The Dolphins finally kick off the season at Hard Rock Stadium after 2 road games to start the season. 2 impressive ones, one in LA against the Chargers, a 36-34 shootout victory, and then a more methodical 24-17 against our division rival New England Patriots. Even after the 2 victories, I still feel like we haven’t seen the defense thrive like I expected it to. We were gashed for over 200 yards on the ground in LA against the Chargers as well as giving up 34 points. In Foxborough, we surrendered half the points, but the defense has not looked dominant in any way, shape or form. They have made plays to seal games, and I suppose that’s the important thing, and at 2-0, I’m not going to complain too much, but I’d love to see this defense become what I hoped it could be.
If I told you before the season that LT Terron Armstead was going to miss the first 2 games, and that the Dolphins offensive line would have only allowed 1 sack in those 2 games, would you believe me? This may be the biggest surprise so far. The offensive line has done their job, with the exception of the bad snap issues that have plagued center Connor Williams. The shame of it is Williams is an excellent blocker, but it’s only a matter of time where a bad snap hurts us. Our run game has been excellent, when we actually run the ball like we did against the Patriots. Mostert bulked up some 15 lbs and he looks great this season. Mostert has 158 yards on 28 carries for a very nice 5.6 YPC, and he already has 3 rushing TD’s. RB Salvon Ahmed has been serving as 2nd string, but he’s now dealing with a groin injury, so De’Von Achane will now be the 2nd string RB as he has recovered from his shoulder injury. I’m excited to Achane, although props to Ahmed for simply making it impossible to not see that he makes plays and although he’s not physically imposing like Chris Brooks or super fast like Mostert or Achane, he gets the job done and looks slippery and elusive so far.
At WR, it’s been a lot Tyreek, especially in game 1, but as I told you, and you probably already knew it anyway, Belichick was going to do everything he could muster to keep Tyreek Hill from beating them. Tyreek still caught a TD but was much quieter compared to his 215 yard explosion against the Chargers. WR Jaylen Waddle looks like he will miss this game as he’s still in concussion protocol. Not sure which WR will replace Waddle if he can’t go, but Erik Ezukanma has been primarily used as a rusher in a somewhat similar role to WR Deebo Samuel. He’s not the type of guy that will be a downfield threat, and either is River Cracraft or Braxton Berrios. Jaylen Waddle makes it easier for the aforementioned Berrios and Cracraft to work underneath the coverage because Waddle requires attention and protection deep, so it will be interesting to see how we handle this if Waddle can’t go Sunday.
How about a huge high five and major props to LB Andrew Van Ginkel. This guy never quit, never gave up, and has carved himself a role on this defense. It’s clear Vic Fangio regards AVG very highly as he took tons of snaps in game 1 playing as the nickel LB and an inside LB, garnering a shocking 75% of snaps on defense. Jaelan Phillips did get in a limited practice yesterday, so he’s trending in the right direction as he deals with a back injury sustained in practice last Friday. More props coming, I feel like Raekwon Davis has been much more active and visible in the first 2 games. I do have concerns, although after 2 games, there’s not necessarily enough data to feel like this is a trend, but the 2 safeties, Jevon Holland and DeShon Elliott have the most tackles, 25 and 17 respectively, followed by 2 more DB’s, Xavien Howard and Kader Kohou. That’s not necessarily sustainable. Ok, let me get this out, I’m tired of seeing Eli Apple allowing receptions to anyone and everyone. If we’re going to draft a guy in the 2nd RD (CB Cam Smith), get the guy ready to play, because it’s so frustrating to watch. We jettisoned a former 2020 1st RD pick, Noah Igbinoghene and traded him for a former 2021 2nd RD pick (CB Kelvin Joseph), so please can we get either or both of those guys in there???
