Preston Williams did this twice yesterday, catching 2 TD passes from QB Ryan Fitzpatrick. The Dolphins finally put together a complete game as they held on at home to earn their first victory of the season. I’m sure Brian Flores enjoyed every second of it. The run game never got on track but that didn’t stop Fitzpatrick from using many different receivers to move the ball. It seems almost routine now that Fitzpatrick spreads the ball around and he hit 9 different Dolphins this past Sunday against the Jets. This was easily Fitzpatrick’s best effort as Dolphins QB. He finished the game completing 24 of 36 attempts for 288 yards and 3 TD’s and no interceptions. Pretty impressive, especially considering how woeful our run game was, 24 carries for 50 yards, so it was on Fitzpatrick to make things happen.
I know you all remember the scene last season where Adam Gase was sitting on the bench during a blowout loss all by his lonesome writing up plays on a clipboard or whiteboard. That same scene played itself out again on Sunday, except this time Gase was on the visiting sideline. Strange that it could occur so similarly twice. Gase has totally fallen out of favor (understandably) with Jets fans who are now calling for him to be fired. Not likely to happen as GM Joe Douglas was hand picked by none other than Gase himself, plus he has a 4 year contract the Jets would have to eat as well. He will most likely get another year with a draft that both he and Douglas engineer and then be judged by those results.
Mike Gesicki is improving and he had a big day against the AFC East rivals. Gesicki caught 6 passes for 95 yards and now has a respectable 21 receptions for 248 yards. One huge disappointment however is the fact that he still has no TD receptions. 6’5 250 and a huge wingspan and catch radius plus a 40″ vertical should have lead to at least a few TD’s, right?
The Dolphins defense had 3 sacks and also an INT for DB Jomal Wiltz. No, Charles Harris didn’t get one, it was rookie 1st RD pick Christian Wilkins notching his first sack. Nik Needham throttled Darnold on a delayed blitz where Darnold never saw Needham coming. Davon Godchaux also got his first sack of the season. The run defense was stout enough to contain Bell and Powell and keep that duo under 100 yards for a total of 81 yards.
It was great day in all, any time you beat the Jets, especially a Jets team with Adam Gase at the helm. Keep in mind Gase defeated the Jets twice last year as Dolphins HC but now lost to his former (depleted) squad. That’s gotta hurt! The Dolphins are now one of 3 teams that are 1-7, while the Redskins are 1-8 and the team that is at the bottom of the barrel but the top of the tank is now the Cincinnati Bengals who are 0-8. Odds are we won’t be the first pick, and you know what, that’s just fine with me!
GO DOLPHINS!!
#staythecourse
Finsmob Unleashed 
A little bit early is pass interference
What’s wrong with these announcers
They don’t respect the Dolphins because they are dirty cheaters who are Tanking and disrespecting the shield
I said the same fuckin thing. LOL
Bobby !!
McCANE!!!!
🎶🎶🎶🎶dooo dooo dooo🎶🎶🎶🎶
Good ole Bobby McCain
Down
Isn’t he down when he slides
Not forward
Head first rather
I was about to ask what kind of backwards slides they get in Canada!
No not if he wasn’t touched.
Backward slide out my driveway nearly every day now ..
Lol
Can I see a Gesicki fade
He needs that 1st TD!!! I’m all in on that one. LOL
Good job Fitz…but I wanted a TD catch for our TE…so fuck off too
Fitz SPRINTS lol into endzone
Say what you want but Fitz is a gamer!!! Nicely done old man. LOL
Oh yeah and that’s not tanking. 🙂
Yeah, they cant even tank correctly…smh…lol
Should be fun to watch these blitzes now!
Nice play by no name # 24
Lewis – I learned that DB last week…lol
2 weeks ago during Steeler game lol
Our nemesis!
The minute warning! 😉
2
No one freaking out that we are leading? I expected more from this group! Lol
We always have the lead in 1st half these days .. it’s the 3rd 1/4 we collapse in weekly 🤔
Did our new sherels used to play for Vikings ? They had a really good return guy/dB with that name
Yes
This team looks cohesive. We need more talent but it looks well coached. The tackling has been better than it’s been in a long time. That’s a Belichick instilled fundamental to Flores. If you don’t tackle, you don’t play. The process has already begun. There’s a good chance this team and specifically the defense is a nasty bunch in a good way next year. 🙂
I agree. The lesser talented players we have here , have bought in and are playing well together
I was just thinking of something to type, and you hit on pretty much everything I am thinking. They look really well prepared, cant wait to infuse talent into this.
