This coming Sunday is not only another inter-conference matchup with the Dolphins facing another NFC North team in the Chicago Bears, it’s also the Fest game. Dolphins fans coming from various parts of Florida, east coast, west coast, Canada, I mean this is epic. I thought it was going to be ugly this past weekend, I will freely admit that, and that was before it was announced that Tannehill was out, and Brock Osweiler was in. As it turned out, that may have been a good thing, because although I don’t believe that Osweiler is our answer at QB for this year and beyond, he undeniably brought a different mentality to the team, and the team responded. How long this will last remains to be seen. I strongly feel that Osweiler should Sunday against the Lions. Over 400 yards passing, 31 points on the scoreboard, 3 TD passes (2 INT’s), and a big win when we really needed it.
It was a crazy game, and there was never a scenario in my mind where we put up 31 points on the Bears, who sported a top 2 defense in every category. They averaged 4.5 sacks per game through the first 5 games. Much credit must be given to Adam Gase for figuring out a way to neutralize that, along with the O-line, and the QB Osweiler. It’s also crazy that I feel our defense played pretty well, all the while allowing 28 points. The turnover battle was even, we threw 2 INT’s and lost a fumble, we snared 1 INT and forced and recovered 2 fumbles.
Gore was tearing it up yesterday, he made his biggest impact so far this season with 15 carries for 101 yards for a heady 6.7 YPC. Amendola settled into the “Landry” role, catching the short passes and trying to make the most of them. Forget “Landry” though, it’s Albert Wilson who electrified this game. He catches some of the same passes that “Landry” used to end with 8 or 9 yards and get brought down, but Wilson takes those for 50 + yards a pop. Wilson and Amendola make “Landry” obsolete, so his name shall no longer be spoken here.
What a great pickup TE Nick O-leary has been. Guy just comes in and plays football. Need me to block, you got it! Need me to catch it, you got it! He’s pushing Gesicki down the chart, but this kid deserves it. Kiko Alonso is playing great this year. Doesn’t mean he still doesn’t have his weaknesses, but the things he can do he has been doing very well. Kiko is probably going to top 130 tackles, he has 3 FF’s, 1 FR, and 2 INT’s. Playmaker! Reshad Jones seem to make a few big plays each game. Even if he’s not actually getting the INT, he’s creating them. Vincent Taylor hustling with a motor like a 440 six-pack! That boy tracked down Trubisky and took him down! Lots of things on defense that give you plenty of hope, and some that don’t. McTyer was exposed yesterday. It’s going to happen. Let’s hope good ole Bobby McCain gets better quick.
Matt Patricia’s Lions are 2-3 in the NFC North, and this has not been a great season so far for QB Matt Stafford. Usually, Stafford is one of the better QB’s statistically, but not this year. The Lions have their own version of thunder and lightning, Kerryon Johnson is the lightning, LeGarrette Blount is the thunder. They basically have a 50/50 split in carries so far, Johnson averaging an impressive 5.7 YPC and Blount 2.5 YAACOD (2.5 yards and a cloud of dust). The Lions have 3 WR’s that are dangerous, Marvin Jones, Kenny Golladay and Golden Tate. Jones is like what Parker should have been here, Golladay is closer to Stills, and Tate is like their Albert Wilson. Their former TE Eric Ebron is now killing it in Indy with Andrew Luck.
As I mentioned earlier, I’d prefer to see Brock Osweiler start. Here’s why. I say this with no disrespect to Ryan Tannehill, but I feel like we need to run our offense very carefully in order for him to succeed, and I didn’t see any of that with Osweiler. Not that he was a gunslinger throwing footballs all over Hard Rock, but it just seemed more free, less tense, and much less careful. It’s just what I saw. Osweiler looked calm, and in control. He wasn’t perfect, he won’t be, but there was a different element I haven’t seen with this offense, something intangible. Tannehill is probably not going to be much better, so it should be easy to just say Ryan isn’t ready, so we’re going with Brock. See what happens. If Brock flops, it’s just as easy to say the following week that Ryan is ready. If Brock plays well, no fan will mind if he remains the QB, we’ve seen what Ryan Tannehill can do, nothing wrong with going an alternative, especially if we’re winning.
I am really looking forward to seeing everyone this week, and I hope the game can match the fun we’re going to have all week.
Oh, BTW, we’re 4-2, tied for 1st place in the AFC East. Who woulda thunk?
Finsmob Unleashed 
Lmao at Hennehill
Son .. That game nearly killed my wife ..She was in tears and gasping for breathe at the end … I was screaming for them to cut Drake Monday morning ….until we won …lol
It was crazy. I was feeling Taylor for a block to pick up Drake but a Punky miss did just as well.
3 weeks from today-
RT- hey coach am I better yet? I feel better.
Coach: No now shut up. I’ll tell you when you’re better
A few sleepless nights last week had Gase decide Tannehill was hurt. I bet he slept like a baby last night.
Osweiler has a102 QB rating as a Dolphin. I love stats. Hehehehe
Gace really needs to put Hennehill on IR …it’s where he can do the least damage
Up by 4 Boolman!
What up Bat? You’re not supposed to be here now, are you expecting bad things for the Fest game? What gives?
There once was a QB named Tannehill
The fans, after 4 games, had their fill
So he went to the bench
His anus he did clench
As he watched the big O break the Bear’s will
dont give up your day job!
Randy .. I had no idea you were such a gifted poet …
Mike … Just here to celebrate a gut wrenching, nausea inducing victory ….and to bash Hennehill of course. As for the fest … I see a promising result hinging on our choice of QB’s.
Bat – Fair enough. Pretty sure it will be Osweiler this week, but there is a chance he gives Tannehill the start if he’s good to go. I do have a feeling though that Gase is planning on going with Osweiler no matter what this week, and see what happens. Gotta turn in, have a good night. Any chance you make an appearance at D&B?
bat,
I was inspired…..and good to see you again. You help restore the balance.
Good to see ya Bat, o can only imagine how Your wife freaked out winning on the last play of OT, lol
It was an exciting game for sure
Oh the back up QB euphoria…..
well, this is what happens when the starting qb doesn’t do anything to get you excited.
Try Viagra if you can’t get excited.
We are the only team with a winning recod that has a negative point differential.
The only time the backup QB euphoria happens is when you don’t have true starter. I promise you there is no backup euphoria with GB or LAC or LAR or NE or several other teams with good solid starters