The 0-2 Denver Broncos make a late September visit to Hard Rock, and the heat could definitely be a factor in our favor. Sunday’s temperature should be about 85-88 degrees with a chance of thunderstorms (imagine that, a thunderstorm in FLA). While the Broncos are 0-2, they have lost both games by a total of 3 points, losing 17-16 to the Raiders and 35-33 against the Commanders, both at home. QB Russell Wilson has bounced back nicely from last year’s dreadful season. He has 5 TD’s to 1 INT, and has completed 68% of his passes in Sean Payton’s offense. RB Javonte Williams is back and Samaje Perrine is his backup. TE Greg Dulcich who was expected to have somewhat of a breakout season has been injured so TE Adam Trautman has taken his place while he’s out, but is not on the injury report this week, so he’ll be back. WR’s Courtland Sutton and Jerry Jeudy are a talented WR duo. The Broncos defense struggled last week surrendering 35 points to the Washington Commanders. We all know Javonte Williams is hard running back, so we have to contain him, and Russell Wilson has been thriving early on, we have to take him down and make him uncomfortable. Rookie WR Marvin Mims has flashed and last year’s UDFA receiver Brandon Johnson has also made a splash.
At home, in September, this is a game the Dolphins should win. If the heat is a factor and the thunderstorms don’t quench the heat, we need to win this game, our first home game of the season. On the flip side, the Broncos come in a desperate team after losing 2 very close games to start the season. Waddle being out isn’t a good thing. Once again, that will be something to watch as to who replaces Waddle, and if he makes an impact. We may opt to run the ball more, and I’ve yet to mention FB Alec Ingold, who has been a feisty player and brings some nasty, some meanness to our offense, which definitely is welcomed. As I mentioned, De’Von Achane who is healthy may get more touches and I would like to see us continue to give Raheem Mostert a bunch of carries, at least 15-20. Achane can get touches both in the run game and passing game, and I hope he gets a few targets so he can find some room to run. He can be a HR threat with the ball in his hands anywhere on the field. Let’s hope this is Armstead’s debut, although Kendall Lamm has earned some trust for sure. Let’s also hope we do rest Waddle and have him healthy next week, it’s a long season. I also hope Jaelan Phillips is healthy enough to make a splash this week as well.
GO DOLPHINS!!!
Finsmob Unleashed 
The defense shouldn’t get a pressure if the pass is completed. If the pressure results in an int or pick then it’s worth something.
Anyone else watching the game again
The first thing announcers say before kickoff is
About Denver “their 2 losses are only by a combined 3 points. They feel like they are close”
😂
They’re close to that USC quarterback
Lol
Losing a close game means you’re still a loser, and in the donkies case it’s times 2
The jets one year had 1 win on the season, with many losses by 1 score
KC has been winning a lot of games the last couple of years by 1 score, losing a 1 score doesn’t mean dick, unless it’s first half of the season for the 2019 Fins
If we keep Buffalo off Tua we win it’s that simple
Yep
Julian Hill doing a really good job blocking
Yeah he looked good.
The numbers speak for themselves with He and Armstead
I noticed him blocking just 1 play, when I went back to the highlights, and whiffed badly
I read the coach say that the sub package they had practiced with him was working so they kept at it and Hill wound up playing many more snaps than had been intended in the game plan
I couldn’t believe what I was seeing…never seen anything like it at this level.
Get ready for Buffalo. Keep your minds right.
MM did the right thing. My only other thought was MM call timeout to conference with SP. Let SP make the call…lol
No way here’s what SP would’ve said
🖕🖕
Lol
Once again showing his true colors..lol
Classless!
How can you call him classless after I said what he would do?
If I’m down by 50 to you and you ask me if you should score more I’d lose my mind that’s just me
It’s historic!!!
Lol…you know I’m fucking around….MM absolutely did the right thing and stated that early on
It’s always better to take the high road, if we’d gone for the record they’d have been talking only about what a dick MM is, instead of what a great job the team did yesterday
The record doesn’t help achieve the main goal, so if you get it, you get it, but don’t change the way you’d coach, if there wasn’t a record to be had
When Brooks got loose I thought he blew every record out of the water
Then they tackled him.
Dammit
As it was MM did do the right thing
For years we’ve said, if our QB just had time to throw Lookout, well that time is now and we have the right QB under center
You can delete my comments as they are just tests. Thanks!
Welcome
Bengals not even trying to have Burrow throw deeper than 10 yards
The game plans and Tua’s quick reading ability helps the line look better than it is. That said, the line has been playing much better singularly and as a squad
Agreed
Yeah but on our first TD the OL gave Tua extra time to wait for Tyreek to cross the field.
Coaching? Better players? Better schemes? All of the above?
