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?

My concern/worry , after Cincy was that Tunsil was gonna be missing longer than he was and that the Oline was now done , and they would play rest of season like they did the 4th .. very happy with how they Showed Me against Mack and the Bears D .. fingers crossed for no more injuries to that unit , and that they continue to gel.. i dont care who is QB, just Win Baby !!
Toba – Only 3, younger son wisely chose to stay back and go to school, so it’s just 3. Thanks Dougie Fresh!
Brian and his son are coming too, so yes, 2 more

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
https://www.spotrac.com/nfl/miami-dolphins/ryan-tannehill-9818/
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!
Dan Marino, the best passer I’ve ever seen. 0-1 in Super Bowls. 17 year career. With the great Don Shula. Please explain what was missing?
My explanation is balanced team.
QB will work itself out. Neither will get any better than they are, but maybe one of them is good enough. Defense has been a pleasant surprise….
That’s more true for Tannehill than it is for Osweiler, only because he hasn’t played as much. There’s a slight chance Osweiler can be a better QB than he is right now, but how much better, I have no idea. I think Tannehill pretty much is what he is, which isn’t bad, just not elite. I would prefer we try for elite.
Def has been killing it , especially in red zone/goal line situations, still some brain farts/ misses, but those are gonna happen periodically
We’re leaving pretty early tomorrow too, have to be at the airport at 6:30AM.
Prolly still be there before us 😮
Twice, are you staying near us? When do you get in?
Safe travels to all of you getting in tomorrow. Have fun, I’ll see you early Friday afternoon.
We will watch for ya 👍👍
Thanks man
Drive safe yer self though
Mike E – I don’t disagree that Osweiler has the potential to improve.
Mike, you want an elite QB? No way!!! How dare you. LOL
Do you want one who never wins a Super Bowl by himself, or at least one over his long career, even though it wasn’t all about him? 😉
Phish, like Son has said he likes our defense and so do I because they are tough and fast. But by no means have they arrived as anything special yet. We still give up way too many big plays. We can stop them all day for the most part and still give up 21 like we weren’t even playing. Lots of work to be done but the youth and potential is there for the next few years to take it to another level. 🙂
We need to stay healthy too
Agreed. The potential for dominant is on the horizon though. Need some good fortune and all of them to ball together.
Osweiler is what he is.
RT17 is what he is.
They will be drafting another QB or bringing another one in besides Falk.
Deal with it. Cheer on whoever is playing and enjoy the Ws.
GO FINS
not sure if anyone posted this, but nice positive article by Greg Cote..
https://www.miamiherald.com/sports/spt-columns-blogs/greg-cote/article220039095.html
Looking more and more like Tannehill’s days in Miami are coming to an end. Finally.
Wilson’s 75-yard touchdown against Chicago features 71 yards after the catch, the second-most yards after catch in the NFL this season, according to NextGen Stats. The best? Wilson’s 74-yard touchdown against Oakland, where Wilson got 78 yards after the catch.
https://www.miamidolphins.com/news/inside-the-numbers-dolphins-31-bears-28
With 101 rushing yards against Chicago, Frank Gore became the fifth player since the AFL-NFL merger in 1970 to have a 100-yard rushing game at 35 or older. He joined Emmitt Smith, Marcus Allen, John Riggins and MacArthur Lane.

Did you post that after 3 games when he was 4th?
____________________________________________
Actually I believe i did.
Couple of thoughts on a shoulder, okay just one thought
They usually don’t go away in a day or two
So it looks like Oz may get the start again Sunday, you can almost count on whoever starts this weekend will also start the short week game as well
Not that I’m super excited by Oz but interested to see if the offense does continue to appear “smoother”
I was very pleased to see 3rd down converts, punts turned into field goals etc I realize everyone stepped up a bit but the system itself looked a bit more fluid than it has.
Sure not saying he’s the guy but this could be Brocktober, let’s win a couple
How cool is it we win over the Lions, pull out a rare one over Texas and we are 6-2
(Hey a guy can dream)
GO PHINS !
