Well, thanks to the Dolphins generous defense, we managed to make RB Adrian Peterson look like AP circa 2014. Peterson ran over and around our defense to the tune of 118 yards on 23 carries for a healthy 5.1 YPC. That’s more than half his season output. Ah, it wasn’t just the defense that smelled bad, the offense was worse. Josh Rosen looked confounded by the Redskins pass rush and wasn’t up to the task on Sunday. I have no problem with Coach Flores naming Rosen the starter and then pulling him from the game. Just because he named him the starter doesn’t mean he’s not accountable for his play. He was awful and deserved to be pulled, and for what it was worth, Fitzpatrick handled the offense better than Rosen. We all knew this season was going to be ugly but many of us thought the Dolphins had a decent shot to beat the Redskins in our house.
Now the schedule becomes difficult again with a trip north to Buffalo. Buffalo’s defense is heads and shoulders better than the Redskins so that game in Orchard Park will be even more challenging for young Josh Rosen. Hopefully our game plan has him up to speed. This past week it was RB Mark Walton who got some action and he looked pretty good doing so. Drake and Ballage both took a back seat to Walton in production as Walton lead the team with 75 yards rushing and receiving combined. Drake got more action in the 2nd half with Fitzpatrick as the short passing game was used often. I saw us using 6 OL a few times to no avail, and I also multiple TE formations. Our O-line is bad folks, and it may look worse against an aggressive Bills defense.
Hey, whaddaya know, our defense got no sacks this past week! No Taco time? Charles Harris remains sackless! Read that as you like. 🙂 I realized the most painful thing about watching the game in the stadium is you can’t change the channel on the 4 big screens. Oh how I wished that I could!
GO DOLPHINS!

Finsmob Unleashed 
Oh boy
WOW!!! Micah Hyde with a RARE play!!!
Take a knee at the 1 Micah Hyde
Piggy, Fitz played well today. If he plays like this I can deal with it
It’s more important to bring guys like a gesicki and Williams along than it is to see what Rosen has
Agree
That was a good start to drive 🤥
Ah yes back to normal
Fitz highlights!
The bengals are miserably bad too
We will both go undefeated and they will get the first pick
Except we play Bengals week 15 that will be the true tank for Tua bowl
Game was fun to watch today anyways
We only did our Key Stone Cops impersonation on a couple of plays! 😉
It was more enjoyable to watch!
So we lost again today…
Sucks that the Bengals will lose too, though.
Ouch Toba — at this point hoping your other within threes don’t hit.
Nope Giants gave it up too..
Philly wins tonight and another 5 pick ticket wins 90.00
Then won’t feel guilty about liking that play since played the BIlls D….. and not like we could win. 🙂
Texans lost. Problem is some team in their division will have to win it. Not gonna be a wildcard team though.
I damn near went off the plan today. I was once again ROOTING for our Phins to WIN!!!
We saw a LOT of promise from our players, who are NOT in on the tank. That — in and of itself — was most enjoyable to witness. Yes, today’s game was great to watch!
Best game of the year for sure.
Fumbled snap by RT, he recovered it
Ya but did he kick it backwards first? 😉
Lol. No he did not 🤡
You can’t stop Gesicki, you can only hope to contain him.
YES IT WAS, DLOX. But Miami’s second half woes continue, suggesting some players MAY not be in the best of shape. Today, we got to see how The Bearded One can still compete at a high level, which is more than I have seen so far from Rosen. Kudos to the O-Line, which actually gave Fitzy time to throw on most occasions. Mark Walton stood out, as, obviously,did Gesicki. It was good to see Wilson in there, too.
TWO or THREE wins are a distinct possibility this season.
I’m wondered if the grizzled old Harvard grad vet is just better at playing behind a broken OL. Even if not getting why they call him FitzMagic. Can keep a play going and is a gamer.
He is a grizzled vet. But it takes time to get there if you know what I mean. 😉
https://www.pro-football-reference.com/players/F/FitzRy00.htm
Correct me if I’m wrong! But I didn’t see any “bad” drops today?
That’s a pleasant change!
