The regular season is upon us, as our Miami Dolphins host the Jacksonville Jaguars at Hard Rock Stadium at 1PM, Sunday September 8th. As we enter this game, there are many questions that will be answered shortly. Will Jalen Ramsey play? Will Aaron Brewer play? Jaelan Phillips will play, but how much? Will there actually be a heavy rotation on the defensive line? Which OLB’s will get the most snaps early in this 2024 season? Will the offensive line play well enough to protect our $212M QB? Will the Dolphins actually use the TE as a weapon and not an afterthought in our new offense? Which RB will get the most action, between RB Raheem Mostert, RB De’Von Achane and RB Jaylen Wright? I’ll have some answers, really just MY answers coming up!
It looks a little more likely that CB Jalen Ramsey may play, he’s supposed to be practicing today, and if he can do so successfully, he will surely be in the starting lineup. If not, he’ll have to wait until next Thursday against our division rival Buffalo Bills. It also appears that C Aaron Brewer, who has not practiced in a few weeks but logged two limited practices will be starting at C. That means Liam Eichenberg will start at RG. The O-line will be as follows – LT Terron Armstead – LG Robert Jones – C Aaron Brewer – RG Liam Eichenberg – RT Austin Jackson. On the D-line, it looks like LE Zach Siler, NT Benito Jones, and RE Calais Campbell. Behind them is Brandon Pili and Da’Shawn Hand, but I believe that DE/OLB Emmanuel Ogbah will be in the mix there as well, although he will surely log snaps at OLB as well, splitting time with Jaelan Phillips, Chop Robinson, Mo Kamara and Quinton Bell.
We were told early on there would be a heavy rotation on the D-line, which will keep players fresher, and allow better performance from all players. Last year, DE Christian Wilkins played 81% of the snaps at DE. That type of workload is supposedly out the window, and when your RDE is 38, you can believe it. The bigger question is not whether or not will have a heavy rotation, but rather will it be effective? That’s the fuzzy part, but Sunday, both in part will be revealed. We had quite a few D-linemen on our roster, and expected to carry more than 5, 6 if you count Ogbah. I could guess that quality won over quantity, but we’ll see if the so called “second wave” or “tsunami” is anywhere close to getting the job done. This will be a must watch.
I have been feeling since we acquired TE Jonnu Smith, who by the way will be listed as a FB, will be a big part of the offense. Not always the first target, but if #1 and #2 are covered, and Jonnu is open, and he should have plenty of opportunity to do just that with all the attention Hill and Waddle will be getting. Last season, TE Durham Smythe caught 35 passes. Also last season, with Atlanta, Jonnu Smith caught 50 passes, and keep in mind he was TE2 there with promising TE Kyle Pitts as the #1. One possibility that I’m well aware of is at least last season, Tua doesn’t hold onto the ball much, but just looking at the 35 receptions by Smythe, I can tell you he wasn’t the first target on the majority of those catches. Tua gets the ball out quick, many times out of necessity to avoid getting hit, but sometimes he extends plays, and I believe this season, that will increase as he has new contract, and I’m not saying he will be reckless, but I do think he’s going to try and keep plays going whereas last year he was trying to get through an entire season.
Trevor Lawrence had an uneven season, much like our own QB Tua Tagovailoa. Tua’s slide was more at the end of the season, Lawrence had a few good ones, a bad one, then a couple of good ones, but for the last games in the regular season, against the Ravens, Bucs and Titans, he was pretty awful, and I believe playing injured as well. This year, however, the Jaguars definitely improved the skill positions. The Jags drafted WR Brian Thomas from LSU. They also picked up WR Gabe Davis formerly of the Buffalo Bills. Christian Kirk is healthy now, after missing the last 5 regular season games and their playoff game. Kirk is a big part of their offense, and with Gabe Davis, and Brian Thomas, they’re more formidable. RB Travis Etienne is a solid back who rushed for over 1000 yards and had 11 rushing TD’s. The Jags also picked up former Bills OC Mitch Morse to solidify the O-line.
