Forget the matchups, forget who’s playing where, forget how many PPG we have or they have, forget about all of that. I’m not wasting my time researching that crap when this team does one thing consistently, underdeliver. NO ONE on this team is living up to the back of his football card (You can all debate that if you like) What this team needs to do, and I don’t care how Gase has to get them to do it, is come out, and smack some team in the mouth. As soon as they get on the field, impose their will, and show that team this is not going to be their day. Not once this season has this team beat up on anyone. We haven’t enjoyed one victory where it was a clear cut win where we were firing on all cylinders. Instead we’ve had to endure at least 2-3 quarters of WTF! football almost every game.
Sunday we host a team playing as poorly as us. I know the ANY GIVEN SUNDAY deal, but it’s time for this team to show a sign of life, and kick someone’s teeth in! We have been beaten down and shut out and embarrassed and undressed and tied to motorboats and have the fishes eat at us, but ENOUGH! Time for this team to give us a game where they kick ass from start to finish, a good old fashioned ass kicking BLOWOUT!
I’m not going to post the usual slogans on the bottom, GO DOLPHINS! Zero in! I think they take that too literally, and they’re trying so hard to get zero.

MF13:
I disagree with your analysis. You are focused strictly on numbers and not on the game film. Watching the games there is a huge difference in our offensive efficiency and it does show most notably in points scored. One big number you seem to gloss over is yards per attempt. Cutler is under 6 which is putrid by NFL standards. Last year Tannehill was well over 7. This is reflective was much better at getting the ball downfield that what Cutler is able to do this year. Historically Tannehill struggled with that but last year he made huge strides in his deep passing game. This not about my personal sentiments about Tannehill it is about watching the game and you cherry picking numbers
Operator…would you help me make this call….
You see the number on the match book is old and faded…….
^ GREAT SONG
But this is what I’m getting at. Ross did a great job on the stadium. No doubting that and I can’t say as though I blame him because that’s what all team owners do/want; a beautiful stadium. But, that’s the game to me.
He made it a nice atmosphere for fans to come to and enjoy the game. Made shade areas for the fans to make it more tolerable on hot days. Put in fancy restaurants for the upper crust. Thing is, as long as people are filling the seats because of how nice the place is he’s going to be happy. The team will always come last. He’s a real estate developer. He knows how to get asses in seats and make money from it and the fans who want to see a winning team will just have to wait.
Ken,
I explicitly stated in my OG post from last night that Cutler’s Y/A are significantly down this year from his career average. I’m not sure what you’re talking about, my friend. I’ve accounted for EVERYTHING. Root cause? Gase is having him dink and dunk all game, all year.
You may want to go back to my OG post! 🙂
And contrary to what you may think, I am NOT dissing Tannehill… not in the least. I saw his massive strides with the deep ball last year. At least Gase didn’t make him dink and dunk all game, all year last season.
Same playcaller last year as this so I don’t buy that explanation. Last Tannehill got the ball down field this year Cutler doesn’t
Again, we both observe this phenomenon. Why, I ask, is Adam Gase handcuffing Jay Cutler with dinks-and-dunks?
I’m right with the board consensus on the OL….but also sadly makes me laugh at how what we got out of Cutler matches up real well with what I had read for a good long time about him from Bears fans. Dude is an emotional roller coaster. Every time you think you are out on him….he pulls you back in. And that comes from a guy who put him on his FF roster after one preseason game. 🙂
What I see when I compare Cutler and Tannehill is that Cutler is afraid to take a hit. He is constantly back pedaling, has happy feet and is throwing off his back foot with piss poor mechanics. I think this leads a lot to the check down passing game. Tannehill was much better at standing tall in the pocket and yes he took more sacks but he got the ball down field better. I also don’t think it is a significant difference in OL but I think it’s a difference in how the 2 of them handle the pressure
10, 17, 7, 14, 6 and 14. Those were our offensive outputs in some games last year. People seem to forget that this offense has not been proficient in years.
As opposed to 0 0 and 6. You are cherry picking numbers. What was the average last year vs what is the average this year
Folkers, lets play a game tomorrow. Every time Adam Gase calls for a bubble-screen from Cutler, take a shot of your favorite liquor. I GUARANTEE you’ll be azz-out by halftime, and I’M the one who VERY seldom makes a guarantee or makes a bet. I’d be willing to bet a very large sum of $$$ on this!
“But, but… Tannehill was winging the ball downfield last year! He’s better than Cutler!”
Um… ask Adam Gase why he’s handcuffing Cutler. Cutler isn’t the problem, ADAM GASE is the problem.
And again, Tannehill and Cutler’s statistical outputs are the same. Actually, Cutler’s on pace for more TDs and fewer INTs than Tannehill.
It’s true that Gase has handcuffed Cutler and it’s very disheartening when you look at other teams that have qb’s that are less experienced and their OC’s and HC’s are running their offenses instead of dumbing things down.
San Fran only has one win but it’s not stopping Shanahan from giving the entire playbook to Beathard and running the same offense. He’s not dumbed down anything just because he’s got a rookie qb in there.
I’d be drunk as anything on that, but then also give credit to Gase for the fact that I would. Leaving aside where the OL is….a big factor he has to scheme around is Cutler is gun-shy and that was the last thing Tanny was. And if Cutler knows he is not going to get hit his game gets better.
