This is what the season has come down to, Week 15, Brian Flores’s Dolphins at 8-5 fighting for a playoff spot against Bill Belichick’s Patriots. Earlier this year, the Patriots embarrassed the Dolphins 21-11 at Gillette Stadium in Foxborough. Cam Newton and the RPO time and time again fooled the Dolphins defenders to the tune of 15 carries for 75 yards and 2 TD’s by the NE QB. Dolphins QB Ryan Fitzpatrick was abysmal that day completing 23 passes of 30 attempts, except 3 of those completions were to NE defenders. We just looked unprepared and overmatched by Bill Belichick’s gameplan and Cam Newton’s execution of it. We guessed wrong so many times on that RPO and it was one of the more frustrating things to watch. Brian Flores will have to design a better gameplan this time.
So many things have changed since then. Ryan Fitzpatrick is no longer our starting QB, it’s now rookie Tua Tagovailoa. Neither Jordan Howard (Released) or Myles Gaskin (COVID-19 list) are playing this Sunday. RB DeAndre Washington will get the start and returning to the backfield is Matt Breida. Salvon Ahmed is a longshot to play as well. WR DeVante Parker is limited with a hamstring injury but will likely play, but Preston Williams who played Week 1 is still out. TE Mike Gesicki is also likely out with a dislocated shoulder. Patriots WR Julian Edelman is on IR/R which means he’s eligible to play should the Patriots decide to activate him but this is his first week of practice and he’s been out since October 31st when he elected to have surgery on his knee. He is unlikely to play.
Cam Newton is tenuously holding on to the starting job in NE as he has struggled in his last 3 games throwing for only 272 yards with 1 TD against 3 INT’s and that includes the 45-0 walloping of the LA Chargers. He did rush for 2 TD’s against the woeful Chargers. If I know Brian Flores, Cam Newton won’t be running all over us Sunday. We’ll be on him like white on rice. The Patriots are on the outside looking in as far as the playoffs concerned, even if they win out 9-7 is not going to be good enough to get in in the fiercely competitive AFC. There are 4 division winners and 3 wild card berths. The Chiefs are the AFC West Champs at 12-1. The Colts and Titans are tied at 9-4 in the AFC South and the Steelers (11-2) are holding a 2 game edge on the Browns (9-4) who are now surging and looking to grab the AFC North division crown. Our Dolphins currently have the #7 seed at 8-5. 10 wins is the only chance the Dolphins will be in the playoffs, so in essence, our last 3 games are essentially playoff games. First one is at home against a very familiar opponent.
There are always ebbs and flows in the long 16 game season, and despite the loss last week, I think our team is performing very well. The injuries are adding up, and I’d really love to have Kyle Van Noy back this week along with good Ole Bobby McCain. I’d love to have thumper Elandon Roberts back at LB too, he was missed last week. I wouldn’t mind having Ereck Flowers back either but only if he’s ready, I think Mt. Kindley has done well in his stead. It’s possible that Isaiah Ford could suit up for us this week, depending on how Jakeem Grant is doing with his hamstring injury. Lynn Bowden kind of exploded last week getting lots of action. Bowden was targeted 9 times and caught 7 passes for 82 yards. He also rushed once and the previous week against Cincy, Bowden caught 4 for 41 yards. Safe to say he’s part of the offense now.
As the pictures above portray, this game is the Mentor against his former Student. I don’t have to explain to all of you that Bill Belichick has always been a great coach and a master of making adjustments before the game, during the game and after the game. People will say look at him w/o Brady but Belichick created Brady. He tailored the offense to work with Tom Brady’s strengths and mask his weaknesses. In my opinion, only people who don’t really understand the game look at Tom Brady with his 30 TD’s and 11 INT’s and think that Brady was the reason for the Patriots success. The Buccaneers are just loaded with talent, there is no comparing the Bucs roster with the Patriots roster. RB Ronald Jones has come of age having his best season. WR’s Mike Evans, Chris Godwin, Antonio Brown along with TE’s Rob Gronkowski, O.J. Howard and Cameron Brate. The Patriots, besides having an inept passer at QB (Newton), the Patriots WR’s are Jakobi Myers, N’Keal Harry, Damiere Byrd along with RB’s Damien Harris and James White. The Bucs also have loads more talent on defense with LB’s Lavonte David and Devin White, DE’s Shaq Barrett and JPP and DT Ndamukong Suh. Folks, it’s not even close. I’m loathe to agree with Belichick himself when he said they sold out to win previous years and have left the cupboard somewhat bare this season. I’d say he speaks true.
My point in the last paragraph is we are basically trying to knock off Bill Belichick’s team, and although they might be outmanned, they have the football mind to keep them in this one. We have a disciple of that football mind, and if there was ever a time for the student to teach the teacher something, this is it. We need a strong gameplan from Brian Flores. We can’t allow Cam Newton and the RPO or whatever they employ to beat us. We have to be the better team Sunday. The NFL season is a game of attrition, no one knows who will be available at the end of the season and if we make it far enough that we’re in the playoffs, maybe we get Preston Williams back, Gaskin with fresh legs, maybe we get TE Mike Gesicki back as well. We MUST win this game, and then we move on to the next playoff game against the Las Vegas Raiders in their new house. Win this one, I like our chances against Da Raiders.
GO DOLPHINS!!!
Finsmob Unleashed 
Awesome write but I think you give Brady less credit than he deserves. He’s frick’n 43 and a starting QB in the NFL. On a team looking for the playoffs too. Don’t think that’s ever been done before.
And if the evil genius’s team sold out the future for chances at the ring before….. was the evil genius who mostly made the decisions on that. Hard to complain about it now.
I don’t think he was complaining, I think he logically explained what happened. He doesn’t need excuses, he’s been the best coach over the last 20 years without question.
This is why our offense blows!
6:o2 mark of the video, Tua has Parker wide open, screws around and takes a sack! he’s got to get to his progressions quicker.
7:59 mark, looks like the same shitty throw we went over vs the Bengals except it was to the opposite side, threw short and behind his wr who was wide open for a TD with a properly thrown ball
8:45 mark, he has a wide open wr right in the middle of the field! instead he gets hammered for a safety!
10:54 mark Kindley gets abused!
Looking like we might score the most points in 20 years, and if not should be 2nd — 4th most. Do agree that O needs some work, and assume we’ll mainly be doing O in the off season.
What do you figure needs to be done? And they ain’t getting rid of Tua, though agreed with you before that picking up a say 2nd or 3rd round QB is a good idea.
BTW ORob — have watched the full vid now. Really good. Kid looks like he’s a skateboarder stoner….. but really knows his football.
I had to mute it!
I thought it was Ken Narrating as he kept making excuses for Tua
I kept watching and thinking Spicoli. They do a remake of Fast Times and he has to be in the running. But he’s smart.

