Once again, the Dolphins managed to play some good football this week. The Dolphins actually dominated the 1st QTR leading 14-0, but as has been the case, good play for this team has been difficult to sustain. Talent and depth have something to do with it, but it also could be in part to a 1st year HC not having answers and unable to make adjustments. It’s likely a combination of both.
I’m sure some media people who cover our team will be hailing Minkah Fitzpatrick as taking revenge on his former team and playing unbelievable football in doing so. If you watched the game, the first INT was a true gift, a pass thrown by Fitz to TE Nick O’Leary that bounces off his pads into the waiting hands of Minkah Fitzpatrick. Couldn’t have been any easier unless it was thrown harder and and stuck in Minkah’s facemask. The next INT was just a desperation deep throw in which Minkah had deep coverage and ran underneath it for another easy INT, a pass thrown very poorly. Otherwise, Minkah was very quiet, didn’t do anything really and I hardly noticed him on the field to be honest.
Was James Connor imitating Ryan Fitzpatrick here?
I laughed pretty good when I saw Conner walking back to his sideline for assistance to remove this large chunk of turf that got stuck in his facemask after being tackled. I woke up my wife but she also laughed once she finally listened to me that it was a funny thing to see. I needed the levity, I want our team to win, and I enjoy when we’re winning. We play the Jets who have looked heinous lately. We need guys healthy to beat the Jets. X can’t play a half and then go out with an injury leaving a defensive backfield full of Nik Needham, Ken Webster, Ryan Lewis, Chris Lammons, etc. No offense to any of these fine young players but they wouldn’t be on the field other than ST’s for just about any other NFL team.
I want to beat the Jets and damn the record! I want to see Gase tormented by us, I think he’s a cocky dude who needs a little humiliation, and we can supply just that with a win next Sunday. I want to hear audio all week after the game of Adam Gase trying to explain how they lost to us and making excuses as usual. It never seems to be his fault. Sam Darnold did better last year in his rookie season w/o Adam Gase than he is doing this season with him. The great offensive guru that he is.
Did anyone last night not enjoy Allen Hurns pinball his way into the endzone last night? Was that not sumpin? I have a feeling we’ll be trying to shake up Sam Darnold next week. If you think you saw at least 3 too many blitzes against the Steelers, there may be more next week. What scares me is Gase loves the short game and the screens, and that’s what burns a blitz. When too many guys are on the wrong side of the LOS it’s easy for a short pass to turn into a long one. I hope Patrick Graham and Brian Flores keep that in mind next week!
GO DOLPHINS!