On defense, it starts with DE Josh Hines-Allen, who set a Jacksonville Jaguars record with 17.5 sacks last season, eclipsing the former record held by none other than our RDE Calais Campbell (14.5). The Jags picked up veteran DL Arik Armstead in FA from the 49ers. He’s a very disruptive lineman in his own right. MLB Foyesade Oluokun had 173 tackles and 111 of them were solo. In the secondary, the Jags added veteran CB Ronald Darby and he will start at LCB oppositeTyson Campbell. Darby started only 7 games for the Ravens last season while Campbell started 11. Antonio Johnson and Andre Cisco are the safeties. The secondary is the weakest part of the Jags defense, but their defense is great at getting pressure, so we’ll see how that affects our run:pass ratio.
We tend to start out the season pretty strong under MM, last year it was an impressive comeback victory in LA over the Chargers, 36-34. We’re home, and we tend to play better here, but the Jaguars, also a Florida team, won’t succumb to the heat like some other teams might. There are also a lot of questions about personnel, due to the myriad of injuries we have. If you told me before the season that C Aaron Brewer who started every game the last 2 seasons might not play Week 1, but OLB Jaelan Phillips will be playing, I’d call you crazy! As it turns out, they’ll both probably play, but you get my point. We need to start strong again, our schedule, at least at the moment is more favorable early on, home for the Jaguars, home for the Bills, at Seattle, home again for the Titans with whom we have a score to settle. Then we travel to Foxborough to take on the Pats, then our BYE week. We then go to Indy to face the Colts and back home for The Fest game against the Arizona Cardinals. We stay on left coast to face the LA Rams, and then back home for two, to face the LV Raiders and then the Patriots again. Here’s where the screw turns, at Green Bay Thanksgiving eve in what should be a frigid night. At home to face the NY Jets for the first time of the season.Then off to Texas to play the Houston Texans. We then host the 49ers, and the final two games on the road at Cleveland, and then the season finale in New Jersey to face the Jets.
As Rock points out, every game counts, and that’s 100% correct. The problem is, we seem to fall off of a cliff at the end of the season after climbing said cliff during the beginning and middle. The objective is to stay on the damn mountain! We can’t have half the team injured and we need our best players, especially the ones now receiving massive contracts to play well in ALL games, even if they occur at the end of the season as the schedule dictates! LOL! Anyway, that’s why I feel we need to start strong, but any combination of 11 or 12 wins for us will be totally acceptable to me, I’m easy!
GO DOLPHINS!!!!
Finsmob Unleashed 
I’m sure some of you, if not ALL of you, have tried to get in a low-rider, especially a high performance car. It takes a fucking minute to get in AND out of those cars.
You don’t just “step out of the car sir.”
You actually have to have someone reach in and grab you buy the arm and back of the neck and pull you out and to the ground. LMFAO!!!!
Are we still going on about this?
Yes, because it was a dirtbag move and I’m disappointed the richest WR in the NFL had to act like this over an incident where he was also partially at fault. Acting like a grown man seems to be beyond his skillset and manipulating society while you are greatly benefitting from it already is truly tasteless and scummy.
saying he is also “partially” at fault is just straight BULLSHIT! Do you think battered wives are also Partially at fault because they know their husbands are abusive but just can’t keep their fat mouths shut? Come On man! Yeah, he was asking for it. FFS!
Krishna,
When you play like you’re dense, it makes you seem like a dishonest debater in a conversation. I’ll go slow on my explanation since you couldn’t get the link after watching it twice and his words being posted as well.
Collins: You just tweeted a moment ago. You said, let’s make a change. What did you mean by that?
Hill: We tried it all. We protested. We took a knee. What’s next? We’re brainstorming on how we can be a part of this change.
What possible other explanation to taking a knee is there beyond changing police actions while doing their job? Just like what BLM was doing with Floyd? What protests was he talking about outside of BLM protests? What change is Tyreek going for and who did the same things in 2020?
