Finsmob Unleashed 
Chiefs loss was some salt in the wound cuz with a win we’d be #1 in AFC with 5 games to go. 😣
Chargers are banged up as much as any team in the league. They are not as scary as much as they seemed early in the year.
at Buff could be for the division.
GB playing better all of a sudden, and Pats/Jets are tough outs as division foes..,
BUT, 4-1 over last 5 is very realistic … 12-5 season (?) If this happens I think ALL of us would have taken it regardless of the playoff spot.
I would love for fans to get a home playoff game, though!
^
Would’ve been better if Chiefs had won, since we lost
I think we will see Tua and Waddle added to the injury report for ankle issues.
Looks like we may still be cheering for Pats to be spoilers … vs Bengals (week 16) and at Bills (week 18).
OR Bengals could end up winning their division over the Ravens. I am pulling for both of them to lose though. I think Ravens are at the Steelers this weekend.
Steelers are playing better now too, so if no Lamar, that’s a tough game
I too take solace from the 2 TD passes.
They show we have not lost our quick strike ability.
I also saw open WRs on many plays that Tua normally connects.
If Tua normally hit on only 55% of his passes,
I’d be worried.
If our WRs could not get open,
I’d be worried.
If we had run the ball 25 times for 35 yards, or something like that,
I’d be worried.
(We ran it 8 for 32 yds, which is 4+ per carry,
which is not bad at all against the #1 D in the league.)
8 carries for 33 yards … sheesh … can do math but can’t type
I thought besides Bosa,
their LBs won the game for them.
Greenlaw and Warner just dominated.
They beat people up, especially our 2 small WRs.
It might be better for us if the Bengals help eliminate NE and then win their division, because we still have to play NE up there, and we hold the tie breaker with the Ravens but not the Bengals.
Single team tie breakers
what does this mean?
Head to head tie breakers only come into play, if all teams tied have played each other
If there’s a 3 team tie between us, Balt and LAC and LAC and Balt don’t play during the season, our win over Balt means nothing
Kong – in reply to your 9:42 from last page (got washed away in page trun)
Thanks Kong – you saved me a whole lot of typing there. Agree with all the above. I’d add – not only does December January get more pressurised where the cream starts to rise, but the weather plays a part. You have to stay on the field on 3rd down (especially 3rd and short) and get the other team off the field on third down. We are capable of spectacular plays on both sides of the ball, but not consistently. There are teams who can also make spectacular plays but will keep that up for most of the regular season and play-offs.
Our running game yesterday was weak at best (and under-used). SF took Tua’s favourite middle away much more than other teams have done and he looked bewildered. They got to him a lot and he started hearing footsteps. He tried too hard, too often. Even coach blamed himself.

Wilson Jr was off. Waddle was injured. Armstead was out. We had a lot of adversity and didn’t overcome it. Having said all that, saw a couple of Tweets:
“Last year, the Bills played the league worst Jaguars and lost 6-9 in a game that Josh Allen threw for 264 yds no TD and 2 INT. Good teams have bad games. Great teams have bad games. This is the NFL, grow up and realize if we don’t look perfect every week the team isn’t cooked”.
“We played the worst game we have played all year and still came close to beating one of the hottest teams in the NFL. It can’t look like this the rest of the season, but one game doesn’t change my opinion of this team. 8-4 and firmly in the playoffs at this moment”.
I too think this was just one game. But measured against “winning it all”, we probably have too many deficiencies. Marcel tweeted this mid-game “Dolphins’ rank 24th in 3rd down defense this season and it’s showing today. 49ers are 5/9 now on third down and have converted on their past three attempts”
We have got to where we are today (still with a healthy record, and in a play-off spot) with an exciting fast paced attack and stopping the other team when it really, really mattered more often than not. That attack, though, is not unstoppable at times (as we’ve seen) and it still too one-dimensional. And if the D has a bad day and doesn’t come up with that stop we are out of the race in the play-offs.
I love watching this team. It’s relevant and exciting. It’s not where it needs to be yet to go all the way. We also may not have the ammo to get us over the hump. I’m not gonna get too stressed about that though. Que sera, sera. There’s a lot of good people trying to get us there and fingers crossed they can.
If nothing else, that got the MVP and unstoppable nonsense to go away and some realism may just be what we need to start another run. The great thing is that with a healthy #10 and #17, we should be in most games right to the death.