Cutler is gun shy? In what way? You gotta splain that one.
He is scared of taking hits.
Just like Ken said.
not according to Suh he’s not and he hasn’t shown that all season. I’ve seen a guy who’ll throw the ball at the feet of a rb or te to avoid the sack and the lost yds and have seen a guy who moves well in the pocket to avoid the pressure and buy time but I think you’re way off the mark on that one.
I can tell you right now why Gase dumped Ajayi, Ajayi was bitching at Gase for not getting enough carries in the game
Getting ready to watch Wisconsin/Michigan. Defense, run game, big o-line, and TEs, Wisconsin is my kind of football team.
Look at how the amount of carries by Ajayi relates to winning and losing, if Ajayi runs over 20 times Miami wins plain and simple, when he doesn’t they lose.
I’d bet Ajayi was pissed over gases decision to not give him the ball, to make him watch his team get beat like that
1. we survived SD, Cutler didn’t look bad Ajayi 28 carries rushed for 122 yards.W
2. the Jets crushed us, Cultler passed for 226, ajayi ran 11 times for 16 yards
3. new orleans crushed us, cutler threw for 164 yards ajayi ran 12 times for 46 yards
4. titans Cutler threw for 96 yards, Ajayi ran 25 times for 77 yards W
5. Atl Cutler threw for 151 yards, Ajayi ran 26 times for 130 yards
6. NYJ Moore 180 yards, Ajayi ran 23 times for 51 yards
7. Balt Moore 176 yards, Ajayi ran 13 times for 23 yards
8. raiders 16 carries
9. carolina 16 carries
We have to run the ball to have a chance to win
GO CANES

———–
Okay! Now you’re talking! Good post.
I would attribute this to bringing Cutler out of retirement and knocking the rust off, coupled with the fact that he’s playing with cracked ribs now. What’s more, I do believe that our O-Line is significantly worse this year than last, and Cutler is trying to acclimate himself with a new team. These aren’t excuses, these are FACTS.
I think(?) the point you’re trying to make is that our team would be better this year with Tannehill rather than Cutler. However, that’s a moot point… Tannehill is out for the year, another FACT. We can’t play woulda, coulda, shoulda in lieu of these FACTS. We can only do the best we can do with the hand we’ve been dealt.
Again, this is NOT about Tannehill vs Cutler and who is the better QB… this is about what is wrong with our team this year. But for the sake of what seems to be your argument (not mine), I DO believe we’d be considerably better with Tannehill, of course! That, to me, is a NO BRAINER and for obvious reasons (see my 2nd paragraph above!).
MY argument is that we’re getting the same statistical output from the QB position (never mind WHO the funk is playing QB!) this year as we did last year. I think that’s where we’re getting our wires crossed, Bro. The QB position, IMO, is NOT where we’re failing this year. We can’t run the damned ball, making our Offense 1-dimensional. What’s more (and for the 43209752495th time, LOL), Gase keeps calling for dinks-and-dunks with Cutler’s rocket launcher.
Does anybody now realize why I’d theorized that Cutler may be nursing an undisclosed injury? Between all of the dinking-and-dunking and trying to avoid pressure like the plague, it DOES stand to reason. I’m NOT crazy…yet. LOL 😀
I think we are not running as well because no one is respecting our pass game. It’s not just the OL. And yes I agree we need to improve the OL. But because of our inability to throw downfield teams are playing their safeties up in run support. I also don’t buy into the undisclosed injury theory because there are league rules about reporting injuries. Teams can get into serious trouble if they are found to be in violation of those rules. And yes I do think we would have been a better team with Tannehill under center this year. I get your point when you say it is moot to compare the 2 because Tannehill is injured and we can’t change that but my point was to those who are calling for this team to be blown up. I don’t see the need to blow up the team but rather we have holes to fill and we need our starting QB back
Ken,
Of course i’m cherry picking. It’s what we do around here! Lol Just like you are cherry picking with Tannehill and his ability to throw deep or manage the pocket LAST year when it has not been that way his whole career. Or pointing out wins as a positive for Tannehill now but said it was a “team” stat when we were losing. Frankly, I think his downfield throws…which are very few….improved more because of Stills and Parker than Tannehill…but maybe i’m cherry picking.

😆
Tell that to SUH!!! Cutler is NOT afraid to stand in the pocket and take a hit! He’s one of the very best in the biz at standing in there and getting CREAMED. Suh has attested to as much and VERY much respects Cutler for it.
But wait a minute… what if Cutler has been nursing an undisclosed injury as I’ve theorized? Perhaps that would explain why he’s been acting “gun shy”?
All of the sudden, I don’t look so nuts after all… even after taking a lot of pot shots from others here. Hmmmm…
Might be an injury, might be the OL or maybe a combination of wisdom, don’t come back like before, and ten million sounded nice for one year. But pretty clear that dude is gun shy for whatever reason. But then Matt Moore — who am not saying is in a given game — also figured back-up QB is a pretty smart long-term career move.
LMAO!