It’s incredibly dishonest to change an argument from the stated purposes to ‘show me specific words’. Why argue if you can’t even follow the insinuations? If you can’t be honest about the purpose of his words?
When you gas light conversations and are given a chance to back out it’s not being dense. I called you out (apparently it was too subtle) and instead you double-downed.
I wasn’t being dense. It was a difference of opinion. I get to have one, unlike you thinking that I should see the world the way you see it.
TH was belligerent. His first go to was I am a football celebrity going to work. I am entitled. That’s what it was.
Then, people like you gaslight it to be about BLM. Talk about being a dishonest debater….lmao. It never was.
He’s a black rich entitled celebrity who acts like a child and is a bit dangerous. That’s what I see. That’s all I see.
Sorry, not sorry, I don’t share your opinion…because I’m dense….lol.
If you don’t think discrimination (racial, sexual, religious, etc.) exists in America, then, I can’t help you…you’re being dense.
I hope it is just the media and blogs having this continuing debate and Tyreek and the Dolphins are 100% focused on the Bills.
the team has sucked Tyreek’s balls ever since the incident was made public, so I assume no one is going to hold him accountable
if someone does it will be after the game, or during the mini bye
He WILL be held “accountable”. He will pay his speeding ticket like any of us would and move the F on.
He picks Buffalo but still interesting
he didn’t act like someone fearing he could’ve been shot

Updates on injuries so far:
Mostert is OUT for Thursday’s game
Achane is questionable – reported he will be a game time decision
Washington is questionable but will most likely be inactive
Eichenberg is questionable with a shoulder injury
No word on David Long’s status with an injured finger. I’m sure he will be a go for tomorrow.
Of course, Phillips and Ramsey are questionable with their injuries but hope they will be good to go.
Wasn’t Wright hurt last week too?
No just inactive
I think he was inactive as a precaution due to due his previous injury.
Two very big concerns there on offense.
1. Jeff Wilson is not fast or shifty. If Achane can’t go, it will limit what the offense can do when Wilson is in there. Welcome to the NFL Wright.
2. We all know what Eichenberg is. Now he will be going up against ED Oliver with a jacked up shoulder. Yikes!
I don’t think it will impact the passing game too much (maybe a sack), but the running game was already awful last week. I expect those issues to continue and that will make us far too one dimensional. I really wish we could have found a way to pay one of the big uglies because a one-dimensional offense, no matter how fast, will not get there against the best teams.
We rushed for over 2,300 yards last year. Week one of a season doesn’t define anything.
Why compare last year and this year? We are a different team with different players and coaches?
Ken – Healthy scratch? WTF/ He was playing so well in preseason
yeah, not a huge special teams contributor. He said he was disappointed last week but understood and then pointed out that Achane was inactive for his first possible game as well so he didn’t feel too terrible about it.
Don’t think teams need 4 tailbacks for game day.
I was surprised at that also. Wilson does have the experience and some power though. They went with that instead.
Not this week. It will be mainly Wilson and Wright with hopefully some Achane.
He was a healthy scratch. They opted for Wilson over Wright. I was skeptical as well but Wilson delivered in crunch time
I am not happy Mostert is out tomorrow, but I am excited to see Jaylen Write get his first opportunity. I hope he follows in Achane’s footsteps. (Sitting game one and then having three 100 yard plus games in his first four games dressing. )
Who do we have on the practice squad? Because if Achane can’t go we only have two healthy backs in Wilson and Write. We need more than that to play an entire game!
WTF is Deneric Prince? He is the only other RB on the team (Practice squad) MAYBE he get’s elevated for a game?
Will we be lining up Alec Ingold as half back instead of FB? Jannu?
I could see us putting Jannu back there in a pinch…
WTF did the NFL schedule us to have two games in 5 days and the short week against the division rival!
@CameronWolfe
De’Von Achane practiced today in what appeared to be a lighter walkthrough session. Watched him go thru all RB drills & reps including changing direction/catching passes on his ankle. No red jersey or clear visual limitations from media viewing.