balls busted because of his fantastical statistical method of determining Which RB was better as a starter.
___________________________________________________
Why do you think they are “fantastical stats” I wanted to know what our avg distance to go was on 2nd down, so i based my criteria on that, runs of 10 yards or more are not relevant.
both RBs are judged by the same criteria and both have multiple runs of 10 yards or more that have been eliminated.
not sure why you don’t understand the logic behind this?
1st down while it appears to be inconsequential is the most important down of the series, 3 yards and a cloud of dust is not pretty but if you avg more than 4 yards on first down you normally win the game.
chances of converting a third down have a lot to do with what happens on 1st down.
most teams run the ball a high percentage of the time on 1st down and the D knows this so it is a physical test to see who is stronger.
It’s the throwing out of any run over 10 on 1st down. Skews the results. You could use the Bell Curve, throw out the highest and lowest, and get a true average. We’ve beat this horse to dust. Now I just like teasing you about it.
Really what you are looking for is a weighted average for consistency – out of x-number of runs, he gains y-number of yards z-percentage of times. Whatever, you got the right answer – gloat a little!
Wyoming,
Good luck to your boys today. Brewers only 2 wins away, and have home field back!
go Brewers!
Gase has said without a doubt Tannehill is the starter, he hurt his shoulder against cincy and it regressed during the week last week, he is day to day and if he’s ready to go next week he will be the starter.
I get this but it, like other decision Gase has made us the wrong one. Ride the hot hand.
I think Osweiler definitely managed the game better than i have seen Tannehill.
All of this discussion doesn’t happen if we have a clear cut starter and that’s the point. I also promise you that no matter the discussion that Gase has with the media there is internal discussion about what’s going on. You can say that’s Gases guy, but do you think it’s a ride or die situation? Do you think Gase sacrifices his career for Tanny? We can’t all be blind.
I know fans react knee jerk but how is it knee jerk when every year the majority of us start out with hope that this is the year that the corner finally gets turned and each year we have to hope, well maybe it will be different next year. If we just have all the perfect pieces for him he can be better, he can be more consistent. When is it expected that people are acting responsibily when the finally give up and want something different for their team.
I don’t think Osweiler is the answer tbh. I’m extremely skeptical that he can lead the team. Still with a change there us hope for something different, sticking with the same ole same ole same ole isn’t inspiring hope it’s inspiring more if the same, a little excitement to tease us and then shit show.

