Monday Night Football! Dolphins go prime time again! Prime Time has been nothing less than brutal for our “Not Ready for Prime Time Players”.
vs Saints in London – LOSS 20-0
vs Ravens TNF – LOSS 40-0
vs Panthers MNF – LOSS 45-21
So basically, 3 games in prime time, and we were outscored 105-21. That’s unbelievably hideous. I don’t know what to expect from our Dolphins after we drubbed the Broncos senseless on Sunday 35-9. Will that be the team that shows up on Monday night, or is it the NRFPTP troop? I wish I could tell you, but I just haven’t a clue as to what’s going to happen. If I’m being honest, I’m not really expecting us to be in this game, I just can’t imagine we’re going to put it all together against an NFL team like the Patriots who is just methodically dismantling every team they play. Even on a day where QB Tom Brady has a poor game, they win easily. They are a tough beat at 10-2, they really are. On the other hand, we usually give them one tough game per year, so maybe this is it.
Well, Gronk did us a favor last week when he got all frustrated that the Patriots didn’t get a call for once on what he thought was defensive holding at the least, or even pass interference on Bills DB Tre’Davious White, so Gronk took matters upon himself to dish out judgement, and after doing a whiny little dance about not getting the call, he promptly turned around, and dove on top of White who was already face down on the sidelines, and delivered a vicious forearm shiver to his helmet. Gronk should probably be missing a few games for that, but he happens to play for the Patriots, so . . .
I’d love to see Drake have another strong game, and I would really love to see Devante Parker have a freaking big game for once! If Parker does nothing, I’d sit his ass and start Leonte Carroo III at least for one game, while the embarrassed Parker assumes the bench role Carroo III currently owns. Who knows, maybe the kid will finally show us why we traded up for him. I’d also love to see the defense play like they did last week, and make some big plays and turn the Pats over a few times.
Anyway, enjoy the game, and hope for the best!

COMING INTO LAST OFF-SEASON many on this site said that O-Line was one of (if not our biggest) concerns. Well here we are and our top O-Line pick, Asiata, is, once again, inactive (except in the food line where he’s an All-Pro). T-BOMB/GRIER really fucked-up on this one, didn’t they??? But that’s hardly news around these parts. Worst of all, T-BOMB/GRIER will get to prove how stupid they are, again, because Ross hasn’t even hinted at replacing these proven losers. IN FACT, I’d say it’s 50/50 whether they get a raise & a contract extension during the off season!!!–SO, kiddies, all this talk about who we SHOULD PICK is irrelevant because “The DOOFUS BRIGADE” seems hell-bent to bring back MORE SAD SACKS from the upcoming draft to replace the SAD SACKS who could not get it done this year.
———————————–
Having said that, there’s one final bit of GOOD NEWS tonight. “The Classic” jerseys and colors are back tonight. And I’ll guarantee you lady luck will shine on Miami and, at a minimum, keep the game within the 11-point spread. I call it “THROWBACK THROW-UP,” and it will be “the other guys” who’ll be hitting the barf bag bigtime—but JUST FOR TONITE!
So sit back, relax, and watch our boys do the seemingly impossible by keeping this game CLOSE!!
hey anybody up north know anything about Groton CT?
I’m sure Ken, Stanger and Son do.
Tim Pool reply on last page
I saw it. If he wins congrats, if not sorry. LOL
I was a final 3 once, once! 😉
Submarine capital of the world
Is it a fun place and can a person get to a Dolphins game easily from there? And what about other “Things to do”? Is it near to you, Ken?
Naples what do you need to know about Groton. Outside of Electric Boat, the navy base and a major pharmaceutical company it is kind of a dumpy town.
Dolphins cornerback Bobby McCain will start in place of rookie Cordrea Tankersley when Miami hosts New England on Monday Night Football. That likely means veteran cornerback Alterraun Verner will play boundary in the nickel package and McCain will shift to the slot, as usual, and as they Dolphins did last week against Denver.