GOOD MORNING DOLFANS EVERYWHERE!!
#1–Brian in NY; I’ll be bringing my 2 tix for you and your son to Dave & Buster’s.
#2–Miami’s “home field in the shade” had its origins at the historic Orange Bowl. Robbie copied that layout in the new stadium, which forces visitors to be in the sun THE ENTIRE GAME!! –We could see Da Bears wilt in second half and in the OT last Sunday. Radio commentators mentioned that “it was a significant advantage” as the game wore on! Whiny Bears’ players bitched about it, too! I feel so sorry for them and their dark jerseys, too.
#3–Dolfans SHOULD wear white tops to the game. They reflect some of the sun whereas dark jerseys ABSORB more of the heat & sun. Heavy duty sun tan oil is AN ABSOLUTE MUST for you pasty white northerners!!! And PIGGY—wear your hat, damn it!!! We’ve had record highs after record highs this summer. Sunday may be another one. Drink lots of water and Gatorade and you should be OK.
————————-
The Tokens big hit “The Lion Sleeps Tonight!” will be in force as Fins win 30-17!! GOT THAT??
PS: This will extend my winning streak of games I’ve attended to 7 straight!
OD,
How about you take a trip to Houston Next Thursday? LOL
OK there’s a question out there on if we had a do over would you trade up for a QB!
The answer at this time (for me) is still no
None of them have proved shit yet!
one more thought!
I’m going to strip the STIGMA of drafting Alabama players off forever!
They come into the NFL prepared! Team guy’s! Hard Working!
So we all hate Saten! He doesn’t produce WHINERS!
You don’t get around the top 10 in the draft often, hopefully. When you’re there, if you need a QB, you try to get one.
After the last 2 drafts, I would trust these guys to trade up if they find one worth it!
They seem to have there shit together?
Not now nor would I ever give up Minkah. I only wanted Baker and since he went first there was no chance. The year before I would have gone up and got DeShaun as he slid. Even though he’s going to suck next week.
There is something there with DeShaun, i just am not sure if he can hold up to the NFL punishment. He is one of those guys thats going to give everything he has on all plays, but those guys limp away fromt he game. You have to play smart at that position and given his size, he needs to be extra careful. I think there is something with Lamar Jackson too but he is in that same boat. The problem with both of them is they have to fundamentally change their game, and their character to have a long career in the NFL and thats unfortunate.
Of those DT listed in the last page i remember Neal while he was at LSU, he’s pretty solid. Diuegot Joseph is a guy some here liked a lot he played at FIT, and was pretty decently touted.
Will Clarke has the most starting NFL experience i think though.
James is great against speed rushers, and not as good against power rushers. He has quick fett for lateral movement, but h has a hard time getting his anchor set when they are on him off the snap. I think thats why he seems inconsistent, because he is actually pretty consistently good against some and consistently bad against others. Overall though he is an above average OT, and his run blocking is pretty good consistently. I think James is a OT to try to turn into a career player here, with he and Tunsil we have a solid nucleus we just need to build that middle up and get some depth there and then we wont have to sweat injuries and such.
Tim you are making M13’s point for him. You dont have to be Tanny’s defender man. People arent shitting on him, they dont share the opinion that he is good enough to be called out franchise QB, thats the jest of it. I have blindly supported him in the beginning, he let me down, i started being cautiously optimistic he would bounce back and improve given time, he let me down, he keeps making me want to believe in him and i try …only to be let down again and again. I just dont have the patience to keep holding onto hope of him miraculously materializing as a good QB. Dont you think he has had long enough to show up?
You can paint that as Tannyhater i guess, a term i have heard you used before, but the way you ferverishly defend him comes off as tanneholic for sure. I really dont make it my part to figure out what side of the fence a person’s argument is going to be on because of labels, but i do know that if someone throws down the Tanny gauntlet on this board, i can expect you to take the challenge almost every time. Im not sure whats the right way to call that, but if there are Tanny haters and you can put people like Randy or Son, or whomever in that bucket, then i think surely there are others on here that can be called Tanneholics because they areon the opposite end of the same spectrum.
