten them into FG range at least once to seal the game, and most likely would have scored a TD before then.
Most likely, shoulda, coulda, blah blah blah.
Did anyone notice we’ve lost starters before this game and had even more injuries during the game that cost us players? SMH
I think he was starting to play worse. He was looking shaky as they continued to punt series after series.
I think it’s time to back to a defensive HC. We’ve had better success with them and not so much with the offensive HCs.
Don’t really think it matters overall as long as we get a coach that motivates the players and plays fundamental football. When you see teams playing good fundamental football you see those teams be successful.
Yeah I get that, but I’m feeling we should go defensive coach. I’d rather have a defensive mentality and have him hire a quality OC who isn’t a cutesy play caller. 😉

well no. first i like my cheerleaders to be female or at least big green and hulky. and second, told you i like the guy. i just think he has been put in something that is way over his head. and you cant hire guys turner and philips, both with head coaching experience and ask them to come work for some one that has no experience at it. it just doesnt work that way. in a perfect scenario, he would pick up enough throughout the remainder of the season to be a HC. but this isnt disney, it is the newendland football league.
Norv Turner works under 1st time HC Zimmer right?
I think the Vikes are in 1st place BTW.
Zimmer had a lot of respect as a DC though.
I agree and its unfortunate for him. Rizzi is pretty much doing the HC duties right now and Campbell kinda is the cheerleader. I don’t think through the end of the season gets him ready at this point in his career, buy they may be willing to give him more chance for on the job training if he pulls a miracle out of his ass. I personally agree with FFR though and just don’t think he is ready for it. OC sure HC not so much.
i would take payton or smith as the next head coach. and yeah both come with issues, but pretty sure there isnt a HC out there that has won every game they ever coached. every coach is going to come with issues. you guys act like there is some perfect solution out there. like the same way you look at the qb position. there just isnt a lot of rodger’s or brady’s out there just like there isnt a lot of HC with no question marks
Yeah there are, they have jobs as HCs and aren’t going anywhere lol
Well based on your statement here, surely the imperfect Campbell can be a solid HC for Miami. 🙄
‘I personally agree with FFR’
oh well, just a warning, it is all down hill from here.
I know right?
LMAO, ya claimed another innocent victim.
LOL, D why would Campbell be qualified for a OC job but not HC right now. Doesn’t make a ton of sense.
He’s already HC here and 3-2.
Because he is familiar with playcalliing and I’m sure has a decent mind for successful offensive play design. He doesn’t however have a lot of ability in game managemen. Rizzi has had to take charge almost every time a ref needs to be challenged or when crucial timeouts etc need to be called

if you dont know the difference from a coordinator jump to HC vs a TE’s coach to HC then there isnt a need to keep up this discussion.
Some guys have it some don’t….the unemployment line is full of them, or they go back to coach in college, HS, or back as asst coaches.
Eric Atherton @PBeatherton Nov 8
Bridgewater and Wallace have zero chemistry. Hard to figure. They just always seem to be on different pages.#Vikings
It’s still Tanny’s fault he could connect deep with Da Kid…..lol
Not hard to figure at all. 😉
Gd also as a set of stages where you build skills to the next one he hasn’t even learned to manage half the team much less the whole team
Well, he was picked to be HC for 12 games at the least…not Rizzi, not Coyle, & not Lazor.
Must have been a reason besides, ‘Hey, lets put the schmuck TE coach in a HC and laugh our asses off everyweek until we got the 1st pick in the draft’.
Mr. T & Ross knew with 12 games left they could possibly get a WC spot or at least compete.
D
but at least look at like this. it is down hill but at the end you will have so much momentum going that you wont simply slide into the grave but hit it full tilt going a 100mph and screaming move over you satanic piece of shit i am running this place now
Too bad they didn’t connect a punch to his tiny-earred big melon:

I don’t think the decision on Campbell as HC can be made right now. I think we’re gonna wait until the end of year.
This was a big win though. It was a signature win against a team that everyone thought we were going to lose.
I agree if we keep campbell there should be changes to both offensive and defensive scheme.
Hey, someone gets it. Right on.
Not right now, but it will have to be made.
Guessing they will want to make it clear by say mid-Dec.
That will let them feel out the big guys out there and be in the top pack.
Also means these next games are real important for Coach Rambo.

not sure how you got that out of my statement. i wish he would be, would be nice if it worked out that way, but just my opinion, i dont think it is going to happen.

