We’re getting down to the nitty gritties. Week 14, huge Sunday Night Football matchup against the AFC West LA Chargers. Tua vs Herbert. The Dolphins took a step back last week, while their opponent this week also took one on the chin, losing to the LV Raiders 27-20, and seriously damaging their playoff chances. Realistically, this is a must win for both teams, every game is important now with 5 games to go. This is the reality of the NFL. Every game is a big game, and this stretch of 5 games is the time when you make your push to be a high seed or slide down in the standings and either back into the playoffs or create a scenario where you end up with a string of road games in the playoffs as the 2nd or 3rd wildcard. I think we’re better than that, so hopefully the team plays like it.
Time to purge the bitter taste of last week’s loss to the Niners. Let me preface this by saying I love Tua Tagovailoa, I’m happy he’s my QB, and I have always been a staunch supporter and defender of him. Despite that, he played pretty poorly last week, and played a big part in why we lost. There are many other reasons, but to state it as simply as possible, if he played like he’s played all season long, we win this game easily. To be fair, Tua has set a high bar of performance, so when I say he played poorly, that’s in comparison to what he’s done all season. If you look at stats alone, they tell some of the story, with the 2 INT’s jumping off the page. It was so much more than that though. He missed on so many throws, throws that he’s placed on the money, or close to it all season, but this past Sunday, they were either underthrown, overthrown, thrown behind, or thrown short. It’s clear he wasn’t comfortable out there, he didn’t have his best protection with LT Terron Armstead out. On the other hand, a lot of these throws were not under duress, he was just off. This season, Tua has been near 70% completion in the majority of the games, and he was below 50% for a decent part of this game. He finished just above, 18 for 33 for 295 yards, 2 TD’s, and 2 INT’s. I so wanted Tua to come out and have a statement game, that I’m ready to play in the big games, and the disappointment of him not measuring up is palpable.
The fact that this is a team game, which it clearly is, means that Tua was not the sole reason why we lost. Inexplicably, we ran the ball 8 times. Oddly enough, it was Raheem Mostert who was OUT with an injury the previous week that got 7 of the carries, and our supposed lead rusher, newly acquired Jeff Wilson Jr. saw only one carry. It’s puzzling because it was obvious Tua was off, and not comfortable, throwing at odd angles and not throwing that calm, catchable ball thrown with anticipation and excellent placement, so why give up on the run game? We’ll never know, but it was a strange gameplan, one which led to a very lopsided TOP, 40:34 for the Niners, 19:26 for the Dolphins. Recipe for disaster to have the opposing team have the ball for twice as long as you do, unless of course it’s the Dolphins vs Colts with Peyton Manning at QB on MNF. Our special teams have been lacking all season, and that’s kickoff coverage, punt return coverage, and FG’s as well. We’ve been poor at all of the above. Jason Sanders is at 81% on FG’s, and an absolutely unacceptable 91.4% on extra points. P Thomas Morstead has been fine, he hardly punts anyway with MM wheelbarrowing his balls on the field and going for huge 4th down conversions. If you watch all the games, you understand my angst, we never get the return man down for a loss, and most times we’re allowing big returns. That needs to get fixed.
The defense was up and down. I can give the defense a little pass, only because the ultra talented CMC is so difficult to stop, and I’m sure LB Duke Riley would prefer to never again have to cover CMC on 3rd down, 4th down, or any down. I mean were playing against a 2022 7th RD pick, QB Brock Purdy, and although we harassed him occasionally, he stepped up and made some big throws, which is another reason in my mind that Tua failed us. Purdy seemed more confident and fired up than our own QB.That was tough to swallow. It didn’t hurt Purdy that we had to try and cover CMC and failed miserably almost every time, he’s so good. The Niners are not bereft of talent beyond CMC, Deebo Samuel hurt us, Brandon Aiyuk did as well, but CMC did the most damage, rushing for 66 yards, and catching 10 balls for 80 yards and a TD, and torturing us as he converted what seemed like every big 3rd or 4th down. One of the biggest stand out stats : 3rd Down conversions – MIA 0-7, SF 8-19. We were unable to convert one stinking third down. Pathetic! That’s on everyone, including MM. Add in 4th down conversions, the Dolphins were a total of 1-9 on 3rd and 4th combined.
