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!!!!
Finsmob Unleashed 
Other than the refs calling 3 questionable penalties on one drive, gifting the Niners a TD, and Jakeem Grant being a huge bag of suck, it was a near perfect game.
It’s insane that almost a 3rd of our schedule – 4 games and the bye week – were completely upended because of other teams’ BS.
Pats BS tifi
lol
Yep…..deal with it?
Congrats Phins!!!!! Great win! Flores and Co. out-coached Kyle Shanahan and Co. all day. The young Phins came to play. 😉
Our running game was MIA in the 1st half, but towards the end of the 3rd and into the 4th we actually ran the ball pretty well when we were closing out the game. That was encouraging.
I can’t wait to see how we look next week against a garbage Jest team. It would be nice to see us follow up a big win with another dominating performance against a bottom dweller.
Such a fun win today. So glad I get tomorrow off, so I can keep drinking and reveling in the win. 🙂
Two weeks in a row I come away feeling encouraged. It struck me most how strange it was to have that feeling. Great win on the road….with a shuffled OL no less! Good stuff. Keep working. Keep building.
Falcons fired their HC and GM
That wasn’t supposed to be a reply
Had to relive it already:
PIGGY; Does that mean that both the fired head coach and GM of the Falcons are now being considered by the JETS?? Perhaps the fired Atlanta GM could step in for owner Woody Johnson at the owners meetings so Woody, our ambassador to Scotland, could be free to spend more time trying to persuade the Scots to move the British Open to one of the golf courses over there owned by Donald Trump??
What happened to Iggy today?
Don’t know. Needham was out there a good bit and at times we had 3 safeties out there at the same time.
has anyone else noticed that the 3 Dolphin losses were to the 5-0 seahawks, 4-0 bills, and the 2-2 patriots by a total of 22 points ? ……… boy, what a difference a year makes. 🙂
I don’t think it surprises anyone any longer that he has these type of games, his problem has always been, when the going gets tough he tries to do too much and forced the ball, then the ints start happening.
I noticed yesterday he took a sack near the goal line, instead if forcing the ball. Don’t remember ever seeing that from him before.
what was up with the roughing the QB call, that may be one of the worst calls i have seen,
They were trying to make the game competitive. It’s happened a lot this year and one reason why Dallas has been able to come roaring back this year, every week it seems.
The announcers were horrible, they were 49ers fans
I mentioned that yesterday, I called them ref apoloists.
Byron Jones back on D made a difference
I agree, don’t remember more than a couple of passes caught by WRs, and for that matter can’t really even remember the names of them.

crazy season, so now we don’t play Denver next week, we play the jets, and the Bills play on Tues then on Thurs? a 2 day turn around! that can’t be!!
———————————————————————————————-
Denver game, last i heard was pushed back to week 11, or bye week, and next week will instead be our bye. Im not sure about the Bills, i saw they were scheduled for a Tuesday game, but the Thursday i think got moves back to a later rdate. Lots of shuffling around.
Nevermind, look above WY has you covered lol.
I hated the jets back to back games from the start, and thought the earlier bye would help get Tua on the field, then Fitzmagic strikes again.
The league should rule on that Grugier-Hill hit. Refs needs to be held accountable for shit like that too, and that gave them a TD, a few pretty bad calls int he game most went against us.
I do have to say, us playing Denver in Denver a month later makes that game harder on us than it was before. Denver in October, pretty colors, crisp weather, November is shrunken balls and frostbit nipples.
I was thinking harder, because they may have a better QB playing, better than the 3rd string version that’s playing now.
Also, for some reason, maybe the dry air, but games we’ve played late in the season in Denver haven’t really affected us in the past. I’m Ok with the schedule change.
I’m Ok with it for now, it still may change again.
We should be able to beat the jets next week to get to 3-3, week 7 though is looking tougher and tougher😉 but I don’t see a game we can’t win until we play the Chiefs week 14. We’re not going to win all of those, but its the easier part of the schedule, before the tough last 4.
I think Fitz did a great job of exploiting the PS CB yesterday, something I haven’t heard in forever for our team, usually we hear it being done to us.
After giving Flores shit all week I want to give him his due, he had em ready to go.