It’s a small sample size at the moment…
Burrow average air yards: 2.9

____________________________________________________
Exactly!!! Jalen Hurts threw a TD earlier and some defensive player will be credited for a pressure, and a QB hit. Great stat, the fucker threw a TD on your useless pressure and QB hit. The stat in this case couldn’t be any more wrong crediting the defensive player with something good, when nothing good actually happened. This has been my point over and over again, but some just won’t see it.
MsV – Just saw your comment and approved it. Sorry I didn’t see it earlier. In any case, all your comments will show from now on if you want to comment. Welcome!
I think that might be a wordpress person checking on this issue. Ive been trying for 2 weeks to get this sorted out.
Oh, OK, I didn’t know that
Shouldn’t that be a touch back…his 2nd foot in was endzone…
Injury updates…
Waddle:The Dolphins should have Jaylen Waddle back Sunday — even if McDaniel didn’t come out and say it Monday. Waddle missed Week 3 with a concussion, unable to clear the protocol in time to play.
McDaniel said Monday that Waddle remains in the protocol but struck a positive tone about his return.
“We’re very optimistic on how he’s feeling,” McDaniel said. “But I just worry about him getting right, and that should take care of itself here soon.”
—————-
Cracraft:McDaniel is preparing for the Bills as if receiver River Cracraft (shoulder) will not play Sunday.
“I don’t know how long it will be,” McDaniel said. “… It’s definitely not a day-to-day thing. We’ll continue getting feedback from him as we get even more test results and figure out a timeline for that.”
“He was playing at a very high level, and there’s no doubt we’ll see him again in the near future,” he added. “How near is that? I don’t know yet.”
—————–
Jaelan Phillips (oblique) and Connor Williams (groin) — they are “day to day.”
Maybe the conversation should be about risk..lol.
Pressure increases the risk of poor performance.
Every pass in the last few minutes of the 2nd qt is perfectly placed
Me every time 21 makes a play
The defense isn’t where it needs to be yet, but they do come up with timely plays.
You make trolliing easy Mike E
Hunt was tearing it apart all game
Isn’t it cool that pundits all over the country are baffled by how good our offense is.🙂
I like listening to them backpeddle about Tua
Yep🙂
Cool but he didn’t even mention they did it without Waddle.
Actually he did. Maybe not in that clip, but he said didn’t have Waddle and probably would/could have 90 with him.
Tua just gave me the middle finger! Lol…awesome!
A pressure is stat to measure how well a rusher did on a particular play, not the outcome like a sack, and since sacks are so infrequent another stat is used to measure the other pass plays
Even though a pass is completed, and sometimes for a TD, that part is something the rusher has no control of
Still recovering
NFL power rankings Week 4: Cowboys tumble out of top five, Dolphins surge
Nate Davis
USA TODAY
NFL power rankings entering Week 4 of the 2023 season (previous rank in parentheses):
1. 49ers (1): We’re nearing the realm of death, taxes, San Francisco scoring exactly 30 points (all 3 games this season), prevailing (13-game regular-season winning streak) and enjoying a TD from RB Christian McCaffrey, who’s found the paint in 12 consecutive games to match Hall of Famer Jerry Rice’s club record.
2. Eagles (2): They’ve got a Kelce (Jason) and a Pennsylvania-born Swift (D’Andre) joining forces, yet it feels like the reigning NFC champs are a bit under the radar, even at 3-0. Shake it off, boys. This could still be an – enchanted? – season once you start firing on all cylinders … which probably won’t be necessary until Week 7, when the Dolphins come to Philadelphia.
3. Dolphins (6): The balance in Sunday’s thrashing of Denver was truly epic, Miami becoming the first team to post 350 yards rushing and passing in the same game – this while scoring five TDs on the ground and five more through the air. The Fins’ 1,651 total yards through three games are a league record, and their 130 points are two shy of the mark at the same juncture. And still hard to believe they put up 70 points. Just wait until they get WR Jaylen Waddle, among others, back. Still, before we crown ’em, let’s acknowledge they’ve got some defensive issues and have done all this damage against a trio of teams that’s collectively 2-7. Let’s see what happens at Buffalo.
4. Chiefs (4):
5. Bills (5):
_________
Not that these rankings mean anything…and agree, “let’s see what happens at Buffalo.”
