The Dolphins will have a short time to celebrate this week after an exciting come from behind victory at Hard Rock stadium in Miami. QB Matt Moore led the comeback against the Jets down 28-14 after Jay Cutler was sacked and was later to be found to have multiple cracked ribs. The Dolphins prevailed with Moore at the helm, winning the game 31-28 in the final minute of the game. Fest games don’t get much better than that, although I have to admit, last year’s Buffalo comeback win 28-24 was pretty damn close!
So Cutler is out, and now all of you who can’t stand Cutler get your wish. I caution you though, be careful what you wish for! No slight to Moore, but Jay Cutler was actually playing well in this game. Yeah, detractors will point out the pass to Stills (Which was a completion BTW), or the tipped pass for an INT (It happens to every QB), or that we were down 28-14. I don’t know any more than any of you who want Moore over Cutler, but I got a guy on my side who counts a lot more than you knuckleheads, and that’s HC Adam Gase.
I’ll say this, Moore looked very confident, very comfortable, and moved the team well. There was a definite difference in the tempo, Moore ran things smoothly, as if he’s been here for years, well, because he has. I liked what I saw, but I also remember the Matt Moore that makes a great throw one play, and the next tries to force one in there and it’s going the other way. Matt Moore is a capable NFL QB, but is he sustainable? I’m not sure if we’ll find that out, because I think he may only get a few games (3-4) before Cutler is healthy enough to play again, and at that point, I do hope it’s a difficult decision for Adam Gase to make, because that would mean Moore has been playing great. If Moore struggles, there will be no question at all that Cutler will be the QB when healthy.
How about that D-E-F-E-N-S-E ? Yeah, they struggled a bit against the Jets, but came up big at the end of the game, shutting down the Jets on their last 3 possessions, coming up with the HUGE Bobby McCain INT on the last of the 3 to enable the Dolphins to kick the game winning field goal. Cam Wake now has 6 sacks in 6 games, which puts him on pace for 16 for the season, which would be a career high for Wake at age 35. Isn’t that somethin’? The defense has been getting contributions from a lot of players, the D-line, and I mean more than just Suh, including Phillips, Godchaux, Hayes, Taylor, Harris, Fede, and of course, the LB’s, Alonso, Timmons and even Maualuga. Reshad Jones is back, and is exactly what we need back there in the secondary. I can’t wait to see the tandem of Jones and McDonald in Week 9. Nate Allen hasn’t been awful, but he’s a complete non-factor. The two young CB’s have had their ups and downs, tank had a rough outing last week, but he’s going to have those. I’m very pleased with the tandem of Tankersley and Howard. Next year, hopefully Lippett is back too, and Bobby McCain made a huge play and has been playing better, so things are looking up.
The Ravens have been decimated by injuries, hit even harder than our own Dolphins team, which has seen it’s share for sure. Joe Flacco has struggled this season, with only 5 TD’s and 8 INT’s. Son’s boy Breshad Perriman and Mike Wallace are the wideouts, Ben Watson is the TE, and the ravens feature a RB by committee approach, with a combo of Javorius Allen, Alex Collins and Terrance West. Allen is their leading receiver with 31 receptions, and also has the most carries with 82 for 301 yards and 1 TD. Terrell Suggs still leads the defense, in his hybrid role of LB and pass rushing DE. The Ravens are allowing 21.1 PPG while our Dolphins defense 18,7 PPG. On offense, the Ravens are averaging 18.6 while the Dolphins a paltry 15.3.
It was another fantastic FEST, and I hope that more of you guys and girls can attend the next one. It’s a great time to be had, and I actually miss all of you who partied with us last week. If you can find a way to make it, I can assure you won’t regret it! Dilly Dilly!
The Ravens are coming off a tough loss to the Vikings, 26-14, but those pesky Ravens seem to always give us a tough time. Last season, the Ravens spanked us 38-6. In 2015, we eeked out a 15-13 win. In 2010, 2013 and 2014, The Ravens beat us and almost all of those games severely hurt our playoff chances. No other way to put it, but I freaking HATE the Ravens! Besides our division rivals, there is no other NFL team I hate more, so I hope Matt Moore brings his “A” game, and the defense does as well!