By the way, I definitely credit Tanny for being strong in the pocket. I think it had something to do with his very poor mobility INSIDE the pocket too, but the kid stood in there tough. Cutler definitely appears to be a little gunshy to me, but I kind of expected that from him. He’s always tended to throw fade away passes. He also manages the pocket much better than Tanny ever has.
Riley Ferguson with a bonehead pick but brought them back on next drive for a TD. WR Anthony Miller is kicking ass again.
We are still just too easy to defend. It’s not all on any QB we trot out there. We need to figure out a way to change that. Gase has to take on the responsibility for that. We seem to just keep doing the same shit over and over.
Gase has said this. He also said he’s no longer watering down the offense. Guys either start getting it or he’ll find guys who can. Whether this year or in 2018.
http://dailydolphin.blog.palmbeachpost.com/2017/11/01/adam-gase-overhauls-dolphins-practice-structure-meetings-more/
I dont think Gase gets it
I think he believes in his system because he’s seen it work at a high level. Yes that was with Peyton but the other 10 guys have to do their jobs too.
My boy Benkert 7 of 7 for 86 yds and a td vs Miami so far.
wow. Benkert now 10 for 10 178 yds and two td’s as UVA goes up 14-0 on Canes.
lou,
I’m rooting for Beathard because he’s from Iowa, but his production is pathetic. Yes, it has to do with that craptastic team, but 4 TDs, 5 INTs, about 55 completion % and around a 70 QB rating is bad any way you cut it. Garrapolo not playing isn’t because Beathard is better. Beathard will be on the bench by the end of the year or next year if SF just doesn’t want to put G in a bad situation or trade him! Kudos to C.J. for playing tough and taking advantage of this opportunity though.
Beathard is a lot better than you give him credit for. Jimmy G ain’t going to do anything with this team. Beathard is the better player.
Yeah Randy — Cutler just plays scared in the face of pressure. Can’t really blame him though….I would be too given what an NFL QB faces on any given play. Still a certain relative aspect when it comes to that stuff though. Some guys are just fearless in any given situation and some not….no matter the other kinds of talent.
Will be interesting to see if Tanny is the same on that end when he comes back after the two injuries.
lou,
You can say that, but his stats suggest otherwise. You point out his intangibles, but if they don’t result in actual production on the field, who cares?
With time. I suggested they sit him for a year to learn but he’s going to be a good one
If you like defense, the Wisconsin/Michigan game is a good one. The only score was on special teams.
Randy – Dig your 12:12PM post – No doubt we ALL cherry pick what helps us make our point
rgs,
Or watch good OL play!
🙂
The more I think about it, the more I want to get Quenton Nelson-OG in the 1st. I haven’t wanted a OL this much in the 1st round since Zack Martin and David DeCastro.
Michigan is starting to take control of this game.
Big TD drive by Wisconsin and now Michigan’s QB is down. …not good for the Wolverines.

Rey Maualuga, arrested last nite in Miami, is being waived by the Miami Dolphins.
What a dumbass!!!
If you didn’t know Rey Maluaga was arrested last night – actually this morning
He was arrested at 8:30
He refused to pay a $40 tab and allegedly choked some one
We have more off field bullshit under Gase that any other coach
malluaga waived by Miami
Good
And maybe we get a chance to see Anthony play
I think they may go back to Hull
Deveon Smith was promoted off the practice squad, thanks Ray M we now have a RB!
Ray was with Foerster last night
Oh Yeah……GO CANES!!!!!!
WTF, is it the FLA water?
What a game by Benkert. Reinforced for me what I already thought of the kid. He’s going to be a good one at the next level.
He sure had a nice pick 6!
Yeah, and he sure had a nice 4 td’s as well
LOU; Are our current scouts smart enough to pick him?
Not even if Monty Burns was hitting Tannenbaum in the back of the head with a baseball bat.
Don’t they have team meetings on Saturdays?
“According to the arrest report … Maualuga was confronted by an employee at club E11EVEN about an outstanding $40 tab around 8:20 AM [this morning]. Rey allegedly became upset and refused to pay. The employee claims he asked him to pay again, and Rey grabbed him by the throat and shoved him. Rey was then kicked out by security and detained by cops, who arrested him.”
BREAKING: After finding out the Dolphins waived Maualuga the club has hired him as a bouncer.
Not like Maualuga was anything more than a stop gap to begin with and since the season is already over it really doesn’t matter. Only thing that does matter is this team is still a shit show because of stuff like this.
Poor leadership at the top of this organization shows big time.
I TOTALLY agree with you!!!
yep, and I agree 100% with your assessment that Ross needs to get the hell out.
Lou — know you have been a Dolphins fan since the 70’s…..not like we didn’t live the tray break, Cecil Collins and Phillips. So been though before. You live local? Fest or not would be great to go to a game with you some time.
I’m in PA and it’s extremely tough for me to get to a game. Have way too much other stuff going on. To be honest, I’d much rather go to a college game than a pro game. But, I do appreciate the invite.
No problem….you would be most welcome. Lots of people fly in from all over each year for the Fest and if you ever want to head down for a game just let me know.
What part of PA? Dad grew up in the Philly area and been a long time Pirates fan.
Near Scranton; home of Dunder Mifflin. lol.