32 things we learned in NFL Week 3: Bewilderment abounds in Cowboys’ loss, Chargers’ win
Nate Davis
USA TODAY
The 32 things we learned from Week 3 of the 2023 NFL season:
1. Being a one-percenter might be a dream for most, but not in the context of the NFL. Entering Sunday, of the 99 teams to start 0-3 since the league expanded to 32 clubs in 2002, exactly one – the 2018 Houston Texans – recovered to reach the playoffs. That means, yes, a 1% shot for the Carolina Panthers, Chicago Bears, Denver Broncos, Minnesota Vikings and possibly the Cincinnati Bengals (0-2), who host the Los Angeles Rams on Monday night. Of the 32 teams to even start 0-2 since 2019, Cincy (last year) is the only one to salvage a postseason berth.
2. In the NFL, you want to be an 86-percenter. Entering Sunday, 12 of the past 14 teams to start 3-0 extended their seasons into the playoffs. That’s very encouraging news for the unbeaten Miami Dolphins and San Francisco 49ers, who (barring a tie) will be joined by either the Philadelphia Eagles or Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Monday night.
…
8. Back to the Fins … seventy-burger? Seriously? You guys know this isn’t the BCS, and no style points are awarded, yeah? (Net points are a low-level tiebreaker, but I digress.) Regardless, what an obviously impressive performance as Miami became the fourth NFL team to reach the 70-point plateau in the Dolphins’ 70-20 dismantling of the Broncos, the most points scored by a team since Washington had 72 in 1966.
8a. Wondering if former Denver coach Nathaniel Hackett cares to weigh in on poor coaching jobs … [LOL, I have a said I don’t like SP?]
9. The Dolphins’ 726 total yards are a record for one team in the Super Bowl era (since 1966). They averaged 10.2 – more than a first down – per snap. Miami had four plays exceeding 50 yards and four others that went for at least 20.
10. Dolphins RBs Raheem Mostert and rookie De’Von Achane had four TDs apiece, the second pair of teammates to achieve that in a game. Achane also rushed for 203 yards on 18 carries.
Well it is Barfillo week
Or is it Barffalo?
Always mix them up
Just wondering . . .
Do you think a defensive player should be credited with a pass defensed when they tip a ball? Do you think that defensive player should get a pass defensed credited when the ball that they tip is caught by the offensive player?
To me, this is the equivalent of a pressure.
LOL!!!
Settle down Mike, you’ll hurt yourself. LOL
No it’s the equivalent of a pass rusher tipping a ball that’s caught
For you a guy that gets a sack on the first play of the game, then goes thru the motions the rest of the game is better than the guy that’s in the QBs face all game, but doesn’t get a sack
Actually, no. It’s good that a player gets near the QB, it can possibly change or hurry up the QB and potentially make him make a mistake. I think the best players get sacks and pressures, and it’s not enough to just get pressure, you need to actually get to the QB
Mostly, I think the stat “pressure” is flawed. Every time I see a QB throw a completion or a TD, and the defensive player gets credited for a pressure, you have to laugh. It’s nonsense
hose 13 records set or tied (including the postseason) are:
Most points in a game in team history: 70
Most touchdowns in a game in team history: 10
Most total yards in a game in team history: 726
Most rushing yards in a game in team history: 350
Most points scored in the second half of a game in team history: 35*
Most PATs in a game in team history: 10
Most touchdowns in a game by a rookie: 4 – De’Von Achane
Most points scored in a game: 24* – Raheem Mostert, De’Von Achane
Most touchdowns in a game: 4* – Raheem Mostert, De’Von Achane
Most rushing yards in a game by a rookie: 203 – De’Von Achane
Most passing yards through three games in Dolphins history: 1,024 – Tua Tagovailoa
Most receiving yards through three games in Dolphins history: 412 – Tyreek Hill
Most PATs in a game: 10 – Jason Sanders

A pressure is a pressure is a pressure as a sack is a sack or int is an int. They are all ways of measuring performance. What weight to any statistic is a matter of interpretation and perspective

Put this in perspective of Wilkins last year, not many sacks as I recall but pressures. I think everyone wanted him re signed but it didn’t happen. Is that the effect of too few sacks? I still think he’s a key player.