Hi getterdone.
My name is stanger.
Welcome to the blog.
Let me tell you what is about…… 🙂
Gotta love the doom n gloom even after a Win on the road….LOL smh
It’s not gloom and doom to call a spade a spade.
Just reality.
Him getting injured is not like saying, “if only so and so had broke that one.”

i heard ISIS on friday night say, “who us? nope we were sleeping but i would check on that QB down in miami. I bet he had something to do with the bombings”
I meant to say couldn’t hit Wallace….but LOL, funny blaming Tanny for terrorism….although Lauren does carry an AR-15 in her trunk, Hmmm. 😯
I think for Campbell to remain as HC he has to go 4-3 minimum the rest of the way.
so 8-8 which means campbell went 7-5. I can see him sticking with a 7-5 record but i bet he won’t be the only one in the running. I bet they’ll go through the full hiring process with interviewing other candidates.
Yeah he’d likely have to layout his blue print for moving forward and what his evaluation of the team is.

not sure where that comes from. i havent seen any doom n gloom.
Beat this turd Sunday & Campbell will be well on his way. 😀
He da Man!
Stanger, so Bradford got hurt, big deal….he wasn’t lighting it up that much before hand, and we lost Wake a few weeks ago, Grimes was out, Aikens got hurt, Jenkins, and on and on, so how am I to feel we got away with one?
He was 19 of 25 for 236 and a TD with a 118 QB rating and Sanchez was tripping his running backs. And for sure the “what if” game can go on and on…….but that’s a pretty big one to play in it.
Because of like three passes.
Rough math — but he still had like a 77% completion rate going. And I’m sure what you saw what the score was when he got hurt.
You guys can argue about Dan Campbell, PFF, the catch rule . . .
I’m chillin’ watching Bob Ross. 🙂

Why is Coors a “Banquet” ? That never made any sense to me….
It’s a fancy word for dinner!

But Tim, in those three passes he showed that he could complete a pass to a WIDE OPEN tight end. More than Snatcheese could do.
Soooooo Coor’s slogan is to have beer for dinner instead of food? (not that I haven’t from time to time, but that is just not good advise or advertising.) LOL
I think they’re trying to say beer is elegant enough to have with a nice dinner, just like a bottle of wine.
I think you owe Donald Trump $1.42 for the use of the word “elegant” I think he has a monopoly on that word after the last debate. Everything from that debate was so elegant…..

Pay no mind to PFF. Their evaluations are worthless most of the time. I’m shocked that people still pay any attention to them. Thomas had some bad plays. I still don’t like his footwork and balance, but his overall performance yesterday was not a bad one. I thought Albert and Turner both had a worse game. Albert appeared to miss several assignments, and Turner whiffed on several plays and had two false starts…even if they weren’t costly in terms of field position. And in Mitchell, I have no idea what they were watching. I thought he had a solid game….not spectacular but not bad by any stretch.
***
With that said, do ya think we’re gonna see every team from here on out throwing routes to their TEs more often? We were getting our asses handed to us in that area. Guys were open by 10 yards!
———————————
I think we will get tested. Major part of it i think was Jenkins going out. Misi is and has been a liability in coverage. He on his best game is average at best covering TE’s. Sheppard doesnt seem great at it either, and then Jenkins who is our best coverage LB was replaced by a rookie. We tightened up some later int he game so maybe it was just a matter of Hewitt making some adjustments, but yes, i think it exposed a weakness and other teams are going to attack it.
I also agree Albert was uncharacteristically bad, and Turner played the worst of all the OL, but i dont think he was in particular awful either. Those are some brutal DT’s and LB’s they have so its not shocking to me we struggled some, a lot of teams struggle against those guys.
Bradford is awesome! Or was it that no one on defense could find Celek in his invisible uni?
FU……lol.
Point was he’s better than the hotdog guy.
And you want to play what if? How about a 32 yard miss by an ex-Phin kicker in a game we won by one……….maybe he’s still on the payroll. 🙂
Lets not degrade to FU’s please. It’s all good. Glad we won.
I put the lol in after and you know what site we are on. Haven’t said such in earnest in years.
Stanger, the score was 16-13 when Bradford went down and they hadn’t scored on multiple drives. We took the lead on the drive right after he got hurt. Bradford was already folding and getting knocked around.
Good point. Could the concussion have happened earlier?
Possibly but he was definitely getting gun shy and was afraid of Suh. LOL
Trump better not win the republican ticket, that will ensure Hillary is our next president.
THAT, would NOT be elegant!

——————————————-
GD he was chosen because of his cheerleading. He has a firey attitude and he is polar opposite of Philbin. They knew he would bring excitement to the team but they knew, as should we all, that its a pipe dream to think that he salvages the mess our team was in,. What they did know is it wouldnt look at all like the same mess Philbin made, so regaldless of wins or losses, we wouldnt be the same embrassment. This is not a declaration of he deserves to be the next HC and we think he will be, its a declaration of no one else being able to make the team look as grossly different. I think Rizzi wound up being a strong candidate and i think he was damn near the choice. I think the major difference is Rizzi could help Dan with the heavy lifting and Dan meanwhile could keep asses in seats with his attitude.
Im not saying your man crush is shitty coach, im saying i think he is a HC in the making, but i dont think he has made it yet, and as such if he gets the job there will need to be patience and an attitude like we dont care if we postpone the playoffs another year to let him get his feet. I think this not because he sucks, but because he is playing catch up on skills a normal candidate would have earned progressing through the ranks as a assistant, to a position coach, to a coord, to a HC. GD you are being a little M13 about Campbell, but i understand why you like him and i have the optimistic side of me thats pulling for him too.
