The winless Carolina Panthers at 0-5 come to Miami to take on the 4-1 1st place Miami Dolphins this Sunday, A.K.A Fest Day! This is the best Dolphins team we’ve seen in some time. The offense is incredible, although we have lost rookie sensation RB De’Von Achane for a few weeks as he was placed on IR this week, meaning he’ll miss at least 4 games until he’s eligible to return the week of November 19th against the Raiders. Incidentally, Jeff Wilson Jr. is eligible to return from the PUP list but it has yet to be determined if Wilson will be active. RB Salvon Ahmed and Chris Brooks will most likely share reps with Mostert, with Mostert getting the majority of the touches.
I think the majority of us have a lot of positive feelings with this team. The Buffalo game was a sobering beat down, but the team came back strong against the beleaguered NY Giants. The defense especially made their presence felt last week. In place of Jaelan Phillips, backup LB Andrew Van Ginkel has been stellar. He has made his absence tolerable, although it would be great to have both og them available. Jaelan Phillps logged in a limited practice Wednesday, along with other limited participants WR Tyreek Hill, OG Robert Jones, RB Raheem Mostert, RB Jeff Wilson Jr., and nice to see the return of DB Nik Needham, one of my faves. CB Xavien Howard (veteran rest), FB Alec Ingold (foot), and OC Connor Williams (groin), did not practice. Ingold has said he’s playing Sunday, but Williams is one to keep an eye on, and maybe a late decision.
The Dolphins are the #1 passing team with 1681 yards. The Dolphins are also the #1 rushing team with 929 yards. That’s crazy! This offense, with the exception of the 2nd half of the Bills game has been nearly unstoppable. On defense however, it’s a different story. The Dolphins have allowed the 12th most passing yards, and the 15th most rushing yards. Not terrible, but not championship level either. Vic Fangio may have the Dolphins defense turning the corner, although even a strong showing against the Panthers will still leave the question as to whether this defense, and team in general, can play well against one of the better teams, like the Philadelphia Eagles. We’ll play them the following Sunday, and they will be a better gauge as to where this team is heading.
It’s a shame the Festers won’t get to see RB De’Von Achane who just eats up yardage so quickly, averaging an outrageous 12.1 yards per carry. I’m not talking 5-10 carries, it’s 38. Raheem Mostert is also having a great year rushing and is averaging a whopping 5.4 yards per carry, which is less than half of the magic man, De’Von Achane, but still impressive. We will get to see Tyreek Hill, who has also been magical this season. Hill has 651 yards receiving and is averaging 18.1 YPR, crazy considering all the extra attention he receives. Jaylen Waddle has 245 yards receiving, 14.4 YPR. Braxton Berrios has been great getting open finding soft spots in the zones or just beating coverage to get open.
The Panthers will be showing off their rookie QB Bryce Young who is having a decent rookie season. Young has been sacked 12 times so far this season. Young has 750 yards passing with 5 TD’s and 4 INT’s and a 77 QBR. In contrast, Tua has 1614 yards, with 11 TD’s and 5 INT’s and a stellar 111.9 QBR. It would be nice to have a healthy Jaelan Phillips back, but it’s still unclear as to whether he will suit up. In any case, AVG is on fire right now, so this defense is going to bring it whether Phillips is there or not. I do hope we activate Nik Needham, but I think we have until the 29th to activate him, so it’s probably not happening this week.
No matter what happens at the game itself, this is a special time getting together with a great group. It’s such a pleasure to see you all each year, and of course, we’re thankful for Stanger’s hospitality, Chef Warren, communications man Hulk, transportation man Toba, and everyone who attends and makes it such a special time. It will be great to finally meet Herd, looking forward to that! Looking forward to meeting up again and having a great time while we’re together. Cheers!
GO DOLPHINS!!!
Finsmob Unleashed 
Bullshit
That’s a hold
Fuck
We have no chance in this game if our line plays like this
Then we have no chance . We have 3/5 out
That was a hold but it was no worse than what I saw on the other side
Exactly, I saw their guy do the same thing, no call
He had a headlock on Phillips earlier
3-3 after nearly 15. Don’t care what’s happened so far that’s a result
Tight ends and WRs missing blocks on Reddick..
A WR in no way should be assigned to block him
I agree 💯 %
That drive had what? like 9 plays, and 6 of them were negative yards?
These are the defending NFC champions who we’re playing. Not too bad so far, all in all.
It’s going to be a problem Cav
I’m so sick of our special teams.
There is our STs
Sanders HAS to get the fucking ball in the end zone
Long blatantly held
Gotta clean some shit up, and hope Wynn comes back. So far, alright.
Well, the tackling has been much better tonight
What a dumb play
That play is impossible to stop
Too ticky tack
PUSSY call
Ain’t 2028 olympics yet
Fecking BS
terrible roughing call
smh at that fucking call
In a shocking turn of events, we can’t cover the TE
I mean, overcome adversity, sure. But this is ridiculous.
Both My offenses are being offensive!
I really hope our offense looks better this drive
Our LB can’t cover Godirt and
also just got caught up in the trash and
made zero impact on the pass rush.
That was close
Why is the offense being so cute tonight?
No line
Another fail on special teams
Man. We’re in trouble tonight.
We look like shit
We need to bust there ass deep and often!
