Week 14 – Chiefs @ Dolphins

What a job these 4 guys have this weekend. Our X-Men, led by Xavien Howard, along with Byron Jones, Eric Rowe and Bobby McCain. This game goes way beyond just these 4 players but they will have their hands full this week with Patrick Mahomes throwing to WR Tyreek Hill, TE Travis Kelce, and to a lesser extent, WR’s Mecole Hardman and Sammy Watkins, as well as RB’s Clyde Edwards-Helaire and Le’Veon Bell. It’s going to take a monumental effort to keep this offense in check. The Chiefs come in as the 2nd ranked scoring offense at 30.8 PPG and #6 in scoring defense allowing only 21.2 PPG. The Chiefs have a +116 point differential. The teams that gave the Chiefs the most trouble were the Chargers, Bills, Bucs and Broncos, and of course their lone loss in a shootout with the LV Raiders. I consider that game the anomaly, and I think if we have a course to victory, it’s closer to the way the other teams played them.

This Week 14 game is one of the most exciting times for Dolphins fans in recent history. Yes, in 2016 were 7-5 coming off a demoralizing loss to the Baltimore Ravens (38-6) and we defeated the Arizona Cardinals 28-25 led by Carson Palmer. This is different, way different. I didn’t feel anything like I do now, having a legitimate confidence in our team. We relied on a strong running game with Jay Ajayi and play action from Ryan Tannehill (sound’s like Tennessee eh?) Both our offense and defense were less than midpack. This 2020 team is different. We have a young exciting defense who happens to be #2 in the NFL in points allowed at 17.7 PPG. Our offense is exactly 16th but I have more confidence in this group because it’s a more well rounded offense. If anything, our run game has been a supplement to our passing game. This is Tua’s biggest game as a starter and I feel like he will rise to the occasion. What a game this is, the excitement is tenable. Too bad we couldn’t fill up Hard Rock for this one, I would love to see a raucous stadium pulling for our guys.

This KC offense which is #1 in the NFL in yardage has evolved as most teams do during a season. In the first 6 games they really featured RB CEH (Clyde Edwards-Helaire), but more recently, his role has really been reduced. CEH has an average of 37.4 yards rushing and only 11.4 yards receiving over his last 5 games. For some contrast, CEH averaged 84.1 yards rushing and 29.5 yards receiving in the first 6 games. The one player who has benefited most from this is WR Tyreek Hill. Hill has seen high double digit targets most of the last 5 games and his numbers are astronomical. Hill has 640 yards receiving in the last 5 games which is good for 128 yards per game and he has 8 TD’s. That’s just outrageous. If only Tyreek Hill was all we had to worry about. Travis Kelce also has surged during the last 5 games while CEH has been scaled back. Kelce is right behind Tyreek Hill with 613 yards receiving over the last 5 which is good for 122.6 yards per game. Now as we know, things evolve, and if we look to just shut down Hill and Kelce, another person will emerge, and with CEH, Sammy Watkins, Mecole Hardman and even Le’Veon Bell, there are many candidates.

On defense, the Chiefs don’t excel in any one area but they do have a couple of very good players to watch out for. On the DL, Chris Jones is still getting it done with 5.5 sacks and in their secondary, the Honey Badger SS Tyrann Mathieu lurks with 5 INT’s along with FS Daniel Sorensen who has 3 INT’s. Mathieu plays very smart and Tua will have to be careful of him. The starting corners are Bashaud Breeland and Charvarius Ward.

I don’t have an injury report yet for Sunday other than a lot of our guys were limited in practice. Key guys to keep an eye on are LG Ereck Flowers who went out with an ankle sprain. Also, LB Kyle Van Noy has that bad hip along with LB Elandon Roberts who came out with a chest injury last week. Jesse Davis will likely fill in at LG and Solomon Kindley will man the RG spot next to RT Robert Hunt. Sam Eguavoen, Calvin Munson and Kamu Grugier-Hill will fill in for Roberts and Van Noy if they are unable to go. Tua is a go for this one and has apparently ditched the thumb brace. Matt Breida is on COVID-19 but still might be available, and Salvon Ahmed is still dealing with a bad shoulder. I’m not sure where DeAndre Washington is at with his hamstring, he did practice on a limited basis which is a good sign. Myles Gaskin appears to be 100% but he will need help in the backfield other than just Patrick Laird who garnered only 5 touches.

