All that talk about Wilson in Denver. Here they were buying their Super Bowl tickets. Lol
The pass rush is really good, as is their D, on O Wilson can move the ball, they just need to clean up the penalties and get in synch
I wouldn’t want to play them
Survivor league : 383 entries, week one elimination 238.. crazy .. I still have 3 of 5 alive ..
So, more perspective on D and Boyer…

So Flores/Omar lied again?
Good morning from the nation’s capital. Looking at the White House during breakfast this morning. Flew in last night. Flying out back home at two this afternoon
Just have to love traveling 8 hours for a four hour meeting. 🤡
Don’t get mugged
I doubt very much I will be mugged in the lobby of the capital Hilton but there’s always a chance. 🤡
Head on a swivel!
The Cowboys should sign Ryan Fitzpatrick, but they won’t, because they are not creative thinkers.
btw
I’m almost to the point of saying that Coach McCarthy sucks.
If you want yet another reason to praise McDaniel, look at what Hackett did against the other HOF HC with a long career.
Hackett looked confused, over-matched, and just plain not ready.
I know he was on the road, but it’s not like his QB didn’t know how to play in Seattle.
Hackett had the better team and squandered the talent.
McDaniel never gave the patsies a decent chance to deploy their talent.
Homer Alert!
Do not read if you are allergic to Kool-Aid.
The 49rs lost without Mike McDaniel there in Training Camp and co-ordinating the offense.
A TE we had for a while that I liked was Chris Myarick.
He caught the game-winning* TD pass for the Giants.
Unexpected facts:
The Seahawks are in 1st place in the NFC West.
The Texans are tied for 1st in the AFC South although they have not won a game.
Brissett won.
Expected facts:
The Packers are in trouble at WR.
The Patriots are in last place in the AFC East.
So are the jests.
Jax beat the Colts last year game 1 and Steelers beat Buffalo. It’s game 1, don’t put too much stock into it
I just want to congratulate Geno on the W and thank him for giving an AFC team an L. Eight years in between starts. WTG Geno!
Their OL is terrible and their D played out their ass because it was vs Russ. It won’t last.
Seattle has 6 more games to win, 2 vs SF, 1 each vs AFC West sans Denver and whoever else they play in AFC East…oh never mind it’s jets, so whatever
Good choice, but without Tyreek we’re mostly the same O as last year and the O made some key 1st downs to keep the D off the field and never put them in a bad spot
Our D can play thus way mist weeks, if the O helps them out
https://www.thephinsider.com/2022/9/13/23349293/miami-dolphins-most-valuable-player-week-one
Onto Kohou, he was a gem in his limited snaps, like our guardian angel
I wouldn’t say it is mostly the same offense. Give the install a little time to sink in, see what the offense looks like. And certainly MM appears to trust the offense enough to play aggressive, which was not the case last year.

#13 fir us bills #1 as expected, jets #32😆
Crazy thing about the Giants W is they ran it (238 yards) down the throat of a good defensive team. Then their D kept Henry and Co. in check, for the most part.
That’s week 1 for you, more so than ever, with a lot of teams not playing starters in PS
As for our game against the cheats, we were about as advertised and similar to PS, as were the cheats and their O struggles
We kept hearing how LB was one of the weakest units on the team
Seems they played pretty well, considering AVG coming back for appendix only played 7 snaps, Tindall didn’t play much and Flowers was inactive
That’s some pretty good depth, that was barely on the field
If I had to guess where our 1st round pick will go, I’d have to say on OL or CB even though it seems were set there when Jones comes back (Jones trade in 2023 possible) or just BPA

