I was watching Good Morning Football this morning on NFLN, and after showing highlights of the Panthers vs Bucs (42-28), and Saints vs Rams (45-35), yeah, it looks pretty wrong seeing 13-6, Dolphins over Jets. Kay Adams and Kyle Brandt presented it as a good ole 1990’s defensive struggle, a throwback. They got it all wrong, this wasn’t a defensive struggle, it was an offensive struggle. Jets rookie QB Sam Darnold didn’t get the memo that his team was wearing the white jerseys, because he threw better passes to the dark jerseys than he did to the white jerseys. If you want to credit our pass rush, which actually existed yesterday, feel free to do so. On our side, we couldn’t block (run or pass), we got one defensive TD and two FG’s. Light it up!
I’m not singling anyone out here, but our O-line play was just terrible, and of course as per usghe, injuries were the reason for this. Both tackles missed time in this game forcing Zach Sterup to man both the RT spot when James was hurt, and then slide over to the LT spot when James came back in and Laremy Tunsil got hurt. So now Brock Osweiler, who I will say has better pocket awareness than Ryan Tannehill has ever had, has no pocket awareness because players were on him in 1 second or less. Our O-line isn’t good with all our starters in there, but subtract one of our tackles, who are our 2 best OL, Tunsil #1, James #2, it really goes downhill.
I don’t want to knock the optimists here, because it’s wonderful that fans can still believe we’re in this, but I laugh inside (a sad laugh) when fans say “Oh, not good, the Chargers won, gonna be tough to catch them”. From what I have seen this year, we don’t belong on the same field as the Chargers, they score 28 PPG, and we’ve scored more just once this year, in OT, and never more in regulation. We’ve had injuries, but we still have Devante Parker, Kenny Stills, Jakeem Grant, David Amendola, and Mike Gesicki. We have Frank Gore and Kenyan Drake, a formidable 1-2 punch, yet our offense is putrid. Yeah, we’re 5-4, easily the worst 5-4 team in the NFL. We’re the only 5-4 team.
My guess is we’re probably going to have Brock Osweiler as QB one more time as we hit the BYE week, and then after the BYE, it will be Ryan Tannehill’s team once again. We travel this week to Wisconsin to take on the Packers in their house. This is an angry Pack team, having lost to the Patriots in Foxboro. Anyone know who the OC is for GB? Tee-hee, it’s Joe Philbin. Not even kidding. Possibly, this explains how the GB Packers are only scoring 24 PPG, just a few more than our Dolphins. Hey, is it bad that Saints WR Michael Thomas accounted for more yardage and scoring by himself with 211 yards and 1 TD, while we accumulated as a team 203 yards and no TD’s?
It’s easy for Belichick to do whatever he wants, he’s beyond reproach at this point, no one questions the master. How smart does he look using Cordarrelle Patterson as a RB? Can we get some of that ingenuity from our offensive genius Adam Gase? Don’t bet on it. I wish he would read this and it would inspire him, but I won’t bet on that either! I wish something would inspire him, maybe keeping his job, something like that.
I know Toba, Bookman and ER are attending the GB game, I hope they enjoy and I hope our team gives them a great game to watch and a Dolphins victory! Enjoy fellas, way to represent!
Finsmob Unleashed 
Tannehill is not even playing and may not the rest of the year. Yet he’s being discussed as if he has played the last 4 games and will play this Sunday. This guy is like crack for some of you. LOL
I think it’s more about Tannehill’s future with us… or possibly without us. I say he’s the best QB we’ve had since Dan the Man… but will Gase cut bait on Tanny after his rash of injury, coupled with a looming $26M ’19 season coming up?
Best QB since Marino is still Pennington, but then he came to us with a short shelf-life from the start. Penny is the guy who should get paid the most if a FA given the age difference though.
Yeah I know but it’s everyday people saying the same thing as if anything has changed. There will be plenty of time for it in the offseason when the decisions will be made one way or the other. We still have a season to play and we are still in the playoff hunt. I get nobody expects us to do anything special this season including me, but isn’t this why we are fans, to watch the games and root for the best until it’s over?
If we beat GB this Sunday things get very interesting. As long as the season is alive we might as well enjoy it. So many teams in the AFC are still close and week to week the standings can change. Even if we lose this Sunday, we’re still in the hunt. I’m looking at it as if we’re a dark horse until we’re a dead horse. LOL

