Defense was the story last week as the Dolphins played their best game of 2020 with a total and complete dismantling of the San Francisco 49ers. QB Jimmy Garoppolo probably wished he waited one more week to come back, and I’d bet HC Kyle Shanahan wishes he didn’t put Jimmy G. in either because he clearly looked like he wasn’t ready to play. The Dolphins defense hounded Jimmy G. and his wobbly ankle yielded wobbly throws and he was unable to escape the rush which was heavy all day. 5 sacks total to boost the yearly total to 14 sacks. Don’t spit on that guys, that’s a legit improvement from last season where we managed a season’s total of 23. Our current pace for sacks put us at 45, which is unlikely, but either way puts us close to doubling last year’s output. The rush came from everywhere, inside with Elandon Roberts, Jerome Baker and Zach Sieler and outside with Van Ginkle and Ogbah. Add in 3 turnovers, 2 INT’s (Xavien Howard) and 1 fumble recovery (Christian Wilkins) and it was great day for the defense.
Now on to the offense which by the way, also came to play. Ryan Fitzpatrick threw for 350 yards with 3 TD’s and zero INT’s. The run game was merely a complement, Myles Gaskin rushed 16 times for 57 yards and 1 TD and they sprinkled in a little of Breida and a rush or two from Bowden and Grant. RB Jordan Howard was healthy scratch. Now there is talk of the possibility of the Dolphins signing former Steeler and Jets RB Le’Veon Bell. At the moment of this writing, Bell has narrowed it down to 3 teams, the Bills, Chiefs and Dolphins. Does adding Le’Veon Bell make us a playoff contender? I suppose it depends on how we use him. The 2 RB’s we acquired in the offseason are basically spectators to the Myles Gaskin show. Breida and Howard have 114 yards rushing combined on 35 caries while Gaskin has 64 carries and 249 yards rushing. Bell looked anything but a top tier back in NY this season and last night but i9njuries have hampered him. He has only 19 carries this season and really is quite far removed from the elite RB he was in Pittsburgh all the way back in 2017. Personally, I’d say he was more of a product of that offense, having a great run blocking O-line, also catching passes from Roethlisberger when plays broke down and having WR’s Antonio Brown (in his prime) along with Martavis Bryant . So many times Big Ben extended the play and found Bell for a hige gain because the field was cleared out by Brown and Bryant and JuJu Smith-Schuster. Is it possible he’s that same player? I wouldn’t bet on it.
The Dolphins will play a late game this week (4PM) due to COVID-19 rescheduling. The Jets come in to Miami at a low point of their season. They are 32nd in scoring at 15 PPG and 32nd in defense allowing 32.2 PPG. Just dreadful. Last week we beat a team not at their best, and we put our foot on their neck. We need to do the same this week. Yes, the Jets cut Le’Veon Bell but may be getting 2 receivers back, Breshad Perriman (ankle) and Denzel Mims (IR hamstring). Both WR’s would be a boost to an anemic Jets offense that has featured Jamison Crowder, Chris Hogan, Braxton Berrios and TE Chris Herndon. Sam darnold has had a difficult season to say the least, the O-line pass protection has been leaky and he doesn’t really have a reliable receiver to throw to. He’s been sacked 12 times and has thrown 3 TD’s against 4 INT’s. HC Adam Gase is beyond dead man walking, yet this is a game if the guy has any juice left that he would try to get his team to compete in. Right now the Jets have to be included as a favorite to land next year’s prized possession in the NFL Draft, QB Trevor Lawrence and a win could put that in jeopardy as the hapless Atlanta falcons share an 0-5 record.
LB Kyle Van Noy is questionable to play this week with a groin injury. He played last week against the Niners but that’s a tough injury to play through. Sam Eguavoen would replace Van Noy if he can’t go. We also lost DT Davon Godchaux with a torn biceps and this should give DT Raekwon Davis a lot more snaps along with Brandon Sieler who has been fantastic in a Dolphins uniform. Sieler has played 38% of the snaps this season already and I expect that will increase significantly this week with Godchaux out. Mike Gesicki finally was more involved in the offense and I hope that continues. He averaged over 18 YPC last week on 5 receptions so we need to keep feeding him the ball. I honestly don’t expect Bell to be a Miami Dolphins, my guess is the Bills. Either way, hope we make the right decision.