This week we play a desperate Los Angeles Chargers team in their house, well, sort of their house, they share the stadium with the original owners, the LA Rams. at 6-6, a loss would surely have them out of the playoff picture. Our Dolphins, not as much, although as I mentioned before, this is the time when the contenders stand up and make their push, and the pretenders slip away. In other words, this game is big for us too. We’re 3-3 on the road this season, the Chargers are 2-3 at home. Let me say this, Austin Ekeler is an awful lot like CMC, he is amazing in the passing game, and will torture us just like CMC if we don’t get help and/or pressure on Justin Herbert and maybe slide some help to whomever is covering Ekeler, most likely Duke Riley. Ekeler is the leading receiver in receptions, followed by WR Josh Palmer, who is having a nice season. Mike Williams has missed 4 games, and was inactive the last two, but logged a limited practice Wednesday, and full practice yesterday which leads me to believe he’ll be available Sunday night. For the Dolphins, LT Terron Armstead got in a limited practice yesterday. Chargers All Pro Safety Derwin James is QUESTIONABLE with a quad injury, and has not practiced this week. For the Chargers, the always steady WR Keenan Allen and WR DeAndre Carter are the other receivers we have to deal with. I stress once again, RB Austin Ekeler is the guy that worries me most. He’s tough to bring down, always fights hard for extra yards, is one of the strongest backs pound for pound, he never goes down easily , and he is a nightmare to cover. I hope Josh Boyer and MM are up to the task this week, and more than anything, I hope we see the Tua we all know and love.

You removed UK’s dolphin! What are you trying to say
Oops! Can you put it back?
Gave him 5 dolphins….lol
LOL Piggy – Like a 5 star review?
It’s for every TD we get!
Ah, cool! Love it!
Will 5 be enough?
Happy with the 5 fins, but Kong maybe more deserving – Hawaii 5-oh? 😉
Tua wasn’t himself last week, mostly due to SF’s D, IMO, one of his ints happened when Wilson fell, a couple of overturned calls really did him him too, but if he was himself the TOP wouldn’t have been so lopsided
He did make a lot of good throws too, he just wasn’t as accurate as usual
Don’t expect LAC’s D to bother him as much, so business as usual and if Armstead plays, which I expect our running game will once again click
I haven’t paid attention. Are Mack and Bosa injured? Did they suddenly this year become mediocre?
Was referring to the way the SF LBs were playing deep in coverage
SF Bosa got 3 sacks, but Tua had time most of the game
“Recipe for disaster to have the opposing team have the ball for twice as long as you do, unless of course it’s the Dolphins vs Colts with Peyton Manning at QB on MNF.”
Great reference Mike E, but unfair comparison. Obviously can’t expect any QB to be that unworldly good. 🙂
Didn’t we have a TOP issue early in the year Bills game I believe, where Tua did something similar to PM?
It was almost identical Steve (BUF game), but Manning was insane in that game. We had the ball nearly 45 minutes, he still threw for over 300 yards with 2 TD’s, zero INT’s.
I wonder if Hill misses this game due to Illness?
Not a chance in hill
We couldn’t stop Purdy, so

“I pretty much can’t say too much. I’ve been fortunate enough to be able to play with one of the best quarterbacks in this league. We all have bad games. We’re all human. We all go through certain stuff. My message to him is just come out refocused and a lot of people forget about what you did last game when you go out here and throw for six touchdowns or something crazy, and it all be forgotten. I’ve dropped a crazy amount of passes in my career, but my whole focus and the way that my parents raised me is you can’t be great and dwell on the past or whatever. You got to be able to move on. Tua has been great about that. He’s definitely a hard worker.”