I think this is such an interesting game and my perspective on it changes often. Sometimes I think like we’re playing with house money in this one, we’re not expected to win by any of the experts so if we lose like 10 of the other 11 teams that played them did there’s no shame in that. Part of me wants to think that enough of that loser mentality, we belong here at 8-4 and they play in our house and you know what, our defense is the kind of defense that can match up well against them because we have the talent in the secondary to defend their guys. Our X-Men back there might just give Patrick Mahomes a tough day and if we can find a way to turn him over a couple of times and turn those into scores we can upset the Chiefs. It’s not silly talk either, it’s possible. If I’m being honest, the one thing that worries me is our offense. Will we be able to run the ball effectively and will Tua be up to the task of giant slaying on Sunday. He did it against Arizona which to me is the closest equivalent. He led the team back for the win in that game and maybe has to do that against the Chiefs. All I know is, I haven’t looked forward to a Week 14 Miami Dolphins game with such excitement and happiness since, well, I have no idea really . . .

GO DOLPHINS!!!

    Man Newton blows. He is a shadow of his former self
    *********************
    He always blew, he had one really good year and the rest of his career was just MEH. I think one of the most overrated and overhyped players in the NFL. Besides his MVP year he was an average to less than average passer.

    • Mike E.'s avatar Mike E. says:

      Seriously, any QB who doesn’t even have a 2:1 TD/INT ratio can never be considered great. At least Kirk Cousins has a better than 2:1 ratio. Maybe Cousins deserves more love and Cam deserves less. My friends who are really into football were all sucking on Cam’s dick when the Patriots picked him up and I Dolphinsplained to them that he actually sucks, and he’s basically always sucked and they laughed at me. Who laughing now MuthaFer!!!

      • Mike E.'s avatar Mike E. says:

        I want to add that I mean in this era of football, not back when Marino played. Now you can’t look at the QB funny and you can’t hit the receiver, different game.

    so last season a pair of geese decided that the pond in my back yard was a good place for them to move year round (they didn’t migrate away). They are noisy and obnoxious and start their screaming calls every morning about dawn.

    They made a nest and had a brood. Now there are 8 fucking geese screaming their lungs out on my roof and in my back yard every morning. I called the wild life office to find out what I can do about the freaking nuisances and I was told that they are protected by international treaty and to do anything about removing them I need to get a permit from the Federal Gov.

    I don’t know about all that! I hate these freaking birds! I am going to look up what the fine is if I get caught destroying the nests and them make up my mind on what to do. They went from two annoying bastards to eight in one season. If I have 64 geese here next season I will lose my mind!

  5. Rockphin's avatar Rockphin says:

    You guys need to stop attacking ORob!

  6. Rockphin's avatar Rockphin says:

    LOL @ “Dolphinsplained “

  7. Rockphin's avatar Rockphin says:

    Well the fine is up to 6 months in jail and $15,000 for EACH occurrence.

    I might be looing into that federal permit afterall! HOLY F*CK Batman!

    I’ve always found a shotgun works best. Then it’s just a matter of what seasonings you prefer.

  11. Rockphin's avatar Rockphin says:

    LOL at you guys. I am NOT going to risk $120,000 in fines AND up to 4 years in prison for “Christmas dinner”

    The worst part of the whole thing is I am being prejudice against my own kind! They are CANADIAN geese and have decided to stay here year round, kind of like me.

  12. Rockphin's avatar Rockphin says:

    sooooo, just wondering. Completely unrelated to any previous conversations………

    Does anyone know how you remove the feathers from a, um….. chicken before you cook them?

    Rock, suffocate them with a pillow over their heads while they are sleeping. Make it look like natural causes. Just make sure you have a good alibi.

  15. Randy's avatar Randy says:

    Rock,
    Plant a gun on one of them and claim you were just standing your ground against a home invasion.

    And to pluck a “chicken” you dip them in scalding hot water for a bit and then start plucking.

    Rock,
    Get a bunch of red and blue bandanas and some cheap, crappy .22s and .32s. Shoot them all with the guns, then plant the guns and bandanas on them and make it look like a gang war. Not a bad idea to sprinkle some little bags of crack cocaine around too.

    Buy little geese size 18th century Mexican army costumes and dress up the geese

    I say turnabout is fair play. Move into their nest and wake up earlier than them with a bunch of screaming and yelling.

    You could claim they tested positive for the rona, quarantine them in a shed with no feed for 14 days and let nature take its course.