Man some folks need to get back on their meds or get them upgraded. 😆
Thank god for the page turn
That was the best post for a page turn.
Lol
What is up FUers?
Quiet night?
Busy afternoon. 🙂
I’m sad Nick O’Leary is gone.
I really don’t think he was cut because of that one play so I’m not sure why they released him. Maybe he wasn’t doing some of the small things well enough or whatever and that was the last straw. Not sure.
It was certainly abrupt. He was playing a lot too.
Yeah it was abrupt and surprising. Stanger might be right on why.
Liked the kid. Not sure why he is gone, but my guess is about what they saw as his top-end. Kind of choices we can make while kicking tires for the future.
I suppose but why cut us so thin mid way through. Good time to really look at Smythe.
I figure all preseason now. Check out the guys who can make the team…… the 2020 team.
OMG
When’s the last time any of you heard – the itty bitty titty committee – spoken out loud?
It popped into my head today out of nowhere and I wondered how it’s been since I heard it. A long long time.
Now I know why you have a glove box full of candy 😆
Lol
20 years ago!
Dinger for ‘Stros
Ugly bunt ouch
Son, it probably is to get a better look at Smythe and maybe we see more of Cox at FB/H-back.
See more Cox
That’s my Urologist- Seymour Cox
LOL
I believe he has a cousin Peter Knobcock.
I am hungry I think I am going to get some king crab
Where does one get king crab at this time without going out?
I was referencing M13’s prior rant. I like M13 but in his own words he can be rather cryptic and I wasn’t quite sure what King Crab had to do with anything
Oh okay. LOL
I was just amazed — metaphor aside — that he got a whole king crab. Those things are gynormous. A couple legs does most folks.
Missed that the Phins cut Isaiah Ford. Thought he had something.
That was today because we got another Corner, can’t remember his name
He never really got going. This is his 3rd year and he never cracked the lineup. I guess he’s just a fringe player.
Wasn’t seeing All Pro, just that could possibly be a legit #4 or #5 wideout.
I hear ya but he seems to always be on the fringe making the PS but never getting any game action.
Okay so we add depth at TE.
I ain’t posting no more shit!
You fuckers don’t even read it! 😉
I read all of your non baseball posts if that soothes at all.
Then you know who we added?
OK I lied!
I agree with him. Dogs in the hunt. Not much talent in the hunt, but guess that comes later.
Tough but, unfortunately, not talented
We do have talent just not enough and so many guys are learning these new schemes. This team hasn’t really played much football together. We’ve had a ton of turnover. There are only 14 players on the team that were here last year and some of them have only been here a year or two or are on IR. Grier’s plan was to start over and that’s what he’s doing.
WY
It’s true I don’t read the cheerleader posts…I just ogle them
They’ve been pretty stingy this year! 😦
““It happened three hours before the trade deadline. I wish they would have, at least — if he was thinking about it — at least try to let me see if I could end up somewhere or at least see if there was interest in possibly getting traded. At that point, the way it was all handled, there wasn’t enough time to even have that happen.”
— Andy Dalton on getting benched…. and guessing where he stays
Who is going to trade for Andy Dalton?
Well if Tanny and Matt Moore are starters…..
Clive Walford is a guy I like to see given a chance
I’ll miss O’Leary
But I’m just glad our 2 draftee TEs from 2018 appear to fit the mold of what Flores wants
At least they try to throw it to them every once in a while
Ken Crawley is going to take Howard’s spot!
I wish Ford the best!
Now I’m curious. If no one ever eats the king crab butthole, maybe we are missing out. I know the liver of the lobster is really good but most people chuck it. I also wasn’t aware of there being an edible butthole on a crab either. Thing you learn on a football blog lol
It’s not worth the effort! 😉
Eating Crustacean Ass is not a topic I expected to read today
If it is freshly steamed you can honestly say that is a hot ass

Yeah, I know Tim, I was the one with the nuke Avi. We have a few young, mostly unproven lumps of clay. I HOPE (there is that dirty four letter word again) that this batch of coaches can mold that clay for a change.
I will point out a positive before I say Nogtih.
We are among the least penalized teams in the league. That is a huge step forward.
Nogtih All
Q: how do you like your ass?
A: with hot butter sauce and lemon
I’ve never seen a whole King Crab in a restaurant.
That would be pretty fly.
Would you like a salad with you entree sir
I think he is about to toss some crab salad
Looks like he is about to chow down on some crab ass.
So that where they get the crab salad meats, didn’t realize they fished it out with their tongues
Probably because you are not a boss
Count me as a non boss too. Only have had the legs but next time I’m going to as them to give me a whole one so I can be the eat the ass. I’ll tell them I wanna be a crab ass eating boss. Hope they have a souvenir bib with that embroidered on it
Sounds like you’ve missed you’ve missed out on some hot ass?
LOL, looks like I picked the wrong day to stop sniffing glue.
Looks like a bunch of us started today lol
LOL
Awesome movie reference Cav
Cheers 🙂
Holy f’ing shit MF13, that was the most unintelligible piece of cryptic bull shit I have seen since, well, your last one! Sorry, I am talking directly to you by name. I think you are fake and a grandstander who hides behind trying to be a peace maker while in fact at the same time stirring up shit. You are not a solution, you are part of the problem, but I, for one, thank you and the window licker (David) for providing comic relief.
I apologize to all that take offense to this post, other than those I intended to offend.
No quarter asked, no quarter given.
Every time I look at the photo Piggy posted it is getting funnier and funnier. I am literally sitting in bed laughing out loud. My wife thinks there is something wrong with me
😆👍
Fuck me!
Uh no
The Stros had so many chances to break this game open but kept the Nats in it. It’s not over yet but they stranded too many runners.
Nope
The boss eating a whole King Crab
But where is the souvenir bib?
Seriously with a plate of shrimp, 2 7ups and a potato?
Right?
You just proved it has been done at least, even with a whole lot of effort. But might be as simple as the whole crab that M13 did eat was dungeness or snow. Then makes sense.
Didn’t say never been done, just never seen it. Lots of things I’ve never seen.
I am getting crabby it must be past my bed time. Peace
Members only? I think what we’ve done here is allow everyone to speak to their mind. I don’t see how that equates to a members only mentality. I have no intention of policing this blog. I don’t have the time nor the inclination. No one is forced to come here, and no one pays to come here except said administrators that pay each year to keep this blog going so y’all have a place to come and bitch how bad it is. You’re welcome!!!
Preach it, Brother!
Spoken like a boss now go get some king crab
Gotta give the Nats credit. They took it to the Stros and earned their championship.
The road team won every game. Insanity.
EXPOS WON 👍
That was for Steve Rogers , and Tim Raines ,
Carry on now …
And Warren Cromarti and the Hawk