Jevon is the highest graded safety in the NFL through 3 weeks.
93.1
31 tackles only 1 missed tackle
2 Forced Fumbles
2 PBUs
8 defensive stops
Loved his two strips Sunday!
Watching the game again yesterday I noticed a few things
One of them was that Achane and Mostert were on the field a lot together at the same time
They may be splitting carries but they are splitting snaps
That is pretty incredible when you think about supper on the field causing the D to 💩 themselves
We didn’t even have Waddle
Don’t be surprised if we don’t see some plays this week with Hill, Waddle, Mosteet and Achane on the field at the same time
Aka – the defense will have to defend the 4 fastest guys in the nfl at the same time
Ida pretty incredible
If they want to be cute (they probably shouldn’t) they can also add Chosen instead of a TE//FB
Another thing that caught my eye rewatching the game:
Downfield blocking
Specifically Cedric Wilson and Braxton Berrios
Cedric Wilson may not have any many catches since signing to be with us – but man he was working hard on those long runs – he’s very much a part of this team even though you don’t hear his name
I’m sure you guys saw Berrios – he’s actually been very good for us this season, he’s catching big passes and converting 3rd down, he had a big return that was called back but he looked good – but he’s also blocking downfield
These guys are really enjoying their roles
The one guy that I noticed wasn’t adding much other than as a receiver was chosen. I kind of expect him to be inactive next week. He seemed a little lackadaisical out there
Also I noticed Jeff Wilson cheering and arguing with refs
I think the players are having as much fun playing or on the sideline as we are watching them
Credit the coaching staff
Er home wants to be a part of this thing
In all the deluge Justin Bethel may have gotten overlooked, but he got the half sack that cinched LAC game and helped out on the stop of that OG on Gewussi’s lateral to snuff out NE. Plus he took over when Apple got nicked and played so well never came back out.
Also notices bethel yesterday making a lot of plays
And Kohou
And E-L-L-I-O-T (piggy does an ET voice)
Complaint … we need more picks.
Lol
Who? Lol…
Our defense also gets discredit for those garbage time completions against Parry Nickerson and Elijah Campbell who was almost limping trying to cover. Our first D sat out almost the whole 4th quarter. Riley Pili and Hand esq. Played well
So in case you are keeping track
When Kohou makes a play you have to blow in a conch (oldie but goodie)
When Elliot makes a play, you have to say “Elliot” in your best ET voice
And when Holland makes a play, you have to make windmill sounds
I don’t make up these rules….it’s just the way it is
😂
Also don’t me like me

And how can I forget Howard
You know what to do for him
How is McDaniel so awesome?
Is it Sunday yet?
Film study must have been fun this week
We’re the national game this week, at least they are in the NY area.🙂
Elliot STICKS those tackles.
Herd – Wilkins plays every game and made a shit ton of tackles. Pretty sure he had more tackles than any other DL. That’s value right there. Never mind his pressures or lack of sacks
But generating interior pressure is considered to be one of the strongest parts of his game even if he doesn’t get a lot of sacks. Pressures are just a measure of individual performance. Nothing more and nothing less
This debate really needs to end.🙄
No Tim I will die on this hill 😉
All that needs to happen for it to end is from Mike E to admit that he’s wrong and then we can all move on. 🤣
I know!!!
It’s all important. It’s not just about sacks. That was my position.
Ogbah played a very good game.
I was so happy for Ogbah. He showed his talent.
She’s funny as hell!
I don’t know if the rest of you see this every week?
That was awesome. Very well done. She’s very talented. She put that together with current stuff from a couple of days ago. Impressive!
Please re-post that every week. She is awesome😭😂🤣
Tim
Did you get YouTube or v this year
It’s worth it
You can watch all the games – over and over again
No I really don’t need it. The game is being replayed on NFLN tonight. But I’ve already moved onto Buffalo. This is the biggest game of the year at this point in the season. We win this one it’s a great start to the season. If we lose we’re still in good shape.
The Bills are a much better team than the Broncos and I expect a competitive game. Might be a really exciting game.

I agree, I was saying that talking Dolphins with my daughter a little while ago
^
My son texted me … “It has finally happened…after 30 years of being made fun of for wearing dolphins gear…. I have been accused of being a bandwagoner. I have waited so long for us to be good enough for this!”