GO DOLPHINS!!!

Especially bs the jests
What if the schedule wasn’t modified and we had that 2 weeks in a row vs the jests thing
That would have been the best stretch in the history of Dolphins football
Generally speaking yesterday
I though we missed a lot of opportunities
Against a team like the jests, that will still get you a shutout
But that won’t work against teams that are a little bit better
It’s nice to come away from a win and still have a ton to work on
Also, as much as I respect Fitz. I’m ready for Tua now. I trust Flores and won’t second guess him – but I don’t think Fitz play has been so good lately
Who cares? You don’t have to put it the effort it takes to win 50-0, if you do you’ll be worn down, when you play the better teams.
I hate the saying that won’t work against better teams like they don’t know that and would do that against better teams. It’s why teams play to the level of competition.
One other thing I noted yesterday
I can’t believe how bad Gase has made the jests
They weren’t good before Gase
But man, what are they doing?
That offense is so bad
It looks like what he did here in Miami too
Why did he try the same stuff that didn’t work in Miami
He got a 2nd chance to start fresh
And he chose to do all the stuff that didn’t work again…
Wtf
Wahoo!!!!!! Game Week!!!!!!!!
https://twitter.com/wyo_football/status/1317601331809431553?s=20
For now
We will all have to settle with images like these
We are good at something!
It’s been so long!
tua had some good passes
2 for 2 and 9 yards doesn’t make a very good tattoo though
Tua is now only 78,737 yards away from breaking Drew Brees career passing yardage record
😜
Congrats Herd!

Your ranked #22 now!
You guys do realize Darnold us their starting QB and he was out right? I mean you have to give that to Gase, but yeah Gase is a horrible guy to have in charge.
Flacco was terrible and should retire.
Having Bryon Jones back is making a huge difference. Having one shutdown CB is great but having two is more than twice as good. With just one the QB just throws to the other side.
If you watched the game yesterday, Flacco missed a wide open Perriman TWICE early on. He burned Jones and if Flacco was accurate they would have had a TD. Once he underthrew him allowing Jones to get back and the other throw I think may have been out of bounds, but he had a shot.
To me at least definition of shutdown isn’t that the guy never gets burned. It is that he is so good that you will let him go one-on-one with receivers and leave it at that.
Now they just throw to whoever Needham is covering.
Still not sure why that isn’t Iggy now. What he was drafted for.
Having 2 shutdown CBs changes the entire dynamics of what Flores is trying to do, he can blitz more and have the other 9 guys open to do whatever (open the playbook).
I thought Tua’s first throw was a dart. Nice throw to Laird.
It was a great throw, it was just for so little yardage no one cares
Also he was upset with himself after the throw. I think he was thinking he waited too long to make the throw
Victory Monday!
The day before victory TUA-sday
Tua was Tua for Tua with Tua yds on his first throw.
You need to refine that, what’s with the word first in there? On his Tua play.
lol, almost there

—————————————————
More like I’m scared to be optimistic Monday! 😉
No shit, we really haven’t beaten anyone. A depleted 49ers team and 2 bottom dwellers.
LOL, we’ve been burned so many times in the last couple of decades. This time really does feel different though.
Was Gesicki held without a catch yesterday? Not that it matters, but I don’t remember him making a single play.
Yes
This has been happening too often IMO. Sometimes Gesicki isn’t getting separation or Fitz is looking elsewhere but too often he’s not allowing Gesicki to make a play on the ball. He’s definitely not targeting him much at all.
I think it’s a Fitz or a playcalling thing. He was known as a non friendly OC to TEs, even though Shaheen and Smythe ate yesterday.
I really don’t care who makes the play. Do you want Gesicki to make a great play 60% of the time its thrown to him or the other 2 getting wide open chances?
2 targets
0 Receptions
Beat the Niners to get people’s attention.
Beat the Jest to show you can win when you’re supposed to.
Beat the Rams to show you belong in the playoff conversation.
I would add in that our three losses showed we can at least run with good teams….. but now we have to show we can beat them. Rams might do that.
