Game Day. It’s about damn time! To make matters worse, the football scheduling gods have determined that we have to wait an additional 3 hours 5 minutes to begin the season. I don’t know about anyone else but I think this offseason has been the longest by far. We have a new coaching staff, some new players, and a brand new season that’s going to go by way too fast. Hopefully we are enjoying every minute of it.
LETS GO DOLPHINS!!!!
Finsmob Unleashed 
Let’s go Dolphins! Limit our turnovers and create theirs and we have a chance.
GO DOLPHINS !

GO PHINS!!!
Miami 16_14
I think we get a TD and 3 FGs and they get a TD and 2 FGs.
Maybe I’m naive, but I don’t fear Kearse or Locket as receivers able to win the game for them.
Jimmy Graham is still beat up and maybe 80%. Rawls is limping.
Can Wilson scrambling as their second leading rusher beat us? Can Baldwin get 14 TDs again this year? Starting with 2 or 3 against us? I really hope not.
But Wilson must throw 3 TDs and break loose for at least 3 heart-breaking long runs for them to score 20+.
They have a crummy OL on paper.
I have a very ugly out come but I will stick with my miracle score today.
FUGLY!
STEP it up TANNY!!
GO PHINS!!!
Never forget.
Go Phins!!!
Its game day bitches!
Damnit I was going to say that!
I’ll say it anyway
I’TS GAME DAY BITCHES
It looks better in caps.
Except my Clumsy thumb put the apostrophe in the wrong place
Anyone who doesn’t stand for the national anthem today is a total POS in my opinion.
Ditto!
agreed.
But Wilson must throw 3 TDs and break loose for at least 3 heart-breaking long runs for them to score 20+.
They have a crummy OL on paper.
The only thing Wilson is going to break is his throwing shoulder when Suh slams into the ground
Anyone who doesn’t stand for the national anthem today is a total POS in my opinion.
This guys strongly disagrees with your opinion
Seattle made a very honorable choice to stand in unity instead of sit down in division. Props to them.
Rock, no he doesn’t. I think that guy would insist on being helped to his feet. That guy like any others in his position would continue to suffer his own pain for respect to be paid to thus country. I get your point and I know you aren’t disagreeing, but truth is the only one who wants to remain seated is people have and never would sacrifice like this man has
Haven’t
Anyone who doesn’t stand in honor of the country they live in, for the country who provides them the opportunity to rise to the level these guys have risen to, with so many other ways to make statements, is a POS no matter the day or event.
I’ve mentioned the sacrifice my grandfather made for this country before and I won’t suffer these little entitled pricks not honoring their sacrifice.
Oh the irony
The irony of freedom to do what ya want protecting them to do this or gthe irony of people not wanting them to express their disgust by using those freedoms to do it. I see both sides but again, there are ways to accomplish both by targeting the problem. This country isn’t the problem.
Something should be done about the college ranking system. Texas was unranked last week. They beat number 10 Notre Dame, who had no reason being ranked so high. Texas them moves from unranked to number 11…..wtf. Conversely, Notre Dame only drops 8 points for lodging to an unranked Texas team…again WTF. UTenn dropped 9 points even though they won their game. UF dropped even though they won 24-7….again wtf. The system is broke and full of bias. Ridiculousness
You can’t be serious. Texas is going to be a tough out every week, they deserve that ranking, and I’m not a Texas fan.
You wanna talk about over ranked, how bout Clemson.
Who’s Oinky
COME ON DOLPHINS!! “SHOCK” the world.
Looking at the fantasy projections on the right side of every football broadcast right now, the #D is Seattle, the # QB is Russel Wilson
10.5 pnt underdogs.
LET’S GO DOLPHINS!! STAND THE FUCK UP TODAY!
I was kind of Oinky this morning, but then I took a long shower.
Just think you could have gotten all that oinkyness out of you system with you androgenous coffee friend you mentioned couple days ago. 2 to appreciate the 6’s just keep reminding yourself.
1 test 1
yeah, my one button works. Why did #1 not show up above?