Am I the only one who sees dudes have no clue about make nice plays? Maybe they are good…. or maybe the scheme on D is a good one.
Baker, Biegal and McMillan are 3 nice LBs to build on. Add that terror edge rusher and everything changes.
Biegal is one of those found gems for sure. The other two we drafted to be what they are.
yep
Chase Young
Yep!
Snowing at Packer game. Not heavy though.
I can’t stream here at work.
These blitzes are fun
Nice job defense on the opening drive of the 2nd half.
Come on Rams. Their offense sucks! Don’t know what happened to them.
Injuries and age on the OL. They had their window and fell short.
I GOT CHO FLAG! LOL
I love that Bus commercial
Ouch
Is it that time already?
We’re also solid on STs.
OL has been giving Fitz time as well, just need to do some run blocking
Where has aquaman CFL LB been since preseason ??
Vincent Chase plays LB? 🙂
Lol , no silly Equevon ?
Jenkins is a beast
We talked about him watching the game against the Steelers…no * because I spelt
it correctly………
BIG JOHN Jenkins
Minkah Fumble return TD
Ughhh
Looked to be an incompletion but stood under review
Nice play by Wiltz
Bombers down 14-8 in West semi final at the half
Huh?
Come on it’s closer to football news than baseball 🤡
What inning, or frame??? or whatever
3rd end just started 😊
I believe Equevon has been jumped by Biegal along with Baker and McMillan. He’s solid depth though.
He looked great in PS ..
He’s playing now and just blew up a play with Baker out.
Lol nice run
Needham Is playing better today

I don’t get NFL network anymore Forget about CFL Network.
You know, Needham has given up some big plays this year. I have cursed #40 a bunch, but he has been steadily improving throughout the season so I will go with it.
He’s physical player learning his way.
Snap infraction?
Isn’t that what we used to call a false start?
15-14 bombers. Woot woot
Well we escaped the 3rd still holding the lead🤫
pickmagic just showed up
Woot Woot!! Bombers are a Lingerie League team right?
Lol no that would be Bloomers 😊
Even 13-10 is not the end of the world. It’s a friggin football game.
Yep , we still got this
That’ll cost em
LOL missed extra point.
Pig, instead of 3-2, it will be 13-12
Close Enough!
yes!
“You and I talk all the time, Picks Rubs, whatever you want to call them….”
Well, I call them a violation of the rules and in the case of the MAULING of #47 by the linemen it is offensive pass interference.
Uhg, this is Ftiztragic
Gesicki 1st down
Persistence isn’t a virtue for this running game
This is where Gase would stop running
I’m glad they keep trying
But it’s depressing to see it
Back in the lead 🙌

Okay Sanders nice kick.
Yeah that should a Been roughing the Qb
Who needs some ham!
Another great play by NeedHAM
WTF … no call but they pull Fitz for medical attention ?? BS
Wow this 1/4 has flown by ,,
Shit play calling
Didn’t want Rosen to throw
Really? This is on the refs
Separate issue. What refs did was bs as was not letting Rosen throw
25-14 Bombers
That was BS
Exactly
Damn…Don’t even trust Rosen to throw a pass
https://twitter.com/theflyingpig44/status/1193678282895572994?s=21
K Def let’s end this NOW

Woot WOOT and dilly DILLY
Woot woot MIAMI WINS
Well that was different
Dolphins climbing back up the ladder.
Hey now!!!! 2 in a row baby!
Way to go on the road against a team trying to stay in the playoff hunt. Go Phins!!!
Oh yeah… you tank fuckers… do what you do. LOL
2 in a row baby!!
Fuck you want to lose tankers!
GO FINS
#staythecourse
I was thinking the fix was in and Indy was going to win and the fact that Fitz missed that set of downs was going to be the controversy. Glad we won it.
ON A STREAK! WE CAN STILL GO 9-7
Why not ? Look at our schedule 🤷♂️
Take that. Guess they’re not trying to lose on purpose after all.
This is so awesome! Screw the tank crap!!!