This is my biggest concern tonight (besides our inept offense). The moving around, in, out, up, down, etc. You know Brady will catch us in a certain personnel grouping and hurry up the hell out of us.
I see breakdowns happening because of this shifting of positions from down to down.
Probably but no Gronk to worry about.
Ken — My third son just got a job offer with Electric Boat.
was just wondering if a Florida kid from a small town full of Republican retirees can make it in Groton.
CT is a blue state but Groton with all the military there (sub base, sub school, Electric Boat and across the river in New London is the Coast Guard Academy) it gets pretty red in that area so he will feel right at home.
I was in final 4 week 17 last year and was only one eliminated.. 3 ithers were happy with their raise
Yep these are sweet jerseys
cool fall like game (in December) at the Hard Rock tonight
So im just gonna throw it out there … John Fox expected to be fired as Bears coach… would we like him as a DC ??? Not sure on scheme fit but he cut his teeth on the Def side …
Fox is going out to pasture
He’s done man
I think Burke will be back. He’s had to deal with a lot personnel changes and young players. We’re just not there yet and this season has been fucked all year.
Who’s wearing the wring Marshon? Who put it there? pfffft, the other hand…
ROFLMAO
So Chase Allen is starting tonight. I would like to see Anthony play some more.
Allen plays MLB, Anthony has been replacing Timmons on passing downs of late.
I really love those throwback unis. They are so much better than our pastel colored fruitcake unis. lol
Naples Groton is kind of a boring town. Not much of a night life or social scene. Across the river is New London which is a bigger city but again not that much to do there. It is about 45 minutes away from Providence RI which has a lot going on. There are also the 2 tribal gaming casinos Foxwoods and Mohegan Sun which has a lot going on. They are the social scene for that end of the state. CT property values but relatively speaking you will get more for your money in and around Groton than you would in New Haven or Fairfield counties
^high property values ^
In terms of being near me it is about 45 minutes away but it is an easy ride just down 95 south. I am up that way a lot because I cover the New London judicial district. In terms of getting to a Dolphins game you are about an hour away from Foxboro. I have seen the Phins play there a few times.
Hey Ross, do us all a big favor and bring back the uniforms pre 99′. ….permanently!!!!
Here we go again, another prime time game.😐
Hey guess what Fuckers.. We are going to win this game and Brady will get punished.. DILLY DILLY 🖕 GO PHINS !!!
Dilly dilly
Patriots to the Pit of Misery
Son : is he finished as a HC or in general ?
Tim: i am sure if Burke has his way he will be here .. are we okay with our schemes on D ? On paper we have a GRRRRReat def .. do we need a new motivator? Or do we believe in Burke ?? If not could Fox be an upgrade ?
I really don’t have an answer only an opinion. I’d rather let Burke grow into the position than go with a 62 year old Fox who’s had health issues and is likely on his way out of the NFL.
An opinion was all i was looking for , and yours is always valued .. i hope you right on Burke. Some have questioned his useage , Especially press vs cover
This
I’m gonna try somthin new!
need to do better than 3.
Naples feel free to email me at kenmastroni@sbcglobal.net for any info you or your son needs about CT
Game time let’s go bitches!
Ken , did you get peanuts thrown at ya ?? I did. Bastards
Good start Parker.. NOT
Parker = bust
Freaking Parker! CarrOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!
Ken
thnx that is a great profile … he flew into Providence and drove a rental car over for his interview.
Drake is fun to watch
Drake = playmakers
Son your opinion is valued as well thanx
Fullback set again kewl , but bummer on result
Woohoo he caught one
Disappointing ending to the drive
Was fiod while it lasted. Go BIG on D !!!
Or good
I like fiod better
Phist pump!
Lol
Got to get the TD on those drives, but that’s been our story all year long. Heck, most times we turn it over or punt, so I guess I should be happy.
SUH
ok so we lead. Now a stop on D and let’s get a 10-0 lead.