I feel like we need a new QB, i dont think we have a franchise on on the team, i do know that Brock played the best game at QB that we have had this year, so yeah it was 1 win vs 3 Tanny got us, but that was a tough opponent, the game just had a better feel to it, execution was better, Brock managed the pocket and pass rush pressure better, it was overall a much better game than any other this year. Now given the chance of “any given Sunday” i know not to think that we can expect that consistently out of him. He would be a starter on some team and not our backup if he could be, but after what i saw, Tanny needs to stand there and hold a clipboard until that other Brock shows up. Otherwise you arent trying to win, you are playing favorites. Tanny has not done anythign to deserve to be given that spot, he should have to earn it back.

———————————–
Dont know if thats true Randy, some teams are there very often lol. Ask the Browns.
I don’t hate anybody…..been accused of it a lot….but that doesn’t describe how I feel about Tanny. I like the kid, as a professional and a person from all we’ve heard. That just has nothing to do with my evaluation of his play. I thought Incognito was a complete ass, but he was my favorite player for how he played.
****
QBs are always a point of contention on every team….unless you have a superstar. I don’t think we are any different. I wish Tanny would prove me wrong, but I just don’t see it. I just don’t think he’s a guy you win big games with.
Wasnt calling you one, was just saying people, Tim being one, has labeled you that before, used you and Son as two people i know for sure have been called out as Tannyhaters.
Hell i think i have walked a really middle groun line with Tanny for a long ass time, and even now feel im walking a middle ground line and im called one too.

——————————————————————–
When Baker Mayfield went 1st, my desire to trade up dropped off a bunch. I could have seen us trading up to 6th or 7th for Mayfield just because of how much Gase liked him, and also because he would fit our system like a glove. I liked Allen the best and i believe he has the most long term potential, i would have probably still been tempted to trade up for him at 6th or 7th but i would have weighed out what was still ont he board first. Given so much talent was still there i probably wouldnt have. After Allen was gone i wouldnt have traded. I liked the idea of Rosen and had he been there when we picked, i probably would have taken him, but i wouldnt have traded up for him.
Im with Son i really like the Minkah pick, so i wouldnt want to give it up now, but Baker Mayfield was a guy i thought could really help our team out, specifically because Gase felt so confident in him. I wanted us to have a guy that you could tell Gase really believed in, even if i felt like Allen was the type QB i wanted.
Some of Sabans players come in as polished products, what i do know is that with his personal connection to Saban, Gase is going to know which are which, so if we draft an Alabama player, i feel good about that player turning out good for us.
I feel like a few people think I was trying to make a point with my post about Run/Pass ratios, but truthfully, I wasn’t. It was actually responding to another post on the subject.
There are some that think we run too much or pass too much and I was showing that we’re right in the middle of the pack. win/loss, winning/trailing…it’s all relative, and the fins given their record and the amount of time trailing/leading are kind of a good case study.
I feel like there’s a little stat hating in this group. It’s just data. Draw your own conclusions, but don’t diss data. It’s fact.
I’m coming around a little bit to Randy’s POV on Tannehill fwiw…
I’m probably more optimistic then he is, but at some point I might have to admit he’s average. I’ll be stubborn a couple more years though. 😛
He looked pretty good first two games and he got injured in the third. Long though he’d never be elite, and even average NFL QBs don’t grow on trees.
True true Stanger.
D, you gotta realize though, it’s the fact that there are those that defend and those that criticize that makes the conversation flow. If everyone who loves Tannehill stayed quite while those who don’t spoke up it’d be a boring one sided conversation, same as if your “tanneholics” (kudos for creativitiy btw!) were the only one’s talking.
and….Hello! Good to read ya!
All aboard the Fest Bus….. many thanks Toba..
I better warm up a little this year
Last year I think I sprained a wing on the flight down
I’m getting old and can’t fly like I used to
Look we all know who Tanny and Oswieller are!
It’s good to have a conversation about it! But why do you have to tear one down to prop another one up?