  23. CavalierKong's avatar CavalierKong says:

    Rock, kill all the geese and drop them off at your neighbors house, then call the cops.

  24. CavalierKong's avatar CavalierKong says:

    Rock,
    Kill all the geese, except for one of the males, and bury them in the forest, and when the cops come around asking questions, just say “It’s strange, he was always such a nice, quiet, young man”.

    Put little NY yets jerseys on them, clip their wings, put them up on your roof and just wait until they happily jump to their deaths in shame.

  26. The Flying Pig's avatar The Flying Pig says:

    Here’s an easy fix
    Secure a Large Boulder to the top of a nearby mountain
    Secure the Boulder with the lethal side facing the geese

    Then on another nearby mountain secure a large rocket, preferably ACME brand
    Make sure the fuse of the rocket can reach the ground near the geese

    Now, near the geese place a coconut cream pie
    This is a decoy, geese don’t like coconut

    On the other side of the pie, place a heavy bowling ball on top of a slide

    Aim the rocket towards the bowling ball

    Near the fuse to the rocket place a cupcake

    Now here’s where it gets a little tricky
    Survey the geese
    Ask them to rate a coconut cream pie and a cupcake on scale of 1 to 10

    When you’ve collected the survey results, note the pie has scored low
    But determine which goose rated the cupcake the highest

    Light the goose with the highest score on fire
    Encourage him to have a cupcake

    While you are doing this place a nuclear bomb on the bowling ball
    Careful not to push the bowling ball down the slide
    Unless the rocket misses the bowling ball, then you can push

    Enjoy the pie and stay out of the path of the Boulder

  27. Randy's avatar Randy says:

    stanger,
    Nah, I’m hoping Gase makes the rounds of coaching all the AFC East teams before he bites it. After that embarrassment last night, NE might be next. Lol

    • stangerx's avatar stangerx says:

      In my mind no way does Gase get a HC gig now….. but then thought that after he left us. So what do I know. Could see him as the evil genius’ OC though. But think he should head to college. Maybe the new HC for the South Central Louisiana State University Mud Dogs.

  28. Randy's avatar Randy says:

    Piggy,
    That won’t work. ORob and Trump will order several recounts of the cupcake/pie vote and eventually take it to the SC. Results will be delayed long enough that the geese will be able to claim squatter’s rights.

  29. Randy's avatar Randy says:

    stanger,
    Yeah, I don’t see how Gase gets another HC job. He hasn’t shown much leadership ability, players seem to dislike him, and his offenses suck. I’m guessing he’s lost his QB guru status by now. I wouldn’t be shocked if he couldn’t even get a job as an OC.

    • stangerx's avatar stangerx says:

      Just think psychologically he’s meant for college cause not good at dealing with highly paid grown men. Saban got that about himself. And not saying he’d be as good as Saban, just a better fit for him.

    So I’m thinking we root for the Raiders over the Colts this weekend since we have a chance to beat the Raiders ourselves. If they do beat the Colts this is how I see it shaking out.

    (All this is assuming we end up at 10-6 by beating the Raiders and the Pets, losing to the Chiefs and Bills. It also assumes the Browns are taking the 1st WC.)

    Raiders beating the Colts are at 8-5. So when we beat them we end up with the tiebreaker advantage.

    Colts losing to the Raiders are at 8-5. We need one more loss from them. They play the Texans, Steelers, Jags. If they reach 6 losses, we have the tiebreaker advantage due to conference record.

    Ravens are at 7-5. They play Browns, Jags, Giants, Bengals. With a loss to the Browns, we end up with the tiebreaker due to conference record.

    As long as we get to 10-6, our chances are really good. Basically we need to have either the Ravens or Colts lose one additional game, and we’re in.

    Our worst case scenario is the Ravens winning out, and the Colts winning their division. Tennessee is the only team that has the tiebreaker advantage over us due to conference record. If that happens we’ll need to get to 11-5.

  46. CavalierKong's avatar CavalierKong says:

    Our best chance is knocking the Raiders out ourselves with a win against them, and the Ravens losing just one more game. That happens and we’re in at 10-6.

    Of course there are other scenarios where we could get in at 9-7, but that’s really dicey.

    • stangerx's avatar stangerx says:

      9-7 won’t do it. We need two more wins.

      • CavalierKong's avatar CavalierKong says:

        I think when it all shakes out it’ll take 10 wins, and one 10 win team may also be left out.

