Game Day – Dolphins @ Ravens – Week 13

IT’S GAME DAY BITCHES!
GO DOLPHINS!!!
Let’s go Dolphins!!!!!!
What a game last night! Bookman, sorry about the loss. Wisconsin is a classy team year after year.
It’s amazing to me how much my football teams (Penn St. is my college team) have mirrored each other over the past 10 years or so. Both last won their division in 2008, have endured scandal around the same time (college obviously being infinitely worse), have had talented QB’s with porous OL’s helping drag them down, and are now winning the same exact way. Penn St. and the Dolphins are both second half teams this year, coming out flat in the first half and completely turning it around in the second; that is a mark of good coaching. Let’s hope this continues today against the Ravens- if we wan to take the next step in our development as a team then this is a game we have to have. This will be a tough, physical game. If we don’t turn the ball over, force some turnovers of our own and get the running game going then we have a good chance to walk out of Baltimore with a victory.
So excited! Woke up, and put on my aqua shirt, READY FOR VICTORY!!!
Go DOLPHINS!!
Just an odd note I feel compelled to mention. In my FF league, I have the Dolphins Defense, who are projected to get 9 points, and my opponent has the Ravens Defense, who are projected to get 6 points. Hmmm
I woke up and couldn’t get back to sleep. Too excited!
Go Dolphins! 🐬🏈

It’s game I think I need some Xanax
It’s going to be a nailbiter for sure.
Penn State should be #4. If they’re not the “committee” is a bunch of douchebags.
who’s gonna be out? I think washington should be in because they have only 1 loss. Maybe they should be in over ohio state since they beat them already.
I don’t care who’s out. Penn State is definitely one of the top four teams in college football and deserves to be in there. Ohio State probably would be the logical choice since, like you said, Penn State defeated them and Penn State is also the Big Ten Champ and Ohio State didn’t even play in the game.
No argument here, but they aren’t getting in IMO. Just too many variables for that to happen.
Tanny
the first thing they show at the top of the hour on NFLN
but of course they go strait to Brady for about 3 times as long right after
Howie, Dolphins want the division
Fins 28-16
People shouldn’t be so worried about who is at 4 in the college playoff ranking because they’re a sacrificial lamb for Alabama.
Lets go Dolphins
It’s Oinking time
I would probably take 1 big ten 10 if I were the committee
And that would be the big 10 champ – penn state
Ohio state had another great season and a tough schedule
But why do they get in over a conference champ
I don’t get that
Go Dolphins!!!
When’s the last time the Phins had a game this big? Nice to be able to ask the question.
ANSWER: The home playoff game following the 2008 season. We got embarrassed in our own stadium by the Ravens!!
————–
YOUNG STANGER: LOVED that reference to “a one cent piece!” BTW, according to a Dolphins’ employee, the 2-year late apology from the Dolphins to my beloved Penny for the major security issue in the parking lot may finally be in the mail. IF YOU THINK I HATE ROSS, believe me, Miss Penny hates him much worse than I do, as does JOAN, the most knowledgeable Dolfan among “My Boyz”, who is NOT renewing her tickets next season after 35 straight years as a season ticket holder. Of the 10 members of “MY BOYZ,” I will be the only one who has renewed for next season. Having said that, I STILL believe season tix sales will be up a bit next season. However, unlike Robbie & Huizenga, Ross does NOT release exact numbers of season tix renewals.
Think an argument could be made for that one season where we had to win one of our last two games to get in and lost both, but it’s been a long while.
And whatever the reason, just sorry your whole crew won’t be there setting up on game day. Was pretty special to sit down with them……still hoping some of them change their minds when those renewal letters come though.
YS: It’s too late for any of “My Boyz” to change their minds. Those seats have already been taken from them for non-renewal. That’s Ross’s way of saying “Don’t let the door hit you in the ass on the way out!”
We need to come out strong from the beginning. None of this BS of the 2nd half or the last 5 minutes to get going.
Yeah
Enough with giving me an ulcer in the 1st
Are you watching from home or Slattery’s?
I’m gonna go to slatterys
It’s not on tv here in NYC 😦
This should get everyone pumped for the game
I KNOW MANY OF YOU are, from time to time, not happy with ESPN. HERE’S more fodder for that point of view. In this morning’s “FANTASY FOOTBALL NFL FORECAST,” Miami’s Ryan Tannehill was NOT ranked in the top 20 starting QB’s for fantasy points this week (they only ranked the top 20, so I don’t know how low Tanny was ranked). BTW, number 20 on this fantasy “hit list” was none other than Blake Bortles of the Jags, yes the SAME BLAKE BORTLES who has the lowest QBR season rating in the entire NFL!! Now I DON’T play fantasy football (prefer REAL football) but anybody who thinks Bortles is a better QB than Tanny (even for 1 game) needs their fuckin’ head examined, CLOSELY!! An article about 2 months ago in the WSJ said that ESPN has lost millions of subscribers over the last 3 years. DUHHHH!!
Espn is horrible
But the NFL network is not very good either
Tanny is not a fantasy darling, but he isn’t in the top 20 this week cause the Raven’s D is that good and their O isn;t good enough that we might have to play catch up (when FF QB numbers can explode).
What a nice snowy morning here in NE Wisconsin.
I can’t wait to get to the bar for the game. I am sure because the Packers play at the same time, the Dolphins game will be on an outer TV, and not directly at the bar.
Ravens safety Eric Weddle caught something after doing his tape study that none of our beat reporters did.
“[Gase] took out the no-huddle and the check at the line, check to different plays. That’s a tough offense to do.. There’s a reason why Philip (Rivers), Peyton (Manning) and very few other guys can run that style of offense. Mentally, it’s on a whole other level.”
“They huddle up, they drop back, they check a little here and there, but they’re going to run what they run, make it simple, make his reads simple. That’s why they’re winning. They’re not making mistakes, he’s not trying to check to different calls, different plays, figuring out what coverages the defense is running. He’s just getting up there and running what they’re running.”
And Gase admitted it was true, even if he didn’t put it all on Tanny.
“Yeah, that’s why Eric is who he is. He knows this offense probably as well as anyone outside this building. Really, it came down to just trying to make sure all of us were on the same page. We were having some issues early. It was one guy here and there.”