No respect. All the talking heads are predicting a NE win Sunday.
Who cares what David Byrne, Tina Weymouth or Jerry Harrison says about football?

LMAO!!!
That is great news. Even if Gesicki doesn’t play this Sunday, obviously his injury isn’t going to force an extended rehab.
That’s good news, really didn’t expect Gesicki to be practicing. I wonder if there’s any shot he plays this week
Was convinced he was done for the year.
I don’t know anything about dislocated shoulders. Since it obviously isn’t bad enough to require surgery, is it really about managing the pain of taking shots to the area again or is there a down time needed so you don’t reinjure it?
I know as much about dislocated shoulders as David Byrne knows about the Dolphins and Patriots
LOL
One of the Talking Heads of dislocated shoulders
And you may find yourself with a dislocated shoulder
And you may find yourself questionable on the injury report
And you may find yourself still on the plane heading to New England
And you may find yourself on a beautiful field, in 3ft of beautiful snow
And you may ask yourself, “Well… how did I get here?”
[Chorus]
Letting the drugs sink in, no injury hold me down
Letting the drugs sink in, feels like feathers hitting ground.
Back on the field again, now that the pain is gone
Chance for the playoffs, feels like feathers hitting ground.
Just gotta talk to the Doc and you’ll be laying before you know it.
The fact they have him practicing, even on a limited basis, makes me think it might be able to be handled this way.

