Last week, I asked for the team to be competitive at the least, and in some ways they were, pushing the game to overtime before falling to the hometown Las Vegas Raiders 28-25. Now the Dolphins at 1-2 face a failed first quarter of the season unless they can get a win against the visiting Indianapolis Colts. The team was very inconsistent last week, and honestly, there’s not one unit, including the vaunted special teams that looks right yet. Both the offense and defense are still struggling. The defense gave up 100 yards rushing to Peyton Barber who was in for the injured Josh Jacobs. What does that mean exactly? That was Peyton Barber’s highest rushing total in his 6 year career with the Bucs and Redskins. We definitely miss Raekwon Davis, and one could make the argument we miss Benardrick McKinney too. We did stymie the Raiders passing attack which was on fire for the first 2 games of the season with over 800 yards passing. Including overtime, Carr threw for 386 yards and 2 TD’s and 1 INT. Considering he lit up 2 of the premier defenses in the NFL in Game 1 and 2 with the Ravens and Steelers respectively, I think we did well against their passing attack. You could also make the argument they didn’t have to pass as much because of their success on the ground and I’ll agree with that too.
I have been begging for the Dolphins to use TE Mike Gesicki and they finally did use him. He got the targets I wanted him to get but he was basically a forgotten man until the 4th quarter and OT where he finally finished with 12 targets and 10 receptions. No gaudy numbers this game, it was desperation for Brissett, but why wait until the game truly hangs in the balance to use your best target? I’m not sure that two heads are better than 1, or that either OC we have is qualified. I haven’t seen anything from this combo that makes me feel like we’re a 2021 NFL offense. Yes, our starting QB is OUT, but Brissett is capable, but we haven’t found a way to cover for the O-line this season. Both QB’s are under constant duress and therefore have been completely unable to use the downfield speed we have in Fuller, Waddle and Wilson. No time for the QB has derailed the offense. I’ve seen Malcolm Brown out there, not for his rushing prowess but for his blocking ability. Gaskin is getting the job done running and catching but Brown is the better blocker. It’s unfortunate that our starting 5 on the O-line need help and more help to block the rush, and even then it’s shaky.
The Indianapolis Colts come to Miami at 0-3. Their starting QB, Carson Wentz has been injured but has played in all 3 games. Wentz and the Colts have similar problems as the Dolphins and Brissett. The Colts once had one of the more solid O-lines with 3X Pro Bowl G Quenton Nelson and long time LT Anthony Castonzo. Castonzo retired and Nelson is injured, so former Chiefs T/G Eric Fisher is at LT and former Jaguar, Panther and Dolphin G Chris Reed replaces Nelson. Running back Jonathan Taylor is a workhorse and has been getting his share of carries but it hasn’t been enough, the Colts are scoring less than 19 PPG (18.7) and allowing nearly 27 PPG (26.7). Good news for the Colts defense is that the Dolphins have scored less than the Colts have at 15 PPG, 30th in the NFL. Good news for the Colts offense is we’re allowing 27.3 PPG which is 23rd in the NFL.
So here’s the deal. I do feel like we have a good amount of talent on our roster, and I doubt I’m alone in that evaluation. We need to make the most of that talent. We need to use the players that can make things happen, and use them more. Get the ball into Waddles hands, and NOT 3 yards into their own endzone! FTR, I do realize Waddle has 26 targets in 3 games which is great, and he has 23 catches on those targets which tells me he’s getting a ton of short passes. He’s averaging 7.6 YPR. Mike Gesicki is averaging 9.8 YPR, he’s also getting a lot of short stuff. We have to find a way to give the QB time to throw downfield if the offense is going to be what we need it to be. We’ll see if the line continues with Jackson – Davis – Deiter – Hunt – Eichenberg. It seems they don’t trust Kindley as he’s been the guy getting the least time. Davis is less of a liability at G than he is at T. I think Jackson will be better, his confidence seems to be hurting as well as his play is. Find the best 5, if this is it, and let them play together and hopefully we get the results we’re looking for.
We still have one of the best secondaries in the NFL and Xavien Howard and Byron Jones may be the best CB tandem in the league. We have talent at safety too with veteran Eric Rowe and two young emerging talents in rookie Jevon Holland and 2nd year safety Brandon Jones. The problem? Besides Christian Wilkins (2 sacks), no one else from our front 7 has a sack. You read that right, not ONE! and Ogbah each have a half sack each and rookie Jaelan Phillips and LB Jerome Baker have been shut out. Baker still leads the team in tackles and has 3 FF’s, but he hasn’t been involved in rushing the passer as much yet. The aforementioned emerging safety Brandon Jones has 2 sacks. It’s alarming though that our front 7 has been so shut down getting to the QB. That needs to improve if we’re going to be a competitive team with playoff aspirations. Let’s hope our Co-OC’s and Josh Boyer along with Brian Flores have a better game plan against the visiting Colts this Sunday. We need a win, and we need to move this talent forward, and I do believe there is a lot of wasted talent thus far.
GO DOLPHINS!!!