Captain America?
I just have to laugh and smh. Truth hurts and there is no mercy here….as it should be, imo. Cheers.

Thank god for the page turn
I made the mistake of going back to read what I had missed on the previous page. BIG mistake.
Quick question because everything is so cryptic and passive aggressive on here.
Am I the one responsible for turning this place into a shithole? Can I take the credit (or blame depending on you POV)?
Definitely all you. Take a victory lap!
The best reason to be happy for the Nationals winning the WS
Rock – I I think Piggy is the culprit. He is SO mean. Despotic even.
I think Mark Walton has a big game this week. Anyone else feel that way?
Jest have a pretty good rushing defense. If Walton has a good game, it bodes well for our chances.
I didn’t realize that. I figured with Mosley out they would struggle.
They were solid against the Pets without him, but the Bills are 3rd in the league against the rush, and we looked pretty good against them. If we can have a good showing against the Jest rushing D, I’d say maybe we’re starting to develop that identity a little bit on offense.
We didn’t put up great rushing numbers against the Steelers, but we kind of abandoned the run in the 2nd half and only rushed it 19 times.
Is Cole leaving the Stros?
Here, let me get that for you Phel.
Bowling?
lol
Thanks…I would have misidentified it as synchronized swimming.
lol cheers 🙂
Astros said before the series — which was weird — that they probably couldn’t afford to keep him. Could be just bargaining, but also projected that Cole gets $30 mil a year in FA.
I didn’t realize that. I just hope he doesn’t end up on Boston or the Yanks.
Seems like would be them or 3 or 4 other teams at that price tag…… says the fan of a small market team.
Another question for you knuckleheads, anyone know if/when Cordrea Tankersley is eligible to come off the PUP?
October 16, 2019 11:20 PM
Dolphins’ Cordrea Tankersley: Returns to practice field
by RotoWire Staff | RotoWire
Tankersley (knee) was designated to return off the PUP list and resumed practicing Wednesday, Joe Schad of The Palm Beach Post reports.
So I think they need to make a decision this week to release him, add him to the 53 or put him back on IR to the end of the season. (I THINK they get two weeks of practice to determine?) He was taken off PUP on the 16th two weeks ago.
Wyoming — I’m real sorry bud.
Mike, it is NEXT week, the deadline. See below
Per NFL rules, the Dolphins will have three weeks from Wednesday (Nov. 6) to make a determination on each player’s status for the rest of the 2019 season.
The Dolphins can activate either or both players; keep them on PUP for the rest of the season; or release them.
“We have some time,” Head Coach Brian Flores said. “We have a little time. It’s a good opportunity to take a look at these guys — both ‘Tank’ and Rob — and really kind of get them into a practice setting, some individuals, some team drills, some group drills. It’s been a long time for both guys since they’ve stepped on a field in a competitive environment. I never want to rush things. We’ve got some time. Look, if they look like they’re ready to go, nobody wants to see those guys out there more than I do. But at the same time, this is a hard game to play, so we’ll do what we feel is best for them individually and us as a team.”
Rob I assume was Nkemdiche? I’d like to see Tank back if he’s healthy. I would think he can be better than Ryan Lewis, Ken Webster or Nik Needham
It is not looking so good for Tank (maybe only because Flores wants to distance himself from anything to do with Tanking talk?? LOL) Nkemdiche was reactivated two days ago.
Would using Tank help or hurt the “tanking” narrative?
If we had Tank Carradine and Cordrea Tankersley on the field at the same time that would be too much
When I said it’s not looking to good for Tankersley I was only half joking. Why would they keep picking up these CB’s they have been signing if Tank was in their plans. They will have to release someone to make room for him.
Mike Carradine was cut Sept.24th He is no longer with any team. He is sitting home as a FA.
I hope Tankersley makes the team and sticks around next year so the only Tank for Tua we see is when Tankersley sacks Tua in Cincy next season.
We should hire and start anyone one with the word Tank in their name, as middle finger to the fucking media lol.
Tankersly at CB, Tank Carradine at DE, Matt Stankiwitch at OC and Tank Carder at ILB….