I think there was a report earlier that said he was almost certainly out for this coming week. If there was a game he was out, i almost prefer it this week vs next and certainly would rather him be back Bills week even if it means he misses the next two.
Lol @D
Let’s hope he’s a psycho killer on the field
As long as he doesn’t Stay Up Late and come in Crossed Eyed And Painless, then The Lady Don’t Mind……

Well done on the song D
I haven’t watched much of Herbert, and stayed out of the “Who’s better: arguments!
But he looks pretty good
That was Awesome D. 👍👍😊
Care pulled his groin. Mariotta is in
CARR NEEDS CARE.
A friend I played Sponge Hockey with had a perpetual Dislocating shoulder.. basically the ball at the top of your arm , gets jarred and pops out of the socket holding it in .. need to tighten up the surrounding muscles to assist it being held in place for long term . his would come out and one guy would pin him against the boards , and another would pull(yank) his arm down to reseat the socket .. he was good to go again until next time
Last game a few of us on here noticed how Tua’s wrist band with the play calls needed better velcro because it was flapping all game. It seems Herbert has the same issue.
Maybe figuring out how to close the playsheet wristband properly is part of the rookie learning curve? lol
BOTH the guys on PTI picking The Pats to beat Miami straight-up! (Miami now up to a 3 point favorite at home). KORNHOLEHEISER and WILBORN say New England b/c Belicheat is 21-5 vs. rookie QB’s. HOW many of those 21 were named Tua??? And how has Belicheat fared in Miami the last several years?? –NOT RELEVANT to the twin meatheads!!!
———————-
Here’s what is relevant. Cam (FIG) Newton has thrown either “ZERO” or “ONE” TD pass the last 16 games he’s started. ALSO, Miami figures to get some (most?) of their walking wounded back for this game. And the Dolphins have a realistic shot at the playoffs IF they win this game. The Patsies have virtually NO CHANCE and THEY KNOW IT.
———————-
HOW BAD DOES COACH “FLO” WANT THIS GAME??? Probably as bad as Shula wanted to beat the Bears in that 1985 Showdown in the historic Orange Bowl Dec. 2nd, 1985!!

THEN, there’s the THE THROW_BACK UNIFORM issue. Under a virtually IMPOSSIBLE set of circumstances, “FLO’s BOYZ” nearly engineered a comeback from a 30-10 deficit to a mind-boggling victory in the 4th quarter last Sunday!! And Fig Newton is no Patrick Mahomes, is he???
Miami scored 27 points last week vs. the Chiefs, playing with a ton of back-ups and nobodies. — 27 points WILL GET THE JOB DONE THIS SUNDAY.