M – We had 128 yards rushing against the Bengals, so not like we didn’t give Tannehill a balanced offense…
__________________________
we did give him a balanced offense for 3.5 quarters and were up 17-zip, but then all of a sudden for some reason which i don’t understand we abandoned the run and started slinging it, it started with 3rd and 1 at midfield in the 3rd, instead of a power play with Gore or a QB sneak to pick up the 1st we threw a hail mary to stills, and from that point on we regressed to a gunslinging offense.
THE BAT IS BACK–Yippie!!!
AGRRE TOTALLY–Stick with Osweiler until he gives us a good reason to yank him in favor of HENNEHILL!!! –OFF 2 work!

PS–We play the Lions this Sunday. MY PREDICTION lies in a very famous song by the Tokens.–Anybody know the title of that famous song??

De de de…
I see the DBB is still at it rolling around in shit pretending like Brock is a good QB. See you guys Sunday, but will probably stay away from here a little bit longer. I mean DB’s that had quit this site when the team had a 120+ PR couldn’t stop themselves from jumping on here to gloring in how “horrible” our starters are. SMH Have fun with it.
DBB?
Fest question
We will be car-less for the Fest. I saw that Son mentioned a shuttle. I would be interested in getting in on the shuttle if possible. It would be for 2 people. (Plus one large mug)
Like Brody said, we’re gonna need a bigger boat
Toba and Mrs Toba usually set that up. You’ll be able to get on.
7 of my 9 are going in one vehicle with my tent we’ll be putting 2 on the shuttle.
I’ll have my car there for liquor store runs otherwise.
Thanks Son…especially about the liquor store runs…LOL
👍

It’s the throwing out of any run over 10 on 1st down. Skews the results
___________________________________
i disagree, your missing the definition of my research, what is our avg yards to pick up the 1st on 2nd down? running the ball 10 yards plus doesn’t give us that stat, as once we achieve 10 yards or more it is 1st down again. it’s irrelevant to the definition.
The criteria applies to both RBs, not to mention both RBs have multiple 10 yards plus runs which makes it moot and a wash.
Lol…okay, you win.
Yo Rock! What is the DBB? Will you make it to Doggy Tunes night at the beach? I’d think you’d enjoy it
DBB…….Dumb Ball Busters?????
I know there are a few around here!
Phelon – what’s your status for the Fest? In or out?
Out…On my way to the airport in 30 minutes. I’ll catch up when I get back.
That’s disappointing
Bummer
I’d say that’s working out
Note to self: don’t forget the guitar
Son, I believe both of us wanted to draft O’Leary when he came out. He is a great pick up. Tim mentioned us using max protect a bunch. A huge part of that success was O’Leary.
He sure was. And your boy Miller almost put a dagger in us. He’s pretty good, good call on him.
I wanted to draft him too
He was a common late draftee on the mock drafts everyone does here
He was great at FSU
I never understood why he ended up being a day 3 pick
Sonny, you been practicing the guitar?
No I bring it for Doggy
I wish I could play
Don’t worry guys
I’m bringing a kazoo
You don’t even have to ask
Im guessing DBB is Douche Bag Brigade lol. Just a shot int he dark though.
🐖💨🎶
Why did the Bills cut Nick O’Leary? He looks like a well rounded TE both blocking and receiving.
It was a present to us. 🙂
It sure looks like that. He really looks the part of a solid TE.
Sonny – I’m bringing a big speaker for karaoke, we’ll have Doggy with his GEE-tar (Your GEE-tar) and the karaoke too. Should be fun!
Cool
——————–
Could possibly be the first player off the board in the ’19 Draft.
So we re-signed Sam Young because Ja’Wuan James is dealing with a pectoral issue. Young would be the RT and Sterup the swing tackle.
That’s not very inspiring…
Young has played well at RT. But he’s absolutely lost at LT.
If Young plays like he did down the stretch @ RT last year, we should be good.
Right and he played well when James went out in the NE game. He just can’t play the left side. Who knows how Sterup would fare if he had to play LT. Let’s hope Tunsil stays healthy all year. He’s starting to play up to his draft status. 🙂
That’s fine, as long as he doesn’t go all turnstiling like Marc Colombo used to do
Super ColonBlow! LOL
LOL – yup!
Who was the other tackle we brought in that was just as bad?
That could backfire on Nick Bosa but i can see the point. He would be rushed back to get back in November, so its likely if he came back in a safe to the player manner, he is getting back, maybe for playoffs and even that might be too early. I doesnt sound like he gave up on the team, it sounds like he is just looking at the big picture of what could be detrimental to try to come back this year anyways and he is playing it safe and allowing himself to be fully re-habed for the combine.
It could backfire with spin of “not a team player” but the interview process should cure concerns over that unless he just flunks the interviews.

