    I hate rooting for the jets.. But go jets 😬

    FFR:
    To win 6 in a row is not just one player it is improvement from the whole team but I do think Tannehill has improved as part of the general improvement the whole team has made

    I agree with this. His pocket “clock” in his head has improved.

    i think not just that, his movement in the pocket has seemed to improve too.

    And I agree they need some more defensive players. They are not going to get them this year, so I think winning builds confidence…building blocks.

    i agree with that. winning always helps the confidence of the players. i just want dominance. not saying they arent potentially headed there but i am just tired of waiting

  5. finfanrob's avatar finfanrob says:

    ken,

    i agree with they whole team improving and i think no were more then the play of the oline.

    yeah but just do what i do, dont root for the jets just root against the cheats

  7. Ken's avatar Ken says:

    We need our OL healthy for next week

    We need our OL healthy for next week

    and what are the chances of that? anyone know?

  10. stangerx's avatar stangerx says:

    Darn if they didn’t have to make it exciting at the end. That’s five straight like that.

  11. finfanrob's avatar finfanrob says:

    toba

    i am not smart enough to know why it has improved so i will just agree with you as to why his pocket presence has improved.

    besides if i did tell you a different reason i would have to hear for the rest of the year you apologizing all the time

  12. Ken's avatar Ken says:

    Barring a tie we should be the 6th seed after this weekend

  13. Ken's avatar Ken says:

    FFR:
    I believe Tunsil should be back by next week and hopefully we get one and maybe even both Pouncey and Albert back next week

  14. stangerx's avatar stangerx says:

    Stadium almost full today, and not many Niner fans. Funny how winning gets people to show up.

  15. manitobafinfan's avatar manitobafinfan says:

    And boom Patriots tie the game

  16. stangerx's avatar stangerx says:

    Games didn’t fall our way this week. Five teams with six wins (although either the Steelers or Ravens will win the AFC North).

    • Ken's avatar Ken says:

      But either KC or Denver will lose and that is all we need for the 6 seed. We will be in control of our own destiny

      • stangerx's avatar stangerx says:

        Imagine that…….in a playoff spot with five left. I’m going with Denver tonight. KC’s remaining games are tougher.

  17. finfanrob's avatar finfanrob says:

    so is the cheats a good team cause they are or are the a good team cause they are never penalized and get every break from the refs.

    speaking of which, has anyone ever seen a game where every critical close play gets over turned in the wrong way like the day against the fins

    Fuck Them … 😎

    why would you want to do something their qb would love so much

  19. Ken's avatar Ken says:

    Cam playing like shit today

  20. Ken's avatar Ken says:

    NE missing FG at end of half. All tied up at the half

  21. finfanrob's avatar finfanrob says:

    i would feel so much better about the fins if they just had an elite qb like cam newton

  22. finfanrob's avatar finfanrob says:

    ken,

    i think you meant this year and not today

  23. herdfan's avatar herdfan says:

    So my kids can’t decide on what kind of pizza so I’ve ordered from two different places. I’m thinking of it as a little race to see what gets here first.

    two pizza’s pretty sure i will be getting there first

  25. New Age's avatar New Age says:

    It was ugly but I’m really happy about Tannehill. He looked really good all game. The playcalling didn’t but he escaped the pocket, threw some really nice balls, and put the offense on his back most of the day. If Parker could have stayed in bounds on those two throws….he’s so talented when healthy.

  26. herdfan's avatar herdfan says:

    Ken says:
    November 27, 2016 at 6:01 pm (Edit)

    Sounds like a law suit waiting to happen

    You’ve pretty much captured my home environment right there.

  27. stangerx's avatar stangerx says:

    Tanny’s quarterback rating was 130.6 today.

  28. finfanrob's avatar finfanrob says:

    new age

    i agree about t hill. saw something today i am not sure we have ever seen. with a 24-14 lead he leads a scoring drive to go up 31-14 and what should have just been a score that put the game ways. instead the def does what it always does and shits the bed

  29. stangerx's avatar stangerx says:

    My big concern today was the D. 475 yards just doesn’t cut it. Yeah Kaep is a special runner, but have a feeling we will be seeing more designed QB runs down the road.

  30. naplesfan2010's avatar naplesfan2010 says:

    You can just see Tannehill figuring out how to make this Gase offense work and Gase figuring out how to use Tannehill and everybody else on the team at the same time.