OD, fwiw, I think the Dolphins are making a huge mistake with you and your BOYZ. You could be a marketing dream right there for selling tickets if you ask me. All you long time season ticket holders should be treated better for sure.
HERD, it has been a nightmare of epic proportions. One of MY BOYZ, (John, the chef) was told he’d have to purchase THREE season’s tix if he wanted to sit upstairs between the 40 and 50. This was after over 30 seasons with TWO season tix DOWNSTAIRS. His downstairs season tix were TAKEN FROM HIM in Ross’s “LAZYBOY SEATS” transformation. John reluctantly paid for a 3rd (unwanted) season ticket which HE COULD NOT RE-SELL because demand for single tix upstairs was extremely low during the 1-4 start. When they told him how much more his 3 tix for next season would be he told them “NO–you are NOT holding me hostage any more” and told us he would NEVER ATTEND ANOTHER FINS GAME AS LONG AS ROSS OWNED THE TEAM!–True to his word, he has not attended any games since the Tennessee home game.
I could tell you other stories about the other members of MY BOYZ but, I’m sure, no one wants to hear them. My Brother-in-Law, Jim,–his decision NOT to renew hit me the hardest b/c he is the older brother I never had, and the husband of my 81 year old sister. He only missed THREE HOME GAMES in Miami’s 51 years of existence. But he’s had enough of Ross and his policies. One of the killers for Jim was when the ticket office sold two season tix 2 seats over from him (which Jim was totally willing to pay for) to a FIRST YEAR SEASON TICKET HOLDER! Jim wanted those seats on the aisle so he could more easily get up and egress the area. His bad knees made the need for aisle seats an issue. Instead, those seats went to a “rookie” who a) only purchased 2 season tix and b) was totally healthy and really had no need to be on the aisle.
——————————
Some of MY BOYZ reasons for non-renewal are worse than Jim’s. But enough! If Ross wants to piss-off people who’ve supported the franchise for 3-4 or 5 decades, there’s really nothing we can do about it. But one thing’s for sure. Those of us still alive the day Ross sells the team are going to have a serious PARTY.

