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!

I suspect that ultimately, my brother and I will be making mainstream music together one day. LOVE this one, right here…
Hey KRISHNA, were are you, bud? I hope you’re enjoying some of the music we’re sharing with one another tonight.
Hopefully he’s enjoying some peace, fun and laughing somewhere. 🙂
AMEN!
and I spelled “where” wrong. DOH!
I’ve gotta run. PROPS to everybody here for sharing wonderful music! I’ll leave y’all with this one… a wonderful, wonderful song, IMO!
Before I crash out song👍
LMFAO!!! 😆 😆
LMFAO!!!!!!!!!!!!
Darling Nikki by Foo Fighters is best ever Prince cover

Our anniversary is two weeks to the day from yesterday, Friday. It was also 9 weeks to the day I pulled the plug. I struggled all day.
I am so very grateful for all of the efforts and dedications. I believed I have listened to all of it and last night’s this morning. Thanks again.
Glad there is something that we can do that helps!
Krishna — never been through, but my best advice is to stop marking the dates. Least how long before they come up or past.
Hey Krishna – good to see you on, and glad the boys can keep you entertained here. My best to you pal, I hope you can find happiness in whatever you do
Jalen Hurts… WOW, he’s certainly making a case to be taken early in the 2020 Draft. But as I stated nearly a month ago, I need to see him against greater competition. His stats look very, very sexy… but he’s got to do it against top-level teams. We shall see in the near future, but he’s undoubtedly one helluva talent. He can pass and he can run.
Geez, these guys on Fox are stating nearly everything I’m stating… even going so far as to use the word “sexy” regarding his stats! LOL
A writer from the New Yorker tried to turn the game against the Skins into an epic by Homer replete with “to tank or not”. Worth a read. Just a sample:
————–
“The discomfort of all this is not, I suspect, lost on the Dolphins’s first-year coach, Brian Flores. Standing on the sidelines with a desolate, faraway gaze, he has the look of a man attending a junk-ship regatta on the banks of the Styx. Flores has made it clear that he is not trying to lose, and there is no reason to doubt him. The essence of the tank lies not in throwing games, but in fielding a team that makes losing a foregone conclusion.”
The Miami Dolphins and the Art of Losing to “Win”
https://www.newyorker.com/culture/cultural-comment/the-miami-dolphins-and-the-art-of-losing-to-win
Without even clicking on the link (just reading the quote ya posted), I can tell that the writer UNDERSTANDS what I’ve been stating over the last couple of weeks.
And really, it’s not that difficult to understand.
If you think that worth clicking on the link. Really interestingly written. Like a college prof looking at the game we all saw last Sunday.
I was on the Hurts train early, but I’ve stepped off onto the platform to consider. I can’t decide if this years success is a product of Lincoln’s system, which has put out two questionable (in my mind) QB. His numbers at Alabama were pedestrian. Even last year’s 72.9 completion rate is misleading because he only threw 70 passes in 13 games. Size-wise, he is a RGIII clone. We saw how well he held up in the NFL. Just not sold on Hurts yet. Clearly my third choice.
Terrific game on ABC for potential 1st round QBs Herbert v Eason (Oregon @ Washington)
We might not land Tua
Might not. Seen at least two mocks with Cincy picking ahead of Miami and taking Tua
We play Cincinnati
I’m actually not sure we are the worst team I the nfl