@flasportsbuzz
Achane moves well in Wednesday’s media availability part of practice
@The33rdTeamFB
Josh Allen’s career stats vs. MIA:
• 11-2 record
• 0.22 EPA/dropback
• 42 TDs/13 turnovers
• 336.39 yards per game
• 108.7 passer rating
Tua Tagovailoa’s career stats vs. BUF:
• 1-6 record
• -0.12 EPA/dropback
• 7 TDs/7 turnovers
• 216.14 yards per game
• 77.4 passer rating
And, Miami has sucked most of Josh Allen’s record, half of it was 1-5 before Tua. Stats….
Combining the Dolphins being terrible up until last two years (making the playoffs), one could say 11 out of the 13 years were due to being on a poor team with little talent.
@OmarKelly
For those keeping score, Robbie Chosen has taken his dreads out.
And Tyreek Hill showed up at practice late. Mike McDaniel acknowledged he had a knee procedure this offseason, like he told the officers.
@OmarKelly
“He was working through it during the game. I’ve learned he might be the last guy I will ask if he’s good. His injury, not many people play with,” McDaniel on Raheem Mostert said.
Yeah, probably none of the other BS would have happened.
@OmarKelly
Dolphins WR Tyreek Hill admits he wishes he would have handled himself differently in the car when the officers approached.
Although, it did show the true colors of an over aggressive officer. He’s a 20+ year vet from what I understand so this is most likely not the first time he has been like this, in abusing his authority.
My thoughts exactly….and apparently it’s condoned.
I agree, Tyreek’s behavior is condoned, since no one has held him accountable for anything he’s done the past 2 years
Why are you up his ass? Every fucking celebrity gets preferential treatment and few are held accountable. This is new to you?
Seems like Achane will play. 🙂
https://x.com/AnnieAgar/status/1833545393629798890
LOL!! Since signing his new contract, Danial Jones has thrown more touch down passes to opposing defense than he has to his own offense!
Holy shit! It’s true! LOL He has thrown 8 EIGHT interceptions vs 2 TD’s since he signed his contract.
Watching the various vids of the Incident — I was struck that the cops seemed to have no F-ing clue they were dealing with Tyreek Hill till long into it.
Despite it being a fit young dude driving a $300k McClaren one block away from the stadium entrance on game day and then a bunch of real huge, fit dudes stopping to help him.
Tyreek gave up his license early on, but my guess is the cop pocketed it till he was ready to write the ticket.
same
And they are right outside the stadium
there are a lot of problems with the incident
but how dumb are these particular cops to think there are no consequences for this?
Might have been a case where the obnoxious “Do you know who I am” might have made life better for all involved.
Also guessing when the fact it was Tyreek came out — maybe when the Dolphins’ head of security showed up — the cops were going “what the heck is on my bodycam?”
are they supposed to care?
should he have privilege?
Given these guys are in the national news right now and there is ongoing investigation of them, seems they would at least be interested. If you were a cop wouldn’t you like to know you were pulling a Senator out of his car and cuffing him?
they aren’t supposed to but they ought to know when you pick on people with resources, they have the means to hit back pretty hard
I think Stangers point was that they didn’t even know – it would be one thing if they recognized him and said to themselves they wouldn’t treat him any differently
but they didn’t even seem to be aware they were pulling over a Dolphins player arriving at the stadium which is crazy considering what he was driving
my guess is, if they realized who he was, they would not have to handcuffed him – but they didn’t even seem to be aware
not many kickoff returned, thought they wanted more, except they forgot one small thing
NFL geniuses, why not move the kicker back to the 25?🤦♂️
Well, we only have one week of statistics, but from the preseason –
The league was pleased with a return rate of 70.5% in the preseason, up significantly from last season’s 54.8% in exhibition games. There were also more big returns and better average starting field position, which could increase scoring after a drop last season to the lowest level since 2017.
HUH!