Yep, we really should have beaten Seattle.
The Bills are the only team that whooped us pretty good. The game wasn’t as close as the score. But we played without Jones, and it was his guy Diggs that really ate us up. I expect a much better game from us in the rematch.
Tua was Tua for Tua with Tua yards on play Tua.
There ya go, Steve 😉
Aiight🤐
Tua-riffic
Aaron Donald coming up
Rams play Monday night against the Bears, so we get an extra week to prepare for them, and they are on a short week against us.
55-54-1 all time vs jets, they lead.
It might have been Tua great throws
But let’s not get Tua ahead of ourselves
Standings from a division you won’t see on ESPN
Brady 4-2
Evil One 2-3
4 of the Rams wins came against the NFC East.
Yeah, I saw that strange scheduling and stat last week. We really don’t know who the Rams are yet, but they should’ve beaten Buffalo. Lost on a homer PI call, just like the Rams beat Dallas on.
I think Miami will be in every game they play. I expect the playoffs.
In last nights game they tried to give the Rams a fumble recovery, that they returned to the SF 10. The runner was touched and gave himself up before the ball was on the ground, ruled fumble on field. NFL rang the official saying to take another look. Ball was given back to SF.
Were the real Rams on display last night? Not likely. Did we face the real 49ers? No, I think they’re somewhere in between.
Tua only threw 2 passes, but he showed what he can do against pressure and they were both right on the money and just the same as his college days. Fitz tends to get wild when he loses focus.
2 passes Like he threw aren’t enough to evaluate him on, but I’d still start him against the Rams.
I’m pretty sure we aren’t going to make any noise in the playoffs, if we get in with Fitz. With Tua? We might, because he may be pretty good come playoff time, if he can get us there.
Fitz is too inconsistent.
After the last two games think it is hard to bench Fitzpatrick, whatever the playoff ramifications. It’s not fantasy football…. he’s the clear leader of the O.
Tua weeks to get him ready for the Rams
Somebody mentioned yesterday (6:08pm) that Grant was having a solid day
After last week’s chit show…bout time he did something.
OUCH!
The Yets are bad, but I’ll take any win in the division. Still a lot of inconsistent execution from this team. Plenty of work left to do. I don’t see a playoff caliber team but who knows? Enjoy a win…keep working and move on.
First shutout since 2014……. something to enjoy. But yeah still a raw team. Could make the playoffs but probably won’t. One of those teams that is in the conversation come December.
Kill joy…pissin’ in my Wheaties…
Nice to see Raekwon Davis in there. We are going to need him.
Shows you they don’t know how to grade. X gets an int and the pair with Jones had very few yards and catches against. SMH.

Your ranked #22 now!
Yes!! Thank you for noticing. The Herd is playing well, exceptionally so considering our former starting QB left somewhat unexpectedly over the summer and we have a redshirt freshman starting and doing an amazing job.
We play FAU this Saturday, I’m sure OD will have something to say about it this week.
I’ve watched most of 3 of the games!
Your D is nasty!!
Does Gase still have a job today? I really don’t care all that much, not even enough to google it myself.
As of now. Their next 3 games are Bills, Chiefs and Pats. Gase makes it through those without a win and owner is only keeping Gase around as his fixer/loser on the #1 draft spot.
Lawrence should refuse to go to the Jets if they draft him.
There will be a new coach with a new vision by then.
Still the Jets
“we can’t f—ing wait until it’s the fourth quarter to f—ing want to start playing ball, man.”
— Frank Gore…. who wish we’d kept btw.
I like him where he’s at. No one will use him as much as Gase will. Once Gase is fired, expect to see Gore on the bench the rest of his career.
Just always liked the guy and he is 37 after all. Would still take him as a 3rd back in the stable.
Raekwon injured his shoulder, did he come back in the game after that? I didn’t notice
Grugier-Hill returned after his injury, but I’m pretty sure Davis did not.
It was late in the 4th Q. Doesn’t mean wasn’t serious, but also might mean they just called it a day for him.
Dolphins are one of four teams who have not lost a fumble this year.
At least we won’t get one this week.