I’m not sure how to say this to ya, my friend. How about this… after college, I began to realize that my college profs were living in a bubble… and that’s how it generally works, across America. They really and truly don’t have any relevance nor experience in life, PERIOD… except for brain-washing ya into a certain train of thought. And today? It’s worse than ever before, regarding liberal indoctrination, and the outrageous college debt accumulated by today’s college student (profs continue to want rai$es).
These same profs SCORN those who choose SERVICE (military) over college.
Alright, I’m getting windy now like an old man. $#!t, I was actually called out for being a “grandpa” last week on Twitter by a boatload of college students!
POINT: I don’t need a gat-dam ‘professor sound-alike’ to tell me or US how to think… ESPECIALLY when it comes to the game of football. Eloquent writing does NOT equal intelligence on that which someone speaks.
As it pertains to this game of football (which we ALL LOVE!!!), I’ll give more credence to someone who KNOWS the game… rather than someone who FAKES knowing the game, via elegant words.
EXAMPLE: I trust and respect our RANDY (how goes it, buddy!) over the likes of a Peter King.
I give you my apologies in advance, Stanger… I just don’t dig the narrative of ‘prof-talk’. Some of us have already beaten it to the punch. And if ya don’t dig my analogy from a few weeks ago: “sailing a bare-boned vessel into the seas of uncertainty”, I don’t know what else to tell ya, my buddy! 🙂
But seriously, I’m not trying to be a d!ck, here. This blog is OUTSTANDING. It should do your heart good to hear others echoing that which some of us have already stated.
I really don’t get any of this. I must be the stupidest mofo on the planet.
M13 — was expressing. When he does he’s just as interesting as a college prof.
And yes I love you my Yoda. 🙂
Cool enough M13. I found the article interesting and was suggesting a read. And author agreed with stuff you have been saying over and over. Wasn’t actually written by a prof either. You didn’t want to hit on the link then you didn’t. No problem with that.
Just had some good Italian food and it reminded me of our last dinner at the Fest with some great people (The Toba and Darlene) . I miss you guys, I miss all of you. You’re all awesome man, I mean that from the heart.
SBJ
How you doing Phelon? Missed you at the Fest. No one was wasting no body (Warriors quote)…. but then OD and Rock weren’t there for the game. 🙂
🐖💨
FIRST, congrats to Herd for her Marshall football team’s last minute score last night to beat FAU 36-31. Watched the game until the 2-minute warning. Then a big rain band from tropical storm Nestor knocked DIRECTV off the air, with FAU leading 31-30. Had to call a buddy in Ohio to find out who won the game!! Things got noisy and very windy here, but no tornadoes in our immediate area. However, at least a couple of twisters touched down not too far away. One in the Kathleen sector of Lakeland (where Ray Lewis was raised) did a ton of damage to several dozen homes.
—————-
JUST MADE a special trip to get Mrs. OD her favorite Pumpkin ice cream sundae. She enjoyed it immensely!!! Tomorrow we may go wheel chair shopping because she now has great difficulty using a walker. Hopefully her surgery on Wednesday will do away with this “wheelchair” talk. But the surgeon has told us there are no guarantees with this upcoming procedure. Seeing my beloved wife in a chair is very hard for me to take.
—————
MY TAKE on tomorrow’s Miami @ Buffalo game is this. Fitzmagic is capable of making a competitive contest out of this game. But, in the end, the Bills’ defensive line will dominate Miami’s offensive line, especially in the second half. And the Bills should run wild on this day. Devan Singletary, who’s been out for a month with a hamstring issue, should get at least 6-10 carries against Miami. The man who scored 55 TOUCHDOWNS the last two years at Florida Atlantic may get another one at Ralph Wilson Stadium. I think Singletary will prove to be one of Buffalo’s most successful draft picks of 2019.
PREDICTION: BUFFALO — 38
MIAMI — 13 Bills easily cover the 17-point spread. But I hope I’m wrong.
PS: KRISHNA, Hang in there, buddy! My wife and I will be thinking about you and rooting for you! May thousands of sunrises shine upon you and brighten your life.
Always wondered why kickers don’t plan that more often …
This is a smart move

Let’s go Yankees!
The comment about putting a roster on the field that can’t win games is how you tank is the biggest duh!!!! That’s the byproduct of stripping down a roster during a rebuild. You’re no longer a good team. That’s why the constant use of the tank word is silly.
It’s a long article and a lot of it about tanking with details. But guess I’m the only one on the board who will ever read it. 🙂
One plus from there from the author is that he thinks we planned on being bad but the Skins stumbled into it. With some bad words for Snyder too, which always warms my heart.
I just don’t feel like reading it at least not right now. I agree with the last paragraph and I’ve said that here. We had a plan to do this, other teams are having very disappointing seasons.
LMAO….smart move.
Stanger – All good here. Missed being at the fest.
Always next year….. and always a good time.
YS: –I’m REALLY LOOKING forward to it, too! HOPE Mrs. OD can be there, too!
Mike E : ya making me blush dude…🥴
It WAS a lotta fun spending time with everyone last weekend
Trying reverse Psychology this week Buffalo 27-Miami 13
OD .. hoping your wife a successful operation and pain free future
Same here.
When you are the GM of the Yankees and you are in the ALCS
Bring a hooker
Our entire team is basically auditioning for the future. Who fits and who doesn’t. Mark Walton helped himself last week. Vince Biegel is flashing as an edge guy. He’s a player Graham knew about from GB.
test
Well that worked. My computer at work is not letting me post for some reason. I need to call Hillary and have her smash it for me.
Or just have Tulsi tweet her for me.
did Hillary smash Your last computer? just dont let her in when she knocks, lol
Tua leaves game with ankle roll up injury
I wasn’t overly impressed with him before that.
Okay , I thought was just me …. good to know
yea, he didnt look good at all, he went 11 for 12 in that game before the injury,
thats only a lousy ass 91 percent completion ratio, SMH
Both Bama and LSU looked like other players made both QBs stats look better than they would/should have been .. yes I get it is a team sport.. neither QB seemed overly responsible for the lopsided scores…
Astros win … congrats WYO
Too bad Piggie…
I hate the Yankees 🤫
I’m a marlins fan anyway
Buffalo 37, dead fish 0
the first pick is Tua’s to lose, he is the top player in the nation, 2020 mock draft
Miami Dolphins: Tua Tagovailoa, QB, Alabama
It’s quite obvious by now that the Dolphins are tanking. Miami acquired Josh Rosen, but that doesn’t matter. Teams have selected plenty of first-round quarterbacks after using a pick in the second frame on a signal-caller the year before. The Cardinals even established precedent for doing so with consecutive first-rounders!
The hero of the national championship against Georgia, Tua Tagovailoa has a big arm and scrambling ability, and will undoubtedly draw comparisons to Russell Wilson.
Tua is at the top of EVERY Mock draft that i can find. he is the most dominant choice of mocks number one I have ever seen
and yet every week someone here is saying he didnt look good in the saturday game. lol
even Omar doesnt hate QB this much
some of the criticism should go to OTHER players besides the top guy, jus sayin
if they are so great, why isnt their names atop the leader boards in the mocks?
last year the mocks called for Kyler Murray to go first, but many here said no way, hes not that good, etc
but NFL GMs never listen to us,,,,,
i get the sense some will be royally pissed off if Miami selects Tua. they would prefer the Fins reach down for a lessor talent
i wont be in that crowd, Id love to see him come in to town and shake things up, first pick needs to be BPA
1. Miami Dolphins: Tua Tagovailoa, QB, Alabama
Josh Rosen isn’t the long-term answer in Miami and Tagovailoa is the best quarterback in this draft. So this is a no-brainer. Tua is an incredibly accurate passer, can hit receivers in stride all over the field, moves well in the pocket and has adequate arm strength. He’s a gamer who does what it takes to win and leads from the front. This would be a franchise-changing pick for Miami. Something the franchise desperately needs at this point.