Wow! when’s the last time this happened?
Looks like our coaching staff knows what they are doing.
My prediction is 24-17 Miami.
Kong…maybe Grier and his staff have finally been let loose. They really nailed this off season.
It sure seems we’re going in the right direction. We have a talented roster that is prepared and coached up from the top of the roster to the bottom.
It won’t be roses all season long; we’ll get punched in the mouth here at some point, and the real test will be how we respond when that happens…but right now we’re 1-0 with the #1 seed in the AFC 😭
lol, that was supposed to be a happy crying face
27-24 miami dolphins
Kader Kohou provided a big hit on Patriots receiver, Nelson Agholor, forcing a fumble which was recovered by Jaelan Phillips. Miami was able to ice away the game from that point on.
In addition to the late forced fumble, Kader Kohou – in just 18 defensive snaps played – had 3 tackles, a tackle for loss and a pass defensed (on a 4th and 3 situation for New England, no less).

That’s Sir Oinkalot’s emoji
Highest rated center even though he had at least two high snaps that Tua had to jump into the air to get!??
He also gave up the pressure that led to our first fumble, although he did recover it as well.
What I was thinking, and puts PFF into perspective
First play on O that high snap screwed up the timing on the play could’ve been a td
Although it’s nice to see he played well in his first start at C for us
For the ones with time to kill

Last year game 1 Howard had very little action his way, since he wasn’t occupied with his cover, he freelanced off and got the game winning fumble recovery
This year game 1 Waddle wasn’t getting the action he did last year, but when his opportunity came on 4th and 7 he was fresh and ready to go, and you could say the same with Kohou on his forced fumble
I expect more of these type of plays from playmakers hungry to contribute
Depth, keeping guys fresh, might be huge for us this year
Lol
Xavien Howard was targeted only once in the game and the pass was intercepted by Jevon Holland after Howard tipped it;
He was also targeted on the makeup holding call on the 4th down play in the endzone, same drive they scored the td.
You’re right, he was the guy charged with the phantom hold
For the end of the world guys
https://twitter.com/CameronFrye3/status/1569709552697839618?s=20&t=XEhO9s3CxAwzKMEaHGaABA
So if Boyer was running the show on D last year and Flores had no interest in the O, what was it that Flores did, that made people think he was a good coach?
Since the stinkin broadcast didn’t give it to us… (my wife was annoyed- she loves the Waddle)
I think it’s ridiculous, and worse when a group of them are doing it, especially Wilkins 😝
A celebration is supposed to be cool or witty, the waddle is anything but
I like it because it’s simple fun without being over the top self-aggrandizing or disrespectful, but I do have to admit it probably would never be labeled ‘cool’. 😁
You’re a curmudgeon. The waddle is funny and better than thug life poses.
LOVE IT!!!
I’d seen this on the highlights: Leonard Fournette leveled Micah Parsons on Sunday. Shannon and Skip discuss…
Excepting maybe Henry, I think fournette is the best ‘bruiser’ rb in the nfl. He’s a beast.
I dearly wanted a bruiser RB entering the 2022 season.
1A: Rashaad Penny
1B: Leonard Fournette
Clearly, Coach McDaniel doesn’t believe the need for as much.
Of course after watching the opening 10 seconds of the vid, it looks like just they’re talking about the block when Parsons was already engaged with the lineman.
I didn’t watch the rest because I can’t stand those guys, but I think that block is fine. He didn’t go low, so it wasn’t a chop block. They can’t take away double team blocks, so what is there to be called? It’s football.
Concurred! It’s football and it was a legal block.
However, I think if we see enough of this kind of LEGAL block continue (or increase in popularity), it may become outlawed by the No Fun League.
I’m kind of commenting my way through this, and I just looked it up to see what the fuss is about since I refuse to watch those assclowns on Undisputed, lol. I guess it was about a crack block since he couldn’t see Fournette, but it was still legal since it was in the chest.
yeah, violent hits like that, you get enough, they’ll try to take them away.
Hey a cosmic slip Cav.
I was in Boulder in the last week of June.
I had some awesome Kashmiri Rogan Josh
at the Dushanbe Tea House.
And several luscious herb teas.
Aha, so there was a naples/ boulder connection 😉
Lo
I think if you have an unusual, somewhat uncool name like Waddle, but then you embrace that with a penguin imitation for your TD dance, it is automatically reverse-cool and therefore, cool.
^
I like your thinking
Steve, you really don’t like Wilkins.
Sports Illustrated:
The Ravens managed just 64 yards rushing against New York. Newly signed Kenyan Drake got most of the workload and he finished with 31 yards on 11 carries.
Quarterback Lamar Jackson had just 17 yards on six carries but he had a deft scamper where he avoided several defenders and earned a first down.
and
“They’re very physical when moving players and that’s one of their challenges,” McDaniel said. “And you can’t take anything for granted really when you play a dynamic playmaker at the quarterback position like they have Lamar Jackson so it’s going to be a fun game, a challenging game, one that we’re going to have to leave no stone unturned in the entire process for us to come out the way we want to come out this coming Sunday.”
More from the Ravens beat writer on SI.com
“Last season, the Dolphins employed a Cover 0 defensive scheme that took the Ravens out of their game. Miami won that matchup 22-10.
Baltimore had 94 yards on 23 carries in that game. Jackson led the team with 39 yards rushing on nine carries.
McDaniel is expecting the Ravens to play much better, especially in their home opener.”
Finally,
“The Jets stacked the box and dared Jackson to beat them through the air, and that’s what he did, throwing three touchdown passes in the 24-9 victory.”
I think we have better cover DBs than the jests.
I’m more concerned about their pass-rushing prowess on D vs our O-Line, but that’s just me.
no me too
McDaniel said, “It’s as good of a challenge as you get in the National Football League,” McDaniel said about playing the Ravens. “I’ve been following that team, and it has spawned a ton of ideas for me personally in the run game. They do an unbelievable job at forcing you to defend all gaps and be sound …”
“the Ravens’ rushing attack struggled to get rolling in the opener against the New York Jets.
McDaniel is not putting much stock into that initial performance.”
The jets threw the ball 59 times against the Ravens, sheesh.
“The Dolphins have held opponents to 400 total yards or less in 13-straight contests, their longest since a 26-game streak from Oct. 30, 2005 to Dec. 31, 2006.”
Impressive… MOST impressive!
But we’re not jedi’s yet? 😉
dumb phone added the apostrophe lol
LOL @ CavKong! YOU KNOW where I was coming from!