I don’t think Randy knows what he just wrote. When you can win 24-0 and have lots of inconsistent execution you must be a pretty good team. We’ve done just that in 3 blowout wins. In years past with no talent we had to play perfect or close to it to win.
Dolphins have the 10th easiest schedule the rest of the season.
Hmmm, what happened to that killer schedule they projected for us?
But I still think its a tough schedule, it’s not about w/l record of the teams you’re going to be playing. The cheats are tougher than 2-3, the Bill’s are tough, Rams, Raiders, Chiefs…
Yeah, I don’t really think SOS means much. So much about each individual matchup comes down to when you are playing someone and what is going on with the team on that given week.
I.e. Any other week of the season we probably lose to the Niners or at the very least have a much tougher game.
e.g.
Dolphins are tied for 7th in penalties per game at 4.7, which is down from 5.8 in 2019.
We had 5 penalties on Sunday for only 25 yds.
Team is much better run than years past but we still have a lot of young guys trying to figure things out. I don’t think we are playoff caliber yet but with the added spot this year, we may slide in. I don;t see us making any noise if we do but it would be nice to accomplish.
These blowouts help the refs side with us more often with their BS calls. That’s a definite positive moving forward.
The cheats and LAC are the only 2 teams on the jets schedule with a losing record. I see 0-16.
steve,
Around here, it doesn’t matter what you write. You just wait for a dozen people to tell you what they say you wrote and why it’s wrong. Lol
Lol
LMAO, what a wonderfully accurate and succinct way to describe it. Perfect comment.
Did anyone else notice yesterday in the game when they showed a close up of Gase and were playing “These Eyes” I think as they were going to a break? I was laughing my ass off.
Yes!!! I heard it, was laughing here as well. 🙂
😂😂😂
I mentioned that to my wife too. We were cracking up
Sounds like it was setup.
I’ve tried using the logic in the past of this team I hate has some blowout wins, but they haven’t beaten anyone yet. If you’re blowing multiple teams out in the NFL and aren’t getting blown out, you have a good team.
What if we had beaten the cheats making the 1-4, they would be in the group of we haven’t beaten anyone yet, and buffalo too after they lose to the Chiefs they would’ve been 3-3.
The good thing is, this isn’t college football, really doesn’t matter what anyone else thinks, or who you beat, or by how much, everything is decided on the field, ultimately. I think the other stuff can just be used as a gauge on progress…IMO
I don’t know about the rest of you?
I needed a laugh! 😉
That’s a crusher for me. Have lots of respect for the guy…. or at least used too. He’s real smart, but then guess smart doesn’t always mean something isn’t lurking below.
I didn’t post it as a shot at him!
That’s just so 2020!!!!!!!!
You didn’t need to post it as a shot at him…….. the facts speak for themselves. I’m left with WTF was Toobin doing on that Zoom call?
So that’s his response, he didn’t know the camera was on🤔
So the guy was on a zoom call, when he did it. I thought he was out in public. Doesn’t make it much better, just creepier.
Have to assume he stood up at some point, but who does a zoom bottom half naked? Seems you at least have boxers on.
Texans remaining schedule:
GB, JAX, CLE, NE, DET, IND, CHI, IND, CIN, TEN
I see several, too many, winnable games there. They have one of the hardest schedules remaining though.
I don’t get that concerned about it. Yeah it’s fun to root for the higher pick but we’ll see what happens. It will still be a quality pick regardless.
Jax, Det & Cin arent very good teams
The rest of that schedule though…
My prediction for the outcome of their season: 4-12
Not a good record but the other side of that coin is that there are a lot of bad teams
The Texans aren’t good right now either but with 10 games left for the most part someone has to win and someone has to lose, so they can’t all finish with horrible records. There’s a lot of football that has to be played.
hopefully shitty football by the Texans
On the Toobin thing, you would be surprised how many people are struggling their virtual world conferences
A family court judge told me a couple of weeks ago, that one of the attorneys in a virtual conference stood up to state his appearance and was wearing tighty whities
Standing up is customary when you state your appearance to the court on the record
But I guess he miscalculated where the frame of his screen ends and begins
Also on Toobin – lmao and why was he pulling his dick out just off screen anyway…wtf
It out!