Cheers, UK. It’s good to be relevant, and debate things on the board like the loss yesterday after 5 straight wins, instead of debating just how bad we are – like we’ve had to do the last 15 years, lol.
And even with everything that happened yesterday, we still had an opportunity to take the lead in that game in the 4th.
There is still a path to the #1 seed despite yesterday… it of course will require catching KC… If we manage to win out, Chiefs have to go to LVRaiders to finish the season, and Raiders (like Det and Pitt) seem to have found themselves. But, with 5 weeks to go the scenarios are still to complex to worry about until we win our own games. 🙂
We have a rookie HC.
He’s never even been the play caller before.
He’s never coached the defense before or the STs.
Just yelling “f’n fix that” on the sidelines during a game
is not going to cut it.
Why did he not try to run Wilson more?
ALSO
The refs called several really ticky tack calls against us.
(especially the holding call on Hunt)
Even the announcers in the booth said so multiple times.
and the Tripping call
Ugh, that was the worst luck. You could see his foot was hung up on another Niners foot as the ball carrier went through the gap between them.
Wilkins was a beast yesterday, and I think Kohou may be the best CB on the team now.
I was furious yesterday, mostly because I have so many Niners friends, but I’m more accepting of the loss today. We had a subpar game. I fully expect us to come out and play a very good game against the Chargers.
We’re off to Hawaii. Cheers 🙂
Enjoy. Look out for volcanoes.
Enjoy! That’s on my bucket list.
Speaking of bad officiating
Do you guys remember this pick play on the SF first TD?
https://twitter.com/theflyingpig44/status/1599518390133080064?s=21
Still photo?
It’s a screenshot of the pick
Steve
I get that about the tie breaker, but I was not proposing a 3 way.
Looking at the scenarios, there’s 1 team from the North, the 6-6 Chargers, none from South, and 3 from East which div tie breakers would prevail first, so not much chance of a 3 team tie for WC
I thought besides Bosa,
their LBs won the game for them.
Greenlaw and Warner just dominated.
They beat people up, especially our 2 small WRs.
————————
Naples, I am glad you brought this up. I think those 2 also affected Tua in a way. Even though the WR’s he was missing wear open to an extent. Those LB’s were playing deep, especially on 2nd and 10 or 3rd and long. They were, at times 15 to 20 yards down field taking away those deep crossers.
MM should have called more stuff underneath and more running plays. I bet no one is more frustrated than RB Jeff Wilson getting only 1 carry vs his old team.
Call out MM, when he’s to blame, he’ll tell you as much
That’s what’s so dangerous about our O, even when guys aren’t playing up to par, there’s still corrections that can be made to get around it
Once MM really figures things out…and it could happen this season
Lose to Buff, beat jets, cheats and LAC and we should be fine for WC at 11-6
Beat LAC or Cheats and that coupled with 1 more win eliminates them from our WC hopes, beat both and go 10-7 and we’re in
The outcome for Sunday appeared in a tweeted vision.
https://twitter.com/buitengebieden/status/1598453559267414035
Herbert, the long-haired sheep, is directionless, whilst Tua, the GOAT, stays on top.
Baker Mayfield waived. What a dramatic fall over the last few years. I bet 49ers will stick with 7th rd QB over this former #1. lol
Turnovers seem to be strongly correlated to our record:
8 wins – total of 4 turnovers with a +8 ratio
4 losses – total of 11 turnovers with a -10 ratio
Take care of the ball and good things will happen.
MikeE,
deGrom out, Verlander in. wow. 1st world problems for the Mets lol
I would prefer to get younger in the rotation, and also get some continuity as well. We’ll be playing musical chairs with our rotation every 2 years the way they’re building the team
Those LBs getting deep is what caused so many high throws by Tua.
Cleveland tried to do that too if you recall,
but we scorched them underneath and with a rushing attack.
I can’t figure out why we did not do that against SF.
Maybe McDaniel was just as nervous as Tua.
I kinda forgot what NON VICTORY Monday felt like 😕…. Phindog told me I am not allowed to attend any more games in person , as we are 0-2 this year .. I don’t think I will be needing to apologize after the Chargers game …
Aloha Cav.. have a blast
Feeling better today. Two OTs out, playing best defense, Tua has bad game. Hoping Armstead comes back very soon.