Because hash in some cases it interpreted as code comments which are hidden. Not sure but could be it
Oinky doesn’t just wash off Rock
No, but it will “rub out” LOL
I would go there but I dont want to be perceived as a racist.
omg I just saw Tony Gonzalez’s Russell Wilson analysis … made me want to change my pick from 16-13 us to 37-10 Seattle.
then I saw Boomer Esiason’s and Tony Gonzalez’s game-day look at our game and took away our 10 points.
A NIGHT AT THE NEWLY RENOVATED STADIUM.
—————————————————————-
A fellow FAU alum called me three days ago and said he had two really nice tickets for the Miami-Florida Atlantic game at Rock Head Stadium. “One has your name on it,” he said. –So, despite the fact my wife is on the DL with another lower back injury (two prior major surgeries), I received her permission to go to the game. “I’ll deal with walking the 3 dogs as best I can,” she said.
The 250 mile drive from north Tampa to Boca Raton was uneventful and filled with classic rock music (one of my passions in life). I arrived a bit early. “Bob” said I’m going to take you to a really fine Cuban style restaurant, and the whole thing is on me, so don’t even THINK of trying to pay for any of this. This very busy restaurant was typically south Florida. Dozens of different nationalities in a building to do two things: eat outrageously good food and talk football, AMERICAN football, I might add. There were many U of Miami jerseys seen and a few FAU shirts, too, along with FSU, Florida and some others. “Cosmopolitan on steroids” was my reaction. I just love the mix. That’s what the real America is all about.
We headed to the stadium, entering from the west side entrance on 27th Avenue. I have NEVER BEFORE entered from this side, entering instead from the east side from the Florida Turnpike.–It was a madhouse, a human sea, wherein we barely moved for 30+ minutes before FINALLY getting to our prescribed area. Except for the Super Bowl and a few games in the Orange Bowl, I HAVE NEVER SEEN SUCH A CONCENTRATED MASS OF HUMANITY IN MY LIFE!! – – And even an old fart like ME couldn’t help but notice the thousands of young ladies, scantily clad, smiling at many of the passers by. Clearly the parking attendants were ill-prepared to handle the onslaught!–After about 45 minutes, we finally got to our reserved parking area.
The first thing I did was go to my newly located Dolphin seats. The view WAS SPECTACULAR!! –REALLY looking forward to joining Young Stanger at the Browns game!! –I looked straight up in the air and came to the conclusion (later verified by a passing shower) that if it rains hard we are not under cover). As for the “shade effect,” we are right on the edge of that, depending on the angle of the sun and the month. However, that said, it WAS cooler because so much of the sunlight was blocked from entering the stadium formerly known as “Sun Baked!” However, this was a 6 O’Clock start. Not sure exactly what things will be like, sun-wise, for a 1 O’Clock kickoff. My seats are on the northeast side, about the 27 and 28 yard line, 30 rows up. That’s roughly the equivalent of being 20 rows up under the old configuration (about 10 rows of seating were added, closer to the field). I have a clear, unobstructed, view of both end zones. And the new jumbotrons are truly spectacular–like watching the game at home on your big screen TV. So when the dummies walk in front of you during a play, you’ll still have the option of looking to a screen rather than threatening fans who block your view. I DO still wish the NFL would adopt the NHL rule that NO ONE can enter or leave their row while the play is ON!! –Jackasses!!!
AMBIENCE: The SWAGGER has returned, full blast, to Miami football. But no one was the least bit nasty to us FAU alums. WE were seated in row 19 at the 5 yard line in the south west corner. We were out numbered about 20-1 by UM fans in that section. AND they were ULTRA NOISY.–Speaking of NOISE, the new stadium configuration makes the place about 50 per cent noisier than before. THIS IS GREAT NEWS FOR DOLPHIN FANS, at least the ones who bother to show up! Let’s RESTORE THE ROAR!!!
