Our Miami Dolphins (6-3) travel across the country to play the Denver Broncos (3-6). This Dolphins team has had one consistent thing going all year long, whether we won or lost on game day, it’s that’s the fact that this has been a well coached, well prepared team. The Dolphins are the 4th least penalized teams at 4.3 penalties per game and are 5th at penalty yards per game at 37.8 yards per game. It’s much more than the penalties though, it’s about getting the players to buy in to the program, and in that regard, Brian Flores has been excellent. The contract extension of DL Zach Sieler is an example. Sieler came from the Baltimore Ravens, a winning program and a perennially well run organization with excellent coaching provided by John Harbaugh. Sieler was originally a 7th RD pick that was discarded by the Ravens in 2019 after Week 4 and the Dolphins picked him up quickly. This year, Sieler got more playing time due to a season ending injury to DL Davon Godchaux and Sieler never looked back. Cultivating players like Sieler is just as important as grooming our young QB Tua Tagovailoa as after all, this is a team game.
The Dolphins remain in the top 10 on both offensive scoring (9th at 27.9 PPG) and defensive scoring (5th at 20.2 PPG). The win streak is now up to 5 games in a row as we take on yet another young QB, which will either be 1 year vet Drew Lock if he’s healthy enough to suit up, or rookie Brett Rypien. Which QB starts has yet to be determined at this writing. The Broncos are 28th in offensive scoring at 20.7 PPG and 27th in defensive scoring at 28.2 PPG. QB Tua Tagovailoa gets his 4th start after winning his first 3 contests. The Dolphins will likely get RB Matt Breida back this week but after a strong showing last week, RB Salvon Ahmed will most likely get the majority of the carries with Breida filling in as he had been doing for Myles Gaskin most of the season.
The Broncos bring a good RB tandem of Melvin Gordon and now healthy Phillip Lindsay, as well as a sprinkling from Royce Freeman. The ball has been spread around pretty evenly among the receivers, the leader is TE Noah Fant (35 receptions, 367 yards 2 TD’s), second is rookie WR Jerry Jeudy with 34 receptions for 552 yards and 2 TD’s and a heady 16.2 YPR, followed by WR Tim Patrick with 31 receptions for 444 yards and 3 TD’s. RB Melvin Gordon is the rushing leader with 439 yards and 4 TD’s but the more explosive and more dangerous back is Phillip Lindsay who has an impressive 5.5 YPC. On defense, the Broncos haven’t been effective stopping the run or any passing attack and are in the bottom 5 statistically in both. On the flip side, the Dolphins are just about mid pack in both categories but more importantly, as previously stated, are stingy when it comes to giving up points.
On the offensive line, it looks like Jesse Davis will be back at his usual RT position next to RG Solomon Kindley. Ted Karras remains the center next to LG Ereck Flowers and rookie LT Austin Jackson is back as well, returning a couple of weeks ago against the Cards. On the defensive line, I’m not sure whether DL Christian Wilkins will be able to return, if not the Dolphins will run with Zach Sieler, Raekwon Davis and Emmanuel Ogbah along with depth guys rookies Jason Strowbridge and Benito Jones. At LB, Shaq Lawson, Jerome Baker, Elandon Roberts, Andrew van Ginkel and thumbs up Kyle Van Noy round out the corps. Xavien Howard and Byron Jones make up one of the NFL’s best CB tandems along with slot CB Nik Needham. Rookie Noah Igbinoghene has been pulled back some and is usually in when the Dolphins employ multiple DB’s. The safeties are Eric Rowe and good ole Bobby McCain. I say keep Going with the Flo!
GO DOLPHINS!!!