In years I felt we were talent depleted and still won some games like this I felt like it was a one off and everything had to align perfectly. I didn’t feel that way yesterday. Sure the 49ers were depleted, but they’ve still got a good team.
Van Ginkel and Ogbah are studs. Yesterday should’ve been game 1, the previous 4 the PS.
The Herald has an article titled Byron Jones returns and the D plays lights out. Coincidence? Not a chance.
I agree, not a chance.
Nope – they are built that way
Also Howard has been amazing the last few weeks
Howard is a stud
We have a +23 point differential which is the same as the 4-0 Bills
Hunt played a lot yesterday
I wonder if we are on our way to Hunt, Kindley and Jackson on the field at the same time by December
++++
I have decided I want a 37 jersey. Gaskins is not the best player on the team but he plays hard week in week out
Kinda jersey I like. Taking a risk though. After the next off season only place you might see his number is on the bench.
I am encouraged that Miami has beat two bad teams the way a good team is supposed to beat a bad team. By crushing them. In the past Miami would have let them hang around and then scrape out a bare win or manage to lose.
Very true and SF is banged up by far from a bad team
Stats that actually mean something, thanks Travis😁
Seriously though, it seems like things on D are starting to come together and on O things are starting to get back to where they were at the end of last year, with the addition of the running game and pass protection.
I was very excited yesterday to see a FULL BACK busting heads and opening running lanes for the Dolphins yesterday. GO COX!
Me too…and successful screen passes…whoda think!?!
Here is some Koolaide from Wingfield.

To me its not about failure, but recovery from failure, so positve steps as far as changing that. We are still very much learning to play in the system, despite some of them havign familiarity, and we still have a lot of new guys playing so the maturation process is still ongoing. I expect ups and down, but to see the same failures made previously not being revisited is encouraging.
RIP Joe Morgan.
I remember watching Red’s baseball with my grandmother back in the day. Lying on the floor in front of the tv in what was referred to as the sun porch, the floor warm from the sun streaming in the windows.
A heart felt RIP Joe. I hated the Reds in the 70s, but always thought he was a great player and best 2nd baseman with a clutch bat.
I loved Joe in the booth after his playing career was over, when Joe (EF Hutton) spoke you listened and knew it was fact and coming from the heart.
I forgot about his chicken wing arm flap, that he did at the plate to remind him of something.
I used it when I played softball to remember to wait on the ball, it worked great. Thanks Joe.
Mighty Joe. Used to love imitating his batting stance with the back elbow flap. He was great. RIP Joe.
Yeah thats really sad. Being a braves fan, i hated Cincy, but they have a remarkable past and some iconic players from those times. Morgan was a gereat guy and a great player. He will be missed.
Only disappointment yesterday was Houston Texans winning 😦 I’m cheering against them as much as I am cheering for the Fins.
I want them to finish in bottom four … Fins can win, win, win, and still have a top 4 or 5 pick!! Oh, and we get their 2nd round pick as well (total of 3 picks in top 36 or 37).
Ideally, a top 4 pick with Lawrence and Fields both going there it leaves Sewell or Chase … both of whom are considered among highest rated at their position in a decade. Then use our natural pick for defense (edge, DL). If Houston continues to falter, 2021 could be the draft that solidifies Miami’s long term future.
Either of these 2 would make me happy!
Gregory Rousseau, EDGE, Miami (6-6, 260 pounds)
Rousseau has opted out of the ACC season to focus on working out for the NFL. It’s just about raising his ceiling there as his floor or production immediately was high for the Hurricanes. He has great burst to the QB and finishes them off well, too.
Ja’Marr Chase, WR, LSU (6-1, 200 pounds)
Chase made a ton of big plays with Joe Burrow outside and now will get to expand his receiving and route-running repertoire with more slot work in 2020.
What about Waddle?
Id rather have Waddle over Chase, personally. Why not just be greedy and hope for both lol.
Seaver
Brock
Gibson
Morgan
4 of the greatest of all time gone recently
that is 4 players for an all time team for sure.
When I actually enjoyed watching baseball these guys were playing. All 4 are NL guys.

—————————————————————
Did something change? Next week is the bye now i thought.
