QB Ryan Fitzpatrick played his best game of the season for the Dolphins. It wasn’t enough however due partly to his own huge mistake, a terrible INT at a point of the game where the Dolphins had the ball for about 10 minutes on a long drive to start the 3rd QTR and Fitzpatrick threw a crucial interception at the BUF 12 yard line. The Dolphins had an opportunity at a minimum to go up 17-9 with a FG, but the Dolphins wanted the TD, much like the decision to try for the 2 PT conversion last week. Good idea, poor execution.
It’s clear that Mark Walton has now emerged as the lead back as Kenyan Drake is expected to be traded before the deadline. That would leave the Dolphins with Walton, Ballage, Gaskin, Laird and Cox. I wouldn’t expect a big return for Drake, probably a 5th or 6th at best. DeVante Parker had a nice game, one of his best contributions in some time, and it wasn’t even really that good. Parker finished with 5 catches for 55 yards and 1 TD. Gesicki is really heating up making tough catches almost routinely now. Gesicki added 4 catches for 41 yards, a couple of them in serious traffic with a high degree of difficulty. Also very encouraging is WR Preston Williams who continues to grow before our eyes. Is he not doing what we hoped DeVante Parker could be? Williams finished with 6 catches for 82 yards leading the team in both categories.
The Dolphins won the T.O.P. battle in this game but still ended up on the short side on the scoreboard. As per usghe, we need to score more TD’s. We have had a devil of a time getting into the end zone, which is odd considering we have a fairly strong runner in Walton, 2 WR with good size (P. Williams 6’5″ and D. Parker 6’3″) and a TE with a huge catch radius and great vertical capabilities in Mike Gesicki. Hopefully we will figure out a way to use all of them.
The Dolphins managed to get 2 sacks yesterday and to no one’s surprise, it was newcomers, LB Vince Biegel got his 2nd and Taco Charlton added his team leading 3rd sack. Once again, Charles Harris remains sackless and once again you can read that as you like. It’s amazing we don’t get torched with the guys we have been playing in our secondary. Ken Webster, Ryan Lewis, Jomal Wiltz. Bobby McCain and Eric Rowe started at S yesterday. I mean who are some of these guys?
It’s impossible not to respect for Brian Flores. He’s doing this with smoke and mirrors. I know we haven’t won yet but it’s hard to expect him to win with the roster we’re throwing out there week after week. The Bills are a legit contender in the AFC for at a minimum a WC berth, but their defense is one of the better units in the NFL and we handled them in this game. The score doesn’t show it but the T.O.P. does. If not for that ill timed INT late in the 3rd QTR we had a shot to win this game. I think that was the turning point right there. Last week we took the game to the very end although we played so poorly in that game. This week we played head to head with the Bills but came up short. We’re heading in the right direction, and have to take comfort in that. At 0-6, it’s all we got.
GO DOLPHINS!!

Finsmob Unleashed 
He was out of bounds – too bad
We are definitely the better team so far. Impressive turn around the last few weeks.
hey, there is a female zebra on the field
I sooooo want to play on the bra part of Zebra 🤪
Sam Darnold has been seeing ghosts… whereas I think Mason Rudolph still sees Pearl Thomas.
I think the throwback uniforms are helping tonight.
Nice
what is the team I am watching?
He’s gunning it tonight now
BAM williams
Walton is a violent runner. I like it.
Woooooooo
Pin ball TD Love it
Here in LV we say wooooo!
Saying it in WV too!
Looks like in Canada too. Went to the VGK game last night. Nothing better than exiting after a win with fans yelling out woooooo!
BOOM
Nice assist by Walton too
Eat that Steve Young!
Go Fuck Yourself!
LOL, what did he say?
Exactly
DAYUM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
SWEEEEEETTTT!!!!
Minkah!! Make that difference!! Steelers going all the way with you!
I like the NE O, quick passing game, but using big possession receivers.