Tanny is a middle of the pack Starter!
Oz is a fringe starter that found a back up job!
One get’s you 8-8
The other get’s you a new QB! 4-12
Maybe that’s the angle I’ve been missing?????? 😉
Just gotta enjoy Brocktober while we have it. 🙂
D
I won’t be sold on Backer until he can shed the Big 12 Stigma!
I really don’t believe in that though!!
I just don’t know if I could deal well with his antics?????
He’s got more Manzel in him than Mahomes IMHO!
We’ll see
Well Manziel was an SEC QB not a Big 12 🙂
Texas A&M ran a big 12 offense! 😉
So let me ask you guiys something about parenting in 2018.
My kids school has finals tomorrow and there was a school shooting threatened last week that said it would happen tomorrow.
In their infinite wisdom the school ALSO has a disaster drill planned that day.
Is it just me or does the idea of putting every student together in one place on a day when a school shooting has been threatened seem a little stupid?
Jahn I guess it falls into witch philosophy you want to follow?
Do you let terrorism to change the way you live?
or
Do you go forward and live your life and let the chips fall where they may?
I’ve told my son (who is 21 and not in HS, but is in college) that the best thing in the world he can do is put that DAMN phone down and pay attention to his surroundings!
Will this help???????????
I get that, and I’ve decided I’m not going to keep her home from school, but really? A safety drill? Doesn’t it seem reasonable to schedule that some other time? It’s not ONLY the threat, it’s the fact it’s in the middle of a final. Was a bad idea to begin with.
Thanks for the feedback Wyo. Appreciate different perspectives. My daughter is an only. I had to go with my instincts on this one and left the principal a reasonable message telling him I thought the drill was a bad idea.
Yeah the drill should have been canceled but it may be by regulation of the district that it has to happen and it may be that the have put it off until now it has to be done toady or they didnt meet their deadline. There is a lot of bureaucracy in the school system too.
That’s possible D but unlikely. It will be the 3rd drill scheduled since school started. The last one was an “active shooter” drill.
Good times.
And bureaucracy…..you got that damn right! We have an interim principal because basically the last principal lost a popularity contest.
I think the idea that there are schools as large as they are right now is part of the problem. With schools with thousands of students in the student body, you get less of a community experience and more of a prison like experience. The crowding of schools and the high student to teacher ratios are bad for education and bad for thing like stress that lead to shootings. As a byproduct of smaller schools and more communal involvement because these are smaller community based groupings, should be less risk of more shootings and less damage if there is one. Yes it will be more expensive to maintain 3-4 smaller schools vs one district school, but i think the educational experience and safety of our children would be a benefit worth that expenditure.
The schools could also be designed better if they weren’t so large to prevent ways in and out that cant be maintained through security.
Yeah, this one is 2500 students.
On Sunday Phins had 541 total yards, highest in 30 years.
Also had a 300-yard passer, 100-yard rusher and 100-yard receiver in the same game — first time in 27 years.
UUUUGHH !! My body is at work and my mind is at Fest week today. Just got to get through this day. Fly out early tomorrow morning.. Can’t wait !!
Chase Allen goes on IR. Guess we won’t see his family tailgating this year.
I hope they don’t lose a draft pick or something like that for this;
Ill have a shit fit if that happens. Thats something that i can see them fining the team over, or what not but it wasnt something that was done to cheat in any way. Previously, teams have lost picks, but it was for doing things that was violating personal contact rules, like talking to a FA before they were allowed to or discussion contract stuff before they were supposed to. This should rank up there with that.
Really what this affects is gambling, so if the NFL wants to own up to the fact that they are controlled by gambling, then go ahead and bring the hammer and destroy the whole sports otherwise slap us on the hand and keep your dirty little secret.
For a while the sides were being called Tannekills and Tanneshills, fwiw.
D, I will lose my shit, buy a ticket to NY and force my way past security at the NFL headquarters to BEAT THE FUCK out of anyone responsible! NE has been dicking around with injury reports as long as Belicheat has been there.