Stej next week at home, bye the following week
Yes we play Jets next week
Read above
I barely noticed Byron Jones was in the game. For a boundary CB that is a real good thing.
His state line reads one tackle. Not eve a pass defended, which assume is cause few if any came his way.
Whitey Ford died recently as well (American Leager)
All the great ones going:
Gale Sayers
Eddie Van Halen
Make it stop
It’s the generation above us passing away, including our idols when we were young. No stopping that.
Joe Morgan
Another thing I liked about yesterday’s game was Wilkins coming up with the fumble and running over to give the ball to the coach.
He played great yesterday
That’s probably, because the coach kicked him in the ass on a prior fumble that he tried to pick up and had it snatched from under him.
Ogbah leads our team with 3 sacks
But Baker, Van Ginkle and Van Noy each have 2
I like that we get pressure from all over!
Imagine if we have 4 guys with 7 sacks each when the season is done
Hard to defend that
That’s the belicheat way, you don’t have that one can, that can be doubled, that demands a large contract. You’re better off with some pretty good scheme players, that you create scheme sacks for.
Also Baker has 40 tackles this season
He’s killing it
We might really want to take a look at NT In the draft
We really don’t need that much, but we could get better almost everywhere. C, DE and RB would be my first thought, but NT would be nice as well.
WR too. Need a speedy guy to keep the defense honest. We have the 2 big guys in Parker and Williams, need the speed guy that can take it to the house. Ford is good but he’s a Davone Bess type receiver.
This one has actually happened to me
We actually looked like a legit NFL team yesterday. I know we can revert back to the other team, and to be honest, I felt like if the Niners ran the ball 60 times they probably would have won because we didn’t even slow down their running game. Our pressure + Jimmy G throwing lame ducks all over the field is what made the biggest difference.
Not sure what is up with Jimmy G, but we played a team without a legit starting QB (either of them). But you play teams like that sometimes and our D looked awesome.
He wasn’t the Jimmy G I’ve seen play in the past. He just couldn’t get anything on his throws so it’s safe to assume he was hurt in some fashion that was affecting his ability to make the throws he usually makes. Still, we hounded the F out of him, so props to the defense.
Didn’t you guys know he was out the past 2 1/2 games with an ankle injury, and was a game time decusion for this game?
Yes, props to our D. You can only defend the players on the field.
🙂
Our D is built to play with a lead or 3rd and long, when we can release the hounds, you just don’t know which hounds will be released.
Our D is coming together. We’re getting pressure, we’re getting takeaways and we’re getting off the field. I hope they get to play with leads all the time.
Regarding receivers we have the two who opted out coming back next year.
We’re looking for a dynamic one, not another Jag. A speedster to open things up for everyone else.
Wilson signed a 3 year contract in 2018, so 2020 would have been year 3
If you opt out does it extend the contract to the following year?
Yes
Hurns and Wilson are nice options, but should be say #4 and #5 wideouts on a depth chart. They come back and means we don’t need more though, even if would love that pure slot guy. But slot guys can come lower in the draft.
Lots of biatching going on in the Bay Area😏 from current and former players, they don’t know what just hit them.
Fitz was having a blast yesterday chucking the ball up to Parker and Preston, especially the Parker TD.
Anyone notice they took Parker out, after it got out of control?
Chase and Waddle might end up being the top two receivers next season
But both LSU and Alabama have another WR that may go early enough Devotnae Smith and Terrace Marshall both look pretty good
Also keep you eye out for the return of Justyn Ross from Clemson who is recovering from neck surgery – Clemson has been putting very good WRs in the nfl lately. I think Ross might be in the same class as some of his predecessors at Clemson
Samurai preview
Devontae Smith I like a lot, but Waddle has that extra gear.
How the hell did you find a picture of a Japanese pig?
When you google image search “samurai pig” what you get. On the first page of choices was a samurai pig with wings that our own flying pig had used in the past linked to this very site.
Sanders set a Fins record of 14 FGs to start a season.
Both Sanders and Haack went unopposed during camp. How did Flores know they’d both be outstanding this year? Because he drafted a legacy long snapper🤔
With Byron Jones back in the lineup, rookie first-round pick Noah Igbinoghene played a season-low 10 snaps after getting more than 60 snaps each of the previous two weeks.