Stanger, here’s the reference…
Thanks for the point — but didn’t we just win the laser saber fight with the dark and evil master?
Cav Kong,
Hey! I never got your thoughts on the last episode of “Obi-Wan Kenobi”. What did ya think? I LOVED IT!!!
Yeah, the build-up to it was a little shaky, but that final episode ROCKED, IMO!!!
I was ambivalent, liked some stuff, other stuff not so much.
liked the penultimate episode better when Vader went heavy metal
You mean, “YOU WERE WARNED… WHAT DEFEAT… WOULD BRING!!!”???
Ah, never mind. You’re speaking to Vader destroying the getaway ship that really wasn’t the getaway ship.
and beating the snot out of what’s her name in the most badass way
Wish me luck trying to get out of jury duty tomorrow
luck 🙂
Not sure if you get out of the duty itself, but no one will ever want you on a jury. One side will know they are weak on the law.
You’al watched the replay a bunch of times. Did X deserve a PI call on the endzone INT he batted to Holland? I’m thinking he did. Was grabbing enough for one.
It was clearly PI, no doubt; it’s why the makeup call they threw on X later didn’t bug me even though it gave them the ball back and ultimately 7 points.
We ended up ahead in that exchange because when they got their call the game was basically already over.
Or at least in my mind it was basically over, it was still the 3rd quarter, lol.
You just used a semi-colon — that’s like a punctuation mark adrift at sea in a lifeboat as far as this place is concerned. 🙂
Lol
Probably, but he had great position, his head was turned around, and made a play on the ball, had Parker have made a play on the ball with his right hand I think they call it
But those guys have gotten so many calls over the last 20 years, if it didn’t get called good enough for me
I think there was a bit of vet savvy in there as well, knowing the sideline ref probably couldn’t see the grab because of the angle.