And look who’s listed just under Gurley… GORE.
Gurley is a beast.

——————————————
Come on Tim you know the answer to this lol. System fit means a lot as to how a player is evaluated.
What kind of system does BUF run that they can’t use a well rounded TE? O’Leary has looked good since he got here.
I didn’t realize he was available. Why is he not on a team?
He asked to be released by the Titans, and they granted it to them. Something about Rishard saying he wasn’t getting targeted enough.
*and they granted it to him.
Same shit he pulled in Miami.
Granted, I miss a lot of conversations on this board, but who is claiming Tannehill is an elite QB and there’s no need to try to upgrade the position? I don’t see it in the national media either.
He’s an average starter. Maybe good enough to win a SB if you surrounded him with an elite team and coaching staff. The same goes for most starting QBs in the NFL today. Upgrading to a QB that can win despite the talent around him is a very difficult proposition. Doesn’t mean you don’t constantly try to do that via the draft or a rare trade opportunity.
Just seems like an argument about nothing.
I tend to agree but I don’t think you need an elite team and coaching staff. Just not a team with a lot of holes. Very few QBs are good enough to mask a flawed team.
I was cruelly thinking about Rishard this morning and thinking he might be a good compliment to our smallish receivers now that Parker is a non factor
We can probably afford to wait until the trade deadline
And if we move Parker then take a shot at Matthews is the jests don’t sign him
LOL @ cruelly
I think there is some bad blood between Matthews and Miami. He did a lot of complaining about playing time when he was here and we showed no interest in re-signing him in 2016 when Gase got here.
*actually
I know, I find autocorrects funny.
Giants Owner John Mara:
“”I wish he (OBJ) would create the headlines by his play on the field as opposed to what he says and what he does off the field, I think he needs to do a little more playing and a little less talking.”
Amen! to the Gmen
D&B’s sat nite 6-10 — check.

What time does the Dog go on stage at the Neptune or is MIke E opening for him?
It’s a great big concert, many different performers . . . Doggy is the headliner though
You are are 2nd billed on vocals for sure….. but nothing beats Annette on tamborine. Was truthfully just wondering what time it gets started.
I don’t know Stanger, if I knew I would tell ya
You guys should go to the band shell to do your gig, the acoutics would be great, it’s at the south end of Hollywood beach near Johnson st
I’ve thought of that, I don’t think we can just commandeer it though
Not only that, I don’t think we really want the whole world watching, it’s just for fun.
Nobody ever there, yes you can just go up there and play, i have done some amazing gigs there with my air guitar…the imaginary crowd went wild!
LOL! 🎸🎼🎵🎶
ORob — when the Dog is going on at the Neptune sometimes there are like 15 or so folks listening. If looked like a planned gig a real crowd might gather. You should do the full weekend some year…. real good time.
🐖💨
I think the fact that Minkah is even on this list as a rook is testimony of how GREAT he is already… and he’s been moving around, not settling in on one position.
I just heard Josh Allen needs Tommy John surgery
They spent 2 first rounders on him – oops