They’re all still learning but I like what O’Shea is doing and how the team plays hard. They’re not playing to lose.
I’ve gotta ask: where are all the Ryan Fitzpatrick haters now?!! LOL 😀
Rewind to our first possession 🤡
LOL
Lmao

NICE!!! I’ve been saying “wooooooo!” here for years, and thought maybe y’all thought I was strange! 😀
M – Never hated Fitzpatrick, on the other hand, if I had the choice between Rosen and Fitz it would be Rosen. They bailed on Rosen pretty quickly. Since we’re all about the future it makes more sense to see if Rosen is part of it or not. In any case, I’m freaking enjoying this game!
Dilly dilly <<< one for each TD
I think it’s more about Fitz’s experience helping the entire offense and team, not just the young QB in Rosen.
I agree with you 100%, Mike E… I truly DO.
And me TOO!!! I’m bloody LOVING this game!!!
Cheers, Bro!!!
“Atomic Dog” on the commercial!!!
At slatterys watching the game with booker
We both keep trying to guess who is on the field
Serious…who are these guys?
That’s cool. Give him my best.
I have to keep a page open with the roster.
Pre game Steve Young went off on us saying what the organization is doing is putting players at risk. Hes a typical idiot. I bet he hasn’t watched more than 2 minutes of our team. Just sees the line up and says “who?”.
He was a dick too
Yeah I missed the beginning of that comment, and only heard the putting at risk part … what was he talking about ???
X almost picked that one too
M
Fitz has started games looking awful and he stays that way. His first pass tonight had me worried. LOL
That’s Fitz! He’s either ON… or he’s OFF. Thankfully, he seems to be ON tonight! 🙂
#52 is good against the run brutha
Nice work by our Taco Baker
Jenkins is making up for that bust Wilkins the DL
😜
It takes some time but Flores and Co. has this team playing with purpose.
*porpoise
True. We look pretty good tonight
You all can forget about that time I said we had no other punt returner besides GrAntman right? I was probably drunk or something. 😉
Still not thrilled with williams back there
If we win, we make our own pick worse but the one we got from the Steelers better, so there’s that!
Playing for draft picks is such a shitty way to look at this game. The work everyone puts in. It’s a media and fan driven idea, not the people coaching and playing.
don’t see much of #39
TOOOOOOMBSTONE
I saw Laird !!!
And a great punt by Haack
NEVER UNDERESTIMATE the power of the throwbacks!! Maybe HERD will get her birthday present after all!
—————-
THAT FULL -SIZED Dolphin on the helmets sure looks better than the Ross Minnow!!!
The Mandalorean?
Who is Ryan Lewis ? Nice tackle!!
Biegel is a DAWG !!!!!
They are embarrassed to be losing to the worst team in the league booooooo
Our team is a lot better at one on one open field tackling than they have been in the past few years
Seeing the benefits of a real coaching staff I hope
kind of what I was getting at. Progress in little steps. I THINK I see it……No, no, no, no, no
I won’t get fooled again.
Fire up the Still !!!
Getting some decent pressure on qb as well me likey 👍
No shut out ?! WTF
I’ve never watched a dolphin game and known so few of the names on the field
We’re progressing and playing a competitive football game. Let’s just all enjoy it! 🙂
👍👍
We need a drive right now
Can we decline the 2nd half ?? 🤔
LOL
I kind of agree with Booger. I wouldn’t mind Chase Young
Especially if we can trade outta 1 with a qb starved team
We have looked better each week. This week we look like the better team, but keep in mind the 2nd half has been treacherous for us all season long. Flores needs to learn to adjust
Damn Minka
Lmao
That was unfortunate
Fitz-to-Fitz
We have zero pass rush. It’s painful to watch.