  31. finfanrob's avatar finfanrob says:

    the officiating in the cheat jets game is just horrible. why even make the cheats play the game, just award them home field advantage thru out the playoffs. making them play and then giving them every call questions the integrity of the league

  32. Brian in NY's avatar Brian in NY says:

    Sounds like Parker will play next week. We need 2/3 of the injured OL back too.

  33. finfanrob's avatar finfanrob says:

    We need 2/3 of the injured OL back too.

    i agree with that. they need to be able to run the ball and keep the def off the field if they cant this crappy d will give up 700 yards to flacco

    Most playoff teams have shitty wins along the way. It’s the teams outside of the playoffs that have too many shitty losses, and that’s the truth.

    Rob

    Most playoff teams have shitty wins along the way.

    and that is my point, i dont care if they are like most playoff teams, i want them to be a dominate playoff team. for me it just isnt enough to get there, i want them to get there with a realistic shot at winning it all

  36. Ken's avatar Ken says:

    FFR:
    I will start with us making the playoffs then I will worry about how deep we can go. Making the playoffs would be major progress for this franchise

  37. naplesfan2010's avatar naplesfan2010 says:

    Yeah we had trouble running, but the Niners were stacking the box big time. Daring us to pass.
    Reply
    So we did.
    Big Time.

  38. naplesfan2010's avatar naplesfan2010 says:

    Tannehill said, “They decided to force us to pass to win, so that is what we did.”

  39. Ken's avatar Ken says:

    Jets just took lead I think pending replay

    Jets just took lead I think pending replay

    funny how that was such an obvious td yet the refs called it incomplete

  42. Ken's avatar Ken says:

    The scariest thing about how good Tannehill was today was that his 2 best throws were the ones to Parker that got overturned

  43. finfanrob's avatar finfanrob says:

    ken and naples

    i am not saying this team isnt headed in the right direction i am just saying i am tired of waiting and not all go ga over them still being mediocre at best. i dont think after a decade plus i am wrong for being out of patience with this team

    • Ken's avatar Ken says:

      FFR:
      I hear you. My feeling right now is they are winning and they are fun to watch which they haven’t been for years. So I am enjoying this right now

  44. Mike E.'s avatar Mike E. says:

    Rob

    Very little separates what you would call dominant teams and other teams. We’re playing well enough to win 6 games in a row, and that’s the important thing. If we can get our O-line healthy, all 5 guys, I think we can beat anyone. Seriously.

    The scariest thing about how good Tannehill was today was that his 2 best throws were the ones to Parker that got overturned

    not to me the scariest thing about thill today was making sure to get out of his house before he got back home.

  46. finfanrob's avatar finfanrob says:

    mike

    i disagree with you there. a lot is different from a dominate team and this dolphin team. a dominate team would not have to come down to the last play when winning 31-14 with about 10 minutes

  47. finfanrob's avatar finfanrob says:

    how in the world does a guy catch a pass at about 2:12 left in the game and then the clock ticks down to 1:58………oh wait never mind….stupid me,……it was the patriots giving the jets less time to come back.

    Enjoy the win !!! I know I am….

    go ahead. i have no idea why my comments prevent any of you from enjoying the win. i dont hate that they won,, i am just saying this team is far from enjoyable for me. i am not asking anyone else to feel like i feel.

  49. Ken's avatar Ken says:

    Well Pats will survive and get the W in NJ

  50. finfanrob's avatar finfanrob says:

    and the refs wi…..i meant the cheats win another one

  51. finfanrob's avatar finfanrob says:

    cant wait to here how the 49ers lost this game on sunday night football.

    Fuck you Jets

  54. finfanrob's avatar finfanrob says:

    i am not sure what is easier. understanding women or college rankings

    USF is 25 in one poll and 23 in the other. however temple is playing in the conference championship and beat usf but they are not ranked. makes no sense

    • herdfan's avatar herdfan says:

      Rankings are a popularity contest. Some basis in fact but you always see teams that have lost games ranked higher than others that haven’t.

  55. finfanrob's avatar finfanrob says:

    wow the fins got a whole 1 play of highlights. they are moving up in the world

    November 27, 2016 at 8:07 pm

    Rankings are a popularity contest.
    yep why i have always said college ball championships are nothing more then a competition and not and actual sport. if some one else picks the winner based on how pretty they look it is not a sporting even but rather nothing more then a beauty pageant. might as well call the miss America pageant a sporting event

  57. finfanrob's avatar finfanrob says:

    whew that was close, wasnt sure if to go for the remote and change the tv just throw a shoe thru it so i didnt have to hear that country music whore tonight

    • naplesfan2010's avatar naplesfan2010 says:

      LOL I know right?
      at least Faith Hill’s version rocked a little.
      I also miss Faith Hill herself though.
      She seemed so pure and good.