IT’S GAME DAY BITCHES!!
Go Dolphins
Game Day means about 1/1000 of what it should mean for me this season. It just means I need to check my FF rosters, which also suck this year. lol
I have a bunch of good friends that are Yankees fans, yet still I fucking hate the Yankees. This started a long time ago with my then best friend Randy who was a Yankees fan and always gave me shit about how bad the Mets were and then of course how great the Yankees were in the late 70’s. Then sports radio became popular and it’s clear that far too many Yankees are assholes, at least the ones that called into the radio station.
Congrats to Wyo and the Astros, happy they won so I don’t have to listen to all those asshole Yankees fans on the radios much longer.
Toba – Sorry man, didn’t mean to get you all embarrassed. lol
I’m in a bad way this week because of BYE’s and injuries. Who would you play today between Preston Williams or Mark Walton?
Williams
Neither one is a solid play but I’m in roster hell right now. Gotta hope he has a big day. Once the Kenyan Drake situation shakes out and he gets traded, Walton will have more value going forward.
The best player isn’t necessarily at the top of all draft boards, just the player that fits the team that they think will be choosing #1. Kyler Murray and the Cards is a perfect example.
MANITOBA AND TIM; Thanks for your best wishes regarding my wife.
Wednesday can’t get here fast enough.
————————–
EVEN I wasn’t around when the Washington Senators won their last World Series in 1924. The winning pitcher was none other than The Big Train, himself, Walter Johnson, who won a mind boggling 417 major league games!!! Johnson NEVER pitched batters inside, never “dusted them off,” for fear of hitting them with a fastball that old-timers claim may have exceeded 95 MPH. So while I like a lot of players on the Astros, I may be rooting for the franchise that hasn’t won a World Series in 95 YEARS!!!
————————-
For our first 10 years back in Florida, local station WTSP has always carried Dolphins’ games on Sundays. But,recently, the CBS affiliate announced they no longer would televise them because of extremely low TV ratings. Today, instead, they’ll show the Packers game at 1:00 PM. Guess Tampa Bay Dolfans aren’t interested in TANKING.

JON: YOU are too late.
ROSS bought them all up!!
Is there ANYTHING he won’t do to make a buck?
Seems if he wanted to make money off them would be selling in the team store instead of buying them up. 🙂
THE TEAM STORE currently is not open. The internet is. 24/7/365. But you knew I was JK, right?
GET ME THE ROSS IN SCUBA GEAR T-SHIRT, XXL, with the caption —
“WHO SAYS I’M TANKING??”
Of course new was a joke….. was just doing the same back within what you set up.
Available in other colors as well.
Where’s the one with ROSS in scuba gear???
And you thought you had it rough
No Jones and no Howard.
Can someone post a link to a site to watch the game please
Thanks