MikeE., Good points. We need to get more negative plays on defense meaning sacks. Need to stop their running game first.
Colts do have a decent D but are a little banged up there also.
I could see this as another low scoring squeaker like the Pats game.
Damn, Deiter to IR
Likely
Exactly what we need….sigh
That sucks, but Mancz is a very capable player. Won’t be surprised to see some quick, short term improvement on the O-line
Deiter may be lucky, if IR is the only place he goes
So WTF is Flores doing?
He signs, can’t even remember his name, the Ravens C, couldn’t sign one of the 2 from the cheats, cuts this C
He signs McKinney to be our run stopper, but cuts him, because McKinney didn’t want to be a Fin
2 biggest issues on the team are stopping the run and the OLs communication problems
Is he that much of a jackass, that he cut off his nose to spite his face?
Colts are 0-3 but have played everyone tough. Only lost 27-24 to the Rams at home week 2.
We played two tight games and just played tight in the other while the Bills loosed a load of shit on us. lol
I tried to speak with the bats

Yeah could be either, just to make it look good for their middle of the road constituents, then later on a Friday night of a holiday weekend switch
I didn’t know gators ate other gators. You would think there’s easier prey available.
Good article Mike, here’s the main point I saw

Deiter may be the highest drafted OL from UW to fail in NFL
Can’t just be the OL we pick, there has to be some level of our OL coaches don’t know WTF they’re doing too
And our 3rd biggest issue is that mess we have at OC
Again, Flores WTF are you doing
He’s starting to coach like the dufus we see in interviews
When our OL plays better on Sunday, it will be another WTF are you doing Flores, thought you wanted to play the best 5 on the OL
Mancz was always a better option than Deiter
Put the pads on Mike
That attitude really helped Jonathan Martin
He’s trying to put some hair on their balls, some guys like Martin, just can’t be helped

Great write Mike E. You ask the same Q’s I do.
Key one for me is what is up with Kindley? But right behind that is what is up with Action Jackson, and we have a lot more into him.
Not sure either on Kindley. I have a feeling if he were on another team he would be starting and mauling the funk out of people. I have to put this on coaching. Put him on a team that runs the ball more and he would be a beast like he was at UGA. When defenses have to defend the run, it makes pass pro easier. See Titans.

A majority of people who voted for former President Donald Trump are in favor of breaking up the country, a new poll from the University of Virginia Center for Politics has found. UVA surveyed 2,012 voters – half of whom voted for Trump.
The results show a country at ideological war with itself: More than half of the surveyed Trump voters – approximately 52% – said the “situation is such that I would favor Red states seceding from the union to form their own separate country.” Approximately 41% of Biden-voting respondents answered similarly.
we now live in a country where moderates in anything are viewed as traitors and rhetoric is out of control. No Stanger, these folks do not realize it. Because they are stupid.
Think we are in an age where it is “I yell and therefore I am cool.”
this shows that trump voters dont want to be part of America, this is the problem all along, they hate America and its constitution, and now want to secede, SMH
they dont want to pay taxes and support the nation, they are anti American
Not as many but 41% if Biden voters answered the same. For a lot of folks emote is all that matters.
emote is dangerous, it allows common sense and family to take a back seat to some ideological fantasy that doesnt exist
We are a nation of entitled children that have no idea how good we have it, don’t know what real hardship is, don’t understand anything other than I want it all my way and compromise isn’t an option. It’s both sides of the aisle, it’s conspiracy wackadoos, it’s progressives, it’s socialists, it’s conservatives, it’s absurdly pathetic.
Everyone should be forced to live in a god-damned 3rd world country for a year at some point in their lives, and if they survive, they’ll appreciate just how amazing the lives we get to lead in America are.
Really well said. Downfall of this nation will be because we are spoiled and soft. Oddly … immigrants is what tempered our steel in the past. So maybe there is hope.
^^^ 100% well stated Kong
Deiter out now. Oh well next man up as usual.
OL is such a disaster, maybe they should hold tryouts before the home games, lol
ive seen some big fans that could probably block better than Deiter
Well Deiter got hurt or he’d still be starting.
the nation is sharply divided, it never healed after the divisive trump left office, because he keeps fooling gullible idiots that he somehow won the election
trump has always been a sore loser his entire life, ever since his brother dumped mashed potatoes on his head when he was 8, lol
Colts are 0-3, this is one of the games Miami needs to win
Miami 28- Colts 27