WHEN SUN-BAKED STADIUM was renovated, most of us HOPED that the Spirit of the historic Orange Bowl somehow would be resurrected at Steve Ross’s Stadium. WE hoped and we hoped as one non-winning season after another took place. Last year our hopes were raised as the Fins FINALLY had a winning season. But the Fins blowout loss in the playoffs was a precursor of things to come. The latest news on Melaleuga is yet another sordid chapter in what has become a disaster of a season for the Fins and what’s left of their fan base. Alas, this season will be looked upon as a failure by those of us who’d expected MUCH MORE!!!
————-
Yet, over the last three weekends, the Spirit of the historic Orange Bowl has arisen from the ashes!! –The Miami Hurricanes produced convincing, CRUSHING, victories over back-to-back weekends by clobbering a very good Virginia Tech team and a fraud of a team known as Notre Dame. But, today, it looked as though the Kings of Swag had met their match! Down 28-14, it looked to many that “The U” was done! But, behold, the Spirit of the Orange Bowl seemed to appear out of no where!! The smoke, the screams, the high energy of the historic stadium was apparent for all to see as the Canes, most improbably, rolled off 30 STRAIGHT POINTS and destroyed a VERY GOOD Virginia Cavalier team that, for the first 3 quarters, certainly made the founder of that grand university (Thomas Jefferson) proud!!
IT WAS MORE THAN AWESOME!! –IT WAS TRULY UNBELIEVABLE!! — It was a step back in time when all things were possible! FIVE National Championships? –YOU got ’em!! –An all time record 59 consecutive home wins over an 11 year period??? –HELL, YES, you can look itg up in the record books!!! HOWS about the PERFECT SEASON and 34 consecutive home wins by the Dolphins from ’71 thru ’74???? –OH, ABSOLUTELY!!! Our college team and our NFL team absolutely THRIVED in the horror show known as The Historic Orange Bowl!! Yes it’s NO COINCIDENCE that the longest home winning streaks in both major college football and the NFL were achieved at the incomparable Orange Bowl!!
But for so many, many years, the Spirit of the historic Orange Bowl seemed forever buried under a place now called “Marlins Park.” But, today, if only for a few hours, the Spirit of the Orange Bowl returned with a vengeance!! The Old Dolfan was a kid, again, screaming my lungs out and celebrating as only the young can! It was heaven!! The University of Miami has found the Spirit.
CAN DOLFANS, TOO, find the Spirit? I doubt it will happen under Steve Ross. It will take new, wise, leadership for our favorite franchise to return to its former greatness. BUT, thanks to taday’s events, I’m convinced IT CAN HAPPEN IN THIS VERY STADIUM!!
————
Some say I’m living in the past. To that I reply, “What a GREAT PAST TO BE STUCK IN!!” Maybe, some day, all Dolfans will, once, again, be stuck in a present that truly reminds us of those incredible days in the historic Orange Bowl.
Yeah — Hurricanes are for real for the first time in a good long time. And we know where they played and do now. Maybe that will bring some orange bowl magic for the Phins at Hard Rock manana. Was happy to see the reports that the turf is much better now……but we’ll see.
LOL
$40
Brilliant
How much money does Malalugalugalugaluga lose over this?
More than $40?
Yeah — heard he was hanging out with “the wrong crowd”…..maybe sometimes rumors are not just that.
It’s hard to believe what these guys throw away sometimes.
his brother Bob Malugalugalugaluga isn’t happy
lol
Just dumb! SMH
E11even is a strip club near where the heat play, open 24/7, near where i worked on the Federal Detention Center down there in the early 90s
And now Maualuga will be working at a 7 Eleven
Bad part of town to be hanging at a strip club! Overtown Miami
I’m not sure but i think Miami hurricanes played it’s last game at hard rock this year, they plat at pitt and ayt Clemson for the ACC, and maybe the college playoffs but i think that will be held in atlanta
Clemson Game will be played at a neutral location
Oklahoma is playing Kansas today and Oklahoma St is playing Kansas St. They plan this shit?

Never been to Scranton, but been to a lot of places in PA. Dad’s family was from Allentown area and been to the Philly area a bunch for work (Harrisburg as well)…..even went to a wedding at State College where the bride wore white and the grooms blue. 🙂
Not familiar with Dunder Mifflin…is that a big company your way?
Stanger, have you ever watched “The Office”?
it’s the paper company in The Office. lol
Heard about the show but never watched….guess why missed the joke. But you two are our two Keystone State guys on the same thread. So that works too.
Lou — you originally from Florida or just grab onto the Phins?…..that’s what I did in my first football game ever watched. Cowboys won the Superbowl, but here I am on a dolphins board.
actually, I was a Steelers fan if you could believe it but decided to start following Miami in the year they went to their first SB.
You missed some great year with Steelers after that….but not like ’72 and ’73 weren’t good ones. You ever been to a Dolphins home game? As a former cold weather guy who used to come down once a year…..lots of advantages to that other than just the game.
As of right now, Adam Gase is #32 in Offensive points. If this holds true to the end of the season, it will be the worst Offense our Miami Dolphins have ever fielded in it’s 51 year history.