Speaking of Belichick….
http://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/25007908/bill-belichick-put-khalil-mack-lawrence-taylor-class
I have to say i agre with him on this one though.
Rock — how much of the Fest festivities are you hitting? More than just the game.
So looks like Brocktober will continue, Tanny ruled out against Lions.
BrocktoberFest!!
Yes
Brocktober, I love it Jahn.
Let’s hope he stays hot.
Hehe..can’t take credit. I heard Alex Marvez say it on NFL radio yesterday. Figure it’s worth propagating though! Sorry I’ll miss the fest. Hope you guys have a fantastic time and get a great win!
Yeah too bad you can’t make it.
Home game against a one win team, we need to have this one.
2 win pardon me. Still have to have it.
I just want to say one last time that this team has wasted over 6 years on a guy at quarterback who was never going to be the guy many were hoping he would be. Thank God it’s over.
Dont count your chickens…. When the offseason comes, and he isnt on the team then you can say its finally over.
I think that there is little to no way they dont invest in a QB in the draft at this point, but he’s 13mil cap savings, and 13mil dead money next year, and that makes it about a 50/50 on if he stays or goes. Im leaning towards gone at this point, but it probably highly depends on the person they bring in. I dont see many QB in this next draft that walk in as a day one starter, or at least i should say, none should be asked to be.
If Brock does win the starting job this year and carry it into next year, then its going to take finishing out this year strong to do that. That would make Tanny completely expendable as he would be the starter and the rookie would larn behind him. If he doesnt, then Tanny might be brought back next year to give the rookie time to learn which means we sit through another year of Tanny as the QB.
Right now i cant say whats going to happen with any confidence because there are a lot of steps from where we are now to that ending, i just hope that we might have gotten the spark we needed from Brock to get this offense going and i hope it continues as long as it can. Im not hung up on Tanny or Brock, im hung up on a good offensive showing from our team and i dont care who gives it to us.
Oh for fuck’s sake. I’m going to rely on the judgement of the professionals (those who make a living at it) that thought that said QB had/has a chance to be at least average. Over…you know…BarcaLounger prognosticators with delusions of grandeur. And there is no one on this board who is a professional. If anyone could make money finding football talent, they would be making money finding football talent. Not posting on fan boards.
Stanger, will be at D&B on Sat as well. Getting on a plane to NJ now and won’t be back until Friday 11:30 PM
You would think the guy fucked your sister and then told everyone she was a whore or something
If he fucked my sister i would just tell him we could call it even for a night with Lauren, i wouldn’t worry about getting him off the team 🙂
interesting you chose Sister and not wife lol…..
It’s not really my business who my sister fucks…..wife Is a whole other level of homicide
I hope we do really well against the Lions not just for the sake of the fest, but to me this is one of the more winnable games we have left, outside of the ones against the Bills and even the one in the tundra they call Bufflo worries me, just because of the weather.
It sucks that y’all are going to come back down to earth in reality next week when Brock Osweiler plays like Brock fucking Osweiler And throws up three picks and one TD and we have to listen to the 4000 Lions fans chant us out of our own stadium
Well that’s uplifting…
It’s not meant to be it’s meant to be a dose of reality to all the Skippy fucking tutus on here who were dancing around like Snoopy on top of his doghouse because Tannehill is hurt Claiming that there’s a better chance of us winning with Osweiler because they’re just blind fucking haters who have formed an opinion and cannot change it. In otherwise intelligent people it is a moronic trait.
Oh, almost forgot
IMO
I dont feel im expecting much from him, im hopeful we might get more of the same from him but im fully aware of his past and why he was a backup and potentially could have been cut in PS. I know who he is, but i feel good about what he did last week and i hope there is more and not the dismal prediction you seem to feel is more likely to occur.
The image of Brock O in my head right now.

Oh for fuck’s sake. I’m going to rely on the judgement of the professionals (those who make a living at it) that thought that said QB had/has a chance to be at least average. Over…you know…BarcaLounger prognosticators with delusions of grandeur. And there is no one on this board who is a professional. If anyone could make money finding football talent, they would be making money finding football talent. Not posting on fan boards.