My wife got covid vaccination today. 1,100 medical professionals in Corpus Christi in the last 3 days. The mood at our clinic has improved significantly. Just waiting for the nurses and other staff to get their turns. We’ve had 3 people already who got so sick they haven’t been able to return to work after several months (1 is likely permanently disabled at age 32).
There’s a ways to go, but after 20+ patients a day who lie about exposures (and even about being positive until AFTER the visit so they can go to an exam room instead of a curbside in our tent) … and then a rash of refusals to be tested the week before Thanksgiving because “if positive we won’t be able to travel” (smh)… I hope this kind of idiocy won’t continue into the vaccination phase.
Herd immunity is not achieved by letting everyone get sick… its achieved by successful vaccination programs.
BUT, RHINO, don’t you know there’s NO NEED to get vaccinated against a disease that doesn’t exist? Thus, there’s NO NEED for masks, SOCIAL DISTANCING, etc.
—————
PIGGY: A local Trump supporter told me he thought “Social Distancing” was something you did just before farting!! Is that so?
I didn’t even need the ‘sarcasm font’. lol
on a football note … how large is that Denver loss looking now? Shit happens,
If our Defense is healthy vs NE, it will be enough to win, imo. Cam has become a turnover machine against defenses as active as ours.
Chargers up 17-10 at the half 👍👍
NOT looking ahead, but – – -. Does David Carr’s injury mean that the Dolphins’ chances of beating the Raiders just went up now that Mariota’s now the #1 QB for Vegas?
I’d say “YES.”
He’s 5-5 with a Td pass 🤔
Raiders tie it at 17 🙁
Ballage TD for Chargers 24-17
He’s finally having a good game for the Fins 🤡
Raiders look like an easier win if we can win this week. Their defense is truly terrible and losing 3 of the past 4 seems to have demoralized them.
Should be able to beat them yup
^
X would have had a pick 6
Raiders 10:00 drive for TD to tie.
Fucking Chargers. Missed FG 3:38 left. Tie game
They just can’t finish games
INT Chargers 2:00 , returned to FG range 🤔come on close it out.
OMG sacked for 8 YD loss now a 51 yd FG attempt
can Rob please give detailed breakdown of what Hebert did wrong there on 3rd and 2? 🙂
Freakin’ Waller is killing me in fantasy football.
He’s a really good TE.
Yah and he’s on Mike E’s team.
Chargers are as pathetic as Jets in closing out games.
😱 and he missed 😱
… that one was interference. lol. and he knew it. but no flag. whew
Raiders lining up for a 65 YD er

David Out
I’ve got a hunch that ORob doesn’t like Tua. Just saying. LOL
Chargers win helps our Houston draft pick status and our playoff chances. Nice to have a + + game.
Mariota, another Hawaii high school QB … no wonder Hawaii QBs are busts, they aren’t even American citizens (lol).
Huh?
It’d make sense if you were having an Irish Whiskey… cuz everything sounds better in your head than when in print. 🙂
here we go. inside the 5!!!!
Can’t they just throw a fade?
That’s the holy roller call….lol

LOL
And the Texans pick moves up to #7…
LOL, yep.
DOLPHINS now have a bit more control of their destiny. I like our chances vs. Fig Newton this Sunday. And I like our chances against a demoralized Raider team that probably will have to start their second string QB vs. Miami next week.
WE HAVE A SHOT!!
It’s always good to control your own destiny with 3 games to go. No team can jump us if we don’t lose. We’ll still have a chance without doing that but then we’ll need some help.
I’m just glad we’re in the mix. 🙂
It’s a beautiful thing to wake up and see that the Raiders fell in the playoff race without the Charger’s climbing in.
Here is to hoping this weekend’s outcomes help the dolphins more than last weekend’s did!
I don’t think Gesicki will play this week, but if we can have Smythe, Shaheen and Myarick play, and Parker can play along with Grant, Hollins, Bowden and Perry (possibly Ford), I like our chances this week. It’s really more about our defense to be honest. If we shut down Cam and the RPO, I don’t think they can beat us. Love this from NFL.com on our matchup under the insights tab –
***The Patriots .450 win pct on the road vs MIA is the worst vs any opponent in the Belichick era (min. 3 games).***
Not that Geisicki doesn’t elevate our receiving core, but he doesn’t kill it not being out there. It takes a big target away in the red-zone but we have plenty of those.
Well, he has the most TD’s of any of our receivers and the 2nd best YPC. He’s a weapon that I believe we haven’t used enough of. It seems like there are too many games when he only got a couple of targets, he should be a go to guy. Regardless, I’d rather have him in there than not.