———————————————–
Needham is probably the worst out of that group, Webster is pretty solid and a good ST player, Lewis too.
Doesn’t the mascot swim on a tank of water?
On water is floating….
Probably means its dead.
Or the Messiah, living a porpoiseful life.
Ross is too cheap for a tank of water, let alone a dolphin. C’mon!
Don’t worry about whether we keep the mascot in a tank or not
He’s going to be traded too!
Yeah, but what about the cap hit?
Pretty sure all his money is guaranteed even if it is halibut.
Everything I know about the Dolphins is from watching Ace Ventura.
Then you know not to tongue kiss Finkle
Millennial minds at work.
Lol…America is doomed!
What a dipshit !!
Broken bones for sure, elbow, radius, ulna, maybe more.
Why doesn’t this guy have a job? Clearly has all the necessary skills to succeed in life.
I don’t think it’s necessary to take of your shirt to sustain and injury
Alrighty then! LOL
Ross outsourced the tank and dolphin, no way he puts money back into the area.
Means either Tank or Nkemdiche isn’t coming back this year.
Or someone on the roster goes to the PS or is cut. Nkemdiche played Monday night.
Maybe I misread. Thought it indicated they could only designate two for return. If KimChee played and is one and Davenport is two, where does that leave Tank?
Did he? I wasnt paying attention.
Forgot about this too, this is more to replace Howard, but it’s another DB so that could hurt Tank’s chances of coming back.
https://www.thephinsider.com/2019/10/31/20942243/dolphins-awarded-ken-crawley-off-waivers
D – I’m pretty damn sure I saw Nkemdiche playing Monday night, I’m going to check the game stats.
He did play. Check out the subs list . . .
Click to access PIT_Gamebook.pdf
Must have been a low number of snaps, maybe something for them to use to knock the rust off.
I saw him out there a bunch of times in the 2nd half. He didn’t make the stat sheet. His uni looked clean as a whistle first time I saw him. I’m not positive, but I don’t think he played the 1st half.
the article about Davenport is wrong. (or perhaps incomplete) the team has 3 weeks after bringing a player back from IR to decide what to do with them. They have already brought Nkemdeiche and Tank back (but Tank has not been activatyed) so he (Tank) may be getting cut by next Wednesday which is his the deadline, or they may decide to cut Davenport.
I think it more lkely that we will see Tank cut in the next few days because we have signed Crawley and others.
Oh, what I am doing!? I need to stop contributing. I forgot. Sorry.
he article is wrong by saying by having Davenport practice with the team it automatically makes him one of the two. They get three weeks to decide.
🤮🤮🤮 at Mikes avatar
Really? Don’t like Ross and Trump? What a duo! lol
I hope we see Nkdiche play a lot going forward
Let’s see what he has
What is that?
kimchee
Oh…kimchee
That looks like a good one too. lots of aromatics to balance the cabbage.
My god Frank, you’ve hit coleslaw!!!
Anyone know that paraphrased reference?
What do you think Mike?
Your avatar makes me feel 5 lbs lighter.
That’s a good one! What can brown and orange do for you?
Lol
Mike just started a new trend here, trolling with your avatar lol.
I went to gravatroll.com/en
I really didn’t think it was possible, seriously . . .
We don’t have the least amount of sacks in the NFL, the Falcons do with 7, and then we’re tied with the Jets, who just keep spending first RD picks on DT’s.
With a paltry 9 sacks. Ugh! I need my phone to do Piggy’s vomit emoji
We chase our tail this year then Chase Young next year
Tank and Kimchee are on the Pup list designation which is separate and distinct from IR.
We do only have the choice to activate 2 players and there are possibilities:
Davenport- so it seems only one spot left between the following 3 –
Van Winkle
Bedwetter
Talib although figure it won’t be him
Van Ginkle
Jonathan Ledbetter
I want Van Ginkle!!!!!
I do too but I really like Ledbetter
Nicely done by you Son
Bookman – no, but guessing it’s Seinfeld?