        But, if we beat the Raiders, and they lose to the Colts this weekend (or any other loss), all it would take is one of the other teams (Balt, Tenn, Indy) to collapse and lose 2 or 3 games and we get in at 9-7, so right now it’s still a path.

    Quite a few good college games cancelled today. Going to watch UNC vs UM to get a good look at UNC RB’s, WR’s and LB Chazz Surratt and the UM DE’s/Edge players.

    Can’t get the UGA game here at work so may watch NW game to get a look at MLB Paddy Fisher.

    Will watch some of LSU vs UF tonight but mainly going to watch USC vs UCLA since I don’t know much about west coast players. Would have liked to see DT Jay Tufele for USC but he opted out. Guess I will just check out UCLA RB Demetric Felton who is a good receiving RB. His #’s are decent through just 4 games. Despite not starting last year, he had 55 receptions. He seems to be more of a slot WR playing RB as he is a little light for his size but has the speed to take it to the house.

  60. CavalierKong's avatar CavalierKong says:

    Mike, Time’s Person of the Year is only about influence, you don’t have to actually do anything, lol. They decided that by Biden and Harris whipping the dog piss out of Trump like a redheaded stepchild, they will have had a bigger impact on the world than anyone else.

    It’s no different than when he beat the snot out of Hilary and finally achieved his lifelong dream of getting on that cover in 2016. He hadn’t actually done anything, but his winning the presidency created a major shift in the world.

    • Mike E.'s avatar Mike E. says:

      Wait, so Trump was Man of the Year in 2016?

        Yep

      • Mike E.'s avatar Mike E. says:

        If you ask me, I’d tell you that Trump should be man of the year again in 2020 because he was the reason Biden and Harris got elected so . . .

      • CavalierKong's avatar CavalierKong says:

        LOL, I think that is pretty valid. The whole thing is stupid and totally subjective anyway. It isn’t worth the paper it’s printed on.

      • stangerx's avatar stangerx says:

        If it is about influence then think Trump should be man of the year every year he is president. I might not like exactly how….. but he changes things. Keep in mind Hitler was Man of the Year too. So influence is a neutral factor.

    Ken, congrats on your progeny and their success. Well done, sir. You deserve to bask in that glow. Being a parent is a difficult and often thankless position, so when you have an opportunity to enjoy moments like this, it’s nice to sit back and take it all in.

    It’s as I have always said about my own brood. I’ll delight in watching them succeed, knowing I had a part in the development of the amazing person in front of me, just as I’ll always make sure to let them know for each failure they encounter, it was quite certainly a result of their grade school teachers’ dereliction of duties.

  62. stangerx's avatar stangerx says:

    On Friday Trump signed an executive order designating Christmas Eve a federal holiday. Obviously Christmas already was. Not sure agree with that. At my old place we used to deal with X-Mus eve based on what day of the week X-Mus fell on. Like say was a Thursday we’d work a full day on the 24th and get the Friday off and have 4 days straight.

    Not like if there were more required holidays we’d let people work less days in total.

    • Mike E.'s avatar Mike E. says:

      I think he’s signed out already, this is probably just a move he thinks enhances his legacy.

      • stangerx's avatar stangerx says:

    I know this is out of left field, but I’ve recently been revisiting 80’s horror movies. I just watched The Fog again. The cover art is an iconic picture in my mind. I’ve always remembered it, and always recognize it.

    I’ve always thought it Adrienne Barbeau on the cover and only just realized it’s Jamie Lee Curtis. I knew Curtis was in the movie as the hitchhiker who gets a ride, then sleeps with the guy 5 minutes later. That’s basically her whole arc, lol. Since Barbeau has the starring role and ain’t exactly ugly, I always thought it was her.

    No bad blood btwn Reid and Flores.
    —————————-
    Brian Flores’ team signaled its turnaround in Week 17 last season when the 4-11 Dolphins upset the 12-3 Patriots 27-24. The unexpected ending gave the Chiefs’ a first-round bye and home-field advantage throughout the postseason.

    The Chiefs certainly were grateful. Coach Andy Reid had some Kansas City barbeque delivered to Flores as a show of appreciation. “So, I thought I’d just send him a little thought from Kansas City, you know. Kansas City is known for its barbeque, so no better present to get from the good Kansas City barbeque here.”