Worse than Philbin (#27)
Worse than Sparano (#30)
Worse than Camoron (#26)
Worse than Saban (#29)
Worse than Winestache (#28)
NOT POSITIVE but I believe the ACC Championship game (Clemson vs. Miami) will be played either in Atlanta or Charlotte. BTW, the Charlotte turf STILL SMELLS from the huge turd left behind by the Dolphins’ loss to the Panthers.
Charlotte for ACC, Atlanta for SEC along with the Peach Bowl.
Yep, I believe Joe Robbie met the devil at the crossings and they made a deal that would damn this team for eternity.
But you ever been to a Dolphins home game? You go to one and all of a sudden football doesn’t matter quite as much. You think we’d get all those people to the Fest if we were playing in Kansas City or Green Bay?
Heck….I live here cause of what my football team was in large part.
So Maualuga does something stupid off the field and some of you blame the FO? These aren’t children. Ever hear of personal responsibility? As if players all across the league don’t do stupid shit. Blame the individual, not the team.
ANY CHANCE THE FO didn’t do their due diligence??? –ANY CHANCE this is ‘Luga’s first brush with the law?? YOU BET YER ASS, TIM, I’m blaming the FO!! You can defend these incompetent assholes all you want, Tim, but the bitter truth is this: The Fins have more than their share of irresponsible misfits and it’s partially due to the people in the FO who do a shitty job of vetting these free agents and jerks we acquire by trades. And, shall we discuss the idiotic draft choices made during the reign of Ross??
————
Losers always find an excuse. Winners always ask “What could we have done better to avoid these fiascos?”” So how about some personal responsibility from the front office people appointed by Ross who have run this franchise into the ground??? “Naw, let’s blame ‘Luga. We didn’t do anything wrong.”
Ya, right.
Lol
Yep. Leadership starts at the top and when you have poor leadership at the top you’ll have poor people throughout your organization because that’s who poor leadership will bring in.
So if you did this, it would be your company’s fault?
Keeping him around like the Browns are doing with Josh Gordon is a lack of leadership. Cutting him shows leadership. You’re just on an anti-Dolphins tirade of late along with Lou and you both reach for anything you can to keep that going. This has nothing to do with football. Ross, the FO and coaches can’t babysit these guys. I’m shocked you look at it this way.

The Dolphins are promoting RB De’Veon Smith from the practice squad.
Mayfield grabbing his crotch and taunting Kansas players after that TD is totally unnecessary and is what scares me about this kid. Will he be immature at the next level?
Maualuga was also brought in as a stopgap not as some great investment. He fucked up and now he’s gone. It’s not like this team keeps dealing with troubled guys on a consistent basis. Who would fit that profile?
Maybe not the same guy but one thing after another. Foerster most recently. Dion Jordan
Where are they now? Do you not believe in personal responsibility? This team doesn’t tolerate this kind of behavior once they find out about it. That’s what’s getting lost here. Jordan really had nothing to do with the current regime. He never played for them. All of these individuals have been jettisoned as soon as the intel came out or they were done with the nonsense too many times (Jordan) because that’s not what they want as part of their org. I guess Jordan is okay for the Seahawks though.
YOU’RE RIGHT, TIM. The FO has brought in nothing but terrific personnel who have NEVER caused the coaches any problems. They’re all terrific people and great football players. That’s why we’ve won all those playoff games and Super Bowls with the current Front Office. We don’t need to change a thing.
Give me some names since Tannebaum/Grier and Gase? Great football players has nothing to do with the subject. We’re talking character flaws. I’m just looking for examples and how they were tolerated. Can you give me one?
Have a game to play tmrw. And as we think about Maualuga, the Bucs players have something to think about as well.
————————
The NFL is investigating an allegation involving Jameis Winston and an unnamed woman. This was always the risk when the Bucs drafted Winston: their franchise quarterback would make the wrong kinds of headlines as a pro, just as he did in college. This time Winston is alleged to have grabbed an Uber driver in the crotch during a drive-thru stop in the early hours of March 13, 2016. If it’s true, it’s disgusting and suspension-worthy.
Winston says: “The story falsely accuses me of making inappropriate contact with this driver. I believe the driver was confused as to the number of passengers in the car and who was sitting next to her. I denied the allegations to Uber, yet they still decided to suspend my account.”
The driver says there was only one rider in the car. As of this writing, Winston’s camp has not identified any other passengers with him that night.
It’s crazy, I thought Winston and the Bucs were going to take the next step this year. You never know what’s gonna happen with players – off the field, performance, injuries etc.
We really need to win this game. This team needs a win in the worst way.
UCF stays undefeated!
War on I-4 next week against USF to finish off the regular season.
The first UCF team to ever go this far into a season undefeated.
CONGRATS to your boys, SON!! They should beat USF by at least 14!!
Maualuga has been playing pretty good too. Dumb ass. $40 is a lap dance, pay the lady you cheap bastard.
Okay, I’ve heard 7/11, bar tab and now a lap dance. LOL
E11even is the name of the club. A strip club. I’m just assuming it’s a lap dance.
It could be a Courvoisier
Ahhh… my KAVA… “The drink of the gods”. Rey Maualuga should’ve been drinking kava last night/this morning. And if he was, BAD IDEA to mix it with alcohol.