Our for 2018 and maybe 2019
That’s a disaster for the Bills
Actually that’s fake ^^^

HOLY SVUCKS!!! 👀👀
D,
I saw you post about pass run ratios, but I think expecting a 1:1 ratio in a league where no team through 6 weeks has a 1:1 ratio is antiquated. Maybe that’s not what you expect, but I think some folks do think 1:1 is reasonable, I just don’t think it is. The rules changed and favor passing so even 1.43:1 doesn’t seem very pass heavy to me.
I did one google page of research in hopes of contributing more then an idea for once. 🙂
Our current pass mix is 56.7% 11 teams have a more run oriented ratio then ours, 20 teams are more pass heavy then we are. The most run happy offense in the league (seattle) is still above 50% at 50.5%
For ratios purposes, our current ratio is 1.31 to 1 .
Pass heaviest offense is Indy with 2.41 to 1 !!!!!
(that’s too pass heavy for even passing game fans like me!!!!)
Good stuff Jahn! Yeah, Luck is chucking up about 50 passes a game, that’s excessive
Just trying to get that shoulder back into shape.
Unfortunately some of the stats in regards to run vs pass are disproportionate due to the fact that when teams get down late in games they tend to pass more.
a good way to break it down would be by quarter.
That said i wonder what the list of those 11 teams are that run more than us, are they good teams or bad teams?
Well only 3 teams have better records than us. 😉
A lot of it has to do with game situations. It’s not as easy to say just do this ratio and you win. If you run 16 times in the 1st half for 34 yards and you’re down starting the 2nd half 17-3 you’re probably going to pass a lot more in the 2nd half. It’s one thing to stick with the running game to keep the defense honest, it’s another to keep going with it with little production and putting yourself in 3rd and long and punting.
Orob, here’s the 11 run happier offenses then us:
Panthers
Pats
Redskins
Chargers
Bears
Titans
Bills
Rams
Jets
Cowboys
Seahawks
Kind of a mixed bag. I didn’t think the Rams would be that low though, them and the pats are minor surprises to me.
That’s run/pass ratio though. The Rams have the most rushes at 183. They probably have run the most plays too or close to it. We are right in the middle as far as rushing attempts go. There’s so many ways to look at stats.
http://www.espn.com/nfl/statistics/team/_/stat/rushing/sort/rushingAttempts
Not sure what distinction you’re drawing here? My post was simply to address the pass to run ratio.
Not sure about attempts and what it all means tbh…lol…
Not questioning what you’re saying. You said you were surprised at how low the Rams were but they have run the ball more than any other team. They just throw it a lot too. Their offense stays on the field a lot. Like Gase always says, the more plays you run the more your offense stays on the field and that usually equates to scoring a lot of points. The Rams are 2nd in scoring behind KC.
I gotcha…makes sense.
Thanks for the link btw Tim, here’s mine if anyone wants to dig into it:
https://www.footballdb.com/stats/play-selection.html?sort=passpct
I think these breakdowns have a lot to do with playing with leads vs. trailing in games. The Colts throw so much because they’re always trailing. That’s what I meant by there are so many ways to look at stats.
I agree with tim
That’s the thing about these ratios
It goes out the window when a team is trailing
When you need a little positive knee jerk in your life
Really goofy stuff. Brock played well. But let’s not get goofy shall we. LOL
Jahndoh,
The stats you are throwing out don’t account for W/L, quarter-by-quarter, margin of W/L… just teams who run more (or less) than us.
FACT: we win more when we run more… even when it’s a one-score game (10 out of 12 times when we rush 30 or more times in a game).
The 10 out 12 times reflects the times we won by rushing 30 or more times in a one-score game. The other 2 times were BLOWOUTS, by us.
Piggy – It can go out the window when a team is trailing, and conversely, a team that’s up big will run more at the end of the game to take time off the clock. 4 of our 6 games were decided by one score
Pretty sure I heard them say on the broadcast this Sunday against the Bears that Gase is 16-5 in games decided by one score, so I guess that went to 17-5 after the win.
Jahn thats basically what i was saying, i dont think our run to pass ratio is all out of whack and i dont think it tells us W’s vs L’s because we have had a better run to pass ratio than our average and lost, and we have had a heavier pass to run and won. I was saying to me, its more about the 3 and outs, and less about the run pass ratio which is consistently in the 1.4-1.7 range, pass to run. In the games we have won, we have had the ball more snaps, which means we moved the ball and therefore had more possessions. Thats why i said Osweilers game was such a good one because we controlled the ball a lot better. 73 snaps on offense (not counting the re-dos because of penalties) which was our best in that regard all year.