My son be like “go ahead … Call me a bandwagoner. I don’t even care!”
Lmao! Nice!
It’s the bandwagoners that will say that
Dolphins fans will be coming out of the woodwork
All those led astray for 20 years will be coming back
We all know Armstead is going to miss games during a season. But when he plays he’s elite. It’s nice to have Lamm as a backup because he’s been solid.🙂
It seems obvious that Mostert and Achane are our top backs. Wilson, Ahmed and Brooks is solid depth.
I don’t see us trading for Jonathan Taylor. The Colts likely want him back in a couple of weeks at 2-1.
Yeah we’re fine
Rushing for 350 without a huge contract to any back
Has McDaniel ruined football?
https://x.com/AdamHBeasley/status/1706472147529379941?s=20
The beauty of it is you can’t teach speed
Other teams can try but I refer you to the top six on mph lists
And Waddle hasn’t even really got going yet
Not many teams in the league can contain the 2023 Miami Dolphins offense. Our defense simply has to be solid. Same on STs.
We’ll have some tough games and lose a few. But we should make the playoffs in whatever slot.🙂
Actually, McDaniel is putting excitement back into the game.
People want to see stuff happen.
Not same ol same ol.
People got excited about the forward pass ,
Air Coryell, Run and Shoot, Greatest Show on Turf.
This is just the next Big Thing.
🙂
The greatest show in the Surf
I for one think TD passes are more exciting than sacks.
I think the rules or player skills got the D way ahead of the offense.
About 76% of 3-0 teams make the playoffs.
Since 1990
From CBS
Miami Dolphins
The run offense may be more lethal than the pass offense: The Dolphins rushed for 350 yards and averaged 8.1 yards per carry in their demolition of the Broncos. The pass offense is dominant with Tua Tagovailoa, but the rushing attack may actually be better. Miami is first in rush yards per game (188.3), rush touchdowns (eight), and yards per carry (6.1). Raheem Mostert is averaging 5.9 yards per carry and De’Von Achane is averaging 10.9 yards per carry. Chris Brooks is averaging 7.3 yards per carry! These numbers are inflated because of the Denver game, but Miami rushed for 145 yards against New England’s defense the week prior. The rushing attack is just as dangerous as the passing game — and maybe even better
I also love the running game. Sayers was more fun to watch than Moss. IMHO
Mostert and Achane are fast, but there were huge running lanes all over the LOS.
The beauty of the scheme is anybody can run through those if they buy into it.
The scheme stretches the D horizontally so thin
the RB only has to beat one or two guys and he’ll get 8 or 50 yards.
A Ferrari is going through those holes a lot faster than a dump truck once our guys get loose you can’t catch them. Look at Brooks a mere mortal he was the only guy Denver ran down all day. Achane would have scored that’s a huge difference.
Then the fatigue factor kicks in from the Bigs having to run side to side every play.
Our worst 2 plays were when we tried to jam the FB into the D wall.
They should’ve just run a regular play and gotten our average 6 yards.
It’s no longer insane to predict us winning 60 – 28.

Any idea about Ramsay’s progress recovering?
All teams are 3 games into the season. What a perfect time to play a huge game in Buffalo. Both sides have 3 games of video. I expect a good game.🙂
It was a good game last time and we were broken…
We need to bring it/step up…
That was last year. This Sunday is a different beast. This is a big game. Love that it’s on TV.🙂
I know that…kinda my point
Okay, love being on top and playing big games early.🙂

Mostly, I think the stat “pressure” is flawed. Every time I see a QB throw a completion or a TD, and the defensive player gets credited for a pressure, you have to laugh. It’s nonsense
As Fonzi once said, you’ve had to have hit someone for others to fear you
Get a couple of quick sacks, so the QB starts looking for the rush, then all you need are pressures, because he’ll become checkdown Charlie or throwaway Theodore
Against Wilson there were no early sacks, so we put no fear in him making the rush or pressures useless
You can’t just go by sacks or whatever you’re doing the rest of the time becomes meaningless
Miami Dolphins wide receiver Jaylen Waddle remains in concussion protocol
Jaylen Waddle suffered a concussion late in the fourth quarter against the New England Patriots.