Are you suggesting that I am easily angered?
Well that just pisses me off!
Dammit, wasn’t THIS year…..for about the 4th year in a row…..supposed to be Tanny’s “prove it” year? I don’t know how many more of those I can take! Lol
Iinjuries happen man….. especially when you decline on the ACL procedure that still has Adrian Peterson running wild.
Kind of hard for him to do that being out. This season wasn’t just all about him either. It was to erase the stink of the shit season last year. So far the stink isn’t completely gone. We still need more Febreze. LOL

—————-
In any given season? YES… I agree with ya, Stanger, on MR. Pennington. But I’m talking more about a long-tenured QB with Tannehill.
My bad — meant to say Tanny was the more valuable commodity overall.
It wasn’t just Tannehill we were discussing, it was our offense with Gase. The more games I watch like last night’s game, it makes me wonder if could ever compete in a game like that with Gase. This leads of course to whether it’s the coach or the QB, but the numbers for all 3 are pretty darn similar. Does that further indict Gase, or has he just not had the right QB?
IMO, it’s Gase.
I think it’s both!
The Steelers ran mostly pass plays just like we do. The difference is their OL is playing at a very high level and they run it very well. And Big Ben is a future HOF QB.
Just being honest, I don’t care how well we run the ball, we’re NEVER putting up that many points here with Gase. We never go for the jugular, we never keep the throttle down, we never just explode on another team. I hate that’s the case, it’s so frustrating.
All good! I DO, after all, agree with ya on MR. Pennington. Sucks that his injuries forced him to retire from the NFL.
This was a reply intended for Stanger.
If Pennington had anything other than a noodle arm…… he could have been HOF. As is, darn impressive what he did with the arm he had.
100% agreed! There’s a reason why I call him MR. Pennington.
Injuries are part of the game. Part of proving your worth is staying on the field. Besides, even when he’s healthy, he’s just an average to slightly above average QB….and always will be. Continuous injuries will just make him less effective, if anything.
Randy,
I want to apologize to you if you felt my use of “retarded echo” offended you in any way yesterday. I quickly replied to the post, stating that I didn’t mean it the way it may have sounded. It’s an old cliche where I come from (and probably for most of y’all), and I meant nothing against the mentally challenged.
I think(?) most of y’all realize that I have special needs individuals in my fam, my blood brother has worked with mentally challenged individuals (I’ve got photos of us with many of them on holidays), and I meant nothing disparaging against these individuals.
I think(?) you understood the cliche, hence no blow-back from you. Nevertheless, I apologize to you, Bro.

I’ll let Randy speak to the potential for the mentally ill to voluntarily submit themselves for treatment. I’ll just say that there currently exists a lot of free and confidential options. They are just under-utilized. As for treatment facilities, are we talking involuntary commitals? Not that I necessarily disagree with that, but it does run counter to most of our constitutional rights. And the asylum/treatment facility has been abused in the past. One of the reasons they have mostly gone away is that they are sometimes, at least seemingly, inhumane. And mental illness is not something that can “cured.” Treated, yes, but that is a lifetime endeavor.
As for homelessness, to try to pin it to one cause is futile. I would say a lot, if not most, is caused by substance abuse. Now you may consider that a mental illness or bad life decisions. I don’t know.