This is all too funny
Pig — was thinking you would be a fan of the no pants thing. 🙂
Even I am smart enough to wear shorts for the virtual conference, just in case….
Yeah but did Piggy share his computer screen on Zoom with a list of the 7 Samurai according to Piggy? LOL
Came close once
Once🤔
This is some high level coaching…and he’s done it before.
https://www.msn.com/en-us/sports/nfl/mike-vrabels-ingenious-hack-gave-the-titans-time-to-tie-then-beat-the-texans/ar-BB1abawM?li=BBnb7Kz
Maybe the opposing coach needs to be smart enough to decline the penalty. There’s lots of game stopping hacks that can be done, that maybe needs to be unloopholed by the league. The ones I hate are when the officiating crew creates their own hack for the cheats. I’ve seen it several times.
I think it was Vrabel that used one on belicheat last year. 4th down ball on about the cheats 40 and their opponent was punting, but kept running the clock with delay of game penalties, and ran off about an extra minute and a half. Belicheat was pissed.
Vrabel did that in the playoff game against the cheats. It was amusing because Belicheat used it earlier in the year and kind of brought it to everyone’s attention. Then it went against him when it mattered. They changed that rule this year to stop teams from doing it.
In regards to opposing coaches declining the penalty. I don’t think declining is the smart move. Not a lot of coaches are going to decline a penalty that gives them a first down. Even in 2nd and short, nothing is a gimme. You lose a yd or two on 2nd, suddenly it’s 3rd and middling, and you end up with a FG instead of a TD.
It’s more about Vrabel just maximizing every possible opportunity in that scenario. The Texans still should have won, but Vrabel gave his team a better chance and they capitalized.
Go Chiefs!
Wow early start
They’re playing now in case you didn’t know.
Snap counts OL
OL Jesse Davis 56 (100%)
OL Ereck Flowers 56 (100%)
OL Ted Karras 56 (100%)
OL Robert Hunt 56 (100%)
OL Solomon Kindley 55 (98%)
OL Adam Pankey 4 (7%)
The OL talent is better this year and so is the coaching.
Go Chiefs
Does anyone know what’s up with Jordan Howard?
Last week it was the scheme.
Haven’t heard what was up this week?
My suspicion is Gaskins runs Harder and gives more effort!
Last I heard, he signed with the Dolphins back in March…
I think it’s as simple as he wasn’t producing
Howard has some wear and tear on him. Maybe he lost a step that is significant.
They’re saving Jordan Howard for the playoffs
We have a weird history with RB’s. Guys like Lamar Miller and Kenyan Drake that we decided can’t be a bellcow back and then they go elsewhere and become that. Then we sign a bellcow back for $10M and start the previous year’s 7th RD pick and the guy we trade a 5th RD pick for also gets very limited playing time. It is strange, and it’s not ll the same regime either.
I don’t think Lamar Miller or Kenyan Drake are good examples. Neither really have been bell cows for more than a moment or a season. But yes our commitment to the running game under Philbin and Gase was not good. Ricky Williams, and Lamar Smith for a season were bell cows. I don’t see it as a weird thing other than our team has not been built right for a long time.
MikeE,
We’re saving Howard for our big playoff run. 👍
Maybe we know who Breida was and finding out who Gaskin is.
Sorry, but that goes for both Breida anf Howard.
My point is, unless Gaskin gets less than 10 yards on first down, he’s doing just fine imo and no reason to sub.
Flores evaluates production not money paid.
Enough of the running BS KC you need a score.
They’ve running all day.
And they started throwing and moved the ball into FG range and put the game out of reach.
Ballgame thank you Chiefs
Shhhhh, don’t tell anyone… the Dolphins are coming, the Dolphins are coming.
1 game out of first place in AFC east at 3-3. Nice.
Hopefully, a week rest, new energy for next 10.
Oh we coming
Careful Mr Toobin
L Pats 21-11
L Bills 31-28
W Jags 31-13
L Hawks 31-23
W 49ers 43-17
W Jets 24-0
It’s okay. 🙂
It’s a start…nothing to be ashamed of. Grow from it.
Absolutely!
0-5 Hulk looking good to upset 5-0 Mike E
Hulk smash!