Jaylen Waddle suffered a concussion against the New England Patriots and was forced to miss Sunday’s thrashing of the Denver Broncos. The 2021 first-round pick isn’t ready to return just yet and remains in concussion protocol, according to Miami Dolphins coach Mike McDaniel.
Jaylen Waddle is still in the concussion protocol,” he said on Monday, “but we’ll progress through that and we’re very optimistic in how he’s feeling. Just worry about him getting right and that should take care of itself here soon.”
Sunday marked the first game Waddle missed since his rookie season. The former Alabama Crimson Tide wide receiver caught eight of 11 targets for 164 yards but is yet to find the end zone this season.
Miami will take its three-game winning streak on the road for an AFC East bout against the Buffalo Bills in Week 4. The Dolphins will release the week’s first injury report on Wednesday, which should provide an update on Waddle’s availability.
I really hope he plays
Yeah, we need him against Buffalo, especially with Cracraft out
I just turned on the tube a NFL network is showing game…
That pregame smug little Payton face was in full bloom…uh. oh!
TD…. lol
TD
🐽, Only thing I’ve heard on Ramsey is possibly November maybe not into December.
I think it’ll be after the bye either Raiders or stej
That’s when our real D will be on the field
I am not happy at all with Madden 24’s current set up / ratings. It’s like really hard to complete a pass. Come on man
And our speed doesn’t show at all. Guys backpeddling to catch up with Tyreek…..
OK, I’m siting down to watch the second half of the game again, again.
The jump forward 30 second button is awesome!
Justin Bethel is a smart player. He is right there and does stuff like shield himself from a lineman with another player and then shed them both to make a tackle for a loss. He blocked a WR into a OL and took them both out just enough to slip past them and make a TFL
I forgot Achane had a TD called back for holding
20+ yard
Ingold had a LOT to do with those running stats. He is blocking the shit out of people
Seems a lot of players are blocking the shit out of people
MM has officially gotten everyone to buy into everyone blocks
LOL There were literally 5 Buffalo D on the ground on that play. A CHAN is sooo fast. And surprisingly powerful. P=MV I’m going to get a custom patch P=MV on my jersey which when I checked yesterday isn’t going to be here until 10/11 They say
Buffalo? Someone is looking ahead 😉
LOL NO there will be 6 cows on the ground next week, those were donkeys, my bad. A fat slow Donkey looks a lot like a cow…. Right Piggy?
Who is this #73 guy who is mauling people in the run game?
Cinematic Recap
While watching our offense roll out, I am sooo excited to see what other twists MM has tucked away for this Sunday. You know he’s not going to let getting eliminated from the playoffs go.
I think there may have been a coaching point of emphasis in this game from Fangio about stripping the ball. I have seen 6-8 unsuccessful attempts. (a couple ruled as incomplete passes) hmmmmmm that makes me wonder, if you strip the WR of the ball in the act of making a reception and he loses the ball before finishing a football move (is in the process of attempting a football move, but doesn’t get that second foot down, etc) It’s an almost fumble. Should those type PBUs be considered pressures?
at 4:30 in the 3rd Achane does a little spin move that gets him about another 10 yards that is so wicked.
ROFLMAO!!
I just texted my older sister the Donkey’s fan “Hey” and waited until she responded “WU” “Dolphins just scored again. 🐬🐬🐬🤣
She replied “Blocked” 😁😆🤣😂🤣🐬🐬🐬
Lol
If Forrest was on our team and explaining Sunday’s win:
Our first touchdown came real easy so we thought ok let’s get another one and that came easy too
So we said let’s just keep getting those touchdowns. So we did
Then when we stopped getting them we had gotten ourselves ten of those touchdowns. They said that was pretty good. Coach Mike was pretty happy.
You know what I want? FU I’m going to tell you anyway…..
What was I saying? Oh, yeah, You know what I want? I want us to dominate the Bills the way we did Denver so the NFL goes “WHOA” WAIT
Because there’s been a lot of “whoa! wow man, but you know…”
Is it Friday yet?
Watching our backups the entire first team for the most part sitting, our 2nd’s and 3rds in and they are still rolling rolling rolling
Moo (in a Donkey accent)
Hey ^^ 👀I made a meme
🤣
Starting to get nervous for the Buffalo game and it’s only Tuesday