    #Dolphins fans may want to root for the #Chiefs tonight. According to @ESPNStatsInfo, a KC win gives Miami the sixth seed over the #Broncos.

    naples

    i so hate the opening. it is football not nascar. but i will give you that, faith hill didnt want me to throw shit thru my tv like that other skank

    According to @ESPNStatsInfo, a KC win gives Miami the sixth seed over the #Broncos.

    no thanks, i will just root for the time when the fins dont need other teams to help get them in the playoffs

    Adam Beasley ‏@AdamHBeasley 3h3 hours ago
    Ryan Tannehill’s season passer rating is now up to 94.7, which would be the best of his career.

    Good news on DeVante Parker: Dolphins do not believe his back injury is overly serious. Good chance he plays against the Ravens.

    Somebody’s got to lose, why not go with the one that works for you.

    cause i dont care. if your team is so bad you need to root for other teams to win i just dont care

    • herdfan's avatar herdfan says:

      Yeah but this team isn’t ‘so bad’. The ‘so bad’ teams are out of it by now and it doesn’t matter.

    • naplesfan2010's avatar naplesfan2010 says:

      It’s just that football season is so short, you can do that, and you always need help because you don’t play everybody or anywhere near everybody.

      Even if you are at the top, you need other teams to beat the teams you don’t play, or several teams would end up 16-0.

  65. finfanrob's avatar finfanrob says:

    yep sure…… i am sure the cheats just sit around hoping teams beat the fins so they can get into the playoffs

    your opinion. my opinion is if you need other teams to get you in the playoffs then you dont belong there

  67. Ken's avatar Ken says:

    Will someone in this game please score . We can’t have this game end in a tie

  68. Ken's avatar Ken says:

    At least KC has a 2 score lead. Might be all that is necessary in this one

  69. Ken's avatar Ken says:

    We had 30 seconds of highlights on the NFL Network. They were so hyping the Panthers Raiders game as the matchup of 2 great young QBs. Cam sucked ass today and that is what they are hyping?

  70. Ken's avatar Ken says:

    Alright back to work tomorrow I need my beauty rest. Peace

    • olddolphan's avatar olddolphan says:

      I need my ugly rest. Driving nearly 600 miles to see game (and cheer like crazy) took a bit out of this old fart. Could you hear the crowd on television??

  71. olddolphan's avatar olddolphan says:

    JUST GOT BACK TO TAMPA SUBURBS after another scintillating game at Hard Head Stadium. To say that Young Stanger, your’s truly and my pals were “entertained” would be an understatement. So far, the Fins are undefeated in games attended by the two of us! –Will talk more tomorrow about what we saw. But here’s two things. 1) Tannehill cool under pressure and decisive with his passes, for the most part. 2) Colin Kaepernick put on quite a performance for his 1 and 10 team. Niners certainly didn’t play like a team that’s lost 10 straight!
    —————
    We really need at least one of our injured three O-Line starters back in the lineup for the Ravens game!!! Guessing Ravens will be favored over the Fins in this one.

  76. The Flying Pig's avatar The Flying Pig says:

    Gaines is th weak link of the KC defense

  77. The Flying Pig's avatar The Flying Pig says:

    Whatever happ Ned to CJ Anderson

  78. CavalierKong's avatar CavalierKong says:

    Denver defense with their second chance to win the game.

  79. CavalierKong's avatar CavalierKong says:

    These pricks are going to end up tied, smh

  80. The Flying Pig's avatar The Flying Pig says:

    I know we stay in 7th with a tie

    But in the grand scheme of things ties don’t usually favor teams battling for playoff spots

    So it might be a good season 4-5 weeks from now

  81. The Flying Pig's avatar The Flying Pig says:

    We will be a half game behind 2 teams
    Rather than tied with one and 1 game behind 1 one

    Not a darn thing about us on NFL.com except for this one tweet from Rich Eisen way down at the bottom…
    The @MiamiDolphins are your current 6-seed through 12 weeks. Your defending champs are 7th.