You know something, maybe the hurricane really screwed up both of our teams for the season, Bucs and Dolphins. It has to be considered because the Bucs were supposed to be contenders, and the Dolphins were to, although to a lesser extent.
I think the Hurricanes really screwed up our home field.
LOL – That too
😀
Wow, Kam Chancellor may be out for the season with a neck injury
Yeah I just saw that. That’ll hurt.
If y’all think it’s time to move on from Matt Moore as our backup QB, I’d say it’s time to draft one in ’18. And by draft one, I’m talking about a potential future replacement for Tannehill as well, in case he’s damaged goods (pray he isn’t!).
What do y’all think of this idea?
I’d make a play for Brissett and open up the competition
I’d be cool with that, but I’d make a play for Case Keenum instead.
Between Tannehill and Brissett and let Moore walk
Son, okay I was late to the info. and just going by what I read.
Pretty cool website to compare stats about players arrests. Clearly wide receivers are the biggest douchebags (excepting this blog of course).

GOOD NEWS from Howard Schnellenberger Field in Shula Bowl 16; FAU-14, FIU-0, still in the first quarter. Heisman Trophy candidate (don’t laugh) Devin Singletary just scored his 23rd rushing TD of the season and 24th over all with a 70-yard TD scamper. “Motor” Singletary already has 107 yards rushing on 7 attempts, still in the 1st quarter!! And he’s only a sophomore!!!
Mayfield is the only QB I’d draft
I’ve got to do more homework on this year’s class of QBs, but I like Mayfield as well.
Case Keenum’s Spectacular Game w/ 4 TDs! | Vikings vs. Redskins | Wk 10 Player Highlights
———
I still can’t get over Case’s near 50-yard, all-air bomb to Adam Thielen at the 2:08 mark… GEEZ!!! Cutler’s longest all-air throw went for 55 yards back when he was a Bronco.
And VERY few can light Josh Norman up the way Keenum did last week!

OD, these are the kinds of conversations that get snippy when people disagree. You and I disagree about Ross and the people in charge of the team and that’s okay. But we did make the playoffs last year in Gase’s first season. At 4-5 this season with the offseason and in-season we’ve had has sucked, but to doubt everything they do is unfair to me. A lot of stuff has gone on. We don’t have to agree on everything.
On a personal level, we’ve talked about about a lot of things in life that we agree on and to me none of this is personal other than football opinions. We all want the same thing, to see this team get to the highest of levels. Nothing I say is a personal attack on your character because I think you’re a good person. We’ve never met and those who have met you have told me you’re a great guy and I agree. Would love to meet you someday so you can see how easy it is to discuss this stuff on a more personal and less heated degree.
My comments about you living in the past is that it was a different era and today’s game is no longer the same. That’s my main point. The Shula days and 3-a-days when a HC ran the team overall is over. That’s all.
I hope you understand. I really don’t want to be yours or anyone else’s adversary. That is not my quest 🙂
Go Phins!!!
M13, Adam Thielen is the real deal. I picked him up in FF early on when I had guys go down and he’s been a steal. That kid can play and the Vikings knew it last year and gave him a nice contract. He can line up anywhere and run any route. 6-2 200, fluidly fast for the game, good football IQ and very good hands They talk about a QB’s friend, he’s that. He can play with any QB.
I’m actually thinking of trading Aaron Rodgers, Jared Goff, Julio Jones and Odell Beckham in the offseason in my 4 protect league, and roll with Carson Wentz, Todd Gurley, Alvin Kamara and Adam Thielen. Then go heavy WR/TE with all my early picks. WR and even TE is the easiest position to find production.
I know you’re not a FF guy but just humor me and what I’m doing. I’m looking at the now and who’s producing. Also the future.
Never mind, I can’t trade both Rodgers and Goff.
Goff was an IR move for Rodgers. One of them.
I’d love to humor ya with some FF advice, but I have absolutely zero FF intelligence. I don’t even know how ya score points in FF.
It’s about players and production. Do you feel my final 4 moving forward are going to be productive NFL players?
Carson Wentz, Todd Gurley, Alvin Kamara and Adam Thielen? Yes, but I think you could do better than those 4. KEEP Julio, get rid of OBJ is what I’d tell ya.

I am watching Rozen vs Darnold and Rozen just looked ridiculously good on the last drive

M13, Julio is a great talent who is always dealing with injuries, very questionable week to week and he has 1 TD this year. He’s missed or left games late in the year when I needed him. Is it a trend or is he gonna take off the next year or so. I think it’s the former. I’ve been wrong before. Like I said, receivers are the most abundant position in the NFL = FF.
I’m also the highest ranked team in the league with those guys leading the way at 7-3 with the highest power ranking 🙂
Impressive how well Rosen hangs in the pocket
I heard he’s a bit of a douche.
Maybe so but he has talent
Yes do did Manziel. It’s starting to come out that this QB class is not so great as they portrayed it in the offseason. Fools gold. I’m sure one or two will be solid at the least. But it doesn’t sound so great anymore.
That was the worst fga ever
I wonder if with Maualuga gone do we just roll with Hull or mix and match with Allen and Anthony in the mix as well. Burke may move the LBs around moving forward. He said we have to mix things up better. We’re being too predictable. Same as the offense.