I think we have been getting good pressure tonight
Everything is still relative though
I think Piggy will agree we need less ham
Let’s go hamless
Held his arm and turned him. Didn’t push off dumb announcers
Lol, I’m yelling the sam thing
two hands grabbing the arm and pulling down isn’t interference? If he didn’t do it X would have had another. He has had 1 pick and 3 other almost picks.
The refs are almost ruining the game. It’s really close. No one knows what PI is anymore(and that was obvious PI)
Wtf was that 🤯
WTF was that?!
LMAO
I’m not too sure about our DC.
Neeham is a player we obviously see some upside in. Yes he gets burned but he’s also physical. Guys get better.
And we called timeout to set that up
Howard? WTF
That was on the blitz not Howard. Graham got a little too blitz happy.
Now we have to play well in the 2nd half. It’s a learning process. We’re on the road and up by 4. It’s okay. LOL
Bad call on defense there. Learn from it.
Clearly offensive PI. Come on. I hate this league. They’ve dicked with the rules so much to promote offense/scoring nobody knows what’s what anymore.
Hamless
That might be the worst defensive play call of the entire year…for any team in the NFL.
I don’t mind
If we were in the afc championship I would be furious
But they went for the kill with that all our blitz
It could have went the other way
But what’s the value? We are up 11 points and riding high. Now we are just up 4 going into the second half …where we have struggled more than anyone.
If needham or Lewis (I think that’s their names) make the tackle they should have made, it’s probably not as bad a result
We are just playing to let it all hang out
It’s not strategical sound sometimes
Here comes the true test.. can we play a second half ??
I know we stripped the ball on one play, but with all the blitzing we’re doing it’s crazy that we don’t even have a sack.
We are sending 7-8 with no success against a OL that has struggled this year. Chase Young looks better every week.
It’s a funny thing. We scrutinize the game as in winning the game. Then at the same time worry about draft status. Fuckin’ pick one!!! LOL
The draft
Fuck that! If one college player is the key to your success over the next decade you already lost. I think it’s BULLSHIT!!!!
I know the names of more people in Slatterys than I know in the Dolphins secondary.
Piggy is an excellent host!
Lol
Tim – I’m not worried about draft status. I was just making a statement that even if we win it’s not bad for our draft stats. Chillax man.
^ Draft status
Pig and I were just talking about that. No nervous pressure as a fan this year because of that. Unless of course they get to 0-15……
I’m fine. I just see all this angst about everything. We’re 0-6 and playing a competitive and fun football game. What is different than what we came into this game thinking?
That bust Wilkins has 2 tackles
IMPOSSIBLE. Devin Bush has only two tackles and he has been better than Wilkins for ages………..or so I’ve heard.
Oh shit, you guys are at Slattery’s? We’ll lose 34 -14. LOL
I’m with piggy, every play it’s “who’s that guy”
At the Fest game, there were at least 2 or 3 guys I had never seen before, X was out that game.
The worst Defense in the NFL when in 3rd and long….
Me thinks,,,,,,
This guy has these guys playing this tough
Won’t take but a great offseason or two
This team could be special
Going to be a fun ride !
When I said 3-2
I meant tackles
Wilkins 3
Bush 2
you see that egregious holding!!?
I think Ross called that blitz that allowed the TD. 😉
Lol
Wiltz got beat off LOS and battled back to make the play.
Should have had Bush kick that
that’s a funny commercial Mom not picking her boy in fantasy football. LOL
Great punt!
Put one on my tab 😊🍺
Great Punt by fitz 🤔🤫
Exactly!
Is this the tanking part?
Damn
Good as a punt
Just sux who caught-it 😱
Puh-leeeeze. Minkah got 2 gift INT’s. He SUCKS! Fuck him!
They are both bs ints
Fitz-to-Fitz again? Weird!
Need a 3rd and 20? no problem
For years now … weird
Lammons has that JSS took it from him
You got Mossed
Shit
Yep
Sad trumpets
Need Good Fitz here
Lammons thought he was a ball hawk until JuJu took it back from him….SMH