I’m working till at least 9, probably 9:30, so I’m going to miss a lot of the game. 😦
I get bye-week needs, but a dumbass in my 12-teamer dropped Parker early this morn. Went right to pick him up but he was locked till the reg Wed waiver wire cause we play tonight. For a 2nd had the thought “but what if he doesn’t play?”…..but nah, he’d be gone in the first three picks anyhow. So now back to hoping he plays hard. We need him.
1st day back at work and I get to leave early because our game is on. Good Stuff !!
tunsil may be out tonight, when will we see parker?
He practiced in full yesterday.
https://sports.yahoo.com/laremy-tunsil-devante-parker-questionable-163547230.html
If he misses we will be down to one starter on the OL, Juwaun James
The only starter out is Steen.
https://sports.yahoo.com/laremy-tunsil-devante-parker-questionable-163547230.html
Sam Young may be playing LT for us tonight
I think he is if Tunsil can’t go. Davis will play LG, Pouncey at C, Bushrod at RG, and James at RT
Not sure why that article says we will only have one starter on the OL tonight?
we had Pouncey-Bushrod-Larson-Tunsil-James as starters who will play tonight?
Questionable is the new probable. I always go by if they practice. Pouncey was limited but he rarely practices to keep him healthy.
Rob – The article said we’d be down one starter, not down to only one starter
ok i misread it
I know how much Tim loves these:
Only when they have us ranked pretty high. LOL
Warning — this one ain’t office friendly at all from an inside moment in the stadium last weekend. Pretty funny how the guys are like “you go girl” though.

She’s probably a slut. LOL
She at least knew what line was shorter.
Sounds like Dont’a Hightower is out for the year with a torn pec….and not like the Pats were playing good D before.
Mike, I meant to mention this when watching the Jets game. Fox does have a shit quality. I was like WTF, my TV is better than that. It wasn’t horrible, but the resolution wasn’t great.
Fox NFL broadcasts are likely still in 720p HD, I can’t find where they have updated to 1020p yet
I meant 1080p HD, not 1020p
Fox NFL games are 720p
I usually work OT on Wednesdays. This week our OT got moved to Thursday, so I won’t get home till about 7:15.
I guess it just means I get to miss all the commercials.
Fins – 59
Ravens – 3
Oinks!!!

Tim – Thanks for noticing. I can’t believe the NFL allows that. They should want their product reproduced in full HD, which at a minimum, is 1080i. It would be even nicer if they got into the 21st century and broadcast it in 4K, but that’s going to be a while. I can’t understand why they make the 4K TV’s before they have content to support it. It’s like building an electric car and there are no charging stations. WTF!
It’s called putting the cart before the horse… get used to it now. We shouldn’t have to get used to it, but I’m just sayin’, get used to it. Liberalism has entrenched themselves within BIG BIZ. I told y’all that half a decade ago.
for the life of me I can’t figure out why you think this is a political topic
It’s not necessarily a political topic… it’s more about BIG BIZ and how they do biz.
…and how they do biz NOW. I’d ask you… have you worked for a Fortune 100 company at any time over the last 8 years? I doubt it.
Agreed Piggy. Come on man.
Technology is driven by innovation, if there are no 4k tvs, no networks will ever upgrade camera equipment, and 4k never will happen. Something has to come first, doesn’t really matter if it’s chicken or egg.
its not political IMO.
Fox is a big corporation saving a few bux by giving us 720p, hoping We don’t notice the difference .
Nitpicking on my part, but that Landry number is a pretty low YPC Average.
I forgot where I read it, but the vast majority of the balls thrown to him are either at the LOS, or less than 10 yards beyond it. Just a product of what we were doing here.