We need to win this week as we try to find the right groupings moving forward. Get to 5-5. 4-6 will suck and be a downer losing 4 in a row and lose the fanbase and confidence overall.
I know you want to be positive about this season and, believe me, I respect that. I really do. But, losing out could be a blessing in disguise because if could force the entire team to take a really good look at itself and understand that things aren’t as good as they may have thought they were and make the tough choices they may not have made if we won more games.
To me, if we win more games and end up going to the playoffs at 8-8 or 9-7 just because the other team became a shit heap isn’t going to get us to the rock bottom we need to hit to dig deep and take that hard look at every aspect of what we do to fix things. I fear they end up with a flawed outlook that things are better than they thought or not that bad and they just roll with the same old, same old and we end up stuck in perpetual mediocrity.
Then they stand there and scratch their heads and say, “just don’t understand it”.
Employees are a reflection of the organization they work for. When organizations have principles and values they live by it is reflected throughout in everyone they hire from top to bottom.
So, yes, the fact that players do things like what Maualuga did is a reflection of, or on, the organization. A lot of organizations are monitoring social media accounts of employees to see what’s being posted and they hold their employees responsible for making derogatory comments. They know how things like that can reflect negatively on their companies and cause people to stop doing business with them. Look at how advertisers drop celebs or sports figures or stop promoting their products during certain television shows because of the negative aspect of these actions.
A team needs to do a better job of making their players understand what is and what isn’t acceptable and apparently the people in charge in Miami didn’t make it clear to the players that hanging out at a strip joint until 8:30 in the morning wasn’t acceptable behavior for one of their players.
So, yeah, I agree with OD on this as we’ve not done a great job from top to bottom with the organization and have hired people who have poor leadership skills and it also reflects very negatively on the ownership. It starts with Ross and he’s got to take responsibility for the shortcomings.
And just to expand a bit on this, yes these guys are supposed to be adults but they’ve been coddled most of their adult lives from the time they were recruited to play in college, throughout their four years in college and then in the NFL where they’ve earned a lot more money than the average working class individual.
From their college days to their pro days they’ve had people look at them in admiration for how they played a game and screaming their names and cheering for them and a lot of them have trouble dealing with the money and the fame.
So, yes, they may be adults in terms of age but just because they are big time jocks doesn’t mean there’s not a lot of mental midgets out there. The Spanish would call it Machismo.
IT’S ALL OVER IN BOCA RATON!!!—Florida Atlantic blows out another opponent, FIU, 52-24 in the 17th Annual Shula Bowl. QB Jason Driskell was 18-25 for 239 yards and 4 T.D.’s while Devin Singletary ran for 172 yards and 2 more T.D.’s, bringing his season total to 25 touchdowns, TOPS in NCAA Division I football. Next up, a totally overmatched Charlotte club in Charlotte this coming Saturday at 2:00 PM. FAU should be favored by 3 or more touchdowns.
————-
Tonight’s Shula Bowl win clinched the C-USA east division title for FAU. They’ll play the Conference USA Championship at Howard Schnellenberger Field in a couple of weeks. Me and Mrs. OD plan on being there for the festivities on Saturday, then on to the Denver Broncos at the Dolphins on Sunday, Dec. 3rd. Hope many of you Dolfans are present.
Just win the game at home tomorrow and go from there. 🙂
Tim,
I’m going to have to disagree (what are the chances, right?) with you about Tannehill being the starter in ’18 and the reason for that is because Tannehill doesn’t put butts in the seats. However, a player like Mayfield would. I’m not saying that I’m a big fan of his or that I think he’s worth taking the shot but he’s Ross’ type of guy even if Tannehill may be Gase’s type of guy.
I can picture he and Tannenbaum walking together something like this:
Ross is a businessman first and foremost. He’s got a stadium to pay for and he’s got to keep the seats filled. He’s not stupid. He pays attention to who the “hot” names are and will no doubt see all the hype surrounding Mayfield and will want Tannenbaum to go up and get him.
So, I’m fully expecting us to do that, especially if we are close enough because we end up with a shitty record.
I can’t fathom how it’s anybody else’s fault other than the person who committed the crime.
definitely. ultimately the player is responsible for his own actions.
But you blame the FO for not telling the players what is and isn’t acceptable for what could and would be a million different things. The NFL has a conduct policy as I’m sure the Phins prob do as well. But somehow once again, let’s blame Ross. Next he’ll be blamed for the weather……
If that’s what you got out of that I don’t know what to tell you
get up everyone! where’s the game day blog beaches
next year Tannehill will start under a restructured knee and contract and moore will be his back-up, Cutler will be in the play by play booth and we’ll take a CB with our first pick.
everyone’s trying to change the qb situation but i doubt the powers that make the call share your concern.
That said i really do think we need a better back-up, i have never liked Moore, he has no velocity on his throws
I disagree. As I said in my comment above, Steve Ross likes names. That’s why we signed Suh. He IS Anthony Molina. Ross see’s all the hype surrounding Mayfield and he’ll want his shiny new toy so he can fill up the seats at the stadium and in his fancy restaurants so he can rake in the dough.
i wouldn’t mind if we had Cutler backing up Tanny
With the latest arrest this has been a season of embarrassment for Miami, from Timmons going awol to foerester snorting cocaine in his office to now this crap, now let’s add Tannehill going down to the hurricane all the other injuries/suspension. it’s been a whirlwind to say the least.