Am I the only one thinking we had a team play today?
Yeah we lost on the last play to the Skins, but they suck.
And so did we before then.
Let’s not be fooled. We were competitive for 1 half. Our expectations have been lowered
Really talking about what saw on the field, but part of that may the Bills are the emperor with no clothes.
I agree Stanger. I see some togetherness and teamwork developing.
They at least never gave up and yeah looked better. Last game was close too.
Be bad for Burrow.
Tank for Tua
Hurt for Herbert
Flunk for Fromm
I think Eason is better than Fromm
I HOPE ALL OF YOU NOTICED OUR #1 DRAFT PICK got EJECTED for throwing a punch ON THE VERY FIRST DEFENSIVE PLAY FOR MIAMI!! WHAT have we gotten from Charles Harris and Christian Wilkens lately?? WHEN will we get “someone better doin’ the pickin’??? I’ve seen quite enough of young Mr. Grier. MY HOPE is someone else is doin the pickin’ next March!!!
Wilkins has played 5 games in his NFL career. Really?
He has played 5 games because I have yet to notice him
Check out my post at 2:27 pm. Always wanted to do that to you. 🙂
It was a stupid play by Wilkins but he can play. You don’t evaluate him on that. Grier will be the GM and Flores will be the HC in 2020. Harris on the other hand is a bust and won’t be here long. That bums me out because he’s a good dude, works hard but he just isn’t good enough.
Piggy, it you are around, will be in NYC next Friday through following Tuesday. Maybe meet for Monday Night game? Staying near Times Square,
If I’m not mistaking, Mike Gesicki was targeted more today than any other game in his young NFL career. NOW you out-of-staters (out of state from Pennsylvania, that is) finally saw what Gesicki is capable of doing when Ryan Tannehill and Adam Gase aren’t trying to play ‘keep away’ from Gesicki.
Tannehill had never known what a TE was prior to this year in Tennessee (yes, I AM rooting for his success!), and Gase thought TEs were only used to block… SMMFH.
This is ever more proof that our FO and Coaching hires hadn’t been on the same page, for YEARS.
And how about that… my man DeVante is emerging, the young buck UDFA Preston Williams is emerging (ballin’!), and most obviously, my guy Mike Gesicki is emerging (never dropped a pass all of last year!). But despite what is possibly the worst O-Line in the NFL right now… Ryan Fitzpatrick sucks, right? YOU FOOLS!!!
Get the O-Line fixed, then we won’t have to have a savvy vet like Fitzpatrick (who runs hot and cold) show to us the talent we already HAVE in-house! Fitzpatrick has been a BLESSING to us!!!
After today’s game, my positive thoughts on GM Chris Grier have been reinforced… and I absolutely retract my frustrated statement I’d made a few weeks ago about him (Mike E should remember… I was merely blowing off steam, admittedly even then).
Methinks we’re a franchise QB, a few O-Linemen, a ferocious pass-rusher, and a steady CB opposite Xavien away from being a REAL and perennial contender away.
Know what else I think? We can DO IT in the 2020 Draft… and then we come back in the 2021 Draft with two more 1st rounders!
Today reinforced my faith in our beloved franchise… we played VERY well against a VERY formidable team in the Bills. The future is looking BRIGHT!!! 🙂
If you thinks “we’re a franchise QB, a few O-Linemen, a ferocious pass-rusher, and a steady CB opposite Xavien away” — you sure are gonna enjoy the off season. BTWN the draft and the cap room we will have twice that.
I thought the Oline did well today. Not great but serviceable.
We had a little bit of fun today and still kept nice draft status. 😉
Honestly, I was rather surprised by how well our O-Line did today. BUT, remember who the QB was today. Had that been Josh Rosen, I’m willing to bet he’d taken 5+ sacks. Just being real.
Let’s be REAL: Ryan Fitzpatrick has pocket awareness like NOBODY’S business. He is INCREDIBLE in that regard. I was actually in AWE watching him in the pocket today. That dude is MAGNIFICENT GREAT in the pocket… despite his questionable throws.