Well, this shows that whatever David said about Trump voters, is well, uh, a bunch of shit actually. Social media has given people a voice they didn’t used to have, and I think the big thing is folks like to hear themselves talk. I was a Trump voter myself and I assure I’m firmly grounded in reality. Please stop classifying anyone who voted for Trump as some post apocalyptic mutated maniac. We’re not. No more than everyone who voted for Biden is a weak-minded liberal pussy. I have friends on both sides and I’m sure we agree on more things than either of us care to believe.
I have a friend who thinks anyone who voted for Trump is a racist because you can’t not be. Many of our mutual long time friends voted for Trump, so when I asked him if he thinks they’re all racists he doesn’t want to continue discussing the topic.
i wasnt talking about You, the ones that dont want to secede,
i was talking about the majority that DO want to secede
so im still correct, even if You buck the trend
Sorta scary how many folks on both side said they want the country to break up though. Not sure if these people actually think about stuff, think that way for real or are just showing off.
Following Rock’s cue . . .
First to worst
Last season, the Dolphins had the best third down defense in the league. Granted this is a three game sample size and only the beginning of the season, but the Dolphins now have the worst third down defense in the NFL.
https://www.thephinsider.com/the-splash-zone-miami-dolphins-news/2021/9/30/22699995/the-splash-zone-9-30-21-whats-up-with-the-miami-dolphins-defense-tua-tagovailoa-brian-flores
I don’t like losing OL but the coaches specially singled out dieter after the bills game for some of the break downs by the OL
It might not be so bad to get some experience at center
and yet PFF rated Deiter as Miamis best OL for the Raiders game, lol
the OL is getting worse without Deiter IMO
You just said above “ive seen some big fans that could probably block better than Deiter”.
i was joking
but in all seriousness, the OL sucks big time, TUa has broken ribs because they cant pass block , and they get manhandled by defensive lines on third and short, or fourth and short

^^^^^^^^^^^^
Blanket statement, no room for wiggle room. It’s OK, we all do it occasionally, myself included.
just speaking for the ones that want to SECEDE
what it means to secede, is they want to withdraw from America, and make their own country
that is hardly the definition of American patriot, its the opposite
Nope not gonna do it!
do what? stick up for the ones that want to secede? thats good
here is wiggle room, the minority DONT want to secede, lol
but thats captain obvious, so i didnt include it earlier
What Mike E said!
But it doesn’t really matter!
If it came to civil war, the folks on twitter wouldn’t win it! 😉
But civil war is just a screwy thought to start with. But seems some think it a great idea. Idiots.
its a screwy ideal alright, and seceding is dumb too
Well I’d say David is a prime example of how conservatives are being represented on the internet and main stream media.
I wouldn’t go so far as open warfare! But the country folks aren’t very happy that the cities in the state now have majority,
But I digress after saying I’d let it slide!
Blue states generate like two-thirds of the national income. Would the red state folks really like to break off and have less money? Don’t think the people in that poll thought about that one.
And thanks for making me google the word emote!
if You only knew the damage it does, wishing You the best of luck!
Wyoming, here is the definition of secession, or seceding
Secession is the withdrawal of a group from a larger entity, especially a political entity, but also from any organization, union or military alliance. … A secession attempt might be violent or peaceful, but the goal is the creation of a new state or entity independent from the group or territory it seceded from.
I said the word emote (which I’ve never heard before)
Not secession, which is a daily conversation in Texas! And has been since I’ve lived here 30 years off and on!
right, and right, lol
David – C’mon man, I have so many friends that voted for Trump, hundreds. I honestly don’t know one who wants to secede from the rest of the country. That’s so out of whack that statement. Hey man, if you’re happy with it, fine by me but it’s so overly exaggerated and hyperbole.
give me a break buddy, lol i said it was for the ones that want to secede, the majority stated in that poll
i never said it was for YOUR friends, i dont know Your friends.
just curious, how do we even know that poll is correct? and what do you feel if the majority DID want to secede?
Give you a break????? WTF man! I posted EXACTLY what you said, and are there are no provisions. You said Trump voters. That means ANYONE who voted for Trump. How can anyone possibly read anything but that when reading that statement?
trump voters that voted to secede is what i was referring to, cant leave out the wants to secede part, or they dont fit into the seceding conversation
believe Me, im not disparaging Your friends AT ALL, i dont know them, and they arent part of the seceding conversation if they arent for secession, as You claimed
I had viewed this earlier… LOVE IT!!!
interesting, but that doenst look like the play that waddle got the safety on, maybe they should have stuck to that play instead
if anyones friends are not part of the group that wants to secede, then obviously they are not part of the seceding conversation from above