Running is important, i really dont think we disagree on anything like that, none of us here, BUT i think the important stat if you want to talk about runs isnt the number of runs but the effectiveness on 1st down to set us up for 2nd and short or 3rd and short. In that regard ORob is both right about the running on 1st and the RB thats been the most effective doing it.
Change of plans – I’ll be there after all.
Sure cock tease, go ahead and give them false hope again!
Excellent! Look forward to meeting you
Phelon — Know you said had blue passes….those work in orange too. You can set up right with the tailgate crew. We are thinking E-23.
That’s awesome Phelon. Phun times ahead!
He sure phlip-phlops a lot though, huh?
Guess he got to the airport and learned he was on the no Phly list. 🙂
Phuck you, phellas!
That’s pretty phunny
Got to the airport, sitting in Kansas City, International trip is postponed until December. I jumped on line grabbed a couple of tickets and a flight.
Actually, my wife jumped on line and got me tickets and a flight. She’s good that way.
She’s awesome too! Phine lass 😎
Stanger – don’t know where my parking pass will be for this, so I’ll get to where y’all are.
Last time you said you had blue (which comes with your club seasons)…..that works for orange as well. Just pointing out you can park right with the whole crew at the Fest tailigate. We got 4 passes already plus OD (even if he doesn’t always end up in the row).
Ok Phelon do you know where you are staying and when you’ll get in?
Well now the Fest can be a Phest!
Our record being very good when we run 30 times or more is because in those games we didn’t trail or trail by a lot and we could maintain a balanced offense. Also it has to do with how effective the running game is. It’s not simply about run it more and you win. As we all know our offense has gotten off to slow starts and specifically last year we trailed a lot. We were basically shutout 3 times last year, 20-6 NYJ scoring on the last play of the game, 20-0 NO and 40-0 BAL. You’re not going to run a lot in games like that. You have to try to get back in the game at some point and passing gives you the best chance for chunk yardage. By the way Ajayi was the starting RB in all three of those games. So it wasn’t a Drake 1st down issue. LOL
Stanger – I didn’t renew my seats so I don’t have a pass yet. Tickets did not come with one. May have to grab a general parking pass at the gate.
Son – Staying with my brother in Jupiter. Get in on Friday. He’ll probably be working Friday/Saturday, so I should be able to grab his truck and come down for some of the pre-pre-game.
Get to where we are in Hollywood Beach and get on the shuttle
There will not be any Pork available
If you are bringing your own – you can’t sit with us
Phelon — thought you had your seasons still in play. If not, why not sit with crew? But then don’t know what tickets you bought. What did you go for?
Here’s an example of exception to the rule. Check out this box score that has been mentioned here a bunch of times. Everything about the stats in this game points to we should have won the game. But nope. It’s still about the scoreboard.
http://www.espn.com/nfl/matchup?gameId=290921015
Before I even look, it has to be MIA vs IND, we had a 46 minute TOP, and lost
Look at the rushing stats and the amount of plays we ran. Less than a quarter of possession time for Peyton and the Colts. Crazy!
I’ll never forget that game. I was at a bar in Freehold with my nephew watching the game on a big screen, tons of people, we were so happy with the way they played, thought for sure we were gonna win, but it seemed like every time he (Manning) got the ball, they scored. So frustrating and deflating at the end
Tim – It was probably similar to the way Marino made a lot of teams lose though, so there’s that. lol
Yeah true, except when the Raymond Berry lead Pats ran what seemed like 50 times on us every time and would keep him off the field and we’d lose.
just a caution
We were 4-2 last year as well.
I’ll still take that start over 2-4 and and uphill battle. 🙂
Random snarkism:
Anybody miss Jordan Phillips last Sunday?
Honestly, no. Winning does that. 🙂
Ja Wuan defeated Mack 11 times last Sunday.
He was also seen blocking 22 yards downfiield.
Stanger – Got tickets for row 2 section 143
Cool enough seats. Gonna be hard to see what is happening on the other side, but man will you be right in it if they score there. We’ll all be much higher up on the 40 across the way, but where we are planning to tailgate will actually be closer to your seats.
Son – Gimme the details on the shuttle. The when and where…that may be an option.
Ok
Leaves from Hollywood Beach, not sure what time, maybe 9:30-10AM. Sumpin like that. We’re gonna need a big bus this time
Oz’s 3 TD passes traveled in the air a total of 7 yds.
Even Though they are recorded as well over a hundred.
4 yds in the air to O’Leary, 4 in the air to Wilson on the first one,
and -1 in the air to Wilson of the second one.
They were really good throws though. lol
I thought the second one was 9 yards
I thought so too actually, but that is what the article said.
Can’t find it right now.
Do I need to reserve seats on the bus?
Toba will get a count of who needs transportation to the game. Don’t stress man, it will get taken care of
How many do you need? We’ll let Toba know