On the fake punt, when the unit was coming on the field a couple of the players were making an X symbol with their arms and saying something. At the time I took it to mean something was coming. Was this a tell? Why didn’t the 49ers pick up on it?
Not sure why Iggy wasn’t playing slot CB. That was the plan at least. Maybe he hasn’t been getting reps there cause Jones has been out.
“Fitzpatrick’s performance logged the third highest quarterback rating of a Dolphins passer in any game in team history: better than any mark left by Dan Marino in a single game.”
I hate when these idiots compare stats from different eras.
The best/fastest YAC receivers next draft IMO are Jalen Waddle, Alabama and Rondale Moore, Purdue. Both will be 1st rounds picks. Two others that could be had later are Anthony Schwartz, Auburn who is the fastest player in college football and another decent yac guy who I believe is sub 4.4 is Dazz Newsome, UNC.
Two others who will be 1st rounders (not sure how fast they are) Jamar Chase, LSU and Devonte Smith, Alabama. Both of them I am sure are not sub 4.4 but very good receivers.
I have not looked more into it than that but will later in the year.
RB Travis Etienne, Clemson is the fastest RB in college and will also be a 1st rounder.
https://sports.yahoo.com/dolphins-cb-xavien-howard-officially-113403797.html?src=rss
Howard must be real happy Jones is back. Means more balls his way. And he is good at picks.
BTW — you probably already know, but you still have a chance to win our FF match. Will leave it to you how….. this Covid season is a crazy one.
I thought I was screwed by the Pats defense?
Here is a little bit of Rondale Moore.
He’s like a RB when the ball is in his hands
Steve – Yeah, I knew he was hurting, you still don’t expect to see that. I mean what was he doing in warmups? Was he able to throw well in warmups?
Damn, I forgot another one I like later in the draft is Reggie Roberson, SMU.
BTW, I really like SMU QB Shane Buechele in the 6th round as a backup option to Tua.

IMO, the most dangerous WR in the draft as far as speed, vision and YAC ability is Jalen Waddle.
Stanger – Thanks…did not know I could do that.
Although it is a slim chance.
Only a slim chance cause of what D you had to pick up. But every given Sunday….. sorry…..Tuesday. 🙂
Lol…yep
Unless you want to trade the Bills D?
I happen to have a couple good QB’s….
Like I would trade to help you win. But as is not a trading league. Some are and some aren’t. In the rules, but no one ever does it. And never wanted to be THAT guy.
Lol…never know unless you try!
8 points? Let the “Losing for Lawrence” talk begin.
I am going to have to dust off my Tannehill jersey for tomorrow night’s game against the Bills
No kidding…me too. Except it is in Virginia and I am in the Keys.
Wear it in spirit
With the AFC Central playing the NFC East, and already have 2 teams 4-1 and one 4-0, I expect 2 of the 3 teams to be WCs, so that leaves us to fight it out with the cheats and Raiders for the 3rd WC. Assuming we continue to play like we did yesterday and somehow find a way to win 8 of 11.
Phish
How long have you been in the keys?
Not to pick at a scab, but I went to look where DK Metcalf went in the draft and realized it was 2 picks after the one Grier threw away to hold the rights for Rosen to hold a clipboard for a season.
Hindsight is 20/20. No one wants be 20/20 anything this year. Let it go.
More than Hindsight when someone railed against the idea before, during and after. He couldn’t even make the 3rd QB on Tampa’s roster. (they are carrying 3 and Rosen on the practice squad)
Strike against our current GM IMO, and I’m still keeping score even though he has only had “full control” for 2 years.
“He’s the greatest teammate I’ve played with ,He’s always having fun; the energy and confidence he brings are contagious, and he makes the guys around him better. If I could play with him for the next 15 years, I would do it. He’s the man.”
— Mike Gesicki on Fitzmagic
15 years of 8-8
{{{Shudders}}}
One can be a great teammate and not a great player.
Piggy – Since July 22.