Nice write, Mike. This is definitely a big game for both teams. Fins Up!!!
Thanks thy Tim – Very happy about Nimmo, and really like the Robertson signing as well!
Yeah Robertson was a nice addition to the bullpen.
Mike, are you happy we re-signed Nimmo? 🙂
Thank you, Mike E…I think you’re spot on.
You’re welcome and appreciate that
I agree with Tyreek….Move on and do what you already know you can do.
“I pretty much can’t say too much.” Lol!!!

Hey Son – great vid…I ran across this one a while back (maybe when Gary Brooker passed away?) and was blown away how well his voice had held up over the years. Extremely talented individual.
That’s around when I first saw it too, I think it’s one of the best versions of the song.
Watch them dance, this is a five minute long song and they do a very physical dance throughout the entire thing, it’s pretty impressive really.
Our pass rush is starting to show shines of coming on. It’s time to start finishing more. That could be the difference against the Chargers and opponents moving forward.
Everyone is invited to watch the game here Sunday, I’m making a giant 18 lb brisket ready for right before kickoff.
We can play cornhole and throw the football around until the game starts.
🐬🐆🐧❌☃️💪😁🍺💥
What time should we be there?
You – anytime
Everyone else 5:00 lol
Wow 18 lbs?
It’s huge, it looks like I skinned the dog lol
Oh geez! LOL
Son going through some oldies for us. LOL
One more, y’all unwashed might be ready for. Turn it up
I liked this one better.
Song of the day …. 2.5 hours for 17 Miles

Her driving was not bad enough that I’m Not In Love anymore
I guess I’m missing the driving reference.

It’s all good, man. The driving reference made no sense with this song.
Big boys don’t cry
I’ve heard this song for over 40 years. It’s a classic. Such good lyrics with so much sarcasm but at the same time still not over it.
I love this song
Mike,
Nice article. I agree with all of it.
Toba, have fun at Sofi, that place looks cool
Bring us a win this time will you, come on man
Will do my best sir .. Boulder, Jahn and Phindog have me conflicted on wearing my Tua jersey.. we have a great record when I wear it at home on the couch .. at a Live game I think I’m 0-3 🤔
Wear it, he’ll be fine this week. Wear it.
👍👍 alrighty then
Going to take a drive over to AoFi tomorrow to get a pics and the lay of the land .. have to Uber there Sunday .. supposedly it’s easy to get one both ways .. worse case it’s an hour walk home
Or sofi
Maybe you’ll run into Rich Eisen. He’s a stej fan so make sure you bust his balls if you do.
I will look for him and Adam Rank … I like them both
I think it was this date in 2018 the Miami Miracle happened.
Boise the signature moment of Gase’s career. It was incredible.
It was. Signature moment for Drake and a lot of those guys. I still enjoy watching every time someone shows it. Perfectly executed and lucky play.
Forgot to do my December mock. I know Tim has been waiting on it. 😉

Sonny – wish I could be there, enjoy the game, and the brisket of course.
Thanks New Age – I feel pretty good about this game, we should take this one.
BBM
These draft picks are excellent to fill our holes.
I swear you send those to Grier …
if for nothing more than food for thought,
so he could get his scouts on these guys to see if that matches your eye test.
Thanks Naples!
If I can go back and change one, it would be on the second draft, OT Dewand Jones. He is a massive dude, like 6’7 358, and not sure he has the athleticism to play in our scheme. He reminds me of the Pats RT Brown who is like 6’8 380.
I should have went with OT Jordan Morgan again there who is 6’6 328 and VERY athletic. Have not watching any video on him. Just going by what I am hearing and reading. Morgan seems to be a very good prospect for OT projected to go in the 3rd round.
Same with Jaelyn Duncan if he lasts to our pick in the 3rd.
My top OT’s who may be there in the second round are OT Darnell Wright from Tennessee and OT Matthew Bergeron from Syracuse but they keep going in the top of the second round on the simulator.
