The score tells the story, the stats tell the story, but eyeballing that garbage really told the story. There was hardly anything to hang your hat on from Sunday’s game. The Ravens played another game of “Who’s Your Daddy” and just knocked our dicks in the dirt for 60 minutes. TE Mark Andrews was targeted 8 times, how many catches do you think he had? Yup, 8. So much for our LB’s and safeties being better in coverage. I said Eric Rowe was going to have a tough time being targeted often and oh bot did that rear its ugly head. WR Marquise “Hollywood” Brown torched us for 4 catches for 147 yards and 2 TD’s. Rowe looked woefully inadequate and the scary part is we probably don’t have anyone on the roster better.
OK, let me get this out of the way immediately. This is NOT tanking. Yes, we have set ourselves up for success for next season and beyond by acquiring a substantial amount of draft capital, but the plan is not to lose as many games as possible. The truth is, we’re just not good, especially against a well coached Ravens team. Harbaugh always has his team prepared, and the gap between Harbaugh and Flores at this juncture is significant. John Harbaugh is in his 12th year as Ravens coach, their system is in and has been in for a long time. Sure, they evolve with the different players, especially QB Lamar Jackson, but they have a way of doing things that has been done now for over 11 years. That makes a difference.
The game started with RB Mark Ingram ripping off a 49 yard run in where he was chased down by Xavien Howard from behind, and untouched until Howard finally caught him. Those of us that thought the run defense would be better were rudely shown otherwise. The Ravens went 89 yards in 4:26 and made it look exceedingly easy doing so. That surely set the tone for what was to come. Dominance in every facet of the game over our unprepared Dolphins. At this stage of my life, for my sanity and other health concerns, I have to turn the game off and look for other things that don’t raise my blood pressure 50 points and don’t have me feeling like I want to kick my neighbors dog. I don’t remember exactly what point of the game I turned it off, but I turned it back on and saw Josh Rosen in at QB. Fitzgerald wasn’t hurt, so why put Rosen in this shitstorm? Poor decision by the rookie HC. Not a good situation to get any kind of fair evaluation there so why bother?
I’m not hating on Coach Flo, this was his first game against a better team and much more established Head Coach in his 12th year with the same team. It showed every bit of that disparity. So what happens from here? We face the New England Patriots next week in Foxborough. The Patriots beat a much better team than us handily, crushing the Pittsburgh Steelers 33-3. Now every week is different, we’ve that time and time again, so anything can happen. I would assume our players have pride so after a beating like yesterday, they will want to come out and play much better football, and it’s going to take that and more to beat the Patriots in New England, where they rarely lose. To expect the Dolphins to upset the Patriots would take a Miami Miracle. Can that happen two years in a row?
GO DOLPHINS!!

Finsmob Unleashed 
Minkah’s mom probably won’t let him play today
Minkah’s Mom never should have gotten involved. Same time maybe was just a Moma Bear knowing her cub was unhappy.
Flipping page turn
Soooo
Now it’s Drake we’re trying to trade ?
Drake and Jones are the other two who make sense, but then Minkah never did.
I guess we were actively trying this past week to move drake
RBs do have a short shelf life. Probably better for the kid to go elsewhere. Like him.
Mike,
From now on when you use either the word ‘Minkah’ or ‘Fitzpatrick’, any use of the word ‘prison’ must be at least 8 posts away…unless you’re talking about Ryan Fitzpatrick. Talk about that cracker all you want.
Who is not seeking a trade from this team?
I am at the point where if they can trade Minkah, Drake and Jones or who ever just go ahead. Let’s get 32 first round picks next year
Whatever they do, next draft is gonna be the hugest draft in team history. And don’t forget about that $130 mil plus in cap.
ITS GAME DAY BITCHES! GO DOLPHINS!!
Homeraide !
Not a chance! I am not drinking that poison anymore!!
Preston Williams get’s the start today across from Parker
Williams is a guy very pleased to be on the Dolphins right now.
It’s game time. Go Phins!!!
Go Phins!!!!
Love the helmets!!!
And so it begins
Ballage tried to body catch that.