What are the thoughts on teams we likely beat? I think Chargers, Pats, and Packers are very, very winnable. All three have major issues we can exploit easily. I think the Jets are our nemesis this year with the perfect counter to our strengths and weaknesses. They have another amazing defense, and their QB isn’t a 7th rounder so I think it will be hard unless Wilson starts. The Bills, I don’t see us sweeping.
Whale shite!
I don’t think he’s worth keeping. He’s always injured and plays poorly when not. Grier may need an OL coach to help him with drafting OL.
Wow I didn’t know Eric fisher was a free agent
I know he’s past his prime but this is a former all pro OT
I would rather give a vet a shot than a young guy
He tore his Achilles in 2020 and didn’t come back strong in 2021
So maybe in 2022 he can Be a little of what he used to be
Hope this has more to do with Jackson than Armstead
Win some upcoming winnable games, get some starters healthy and back in the lineup.. start the playoffs with a better lineup than we have fielded since week 2 and see where we go … it’s a fun season with some ugly downs and some euphoric highs … FINS UP
Fisher was all pro in 2020.
Good job, Grier.
Fisher never lived up to his billing. He struggled at LT but did well when they moved him to RT then he got hurt
Fisher was also all pro in 2018.
He’s 6’7.5, 306 and did 27 reps at the Combine.
Fisher won a Super Bowl
and was coached by Andy Reid,
so he knows stuff.
He’s *only* 31, which is not that old for an OL.
There is a reason why he was not on a roster. Don’t get me wrong I like the signing but he is not Terron Armstead. He is a mid tier player at this point
No one is comparing him to Armstead, we have issues on the OL and need reinforcements
He tore his Achilles in 2020
He was a very good OL when that occurred
He missed the super bowl and the chiefs were eaten alive by Bucs Bc of it
He signed with the colts
He wasn’t good with the colts
So don’t read to much into him being a free agent now
Maybe he is fisher from the colts
But also maybe he can be fisher from chiefs
Maybe he was just slow to recover from an Achilles injury
Or maybe he never recovers
But he was a good Ot before the injury
I don’t know much about this stuff but how likely is it to find a top tier OL player floating around? They don’t grow on trees in Tim’s backyard.
This one was actually in a tree in Tim’s backyard
Tim is an excellent farmer
May have been more like a shrubbery
One that’s nice and not too expensive.
Actually I just read that fisher started 15 games for the colts in 2021
That colts OL was pretty good last year
Read a lot of the comments and seems the consensus was Tua was just off yesterday. Could not agree more. He plays like he has all year and we win. Have an anology on that.
As Mike E said — he was just too amped up. Like hitting a softball or baseball. You try to muscle it too much and stuff is jerky, the connection just not there. Has to be smooth and fluid. That’s when it works.
High throw after high throw was bugging me out. Tua wasn’t trying to do them that way….. he just wasn’t relaxed.
Just like when a pitcher’s control is off, it happens.
It’s early I know but pork don’t care

https://twitter.com/pig_page/status/1599878097863516160?s=61&t=ZG6nAFvUQjS4NhewCkBVrw
Best part was when it looked at the camera while walking off looking like Larry Bird in a 3-pointer contest. lol
Yips v amps…lol.
I don’t think Tua had the yips. There was no reason to be yippy. His first play was a strike for a 75 yd TD!!!
His next 6 incompletions he had no pressure, a free pocket, and missed badly on every throw.
Amped!!! He was off the charts wacked out….T on T on T….I was like WTF? These are 5-10-15 yard easy precision throws….lol!!!
Time to move on to next game…and no more fucking excuses…lol
He had an off game but he also made some great throws. Just not enough. He’s not the only QB to have an off game. I’ve seen much worse than that.
Agreed, TK. He did. Time to move on. He’s a much better QB and we know that.
I still think the D was part of the TOP issue. I don’t discount the 3 and outs by our O contributing to this challenge.
However, allowing long sustained drives contributes immensely to your own demise in TOP…lol….get the other team off the fucking field….it’s your job
What I’m seeing from our defense is even when we get pressure the QB can still find an open receiver. That and our tackling is very up and down. We had 5 guys on Deebo for an 8 yard loss and he picked up 5 to make it only a minus 3. I’ve seen stuff like that too often. Every defender has to improve their tackling technique. They have to go for the legs, not flailing at the upper body.