You putting a good smash on him yep
Murray can’t throw
Looks like Allen earlier. Good RB.
I think Allen was much better passer even as a rookie but Murray is a better runner
What I liked about Flores putting Tua in there at the end of the game was; it was somewhat risky being deep in our own end, but the clock was winding down at 24-0 and they had the confidence as coaches to do it in that situation. Tua handled it well, nothing special. Now if he has to play, that first moment is over. 🙂
He did handle as the Jets were going to fuck t him if they could. He whacked me out with the release and then left handed. I was wtf was that?
I might be ready. Lol!
Who’s better drake or gaskin
I think the only 2 guys I wasn’t happy about losing based purely on their talent were Tunsil and Fitzpatrick. But, I had no problem with either trade. I believe it was best for the long term plans for this team. One guy just didn’t want to be here and the other brought a fortune. Everybody else we let go….cya. And, like it or not, when you go scorched Earth, you probably gotta give up a little to start over and actually build a team as quickly as possible.
We’re past that. Live in the now, man! LOL
Ken : I thought Allen looked way off target tonight. And I don’t blame the rain
I didn’t see most of the game tonight so I cannot overall I think he is pretty decent passer
Jordan Phillips causes a fumble and Kenyon Drake scores a TD go Phin…oh wait a minute
Tim,
Settle down Cheech! Ya know, we’ve been chatting for decades, and sometimes I still wonder if you actually read my damn texts. Lol
I did the LOL, man. I never got a text from you by the way. LOL
I’m just BB/JK. We’re all watching the same thing.
I know some of you thought
After shutting out the jets 24-0
Going forward, Piggy will only post things about the Dolphins winning
You were wrong
I present to you: Japanese Dunkaccino commercial
Wow that was a sweet ass throw
That was a nice throw by Murray
Screw both teams!
Tim,
I actually picture you as more like Chong, so I never want to meet you in person to see the real you because I love Tommy Chong. Lol
***
I saw the “Lol”, but I said what you said!!! Lol
***
Seriously though….I’ve said I have liked what I’ve seen the past few weeks. I don’t have high expectations right now. I want to see them compete, play with energy and execute. Execution doesn’t always mean success, but I still want to see consistent execution. Sometimes the other teams will win the individual battles but execution can still be there. I’d like to see more, but I like the direction this team seems to be heading. I think we still need some personnel improvements, but we’re getting there.
LOL
Thank you for saying all that in a text.
Just a random thought….is OD ok?
Rays in WS and not a peep.
KRISHNA: I’m OK but my wife is not. She was supposed to be released from the hospital Saturday. Well, here we are late Monday Night and she’s still there. She needs a series of physical therapy treatments because her leg with the knee replacement is not yet strong enough to support her. Can’t get out of bed. Can’t go to shower, etc., etc. And since I’m post-op for a double hernia I AM NOT ABLE TO HELP HER VERY MUCH.
We’re waiting on the insurance company to see if they’ll cover her for transfer to a physical therapy facility. NOBODY seems to know WHEN the Gods will rule on this. But we hope it is SOON! Meanwhile, my honey is stuck in this surgical hospital! And we’re very busy at work. But, hey, no one said life was EASY, especially THIS OLD ARMY VETERAN!!! So we wait and hope.
————————-
I’ve alternately gone ape shit over the RAYS in the World Series AND the Dolphins shutting out the hated Jets! I believe I’m the only member of this board who ATTENDED the last Dolphins shutout of the Jets. It happened when the Dolphins won the AFC Championship Game in (where else?) the Historic Orange Bowl 14-0 in a quagmire!! The trip to Super Bowl 17 was a trip I’ll never forget, even tho’ the Fins were edged out by the Redskins at the Rose Bowl in Pasadena. David Woodley threw a 70-yard touchdown bomb to Jimmy Cefalo on the first play from scrimmage!! Woodley would complete ONLY 3 MORE PASSES THE ENTIRE GAME!! Ahhh–if we’d ONLY had Dan Marino at THIS GAME!!
———————–
The 0 and 3 start seems like a distant memory, doesn’t it?? Some of us, however, didn’t give up on the season. NOW, with 3 straight blowout victories, the Fins are in 2nd Place just 1 game behind BEEFALO!!! I can’t tell you how HAPPY I AM to be AHEAD OF NEW ENGLAND in the standings!!