Well, for one, physically attack the person or break their windows in. They started out yelling back at her instead of calmly talking and trying to connect then immediately went to physical force, knowing the whole time a baby was in the back, scared and crying. I’m not defending the lady’s actions at all, but they are in positions of authority and held to a higher standard. If my kid is having a meltdown and I started yelling at them in their current state 1) they aren’t going to listen to me and 2) it’s only going to make things worse. I certainly can’t physically harm my child if yelling doesn’t work.
Cops are supposed to be trained in de-escalation techniques. These guys clearly weren’t or they threw the training out the window (after they bashed it in). She was in the wrong, but they were 10x worse.
What I was wondering was, why didn’t the cop standing next to the opened door push the unlock button, surely he could’ve figured it out
Then dumber can’t barely break the window
The entitled women should have her kid removed from her custody, for acting that way in front of the child
The officer was talking to her calmly and told her she was going 48 in a 30 mph school zone. Then she immediately went crazy and took off. Second encounter, she was already in possessed by the devil mode. Cops don’t have time for stupid. It’s easy for people to point fingers at police when they have never been in their shoes.
If I have someone act like that when I go to arrest them, they’re getting juiced.
Blue states generate like two-thirds of the national income. Would the red state folks really like to break off and have less money? Don’t think the people in that poll thought about that one.
—————————————————
Money isn’t all that interesting! I think I’m going to the barter system after this new tax hike takes affect! 😉
That would be a way to handle it. But least according to Biden the knew taxes won’t hit you unless make over 400k. And I have no clue…. maybe you do.
Did you by that????????
He or folks in Congress haven’t proposed anything else yet. And in 2022 the House probably turns back to GOP control. And trust in Joe Manchin. So don’t think will happen.
lol you are lucky to be so wealthy that the new tax hike will effect You.
here is the danger in seceding though
The secession of South Carolina was followed by the secession of six more states—Mississippi, Florida, Alabama, Georgia, Louisiana, and Texas–and the threat of secession by four more—Virginia, Arkansas, Tennessee, and North Carolina. These eleven states eventually formed the Confederate States of America.
the CSA was defeated by the USA military in the civil war.
do the states that want to secede, think they can hold their own against the power of the US military might in 2021? lol
they would get slaughtered immediately
blue states aren’t really blue either. I’d like to see the real numbers of voters and their income. I know lots of replublicans with money and lots of broke people who vote democrat.
those are exceptions, google red and blue state incomes, and you will find the blue states have higher incomes, even factoring in the exceptions
2,012 voters is what should be kept in mind in this discussion on seceding. It’s percentages based off of that number, which is extremely small, and who knows where they took the people from. They could have targeted an area to skew the data or just randomly been in an area where this number was so high. Reminds me of those gold rush shows where they take findings from a pan sample of an area and extrapolate it to the whole mine, only to find out later the site is mostly empty. They just happened to grab a sample from a spot that had gold.
agreed on the poll is a small sample, and who really cares about the dumb poll anyway, lol
it might not even be accurate
you cared plenty when you were posting about it
Or like when a guy on a blog says Trump voters want to secede from the country but then later defines the term Trump voters as only Trump voters who want to secede. You mean like that? lol
dude, there was clearly a misunderstanding on your part
let me break it down, lol
there was a poll
the majority of trump voters wanted to secede in the poll
i called them out for that, secession is BS imo
thats it, lol
University of Virginia Center for Politics is a pretty legit place. And two thousand is not all that small a sample size. Plus the results were fairly even. Biden voters looked bad too.
two thousand is small compared to 145 million people that voted overall in 2020
How much do you know about how polls work?
145 million is so much greater than 2000, that this has to be considered a small sample size of the voters
I used to work with the pollsters we hired at my old place, but clearly you are an expert David. Where did you learn so much about them?
OK I’m done (shouldn’t have even responded once!)
yea, you shouldnt have disparaged me with bs, i was nice to you
This seems like a good time to drop TM’s new song released today.

I don’t need need to be an NFL QB to know I shouldn’t throw the ball to the other team. I do, however, know what it’s like to deal with children with behavioral issues and people with mental illnesses. The same response applies. There’s no need to escalate situations and make them worse. If cops “don’t have time for stupid”, they shouldn’t be cops.
Every cop can’t be a psychologist either.