———————————————————-
Tanny had talent, he was someone that our OC at the time was very familiar with, we needed a QB, and there were a lot of other teams that had him on their bigboard as a first round QB. Thats undeniable. How it turned out is not how we wanted it to, not how the FO wanted it to, im sure, but also a lot better than it could have (see RG3).
I wanted the Tanny pick, he was my top choice for us, Cousins was my backup choice. I liked Cousins but despite things turning out different, i never thought for a minute that Tanny wouldn’t turn out and i never though Cousins or Wilson, or any of the other (other than Luck, who we had no shot at) were a better choice for us.
I was wrong, they were wrong, it happens. I just wanna see us do something about the situation and that starts with riding the hot hand at QB through the rest of this season (be that Tanny or Osweiler) and then do something about this shit when the FA and/or draft season begins.
I just get tired of people saying Wild ass shit just so they can say “I told you so” in the off chance it happens.
I think we get the Denver Brock, not the Houston Brock. Not that he’s better than RT, although at this point he’s not worse. Just different strengths/weaknesses. Ride the hot hand, win some games. Make OD pay me $50.
Miami Brock at least thinks we are getting Denver Brock. And Denver Brock scored a huge contract. Not like teams didn’t watch his tape….. so the talent is at least in there.
Yeah, but what do teams know? Not like they have BarcaLoungers.
Yeah, but what do teams know? Not like they have BarcaLoungers.
LOL
@ OD having to pay up. I think he would be happy to
He would. It would mean Miami won a playoff game.
Rock – If we’re talking haters, we have to mention Son. He not only hates RT, he hates kittens, puppies, and apple pie.
I love apple pie, pumpkin on the hand…
The whole false narrative that the offense seemed to run smoother this past weekend is just that. False.
Punt
TD
Punt
Punt
Interception
Interception
First six positions of the Miami Dolphins
Yeah feels really smooth Fucking haters are going to make their own narrative anyway
I think I was the first to say it looked smoother. Smoother doesn’t necessarily mean more effective, although scoring first was a nice change. It was more that they seemed to get into and out of the plays faster and the plays were sequenced well
I put 1 INT on Parker. He didn’t even look for ball…
The other INT was terrible and basically a pick 6.
More to come……
He had an awesome completion for 25 yards however it was a terrible throw bounced off one player and Kenny stills bailed him out by grabbing it out of the air
Thank God Albert Wilson went off in the fourth quarter and saved the game for us !
All this hate on RT17 will fade when Brock is Brock again.
Or maybe Brock does a 180 of his career and becomes good…..
Either way this team needs a QB of the future. That QB isnt on the roster. IMO
I don’t want that to happen I want Brock to be very successful. As long as he starting ! I am going to cheer for him because I hope for our team to do well !!
The difference in this game was that the running game worked and allowed for the short passing game to also work Aust Wyler through three deep passes the whole game tonight were intercepted one down staff the wrong receiver into the arms of Kenny stills for a lucky reception the remainder of the game he threw 5 yards in the air and rest was YAC. The double standards on here are ridiculous Tannehill would’ve been destroyed by this crowd for that game
Did you watch the game?
Every play that’s why I don’t know where your confusion is coming from other than preconceived opinions and Blind denial
I have neither. You love him way more than I hate him. I’m done with him.
I’m ABT, I’ll take my chances on Brock or anyone but…
Had enough
We know
You love him way more than I hate him. I’m done with him.
Frayed to tell you you’re not he’s here for another couple years you all are just in denial
I have the same problem with Tannehill hate as I have with chem trails
If he ends being our QB for another couple years I’ll be rooting for him just like I always have. Bet he still wouldn’t prove me wrong either. That’s what sucks.
My opinion on Tanny remains unchanged, but not seeing Brock as a savior either. He threw 2 INTs and a huge chunk of his passing yards were Wilson runs. Nice to have 2 QB options though.
Derek Anderson is starting for Buffalo?? Wow. LOL
They should just cut Peterman now…..