Funny line by Frank in that episode:
“I am not paranoid, I saw them burying it this morning when I was checking my toothpaste for explosives”
Chase Young
Jalen Hurts
Jonathan Taylor
First round 20 draft
Biegel may keep Van Ginkle on IR they’re similar players and Biegel is really playing well. Ledbetter would help across the whole D front and he was playing well particularly for a rookie undrafted.
That’s him
I never got into M*A*S*H. It was a great show though
My favorite all time show. Hulu has the whole series.
We do lead the NFL in points though! Points allowed that is, at a hefty 34 PPG
The gap between what we scored and what we gave up is a canyon also
Sonny – I’d be very happy with Chase Young. We need a difference maker on defense, we haven’t had one in almost as long as as we haven’t had a QB
JT

Why does Rock have a pile of shit as his avatar?
And why does Mike have Ross next to a pile of shit as his avatar?
And why did the Patriots release Gordon now after sticking with him through all the garbage? Supposedly he’s healthy enough to play.
Because Mike gives two shits
That’s true. 🙂
I have always heard the term breathtaking and thought I understood it. I was wrong because I have just experienced it. This woman just walked by in her “costume“ and all of my functions ceased. My heart skipped, I could not breathe, I could not walk talk or do anything until she was out of my field of view. I froze like a baby deer when the wolves are sniffing through the bushes a few feet away. Dayammmnn
I could have hidden her “costume“ in my fist and no cloth would show. The only thing I can think is she’s a stripper stopping at Starbucks on her way to work. 😳
I’m guessing she was pretty hot?
Had that happen to me once. Followed up, started a relationship. Crazy bitch tracked me around the world for 15 years.
Kong, Marvin does not appreciate you calling him a pile of shit. 😏
My Dolphin is used to being called that . . .

That’s mean. LOL

Drake debuts for the Cardinals tonight.
Go Drake! We want the 5th!
36 yards first run.
Hey that Drake guy looks pretty fucking good. I wish we could get a running back like that
Hey that Drake guy looks pretty fucking good. I wish we could get a running back like that
What’s the condition on the Drake trade to get it to a 5th? Go Drake
I think production parameters. Not sure if it’s about if ARZ re-signs him.
Good for you Drake!
I love the Drake…..if he gets us that 5th rounder…
Drake running behind an OL, smokin’hot bartender…who do I watch…
The bartender why is this a question?
We need 2 Safeties, a corner, a big time edge rusher and big giant bull inside on defense.
We need 2 Tackles, a back that stays on the field for 3 downs, maybe another inside Olineman, a “pure” * WR, and an answer at QB. Maybe a TE.
* = know it when you see it
Is that all? Good thing we have 47 draft picks. We can triple down on all.
Plus Free Agency
Our defense is like a red light district whore, pick a hole you’re guaranteed to score.
Little Mrs and I did the red light district tour of Amsterdam couple months ago….. based on what the guide said not sure any hole goes. Or at least some of them cost extra. 🙂
We’re playing with NFL money here it’s no object they’ll drop 5 mill for a measly 5th round pick.
LOL — but I actually think a 5th worth that money. Think about how little they get paid and how much a FA starter does. That 5th starts one year and paid for.
When you put it like that it makes more sense. Have to draft well.
Safety (both) is a high priority for us
Was that Drake that just plastered a blitzing LB to the ground? He did that earlier this season for us as well.
Jimmy Johnson used 15 draft picks the year he took Troy Aikeman, the year after he took Michael Irving.
He drafted 3 straight Hall of Famers in Irving, Aikeman and Emmitt Smith. That’s the kind of success we need drafting to get where we want to go. The next first rounder after Smith was Russell Maryland who probably should be in the hall too.
No, Michael Irvin was already on the team drafted the year before in 1988.
Russell Maryland was solid not a HOF type career. Only made the Pro Bowl once in a 10 year career.
Yeah that’s what I said – “the year after he took Irving”
Jimmy Johnson became HC of the Cowboys in 1989.
Oh ok I thought he took Irving. So 2 in a row followed by Maryland. No bad.
Wisniewski, Darly Johnston and Mark Stepnoski followed Aikeman in the draft.
Plus Randy Shannon (11th round) who didn’t do much as a player but become a hell of a defensive coach and is the DC currently at UCF.
Son – I’m not even sure there’s a game on.
Good Marine
Wasn’t it a Halloween night when Cam Wake sacked Dalton for an overtime win?
Yes!
