I know, it’s Week 5 and already the QB controversy has begun. I believe there is a legitimate reason for there to be one. I don’t want to knock the Dolphins front office or any of the coaching staff but if Brian Flores is speaking true of Tua Tagovailoa, that he isn’t quite ready yet, the question is WHY? Health is not an issue, because Tua has been the gameday #2 QB which means if anything happened to Ryan Fitzpatrick Tua would be in the game. So let’s put health aside, and think back to before the Tua injury at Alabama, he was the top QB prospect, although Joe Burrow with his great Senior year was a close 2nd. So how is it that Joe Burrow started from day one? Justin Herbert taken one pick after Tua has now started 3 weeks due to the unfortunate medical circumstances with QB Tyrod Taylor. Undrafted Brett Rypien has started an NFL game due to injuries to Drew Lock and Jeff Driskel, and although it was against the NY Jets he still looked like he belonged completing 67% of his passes and a team high 7.4YPA. Yes, he threw 4 INT’s, but he was undrafted after all. So again I ask, why is Tua not ready?
I like and admire Ryan Fitzpatrick and our 1-3 record is certainly not all on him. If you watched the last game. We dominated TOP and had the ball more than 6 minutes more than the Seahawks. We ran 67 plays, 45 were Ryan Fitzpatrick pass attempts and another 6 were Ryan Fitzpatrick rushes. 51 of the 67 plays were Ryan Fitzpatrick. Isn’t that too much to come away with only TD? The one TD was a Ryan Fitzpatrick scramble. Listen, Fitz is playing his heart out, he’s doing whatever he can to win games but we’re not winning and I think it’s high time for them to spend more time doing whatever they have to do to get young Tua Tagovailoa ready to play.
This week we travel to SFO to play Darlene’s beloved 49ers. Talk about a team absolutely decimated by injuries, it’s unbelievable and they keep coming. The 49ers have quite the IR list, starting with DE’s Nick Bosa and Solomon Thomas, CB Richard Sherman, WR’s Deebo Samuel, Tavon Austin, Jalen Hurd, RB Tevin Coleman, TE George Kittle was out 3 weeks and now QB Jimmy Garoppolo, DE Dee Ford, and RB Raheem Mostert are out with injuries. All I can say is it’s a good time to play the Niners. Kyle Shanahan has done a fine job at keeping this team competitive despite the volume of injuries as they are 2-2. QB Nick Mullins can play and this is by no means a gimme. George Kittle is back mostly healthy and was a monster last week and I would expect him to have another huge day against our defense.
It may not seem as if our defense has improved all that much but we do have 9 sacks through 4 weeks, I’m not sure we had 9 sacks all season last year. OK, that’s a joke. We had 23 sacks last season and right now we’re on pace for 36. You have to start somewhere. In our secondary, rookie Noah Igbinoghene has been targeted often and with much success. It was intended that Iggy play mostly in the slot with Byron Jones playing the boundary but Jones has been injured and unavailable, pressing Igbinoghene into a tough assignment. He’s a good player, and he will improve wherever he plays, count on it! I don’t know of Byron Jones status for week 5 but my guess is Iggy will be starting outside opposite X. Deebo Samuel is back after playing last week against Philly and Brandon Aiyuk, a very promising rookie will likely be the guy Iggy will be covering, so not an easy out.
One thing I take as a positive is that there was formal announcement regarding the status of the starting QB position with our team, so at least there is consideration or at a minimum awareness that a change may be necessary. As I stated earlier, besides getting the team ready to play the 49ers, they had better be dedicating as much time is necessary to make sure #1 is ready to play, I mean after all he’s the gameday #2, it’s kind of expected, no? Maybe Tua should be getting more practice reps, I doubt Fitz needs them at this point of his career, he can do it in his sleep. I hope they do everything in their power to make sure Tua IS ready, I think it’s just about that time!
GO DOLPHINS!!!!

Broncos have a different bye week than we do so that will need figured out, will cause more scheduling changes. Going to be a cluster.
Here are the links, reposting again! 🙂
Go Dolphins!