Still….even if Tunisl is also down, we have Pouncey and Bushrod, to go along with James.
I read the article wrong
CBS uses 1080p, so the games will appear clearer than 720p Fox games, but they all should be doing 4K by now. Maybe next year?
No network broadcasts in 1080p, it’s 1080i. 1080p would be a bluray. It’s going to be a while before we see 4K broadcasts, especially in sports, because they’d have to shoot the action with all 4K cameras, which is costly.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/720p
Wiki claims all broadcasts use a 720p format
But the upgrade over 720p would be 1080i, got it
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/High-definition_television_in_the_United_States
That’s interesting, both 1080i and 1080p are being used in broadcasts, one for the channels, one for ppv or video on demand.
Best Buy has a 55 inch with 4K for $499.99 ,
so the networks could help themselves out with the TV ratings if they give the consumers what they want.
From a business standpoint,
It’s not too expensive to keep up with consumer demand, it’s too expensive to fall behind.

M13
Are you serious? I’ve been an attorney for huge corporations for some time. Its no secret here that I have represented building developers and owners in NYC for about 15 years now. These days, with my own practice, my clients are much smaller nowadays since I left the big firm I was at and sometimes I actually represent people for a change rather than corporations now….lol
but I had about 13 years under my belt speaking with principals, members, shareholders and agents of theirs about how they run their business and advising them how to avoid lawsuits.
And let me clear this up for you based on my personal experience. The only motivation for any big business is $$$ and definitely not politics and if they do anything for any reasons other than profit they might find themselves on the ugly end of a shareholder’s derivative suit for losing shareholder’s money not to mention the obvious loss of profit for themselves and their business which sucks too.
The obvious answer to the motivation of Fox is money. If they choose one medium to broadcast without a large audience they risk missing out on that audience. Isn’t that a perfectly logical non-political reason?
and in that industry its nothing new. Take a look at how slow television was to broadcast in color even after the technology was there. If you want a big audience – you have to wait for them to catch up to the technology. Makes sense doesn’t it?
Agreed. it’s always about the money, feed the corporate beast
Just ate my standard PB&J lunch, and the bread was a little dry. Damn Liberals.
smart ass monkey^
You try eating bread this dry. No bueno.
Did you eat in 720p or 1080i? That’s all I care about
LOL.
I thought it was 4K, ended up being 8-bit, SMH.
LOL!
BTW Business isn’t always about working for large Fortune 100 corporations, let’s not forget the mom and pop entrepreneurs! Many pioneers and dreamers in their respective industries left the big corporations , and wanted to chart their own destiny. Just saying.

********************
I don’t know if its accurate – but I don’t think his YPC is very high (just a guess)
he hasn’t really broken any huge ones after the catch this season.
Also – I DON”T CARE! HE IS STILL MY FAVORITE DOLPHIN!!!
don’t for get the little things he does like blocking, he’s very tough for his size just ask that buffalo safety
He’s the best
He’s like a Hines Ward type but a better receiver too….lol
I’ve always compared Landry to Hines Ward. Tough as nails, looks to block when he doesn’t have the ball and clutch.
BTW Shulaburger on 192 Kissimmee moved out, Burgercraft took over the lease and is open.
All the wins this year were 4th Q comebacks…..and we all know how close a lot of our wins coming back last season from 1-4 were. At what point is it just luck versus Gase game management and/or a team with heart?
NY Jets — W 31-28
@ Atlanta — W 20-17
Tennessee — W 16-10
@ LA Chargers — W 19-17
Anyone hear anything on whether Parker is playing tonite?
game time decision
they’re thinking about making the superbowl a best of 7 series
Liberal big biz! 😉
I hear all you guys regarding Landry. He’s one of my favorite Fins as well. I was just nitpicking based on what jumped out at me on that stat. I’m hoping he has over 100 catches and is pushing 10 ypc before the season is over. He’s bound to break a big one or two before it’s all over.
Landry slander is frowned upon around here!
Slandry?
Well I’m gonna have a hard time frowning upon it if it has a nickname!!!
I mentioned this the other day. But it is how he’s being used. I think our running game is key to getting him open deeper. When teams stifle our running attack they focus on Landry.
M13, what you were suggesting isn’t liberalism, it’s capitalism. So maybe you are a socialist. LOL
Anyone here watch Lillehammer on Netflix? Tim’s comment reminded me of the Macbook vs. Scratching stick birthday gift scene……
I do like how we are starting to spread the ball around and getting the TE’s more involved. We still need to establish the run tonight for us to be successful. GO PHINS !!
Well the Ravens are the worst against the run. That is a great recipe to winning on the road. Move the chains, control TOP, set up play-action, take the crowd out of the game.
Have you all discussed Donte Hightower being out for the season yet?
That has to help us (the poor guy).
I said earlier I feel for the player, but F*CK the Patriots!
A lot of players going down for the year.
I will discuss it when I’m done celebrating it
Let’s go Dolphins !!!
I don’t like seeing any players get hurt but I don’t think Hightower is that good.
Adam BeasleyVerified account @AdamHBeasley 1m1 minute ago
DeVante Parker is moving around pretty well on the field pre-game.
Play you pussy
Come on man, anyone can sprain an ankle. Also Parker said he wanted to go last week and the team held him back. He’s not a soft player. If you think he is, so is Julio Jones and a number of gifted WRs who get banged up quite a bit.
OCTOBER sports fans!!!
Sunday – Fins beat Jets
Monday – Dubs are back
Tuesday – Game 1 WS