Stanger, I am a big fan of Fitzmagic. He is a lot of fun to watch. His enthusiasm is as contagious for me as his teammates. LOL He just has never been “that guy”
Good enough to start most of his career, just not good enough to do it on the same team 3 years in a row. LOL
I just put out what Gesicki said about him. Fitz knows Tua is coming in, Flores knows Tua is coming in. You and I know Tua is coming in. Sure would be nice to keep the bearded one around as a #2 after that though.
I also think Fitz is a better QB than Tua at this point in their careers and agree with him starting over the “future”
Rock, not every move a GM makes pans out. It’s about a handful of moves but the overall body of work and we’re not there yet. Even with the 2nd rd pick for Rosen in 2019 we still had two 2nd rd picks this year and will have two again in 2021. There’s nothing wrong with taking a chance on young QBs. We already have the next young QB on the team. You just move on.
I guess, but was never a fan of Rosen so always thought it was flyer. With that much draft capital, you can afford it? OK, but not really.
Well now that Rosen didn’t pan out it it’s easy to criticize but it’s not like we had some big draft void because of the trade. There’s no going back so you move on. We have the young QB in Tua and that’s all we heard about during the 2019 season was “Tank for Tua”. Well we got him anyway without the #1 pick. We have a good situation right now.
I didn’t think I was being critical of Rosen, just was never a fan of giving up draft capital for him. Please don’t put words in my mouth. I didn’t think it was worth it. Period.
Yep…and out record wouldn’t be any better, imo. Probably worse, again imo.
Old school, but still believe you can get better as a rookie NFL QB holding a clipboard and learning for when it’s your time, ala Brady.
Learning to win and developing a winning culture is first and foremost, for me as an arm chair GM and HC.
That was supposed to be a response to Rockphin. Lol…I am so bad at this.
Yes, you ARE bad at this. But I’m a PUSSY (your words to me, not mine).
Guess who’s #32 on the all-time passing yardage list?!!
Fitz!
but I read that earlier!
LOL, yeah, you read my tweet from yesterday 😉
NICE!
HEY DRAMA MAMA!! WHAT’S HAPNEN!?
Festivus isn’t for a couple of months man. Hold your grievances until then.
Being we’re loaded in the 2021 Draft, look to draft a STELLAR pass-rusher, a franchise RT (Tua’s blindside), a killer RB, and a stud LB.
We are good at RT
Pass rusher, WR LB!
Hunt might be that RT of the future.
“Might be”, could be. That would be great. But what if we could draft an ELITE (Right) Tackle in the 1st Round of the 2021 Draft? That would be very difficult to pass on, no?
Don’t have the answer on that. It all depends on who’s available when we draft. Don’t see a whole lot of elite tackles coming out these days. It seems they all need some time to develop. So my hope is Hunt is learning and developing this year and maybe he makes a jump in his 2nd season when it’s Tua time. That would be ideal. Jackson already looks solid on the left side though he’s dealing with that foot injury right now.
Adam Gase is not going to survive this season. If he’s fired mid-season (I HOPE!), they might actually win some games (see Romeo in Houston yesterday).
We want the stej to win a few, we want the Texans to LOSE out, and we Phins will do whatever we want to do!
GO PHINS!!!
HELL YEAH!!!
Just not this week!
I hear ya!

Piggy – Since July 22.
*****
Are you officially a Phish now?
When a QB goes through what Rosen, Tannehill, Pat White, Beck, etc., it’s rare, imo, they ever reach their full potential. They’re fucked mostly, imo.
Do you think Murray will turn out in AZ? I have serious doubts.
I am not sold on Murray. He is very athletic but very erratic as a passer. He won’t play the Jets every week
If Arizona’s O-Line can protect Kyler Murray, he’ll be just fine.
If any OL can protect the QB, you will get to see the best QB that QB can be. Kinda my point.
Tannehill is doing fine. Pat White was never supposed to be an every down QB. Beck was overwhelmed at the next level. Rosen has the physical tools but seems to be missing something.
JMO, but I think Rosen lacks confidence from above… as in, nobody (a franchise) will back him 100%. And the longer this goes on, the worse it will become for a young QB’s confidence.
IMO, Rosen could become a QB who many slept on, only to become a decent/great QB in the future.
It’s called DCS* (Derek Carr Syndrome), ‘patented’ by yours truly, a very long time ago. Try to keep up, Krishna.