KEYS TO THE GAME,
It doesn’t matter how many yards we gain the only stat that matters is Rushing Attempts.
if we rush the ball 23 or more times we WIN! .
if we don’t we lose!
it’s that simple.
we are undefeated as a team when we rush the ball 23 times or more.
we are win-less when we don’t.
CAN SOMEONE PLEASE RELAY THIS TO GASE??????
OFF TO WORK SEE YOU AT GAME TIME
So, if we lose today but other teams that are right with us or a game ahead of us lose too is anybody still going to be going thru the scenarios that can still get us into the playoffs? lol
I hope we win today just for Tim. Tim is the fan who never gives up and always remains optimistic to the very end and he deserves a win today. Not being sarcastic here.
Another guy to add to your watch list: Chris Peace, Jr OLB from Virginia.
Thanks, will check him out. Been looking at LB’s/CB’s who will/could be there in 3rd or 4th round.
sorry. he’s probably not coming out in ’18. maybe but I doubt it. I meant to keep an eye on for next year. I’m ahead a year on some of these guys.
Just like Sutton Smith from NIU. He’s only a sophomore this season but if you liked TJ Watt this is a guy you might want to start watching because he’s something to see. He’s only 6′ 225 lbs and they have him playing DE. He’s so strong and fast he beats guys off the edge and inside all the time. Was leading the nation in sacks. Has 13 now and 27.5 tfl’s.
This is the QB I would like to draft. He has a cannon and quick release. Does throw a bad INT in start of video of the game yesterday. IMO he will still be there in 3rd round.
Also, if we lose Landry, # 3 Anthony Miller is who I want to replace him. Has 217 rec, 3196 yards, 32 TD’s in career at Memphis.
Miller would definitely be a great option for Landry.
We all hated losing the bye week, but least we are facing Tampa without Winston and not like we aren’t familiar with Fitzpatrick. Plus yesterday we go some new incentive…..lets win this one for Rey. 🙂
I meant to take Alabama center with that last pick but accidently clicked on ILB Scales. Scales could be an upgrade over Hull though.
Round 1 Pick 16: Mike McGlinchey, OT, Notre Dame (B-)
Round 2 Pick 16: Mark Andrews, TE, Oklahoma (A-)
Round 3 Pick 16: Ogbonnia Okoronkwo, OLB, Oklahoma (A-)
Round 4 Pick 16: Deatrick Nichols, CB, South Florida (A)

Round 7 Pick 10: Tony Adams, OG, North Carolina State (B+)
Round 7 Pick 16: Tegray Scales, ILB, Indiana (B)
if Cleveland is the mistake by the lake, surely We are becoming the mistake by the Caribbean.
Maulugie ? 40 bucks is worth ending the season of fat paychecks on a $980,000 one year contract? Without whipping out a calendar, he lost well over
$400,000 for the rest of the season.
He needs a good financial advisor, He sucks at it, lol and SMH for the fading Fins. We seem to have a leadership problem at the top.
With coaches snorting illegal substance off hookers asses, and player arrests over bar tabs ,
The inmates are running the prison.
We will be getting a good pick in next years draft, maybe a top ten.
The Caribbean doesn’t make mistakes
DOLPHINS INACTIVES: G Isaac Asiata, QB David Fales, DB Jordan Lucas, WR Leonte Carroo, OT Zach Sterup, RB De’Veon Smith, CB Torry McTyer.
——————
Carroo inactive means that Stills back is better….but him being inactive is not a real good sign for him unless he himself is dinged.
Anthony is finally active
Thanks to Ray
forget anthony,,,, leveon smith is active. i hope he sees some action.
Remember anything less than 23 rushing attempts we lose any more we win….SIMPLE
This one came out decent as well.
Round 1 Pick 16: Mike McGlinchey, OT, Notre Dame (B-)
Round 2 Pick 16: Will Clapp, C/OG, LSU (A-)
Round 3 Pick 16: Hayden Hurst, TE, South Carolina (A)
Round 4 Pick 16: Uchenna Nwosu, OLB, Southern California (A)
Round 4 Pick 32: Riley Ferguson, QB, Memphis (B-)
Round 6 Pick 16: Jerry Tillery, DT, Notre Dame (A)
Round 7 Pick 10: Levi Wallace, CB, Alabama (A-)
Round 7 Pick 16: Akrum Wadley, RB, Iowa (A-)
For draft guys like you is doing these know like training camp? A chance to explore what is out there and learn about them?
i’ve learned long ago that what the public sees as glaring weaknesses to this team is far different than what the FO sees.
anyone have any good recipes for honeybaked ham?
for thanksgiving
I would try putting honey on a ham and baking it 🐷
and i would try putting leveon smith in as the running back and make sure he gets 23 carries
We’re never going to hear the end of it if Brent Grimes gets an INT today. So please, no INTs for Brent!
Will be interesting to see is Miko is there today. Real polite stadium, but could end up for her being like Santa In Philly.
If she’s there, it could get VERY ugly for her.