I like him as a player, but I think he’s too childish at times, like he cares more about himself, and susceptible to bone-headed penalties, the way Landry was

Never claimed all your replies are negative. And can’t think of a one when it comes to football. We’re just hanging out here.
Good! I really enjoy talking football with ya… and yes, even politics (stop it M13! Don’t encourage Stanger! LOL).

I shouldn’t need to say this, yet I feel compelled to say this. My use of the exclamation point is 99% positive, fueled with ENTHUSIASM!

Now if I’m replying in a very terse and negative way, you won’t be seeing any exclamation points from me.
I use it as a point of exclamation!
Besides it’s easier for me to type than a period.
Did you guys catch the coaches handshake at the end of the game? Belicheck came steaming up from like 25 yards with his hand out. Soon as there was hand contact he did an abrupt 180 and steamed away. Look like McDaniel wanted to say something, but that was lost.
Didn’t see it live, but I saw it on the replay. Belicheat* is a prick, IMO. He at least could have had a few words with Coach McDaniel, congratulating him on his first NFL win as HC.
I was wondering if belicheat was steamed because we threw it in the final two minutes, if so, that’s crap. Pets had a timeout and we needed a first down to seal it.
Maybe he’s just sick and tired of losing to miami… 🤣
That may have been the case, but that still, IMO, doesn’t excuse Belicheat* from being a good sport. Lord knows he’s done far worse as HC of the Patsies*. Go out there and congratulate Coach McDaniel on his first NFL win.
Low class move, but did you catch him throwing tantrums on the sideline during the 4th Q? Maybe he knew he was not ready for polite conversation.
If we really wanted to ice it we would have kicked a field goal.
TJ Watt out 6 weeks, we play Pitt week 7 😁
WOAH!!! Good fortune for us!!! 😀
Nice!
Not sure of the math on that.
Does that mean we’ll be his first game back?
That would mean he’s out through game 7
Do the Ravens have injury problems at OT? I think they do.
Also I think Kenyan Drake is very fast, but he’s very inconsistent, so if he is their #1 rusher (besides Jackson), and they are having OL issues, then we might be able to make them throw and have another amoeba-fest.
And are they going to be starting 2 4th round rookies in the DB?
Against Hill and Waddle?
The more I’m looking at the matchup, the more I like it. It all starts with keeping Jackson contained, and we’ve got the speed on defense to do it.
I’m curious to see if they will line up in a lot of power sets/ 12 personnel and try to jam the ball down our throats and playaction to their TEs off that.
They tried playing that rookie TE Isaiah Likely against the jest, but he had a really rough game. The HC flat out said he is going to yell at the kid. TE is a difficult position to learn in the NFL.
I read somewhere that Baltimore’s OGs are both stiff and don’t bend.
Jeez if you stand straight up against us, both Wilkins and Seiler will blast right by you.
And you cannot block either Davis or Jenkins unless you get under Davis’s pads or dbl team the big guy.
Last year we got in Jackson’s head and psyched him out so badly he did not know where the pressure was coming from or who his hot read was.
Great profile of Tanner Conner by Barry Jackson. Hard for me not to think he is Gesicki’s replacement in waiting.
——————
“Miami had taken me on a 30 visit, so they obviously saw something they liked in me. And I felt a genuine relationship there and felt like I trusted who Embree was and his track record. Some teams hit me up the third day of the draft that I never talked to, and that’s kind of weird. You don’t want to sign somewhere where you never talked to them before. I went with what to me was loyalty.”
https://www.yahoo.com/news/rookie-tight-end-tanner-conner-173353611.html (no paywall)
I wonder if they trust Tindall enough yet to use him as a spy on Jackson.
I thought Phillips did well against him last year.
Whatcha gon’ do when Gesicki goes off for 150+ yards and 2+ TDs (probably in redzone sits) against some team this year?
Are ya going to trade him to the highest bidder, or do ya realize he BELONGS on this team?
We once had THREE towers as redzone targets, but now we’re down to one in Gesicki.
#1
I know Gesicki did not seem to contribute much, but he has never had much of a stat sheet vs. NE because taking the TE out of the game is a focus of bellicheat’s. He thinks that removes a safety valve of the QBs.
CORRECT! See my post regarding Gesicki vs Belicheat* all-time.
Naples, that wasn’t directed at YOU, rather others who don’t realize why we didn’t utilize Gesicki on Sunday as much as we could have.
I thought I read bellicheat’s lips when Tua was throwing those last second passes into the dirt to avoid the sack.
I think billie was yelling something about a Tuck Rule.
I’m no lip-reader myself, but I thought I read Belicheat* saying “good game”, and then he walked off.
no I meant when he was fuming at the refs about calling intentional grounding
I think it’s important for us to get a rushing TD from a RB from at least 18+ yards out against the Ravens.
That would be most ideal! Where’s Ricky Williams? LOL
‘Fast-n-furious’ is all fun and games… and it can be MOST LETHAL to an opposing Defense. But if we can’t gain the hard yards between the chains on the ground, ‘Fast-n-furious’ could become a mere gimmick.
I know you alluded to it earlier, but we are not really built for smash mouth.
for sure we do not have a BruiserBack on the roster.
So I think we need to get some of those like you see in Mostert’s highlight reel.
Or at least spring Chase for a catch and run in the 20s for a TD.
especially if it can come early in the game.
Just to loosen up their LBs, so their DL can’t dig in and wall up against the rush plus tee off on Tua.
Belichick was pissed because he got out-coached by a newbie….lmao!
yep
We also have more talent than they do.
He was out-coached, TK….MM trusted his analytics and his people to execute….that was my point
I said also. 😉
That’s another point? Lol
Belichick wasted a few TOs in my opinion….he was like, wtf? Lol…
He blinked a few times…..I fucking loved it…lol
The TD before halftime was dagger….
Something NE was very good at doing when Brady was there.
It really was a gloriously crushing play.
I loved his sideline ranting/crying toward the end of the game…lmao
It takes a strong person to admit they got their ass whooped. …he couldn’t do it…lol
Any news on Cethan Carter?
I haven’t been able to find news on any of our injuries. it seems we’ll have to wait until that 1st injury report tomorrow.
Someone here said it was a head injury/concussion, is that what it was? I never knew during the game.
Found it