OK, We’ll let Toba know you need 2
Kenyan Drake threw the lead block on Wilson’s second score
… 73 yds past the line of scrimmage.
That’s how fast he is.
AND how much of a badass team player he is.
Drake played a lot of STs at Alabama and started his career in Miami doing the same thing. He’s not just a RB, he’s a football player.
Kenny Stills engaged his man and held a block
without drawing a flag
for almost 50 yards
while running a 4.5 40.

Oz’s 3 TD passes traveled in the air a total of 7 yds.
Even Though they are recorded as well over a hundred.
4 yds in the air to O’Leary, 4 in the air to Wilson on the first one,
and -1 in the air to Wilson of the second one.
—————–
But according to the ‘Tanne-holics’, it didn’t matter that his shovel-passes that went for TDs equated to ZERO air-yards.
I never lessened either of the QB’s TD’s. A TD is a TD. What’s the point of nitpicking TD throws? I’m happy with all of them! Give us more!
^^^
Why this kind of comment? What’s with the name labeling? Who are the Tanne-holics’, M13, and where do you stand about him?
A great play for the team is a great play for the team. But not once did Brock throw a pass down the field like Tannehill has to Stills or Parker for big gains or TDs but nobody brought that up. We all saw how the game went down. The announcers pointed out all game that Osweiler doesn’t push the ball down the field. But he played smart and within himself. Awesome! He didn’t lose the game for us and helped us win the game.
Do you look for divide within the fan ranks with comments like this? Referring to other fans as Tanne-holics’ is an insult as if a supporter of Tannehill can’t be objective. Just like people who get sensitive about being labeled haters.
I call it the Wilson effect. The guy has brought an element to this offense we haven’t had, Grant too, but now even that has to seep into this fucked up QB conversation. Just enjoy it as a fan. Why this constant divide when I guarantee you the team doesn’t look at this way at all.
Sorry man, not sure what you’re trying to say sometimes. It seems like pitting some against others and I think that sucks.
My sentiments exactly
This last game was why I have always said James can be a top 5 RT. He has the tools. He needs to start playing like this every week. We could have 2 really good tackles for years if they play up to their potential. The inconsistency needs to stop.
I agree we potentially have bookend tackles but they need to stay healthy
There are times when he is exceptional
Unfortunately James is always banged up. He can play well but it doesn’t last long. I’m not sure he’ll be back in 2019. Not because he can’t play well, but I think the team worries about his reliability ad cost. They gave him the 5th year extension and they’re already seeing signs of durability issues. It’s too bad, because he’s a good guy and has talent.
one thing i can say about Osweiler, he’s a lot better than Matt Moore
For one game at least, and hopefully more
Is it ok to call him Cantmovetheballhill?
Curious
And for those who say the OL was to blame for our lack of running production…Gore doesn’t seem to have a problem with it.
So 2.8, 2.0 and 3.7 against the NYJ, OAK and NE didn’t matter?
I love the Gore pickup and he’s been awesome at times. But he’s also struggled with team struggles as well. Most of your posts seem to be anti-Drake. Did Drake do something personally bad to you? LOL
Why the constant hate and bickering about certain players that then leads to us bloggers getting into squabbles?
We’re 4-2, let’s hope the team keeps building chemistry and improving and we make a run. I’m not sure why we have to bash one player to prop another.
I for one said before the season started we might have to scratch and claw our way to some wins early on while this team starts to comes together. It’s actually happening. We’re 4-2 and it hasn’t been great or ideal. It could be a lot worse.
Go Phins!!!! 🙂
Yes Tim Drake did something very bad to me, we went 2-7 over a 9 game stretch because he wasn’t effective BTWN the tackles, that’s as bad as it gets!
Yeah that was it. Nothing else. Wow!
A FUCKING MEN
Our OL played far better this last game than they did all year. Let’s hope that continues!
Tannehill is still on the fence as far as i’m concerned, and yes there are some that completely support him around here regardless of what he does on the field, I don’t see anything wrong with labeling them Tanneholics. what is that a bad word???
Like you with Ajayi. Okay I get it. But Naples was surely called out for pointing out some stats. Fair is fair I guess. The labeling is immature no matter how you slice it.
Go Phins!!!
Not sure what you’re talking about with Naples, he’s a good dude, never had a problem with him.
as far as Ajayi goes 14-9 with 2-7 without, do the math
You’re missing the convo. M13 called people Tanne-holics’ based on Naples posting Osweiler throwing mostly short passes and then calling out Tanne-holics’ for not having that same issue on a shovel pass from Tannehill to Wilson in the OAK game which nobody ever mentioned. That was his own call. I don’t remember anyone propping up Tannehill because of that play. It was a team play, not a Tannehill awesomeness play. LOL