WE NEED O-LINE HELP, without a Ryan Fitzpatrick!!!
Fitz is in his 15th season at 36 and Rosen in his 2nd at 22. Rosen has been on the worst team in the league his first two years in the NFL. Reality check.
Chase Young could be the #1 pick in 2020.
Indeed! He’s certainly in that conversation, to be sure… and it wouldn’t surprise me to see him go R1P1.
I’m not sure what your point is, but I’m like, well YEAH!!! 🙂
I’d be OK with that pick 👍
My point is everyone forces QBs down your throat even if they’re not the BPA.
M: Cordarelle Patterson with another KR TD
Thank God he’s no longer a Patsie*!!!
Thank you for the update, SIR!
👍

————–
ABSOLUTELY correct, sir!
And for Ryan Fitzpatrick, he never developed DCS* (David Carr Syndrome). Why? Because every team he’d played for as a young buck understood the elementary importance of developing a young QB with good habits. How to do that? Make sure the young buck QB is playing behind an adequate O-Line.
Hey… there are a LOT of Bill Parcells haters on this board… and I’m *sometimes* one of them. But there’s ONE THING I’ll NEVER begrudge Parcells for… and that was to take Jake Long @ R1P1 over Matt Ryan. WHY? Had we drafted Matt Ryan behind our then horrific O-Line, Matt Ryan would have become gun-shy and develop… say it with me… DCS*.
In short, a young QB can’t develop pocket-presence behind a sieve O-Line (see Ryan Tannehill). PROTECT THE ROOK QB, by all means. That way, he can develop positive traits as his career unfolds. Ryan Fitzpatrick is a great example of as much.
Going to Jinx him but , FOX ran a stat on screen today that Russel Wilson has not thrown an INT in over 200 consecutive GAMES
LOL, except for that SB game. 🙂
Yeah eh ?? WTF FOX fake news 🤔🤫
I am pretty sure he meant attempts
Bad time to put that Jinx in. Herd is beating Mike E and Wilson is her QB. 🙂
DOH
So none this year , none last year 7 year prior… I thought I had read wrong , so I rewound .. 100% what FOX showed was over 200 Games
That is a misprint. They meant attempts. Wilson has not played 200 games in his career. He would need 13 years to accomplish that and yes he has thrown ints in including last year
Sorry disregard that post.. I will admit that TV did not have volume on ..
RT with a DART TD pass between defenders << that one I saw with my own eyes 🙃
Oh wow…didn’t know Wilkins was a bust now bc he got thrown out of his 6th nfl game…
Lmao, exactly!

And here’s another take from me…
Perhaps we’re trying to protect our investment in Josh Rosen, so as not for him to develop negative traits… or even allowing him to get permanently maimed behind our very, very lackluster O-Line this year.
Or, having him watch film of what a VET does in certain circumstances and Learn to grow from that
^^^
BOOM!!!
+100000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
Count me in as one of the Parcells haters on the board. I despise what that lazy fat fuck did while here in Miami
Only +10000, lol
LOL. I feel so short changed, just like I felt when Parcells was here . . .
CUMULATIVELY speaking, I, too, am a Parcells hater, Bro.
He wanted to have his cake and eat it too, at his last dance (here in Miami). He ultimately SCREWED us, Bro.
I’m with you, Mike E.
Piggi, in my bet OD, post for you at 4:42pm
Best not bet
Man… it’s doesn’t take much to get way off topic. LOL
RIGHT?!! LOL
LMAO .. fuck you Stanger… Wilson Pick 6
Don’t those words get you the firing squad in nice as nice Canada, or have we just worn off on you? 🙂
1st in 221 attempts
Parcells was a great head coach, not so much a czar. But there is more to the story than that. I don’t feel like going on and on about it though. LOL
And I can NOT disagree with ya here, Tim.
HC Parcells > Czar Parcells
Tim,
Here’s what I can tell ya…
I REALLY liked what I saw from our team today! I saw legit FIGHT, I saw our receivers (DeVante, Preston, and Gesicki) showing what they’ve got, and I saw a cheese O-Line of ours actually rise to the occasion (again, thanks in part to Ryan Fitzpatrick).