Ingold and Wilkins had some great TFLs!
Baker was everywhere….
Not saying nobody on defense played well, but collectively we miss too many tackles and have busted coverages. Wilkins has been a great player for us since we drafted him and he continues to get better. Baker played a good game.
Ingold had TFLs?
I was yelling at the TV when I saw a circle of white (several times!!!!!) and McCaffrey or Mason just ducked and juked out of serious potential TFLs. Tackle the mother fucker!!! Lol!
Ingram…oops
Yeah that’s what I mean. It wasn’t scheme, tackling has been sub par a lot of the time. We have plays destroyed and we let them escape way too often.
And, I don’t know why MM doesn’t try running the ball more….I don’t get it….they seem to killing it when given the opportunity. Maybe, I’m hallucinating….lol
I think our running game has been based on opponent. Sometimes MM thinks our best way to score is to pass and it has been most of the time. We’ve been banged up on the OL most of the season, that plays a role in it too.
Maybe, but 8 times is not even testing the waters….wtf?
Yeah that always annoys me too. You usually lose when that’s the case.
I suspect we won’t really see a good running game until 2023
This team is a work in progress
I think a lot of us forget that. But winning gets us excited. We’re in the mix. 8-4 is a lot better than 4-8.
OL, CB and RB look to be the targets in the offseason. We need to get younger at RB with at least one guy who shows future promise.
RIP, Kristie Alley
Sorry… RIP, Kirstie Alley
RIP, she was a good entertainer.
Strictly my opinion… if we didn’t have backups starting at the Tackle positions, we’d have won the game yesterday.
Yes, that means if we had a healthy Terron Armstead starting yesterday, we’d probably have won the game.
We NEED reliable bookend Tackles (availability > playability) to make this thing work. Otherwise, we’ll get blown out of the playoffs if we make it.
That’s why talent matters. But still it’s one loss against the NFC. 4th quarter is was 23-17 and we didn’t get it done. It wasn’t an awful loss. Give the 49ers some props because they’re a good team too. The idea that we must win every game now is not realistic.

—————–
But that’s why this loss stings so badly… it was 23-17 late into the 4th quarter, and we fell on the sword… and against their 3rd-string QB.
No, it’s not the end of the world for this season at all, but it HURTS.
We’re going to get bounced if Terron can’t come back healthy this year, ya know.
You know what… that 3rd string rookie QB didn’t play like that. Tip your hat and move on. One game doesn’t define anything. Isn’t it cool to be in the mix and in the conversation?
You’re not wrong… but had we won yesterday, we’d be the #1 seed in the AFC.
So close, my guy!
I felt some LOVE(!) on this blog when we signed Terron Armstead this past season! Some recalled that Armstead was one of my ‘man crushes’ out of Arkansas Pine Bluff, even before the Combine!
Sadly, I realized (even before we signed him) that he can’t stay healthy. That’s a problem, Houston.
We have 5 games to go, 8-4 overall, 6-2 conference and 2-1 division. Enjoy it! 🙂
Maybe Tua is so pissed at himself he has a chip on his shoulder against the Chargers. FinsUp!!!!!
I saw it on the sidelines yesterday, in-game: yes, Tua was PISSED at himself and he’s got a chip on his shoulder.
The Tua/Herbert game. Oh my! LOL
Tim – I’m going to be very disappointed in the Mets if they don’t re-sign Nimmo. Not doing that will really hurt this team. He’s so good in so many ways. Great defender, great leadoff hitter, works pitchers every AB. He runs the bases so well, his only weakness is he doesn’t steal bases. He’s a great team player, homegrown talent. Who cares what other teams are offering, offer more!
Mike E, I finished the King Of Ashes yesterday and started Queen of Storms. I am liking the series very much. It took me a while (about 1/3 the book) to get into it. His writing style is different in the new books (not surprising, he would grow / develop of 40 years LOL ) He is not as bad as Ambercrombe, but his use of vulgarity was the biggest difference between his old style and his current books.
I am enjoying it. Thanks for bringing the books to the fest for me to borrow. I will text you to get your address so I can ship them back to you. (Hard Covers are not giveaways @ $29.95!!)
Bring it to the next Fest, no need to ship it. Glad you’re enjoying it. The 3rd book is really good too!