FOOD PRICES: Above average for the NFL, and that’s saying something. However, you have a very wide range of food selections to choose from. Best deal I found was a 20 oz. Bud Light for $8 (no Coor’s Light 20 ouncers in our area). So I bought 1 beer! Most of the other beers were in the $10-$16 each range. By the way, this college facility DOES SELL ALCOHOL, unlike many college stadiums, including Florida Field at Ben Hill Griffin Stadium.
ATTENDANCE: Many chose to watch the game from the dozens of bars and food places around the stadium, a trait that I find a bit odd, but to each his own. While I believe over 60,000 tickets may have been sold (65,000 capacity) only about 45,000 were actually in their seats during much of the game. The crowd was noisy, but peaceful. Some were dressed in totally outrageous garb. Others were wearing the absolute minimum!! What a cross-section of humanity!! –The expensive “LAZY BOY SEATS” were mostly vacant when I looked at them, one trend that remains unchanged from last year.
THE GAME: FAU actually controlled the clock for most of the first half, trailing only 7-3 with just over a minute left. But UM scored a touchdown in the waning moments, giving them a 14-3 half time lead. QB Jason Driskel looked like Ryan Tannehill trying to avoid an overwhelming pass rush most of the game. This is to Miami’s credit—their defense was TRULY OUTSTANDING!! I now believe “the U” is one of the top 20 teams in the country. AS for FAU, 8 players, including Driskel, were helped off the field in the first 3 quarters. Some returned. Some did NOT. FAU still lacks enough top quality depth to play with the top 20 teams in the country. But they are a better team than they were last year at this point in the season, which is progress. However, they are seriously over matched by Kansas State, who they will play in Manhattan, Kansas, 6 days from now. I expect this beat-up FAU team to lose big to a quality K-State team that has had a bye week to prepare for the Owls.
FINAL THOUGHTS: STEVE ROSS’S upgraded edifice has passed the first test in my opinion. I was truly pleased with MOST of what I saw. However, there were a few snafus, not the least of which was the new ticket readers they used for this game (the readers could NOT easily read many valid tickets, to the consternation of many fans, including your’s truly. And there was NOT nearly enough of a police presence in the parking areas, something that will alarm my wife and keep her from attending. Tailgaters did NOT stay within the marked off boundaries, thus blocking the movement of cars into their prescribed areas. HOPEFULLY, complaint from UM season ticket holders will force Ross to clean up the mess in the west parking lot area in time for the Fins home opener against Cleveland later this month.
This may have been your best post ever, but you just couldn’t leave Ross out of it, therefore SOS. Not sure what Ross has to do with policing a UM game.
He approves the hiring of security through his stadium manager. If security is below acceptable standards the blame ultimately falls to the owner of the facility. And that’s Steve Ross.
Lol, you’re just making shit up.
THAT”S RIGHT, Steve, I made this all up. There’ve never been any security issues with the stadium. However, if you want to keep your teeth, don’t tell that to my wife.
Football is on

GO PHINS!!!
Saints D looks good. I guess you get rid of Rob Ryan and all is well.
I picked them over Oakland straight up.
I think Las Vegas errr Oakland Raiders prevail.
What does Gase have up his sleeve?
How bout VJ?
Who will be the standout players for the Phins today?
Would be nice to see Foster do a CJ Anderson on the Seabuzzards.
Both Raiders and Saints not kicking for touchbacks.
And it’s working.
Brian Cushing injured in 1st qtr of 1st game
Some things never change
Lots of college games had blowouts yesterday, I clouding the game I tried to watch NV VS ND. Seems over matched teams come out too fired up, then, once things settle down their wad has already been blown, and they get crushed. I hope that doesn’t happen to us today.
Saints strong start on D didn’t last too long.
Lol at RG3, 3 for 5 for 8 yards
Mike Wallace 66 yd Rd. Pos
I saw
Great way to grow from Flacco
He might do well with Flacco
His kind of qb
I still don’t like him 😣
That’s good, they’re playing Bills.
You guys can relax on the anthem sitting stuff
Appea entry the plan for the Seahawks (not the Dolphins as far as I know) is to interlock arms “in unity”
The Chiefs did it today already
Cool!