IMO you dont catch all the fish in the sea casting your net, but if you dont cast it, you dont catch anything. If its available, some will take advantage of it and thats hopefully one less nut job who grabs a gun and goes into a bar and kills 12 people.
I do get you cant cure all emotional/mental issues, but you can keep a majority of things manageable with the right combination of meds and therapy. Still thats what they need start trending in the right direction instead of continuing to slip into the abyss.
I understand and agree homelss situations arent always from mental instability, but i do think there is a large majority of it that stems from some sort of emotional or mental issue, and yeah i do consider drug addiction to be a mental issue. People who are completely healthy mentally or emotionall would not let them selves go that far. It might not be apparent to the outside world what issue they have, but they turned to drugs for a reason and they stayed on them to escape from something, so inhernetly i think thats is an emotional or mental issue.
And the beat goes on… and the best goes on. Hope Tunsil and James can play. SMH
I’m looking at it as if we’re a dark horse until we’re a dead horse. LOL
Funny
I look at us like we’re a dead horse, until we somehow get re-animated. lol
Could we plant some of our dead horses into the Pet Sematary? 😉
They come back a little scary though . . .
Mike, the Steelers are loaded on offense. They are better than we are at every position. Maybe not RB but their OL is superior so their running game is also superior.
Didn’t Gase do that sort of thing in Denver? Yes I know it was Peyton. But the Steelers have Big Ben too. Did anyone know who their OC Randy Fichtner even was? It’s the overall talent. That game was easy for Big Ben. Guys were wide open all over the place and he time. We don’t get wide open all over the place and our QBs don’t always have time. There is only so much a coach can do with what he has to work with.
How are we suppose to go for the jugular and keep the throttle down when we can’t even get to that point? Our offense isn’t good for a lot of reasons. We have some good skill players but as an offense we’re not where we need to be. Comparing us to the Steelers is a big leap.
I’ll say it again and again, it’s about talent and execution, not play calls. When the first two are there, nobody focuses on the play calls because they produce.
Mr. E is such a negative nelly this year. Damn.
At a combined $20M per year for both of them, they better be.
Agreed! Unfortunately, we drafted neither of the two, so as to have them on their rookie contracts. SAD!
Neither guy is on their rookie contracts. Zeitler is in his 7th season and Botino his 5th. That’s extreme hindsight on your part. Zeitler was also drafted by the Bengals and they let him walk. Not sure why you think every top prospect should have been drafted by us. When you add up how many times you say this about multiple positions, we’re out of draft picks.
Zeitler went 27th in 2012 the year we drafted Tannehill 8th and don’t tell me would should have drafted him instead. Botino went 35th 2nd rd in 2014 when we drafted Landry 63rd. I also don’t remember how we ended up with such a low 2nd rd pick that year. Must have been some kind of trade.
This hindsight game you play could be done all day for every team. It seems to me you just keep trying to put a negative stamp on anything we do. This one was a real reach.
IF we want Mike Gesicki to become a force in this Offense, we’ve GOT to allow our QB more than 2.x seconds to throw the ball, Gase.

M13,
No worries, man. I’m not a big word police person. Besides, I wish I’d been labeled as retarded….ya basically got out of class most of the day. I’m what they called just plain stupid. Lol
Thank you kindly, sir! I appreciate that.
But what??? YOU, man, are NOT just plain stupid… joking or not! I’ve always held you in very high esteem and still do. Your football input is more appreciated than you may think, my man.
And your human side is MOST appreciated, SIR. You work in a field very similar to many of my fam and friends. It can sometimes be very unrewarding in terms of $$$ and benefits… but SOMEBODY has to do it. MAJOR props to you, MR. Randy, for what you do!
But as you very well know, the rewards don’t necessarily come from $$$ and benefits. To put a smile on someone’s face is very often REWARD ENOUGH! Love ya, Brother!
Mike,
I’m not selling you anything.
You are supposed to apply the three no rule before you give up on the sale! Tell him about the free clock! What about the fruit of the month club, he still hasnt heard about that either!
Good, because I’m not interested! Wallace and Tanny were a two way street. They both had their issues, but Wallace did better everywhere else than here, and that’s a fact.
Mike, that’s not true about Wallace. He’s had arguably one better season in his last 4 seasons than he did in Miami. The most TDs he’s ever had in a season was 10, one in PIT and one in MIA.