Howie, (or whoever covers for him mid week) lol
Fins 24 Ravens 17 (Ravens get late garbage TD to make it look close).
Boulder chose that score.
Landry lined up wide quite a bit Sunday and he caught that sort of deep ball down around the 4 to set up Stills 2nd TD.
And blocking, might be the best or at least most committed blocking receiver in the league.
24-10 Moore slams the door.
…and we have Suh
76% of players the Phins have listed as questionable have played this year. Nah….wasn’t even thinking Parker at all. Just throwing out a stat find. 🙂

(Talking about electric cars from earlier)
When I was a kid 10-12 yrs old, I remember going to Costco in California and they had designated spots for charging your electric car. Makes you wonder how that was 30+ years ago……
That’s odd. What electric cars existed then?
Idk. Didn’t know they existed, but thought it was really cool. But makes you question what happened. Big oil in the govt is my guess
The GM EV1 which was discontinued and subsequently taken out into the desert and everyone of them was crushed so there was nothing left of them. The battery plans were purchased as well so nobody could get their hands on them and duplicate the battery in the future. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ru89x1jmpq4

————————————-
Part of the reasons these network broadcasts cannot upgrade is the affiliates cant upgrade and the affiliates cant upgrade because their local broadcast audience cant upgrade.. You can easily bring politics into the discussion at this point because, offering free basic cable or satellite service would then allow the affiliate stations to upgrade without losing local advertisement dollars because they closed the doors to the local audience, once all the affiliates are upgraded, then the broadcast networks could upgrade and everything shifts up.
Considering though that you can already see that the technology limitation are a decade or more behind, think of how long it would take to get up to 4k broadcasting, especially if something major with regards to not only broadband broadcasting , but regulating the cost of those services is not done. Until then, you should actually hope that the games are not broadcast nationally, so you can pick them up on a cable channel, ie Sunday ticket or NFL network, ESPN, etc. where you can get that higher range broadcast quality.
NFL network talking about all other teams except PHINS vs ravens. #fuckers 😎
pti barely said anything, every thurs night they pick a winner, all they said tonight ” its a gag and puke game, the wilbon went on to his beloved bears talking trubiski
Parker out!
Change your lineup Mike E!
Damn.. owe you a beer.🍻
Cheers!
They just reported Parker out 😖
He’s a pussy.
Better fucking get Landry signed long term.
Team decision once again. LOL
Wallace is afraid of us. He should be!
Ouch on both Parker and Branch. Least they’ll have ten days to rest up though.
Thanks ER, Doggy! Done!
Made it home in time to see the game. It better be good. It’s been a horrific week so far.
Sorry to hear that . . . Hope it’s all roses for the rest of it! 🙂
Starting with tonight!
GO PHINS
Awww. Thanks. I’m in my happy place now. A cocktail or two is on the horizon. Lol.
ER – I’m sure big oil has something to do with it, as well as Detroit iron too. We’re just not ready to “Go Green”, especially when American males are snapping up top fuel drag racers like the 707 HP Dodge Demon for $80,000 +. Not happening so fast