I have my fingers crossed that Brock Osweiler plays a good game this next week because we had one touchdown and two field goals through 3/4 of playing until Calvert went nuts and ran for 150 yards and two touchdowns in two receptions that traveled 4 yards in the air What the narrative is that he was great 👍
I think that is what Gase wants. Quick passes to quick guys
Getting a little testy in here, or should say teste
I don’t think anyone said Brock Osweiler was great. We did win, and he did look composed and in control of the offense, and for a guy coming in as a backup this week, that was good
This past week
why I have avoided here lately
No need to avoid this place, what’s the worst that can happen?
I get tired of watching snoopy’s stupid dance and get “teste”
So your response to people feeling different than you do about something is to just avoid them because you cant accept people see it differently? I dont disagree with some of your argument but its just as full of biased opinions as anyone elses, but im completely ok with you and your opinion, why so upset with me about mine, which ive looked back over it and i dont see one thing that i have said that is in la la land.

Reply
I don’t necessarily think he only wants to do quick short passes. He has called plenty of deep passes over his tenure as OC / HC. I think he calls those type of plays to mask weaknesses on the Oline.
I busted MikeE’s chops during the draft about Giisicki hurting our offense, but it was only half jokes. He sucks as a blocker and hurts us when in Max protect and in the run game. Thus the guy off the street is playing ahead of him. Because he CAN block and it helped tremendously against the Bears D.
O’Leary looking like a great pick up.
Its not masking a weakness, pass pro is going to fail, the best thing you can do as an offense is get the ball out quickly. It prevents the DBs from getting a good read on the play, same for LB’s and it helps negate a 20mil a year pass rusher. This is the modern NFL and Gase definitely likes it to get in play makers hands quickly so they can do what they do, he has said so many times.
Rock – kinda funny that you will be in NJ while I’m in FLA
Am in NJ. LOL
One thing I do know, when many of us are in the stands at the game this weekend, we will all be cheering as one when the Dolphins score, and hopefully win, that is what is all about to me 😀
Can I get an Amen?
I’m not saying we’re better off with Osweiler and there’s no possibility he shits the bed. I’m just saying Tannehill’s days in Miami are numbered; just like I did with Landry. And remember how that worked out
I just hope whomever the QB is, we win the game. Could care less if I was right or wrong about anything
Just to set the record straight for the blind. I am not a homer who loves Tannehill and thinks he can do no wrong. I am just a realist who sees Aaron Rogers get sacked 50 times in a season too, I see Brady melt down and play like shit. I understand what is happening on the field and don’t need an emotional target for my ire.
I also lover Frank Gore and am super glad we have him on our team. If you just went by my devils advocate aproach when I argue with Rob you would think I would root against him. NEVER I love Gore. I just appreciate and enjoy watching Drake too so when the argument brakes down to sillyness it might seem I don’t like him.
Bottom line is what I have said in the past. Tannehill is way better than given credit on here, but no he is not elite.
I’m going to start harping on Fitzpatrick. I think he is great, but I’m going to pick apart everything he does, I’m going to do it vociferously again and again and again and see who wants to read it.
.
Rock, so you think Ryan Fitzpatrick is great but Tannehill is not?……oh wait…..😉
I will qualify. I think he is a great kid with a lot of potential (Fitz) I’m not sizing him for a gold jacket until he plays great for a while. But he is popular and a good target for my ire. So I will generate “hate” and blame him for everything I can on the defensive side. Just to make a point of how asinine it is with Tannehill
Rock, I get it, just yanking your chain, that is why I said Ryan, not Minkah….jbb

yeah, but it is only one of a handful of techniques. and it absolute IS used to mask weaknesses on the Oline in many cases. Perhaps not every case. As you said the sport evolves and goes through fads, but to negate that 20M rusher you have to sometimes sacrifice the deep pass. .
And here we go….
Yawn
good night
LOL
I enjoy your posts Rock. You’re not a pompous douche.
Exactly

Yes, rather than get is stupid arguments with them that get them all up in their feelings and wanting to “talk to me face to face” this weekend. Yes.