Now keep in mind that we were without playmakers Xavien and Reshad today… but our Defense could have been FAR worse.
Man, it was actually FUN to root for our Phins today!!! I NOW see a future beyond our 0-6 record, for the first time this year, bud. 🙂
^
Bosa starting to eat RT s Lunch
That dude playing QB for the Titans looks like RT. He even holds onto the ball too long and takes sacks just like him 😆
LMAO!!!
But still, I’m rooting for that cat!
I am as well 👍
You’re a good dude… er, dog, my friend! PROPS!!!
No question Parcells was a fantastic HC. On the other hand, he did a major money grab and half assed his way through a shitty reign here in Miami as the guy in charge of everything. For that, and that alone I hate him. I don’t care what he did before he got here, I only care about what he did here, and it was awful.
PREACH!!!
Yessir, that’s EXACTLY how I feel as well about the so-called “Big Tuna”, as it pertains to OUR once great franchise.
I’m WITH ya, man!
I blame Steve Ross
I do too, even thought the great Wayne Huizenga handed Parcells the reins to the franchise to do as he saw fit.
Nope, it is all Steve Ross’ fault, he is the only owner to fail.
We are seeing improvement. That’s all I’m really hoping for. If we can just keep seeing a little improvement from week to week, I’ll take it this season. We need to draft some horses before we can compete.
***
Fitz is who he is. He knows how to avoid sack situations. He’s not the long term guy, so it’s more important how he’s helping to develop young guys on the team. Rosen will get another shot sooner or later. Hopefully he’s learning and getting better with Fitz’s help.
We had a dog in the fight today. And with you on Fitz. He has a free wheeling style that works well with a bad O-Line. Seems broken plays are when he thrives. Which is great but also hard to build a team around even if he was younger.
How trivial… to actually attack a fellow Phin fan (and perennial season ticket holder!) in my man MR. CAMPBELL.
Look… it’s OKAY to have differing opinions, y’all. It’s OKAY to think outside of the box, and maybe look foolish to others. It’s OKAY to express, IYO, what ya think. It’s OKAY to wear your heart on your sleeve, so as to say your thoughts on our beloved franchise.
No need to worry about OD. He knows very well what he does and is quite capable of sticking up for himself. You know have been to many many games with him I hope. Some day hoping to sit next to you at one. Any game any season just let me know and will make it happen. Fest would be best, but fine if another game too.
I consider you to be a very good man, MR. Stanger. However, I do NOT CARE for the way our guy MR. Randy Campbell is treated by the trolls on this board, sir.
I’m ALL about respect, even when disagreeing. I always give it, and I expect it in return… and then a mofo wants to be a troll.
Yessir, there are some bloody TROLLS on this board… and we both know it.
At any rate, MUCH LOVE to both you and Mr. Randy Campbell.
I live and will die by RESPECT. I GIVE a lot of it, and I’m not going to take a cold diss in return… just because someone doesn’t like my political views (which I’ve essentially cut out of this board… notice! 🙂 )
LIVE to GIVE, and GIVE to LIVE. I don’t have time for the haters, my man, MR. Stanger. I LUV YA, my friend!
Trolls? Really? Someone needs to get a grip, there is nobody on here who is a better fan than others, including “fake” people who call everyone their “brotha”. Everyone on here has their own story as a fan.
OD – is my real world friend. And a step beyond an every Fest one. Maybe you know more, but my take is don’t worry about it. And that is cause respect the man more than a bit. I don’t need anyone to stick up for me and neither does he.
And LUV you too man.
It must be stand on your soapbox hour
Climbs up box. Ok, now about starting Fitzmagic as a long term franchise QB we need to….guys, hear me out!
😉 jk
Personally I would be happy if we played musical QBs all season
But I want to see our young players develop and we need first downs in order for them to get opportunities
Fitzpatrick is moving the ball lately
Agreed. I don;t think Parker is worth a long-term contract but Fitz let’s us at least answer question like that this year.