Welcome to the Darkside
bad long snap. I miss Denney already
Absolutely uncovered
You can’t play zone against Brady wtf
Hot knife meet butter
Our D is bad
I’m sick of hearing about AB. Can we at least do something about that?
I am all for purposeful injury
hit him low as he plants his cleats
Really nice stop by Mc and Baker at least
Wow nice pass by Fitz
Lead FB for the first
Yawn . . .
our o line sucks too
our pass rush sucks
David is not good at LT. He needs to be moved back to RT
Davis but blocks like David
Yes but the reality is whoever is behind is worse
David might be better
Drive Brady into the ground after the play on his throwing shoulder.
Is the paint dry yet?
Man, I hate living here. Anybody wanna know how the Vikes are doing?
They are sucking
Nice stop
Punter for MVP
punter off the side of his foot for 38 yards
Why does Flores not like Drake?
Hey at least this feels like a normal game and not a debacle. Now let’s score some points offense!
Trade Parker
Cut the punter
Our offense is offensive
nice sack
Oh my God blatant holding by Mason on jenkins
Knew that was going to get picked up when I saw 3 man rush
Gase didn’t love Drake either. Maybe there’s something to it
The line doesn’t like any RB
ok so is it not a foul to interfere with the punt receiver?. oh wait it’s the patriots
It was our own guy who hit Grant.
how is it still only 7-0 ?
Because our offense sucks
It will be 21-0 by the time we touch the ball again
whoever made that Gieco commercial obviously we never hit in the face with a flaming marshmallow!
Drake’s been in the game the last few series. Why is everyone saying nobody likes him?
Should have been OPI
bull fucking shit, the second foot was out of the endzone that was not a fucking TD
He also pushed off fully extending his arms. That should have been OPI
AB is the NFL storyline today nothing is going to go against him
Get ready for more sucking
Time for Fitz to make some magic. He looks so pedestrian so far.
There is the shove and the TD apparently
I was trying to hit grant who had Jones draped all over him….
Just painful
It’s like we are not even trying on offense
I guess putting two hands on a guys back and then pushing until your elbows are straight is not pushing off……
They are so inconsistent with those types of calls. I’ve seen less than that called.
Let’s Go Jax!
This is more like what I expected last week. Quality defense and a putrid offense.
I’m stoked that AB is getting all this play, airtime, and success in today’s game. It’s always nice to see a good, quality human being get what he deserves.
maybe the s fl heat will become a factor in the 2nd half
It will, I can see our Defense already panting with there hands on their hips
2nd half is when it really kicks in. Drains you.
Yes I expect our team to totally collapse in the 2nd half
Back from the game, We won!
what did I miss, how are the Fins doing?
Congrats.
They are playing better than I thought they would but why was Wiltz covered anyone especially AB? Knowing the system but being completely outclassed seems to make it just as likely to get burned like he was.
Might as well throw Rowe in that statement as well. He’s been burned nearly every time he’s been targeted. We definitely need another good CB.
True. I was hoping he was better than he turned out.
If Fitz keeps floundering can we see Rosen? He’s bringing nothing to the table. The OL has given him time to make throws. The run game needs to get better but Fitz is not inspiring much.
Our oline looks pretty good in pass pro, but fItz has been meh, although our receivers aren’t helping much. Parker should have had that deep ball. He high pointed it perfectly, but it went through his hands. Ballage has a drop. I didn’t see a replay on that last play to Grant, but that looked like a drop too.
He’s had time to throw more than not.
Yep, run blocking hasn’t been great, but no complaints on the pass pro.
Ok, I want Howard to have a pick 6 this half.
I want Minkah to do that. Increases the trade value.
LOL I Love the I’m your cat Mayhem commercial
Okay let’s go offense. Someone make a play.
Now we return to the sucking…I mean offense
1st down sucking
2nd down sucking
Lol ballage ducked the pass
3rd down int
Going for a rub an tug after the game Kraft?
At least someone gets a happy ending
Why? He is getting one in the game right now lol
Watching the first quarter, Dolphins intentionally tanking again! SMH
Starting Ryan Fitzpatrick and Kevin Ballage looks stupid
Goodell will take some picks if we keep this up
The defense is getting a lot of practice
Has there been a worse starting QB so far than Fitz? Since the pass pro has been ok, he needs to be out there. This coaching staff is what isn’t inspiring confidence right now.