So it looks like Jones is pulling a Fuller this year. He restructured he deal before the season and then decided to get surgery in March, but was going to be ready for opening game??? BS He took his pay cut and decided to get it for free IMO.
He’s gone next season. Too bad Iggy is an F’n bust! He should have been really turning it on this season! Sigh. We need a RT, CB and YES ISLB!
FUCK! I won’t be able to watch the Bills / Dolphins game!!! Mother F’rs!!
It is being switched to NFL network which was removed from my channel line up last year when the NFL demanded more money from the cable providers and mine said no.
The game will be carried by ONE station in Miami and will not be broadcast in Palm Beach where more than 1/2 the local fans live!!!
Go to a sports bar
Me neither. No way I’ll be staying awake after the amount I’ll be supping that night until 4:30am, Sunday morning. Replay for me.

If you live outside Dade/Broward and don’t have NFL Net, go to a sports bar.
FUCK YOU NFL
Show Zach some Probowl love.
Based on what? His salary, his draft status…
If he makes the PB he’s gone in 2024.
Why are you trying to get rid of him?
I suspect his probowl attendance won’t be the only reason he gets attention? I could be wrong.
The biggest play of the game was the Gesicki 4th and 2 overturned
He took 3 steps with the ball + got a knee down, then went OB and the ball moved, horrible call
Which just goes to show you they’ll make the ruling however they want regardless of what actually happened
I can’t even seen ruling it as they did, if it was ruled incomplete on the field, let alone overturn it
Bad ref calls are a real problem in a sport that allows widespread gambling. They change games more than any player or coach and have zero accountability. It affects how much I enjoy the games as true competitive events.
Gesicki thought it was a catch too
I guess the old cliche applies though – you really can’t count on the refs
In this case the overturned catch wasn’t the worst call of the day
But it had a huge impact
if that catch isn’t overturned I think we drive the field and score and take the lead with time running out
The officiating was very disappointing – but I just want to move on at this point. We know we didn’t okay good enough to win and we have big games in front of us
Rock, you can do a free trial on Fubo (streaming)

Consider it done – can’t remember do you want “Mancave” as well? It’s £60 for Platinum (I’ll try for £50 as he was running that offer a while back) or £80 (if offer still on) for Mancave + Platinum – the former is a VOD films and series service featuring 4k + HD stuff.
Let me know and I’ll send the details over.
Herd – sent you details for both – just let me know which option and whether you want me to act as go-between initially. 👍
So ……… Morocco just beat Spain on pens and the winning pen taker ……. did the Waddle to celebrate. 😄
And here it is ……..
I think we do whatever we can for Wilkins….
https://phinphanatic.com/2022/12/06/christian-wilkins-continues-dominate-needs-new-contract/
Having a great year Krishna and had an even better game
Does it every year…just not noticed for some reason.
For, statheads….curious about some of it…
https://dolphinswire.usatoday.com/lists/dolphins-49ers-pff-grades-2022/
I thought Chubb had a bad game for us vs. SF.
Well, I could have picked a better game to attend this year. My boys and I were going nuts on that Sherfield TD, but it steadily got worse. SF did a great job taking advantage of the OL and Tua just seemed uncomfortable and off all game. Was really surprised how well Purdy played.
Critical stretch coming up. Dolphins need to get healthy and back on track. We really don’t want to have a road game at Buffalo in the first round.
drg — great to see you, great to hear you saw the game, sorry wan’t a win. Stop by more often my friend. Few folks from the board were in the stands as well. You guys could have met up.
That’s some funny shit right there.
LMAO!
LOL
Rams claim former No. 1 pick Baker Mayfield off waivers
————–
Can’t be no worse than Stafford has been playing.
We will never see the Stafford we saw last year again. IMO
Jaelan Phillips is the Dolphins nomination for the Walter Payton NFL Man of the Year Award.
7 playoff spots in the AFC. We are 2 games ahead of the teams (Chargers and Pats) in the #8 and #9 slots with five games left.
Sorta interesting to be on the inside looking out on that scenario versus in years past. Just gotta win some football games…. and doesn’t have to be all of them.
If we can beat the Chargers, we’ll virtually eliminate them.
Depends on what the jest do, of course,
but I am counting on them beating the Bills.
Phins are 2.5 favorites at LA. Nice to hear.