    Flores enjoyed the fruits — or in this case meats — of victory. “It was good barbeque. It went fast.”

      Guilty as charged. And I’d buy you a beer any time anyhow. But just to know what the rules are….. if in a blind link does that mean beer rules are in effect?

    Mike E, any insight into James McCann? I know of him but not a lot about him.

    Well, at least I know the highly touted DE/Edge players are not very good against the run. UNC RB’s Javonte Williams and Michael Carter have combined for 308 yards rushing so far through and that is through just 2 1/2 quarters of play. Carter averaging 13.8 per carry and Williams 10.9 yards per carry against the 10th ranked UM defense.

  69. bailbondmike's avatar bailbondmike says:

    Carter and Williams finished with a combined total of 544 yards rushing vs UM. Michael Carter 24 carries for 308 yards and 2 TD’s. Javonte Williams 23 carries for 236 yards and 3 TD’s.

    I should have been paying more attention to the UNC OL.

    Tim, LMAO, I was thinking football. That’s a very good signing, great defensive catcher.

    • Tim Knight's avatar Tim Knight says:

      LOL
      I was talking to another friend of mine who is also a Mets fan asking if he was a good defensive catcher because his bat is just okay. He didn’t really know so we just assumed. I don’t follow the AL that deep at all.

    Ken I actually got into Hofstra as well and had an offer to join the football team as a walk on. Was going to study engineering there until my Mom shut that down because “it’s too far away” I was barely 17 when I graduated so she was probably right, but I’m still kinda pissed I didn’t get to go there.

      Grats to your boys that is a very proud moment for them (and you) getting those acceptance letters

    • Ken's avatar Ken says:

      My son loves Hofstra. He is waiting to hear from the law school portion of the application. He applied to the 3+3 LEAP program which is a 6 year program after which you receive both your bachelors and your juris doctorate. No matter what he is in the 4 year bachelor’s program

    Now we have to win!

    • “There’s nothing more I love than going out and making plays and catching the football,” Gesicki said Sunday, when asked to compare his one handed catch to previous highlights. “For me, every catch I make is like the game-winning touchdown in the Super Bowl.”

  79. Dolphins defense will put Tua in great field position, the defense will harrass Mahomes and force turnovers

    FINS will win this one, 28-17

    I am so psyched for the game today. It feels like a playoff game. Go Phins!!!

    Dang, we always print out a photo of the residence from google maps when putting together the file folder. They have a 500K home (which is expensive for this county) and it is blurred out purposely. Wonder why they want that kind of privacy? You can actually do that for your home but once you do it, it becomes permanent I believe. This is a small bond so doubt boss will want a drive by photo.

    FF playoffs and I had Gaskin starting. Now I have to choose between Wayne Gallman and D’Andre Swift. Normally, Swift would be the choice but he hasn’t played in 3 weeks and may only get a limited role so I’m going with Gallman. Hope Gallman and the Giants offense take it to the Cards today.

    • Tim Knight's avatar Tim Knight says:

      That’s the right choice.

      • Mike E.'s avatar Mike E. says:

        I felt really good with Gaskin against the Chiefs, that’s a shame. Gaskin will be out next week too, which sucks for the Dolphins. I liked what I saw from Washington but those hammy injuries tend to linger which would leave us with Laird and Elijah McGuire from the PS. Elandon Roberts and Ereck Flowers and Benito Jones are all out too.

      • Mike E.'s avatar Mike E. says:

        No, not good at all, I feel like things are unraveling before we even play them. Gaskin OUT, now Van Noy, that’s making the hill a steeper climb for sure.

    • Tim Knight's avatar Tim Knight says:

      That sucks! He’s been questionable for weeks though. He had a monster game last week. If he can’t go, once again next man up. We’ve been doing it all year.

  86. Rockphin's avatar Rockphin says:

    A win today just makes the playoff math so much easier. I am requesting a win, please. That way I don’t have to do the math.

    Thanks Dolphins. I appreciate it.

    I am not making a pick this week.
    I have a load of laundry on the floor in front of the washer, read to go.
    I am wearing my too-small, faded teal with cracked / flaked old style logo T-shirt
    I have the Captain on the counter ready to go

    I am doing my part. How about your.
    I want all of you to STAND THE FUCK UP AND MAKE SOME NOISE (wherever your are, LOL) when the Dolphins take the field. I will.

    LET’S GO DOLPHINS!!!!!!!!!!