Questionable
Miami coach Mike McDaniel said Monday that Carter is in concussion protocol, David Furones of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
Nothing about Armstead or Little, so I assume that is good news.
And there you have it. Thanks, Kong.
I’m watching the all-22 review Wyo posted earlier. The guy says with 6 minutes left when morestead punted it from about the 50, the snap was bad and bounced 2 feet in front of him, and he still got it off and down at the 4.
I saw a low snap, but didn’t see it bounce off the ground. That’s a hell of a play, not to mention the 58 yarder which was a big field position play. Definitely an upgrade over lame-ass Palardy from last year.
Crafty and talented vet. Handled it just like Fields would have.
LOL
I think what happens in week one with players who didn’t get much or any PS action and then they start that first week can get banged up. Look around the league, lots of players went down for the year or for considerable time. They try to protect the players these days but with less physical action during TC also has a negative effect. Not every injury, but some of them.
This is so weird to me…no paywall…lol

Any rating system that has Wentz in the top five is questionable
I thought special teams were special last week….
I think the run game will get better and more efficient as the season progresses because there is a system to it. It depends on blocking from all 9 other guys. As they get more in sync together it will show up more in the stats.
Agreed. McDaniel said we have things to clean up and some starters just got game snaps for the first time like a lot of teams. It should get better in time. Week 1 is always the first go at it and unpredictable.
“If you want to be a good team in this league, you have to be playing your best football in the end of November and in December months,” he said Monday. “So that’s what we’re gearing towards and there were definitely no celebrations or parties today.”