I pointed that out earlier Piggy.
Oinks to you
I’m hungover so I’m a little slow
Mike Wallace hauled in 10 TD’s passes from Tanny, could’ve had more if not for his dropsies and laziness competing for the catch.
His laziness andquit on balls and the team is why I still dislike him
He sucked last year. Who cares! LOL
And may he continue to suck😀
Wow Chargers really putting it to KC
Miller has 75 yards so far. 80 all purpose
That’s working out well for us
(A tear falls from Piggys eye)
Hopefully Foster and the rook today makes us forget him
My point about Texas wasn’t that they didn’t deserve recognition, but from unranked to 11th Steve, that’s just plain stupid.
All I have to say about Wallace is I didn’t want to sign him in the first place
I wanted to draft samurai
Hey look we got Justin Hunter in our team now
(Piggy bows)
Hopkins with a TD
(A tornado spins behind Piggy)
https://twitter.com/xmasape/status/775026550945132545
I guess we’re going to have a Miller watch all season. LOL
Oh yeah that will be much monitored and reported i’m sure
I have him on my fantasy team, I’m watching already
I’m playing against him right now. I’m talking about constant Miller updates though. 😉
Didn’t know it was gonna butt hurt, people. Just thought y’all might care to know, and as I said I’m already watching
Joking man. Geez!
No worries. It’s nice to know
Miller has 12 rushes…time to shut him down now.
15-83 thus far 1st half.
Damn Tim, are you gonna be watching Miller’s every move now? 😉
Cl doing in on CJ Anderson Lee adding total for the week so far😀
He’ll get over 20 today, and for the next few weeks, then we’ll start to see the durability issues.
Rishard Matthews has 1 catch on 1 target for 11 yards.
We don’t have a run blocking OL, so what Miller does in yardage is irrelevant.
LOL @ GD
Tim’s getting excited for 4:05! 🙂
Does Timmy like Elaine😉
LOL
And the Texans are losing to a bad Bears team, so what does Miller’s presence really mean?
Brian must be freaking out that Miller has 83 yards
The 15 rushes in the 1st half is the key.
How many rushes do you think he finishes with? 20-25 or more?
I’d say 25 or more.
DOLPHINS INACTIVES: WR DeVante Parker, QB Brandon Doughty, RB Isaiah Pead, RB Jay Ajayi, C Mike Pouncey, G Dallas Thomas, DL Terrence Fede.
I’m crushed that Dallas Thomas isn’t playing, but not as crushed as the SEA defense. lol
LOL
LOL
No doubt Urbik suits up today as he plays all 3 interior positions and Pouncey is out. What it does tell us is that Turner is ahead of Thomas on the depth chart.
Game Day, finally. Seattle has tons of injuries… so…
MIA 23-17 Howie.
Hope you’re right bud!
Lots of Raiders fans at the game in Nola, they travel well says the announcers. Why do they have to travel well, what if they live there?
Alright Rhino! Go MIAMI!
Tim
I would bet that once Pouncey is back, Steen is ahead of both Turner, Thomas and Urbik
Agreed, I think that’s how it’s set up. Urbik is dressed today to back up Steen and could play guard.
Blair Walsh has all of Minny’s points after hitting 2-4 FG’s….lol
“The first thing I did was go to my newly located Dolphin seats. The view WAS SPECTACULAR!!”
OD — ain’t that good to hear. We’ll have to do a toast to Stephen R for those at the Brown’s game. 🙂
Keenan Allen may have a torn ACL
(Piggy throws his sword in a river)
Oh wow that sucks!!! My good friend was so happy he landed him in our league too. He lost Jordy Nelson last year.
Sucks for Rivers….ugh
On one my team’s too. Grrrrrr
Hopefully we don’t have to see Urbik on the field.
No! Except to step in during a stinger or a guy needs to catch his breath. OL does use some depth during a game but it may only be 6-8 snaps for each backup.