Stanger, did you really think anything good was going to come of this by posting it here? I mean, Donald Trump is no longer the president, for one.
I don’t recall people posting these kinds of things post-Obama.
I did think interesting conversation would come out of it and it did. So not only did I think good would come out of it but good did happen.
I guess whatever floats your boat. Surprised you haven’t asked about the far-left wanting to succeed from the Union, being it’s a real thing, too.
“Approximately 41% of Biden-voting respondents answered similarly.” I put it right out there bud. Seems you shouldn’t hit on me for not doing so.
Just hit the leaver button! And leaver alone!
I wish I had!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
LMAO!!! 😆
You’re probably right, Wyoming!!! 😉
yea, so do i
Stanger, dont need to be a poll expert to say that 145 Million is greater than 2,000
its math
2k is a tiny percentage of 145 million, very small !
You are just proving you know nothing about how polls work.
It’s funny when he used the word percentage in the answer! 😉
yea, i never claimed to be an expert, to say it was a small sample, which it obviously is!
You were the one that claimed my statement somehow made me an expert
but i also remember polls saying trump would win, and he lost, so i dont always believe in polls, never mind be an expert on them
Stanger, if You had 145 million dollars, and spent two thousand on ice cream cake, wouldnt you still have a large percentage of Your net worth left? lol
i would hope so! and that cake better be GOOD too, lol
You just don’t get the point man. How do the polls you like and respect work?
Understatement of the year, but normal
YOU dont get the point, YOU were wrong to claim Me as an expert, for pointing out its a small sample
i only claimed it was a small sample of the overall voters
what is your argument, its a large sample?
do i think polls sample ALL voters? i KNOW they dont, and dont twist that into im an expert again please, thanks
You seem too argumentative tonight, over a dumb poll, enjoy it alone might be best from here on out, thanks
Cool enough David. Sorry we couldn’t talk about the issue, but understand was too argumentative. Get that way sometimes.
The problem with the poll is its not a hot topic, so people likely haven’t taken much into consideration, if it ever came to such the % would be tiny for those really wanting to secede

My bad: you were fair.
But doesn’t it SUCK to think that when anybody sees you post anything about Trump that it’s a hit-piece? I mean, we all know that you’re an anti-Trumper. I automatically assumed that you were trying to destroy Trump again. I KNOW I’m not the only one, either! LOL
And to be real about myself, I realize that anything I talk about regarding Obama is going to be negative, as well. I see you, man!
It took me a few minutes to realize that I’m as guilty as you, my man.
Doesn’t bother me all that much. I mean put out a message that goes both ways then I put out a fair and even one. Seems if folks take offense from their side of it is much more on them than me.
What do you feel is the end-game to it all? I mean, a divided nation? Who or what is behind the two sides here in America, that CLEARLY are polar opposites?
the end game is in the book of revelations
read it carefully my friend
Everyone should read it carefully. Just saying
I’d like it to be like before. Hands across the aisle. But that poll hit me. Doesn’t seem to be going in that direction.
good to hear bookman, much agreed
Rock, I think the TNT wall has lost some of it’s mojo.
whats different with Miami this year ,
is they went from the best third down defense in the NFL to the worst
everyone talks about our OL not getting the job done, but neither is the DL
1-2 is a team effort, SMH’
i think the Dolphins will get back on track against the winless colts, and get to playing more physical in the trenches
I think they should go back and poll all those (both sides) who said “yes”. Ask them if they really and truly meant it if it really came down to it.
In my circle (most right leaning military vets), I can’t think of any of them who would answer yes in the first place..
thats good to hear, i find it hard to believe Myself, i also dont know anyone wanting to secede
When you are 2-2 after hearing for 2 straight weeks that the season is in the apocalypse phase

MF, have You ever heard of the book of Enoch? its supposedly one of the missing books of the bible that Constantine had removed. it was found with the scrolls from the book of Genesis
it talks of giant aliens that came to earth, and taught us astronomy, the metals of the earth, medicine, built the pyramids, and even mated with earth women, that got wiped out in the flood
these giants were almost 10 feet tall like goliath, and giant skulls of ancient humans are found from time to time
Yessir! I’m very familiar with “The Book of Enoch”.
awesome!
There are a lot of shows about that. Many scientists feel there was a jump in technology that doesn’t add up. They talk about them as ancient aliens now where the people thousands of years ago referred to them as the gods.
Ancient Sumerian artifacts seem to suggest just that, Tim. AND… a ‘Planet X’.

A big part of the divide in this country started a couple of decades ago when we started to label the states red and blue. I get that it’s an election tool but putting people into groups like that ended up being about much more than just elections. It divided individuals pitting them against each other. Now it’s a regular thing where people say stuff like “well you know what kind of people are in those red or blue states”, when we all know not all people in any state think alike.
Takes no talent to produce rap “songs” there is a button on the Casio beatbox that will do it for you
You’re getting on a lot of people’s nerves. Give it a rest.