#1 seed too
Has bellicheat lost his marbles?
https://www.nbcsports.com/boston/patriots/bill-belichick-oddly-optimistic-after-another-poor-patriots-performance
They have a solid team that is well coached. I just don’t think they have enough elite talent. Who is the big player on the Patriots? I can’t think of one.
https://www.si.com/nfl/dolphins/news/miami-dolphins-week-2-power-rankings-roundup
Very positive overall except SI’s own which is douchey
You know what we saw on Sunday against the Pats was Belichick on how to defend the bootlegs. He’s known how to defend that for decades. He always has a player to combat that. Tua had to go into improv mode multiple times and he’s still not there yet. This offense is still in the learning process.
Chase must be a Fins Fan???
I’ll say this Edmonds is a weapon both rushing and receiving. Not just about stats but what he brings to the table. He’s an excellent receiver. He’ll have his moments as a rusher. But he’s another receiver out of the backfield when you need it.
Our running game is not built on smash mouth. It’s about movement and speed.
We all saw what a difference Armstead makes at LT. That’s Tua’s strong side which people forget about. It’s not all about the blind side.
Earlier someone reported that Armstead and Little were not on Miami’s injury report. While that MAY MEAN they’re not injured, it may also mean the FO is awaiting test results OR that more tests are pending. It’s a “little” too early to give the “all clear” on both of them just yet. Plus, there’s no need to give Harbaugh a heads up on these two until we absolutely have to. I’d sure hate to have to play Baltimore minus Armstead and Little in the 2nd week of the season.
OK, boyz and girlz, the 1972 Dolphins are one of the most famous teams ever, Primarily because of the “El Perfecto” season they had. However, the ’72 Dolphins ALSO did something, record wise, that had never been done before AND has never been done since.
GIVE UP???
The ’72 Dolphins are the only franchise to lose the Super Bowl one season and come back and WIN IT THE NEXT SEASON!!! This year’s entry, the Cincinnati Bengals, who lost the last Super Bowl, seem very unlikely to return to the Super Bowl this season, let alone WIN IT!!
One thing I DO KNOW FOR SURE: NO TEAM will ever lose the Super Bowl one season and come back and have A PERFECT SEASON the next year!!—I’ll save my prediction for the Ravens game until we know more about Armstead and Little.
Y’all have a great evening and a better tomorrow!
What does 50 years ago have to do with today?

Meh…a Tua hater trying to support his bias.
(How tough was the call to go with WR Trent Sherfield and promoting WR River Cracraft instead of WR Erik Ezukanma? I know Erik obviously has flashed, but you have a background with Trent and River and they are trustworthy. What went into that decision? How tough a call was that?) – “No, it was tough because you know that Erik (Ezukanma) can make plays, but at the same time, we were anticipating some position versatility that we needed and having River come up, he can make a ton of plays, too. I think that is something that it is tough when you have multiple players that you’re confident in, but at the same time, you embrace those decisions on a weekly basis because it’s not what you’re left with, it’s who gives you the best opportunity in the given gameplan. So I was happy for River to get in and get some plays and I told Erik that it’s also an opportunity for him. Any time you’re not active on the active roster, the tendency for players to do is to is to – it sucks for them and they want to hide from the moment. I just told him, ‘No, this is something that you use to your advantage moving forward. You take in the environment. You take in the plays that you think you could make out there, and you use that as motivation moving forward to be extra detailed on your game plan. And as soon as he just gives the rest of his team the confidence that he can own game plans week-in, week-out from multiple positions, he won’t have that problem anymore, which he understood and he is going to move forward amicably.”
I just wish reporters and fans around the league would stop falling in love with day 3 rookie QBs. They were picked there for a reason.
During the PS S. T. played against the BUs and did well. That’s promising, but he is on the side to learn and pick Tua and Teddy’s brains.
Teddy at the most is a 5th round pick. Forget that, keep him for insurance.
Oh maybe we won’t have grilled food at the Fest this year because of one dumbass!