Mike, I agree on Nimmo. Was just talking with friends who are also Mets fans and we all agree.
First game I went to in Vegas, Nimmo was playing for triple A Las Vegas 51s, he didn’t seem like an MLB prospect
He’s a ball player who continued to hone his skills. He’s a very good MLB player. As a Mets fan I want him back.
What about the Eric Fisher signing?
Jahn and I decided we’re not going to anymore games cause we lose when we’re there. Or is it the all white uniforms? They looked like the stars war storm troopers.
LOL, just know you never have anything to do with it as fans.
The Fisher signing shows us how rough it’s been for us at the tackle position with injuries.
But is he still good?
No idea.
We need to make the playoffs and get Armstead back. He makes a huge difference.
So rockslide on Coastal highway, had to reroute inland … from Carmel .. kinda sucked but at least we weren’t in it … staying Cambria tonight , explore a hit on way into LA
Fisher will fill a hole at very least.. any more than that will be a bonus
That’s what it’s all about. LOL
…….. as the actress said to the bishop
Anyone going to Chargers game and looking for pre-match entertainment on 10th?
That’s pretty cool, but 75 or so miles to stadium
Judge spurns SF and signs same deal w/Yankees, 9YR/$360M. SF has to be hurting right now
It makes sense though. His name and brand are worth more in a Yankee uniform than any where else. I don’t think SF is surprised. They took their swing at him but it was always a long shot
His stats will be higher in NY too, it’s no surprise the top 2 AL HR hitters for a season are/were Yankees, with that short RF porch
Stanger – Congrats on the Pirates winning the first MLB Draft lottery!
Didn’t even notice, but that for sure was a well-deserved win… lol
Does anyone think that Judge will still be playing ball at 40? Will he still be worth over 10 mil per season? These contracts baffle me.
Of course not. The question is is he worth the totality of the contract over the next 4-5 years? That will be measured by if they win a championship or not
Not likely unless they shore up their pitching
All they really need is 1 more starter or Severino to stay healthy
He’s making 40m per year on average, I think in 10 years 10m would be a bargain for him even at 40
Just FYI you are responding to a typo. I meant 40 mill when I posted. So nine years from now will he still be worth 40 million a year
I remember thinking the same thing when I watched it live
I just watched this Ken, and anyone pinning all the blame on Tua being off should watch it. It’s a team game and a team loss, but Tua played a big part. That is beyond question.
My feelings exactly
Keystone Cops! Players taking themselves out of the play!
OK
I feel bad for Von Miller but I am still doing a happy dance
It’s wrong to wish ill on any pro-athlete with a limited career and earning power (at least in terms of on-field time), but this announcement hasn’t caused me to break down in tears, and I suspect Tua is similarly heartened.
ok
ok
ok
Means they started the 3 week return window.
Noooooooo
Stuff of your worst nightmare.
Ken
I mentioned the pick play live when it happened
You could see it in real time it was so obvious
We’re going to see more and more of these long term contracts in MLB and I think it’s going to haunt teams down the road.
I didn’t pay attention but I saw today that someone else signed an 11 year 300mil contract as well.
Trea Turner from the Phillies.
Tagovailoa, the third-year Dolphins quarterback, has 138,390 fan votes, the most of any player in the NFL.
In addition to Tagovailoa, the Top 5 players in fan voting are Vikings wide receiver Justin Jefferson (137,826), Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes (133,607), Dolphins wide receiver Tyreek Hill (132,100) and Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce (131,378)
MM said it’s possible Armstead plays this week.
Based on them saying was a judgment call last week… has to be more likely than not.
Can’t find the article but I read earlier that MM said the signing of Eric Fisher was the chance to add a vet for depth who has a lot of big game experience and the team expects to play beyond the regular season.
From what I understand, we were looking to sign Fisher even before Armstead ripped his pec.
Yes
I cannot believe that today was the first day I heard of the Eric Fisher signing. SMH @ myself for not knowing that and I don’t know that anybody even posted it here when it happened.
GREAT signing what with our injuries on the O-Line. Hopefully, we can make him great again with our outside ZBS. Dude has always been a very good run-blocker, and perhaps his pass-pro will benefit from our system.
If he’s got anything left and can help us it was a solid move.
100%
And I just want to say… LOL… FUCK the media! That Tua is the #1 vote-getter for the Pro Bowl is a CLEAR referendum on their nefarious BS!