Per the league, Week 1 had 57 kickoff returns and a 33-percent return rate. Both were five-year highs. Of the total kicks, 25 percent were caught or hit the ground in the 20-yard landing zone. Another 73 percent were kicked into or through the end zone.
There was a ko return for a TD
I don’t think Wright is injured
I expect him to get some touches Thursday
and I’m excited about it
weeeeeeeeeeeee
🐖💨💨💨
Greg Cote from the Herald: (one of the few writers I’ve seen pick the Dolphins to win)
The Dolphins are are exceptionally tight-knit team that was given a reason to draw even closer with Sunday’s unnecessary and violently ugly detainment of star Tyreek Hill over a traffic stop outside the stadium. The controversy and internal review over the Miami-Dade police overreaction and abuse of power continue, and I believe intangibles like this can effect a team — positively in this case. With that backdrop and a prime-time home stage vs. a nemesis rival, the Fins will come out absolutely amped Thursday night. And the home-field advantage will be magnified with Hard Rock rockin’ as the Fins display their popular aqua throwback jerseys. There will be no sluggish start as there was in Week 1, when Miami needed a second-half rally to edge Jacksonville, while Buffalo also struggled to beat Arizona. The Dolphins are 13-11 all time on Thursday nights including a split vs. the Buffs in 2012 and ‘14. Ten years later this meeting finds the Dolphins on a four-game series losing streak with 11 losses in the past 12 meetings. Ouch. That makes this a Litmus test for this young season, because the AFC East-champ Bills are the one team Miami must learn to beat. Fins also must show they can beat quality foes, with 10 of 11 wins last year coming against teams that finished with a losing record. In addition to the home field Miami owns the revenge factor after last year’s crucial 21-14 home loss to end the regular season is what sent the Fins flying to sub-freezing Kansas City for a decisive playoff loss. Miami will win Thursday. Ex-Bills safety Jordan Poyer and the Dolphins defense will force at least one turnover from Josh Allen, and Tua Tagovailoa will have another big passing game vs. a Buffs secondary missing cornerback Taron Johnson. Running back injuries are an issue for Miami with Raheem Mostert out and De’Von Achane iffy, but depth is reasonably good with Jeff Wilson Jr. and the likely season debut of promising rookie Jaylen Wright. Arizona last week mauled the Bills run-D for 162 yards on only 21 carries and, with the Bison needing to emphasize deep coverage vs. Miami’s air game, running lanes should again be open. One last thing about that current 1-11 Dolphins skid vs. Buffalo entering this Game of the Week-quality matchup: Ever hear of the law of averages? It’s a thing. And it’s Miami’s turn.
Final injury report:
Mostert and Washington OUT
Achane (Ankle) Questionable
S Elijah Campbell (Achilles) Questionalable
Eich, Ramsey, Phillips and Long were on the report but had no designation
That’s good to hear about Eich. Full participation is great! I think of him as the “weak link” but his backup would be worse you would think.
I guess Cotton is the backup for either spot
if you beleive PFF grades – he actually played well
Last week, they elevated WR Chosen from the PS due to Washington being out. Why not elevate EZ instead.
I hope they elevate EZ this week. Especially since Berrios can’t seem to get open and I think he would bring more to the table than Chosen.
Looks like they kept Chosen on the 53 and didn’t send him back to the PS. So they probably won’t be elevating EZ.
When I went to the site to look I finally stopped to look at our PUP / IR list. WOW! We have 12 players on IR or PUP!
I didn’t realize that about Chosen. I thought it is just a game day elevation then they automatically revert back to the PS. Then after being called up a 3rd time they have to stay on the 53.
A doctor familiar with the type chest injury Mostert has, it’s most likely he misses week 2 and week 3 when the Dolphins travel to Seattle.
What kind of scheduling BS is this. Bills play Dolphins tomorrow night then have 11 days off and don’t play again until the next Monday night at home vs the Jaguars.