——————————————————–
Waller was someone i liked for us his draft year, but he went to Balt. We would have been over him by now though, he really hasn’t come into his own until recently, it took him a while to get going.
If we shut down Cam and the RPO, I don’t think they can beat us. Love this from NFL.com on our matchup under the insights tab –
You watch, We will have drilled all week on stopping the RPO and the pats will come out and run the old I formation power run game on us all afternoon.
This sunday is a home game right? One of you all the other day made a comment about going up to NE for this game.
It is a home game. Won’t be super hot for Sunday, but up here in NE its been a pretty cold week with a foot of snow on the ground. So even 77 degrees and high humidity will hopefully feel pretty hot after a quarter or two for the Pats. Every little bit helps.
Was me, and i was wrong it is in Miami. Forgot we played them earlier this year in NE.
The way I see it, Sunday is the start of the playoffs for the Dolphins. They’re playing teams all in the in the hunt, so every team is going to be bringing it 200% (except maybe Buffalo if they don’t have anything to gain by that point – but lets assume they will have something to gain). Any loss will severely hurt or doom any playoff chance. So there you go. Playoffs start Sunday – first round opponent is the Pats.
Beer to Mike for saying the same in the article post lol (in my defense I am twice)
LOL – I’ll take that in person next year, then I’ll buy you one, then I’ll buy you one.

My line of thinking is id rather not have him there if it might cost us having him for the last two or even last one. I have a feeling 2 and 3 are going to be a lot tighter than this next one and i think there might be more on the line on those games too.
Dont get me wrong, i dont think any of them are cast off games, but if our defense continues playing like it has been, then we can get by better against Cam and the Pat’s Receivers vs David Carr and his.
Sorry meant Derek Carr
Pats beat us by 10 first time around. That was our biggest loss of the season.
Sucks to lose but would have given you 50-1 at the start of the year that we’d have a loss by more than that. Competitive we are.
D – I’d also rather have Gesicki the last 2 games instead of him aggravating his injury and missing those 2 games. I was just saying I’d like him for all of them. He makes easy opportunities for the other TE because they usually double him.
Maybe have him in the ‘break glass in case of emergency’ enclosure (active roster) on the sidelines for use in the second half – in case we need to throw everything at them to win?
Another version of that would be just use him in red zone situations. Assume with his shoulder blocking would be the biggest risk.
the only downside to that is not having another active player that might be needed at another spot, but i dont see the harm in that. If i were to use him and he were not completely over it (and i dont see how he can go from a dislocated shoulder to fully healed that fast) id only bring him in on plays where he gives us a much needed target. It would somewhat telegraph our play because if we did that they would know that this is likely a pass play, not necessarily he was the intended target but that its a passing down. could use him as a decoy split out wide, or something but i just hope whatever it is, we dont rush him back out there and lose him for the rest of the season and possible for post season if we make it.
I don’t think they’d take up a roster spot for him if he can’t play more than just a few snaps, but hey, who knows?
Dolphins have had a positive point differential three times in the last 15 years. They are at +85 now.
Only Phins coach to go +100 or more is Shula (10 times).
When you have a bad hamstring, going on the Covid list least helps with that.

“I love football, so I’m happy to be back. I feel 100 percent healthy. I’m ready to go.”

Only worry i have with seeing a player go on the Covid list is the long term effects of it, i mean i know several people, young healthy people who cannot shake the long term effects of covid. So decreased lung capacity, chronic fatigue, etc that could kill a guys career or at very least put him out for significantly more than two weeks.
Great indication on Gesicki. All our injured players are doing whatever they can to be on that field Sunday. They know we are in must win games from here on out.
I really want to see Tua come out and start this game strong. I’m getting this feeling in my bones we are going to come out with purpose and intensity, and the Pets had better match our stride or we’ll put this game away early.