Keep up? I was commenting about the Rosen choice and how QBs, with experience of no OL and NFL speed, was not an arm chair GM decision I would have made by giving up draft capital. You?
Tim Knight would have, it seems. Keep up?
I’m just a “PUSSY” to you, Krishna. You should probably just ignore my comments.
Wow what a play by Herbert
Kinda why I’m not sold and never was sold on Tua starting from day one, no NFL speed experience, suspect OL (all new), and having Tua come of the gates with his fragility.
But, hey, when the opportunity presents itself, hope he is ready.
No rookie QB has NFL speed experience. But Tua played a lot of games against top notch college talent.
Though not great, our OL looks better today than it has in years.
Behind Alabama’s NFL-college OL. NO comparison, imo, but you can make that argument, if you care.
Krishna, I never pounded the table for Rosen or anything like that. All I did was react to why we did it. It didn’t set us back or anything.
I don’t think it “set us back”, just would not have made that call. Why can’t that be ok?
I don’t do my homework, but curious what else we could have done with pick. It’s about decisions and not one I would have made. That’s all.
Your opinion is fine. Just stating mine.
I pounded the table
Made sense at the time
I hope Rosen gets a chance somewhere

Hunt will be just fine!
See his first play above!
Buried Armstead!
I didn’t think we gave up too much draft capital for Rosen. It didn’t pan out probably because of the full out blow it up mode we where in but I thought it was worth the try.
He was worth a flier!
Exactly
Hey, Krishna
Last time I’d addressed you (until recently), was when I gave you my deepest condolences for the passing of your wife. I’m a very caring individual, and then you came back at me with vitriol.
What’s up with that, I ask? WHY is it that you HATE me? This is the second time I’m asking you this question, being you wouldn’t answer me the first time I’d asked.
You and I used to be friends! What happened?
Water off a ducks ass!
I wish, and that’s how it SHOULD be. But please allow Krishna to explain why he HATES me, in his own words.
Cryptic, as usual…lol. Or, I never get it…lol.
Doesn’t matter!
I’ve missed talking football with you!
He had the last year to talk football, and didn’t….hope you’ve made your point.
I’ve been good for so long!
I just want 1 friggen place that I can be free of BS!
Freedom’s just another word for nothing left to lose.
I haven’t found one yet
Piggy – Are you officially a Phish now? Pretty much. Bought a house down here. Boat is next. Be awhile before I am officially full time, but I’ll be here enough that it won’t make much of a difference. Coming back to Florida is a homecoming. I’m 7th generation, got the pioneer family certificate to prove it thanks to my aunt.
I was looking at real estate online in the keys today
I may be joining you as a snowbird in a couple years
Nice. I’m on Sugarloaf at least for now. Key West is too cramped and load for me. Plus price per square foot gets lower the further up key you go.
You should get a place in old town though. Then I have a place to crash if I can’t drive home.
Really like old town
But it’s pricey
You mean snowpig
Pretty good breakdown of the solid play up front on D by us (and a lot of SF miscues)

Ken – I’m with you on Murray. Defensive coordinators are are starting to dial in on his game.
I think he is the walking definition of a system QB
There’s only one person in this world that I would want to confront with my “hatred” (probably intense anger) mf13ss, and that is not you.
I have explained to you many times my exceptions to your off-football rhetoric. It is distasteful to me. I have always expressed that distaste to you so I don’t get what you don’t understand.
If you want to call it political, call it political. I think I see in you more than political rhetoric based on my definition, much more.
Did you ever see Game of Thrones? I just finished it Sunday AM. I thought it was pretty awesome. You remind me of one of the characters. I think we all have our work to do, especially me.
I am being nice, mf13ss. Let it go.
Piggy – Yah, Old Town is way pricey. Wee tiny places for 7 figures.
I’ve always loved Key West. Proposed to my wife there. Played HS baseball against Key West, biology club in the Keys….Hemingway and more. So cool.
I’m a big fan too. Only thing I don’t like about it is all the New Yorker and New England transplants.
Lol…yeah right.
Phelon
I’ll buy you a beer June 7th 2021
I will most likely be here. Should have my fishing boat by then.
Charter is set up already!
Hotel and plane tickets are purchased!