So even though the opener on Thursday was on a national broadcast, I practiced my setup, and both of these sites worked well. Just FYI for anyone that needs the links:

Patriots fucking things up for us
Oh noooooo. Goya. LOL
Quit giving out participation awards!
If you can’t field a team by game time, it’s a forfeit!
Put an “L” in that column!!!!!!!!!!
What is Austin Jackson injury?
Did everyone get drunk last night and can’t wake up today? It’s Game Day!!! Wake up!!!
4:25PM game, people are getting a later start
Is Mahomes gay or does it just look like he has a bag of dicks up his ass, when he walks on and off the field🤔
Our game is on here later today.
Yes, I know it’s a later start. That’s usually not a deterrent. 😂
Just saying its the Fox game of the week here in LV, I don’t have to go to one of those links.
We aren’t going to the playoffs, so the late bye isn’t needed. I like it next week to get Tua ready.
With Jackson on IR, if he’s ready in 3 weeks, we should be able to bring him off IR after only 2 games, since the league changed the schedule.
We’re not used to how these new IR rules play out yet. To me 3 weeks are 3 weeks minimum. What are the club’s options after that….. can they just put him on for another 3 weeks?
Its 3 games min, then week to week.
Are they still on IR then waiting for a release and a keep’em or lose them for the year option like with the old half season IR?
So our bye week is now next week?
Seems what it is. Pats screwed us over again. 🙂
Joe “The Blow” Flacco
Not doing any better than Darnold
Not much of an O there, with those WRs.
Go Jags
So Jackson has about a month to heal
Should be 3 weeks. I mean you’ve got games scheduled for the next 3 weeks, and know he’s not going to play the next 3 weeks, so you put him on IR. If you planned on him being available week8, we should be able to IR him for 3 weeks and not 3 games or have the option to rescind his IR.
At some point the NFL is going to have to start having teams like the Titans forfeit games. You get a couple of ‘ adjustments’ and then it’s forfeit if you can’t get your act together. They have to give other teams the same number of rescheduled games (if they need them) that the Titans and Patriots have had. Only fair thing to do.
Forfeit or make them play the games. Den vs Cheats was supposed to be played on Tuesday, Belicheat must’ve bitched with the quick turn around to week 6.
I think they had another positive so can’t do that because then the Broncos are potentially exposed. Not fair to the team that is forced to play them. I think the Chiefs could have made that argument when they had to play them last week.
It may come to that, but it is down the road. Right now they are juggling the bye weeks to keep the schedule at 17 weeks. Next step after that is pushing back the playoffs and making it an 18 game schedule.
^18 week schedule
Good lord I better leave the beer alone or it’s going to be nap time during the game!!!!!!
Steve — not that didn’t trust you, but after checking you are so right. This year IR is 3 weeks minimum and pretty much endless after that and for as many players as you want. Also means we don’t know how long Jackson will be out.

“Any player on the team’s active roster can be placed on Injured Reserve. When that happens, they’re taken off the active roster like normal. But they can return to the active roster after a minimum of three weeks, not eight. And an unlimited number of players can return to action in this way.”
According to chemistry alcohol is a solution
LOL – True dat!
Anyone seen our Pig? Maybe he is busy with what’s behind this headline (and this ain’t national enquirer).
“America’s Rapid Feral Hog Problem Is Creating a “Super-Pig” Uprising.”
1:40
Guess the final phase of the uprising is not today then. Cool.
Alex Smith is playing for the Redskins today.
What happened to Kyle Allen? I saw him score a TD earlier?
Smith entered the game Sunday at the 2-minute warning in the second quarter after Kyle Allen was hurt on a third-down scramble against the Los Angeles Rams.
So Gaskin, Breida, Laird and Cox eh?
Don’t see Lynn Bowden in there either.
Stang – Bowden might be, he’s not on the scratch list
Wasn’t talking about your list….. the scratch list. Seems they are suiting him up. Perry probably doesn’t like that.
Thanks Steve
Dolphins 30
49ers 24
Good to see you Rhino! Storms treat you OK? Wyoming, BBM and D had a tough time.
Only Hanna got us (lost power). We’ve been very lucky with all the others.
We’ve been lucky as well. The ones that hit you guys first had South FL on their mind, but then decided to head your way . Maybe they heard South Beach was closed. 🙂