11 days off before a trip to Seattle is perfect
Miami to Seattle is the longest trip in the nfl
the scheduling is advantageous
we get 11 days off before a tough west coast game
8 days before a MNF game after traveling to the west coast
when the schedule came out I zeroed in on that bc I am always concerned about road trips/weather/etc
A trip to Seattle can be really rough for us historically
FYI we don’t play the jaguars on MNF – we play the titans
We don’t have 11 days off, the Bills do.
We have 10 off.
I know we don’t play the Jaguars. I was talking about the Bills and how they get 11 days off.
The schedule makers did give us a break on the Seattle game, 10 days off before then 8 days after.
Tyreek Hill should be suspended to “hold him accountable” we should all want this…..🤪
Steve, you have been squeaking for days about how Tyreek isn’t held accountable. Just exactly WHAT do you think he needs to be held accountable for and WHO should hold him accountable? Speeding ticket (careless driving citation – $179.00)
I don’t get your angst over the “lack of accountability”
He gave a guy a “smack” to the back of the head – He PAID for it.
He’s knocked up several women (None of our business) He is PAYING for them.
He injured an Instagram “Model” playing football. He is being sued in civil court over it. (money grab)
He’s not Fn’ Hannibal Lecter what are all the other things that have you so up in arms about? What exactly does he need to “pay for”
Don’t forget the bullshit fines from the NFL.
I think Tyreek has been held accountable. He just never learns a lesson from these encounters. lol
https://www.sportingnews.com/us/nfl/news/tyreek-hill-domestic-violence-child-abuse-investigation/neqfn40200lt16ik2142ay772
model citizen Tyreek Hill just can’t stay out of trouble, he keeps putting himself in harms way
Fins pay him a lot of money, hope they are protected from his behavior, when the next issue arises
he needs to grow up
I guess you’re ok with all of his BS
I agree with Rock. Why are you up his ass?
We do have a pretty good early schedule. Even though this is a short week, we aren’t the ones traveling to Miami’s heat to deal with it. We have a solid break for both the Seattle game and the one after it. We are the oldest team in the NFL so I’m liking this.
The narrative about our team being so old is because of a handful of players that tilt the average higher. What is old, mid and late 20’s?
old is a player, that has lost a step
and can’t function At a high level
That’s not what I was referring to.
I’m just having fun with us being the youngest a few years ago and are now the dreaded grandpa team
That is so cool to see the process, thank you
I’m VERY happy that ‘Reek has announced that he won’t take a knee, he won’t endorse BLM or other rabble-rousing groups, and that he’s not calling for protests.
He either received outstanding advice from somebody he really respects, or maybe… just maybe, he’s growing up a little bit.
And that he revealed he could have handled the police situation better is an additional positive sign.
Was watching Fox News a moment ago (Jesse Watters), and even THEY felt as though it was a bad look on both sides.
I stand by what I stated yesterday… the police KNEW who they had, even before pulling him over… and certainly after ‘Reek gave them his ID: ‘Reek was targeted by these cops.
Yes, ‘Reek fucked up by speeding and being a pain in their ass. However, that does NOT WARRANT the actions thereafter by the police… especially when they (or at least one of them) KNEW who he was and essentially posed no threat behind a tinted window coming to game day. JMO
I do not believe in preferential treatment anymore than I believe police officers have the right to harass, intimidate, or otherwise over-excercize their ‘power’.
Nothing good ever happens when egos collide. ‘Reek fucked up: 1 demerit, and he’ll pay his fines. The police OVER-REACTED: 3 demerits, and somebody should lose his job(s). JMO
Alright, I’m on to Buffalo, putting the ‘Reek situation behind me. This is a very ‘winnable’ game, despite some of our injuries.
I think Jordan Poyer can tell us more about the Bills’ Offense and Josh Allen, than Mike White can tell them about our Offense.
It’s all going to come down to trench-play, IMO. Yes, we’re primed to WIN!