I doubt they’ll out law grilling, but the grilling police might be stopping by.
The dumb shit shoved his grill with hot coals under his car under the gas tank. It’s too bad he wasn’t in the car when it happened…lol. Geez, loueez…
Apologies if anyone has tweeted this and I missed it, but I love what Tua did on this play. Check the first and second tweets in the thread. When he’s starting to do the finesse stuff he’s getting to the next level. Don’t see it on every play yet, but it’s a good sign in my eyes.
That’s what Joe Montana and Steve Young lived on. Quick throws to receivers who can make plays. Have we all noticed that we don’t run goofy bubble screens over and over? Have we even run one?
Darth Kader!
We can play better
and
Adam Archuletta was very biased.

If Tua had made the TD pass that Mac Jones made, Twitter would’ve blown up with ridicule and mean memes.
The pass from Jones was to a wide open guy standing at the 2 with the coverage LB miles away, and yet the pass was so off that the receiver had to dive back away from the end zone and fall completely down on his belly, then roll like a toddler across the goal line.
That’s true, Tua would be getting killed if that was his pass.
btw
is it the best use of Phillips to ask him to line up off the LOS and pick up a back releasing into the flat? at the 2 yard line?
It’s not about being the best, it’s about being multiple, so the O doesn’t know who is rushing
The element of surprise causes confusion or straight out missed assignments, like we saw with the Jones sack
about Phillips,
maybe Jason Taylor can tell him what to do when a tackle plays him like Trent Brown did.
Phillips got stonewalled.
There has to be a way to speed rush those big strong guys.
However, Phillips used his speed and athleticism to recover that fumble!!
Somebody forward this to Boyer to study how the patsies beat us.
Seriously. Great analysis.

Not that they will read it here, but I just have to put this out into the universe.
THE MIAMI DOLPINS SO NOT PLAY IN SOUTH BEACH. THE TEAM HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH SOUTH BEACH. SOUTH BEACH HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THE MIAMI DOLPHINS!!!!!
FUCKTARDS STOP MENTIONING SOUTH BEACH WHEN YOU DISCUSS MIAMI DOPHINGS!!!!
^^^^^^
I think they think it makes them sound cool.
Not.
It’s just more shabby sloppy lazy “journalism.”
OD SB trivia is wrong
Super Bowl V – Wikipedia
It was the fifth edition of the Super Bowl and the first modern-era NFL championship game. The Colts defeated the Cowboys by the score of 16
Super Bowl VI was an American football game between the National Football Conference champion Dallas Cowboys and the American Football Conference champion Miami Dolphins to decide the National Football League champion for the 1971 season..we all know thebresult
It happened more recently too.
Patriots lost SB LII to the Eagles, then won SB LIII against the Seahawks.
*Correction they won against the Rams
LOL
She looks REALLY good as a ref. LOL
And everyone else she portrayed
wow … she must have a really high IQ.
Get her to replace Archuletta right away.
LOL, ‘OK, AFC South, not one of you won this week, and two of you played each other…’
MAN! What a whiff by the RG on this one1
Who would want to see Zorro topless?
That is a good view on the first drive fumble. I thought it was William’s man who got the hit (mentioned it yesterday), but it actually wasn’t, he tried to get back to help.
Well, Zach Wilson is going to bring his talent to Islip!
That sounds as logical as anyone bringing anything to south beach.
Especially since they play in NJ!
hoops alert
OK, it’s been 50 years. Can we PLEASE stop talking about it? Who F’n cares!?