Punk bitch move by Brady
Right ??!!
That’s how you ball Defense
Nice job Howard.
The X-Man cometh!!!!!
huh
I have to keep badmouthing Howard. He sucks.
Defense’s best 3 straight plays of the year
XAVIEN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!111
Keep it up Howard! 🙂
So now we can stop calling Howard a disappointment right
No it seems to work. I think he stinks
That’s been because of one really bad game and the farce that is PFF. 😉
Fiod job defense!
😳
Lol
The old Polite play
🍺
Shades of Lou Polite
A full back run?….
X had that pattern read perfectly.
Holy SHit who’s he ??
watch for that last play again later
Drake hurt the big guy
Nice block Punchy!!
Phist pump!
I feel like I am watching soft core porn. I get excited but no big finish
Not gonna win by kicking FGs all night.. twice the the may , but Fins wont
OH and I’d about completely done with Pouncy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
11:26 for six points. The pats can score that on us in 21 secs.
but they won’t.
We need to get TD’s, can’t keep settling for 3. It will come back to bite us.
Let’s go D
All-terrain
ATV drove on that Ball.
Oh he’s crying already
I love seeing Brady looking around like someone stole his dildo or something
Meanwhile its just stuck up his ass 💩💩
LOL I was just thinking to myself. I am way too smug right now.
Yep and remember we have Cutler. Its all the same now 😎
Noticed that the DBs have been coached on those low risk low throws by Brady. Howard picked one off and Verner almost had another. That’s how he keeps his INTs down. Now go score a fucking TD offense. LOL
The patsies* have 2 yards of offense so far. 2.
Wow. And a penalty against them too
What what what wow
The patriots leading receiver is Xavier Howard right now
Wow. On 1st look thought that was another drop,, good call
Did you see Bellicheat texting Goodell like Rodgerrrrr.
Pouncey with another drive killer
Can Pouncey even block?
I’ve seen with at least 3 wif’s so far!!!!
OH! That could have been sooo sweet
Fucking Thomas if he holds on he had the first down
No contact fumble alert
Brady has a ZERO passer rating right now. (stop being smug asshole, it will come back to you!)
Was that Brady jerking it on the sideline?
Nice Chase by Allen
OH THE POWER OF THE RETRO JERSEYS! Now those are REAL Dolphin colors!!–And how about the bigger, bolder, Dolphin at midfield?? –I can sure take 3 more quarters of THIS!!!
Nice fiish guys.
Or finish lol
Not to bad of a first quarter! We will still need touchdowns (instead of FGs) to win this game.
DAMNIT! Brady has climbed up to a 16.7 rating
Blame Goodell
Time of Pos. 5:30 13:19
wow
Brady has only completed safety valve passes … 2 to Lewis and 2 to Dickhead..
Oops
That was a pretty nice screen!
Wait, we executed a screen?
Not really.
It gained 14! that’s better than our normal tackled for a loss!!!!!!!!!!
oh well we can’t get a FG every drive.
LET’S GO DEFENSE!!!!!
DEFENSE
DEFENSE
DEFENSE
aaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhrrrrraaaaaaahhhhhh
The patriots are getting flagged tonight…
Wow that was very nice bastards
That was a Hall of Fame pass there.
Terrible job by Howard not looking back for the ball
That was def not PI
More like hands to the face by cooks
I know right?
Wow that was wrong !!!
If he looks back for the ball they don’t call that
But supposedly that alone does not constitute PI.
The no call push off on the face mask always go hand in hand with the no contact fumble
We need to score here. 6 this time, plus the extra point
We knew that was gonna happen. We have the ball the whole 1st qtr, only 2 get 2 FG’s, then they get one good possession, and BOOM, 7-6. Ugh!
it took more than 21 seconds though so there is that
They only had to drive half the field and got rescued by a terrible flag and a Brady magical lob. That is not sustainable.
I
hope.