GO TUA!!!
HELL YEAH!!!
They are waiting to pounce on Tua. Still not sure why. He’s the only QB who’s not allowed to have a rough game.
I’ve got theories, and they are probably all ‘conspiratorial’, LOL. 😆
Kidding/not kidding… 😡
Cheetah…I had no idea he had such big game…..kudos the MVP.

Is anybody out there writing or saying that Lovie Smith figured out how to beat the McDaniel offense and Shanahan played that to perfection?
I do think Tua wanted to beat McDaniel’s old coach so much (to pay Mike back for all the good vibes) that he was nervous and pressing.
I do think McDaniel was also nervous and abandoned the run too quickly, perhaps seduced by the early Sherfield TD, to go all in on the pass game and ignore the run.
Concerning the deep drop by the ILBs that disrupted the favored middle passing game of Miami, especially Waddle,
why did McDaniel not just go with the solution he employed against the Browns,
who have a similar Defense and pass rush stars?
Is it possible in some remote corner of human psychology that McDaniel would not want to beat the man who saved his life from alcoholism, trained him how to coach, and prepped him and displayed him so McDaniel could get his dream job worth millions of dollars?
just once, one payback game,
or at least,
did McD at least not have the killer instinct
or was McD paralyzed with hero worship / gratitude
or
(Wild Theory Warning here)
It’s just one game; if Mike could sacrifice that one NFC game and still make the playoffs so Shanahan could also make the playoffs, just out of gratitude …
then, if they meet in the Super Bowl … all debts would’ve been paid off,
and
McDaniel would have saved his run game playbook as a secret weapon,
and he’d feel good about beating his mentor for a much bigger prize.
No
Or more plausibly,
Was McDaniel keeping some things under wraps to use in later AFC-vital games?
I don’t think the gameplan was flawed, I think the it was the execution of the gameplan that was flawed.
I certainly agree that Tua missed some open guys,
but I do not know how a game plan can win with only 8 rushes.
I still think our losses at DB are underrated.
not just Byron Jones who is never more than a step away from his man,
but also Brandon Jones and his sacks and run support,
AND Nik Needham and his nickle coverage and run support,
and even Trill Williams, a 6’1 206 Corner
who could’ve helped spell X without the learning curve of Kohou
or the iffy talent of Bethel and Crossen,
who are really just career ST guys.
BREAKING NEWS!!! American GM Joe Biden has traded arms dealer Viktor Bout for WNBA star? Brittney Griner. As per usghe, Joe fucked up again!!! Possibly the worst President and GM ever!!!
LOL this the term after the actual worst
That being said, this was a total and complete fuck up. Griner should be cooling her heals in prison without releasing a murdering arms dealer. YUGE mistake.
Naples – Wilson was hardly involved which lead me to think maybe he wasn’t feeling right, and Mostert was coming off an injury too, so maybe he just dialed the run game back.
Naples, the game plan was flawed because of poor execution, imo.
After the first completion, the next 7 pass plays were poorly executed. If Tua completed half (should have been 90% since most were easy), the game and thus game plan might have been radically different.
As a result of poor early execution, panic and playing from behind colored the rest of the game. Imo, of course.
This was a major reason I never cared/liked Fiedler. He always started out the game putting the Dolphins behind the 8 ball.
Sooooooo….
I went to the doctor yesterday and she told me that I need to stop masturbating.
I asked her “WHY!?!?”
She replied “Because I am trying to examine you!
I’ll be here all week!
Rock Watson, a Florida man
Rock, that’s funny,
but man, that joke’s so old that when I first heard it,
they were still calling it “self-abuse.”
And the doctor (as were all doctors back then)
was a man,
not some hot young lady doctor (as we guys would all imagine),
which gave the whole thing a bit of a different twist.
Mike E and Krishna
I’m not letting the rookie HC off the hook that easy for the SF loss.
His playbook’ll get figured out before too long,
if it hasn’t been already,
and he’ll need to show he can win a different way
than just flinging masses of passes between the hashes.
Saleh knows him as well as Shanahan.
Bellicheat knows how to beat every offense ever invented.
and McDermott has those same thugs on D that SF beat us up with.
and watch out for Khalil Mack and that Packer D as well,
or we could go 0-6 to spoil the season.