Rosen needs to be out there
Rosen gives them a better chance to win, that’s why Ryan is in there
This is what I was kind of hoping we were going to run. Brady ALWAYS has someone wide open
starting Ballage means there isn’t any importance or effort to win, he’s a third stringer
This is pitiful
No he’s not, he and Drake are 1a and 1b.
Pathetic, Drake is the patriot killer, he should have started
I’m glad I’m coaching basketball and will miss this garbage, this is the worst Dolphin team ever imo, even worse than 07
I have a 15 year old center that could do better than this crap. Kid is 6 4, and a stocky 238 and can dunk, lol
My team Magic , beat the Celtics 51-3. Our center dominated , he can dunk at 15
I asked his father, what are You feeding him? Lol. He said the kid cleans out the house, eats as much as 4 kids
Have the Dolphins passed the 50 today?
We barely have 50 yards of total offense. What a shitshow.
OMG TNT
Fitzpatrick looks uninspired. Sorry he looks like shit!
This is who he is. A career backup
He is obviously paying someone back
It’s time to part ways for both parties
The defense has been fine. Offense make a fucking play and make it a game. Geez!!! If I see Fitz get one more pass blocked as he throws right into it I’m going to… I don’t know… do something crazy! LOL
Go crazy Tim
LOL
Now we have less than 50 yards in offense
Yawn
face mask and a late hit on grant and no call
We just really need to tighten up in the DB.
So late hits don’t count anymore?
I Wanna see Rosen , enough Futz
Rosen wasn’t brought here to tank, Ryan was
I seriously don’t like this tanking crap
For years I would get so pumped when Sunday came around but this is what I feared we would be so pitiful especially on offense that I could care less about Sunday now
Exactly, thats why I found something else to do on Sundays
Put Rosen in and start that era. I can’t watch Fitz anymore. I see no let’s go guys from him or any fire.
Time for the D to fold. They’ve been out there for 9 quarters
Exactly
Rosen’s first start will be against Redskins
Where is the vet leadership and fire from Fitz? I see none of it. He looks like he just goes through the motions. Enough!!!!
We already knew he was terrible, but he’s cheap , cheap is what they wanted and cheap is what they got
It has nothing to do with money. You have a young QB on your roster that would like to prove himself. It’s time!!!
It’s the money, don’t forget who owns the team and the NFL’s cheapest payroll
Looking a lot better than last week. 🙂
Really? The offense looks much worse
Yes they really are..
Ugh + Yawn
Do we have to go to the game for the Fest and ruin a perfectly good time?
Drink lots of beer. 6 years of pre med I can’t be wrong
We can drink plenty of beer at the beach. I swear it’s going to be the worst part of the week
You guys should just party at the tailgate and have fun
Dolphins linebackers stand still and watch Brady sneak it in for the score,
that’s a tank job, in a real game, lb don’t stand still
Flores has seen Brady do that for 14 years. Why not put a LB in that hole? Brady always checks and does a sneak if no one is that hole.
3 and out what a surprise
And now we’re one dimensional.
We have a dimension?
Oh yes, flat
Losing isn’t a dimension, lol. Flores should be fired for not trying, but his boss Scrooge Ross , is very happy
Ross is saving money and tanking at the same time, everything is going perfect in his eyes
David, can you watch a fucking football game without your owner hate nonsense?
Seriously? Review your comments on Fitz before calling out mine
The game is not nonsense, it just looks like it
This is what Ross wanted
Looks like there was a bunch of fireworks on the field before the Colts game. Literally.
https://www.espn.com/
Errrr.
https://www.espn.com/blog/tennessee-titans/post/_/id/28615/machine-at-nissan-stadium-catches-fire-on-field-before-colts-vs-titans
lmao
Rowe isn’t a starter.
Rowe blows so bad
Enjoy the game Tim, lol. Don’t think about Ross, think about loss, 14 more left
Pass rush has looked pretty good today. See I can be positive
We also looked great at halftime, lots of positives here