  92. olddolphan's avatar olddolphan says:

    SURE SIGN that Miami-area fans are jumping on the Fins bandwagon: About 40% of the Lazy Boy Seats ($1,000-$2,000 per ticket per game) WERE OCCUPIED for this game, an all-time record! Also, about 80% of the other seats were occupied, another uptick!! Made for a noisy environment, to say the least.
    —————–
    The Dolphins probably can NOT defeat the Ravens in Baltimore UNLESS at least ONE of our INJURED 3 O-LINE STARTERS RETURNS THIS COMING SUNDAY. No holes for running backs to run through against the Niners, even though SF is ranked LAST in the NFL in stopping the run. The Ravens have a much better run defense than do the Niners, so running the ball is going to be VERY difficult. We need a BALANCED OFFENSE! But this lineup of mostly backup O-Linemen is NOT going to get the job done in Baltimore. And, obviously, we’ll need Devante Parker in the lineup, too.

  93. Rockphin's avatar Rockphin says:

    Next Sunday is the first “Most important Sunday” of the season. (followed by the next week, the next week and two more next weeks.)

  94. The Flying Pig's avatar The Flying Pig says:

    Dolphins are 5-1 at home this season

    2 home games left
    Final game against cheats
    And 2 weeks vs AZ

    It would be nice to win both those games and finish 7-1

  95. Rockphin's avatar Rockphin says:

    Not a darn thing about us on NFL.com except for this one tweet from Rich Eisen way down at the bottom…

    Here is what Peter King had to say about the game…..

    • Another loss for the 1-10 Niners on Sunday (31-24 at Miami), but Colin Kaepernick was terrific in defeat, amassing his first 400-total-yard game in three seasons. Chip Kelly had to watch this game and think, “Maybe this guy can win again, and maybe we’ll be a match.” Kaepernick threw for 296 yards, ran for 134, accounted for three touchdowns and generally looked like the kind of threat that made Ron Jaworski say three years ago he could be an all-timer. Kaepernick will need to be consistent in the last month, but suddenly his Niners future is a story instead of a fait accompli.

    How about the Dolphins finding a way to win 6 straight? What about the WINNING QB who had a 130.6 passer rating? What about the Defense that found a way to kill the final drive to save the game?

    • The Flying Pig's avatar The Flying Pig says:

      Chip Kelly insanity + political Kaepernick = better national story

      Honestly next week if we can get to 8 – 4 we will be tough to ignore

  96. Rockphin's avatar Rockphin says:

    I am very happy with Coach Gase and how he has handled this team.

    The Dolphins missed three starting offensive linemen – Mike Pouncey, Branden Albert and Laremy Tunsil. San Francisco had the 25th ranked pass defense and a decent defensive front. Plus, the 49ers were playing a lot of eight-, nine- and 10-man fronts to counter the Dolphins running game. So? So Gase stuck with the running game even though it wasn’t productive beyond opening the passing game. On a late, second-quarter 84-yard touchdown drive, the Dolphins ran six of 11 plays. For the half, they ran 16 times for 65 yards and passed 17 times for 154 yards. After three quarters, they’d run 20 times and passed 24. Jay Ajayi had 13 carries for 19 yards. But Gase stuck with it and was rewarded somewhat when Ajayi ran for 18 yards early in the fourth quarter. The main thing is San Francisco asked Gase to become a one-dimensional team and he refused. He stayed as balanced as you can be.

  97. Rockphin's avatar Rockphin says:

    Boy, the AFC west is really fucking up the AFC standings this year. The Dolphins currently sit in the final wild card spot at #6 but have a better record than two of the division winners.

    When the Dolphins beat the Ravens next week we will STILL be in the #6 spot and the Ravens will swap spots with the Steelers who will still have a worse record (and a H2H loss against us)

  98. Rockphin's avatar Rockphin says:

    Hey everyone, pretend the Dolphins lost yesterday and get on here and blog damn it! there is still plenty to complain about!

  99. Rockphin's avatar Rockphin says:

    From PFF’s top 10 players of the week this week.

    7. Ryan Tannehill, Miami Dolphins

    Miami’s rejuvenation during its six-game win streak has been largely on the shoulders of running back Jay Ajayi, but in the past three weeks Tannehill has produced two of the best games of his career and thrown some spectacular passes. This week he posted a passer rating of 130.6, completing 66.7 percent of his passes and throwing three scores without being intercepted. When kept clean in the pocket, his passer rating was 150.3, and the 49ers were only able to generate pressure on eight of his 34 dropbacks.