—————-
To be honest (always am), I didn’t realize that we’d have sacrificed Tanny for Zeitler, nor Landry for Bitonio… I didn’t dig that far into my statement, and you are 100% correct on this one, Tim. I thank you for your statement regarding Zeitler and Bitonio in the scope of this convo.
Tim, this is NOT dripping with sarcasm. I know a few here call me “cryptic” (why?), but I’m being serious on this. You’d KNOW when I’m being sarcastic, I promise.
You have to look at where guys went in the draft and how they were graded at the time. Then where they are now in their career. Hindsight is the easiest game to play. One could argue that if we took Botino in 2014 at #19 instead of James it would have panned out better. But even James was considered a bit of a reach for us and the way Ireland left the OL for Hickey he was kind of forced to do it. Botino probably would have been considered even more of a reach but it would have panned out because he’s a better guard than James is a tackle.
Until these draft prospects get into the league and play a few years, nobody really knows how any of them will pan out. Like they say, it’s not a prefect science.
With the way things work out for our OL it seems we could have drafted and signed all the best players and they’d all end up on IR. It’s maddening what goes on there. Now Larsen is doubtful this Sunday and Davis, Tunsil and James are still questionable. Can you imagine what our OL is going to look like if all 4 don’t play? Can we even field an OL and depth at this point? This is now becoming beyond absurd. 😦
For the love of Christ, Tim… I agreed with you on your former post! Pull it together, man!!! 🙂
Dude relax, I didn’t attack you here. I’m saying this for all of us. “You” meaning in a general “you” way. Then I went into some of our history and hindsight about what Hickey could have done. Then what we’re dealing with now. Nothing in this post was addressed to you personally.
Tim – Do you think the Bucs are loaded on offense? Do you think they have a great QB? 28.6PPG,
Do you think the Colts are loaded on offense? 28.9 PPG
The Colts undoubtedly have talent at QB, but I think they’re far from loaded on offense. Other teams get it done, just not us.
You don’t think our QBs are good enough so there is that. LOL
If Gase is tired of asking Tannehill if he’s healthy, I’m quadrupley tired of Charles Harris being out every game.
Tim, We originally had the 50th pick, we traded back with SD to 57 and then traded back again with SF to 63rd.
Thanks! I forgot what went down there.
Just beat the Packers!!! Shock the world! On the Tundra! In the cold!
Season isn’t over until all the games are played, and I am going to try to enjoy each game…cause it is a looooooong off season.
Agreed! We can still pull this season out!
Pull it out of what???
I think we’ve peaked!
The Bucs have 9 players on IR, the Colts have 12 on IR.
and they are both 3-5
Your point???????
I’m just looking at their offenses. Both teams are terrible on defense, but Tim was saying we can’t expect to score like the Steelers because they’re loaded on offense. I gave him 2 teams that aren’t loaded on offense, yet score way better than us.

I’m really trying to be optimistic, that Gase will change his play-calling. However, I tend to agree with ya, Mike E… we’ve likely already peaked.
Let’s hope for the BEST!
It’s a great time when it’s more fun to talk politics than dolphins!

Asiata is back on our 53.
Tim – As far as Wallace, man I remember it like it was yesterday. How many discussions we had that if Tannehill could only place the ball where Wallace could catch the ball and run, how many times he underthrew him, or threw behind him. Wallace has his 2 worst YPC averages here in MIA. That’s what I was discussing. Bess had 9.0 YPR, Landry pretty close to the same, Stills is the one guy who he’s had success with, but not nearly enough. It’s like sometimes he doesn’t know he’s on the field.
Are you really going back to the Wallace days? I just made one point about it statistically. I have no desire to revisit this or debate it which I could. Not interested.
I think what sports has to done me is forced me to always look at the big picture, not just this season. I think we’re not going anywhere this year, I’m trying to figure out how to fix our next season, not that I can really do anything about it. lol
Tim – I don’t think our QB or our HC are good enough. I really don’t.
That’s fine. Wait until we see what OL we put out there this Sunday. Yikes!

I’ve found it to be very helpful to address the whole “you” thing by typing “ya” or “y’all” instead. That way, it doesn’t make it sound so personal, as opposed to saying “you”… which sounds very personal by nature.
I hear ya, buddy.
If I made a post not a reply and started off, “When evaluating a draft, you need to look at all the variables.”, it’s not addressed to anyone in particular. I type like I speak. My post didn’t refer to you in any way.

Man you have got to get rid of that red Jersey in your pick!
I keep having to go back and make sure that wasn’t Rock’s Cool-Aid guy!!!!!!
Same here. LOL
Mike, Gase said you don’t know what you’re talking about Tannehill is playing good, we hit a speed bump in NE and made a few bad calls in Cincy, I didn’t know you knew Gase?
wait a minute that’s Armondo he was talking about…My Bad!
he played well in 16 under Gase and he was 3-2 this year, I’m not as ready to give up on #17 as most around here.
Save yourself the trouble, give up. 🙂