I said the Dolphins would be a legitimate playoff contender THIS SEASON!! Get ready, Dolfans. —-
THE BEST IS YET TO COME (barring devastating injuries).
I hope many of you will keep my wife in your thoughts. Thank you all!
Wishing Mrs. OD the best.
You know I will OD….be strong as I know you are. She is your rock.
You are her rock!
Wishing Mrs. OD the best as well!
On to football, the media is such garbage. Looking at discussions for the week, the Jets allowing Gase to coach them down for L:awrence is a smart, calculated idea. Good for them!! When Miami played poorly for a new coach against playoff caliber games in his first 4 games, Miami must be PUNISHED for TANKING!
Jets dump some elite starting level talent? Something’s not right but at least they can get Lawrence!
Miami trades off players for a load of draft picks? They are TANKING! PUNISH THEM!
The bias is overt and sickening…just like national media on just about all topics. Propagandists of the worst sort. I don’t mind seeing ESPN lose lots of staff and I hope to see more of it across the country.
My wife is going to kill me because I point out the bias each and every day. This Biden Burisma story should be covered just as much as the Trump/Russia collusion, yet the media won’t give it a second. Did they have any proof and did they find anything with Trump, of course not, but they sullied him nonetheless. Why not let Biden get a little dirty now? They can’t do it, he’s their fucking (sleepy) white knight in shining armor against the bad orange man.
I guess you missed the news dump where there WERE Connections as per the GOP lead Senate panel. But just keep parroting the company lies man.
here is the actual report from the GOP lead Senate panel that says, GEE it was true

What I did notice about Tua was he ran about 10 yards away after each handoff away from the action. They probably told him don’t take any unnecessary hits so he made sure he got out of Dodge each and every time he could. I just rewatched it last night because it was cool!
Kong – Follow up on “The Sinner”. The 1st season actually was very good once it got going. The 2nd season wasn’t bad, but the 1st season was kinda riveting after the first couple of episodes. Now we’re watching “Away” with Hilary Swank and Josh Charles. Just OK at best through a couple of episodes.
OD – Best wishes to you and the Mrs.
MY SINCERE thanks to all of you for your kind words of support. WE are hoping the insurance company makes a decision TODAY so that we can get my wife the physical therapy she so desperately needs. Sometimes our medical system doesn’t work so well.

OFF TO WORK! Mrs. OD and I love all U guyz and galz!!!
My thoughts are with you and yours OD!
A lot of the numbers, especially on D look good through 6 games. We’ve had some key players out too. The next man up has done his job, but that’s what our D is designed for, other than the CBs, everyone else is just a scheme fit.
On O we seem to go as Fitz takes us, some games good and we get a blowout, some not so good and we lose. I expect to see more consistency once Tua starts playing, less highs and lows initially, then highs mixed in with good play.
On his first pass Tua looked fast to the outside avoiding the pressure, then throwing a short strike. He appeared to go thru his progressions on his 2nd pass, and anything but a strike would’ve resulted in not getting the 1st down.
The future is bright, go Fins.
OD, good luck tonight, but not too much😉
OD, I was supposed to go to the14-0 win over the jets in 1982, but was sick, so I stayed home. I believe it was a rainy day and AJ Duhe had 3 picks.
OD:
All the best to Mrs OD(and you) for a speedy recovery.
Sounds like he’s going to be traded. There’s going to be some team who lost a RB that might be willing to give up a late pick for him.
Rock – If any of this Biden stuff is true, and I’d be willing to bet a certain amount of it is, the media still wants no part of it. That’s my point Rock, they pick and choose what to grab onto and run with and what to sweep away because they don’t like it.
Positive vibes out to you and the missus, OD.
Mike, glad you guys ended up liking the Sinner. I still thought it was meh. I’m working my way through the 2nd season of The Boys right now. I have Away in my list of shows to watch. It looked interesting. You’ll have to let me know if it picks up.
Sinner really became interesting in Season 1, what happened to her. Pullman was pretty good as well. He’s good in Season 2 also, the kid was really good.