( I know that sounded bad )
Unless OL plays better we can’t do that
Need the run to set that up
They are keying on the run!
We are going to have to back them off!
Resembles Buffalo game where we just got out muscled and punched in the mouth … hope we turn around quickly
We have 3 guys on our O-line out, and our best CB out as well. We’re still in it, can’t let them score any more in this half
Our Defense had better make a stand or this game could get out of control.
3/5 of our line is backups against maybe the best dline in the league. I expect a whole game of this shit.
I can’t wait until Apple is on the bench where he belongs
Fuck!
Double fuck!
The only positive in this game so far is our dline has been really good
Game over
Yep.
Doesn’t look like it’s our night
So frustrating, we did just about everything right, got good pressure, just couldn’t stay with the coverage. Sack was absolutely necessary there
They get paid to play as well
9 out of 10 times that’s a sack
We don’t belong until we get a real OL
“Sure, they can whip the bad teams, but can’t compete with the elite teams.”
Looking like the week’s narrative at this point yep
Correct. We can’t.
I hope they put out there whole OL doing that stupid push play!
Who is Nickerson , and why is he playing ahead of Cam Smith 🤔?
Normally, I wouldn’t be intimidated by a 14 point deficit. But we have 36 yards of total offense.
Offense had better figure something out this drive or this could get even uglier real fast
Yeah. If we don’t score a TD here this game is pretty much over.
I feel that as well even though we get ball to start 2nd half
Waddle with a back injury. This is a fucking nightmare
I think pushing an offensive player from behind should be outlawed.
If I wanted to watch rugby, I would.
un fucking real
What is with this horrible playcalling
What are you doing?
Too bad Jackson reacted, but hey that was a real cute play
And the false start on cotton…and going…and going…and going
Can we punt on third ?
Ignore that 😎
Stupid play call
Wow, that was kind of amazing, lol
Just drop back and let it rip
Especially on 1st down
SEE you can get it downfield!
Hey, it’s all going our way now. Go down, get the TD, give them under 20 seconds on the clock. We go into half down 7, score a TD on our opening drive of the 2nd half, get a big stop on their 1st drive, and never look back. hell yeah, we got this…
Pass the Homeraide
Your going to have to reach out and get it!
I think Cris Collinsworthless needs to shut his hole. We’re down to only 2 starters on our O-Line, X and Ramsey are out, and we’re playing on the road in Illy Philly.
3 on the OL
Did she just say it wasn’t better than a high five?
Tua’s an assassin on 3rd down
Thaswatumtalkinbiut
Perfect pass
Just Do IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
That was sweet
BOOM!!!
That so looked like Tua had overthrown that ….👍😎
I thought the same exact thing
You can’t overthrow Hill
If ya throw it out the back of the endzone 🤷♂️ yes you can 😎
Nice 2 yd thru the air pass from Tua
😆
That was a huge play
LOL, that prescription medicine commercial for controlling hot flashes in women, they list one of the side effects of the medicine as hot flashes.
Big ball play
Cav,
Tell us what you’re drinking!
It’s always rum and coke, brother…with a big splash of homeraide tonight. We stayed in it into the 3rd, we get the ball 1st. Our dline is playing well enough that we might be able to get a few stops in the 2nd half. Fingers crossed!!
There ya go, Phillips! Hey, we’re back in this
Phillips with the Flying was funny
yeahhhh we not cooked yet.
Did Jaelan Phillips actually register a sack?!!
Or was it a pressure 😎
😆
It goes down as a pressure, hit and a sack. LOL
Yes dear!
( you pessimistic Bastage) 😉
Phillips being held still gets the sack
Fuckit!
Just out score the MF’s
I do believe that is the strategy
Kinda like this afternoon.. wife asked how the fuck is NE beating Buffalo?? I piped off , they have scored more points 🤷♂️🤡
That’s what I said pre-game, my guy!!!
Tough 1st half but it’s a game. We can’t afford any more injuries though.
Omar called this a body bag game. Not wrong
Even thought the run game is failing they need to keep trying. Ave that shit back out with a few big zip boom pows
Need to force another TO
Let’s score a TD first though
Nice you literal asshats!
I meant fuck the run! Just air it out!
Score 70 again!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I resemble that remark
🤡🤡👍👍
^
Anybody else find it… *strange* that the deepest voice on the SNF halftime cast is the woman?
We need to score this first possession. And then every one after that. 😂
We have -7 yards rushing
Square peg – round hole
That’s the result of having T-Stead, Connor Williams, and now Wynn out. We’re down to 2 starters on the O-Line… OUCH.
6 penalties on the Dolphins
0 for Eagles
Dolphins get called for holding on a TD. Dolphin defenders get put in choke hold and Eagles don’t get called. Roughing Penalty was BS.
Refs strategically killing us
That hold on 89 was another terrible call
INDEED!
It was a hold.
Not on the replay I saw
Achmed has to plant his feet and catch that
Tua was a little off on the throw
Tua missed him
Finally a good STs play.
Penalties are killing us
Let’s go DEFENSE!!!!
I am getting pretty pissed off at the BS penalties we continue to get. We’re playing both the Eagles and the Zebras.
Need a bigtime TO here
Gee no hold call on them
“They wanted to make sure Jalen Hurts knew it was 2nd down”… WTF is that???
Stop