So when are we having that Fest at Tim’s beach house this year?
That’s a great idea SB
It’s not my house and it’s not on the beach but a lagoon. That said the drama going on with rooms and who can use them for guests has been a bit of a shit storm. Without my in-laws there – may they rest in peace, the siblings are not exactly on the same page. It sucks because it’s a beautiful house with plenty of room but private oasis’ have become an issue. Real petty silly shit.
Damn you Tim, we were bringing the Fest to you. Maybe we could have it in the lagoon? Maybe? Maybe? You never, ever know.
You could tie me to a motorboat!
I would have to tie you to a neighbors motorboat as we no longer have one. LOL
Mike, have you seen what our OL could look like this Sunday? Larsen doubtful, Tunsil, James and Davis questionable. We need at least two of them to suit up or it’s potentially:
LT Sterup
LG Johnson/Asiata
C Swanson
RG Johnson/Brendel
RT Young
Dreadful. Osweiler’s gonna wish Tannehill never got hurt
Yes I know beer, M13. LOL
Womp womp
So when are we having that Fest at not Tim’s lagoon house this year?
LOL
SB – I’ll make a NE Fest at my place if you’ll come
I don’t live on a lagoon, I’m walking distance to a creek. It’s where I use my Haitian canoe
Are you going to tie me to a motorboat?
Yes, so the fishes can eat at you! Just don’t step on the piss-clams!
SB, the only criteria is you have to travel there by Haitian Go-cart. LOL
Mike, too funny I did not see your Haitian reference before posting. LOL
*googles piss-clams*
LMAO Tim – That’s crazy that you brought up the canoe too!
But I changed it to Go-kart. LOL
Funny thing is my uncle and I built one just like this back in the 70’s.

I think we are done this year and next, or at least im hoping we are. If we really want to fix this shit, we have to make some changes that are going to initiall set us back. I cant any set of moves that puts us to competative in one preseason. I mean it could happen, but realistically, it would take a lot of things to happen better than expected to have it happen. Im settling into the idea that we just ride out this year and how we actually start building in the right direction next year. Ill tak that at this point, not putting any expectations outside of that. 2020 though, im expecting the team to start playing football again, and not this embarrassing shit they have been playing. That might be a with a new coach, but if things go down like i expect them to, it should be Gase’s last shot to stay our coach.
LOL i have been watching Piss Clam videos. You catch them by throwing a rock and looking for a piss stream to come out of the water lol. Interesting.

————————————————–
THOUSAND OAKS, Calif. – California bar shooter [name deleted by me] posted disturbing texts to social media as he waited for law enforcement to arrive at the scene of mass slaughter……[He] immediately shot a group of security guards and employees standing near the entrance, and then paused to text or post messages on social media. He then began shooting victims in the dance hall area.
He posted on social media at 11:24PM PST: “It’s too bad I won’t get to see all the illogical and pathetic reasons people will put in my mouth as to why I did it. Fact is I had no reason to do it, and I just thought… fuckit, life is boring so why not?”
Then at 11:27PM PST he posted “I hope people call me insane (2 smiley face emojis).. wouldn’t that just be a big ball of irony? Yeah… I’m insane, but the only thing you people do after these shootings is ‘hopes and prayers’… or ‘keep you in my thoughts’… every time… and wonder why these keep happening… (2 more smiley face emojis).”
WOW… lots of political talking points there, said by the shooter.
It’s at the end of the second paragraph!

D – That woman in the piss clam video sounds like a woman I used to work with.
I wouldn’t mind Asiata in there. His run blocking is real good and how much worse in pass pro can he be from Larsen?
Good point, but we’ll find out Sunday
Agreed with ER.
If you guys feel the way you do about our QBs and dealing with the OL issues we’re going through, the loss of Wilson who was our most explosive player this year, I’m not sure what you’re expecting. If you were Gase what would you do as HC? If you can’t execute, play calling means nothing. If you call a run and get minimal gain or a loss, then a pass play with little time for minimum gain or an incomplete, what do you do to open up the offense? There is no magic wand.
The team we put together to play this season has been compromised. That is a fact, not an opinion. You can only roll with who you have. We’re rolling with a lot of 2nd team players or young players who are not ready for prime time. It is what it is. Sometimes you need good fortune or luck however you view it. We don’t seem to have much of that. Gase has been challenged with all of this pretty much most of the time he’s been HC. So tell me what you would do? I have no idea what I would do other than try to compete and win the game anyway we can.
I think it’s fairly easy to see which QBs have the ability to be top NFL talent. Accuracy is paramount but there’s also a leadership aspect many people don’t take into account as much as I do. Mayfield will be fine…because he’s handled massive adversity and change since college. Rodgers took a middling Cal team to a top 5 ranking. Brees took a middling Perdue program and made them Big 10 champs for the first time in 30 years. Big Ben took a Miami team to a top 10 ranking. These guys elevate their programs. They take inferior talent and make it superior. I’m not sure there’s a guy like that in the upcoming draft but we need to find somebody. Draft one every year until we find one.
Agreed.
What I like about Mayfield is that hes always been a walk on and worked to take the job over. He deserves to be cocky if he works as hard as it appears
Yep, his most impressive stat is his never say never attitude….but just slightly above that accuracy!
Shooter was simply an evil fuck.