I’m looking forward to talking to you face to face this weekend, Rock.
That should be a lot of fun.
I hear you are deafening.
I only yell at the game and only when the defense is on the field or after a good play by the offense.
I am enthusiastic.
I’m all in man.
Looking forward to meeting you too.
Rock — you probably won’t be a fan of the seats this year. They are a lot better, but part of the price of that is part of three rows not together. So when you turn around and get all stand the F up…. won’t be talking to the crew.
I’m a pompous enema there is a difference!
Rock – you’re my favorite pompous enema. lol
Ewww
Mike, you have a problem with sinus irrigaters?
Yes, especially when used as an enema
HA HA HA HA HA HA HA
Tanny doesn’t make the 2 point conversion! Unless he can somehow run it in!!!
But he wouldn’t have thrown that INT on the out either!
It’s not my opinion it’s the NFL’s opinion that Tanny is a starter and Brock is a back-up!
I don’t like comparing players because you shouldn’t have to tear someone down to build someone up!

Bookman, I got it. you ended with a winky eye. LOL
Lol, ok
You could make this a Phest activity! 😉

Stanger, I will enjoy being around anyone. I am equally obnoxious to everyone on 3rd down, friends and strangers alike.
You can microscope Minkah, he’ll be right way more than he’s wrong. He’s a guy who’s supposed to do a job, and that job isn’t Quarterback.
I can stop bashing Tanneslack at any time if people are bothered by it. I have punching bags and plenty of glassware I can throw. I’m just trying to have fun and bust balls.
don’t stop on my account man. I will just argue with you. LOL Same with Orob when it comes to Drake.
“My GF might be fat, but you better not say so where I can here” LOL
Good, I wasn’t gonna stop anyway.
See you Saturday pal. ( and that’s not “pal” like Orob would mean, lol, it’s a genuine Pal)
you guys have netfilx? I am binge watching Punisher
—————
Ouch… #26. If our Defense could generate a real pass-rush, we could possibly be a top-ranked Defense overall.
we have the potential. Our secondary has played pretty well overall, with some glaring exceptions where there was an invisible WR on the field.
I agree… we’ve got the potential. Hopefully we get some of that pass-rush back with MR. Wake coming back and Andre Branch soon to follow. And hopefully Charles Harris’ light comes on soon.
See you Saturday pal. ( and that’s not “pal” like Orob would mean, lol, it’s a genuine Pal)
Looking forward to it man.
If Rob shows up to D&B he’ll get a big o’ hug from your’s truly too.
See, You all are MINE….don’t fuck with mine. 😉
MF13, I am surprised that first round Harris has gotten such a free pass on here. I know he has had Wake and other vets in front of him, but player MAKE coaches play them. (Minkah).. who sucks by the way. 😉
Brocktoberfest!
Hulkfest baby
Hulkfest
I just read a ‘report’ from 3 Phins fans (Kris Coughman, Simon Clancy, and Alfredo Arteaga), claiming they have the lowdown on Tannehill… that he’ll be out 2-3 weeks due to his shoulder.
I don’t know how they know this while the local and national media don’t know this… AND their ‘report’ came out nearly 24 hours ago. Clearly, their report is bogus.
Tannehill is still game-to-game/week-to-week and more clearly…day-to-day after this weekend’s game. His season is not suddenly over (barring a major setback or Osweiler lighting the NFL on fire), so that’s a GOOD thing.
WHOEVER our QB is, ROOT FOR HIM!!!
GO PHINS!!!
HELL YEAH!!!

LOL, I hear ya! 😀
I’m really pulling for Harris to get it together and SOON. It will set us back largely if he doesn’t pan out (see Dion Jordan).
he is nowhere near Jordan. we have gotten SOME production out of Harris already, and everything you hear is how he is a worker.
YES… VERY much agreed! However, I’m talking about that hard work translating to bigger numbers on the field. He’s getting there (a fair amount of pressures), but he’s still got a way to go.

that’s what I saw. He was a big part of the run success, pass pro and his 4 catches.