On the 3rd draft, WR Jalin Hyatt was a luxury pick in a way. I just like the thought of adding yet another 6’0 WR who runs a 4.31 40. It shows on tape. I don’t think he will be a 1st rounder though. He ran a limited route tree at Tennessee and is not a “crisp” route runner. That all can be fixed, though. We would not lose any threat of speed when Hill or Waddle are taking a rest.
Breakdown after breakdown I’ve watched, they all say the same thing, and it was the way I felt after the game. We left so many plays out on the field, we showed this offense can score on anyone.
“I’ve never seen anybody do to this 49er’s defense what the Miami Dolphins did in this past game.”
“There was more open receivers and big plays to be had than any game I can remember in the Kyle Shanahan era.”
And hopefully, if there were to be a next time, every call, non-call, and review by the refs won’t go against us.
I didn’t see it mentioned on the board, but on the play Waddle got hurt, it looked to me like he got hit by the Niner defender about 3 yards out of bounds- no flag.
Yes, I remember that
Effing NFL moving our Bills game to Saturday night after a tough west coast trip.
There is already talk about our Jest game in week 18 potentially being another flex, although there are a couple of potentially bigger games depending on how things play out.
It’s good for our team and organization though, to be considered one of the primetime teams. It gets us used to playing in big games with all eyes on us.
We really need to win tomorrow. I think the team is going to be itching to get back out on the field and show the Niner’s game was an abberation.
Go Dolphins!!!
Yeah, the 10 day forecast shows snow and in the upper 20’s come game time.
In Buffalo
But only a 15% chance of precipitation. Forecasts can change a bit though. Especially if there is lake affect snow a possibility.
Shit, I was looking at Sunday. Game is flexed to Saturday night. Game time is showing 30 degrees and 20%-40% chance of precipitation.
Cav, thanks for the video above. That explains it all. Tua was just not on his “A” game. If he was, we win that game. That is why I said the loss was on him and not the defense. We should of had the halftime lead and not the 49er’s and in the 3rd qtr we got the opening stop and then scored a TD. They should have had to play come-from-behind and not us with the rookie QB.
It’s one that got away from us but don’t expect to see that kind of performance again. I think we see the real Tua this weekend.
I’d have liked for the defense to show it could stop a 3rd string QB in the big moments, but the truth is we’re going as far as this offense takes us, and the offense didn’t play well. I’m encouraged that our offense is potent enough that it can only stop itself. And with everything that went wrong, we still had a shot to take the lead late in the 4th.
If we go out and beat the Chargers, all is well. This game is much bigger than the Niners game.
^
As long as we beat the Chargers, I kind of hope we do get some weather and freezing cold conditions against Buffalo, so we get a taste of that before the playoffs. We may see it in NE in a few weeks as well.
Enjoy the islands 👍🏝️
Cheers, bro
Humidity was pretty bad the 1st day, but it’s been perfect weather every day since.
Hope you and the wife are enjoying your west coast trip. 🙂
(I see it’s been raining in NorCal the entire time we’ve been gone, lol.)
We have been having a really good time … have not been rained on since we left Santa Clara.. was a bit of a bummer coastal highway was closed by a rockslide , but after we rerouted down 101 to Cambria, we went back north to Ragged Point just to see some of it … LA traffic was messed up yesterday.. but on the whole been a great trip.. rental car is turned in, game day transport booked … alll good and pre pack is done ..
Is it game day yet ?? 😊
We play in the AFC East so we always have to play in some cold weather games.
So, Army/Navy game today. The Navy is wearing NASA uniforms. Interesting.
Went to Sofi today , actually got to walk right to our seats for tomorrow.. cool stadium.. still say it looks like a giant sperm cell

Having a boat parade on our river tonight. Judges will be there to hand out awards in categories. I don’t have a boat, a bunch of cute women in German dress, or a group of black folks to do the best dancing….. but hit me today what would would win the top award.
Talking a recreation of Twist & Shout done by Ferris Bueller in another parade. And a number of the boats have flat tops…. they could do it.