On Draft Kings, the Ravens are being offered at -1250 to make the playoffs.
Raiders are +2200 after the loss.
The Dolphins are +200.
Stomp the Pats and the dialogue will change. Raiders will be starting Marietta. Like Cam a running QB that’s inaccurate when passing.
Regarding dislocated shoulders – I dislocated mine three time in one rugby match. It would pop back in when I hit the ground so I just kept playing. Next day was painful, still catches on occasion.
Any chance you’re playing TE for us this weekend?
Good luck Herd!
Thanks, I’m nervous!
Go Herd!!!
Mike – No TE for me. Way past the days of sucking it up.
I would hope our defense feels they have some payback for the Pats after their performance in the first matchup week one of the season. The offense is different now along with Tua so we’ll see what they do. But I expect our defense to play a big game. Our STs could be a big factor as well.
I feel the same way. I want them to feel like they got outsmarted and outplayed last time. I think Flores wants to get this one too and feels like he has to do better
We really need to win this game.
So the national game at 1PM on Sunday is the 49ers/Cowboys. Why?
Because the powers that be need to make sure I never get a game broadcast on my god damned local channel.
LOL
Both of these teams are on the outside looking in. They’re not good teams. There isn’t another game worthy?
Good to hear that Gesicki doesn’t have a season ending shoulder injury. He might play this Sunday.
Is Lynn Bowden Jr. our surprise Bess/Landry WR with a little more speed? The Raiders drafted him in the 3rd round as a RB/WR/RT and moved on from him quickly. We traded for him and have used him mainly as a WR but sometimes as a Wildcat/gimmick guy like M. Perry. But Bowden really flashed against the Chiefs as a WR.
Wow, I hadn’t realized they called his name so many times that game. Nice.
Wake up ya bums!
I’m up! Go to work out and get to get work by 8:50AM
Still a little groggy though, ^ got to work out
Waiting to board a flight. Missed my work out.
Sorry Herd about the Herd.
Your QB laid a turd.
The last two games were awful. My friend had tickets, asked me to go. So glad I didn’t. Just awful.
FAU will try to restore some C-USA pride when they take on Memphis in a Bowl game on Wednesday. FAU is 4-0 all time in Bowl games, including a 52-28 blowout win over 15th ranked (at that time) SMU last December. Lane Kiffin’s last FAU team ended up 27th ranked in the AP poll, 2 spots ahead of the USC Rubbers. Speaking of the Trojans, they lost last night to a so-so Oregon team in the PAC-12 title game. Once, again, the PAC-12 will have NO TEAMS ranked in the Top-15. Meanwhile, the AAC has 9th ranked undefeated Cincinnati, and the Sun Belt boasts 12th ranked Coastal Carolina, plus nationally ranked Louisiana and App State. NOT SAYING the SunBelt should be a Power 5 league, just saying the PAC-12’s claim as a Power 5 League has NOT been proven on the field for the last few years. Perhaps they need to bring in teams like BYU, San Diego State and, even Boise State to bump up its power ranking claims. As is, the PAC-12 is hurting.

I am sticking with my theme of rooting against Houston again this week. Even though the colts are above us in the standings. I am hoping for the Giants to beat the Browns, for Denver to beat Buffalo and for a crazy loss by the Ravens against Jax (LOL) LA already did me the solid of beating Los Vegas and injuring their QB, so thanks.

We really want the Broncos to hand Buff a loss this week, or at least the Pats to next week. If we handle our business the Division is still within reach if either Denver or NE hand them a loss. (this of course includes the premise that we beat them in the final game, that is part of handling our business)
Pretty sure Buf has to lose out for use to have a chance at the division. I’m rooting for them to have nothing to play for in the last game against us.
My point prediction this week was very “Scientific” LOL (at least to a stoner) I took the two teams PF and PA and divided by the number of games played to come up with a weekly average. I then added the PF of the first team to the PA of the second team and divided by 2 to come up with the average of what they took and what they were given. I then rounded down (cut off at the decimal point) because of the defensive prowess of each team.
See, all very Scientificy

This Northwestern defense, so far in this game, reminds me of hoe Fins D plays: gives up yardage between the 30 yard lines then tightens up with QB pressure and good pass coverage inside its own 30.
Atta boy! Maybe he shoulda waited until the end of the season though? Keep em hungry? lol

Nice of him, but what if some dude like Davis already has a high end grill or lives in an apartment/condo where you can’t grill on the balcony? But then there are 52 other guys on the team and am sure the meat won’t be a problem.

That’s shit we used to do!
1st and goal from the 35!

That was a great throw from Allen for the TD.