Mariotta just threw a horrible pick six to Kendricks
Poserboy Sean Smith just gets beat by Brandon Cooks for 98 yard TD😂
Brandon Cooks (a second edition Samurai) just scored a long TD
Falcons stink after that great early season start last year for Dan Quinn.
I drafted Devonta Freeman in the 3rd RD in my FF league, and he ain’t doing anything. I was very happy I got him there too, and my bud told me he was taking him with his next pick, which one slot later than my pick.
Yeah, laying a turn @ home vs the Bucs isn’t a good sign.
Coleman has had a few good plays instead
Jax hanging around with the Pack.
Keep throwing Rodgers. 🙂
Bengals take lead
Yessss! I needed that!
Piggy, if you lost Allen, go pick up Travis Benjamin. He’s the #1 now for Rivers.
I have him as a depth guy.
lucky you. He almost hit 1,000 yds with Browns… can you imagine what he might do as the #1 on SD!
He’s now behind Julio Jones, Odell Beckham and Alshon Jeffrey.
Mike E. says:

Yep, I’ve got him too. I’d be doing a lot better with my bench. 😦
Toba
I took Tevin Coleman in the 15th RD, I think he was my last pick
And I am sure his draft status reflects his status on her team 😀
Ugh!
http://dailydolphin.blog.palmbeachpost.com/2016/09/11/espn-arian-foster-other-dolphins-to-kneel-raise-fist-during-national-anthem/
Oh come on!!! So I guess I have to root for #’s instead of players. Please don’t do it!
AZ -9.5 vs cheats
Houston take the lead
I’m ALREADY cheering for NFC in these inter-conference games… (planning ahead for Fins wild card LOL).
Good thinking
That’s what I do every year game 1, mixed in with those teams that need to get home field from the cheats.
Miller now 21 for 87, seems when other RBs get stronger he gets weaker😉
Is THAT why his 2nd half touches dropped in Miami? lol Bring back Bazooka Joe. LOL
He wears down late.
So his last 6 for 4yds. Nice

I hope they call the O PI this year on the pick plays, the cheats bread and butter. They seemed to make a pt of doing it in PS.
I’m sickened the Dolphins are going to pull that shit. Fuck them. Fuck Foster, and any other Dolphins asshole who does that. Show some fucking respect on 9/11. POS assholes!
Yeah not happy about it at all.
Today not the day for that
It embarrasses me to be a fan of this team.
Watching Bruce Irvin today, I’m glad he left Seattle.
Really hoping Ajayi bounces back from being inactive so I don’t have to see Foster on the field, and hopefully, none of our stars are going to kneel, because I really don’t want to root for a player who will do this on 9/11. Just unfathomable to me that they can be so insensitive.
You root for #’s and don’t have to like anyone of the assholes. I really hope they don’t do it.
If Gase knows about it, I think he should make it clear that this will be not be acceptable to do today. Just tell them flat out, any form of protest should be kept in your back pocket for another time, this is NOT the time to do it.
What’s he going to do about it, bench them and chance losing the game? Tough spot for him.
Gase is saying he isn’t apposed to it.
Steve
If that’s the case, then I just lost a lot of respect for him too. Fuck him as well!
I just hope it’s a BS rumor & Foster and the rest do the right thing.
Gase’s first big test and it isn’t the Seahawks….smh!
Cincy driving to the NYJ 37….just need a FG for the WIN!
Yeah go Bengals!!!
Mariota sucks….glad we got Tanny!
Tim
It’s not a matter of threatening them with recourse, it’s making them understand this is not the time to protest, it’s too disrespectful today.
I don’t know who or what anyone is saying other than reports. We’ll see in a few minutes.
Bills lost
Woop woop and oink!
Bengals take 23 -22 lead over jests with 56 secs left
Go Fins! Enjoy the game everyone!
Fg good. Cindy up by 1

That was a flipping fumble
Yep!
Totally agree – The ambiguity of what a catch is is ridiculous
Do you guys consider taking a knee disrespectful?
Today, yes I most certainly do! STAND THE FUCK UP!
Yes it’s bullshit