That would be cool to see.
It’s freakin’ December. Why can’t Erik Ezukanma get on the field?
And if we’re not elevating linemen, Armstead is definitely playing.
Tindall and Ezukanma have both been disappointing as far as game day snaps. I guess the reason Tindall was a compensatory 3rd which was in the 4th round range, and Ezukanma a 4th round pick, was because they were not complete players. They are talented physical players, but it seems they need to improve on the finer points of the game. MM does seem to lean more on vets than young players. Hopefully they’re better players and more involved next year.
I never thought Tindall was going to be the impact player right away that some on the board thought he’d be. Figured he’d be a project that we might see progress throughout the season, but it looks like even that was aiming a bit too high. I couldn’t even tell you whether or not he’s been on the field at all the last few games
But at least he has gotten on the field. Heck, even Sanders has gotten some snaps. I guess it’s not like we’re hurting at WR, lol, and in my mind Sherfield and Craycraft have proven they belong in the lineup. After flashing in preseason, it’s just a bit disappointing Ezukanma hasn’t even gotten a snap.
Either way, elevating a WR looks like good news for us, and Armstead may be playing tomorrow.
I cannot wait for our game. I am so confident we are going to show up with a great game against the Chargers. Right now my favorite part of being in Hawaii is the Dolphins game starts here around 3 in the afternoon. Woohoo!! lol
Agreed. Enjoy your Tua homeland vacation. Maybe that’s a sign. 😉
Toba, sounds like you’re having a blast. Enjoy!
That’s great to read, Toba. Glad you guys are enjoying your Cali trip!
LA traffic was messed up yesterday.
YESTERDAY? How about everyday
I ignored that part of the story because that’s a normal thing for me in NJ. Traffic? What is that? LOL
WR Swain activated??? Does that mean Hill is still sick from his Illness???
Maybe they think, Hill/Waddle won’t be able to go the who way or will need to be rested more or it means nothing at all. lol
The #Raiders are releasing guard John Simpson, per source.
A fourth-round pick in 2020, Simpson started every game last season and is still only 25. Potential O-line help for a contender now on waivers.
————-
I would be interested. He shouldn’t cost much for the remainder of the season. I remember him as a decent prospect coming out of Clemson.
Interesting, TE Brock Bowers, Georgia won the John Mackey Award for the Best TE in college over ND TE Michael Mayer. Bowers is only a true sophomore and not draft eligible.
I would love to draft Brock Bowers next year.
Jim Thorpe Award (best defensive back) went to Tre’Vius Hodges-Tomlinson, TCU.
Interesting because he is a small CB 5’9 180 so I was looking past him. He is a projected mid 2nd to mid 3rd round pick. Over the last 3 seasons, he did have 5 INT’s, 3 FF and 31 PD’s. Maybe he is the next Brent Grimes without the baggage.
Butkus Award (best linebacker) went to Jack Campbell, Iowa. He is the ILB I was talking about a month or so ago. He is a 6’5 246 pound ILB. Only started the last 2 seasons but over his career he has 2 sacks, 3 FF, 3 FR, 5 INT’s with 1 pick 6.
He is still considered a mid 2nd to mid 3rd round pick. His stock may go up though.
Hill is over his illness and ready to go.
Waddle himself said he’s fine and a go.
It’s Cracraft, he injured his quad on Thursday and was questionable so he’s likely out and this guy I never heard of will take some snaps and cover his ST responsibilities.
This would be a great game for Wilson to break out. And I like him catching punts he has very soft hands, he absorbs the ball.
Swain played for the Seahawks previously.. he’s got pretty good hands and wheels
Caleb Williams takes the Heisman
Thanks all , Yeah it has been a fun time .. and looking forward Tua Win tomorrow
So is it that Tua is a Samoan born in Hawaii, not a Hawaiian?