O Rob, still think they are purposely losing??? You were really offended by it
Bombers up 35-14 , running out the clock 1:25 to go .. western Final here we come
I give the coaches a ton of credit. They had this team prepared even if not spectacular. LOL
Fuck off tankers!!!
That’s what we talked about in the beginning. Let’s see them grow as the season progresses. They are.
To shit on Flores is just dumb. I am slowly falling in love….
LOL
I still want one of the top 3 QBs so let’s not get too excited now
I do too, but but we have so many needs and if it doesn’t work out this year, we can get a QB next year. I want to build a team so I have no desire to trade up future picks to get a specific guy. That rarely works out well.
ONE OF THE COLTS’ COACHES asked Adam Gase “What play would YOU call on 4th and 10?” His response was,”An 8 yard pass!”
———-
THANK YOU COACH GASE!!!
———-
REALLY pleasantly surprised that the Dolphins pulled this one out of the fire. It was a truly great effort from an under manned team! Fitzpatrick showed everyone he still has plenty of fuel in the tank. And, at a key moment of the game (when Fitzy was inside the tent) coach Flores didn’t allow Mr. Rosen a chance to blow the game.
———
Gonna forsake my usual Colorado Kool-Aid victory beverage. This calls for a glass of my favorite cabernet!! —DEATH TO TANKERS!!!!!

RT17 with the “kill” today.
He made big plays when it counted. Good for him.
Agree Tim and ER. Just keep getting better, and we seem to be doing just that!
🙂
Already listening to the without Brissett nonsense. Fuck that. We are without 85% of a team.
Hell yeah!
ER – Couldn’t have said that any better! Well done! No excuses! Win with what ya got, or tuck your tail between your legs and try again next week.
This team is coming together
I mentioned it last week. they are developing an identity
Any bitching yet?
See above I am bitching
Nope! Lots of good signs. Wait until we add some special talent. 🙂
ER:
RT17 is playing really well right now for the Titans. They have won 3 of 4 with him starting including 2 in the 4th quarter
I don’t want to knock him but I want to see if he can win if the run game isn’t there for him. I don’t think he can do it, and I wouldn’t want to need to him to do that, especially in a big game.
He made some big time plays today. He rose to the occasion when he had to.
Yep. I’m rooting for him. Pretty rare for me cheering on an ex player. Wish him nothing but the best.
Fuck Ya Fuck Ya. Dolphins WIN 🐬🐬🐬🐬🐕😎👍🥃🥃
We won and that’s all that matters but we are still a team with little talent. The coaching staff has me excited with the infusion of talent we will see next year. Needham has improved a lot. Walton looks like a starter. Wilkins is improving. Parker looks good finally. These coaches know how to coach up talent.
I just hope they know how to teach young QBs because Rosen looks like he he will never be the guy here. Flores and the team looked desperate not to give Rosen a chance to fuck up. That’s a terrible look and I hope he finds whatever is missing.
I hope players really like those Mondays off from here on out….
+10000
I’m still in a wait and see with Rosen. We’ve seen it before. Let a young guy have a 2nd season in the same system once in awhile. Rosen is 22 years old. He’s not done because of a game situation decision. We won the game. We were going to do that Fitz as well.
Today Flores taught his team how to win a close game. That’s part of it too. Not just FA and the draft.
Media already poo pooing the win. Who wants to read that crap? I don’t understand them. Don’t write about the game, just how winning screws everything up? Dumb
If Omar could gobble Tua’s swing he would. LOL
Mando wants to get gang banged. LOL
Whatever!!!!!
lol Minkah seals Steelers win with an INT.
Mike E: ^^ I played him today 😊👍
Fucking traitor! Both of ya! For shame Toba!
ER,
The really stupid part of the media is that we can still get one of the top 3. We have extra picks if needed and no one knows which of them will end up on top. Success for a QB will always depend on the other 21 guys playing most of the snaps. It’s been shown over and over ad nauseam, but we still get the same repetitive dreck week after week.
I still haven’t seen one writer lambasting the Bengals for tanking. Where’s the outrage?!!
went to Bokampers to watch the game. Frickin awesome!
Flores deserved that one. Had his guys ready and a good game plan also
After the season is over….. wouldn’t you really prefer to be 4-12 or 5-11 with a bullet?
Draft is a crap shoot anyhow.