Piggy:
I have been meaning to get to Slattery’s for a game. I was almost going to suggest this one but my wife had plans for the day so I have to stay home with the kids. I am hoping next week I might try to make a trip in to the city
C’mon Parker. All hands on deck
And hes in !!!! Woot woot

What kind of name is pundit anyway? It just screams asshole loser to me.
Really hoping Albert lines up on the first play, and for two reasons: Terrell Suggs and Elvis Dumervil.

That’s OK, Williams has been inactive when he has been active
Parker is going to be active
just read that he’s gonna play. That’s great. Even if he’s just used as a decoy primarily.
And no matter what, he’ll be more than that in the red zone.
Connection of the day — we took Ajayi with the pick we got from the Vikes in the Wallace trade
works for me , especially if Ajayi helps us win today
OD
thanks for the kind words about my Clemson Tigers. It is difficult for a smallish school in a smallish state to go up against the perennial powerhouses from big states, with huge enrollments, huge budgets, and huge national name recognition.
But we have a lot of pride and a long tradition of trying hard to be great. William the Fridge Perry came from there way back in the day. Byron Maxwell who was born only a few miles from me and Andre Branch of course play for Miami now after going to Clemson.
Anyway, I have been enduring TWO nailbiters per weekend all year as Clemson has been snatching victory in heart-stopping ways just like Miami.
unfinished business question … Is anybody else as surprised as I about the quick dismissal of Safety Culliver? I thought they could hardly wait to get him back and then boom he’s gone as soon as we needed another OL due to injuries.
What happened? Is Lippett making that much progress?
I don’t think his knee responded well. No other team has signed him either.
ok thanks for the update
Yeah game day! So the national game has to be the Rams vs. Pats and Texans vs. Packers. Really?
Howie,
Miami 24, Balt 23 (my gut was 24-20 but it was taken) 🙂 So give Tucker another FG.
having the left side of o-line back is huge. I think first half is gonna be a bruiser as both teams try to establish an edge in the trenches.
Have the feeling we are not going to see a lot of sustained drives today. Thinking this game is gonna come down to big plays, whether by the D, O or on special teams.
if so I hope Stills has his head on straight. lol
Funny — you think Stills and I think Darr. 🙂
Raiders vs Bills ?? I guess play it safe and cheer for Raiders
Maybe Rams defense can send Brady on vacation with Gronk lol
👏👏👍👍
23-20 MIA
Sorry Howie! 🙂
I say we do something crazy on our 1st play
Deep to Parker, they will never expect it
GO FINS!!!
I am thinking Kenyan Drake has a big play for us on an outlet pass while we are trying to slow down the pass rush and also the very physical Caroo might turn in another 15 yd TD where he fights off tackles like a baby TE.
ya’ know… this makes sense. After last week’s game I made a comment about the fresh legs of our rookies like Drake and Caroo. It will be interesting to see how soon they get on the field.
They have showed me for 6 games but they haven’t shown enough for me not to have that “feeling” before every game.
Ok, they have the Dolphin game set up for me at a bar TV. They pointed me to it when I arrived. They must enjoy my bar tab st the end…lol
Nice !! Go FINS. Big day for KIKO and Wake.
Is the tab bigger on W’s or L’s ??? lol
L’s??? What’s that? I can’t remember what that feels like!!
Good point Toba.
Rhino, I don’t know I can’t remember…for a couple of reasons….lol
Everyone wants to make a library cop happy……maybe the manager never returned Tropic of Cancer.
Lol
So to protect or improve our position, we want the Raiders over Bills, Rams over NE by 11 TDs with Brady twisting his knee worse, Jax over Denver, Atlanta over KC, Philly over Cincy, TB over SD, Jets over Indy (yuck on rooting for the jests). The biggest of course is we need Buffalo and Denver to lose.
Lots of chances for others to help us out. Of course as FFR says, we need to win and everything else will be fine.
so winner of Big 10 doesn’t make the CFB. lol It’s looking like a Ohio St vs Alabama again in CFB championship game.
heyyyy now … the Tigers are not dead yet!
Nah you are probably right. They can’t beat the might mighty buckeyes.
and how do you mean “again”? Last year it was us against the elephants in the champ game, not OSU. We beat OU before losing to the red pond scum on a Kenyan Drake KO TD late.
pre-game shows talking about Parker playing and ignore the real story of Albert and Tunsil playing.
Ball watchers…….or maybe they know that OL guys ain’t on FF rosters.
Fins shirt ✅jelly beans ✅candy crush ✅
Brian no pick ✅38-13 pick in✅
Need Rock with his orange hat and Herd doing Laundry
Its almost GameTime
I’m so superstitious that I will not even tell anybody what my ritual is, but hint hint first just got done and rest of it will be in play in 3 minutes.