Everyone should read it carefully. Just saying
—————-
AMEN, to both of you, my Brothers!
MF, what does the book of revelations spell out as our end game?
John, the cousin of Jesus, was taken into the future to see it firsthand, and revealed it to us in the scripture..
You tell me! Many theologians believe differently on this given subject, the Book of Revelation.
they need to reread it, and read Enoch too
one thing revealed as the end game, is one fourth of the worlds population will die off from wars, disease, and famine
the current mismanagement of the worlds population doesnt end well, but for the called, the ones that believe, have an enternal end game that is quite different
a chance to sit at the right hand of God, and have the angels rejoice at our presence
we will have a new name, an enternal body, with no pain, and no tears
some may have a hard time believing this, or lacking faith, and some have faith
i have what i call confirmed faith, meaning i have crossed over before , and saw my family ancestors in their new bodies, my father, mother, sister, etc
so my faith was confirmed to me, twice
We are currently 26th in run defense which down from #16 where we finished last season. Surprisingly, these are the bottom 4. Chargers are 2-1 and AZ is 3-0.
29 Arizona 140.7
30 Seattle 155.0
31 Kansas City 160.3
32 LA Chargers 170.0
there is also a book called The language of God by Francis Collins, head of the NIH
He was a former atheist, that was responsible for coding the entire human DNA code!
he claims that the science of evolution, lead him to Christianity, and claims that Christianity and Evolution are BOTH correct, and not in conflict with one another
very interesting read, the guy is one of the smartest guys on the planet, and his road to truths and understanding is incredible
Evolution and any religion should not be in conflict with each other. It’s a fact that evolution happens everyday.
Another interesting thing to think about it is, many scientists believe that not all life on earth originated here. DNA from outer space came here from asteroids, meteors etc. Some of that life thrived and some did not. The octopus is considered to be one of those species. They can alter their RNA and they have more genes than humans.
Lol. The nature of anything in this world is decay, and death, not evolving.
correct, the aliens were explained in the book of enoch
Evolution is in direct conflict with the Bible and creation.
some think that, but read the book the language of God, and it explains how they both coexist together
That is a book written by man, not inspired by God. I will pass. It is false prophecy, and warned about throughout the Bible
He’s not looking so bad
I really LIKE Gaskin! He’s our secret superstar. I just wish we had a bruiser to complement him.
we do! Malcolm Brown!
both of them need better blocking, and better playcalling IMO
I know a few people that supposedly want secession from both sides. Mostly, too many people spend time on the internet and don’t go out and discover that all people are fairly similar All communication is easily blocked as are differing views which causes echo chambers. It really seems like there are a lot of narcissists created by Youtube, TikTok, and Instagram. We’ve had it too good, like Kong says, and have become entitled and lazy. It’s a bad environment for civility information sharing and overall good discourse.
I think the primary political problem is a federal government gone wild, a Congress that never does it’s job, and states becoming too dependent on federal money. It could be fixed with a smaller federal government which I am highly in favor of. There is too much Monopoly money floating around today that 530 people have too much control over. There are too many giant federal bureaucracies that too many depend on. Your local area should be able to provide the community you want to live in without too much federal interference. If you don’t like certain things, you should have a place you can do as you please(as long as it’s legal and not physically harmful).
To end my soapbox, Stanger, this is a really good article somewhat disputing your thoughts on red states/blue states and gives a somewhat more accurate picture than your single sentence could provide. I thought it was good reading but it is obviously slanted but the data seems to be accurate. https://thefederalist.com/2017/11/17/red-states-tax-takers-blue-states-tax-makers/ . I really enjoy this statement, “It matters only in so far as the politicians and pundits who cite these statistics do so in an effort to divide us. The idea of a Blue America and a Red America is a dangerous one, but it is a tempting weapon to yield for a politician who wants to rally his base. ” It’s all about getting re-elected guys. Nothing more or less for politicians.
Whew, a lot of bad grammar I should have fixed before posting.
We got ya, bud!
Loved and could not agree more with your first paragraph.
Article was interesting. We are talking The Federalist though. And even then was backing up what said before, even if to a lesser degree.
That’s what I liked. He admitted there was more money overall going to red states but explained a lot more than most articles I’ve seen. I don’t mind bias as long as both sides are given some consideration.