700hp car? Where the hell you think you can ever get your money’s worth? Really make it to those red lights fast! Lol
Exactly! Most of the buyers take it to the track to race 1/4 miles. It comes with skinny, lightweight front wheels and tires, if you launch it right, it will do a wheelie. No shit man, I speak true
Oh shoot, just realized I’m describing the Hellcat, the Demon has 840 HP!
Hey Ajayi your suppose to wear that on your junk
Our OL and DL can handle one loss each.
So are you saying we better win tonight, we’re already 4-2. 😉
Meaning a starter in Steen and Branch.
I know what you meant, I was being silly!
Because why?
Because we have Suh!
The rookie is getting his shot tonight. He looked good Sunday.
Time for Carroo to step up and show why he was taken in the 2nd rd.
Time fort you to see why we ain’t trading Landry 👀
Pay attention
Don’t hold your breath Son. Takes an ounce of humility….
we ain’t paying him $15.7 million either.
Time for Carroo who we traded back into the 3rd for, along with a 2016 6th and a 3rd and 4th round in 2017, to step up.
He’s not gonna get a lot of targets he needs to block and make plays on the few opportunities he gets. He made a nice play Sunday on his only catch.
Something like 3-40 would be good. 🙂
LOL touché
😉
well, Parker was taken in the first and he’s the “boy” of a lot of people on this board. looking like ANOTHER wasted first round pick
did anyone notice last week when M13 asked people to do the cap exercise and I said “Cut Maxwell, easy enough”.
Sometimes I guess right. 🙂
Boom 💥
I didn’t know you meant this week!
Let’s go phins!
Enjoy the game everyone. I will watch it when I get home.
GO PHINS
We got this ER
I seem to recall so many people on this board who were all over Parker before the draft and were thrilled we got him. Now, he’s a pussy. Mmmm.
I called him a pussy, twice in fact. Many advocated for him I didn’t necessarily but I liked him. He needs to get on the field.
I see what you did there. Took my opinion of Parker and attributed it to Son, Then took his opinion and attributed it to me, then insinuated we’re both hypocrites.
I award you bonus points for douchebaggery!
I’ll take those points.
Harris is starting tonight
Weeeeeee
He’s been solid and developing. I think he’ll get better over the years as he gets bigger and stronger. He already has the quick step and intangibles.
I bet we get a ton of pressure tonight – no offense to Branch
“I didn’t know you meant this week!”

I will be there next year…..music and bubba keg in hand
We will look forward to seeing YOU as well
Get ajayi going
Just did
Great call Rob 👍👍
All the pregame guys saying the jey for Balt is to run the ball, do they nit see our run Def is top 5 ish ?
Key
That’s what I’m talking about
Matt Haack has to kick better
Lets go DEEEE Fence
Let’s go D
Nice to get that big run early even though we ended up punting
3rd and 5 and Tannehill makes the play call. “throw it to Thomas one yard behind the line and let him try to get the first”
Bookman! What it is man?
Hey Mike!
How did he get so many yards on that run?
Did you see Harris close on that?!?!?
Harris!!!!
Harris
Grrrrrrrrant 😡
He should try running north one time
Right ?!
I think the Grant experiment needs to end
some blocking on special teams would be nice
Are we winning yet?
0-0
Thanks, still at work 😦
Bookman – I expect to see you at the next Fest, Industrial sized mug (drum?) and all!
Check above…..I will be there. I will also host a Fest in Wisconsin for the Fin/Packer game.
That could be a safety
That was FUGLY