Authentic, white #17? Check
Orange new logo hat? Check
LOL – I have my aqua shirt on, ready to rock!
Whatever show I watched it was split between Phins and Ravens, but actually Jim Rome broke the tie on CBS. The fans though overwhelmingly chose MIA, 78%. Doesn’t matter what ANYONE says, just win baby!

ok we might lose today because we are on the road and they always play us tough blah blah blah.
I just want us to not be embarrassed and play a good game.
Nobody wins them all, and 7 straight only happens about every 30 years.
I think some cities have never done it.
the fucking car commercials have gotten so bad that now they have 10 year old kids asking santa for cars. oh well the whole season is fake and bullshit might as well make people look like even bigger losers
I see too many people acting like the Ravens are undefeated. We are the better team. If we lose it’s bc we have shot ourselves in the foot with stupidity. Joe Flacco can throw the deep ball but that’s about it. Hes not a quick hitting, good decision, precision QB. Both Wallace and Smith are headcases, our dbs and lbs need to get inside their heads and get them off their games. Stop the run, get in Flaccos face and he’ll start giving up turnovers. This is more than winnable. This game will be won in the second half, it’s always does for us against the Ravens, but we do dumb things and give the game away most of the time. The last 6 games look like we’re done with that and so we need to stay the course.
I’ll be in the garage. Hope to come back in often when good things happen
FINS ROCK!!!
HERE WE GO
D looks like shit
1st qtr slow start as usual
why would the fins go on def first. they have to be one of the worst to start a game
Well that fucking sucked
Well that was crappy
that was really fucking simple
easy 1st drive just like SF last week. smh
I guess we forgot to practice pass defense this week
WHAT THE FUCK!? THAT WAS TOO EASY
If they think they are going to get down against this D and be able to come back like they have in past weeks they are mistaken.
Oy! We never come out fast. Let’s hold them to that for awhile now. Geez!
Please have Drake on KR. Grant scares me still
Possibly the ugliest defensive series by our team
Our Linebackers are awful sometimes.
That Dodge commercial is the most irresponsible commercial I have ever seen. Let’s drag race in the snow from traffic light to traffic light, with the family in the car and trees strapped to the roof.
Atlanta opens with an easy TD on KC.
Nice play
nice play to Sims.
Beast mode by Jtrain
Lot of slipping going on.
Landry fell down
rock
car commercials now a days are about as rational an almost pregnant woman.
That’s a killer
Franks proving why I don’t trust him