I bet Purdy stinks it up today, which furthers the fire Boyer push
Hulk confused. He no know who to root for in Bills Jets
Holy hell games start early out here 🤪
We kind of need Bills to beat the Jets don’t we?
Or just root for them to beat the fuck out of each other and just accept who wins.
Hulk thinks that helps more
That would help for wildcard yes .. or do we still have sights set on winning division 🤔🤷♂️
But if we win we win the division as we have tiebreaker on Bills
What a great throw by Josh Allen. 😏
Allen missed a wide open Diggs probably would have been a TD
If you want the division, you want the Jets, if you’re looking to squeak into the playoffs, you want the Bills
I’m rooting for the Jets
A Bills win doesn’t really impact our divisional chances
Fuck it I am rooting for injuries
👍😊
I’m cheering for Jets, cuz I want the DIVISION.
If we lose to Bills then we take care of the Jets ourselves last game of season. If we can’t beat them to get in, we don’t deserve it.
All in for the division title
Ken??? The Bills are a game up on us right now, how do you figure? Are you saying if we both win out we win the division because of head to head?
Exactly. We have to take care of business next week and we own the tiebreaker. The math gets more complicated in the wildcard race
I think it would be better if Bills won and then we beat Chargers and then beat the Bills again next week. That would put us back in the division lead.
This would make us both 10-4 but the Bills will be 2-3 in the division and us 3-1 in the division and both with 2 division games left vs Pats and Jets.
A Bills loss would not suck either
If Fins and Bills enter next week both 9-4 … and we WIN … Bills would need us to lose 2 of our last 3 while they win out in order to get the division.
Next weeks game would essentially be a knockout game for Bills, but a Miami loss we’d still have more opportunities to win the division over the next 3 games.
Bills losing today gives us a huge advantage in winning the division.
Allen underthrew that
Jets CB Gardner is the real deal.
It’s 8 o’clock here. I barely know my name, let alone who to root for this early in the morning, lol.
I’m rooting for the Bills…or the jest, idk. Actually, I agree with bbm. We control where we land no matter who wins.
Love watching Josh Allen get hit
WTF Barrios? That’s a Jets play there.
I think he knows it him that is why he went after it
Both qbs missing throws because of weather, but god forbid Tua misses some throws next week because of weather.
Both teams look sloppy 😃
Ravens up 10-0 on the Steelers
😒
Boo
Hate to see Bills get so confident on D
Only Cory Davis injured so far. Need more injuries
The way I look at it, it’s going to be very competitive to get a good seed in the playoffs. If we lose a couple of games and back in, we’re probably not going anywhere anyway. I hope we play a very strong game tonight and get back on track, and if BUF loses today, they will be the ones with a headache, not us
Or just get and anything can happen. I don’t think anyone is that much better than anyone else. I just don’t know. I just want more injuries for both these teams. So far it’s Jets 1 Bills 0
Just get in^
Steelers strike back! 10-7 Ravens
Never gets old seeing Allen thrown down hard
😃
Ken – I think it’s a mindset. Usually the teams that are playing their best at the end of the season are the teams that go far. Teams that back in or get in by the skin of their teeth don’t
I can’t say you are wrong
Kenny Pickett In concussion protocol done for the day
Jets DT Quinnen Williams is living up to his draft hype. Has 11 sacks from the DT position so far this season.
Let Josh Allen leap more often
And get hit more often
Dang, Allen landed on the wrong elbow at the end of that 1st down run.
Herbert playing with two backup OTs so that should also help win this game. Chargers find ways to lose and are banged up. This should be a decisive win.
Don’t count them until they are done
^
That’s why I never participate in Howie’ list
I don’t but the odds are in our favor.
To quote Han Solo never tell me the odds
Browns/Bengals must be a tough battle like the Jets/Bills game. Burrow 3-11 for 22 yards so far.
Williams down 😃
Jets 2 Bills 0
Uh oh for the Jets, Quinnen Williams down clutching his knee after a non-contact injury.
I am a horrible person
Allen sacked again
HE IS FUCKING WOBBLY