ORob — when the Dog is going on at the Neptune sometimes there are like 15 or so folks listening. If looked like a planned gig a real crowd might gather. You should do the full weekend some year…. real good time.

Sorry man, that was a brutal HR
First time I’ve questioned the Manager!
He’s usually lights out so I give him a pass!
Oh well as long as I don’t get to see the Sox take the series live I’ll be OK!
13 innings is brutal too!
Time to come out SWINGING today!

Im sorry Twice for 1 makes no sense to me 🤪
It’s amazing to me, as fans we can’t enjoy being 4-2 after a win over the Bears where we all thought whether with Ryan or Brock at QB we were in trouble off of that horrible debacle in Cincy in the 4th quarter. We win one of the most exciting games in a long time with Brock as our backup playing well and it’s let shit on Ryan who was the QB for 3 of our 4 wins. WTF!!! LOL
It’s amazing to me how some of you think about what you’ve seen with this team. The max protect and running game (game plan) going right at the Bears DEF was awesome!!! But no… as if it was all about Osweiler… and Wilson not being amazing with his speed and ability to turn short passes into spectacular plays and getting us back into the game. The same thing happened against OAK. The Wilson Effect!!! Now we know why we signed him to what we did. The team had a vision for his skill set and we’ve now seen why. Without him, we’re most likely 2-4.
Wilson is our 6 game MVP. So go ahead with the QB controversy. It’s been about big plays from playmakers – offense, defense and STs. I personally like it that way. You don’t have to rely on a savior QB or just a handful of players to win a game like we have in the past. We’re getting it across the board. Guys are buying in and stepping up. Team game. Love it!
Tanny appears to have hit a wall, he’s one of the highest paid players and our starting QB., but doesn’t improve anymore.
A lot is expected for Tanny and his unbelievable hundred million dollar plus contract.
Maybe one day he will earn some of it. He’s looked good here or there, but for that kind of money he should be winning a lot more games and leading us to Super Bowls .
He didnt even play last year, and missed a lot of the year before either.
If he can’t stay on the field, and can’t lead this team, we need to find someone who can
He doesn’t have an unbelievable hundred million dollar plus contract. LOL

By the way Drew Brees (18th season) and Aaron Rodgers (14th season) have won one Super Bowl each and have never played in another.
“Maybe one day he will earn some of it. He’s looked good here or there, but for that kind of money he should be winning a lot more games and leading us to Super Bowls .”
David, your expectations are really high. As good as those two are and they are two of the best we’ve ever seen. One!