Up and until that TD rush Malcolm Brown had, he was seriously looking like the second coming of Jordan Howard. I’m not sure Brown is who we’re looking for (long-term) to augment Gaskin. We’ll see what happens as our O-Line tries to become a cohesive unit.
o , You answered it here, thanks
and yes, we need to get the OL into a more cohesive unit for both
MF, what do You think of Malcolm Brown, he sure looked good on that long TD run
that was one of the rare plays the OL looked good too, lol
Dolphins fans are dicks!
but how many Dolphin fans want to secede from the NFL is the question, lol
I have! I haven’t watched any game other than the Fins!
‘Breaking, only sexists like the Dolphins!’
Why does Ross allow this and how much will he pay us to shut up and go away?!
bookman, the book called the language of God, isnt prophesy at all
the guys a athiest scientist, that studied the DNA code, and was the first one to code all of it
he claims that evolution and scientific facts, led him to christianity and they coexist together
he is only claiming what science led him to believe, he doesnt prophesy, so he isnt a false prophet
My bad, Brah. So long as the guy you’re talking about isn’t prophesizing, all good.

AMEN
have You read the book? it doesnt sound like it
its a book about how science leads to God, God created nature, and man, correct?
its not a book of prophecy, he doesnt prophesize anything
it shouldnt be a surprise for Christians to believe that God has anything to do with nature, lol
if God created the heavens and the earth, its not a stretch to believe he has something to do with it all, right?
many christians struggle with darwinism, and think its all wrong, and many darwinists think christians are wrong
is it possible they both are right? thats what the author of the Language of God explains in a way thats hard to argue against
Short and sweet: I believe that God created the ‘Big Bang’. I hear ya.
And what happened 5 seconds before the Big Bang? The Creator (God) has always been there.
then You would probably like the book, its spot on IMO
Bookman, species have evolved for billions of years. Every living organism dies at some point but new life is born. And along the way DNA changes in many species. It’s happened with humans. But we’re one of the youngest species on the planet at around 200,000 years. Sharks have been around for over 400 million years. Many species on this planet evolve to changing ecosystems. Some don’t and go extinct.
How can humans decide how life came to be when they have only been around 0.01% of earth’s existence? Though we have a unique intelligence in the animal kingdom, we’re pretty new to planet earth in the big scheme of things.
We have not been around for billions of years. Really don’t care about human dating. Tell me one thing in “nature” that does not proceed to decay. Why do people assume a “ theory” of evolution is fact? By the way, where does natural knowledge of right and wrong come from, you know, conscience…. That is from God. How is that possible through evolution. I pray for anyone who does not see the need for a savior
I’m not going to go here with you. You seem irritated.
But I’ll ask you this question. How old do you think earth is?
Just to be a dick to you, LOL. Why don’t you capitalize the “E” in Earth?
Curious question and I’m only messing around with ya, Bro! 😉
That was for TIM, not Bookman.
Because you don’t have to. 🙂
The earth is at least hundreds of millions of years old, when the dinosaurs roamed the earth.
And some form of shark and I’m sure cockroaches were also around too. lol
OMG…. Thanks again for your efforts, Mike E. I read through today’s shit to get to you. Lmao!
LOL!! Definitely needed your waders today! You’re welcome
Agreed with much of your write. I’m more confused than anything….kinda in a wtf state.

————–
I can’t begin to tell ya how messed up human dating truly is. C14 used to be the standard, but it can only approximate between TENS of THOUSANDS of years (WOW and OUCH!). Then we got into Uranium dating (what with radioactive half-life)… but if something wasn’t hit with the radiation, who knows, right?
Humans are not only prone to err, but they make a LOT of stuff up for the sake of power, control, and BS. I believe in REAL science, not fake science.
We think we know so much in science (it’s truly LAUGHABLE!), but we’re still in the infancy of understanding… to the tune of MAYBE 6 years old.
I’m with ya, Bookman.
So the people thousands of years ago really knew their shit writing about what God is and what God means, but still used animals to do the heavy lifting; horses, donkeys, elephants, goats, camels etc.
The reality is people thousands of years ago could not comprehend current human life. A ball point pen would amaze them. Like Chad Henne seeing snow for the first time with mindless amazement.

You know nothing, Jon Snow! And that’s a compliment because you are no Jon Snow.
i struggled with the same thing that i see going on with MF and bookman, i previously believed darwinists were wrong, and only believed the christian way
but i now see how the christians and darwinists had faulty logic that they cant coexist, thanks to the book i mentioned
i now understand how it all coexists together, as the plan of God
The earth is the ripe old age of 4.54 billion years give or take a few million years.
God is life. But not a man.
The Earth is thousands, not millions of years old.
Lol. Jurassic park shit? Lol
Faith….it’s an interesting discussion. Discussing things you cannot ever possibly comprehend, let alone understand.
It gives one hope…not sure what that means either.
We live, we die. The glory is living your life to its fullest while doing the best you can.
That’s as far as I’ve gotten….lol.
I know, I’m a slug….
Got a feeling we are going to run well this Sunday
We need/should get to 2-2 if we are serious and want to right the ship.
I love George Carlin since 75, 76 I think….religion is bullshit.
The “morality” of religion is bullshit.
Crusades to Jihadists to Taliban…..not much different in my opinion.
I’ve seen this and he was amazing. I think he might have been one of the few who indoctrinated me. But aren’t we all indoctrinated by someone or something?
I also worship the sun. Because without it we’re all dead. LOL