Grrrr
I just realized that the Panthers and the Lions have the same uniforms
Do you think they’ll be upset to learn that there are no big cats that are either silver or blue and there was a whole bunch of colors to choose from?
Henry rolling
Is it better for us if the ravens win or the Titans?
Not sure but , guessing Pitt gets division, Tenn likely takes their div , so Balt in WC battle. Based on that , Go Titans
Forgot about the Colts.
No other way around
Splain ?
Better if Titans win
Bad throw by Tannehill but even worse play call
Browns Eagles is a shit show of a game
So you want the ravens to lose bc they are destined to be competing for a WC with us
Where on the other hand the Titans might win the south?
Make sense?
Exactly
Even though we are taking our division 🤡
Belicheck JR has a GREAT Mullett
Big 3rd down in the Texans Pets game. Texans get a TD o this drive, it’s lights out.
27-20 Texans
Titans driving, can take the lead with a TD.
Think Steelers just sealed their win. BOO
Titans in the red zone
Tanny planted
UGH!! Tanny fumbles the snap and takes a sack. Titans now have two plays to get 10 yds.
Woohoo!! Brown with a great play. Titans take the lead!
Wow Brown is a fighter
TD Titans
Tanny walks in on the 2 pt conversion. Looking good. Titans need one stop
Newton sucks. How did NE beat Miami?
Was our first preseason game 😊
^
Close to a fumble for Snead
Pats driving to tie 1:38 left
Titans D choking
Yep
Detroit With Stafford , Shut out by Carolina without Bridgewater
That team sucks
4th and 4 Pats
Titans defense holds off the TD. Looking like OT.
A tie might be good.
Pats do not convert. Texans ball
Still 1:11 to go though
23 secs

HA short in the Complete Hail Mary, time expired
Ballage Limps off
Should have kept it an ran.
Tua a little amped up on those throws
Balt punts
Davis
Jets blocked punt … Chargers still having issues with punting
I think their punter was basically pulled from a non-football job or something like that.
XXXXXX
X for MVP
LOL This D is fun to watch
We broke the officiating crew!
Titans better get a TD .. they have Gostkowski
Jets TD

Starting off strong on defense once again. The X-MAN strikes a again!!!!
Grant mans turn
Henry to the HOUSE
Thank you Titans
FUCK
Tua lucky again
Crap
Hold that thought
That is better
Still zero picks
Little fucker has a rabbits foot in his ass!
Gain of 7 it counts
Tua is way off today…..better settle down
Tua gets to feel the PAIN of an INT, but not have it on his stat sheet. 🙂
WOW
I will take the luck. Three games in a row with a should have been pick. Still no official pick. SMH
Tus seems to be a little excited today??????
Tua even!
That was nice
Tua throws a great fade
Red Zone accuracy baby. THAT’s why Tua replaced Fitz
Nice!!!!
Great weather for game in Denver. whew.
Go Vikes !! < Survivor pick
Interceptions that don’t actually count and end up being a TD in your favor is why we sacrifice pork
Let’s take a moment to remember the bacon
TD!!!!
Chargers fumble at the Jets one
Chargers cough it up at the goal line
Lite beer
I am buying a Molson you Canuck
C’mon man….at least spring for a Moose Head!
Ugly Vikes jerseys
how was that not holding
Right ?
Chargers Pick six
Shhhhhhhhhh, I don’t want the football gods to hear, I think I like the Defense… SHhhhhhhh
Small sip
Chargers wanted Flacco to throw the TD! 😉
50 F and fans are wearing gloves ?? Wimps
Is that true?
We are +56 om the first QT!!!!!
We need a little dink and dunk to settle Tua down!
Ahmed questionable to return shoulder .. go Breida
TBH, Tua not looking that good so far despite the nice TD pass.
Holding again
Tua is WAY off…..maybe he needs to get smacked in the mouth and settle down.
Lock is starting to look exasperated already. LOL
Cousins strip sacked
Ballage is back if anyone cared 🧐
TD Cowboys 🤬
I wonder if Van Noy’s hip is going to be a liability. He got moved out of the gap pretty easily on that long run. He didn’t even try to fill the gap.
Man our D have them jumping at ghosts
Man, this defense HUSTLES
Is it 2nd and 22 now
Tua down and Tua Tua
Nicely done
That play brings back ghosts of Gase gone by
Ughhh
chargers TD
Crap. K Tua get yer shit together
Run D is too soft
They had a Cox throw a blox on that TD
Looks like we are being a little to cute!
Well, that was enough to make me put down the koolaide
Ewwww he got twisted weirdly
Tua looks very indecisive.
Broncos play in the NFL.