M13, how did the shooter is Cali turn into being against conservatives and God? Because of –
Then at 11:27PM PST he posted “I hope people call me insane (2 smiley face emojis).. wouldn’t that just be a big ball of irony? Yeah… I’m insane, but the only thing you people do after these shootings is ‘hopes and prayers’… or ‘keep you in my thoughts’… every time… and wonder why these keep happening… (2 more smiley face emojis).”
That is a person right there who lost all control over his own civility. Not a political statement. That’s an excuse.
SIR… this is another matter of evidence, nothing more. You may not like it, but he stopped his carnage so as to post what he did.
Don’t make it about me. And for the love of sanity, stop trying to read my mind at every turn, dude. I have faith that the courts will discover the truth in this matter.
Why are you so combative as of late? $#!t… I can absolutely AGREE with you (which we generally do), yet you find something to nitpick about me or others. C’mon, man.
It’s getting to the point of frustration for me. I mean, I can’t even agree with you anymore? What is that?
I go by what you say, everyone does. When will you realize this? You say shit then say that’s not what I meant. Okay, that makes for great conversation. Let’s go around in circles. Own your comments and stop deflecting them when someone asks you a question about them. All I did was ask you a question about what you said then you get all defensive about it.
A person who kills mass amounts of people is not political to me, I don’t care what their motive was. They have lost their own civility. Politics is about ideology and policy, how a country should work. Not murdering innocent people because you’re disgruntled.

Wilson turned out to be a great player for us, but in reality, he was supposed to be either 3.1 or 3.2, depending upon whether you considered him ahead of Amendola or not. It was supposed to be Parker, Stills, Wilson and Amendola, Grant and whoever. Parker is here, Stills, Amendola and Grant are still here, along with Drake and Gore. He should be able to work with these guys, and challenge teams vertically. Maybe drill through your QB to let it fly, try to make things happen out there, don’t look for the guy behind the sticks, find the guy open beyond them. I don’t think he instills that in his QB’s at all. I think he teaches them to try and not make mistakes, so they throw these 3 yard freaking passes on 3rd and 9.
I know Stills was out some, but we have him now, and I really hope they use him vertically, I can’t see how we beat the Pack unless we score a bunch of points. Our defense shouldn’t be expected to keep the Pack under 20 in their house.
This offense doesnt know what the word verticle means. RT17 looks like he took at least double the shots Brock takes. But Brock makes RT17’s long ball look like Rodgers…..Brock is just terrible and Gase has to know it. So the limited mid to deep throws are going to be even less…..
Tim,
I haven’t been impressed with Gase’s playcalling no matter who’s been healthy.

I swear to you, I watched Brock Osweiler come in a game last year, I think he came in for Siemian in the second half. That boy has a helluva arm. He was throwing the ball all over the stadium, and nice deep throws. I don’t think he has a weaker arm than Tannehill at all, though some people here keep insisting on that. I hope he gets a chance to air it out. I know he’s not accurate, but I swear he has plenty of giddyup on his fastball.