Bookman
I don’t know if you saw it, but we can watch MNF at slatterys, it’s not far from Times Square
Just text me when you are in nyc next weekend and we can arrange to meet for the game
FYI – you can’t bring the jug to slatterys…lol
Will do! I will text you over the weekend to confirm
GEEZ!!!
Did anybody just see how long Teddy had to pass?!! ALL DAY!!!
THAT’S what an O-Line can do for you!!!
Highlighted? My man Terron Armstrong at LT.

DO NOT EVER ENGAGE ME on a thread. I thought we both made it clear long ago, you to me first. I didn’t even mention your name.
Passive aggressive as you are, you were referring to me BROTHA. Get a life my man!
And you should get a life too. Two Fests in a row you missed. 🙂
So if not Bookman who were you talking about?
Hey, everybody! Duck and hide! Bookman is trying to throw some shade my way! And like Twisted Sister, I’m not going to take it!
And WITHOUT even mentioning a name, the troll has self-identified itself.
This is YOU, Adam Schiff! 😉
LOL 😀
Stanger , I was at the Fest in 2018. When was MF13 there again?
Stanger , I was at the Fest in 2018. When was MF13 there again?
Were you there last year? My bad — thought was year before. And if you know nothing else it was that was not hitting on you. And if you want to go to Fest attendance been to every one. Just me, Son and Pig at this point…… sorry…. and Son’s lovely wife.
And did you miss the smiley face? 🙂
Never
And you were also posting on this blog since it’s inception when others were bashing it from another blog
Most of us really enjoy your contributions to the blog
So don’t take anything he says seriously – he’s alone on that island
Well now !!
Book man was also THE MAN for the Tundra Fest last November 😊
Stranger, Bookman brought his friend with the Detroit jersey to the Lions fest. Maybe that jogs your memory
Wasn’t all that worried about main point was to tell him to get his assss to the next one. Sorta my thing…
Play nice Kids 🤔
I was traveling this morning so I’m not sure everyone got the message? 😉
And in case you missed it earlier 🤡 Go Expos
The Expos are going to the show!
(section 215) 😉
Bookman is a cool dude that I’ve actually met. I don’t understand why he’s being labeled a troll over a funny comment.🐕
Because the person calling him that is a dick and always throws rocks at people then scurries away like a coward
I saw a flying pig on a banana at the beach last weekend and thought of you. 😎👍
Lol
Cmon guys let it go .. all of ya
Right with you. But reminds me how calm things are these days too. Remember back before it became gentrified?
Stop pulling out those $10.00 words.. 😊
LOL — wasn’t a college prof, but did teach law school. 🙂
Well you throw like a girl !!!!!! 😎
And you lift yer leg when ya pee 🐕
And I always do it Doggy Style 🐕👉👌
Are you calling Annette a Bitch ? Or do you do it intraspecies ? 🤡🤡
That is one thing you can never call her. It’s just as bad as the C word to her and I don’t mean Canadian. She has serious knife skills and will Leraina Bobbit when you least expect it. Take it from a neutered dog. 🐕 Your in trouble mister. I’m telling!!! 😆
Today was another step in the right direction.. they showed fight right to the end
We didn’t look great today
But we didn’t look puke worthy either
Getting better each week is part of the process
Dilly
Not yet worthy of the 2nd Dilly
By the end of the season we should be double digit dilly
Alright, I realize that I can be a VERY big dickhead at times. I never engage in attack, I only defend. With that stated, I realize I can offend without it being my intention, and I KNOW I can do better. For that, I sincerely apologize.
Methinks the beef between Mr. Bookman and me materializes from some political opinions I’ve posted in the past. Yet as I remember (man, I’ve got a GOOD and LONG memory! Ask nearly anybody here!), he took a personal pot-shot at me for posting stats about our Phins… and he cussed me out BIG TIME for as much, while taking a very personal jab at me. NOT COOL.