You will have some adds pop up but not as many as other sites.
Thanks
Game day bitches…ah what does it matter
What’s going on with FF? I just sign in and my team is changed?
Kind of like the Dolphins
Herd — sometimes Toba has been known to play mother hen on things like a bye week player being played. Think he did for me while was on vacation. Obviously you can set up exactly as you want.
Well, no, I can’t. I was going to make changes but I’m not sure these are the changes I would have made or the players I would have gotten. I’ve been out of town this weekend, cut off from the internet and cell phones, but I knew I was getting home around noon, I was going to take care of it.
Despite the results, I have been managing my team, I’m not just letting it go so not sure why that was necessary with my team. I’ve seen it go for weeks with others and there’s IA players, bye week players…and no changes are made. I’ve just been away a few days and was going to be last minute making changes…..but I was going to be doing it.
The one thing am sure of is that Toba was only trying to help. Have no idea what your line-up looked like before but do see all those bye week players on the bench and that seems he moved at 12:47. And have no doubt in the world you were going to change up. Like said, he’s done the same for me.
Game time. Go Phins!!!
Herd : yes it was me .. as Stanger said I try to look in just prior to KO to see if anyone was sleeping late .. are ya okay with what was done or ya want me to un do something ?
I also had to change Pigs team as well.. although I missed the Thursday inactive he had in 🥴
Mike E : also playing Preston on a couple teams on a hunch .. I recall Fitz and he had some chemistry

Wilkins ejected already wow
No we know why McMillan doesn’t play on passing downs
Manitoba:
I’ve been gone a few days, I knew I was getting back in time to make changes to my team. Too late now, Games have started, Like I said above, I’ve seen it go weeks with other people obviously not managing their team and nothing happens. I’m late making changes this one week and sign in and I have no clue what’s going on.
Apologies i try to catch any just prior to kickoff but admit I’m not perfect at it .. especially last week needless to say .. I do know you are diligent in managing your roster, and appreciate it , which is why I was attempting to assist.. I just noticed Dudley was on IR and your other 2 TE were on byes as well as a WR with none on bench.. I replaced IR with best available TE in my eyes , and dropped your least productive other player to get a WR ..
I will usually only change inactives with a teams bench players but there were no replacement available .. again apologies if you feel I overstepped
Day of the flag lol
Nice stop, great effort
Are they playing at Heinz field bc all I see is ketchup bottles on the field
Let’s go Colts
Nice run by Walton. Too bad it was on 2nd down…..
Walton is fun to watch, really like the power back type who just abuses his way through but the small quick guys are fun
Not kidding, is Rosen injured? Why is Fitz starting?
LOL
Does it really matter who is starting. They both suck
i need a link that works
K now I really feel bad .. wr i added to Herds team just hurt his hammy and may not return 🥴
LOL — it was the right add, but man when saw that was thinking Toba is not liking that at all.
Manitoba, not going to keep on about this, I know you had good intentions and I can see why you might have done this if it’s a team that is obviously not being managed, or you know someone is away or whatever….but that hasn’t been the case with me as far as I know.
Mike E
Really believe it comes down to Rosen reading the D
Sucks but the o appears a little more fluid with Fitz in there
Williams gets deep
Nice catch !
Walton with another big run
He looks really good
And with a third and one coming up after this play???? DId he really fucking say that?

That kid better mind his P & Q’s because I’m thinking about buying his jersey. #18
Not saying all pro — but Williams and Parker are two legit receivers. And one comes with a UDFA contract and no injury history.
I don’t care how bad Rosen is, let him learn on the field. Try to increase his value, or see if he’s even a viable backup.
maybe they are trying to maintain his value by hiding his flaws?
What do you think his value is right now? I think it’s pretty low right now.
TD Fins !!and now we have the lead .. woot woot
woot woot we have a lead!
🎶🎶🎶Miami Dolphins Miami Dolphins Miami Dolphins Number 1🎶🎶🎶
🎶🎶🎶er….32🎶🎶
2nd Q and a lead. Also seems when want to bang it in time for Ballage.
So that is what a lead looks like
Nice !
We have a lead
So far my 3-2 prediction is the closest
Take that David!
That was a very nice looking drive. Fitz is the better QB and we look far better today than any game to this point.
Lets go Indy! come on Cincy!

Thanks I finally got it working. That’s the one I used.
Our defense is horrible.
Our team is horrible. TIFI
Too true. Lots of work next off-season.
We are 17 point dogs (no offense to the guitar playing one). Hard to complain too much at this point.
WOOT WOOT PARKER
Parker
And when you say Miami🎶🎶🎶
Another really good drive. Penalty was BS but the playcalls have been on point.
Everyone needs to realize that is going to be called every time.
We do…and it’s still BS.
Nice drive
Announcer just said Parker is on the trade block. Guess his value just moved up.
ok, enough of hat