I think you unintentionally labeled Bookman and me as ‘struggling’, Brah. Just sayin’… not cool. That’s VERY judgemental, and not the way to be.
I’m also not a ‘square’, not that you called me any such thing, of course, my man. Science continues to prove much of what was stated in the Bible.

That’s where the Book of Enoch comes into play, man. That’s what some of us were talking about, and WHY(?) did the Roman Catholics omit it from the Bible?
Short answer: POWER, MONEY, and CONTROL. It’s not too different from what’s going on today.
Give it a short amount of time in the future, and America will be known as a radical tyranny on the face of the world, that needed to be wiped out. And it WILL be taught to children across the globe: America was all about killing FREEDOM.
David, if you’re still with me… THIS is what the Book of Revelation was talking about.
Good becomes labeled evil, and evil becomes labeled good.
Watch for the signs, especially from above… but we’ll see on Earth, as well. 2022 is going to be a very bad, bad year.
Why deny the new and current knowledge gained over the years? People still using stones as their main tool knew more? No! The Enoch is based in one of the oldest religions which is Judaism. Christ was born Hebrew/Jewish. It’s all human activity including Roman Catholics. It was early politics.
Humans are so arrogant and self absorbed they think they know the meaning of life. LOL
Did you ever think in 2021 that in maybe 5,023 based on our silly calendar we might become extinct?
Wow! Just wow! Lmao!
I just might bookmark this remark.
Oh yeah, LMAO!
The earth is billions, not millions of years old. Thousands is right out. Civilized human societies are maybe 15 thousand years old. I guess it depends on what civilized means. LOL
Don’t even know what that means. Bookmark away! Lmao. Are you in a book club?
Who wrote the book of anything?
Think about how fantasy driven humans are; monsters, superheros, space exploration we don’t even have yet. We’re not content with reality. Life must be more unbelievable than it really is. Are you sure about that? Maybe it is exactly what it is. Enjoy the ride. You got picked to exist. 🙂
Lol. I am not struggling at all. I do not look to convert anyone to my beliefs on a blog. All I will say is that I hope anyone who does not believe in Christ as their savior should be really comfortable in that conviction. Good luck with that when you are gambling with your life and mortality
Christ was baby Jesus, right? A mortal man who then became a deity?
So the whole deal is whatever you do in life on earth will be like a principal of your school punishing you before you can enter the great utopia, like graduation?
It always sounds human to me. We’re also the only species on earth that wears clothes and clings to things that aren’t necessary. Regardless of your faith, that has to be interesting to you is it not? LOL
Christ is true God and true Man. Humans are different because we have a soul. Sin causes all the pain and shame and hurt in the world.
Dont over think. It is free. Believe in Christ and you are saved.
Saved from what?
Hell
I’m just going back to the mystery of life video for about the tenth time…geez loueez
I misspoke, but majesty and mystery seem connected…..
Oh right Friday Night music. 😉

When you burn someone alive at the stake or cut their head off, you’re fucked in the head. Anyone who does that is evil. Is this really still a conundrum?
for those of you flying to the fest, make sure you get a seat near the rear of the airplane, if a plane crashes the human body can withstand up to 25gs of force, in the front of those planes forces over 100gs can be realized due to the sudden stop, the body is obliterated. in the back the accordion affect may lessen the g force substantially and make it survivable,
Krishna, nothings too good for you buddy, try value jet first class.
Can’t wait to me you Orob! Hope you show up!
And, thanks for the lesson on plane crashes and where to sit. Personally, I like over the wing near the exit door. Usually, lots of leg room….lol!
Not going, Stanger sold my ticket to Son’s lawn man.
and besides i have already met you and your beautiful wife at a previous fest.
ORob — how did I sell your ticket when you said you didn’t want one?
That’s what I thought, too, stangerx.
In fact, if I recall, he made a big deal about NOT committing when you asked him if he wanted a ticket. Something like he could figure it if he decided to go at last minute.
He was very clear he couldn’t commit to something like the Fest so far in advance. But hey — sounds like on any given weekend he has a bunch of options to choose from. Maybe the Fest is his booty call. 🙂
Some good college football on today starting with Arkansas vs UGA.
Some really good prospects to watch this game.