Watch the highlights, then tell me this kid doesn’t have a serious NFL arm
Idk man. Our Brock stinks. LOL
He’s only taken a couple deep shots and they were horrible. Gase sees this and there’s gonna be even more of the 1yd passes we all love.
Would love to see it breakout this week tho!
M13, you have been called out on politics and other comments you’ve made having nothing to do with football by many people here. You never justify any of it. You always run away from it by saying back to football or saying I’m Audi.
You never explain your initial points. You tell people you agree and disagree at the same time. I know where you stand politically. You’re full on conservative red, and by the way I hate the color designation created by the media over the last 20 years. Liberalism and globalism is your bogeyman. I think everyone here knows this. It’s not just me, you’ve been called out by many people here. The issue is, you don’t really explain yourself well because you bail on it after saying it.
Own it!
I’ll own it, right here and now. Your rant seems to vilify anyone who disagrees with you. If I’m passive about my convictions, that’s my prerogative. I think that’s very cool on my part, as opposed to force-feeding my convictions down anyone’s throat. I think you’d concur, no?

—————–
You didn’t answer my question. What’s more, you’re mired in others questioning you and your thoughts right now. Why direct your anger at me tonight?
Tim, what do you think of Brock Osweiler becoming our potential starter in ’19?
We will never go further than .500. He is not starter material to me. But stranger things have happened. He’s limited in every phase of being a QB. The only thing he has is prototype size. I will give him he has a grasp of the offense and he competes. He’s not good enough.
M13, ask me where I stand right now on life, politics and current events, I will answer you honestly as opposed to the merry-go-round you start up every time.
Then I will ask you the same and that should put an end to and clear up all the confusion here. I’m game, GO!
You went in on me regarding the FACT that the shooter took a break from his shooting, so as to mock “thoughts and prayers” from conservatives.
I don’t know where I went wrong from there. Let the courts decide the who, what, where, when, and why.
I’m sorry I even brought that fact up now. Perhaps I should be shouted down, so as to suppress my #1A.
I took the thoughts and prayers comment as they dont do jack shit. Whether he was trying to make a point or not, I doubt it. He was nuts.
But…if my interpretation is right, so was he. They are pointless. The problem which is so big and many levels isnt getting resolved . All we do is say I feel bad for you with some damn hashtag….
So we qualify that as what? You playing victim now? How about rightwing leading psychos doing the same thing. You still think this is about politics or deranged people?
You would think there would be more discussion on piss clams, but here we are.
LMAO! You would think . . .

Ok, I apologize in advance, but when I read that “he came in for siemian”, I read it wrong.
😀
Osweiler has a very good arm. It’s just not very accurate
The fact that people think Osweiler is on the same level as Tannehill makes me glad none of you will pick the next QB. If we do well the rest of the season it will be because of playmakers doing something special, defense and STs. It will not be because we rode the arm of Osweiler. LOL
I think this Tim – Whether he’s on the same level as Tannehill, or better or worse, I do know that so far despite the fact that everyone here says he’s terrible, he has extremely similar stats this year here to Tannehill this season, and if he can play one good game, he’s going to have better stats. I know tats aren’t everything, but they do tell a fair amount of the story.
Oh, and tats aren’t everything . . .
WTF! LMAO
Ken – That’s pretty much it. Now if the right coach can help him with his throwing motion, who knows, although I think it’s probably too late at this point.
Osweiler is backup material nothing more

We qualify this as a matter of evidence in a court of law. I’m all for speculation, but you’re now becoming ridiculous in making ME a part of the case, Tim. Have a seat.
We’re done. You keep deflecting. You couldn’t even play the game. Good luck, I wish you well.
Our future is not with any QB on the roster as of today.
This I can agree. It’s more of if we draft a QB, which QB, if any on the roster, would you prefer to be the placeholder. I’m more than fine with neither of the 3 we have.
I am quickly becoming disturbed that some on this blog are discounting the fact that Sunday’s game is not only a pseudo “Fest” game, but, I also have a one game winning streak attending Dolphins game at Lambeau
Just beat the Packers!!!!
Bookman we need retribution for the home Fest I’m counting on you guys to bring us a win. We should be able to generate some offense on them and our D, if playing properly, should be tough for them to beat even with Rodgers. Wave that mug/keg with wild abandon wear long Johns and bring us a win. Toba has a good record in games he’s been st he knows what it takes. I’m kinda feeling us Sunday, bring it home FUers.
💪💥🐽👊