We can have differing opinions, and it’s ALL GOOD! For the love of Mother Earth in the many years after we all die, that’s ALWAYS, ALWAYS been my mantra… thus, I will never attack. I’m the one who was the ‘greeter’ (like a Wal-Mart greeter), encouraging each and every one of y’all to keep posting on Omar’s blog! I RESPECT the RESPECTFUL, and there was ZERO disrespect tolerated under the likes of my dude Chris Tiedje.
I’d very MUCH like to bury hatchets with you, Bookman. Maybe I’ve been in the wrong, maybe you’ve been in the wrong… does it really matter, though? I seek peace, because THAT is who I am, sir.
What say you, my friend? Yes… I just called you my friend… because that’s how we once knew one another… as FRIENDS! I’d very much like to return to our friendship, rather than spatting at one another like something stupid. I’m pretty sure that everybody looks at us like we’re bloody fools.
Forgive me for my indiscretions, Bookman.
Bookman is one of the nicest guys you could ever ask to meet. Maybe a sarcastic tinge at times, but that about it. Back to we would love to meet you man. Fest is just fun and love. And as much as you have been part of the crew….. would be great for you to meet everyone face to face. Think almost all the regulars have.
wyoming and BBM also on the most wanted list.
I don’t doubt you about Bookman! He and I used to follow one another on Twitter. I think he’s a decent dude, for sure. I hope we can reconcile.
He’s just a really good guy. Which means yes you can reconcile.
Hug it out ! Hug it out !
You’d swear I’m some kind of villain, according to some. Yes… I’d rather ‘hug it out’, because THAT is who I AM.
He’s got an injury history
But that said, he’s an all pro RT
Good for him
Owning his mistake

The boy said he was buying tickets to a game in Miami next year for my Birthday!
Planning to make the Fest.
That’s awesome
Awesome. All the reports about it being a real fun time were not a scam to get you to show up. 🙂
That would be awesome !!! We will see you next fest. You posted it so we have record of it and if you don’t show up we have 2 Lawyers that will hold you accountable. 🐕🥃🥃
You can’t get blood out of a turnip! 😉
Excellent 👍
Doggie LOL at 8:01.. FTR i did not call her one .. 🤡
I’m still telling on you and she’s going to sock you in the eye at the least. Wait until you go through security next year.. Full cavity search with deep penetration 🤜👌🙀
Cool !! Can’t wait 🤪
Wyo.. I will play rhinestone cowboy just for you. 🐕🎸🎼🎼🥃🥃🥃🥃 As long as I don’t drink as much whiskey as I did last week. 😆 I’m still feeling the ramifications of that night. 😁
That was a horrid movie!
Please don’t bring back memories of Stalone in a western!
You may need to stand up to play that one 😆
Right ?
It was a fun night even if vertical was optional
Gravity was extra strong at Hollywood Beach because of the king tides. 😁
WTF???????????????????????

Tannehill with a 120 QBR today
He did a good job. Wish nothing but the best for him in his career.
Me too
I will be at the Fest next year!

Awesome !! I will take a dip in your mug if it gets too hot 👍
I didn’t mean that in a gay way I was just referring to your 20 gallon mug you tote around. 🤓
Not that there’s anything wrong with that
There we go. At the tailgate just bring a Marble Rye.
Lol
I think the important thing we’re starting to see in the last few weeks is there are some nice pieces that we will be part of the future. I also think it’s positive that this coaching staff goes into a knife fight wielding a broken condom & have been a competitive pain in the ass for the opposition. Looking forward to seeing them with a true roster.
I really like this game and what I saw. Team fights and some of the schemes looked OK. They are evaluating the roster and we are evaluating what Flores and crew put in place.
You’re starting to see the keepers and foundation building blocks.
Exactly how I feel Dbolt
SBJ…You fucker need to learn to be more loving and forgiving…like me! 1 luv!
LOL @ Ireland being included at how the Saints are built. So now it’s GM, HC and the Assistant General Manager/College Scouting Director. LOL
Miami played better than i expected @buffalo, Mark Walton looked great no wonder he’s the starting tailback
lot of good young players on this team that we got for nothing, walton williams charlton even webb was playing decent yesterday. once we hit fa, then the draft this team will get its identity
