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!

I guess the Jets D isn’t that good.
Neither is their offense and neither is ours.
You watching the Jests now??????? 😉
Oh damn, our line looks bad. if one of those guys gets hurt, what then? Play DT”s at guard?
Asiata
Who know? It’s absurd. The end of the depth chart starting on the OL and a backup QB. If we win this game just friggin enjoy it. LOL
We are not allowed to enjoy wins
Woodyard laying a yard of wood on Brady on that trick pass.
Stupid play imo it is just a way to finally bring about Brady’s retirement
I love watching the Pats get whooped on.
Bumblin, Stumblin look at him go!
LOL! I LOVE IT.
THIS is how you do it NE
They are just going to demoralize them with Henry now. LOL!!!!! LOVE IT

Johnson and Asiata the backups.
Don’t complain when we throw a lot of short passes today. Not sure we’ll even be able to do that. 😦
That is not a pro caliber line
LOL… we should have drafted 5. Oh wait… they’d be on I/R or out anyway. Never mind.
It’s what they will talk about in the Superbowl Pre-game show…..
Two win Buffalo is BEATING UP on 3 win Jets and the Titans taking it to the Pat’s like they have a grudge or something.
Great day of football so far today. Let’s get a WIIN Dolphins and keep this day going.
Only way we get a win today is if Bookman brings his mug filled up with your homeraide and he shares it with our OL
Brady on he bench. Belecheat concedes .

Dear God no! Why would you want to poison our players before the game?
you see my avi? That’s it at night. it is so radioactive it glows and can start fires without an outside flame source.
BURN IT DOWN
Have you seen them play? Poisoning can’t hurt
I think Gase will try to run today. Let the O linemen get their testosterone on, before opening up with the play action.
Unless our D get’s smoked right out of the box I see us running and screening a lot .
After the Tundra Fest win we will be one game off the division lead.
The way I look at this game today is if we’re in it late it will be a moral victory. We are so decimated by injuries if we win the Packers have major issues.
Burke said he had a good game plan to keep Rodgers contained
I liked that Cincy lost as well, now if we can get the Raiders to beat SD, and we take care of business it will be a great Sunday
Here we go. Go Phins.
wudisay? run on them!
Get that O line smacking them in the mouth
I like that play with Grant in the Jet and Gore off the LT
OMG
OMGWTFOMG
Oh My Hell!!!!!!!!!!
Like I said, here we go again. …another wasted opening drive.
OMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMMFG
Great opening drive and then that. Ugh!
Well that sucks
It looked like we were going to get off the snide and actually score on our first drive. Now they have field position as if we went three and out.
Ok, That was still an encouraging drive before the fuck up and fumble. We were doing pretty well moving the ball on the ground.
Now get a defensive stop.
We’re not tackling
D did not show up today
Oh boy
MF
Um….
Ok, don’t change anything Gase. It was working. It’s still the first quarter and we are only down by one drive.
Get the O line to settle down again by running the ball.
Instead of up 7-0, 3-0 and then maybe 7-7 or down 7-3, we’re down 7-0. Can anything else go wrong with this team?
Sigh
Caroo!!!!
CARRROOOOOOOOOO
Now KEEP RUNNING THE BALL
Watch it Piggi. I hear Conchs
Shhhhhh
Dont say it Rock
GOD DAMN IT I DIDN’T SAY IT
I have to say props to the OL so far other than Sterup getting schooled there. We can run on the Packers. Keep it close guys. Defense you need a good series here.
Hello defense hello anyone?
Yep! Our team is like a box of chocolates, you never know what you’re going to get.
Ok Jones can play now. Get his ass in there.
I can’t watch this game and I don’t feel like wasting time following the game cast. You guys have fun with this misery.
It’s 14-6. Wow you jump off early. LOL
We have no problem moving the ball but can’t score TDs.
That’s 2 scoring drives so that’s a good sign but we need to start getting touchdowns but more importantly we need defensive stops.
Well there’s that!
Yeah!
Let’s go score a TD and make it a game.
C’mon let’s put it in the endzone!
Final score, 35-15?
Still no TD but 3 straight scoring drives with a stop in there bodes well for us. Oswieller has missed a few throws but he’s having a good game so far. Need Touchdowns
Stop them before the half
Okay it’s still a one possession game 14-9. But we need a TD at some point. The 2nd half is what scares me.
Well at least we don’t have

Huge stop
Dumb play calling
Really? I think Gase has done real well with a mostly backup offense.
Almost
Shit
He can’t throw deep!!!! Ugh!!!
I can throw deep!
It might be nice if he could at least throw it to a receiver :-(!
You are probably better at it than Osweiler
There was the TD!!!!!!
SMMFH
Play Fales
He’s on IR isn’t he?
No Falk is
Okay, it’s a game. The offense can move the ball. Scoring TDs is another thing. The defense seems to have tightened it up. We’ll see in the 2nd half.
We are still in this game at the Tundra Fest!
did they ask you to dress as an OL reserve yet?
X
Bobby got WHAKED!!!!!!!!
Stop
Caroo
Block
BLOCK
Nice job defense. Let’s go STs and/or offense.
Yessss!!!!
Caroo with 2 FRICKEN 2 recoveries????????????????????????
carrrrrrroooooooooo!!
Put it in
I am trying to…oh wait a minute
it was like pushing rope
I hope you guys at the game are standing up at the appropriate times!
But do it politely. Greenbay fans are the most polite fans I have ever seen take over our stadium…..
4 piece
That’s a half chicken…
Colonel Sanders
Hang in there Sanders
Come on man
Can we keep kicking ourselves in the ass? Geez!
Same old defense
Same old offense while I am at it
You do realize this is not the offense we penciled in? We’re playing in GB on the road against Rodgers and still in the game for now.
We were never in this game
5 down at half….. things could be worse. Still a game for the Tundra Fest crew.
Horrible
Bad throw. Ugh!
You may be right New Age! 😦
and now we “Have to abandon the run game which was ‘working'”
BO stinks
And so does Osweiler
Well this is what I was worried about. The 2nd half collapse. We stop GB on their first possession and they had a 100% scoring pct. to start the 2nd half scoring. Osweiler throws a horrible pick. That’s where we are as fans. 😦
Did you see Drake shaking his head at the OZ throw!
Career day for Caroo
Caaarrrrrooooooooooo
Where is Piggi?
Caroo’s big day
Come’on….. down by two in Green Bay at Tundra Fest.
Nice call!
Apparently he CAN play Special Teams
WTF? Why the fetal position so early?
Caroooooooooooo!
Caaarrrrrroooooooooooooo!! !
LCIII can play