If you fuckers don’t come out of there with some mother fuckers cheesehead as a trophy I’ll feel let down. This is a business trip. Take care of business. I want pics!
We need our D to show up
We need Gore on a mission
We need a couple of deep throws to hit or result in penalties
We need time of possession
We need points on 5-6 drives
We need 6-4
ER, I was looking forward to meeting you, it’s too bad you couldn’t make the Fest. We probably would have won if you were there so you have a golden opportunity to get us a win. Step up my man we need you! 😎🐖💨
Next year. Book it. Looking forward to meeting more of the mob. Even you, you son of a…. 🙂
I’ll be doing my best from the nose bleeds.
GO FINS
You are what your record says you are (Bill Parcels). We have the better record aka we’re the better team. Now prove it.
Son, you are awesome! lol!
Beat the frickin Packers! It IS possible!
I admit it…I had to look up piss clams
Mike, if you think Tannehill is only a middle of the road QB, fair enough. Who believes Osweiler is the answer? Give me one person. I’m pretty sure you get crickets. It’s not even close. The guy can’t throw a pass over 10 yards without a flutter on the ball. At 6-7 235 he throws the ball no better than Case Keenum who is 6-1 210. They both get it, but don’t have it. When you say Tannehill doesn’t have it, he can make throws and move better than either of these two guys can. It’s so obvious. It doesn’t mean Ryan is the answer, but to compare him to these two types of QBs is like not seeing skill and potential. In camp if they all compete, Ryan wins the job. He’s more talented.
You want better, no issue with that. But until you do, you want to go with less and accept it because at least you already know it’s worse. I guess you have patience. LOL
Safe and sound in Minneapolis,, Mall of America is a very overrated, and overpriced destination… used to be better about 10 yrs ago.. Dicks Resort was also a disappointment compared to the time we went in Vegas…
Bit of shopping here in the am , if I make it to a gas station lol.. kinds ran a wee bit low …then on the road to see ER’s place and meet up with he and hopefully Bookman tomorrow
Looking forward to it.
Employee issue puts me actually working in kitchen til about 5. After that i’m just helping out front with hosting and cashiering.
LMAO at Son .. see what we can do for a cheesehead trophy 😎
As I said earlier this week , there are NO unwinnables on our sked including this one .. one game at a time. Let’s hope Asshat shows he deserves to be in there and not Due to attrition… he proves out Okay , next year we have a REALLY Good STARTING Oline .. just a lot of pieces are on IR right now … this has a familiar ring to it ? Seems I’ve heard this before ?! 😳
Play the game and go from there. It’s not the end of the world.
Is it safe to post? The midterms are over… as a “snowflake” I’ve kept my distance so as to NOT upset the ‘oranges’.
yes… I know people will be upset with this… but FU if you’re so sensitive. Politics is like sports. You compete hard. sometimes you win, sometimes you lose… just pray you aren’t the Dolphins that go decades trying to recapture Don Shula’s ‘secret sauce’ cuz that just makes you ‘Ross Perot’ lol
um.. oh yeah… Go Fins
What up “commie”?????
My State is still red
Yours is still blue
So pull out your head
And cheer the “FU” 😉
I live in Texas. LOL. blue in Texas means “I’m sad, I need to buy a gun”.
Safe travels Manitoba
Tim – I wanted Tannehill to succeed so much, be beyond an average QB, be just never got there. What I was trying to get across about Osweiler is that people here, including you talk about Osweiler as if he’s so much of a drop off from Tannehill, but I don’t see it that way, and their stats here this season definitely don’t show that. I don’t think Osweiler is the answer. If he would play for us next year cheaper than Tannehill, I’d take him while our drafted QB grows
Tannehill is 11-7 over his last 18 games with Gase
Rhino – welcome back snowshine!
I was down on Tannehill this off season but i’ve changed my mind a bit, first of all we’re stuck with him, 2nd I’m not sure we could upgrade the position by replacing him in the next year and a half so why not try to make the best of it.
he’s a whole lot better than Chad Henne.
and i like osweiler as well, he seems to not make stupid mistakes, i like that when he’s in trouble and cant get rid of the ball he just does his best to get down and protect the ball.
all in all i don’t think the QB position on our team is that bad.
most glaring need is get a deeper OL,
I definitely think that you do not reach for a QB. I mean, if there is one there with the traits to become something, sure you draft him. But don’t throw the baby out with the wash, by dumping what you have simply for the sake of something new.