Don’t get me wrong (OY!)… I’m still suspect about both sides of our Lines, but we can DO THIS! Tua will get it out fast, and our pass-rush is FAST-N-FURIOUS!
As I said to Cav Kong on game day, Mostert took one helluva hit on his first run of the game. Sounds as though he played through it the entire game… probably only made matters worse.
Even a limited Achane — coupled with Wilson and Wright — will wreck shop against the Bills tomorrow night… provided our O-Line is successful in run-blocking.
According to PFF… and only after 1 week, of course… we are the #2 run-blocking team in the NFL (81.5), trailing only the Colts (90.2). Yeah, that’s not a typo: HUGE difference from 81.5 and 90.2.
When I say run-blocking, I’m talking about our Offense.
According to PFF… and only after 1 week, of course… we are the #3 run-defending team in the NFL (78.6), trailing only the Vikes (84.5) and the Charge (79.1).
PFF (again, only after 1 game) seems to think we have top-5 TRENCHES, both sides of the ball. Take it for whatever it may be worth… and with a grain of salt.
Is anybody keeping predictions for tomorrow evening’s game?
If so,
🏈 : 34-28, PHINS!!!
Hey MF13!! – – Gotta go with the Bills 24-20. Tua has not shown the ability to rise up and beat the top teams in the league with any consistency. Buffalo, on the other hand, has had the edge in this blood rivalry in recent years.
TUA has to “SHOW ME” that he is “THE MAN” tonight!!
IT’S GAME DAY BITCHES!!!
Go Dolphins!!

I hope he is doing well.
Same with D
Haven’t heard from him on here since Hurricane Sally.
Hope he and Howie are well.
My point on KOs was, we were supposed to see significantly more KO returns, yet it’s only marginally higher, because the league FDup with where the kicker kicks off
keys to victory
can’t let Allen convert a high percent of 3rd downs using his feet
keep Allen from throwing for 250+ yards
keep their running game from going crazy
score 24+
“Fins for the win”

Go Dolphins!!!
At least throw in a load of towels. Even if you have to go pull clean ones off the bars in the bathrooms. LOL
Can’t risk it.
I’ve got 5 loads ready to wash!

I don’t know who was responsible for it but the Wegman’s in my Southern Va. City has a wall dedicated to Bills Merchandise. It makes me laugh every time I shop there.

don’t think we match up in a high scoring game, see Crabbs video below
I don’t think the Bills score much either….😂😂😂
I agree with Crabbs, we need to run more 12 and 21 personnel
Allen made a lot of plays vs AZ with his legs. Crabbs
I look at it this way, Allen plays like a video game in that for a season he has only so much of a lifeline (his lifeline gets used each time he runs), so the more he runs early in the season, especially against bad teams, the less likely Buffalo is at peak performance late in the season
45-3
That would be sumpin
I gave our 🐬a few extra scores bc they are wearing the throwbacks….😂
I don’t want to pick a score. I want to see us play a good competitive game and come away with a victory. Whatever type of game it is just win baby!!! 🙂
It’s not mandatory, only an option with our fictional membership package here at FU. 😂
😂
I just want them all to have fun!
😂
LOL The Dolphins website tweeted that they have activated Chosen for the game. Someone neglected to tell the twitter staff that the team failed to demote him after last weeks game. It never popped on the transaction wire.
I want the Dolphins to crush the Bills, see them driven before them, and to hear the lamentations of their women.
😂

We may get to see Achane and Wright in the backfield together tonight. Lightning and Lightning…
If Achane plays. He worries me man, he has a hard time staying on the field
reports say he was practicing today
I thought I read he was a gametime decision
Non football question? Do you have yellow jackets where you live? A kind of wasp, according to Google. They are HORRIBLE here this year. They sting, and are very aggressive. Ive been stung several times this year, most recently over the weekend-on my foot, specifically between my toes-wearing flip flops as usual. Very painful. Always would see a few each year, but it’s insane this year. Curious if any other areas have them or if you have noticed an increase in population?
Apparently mild winter last year is partially to blame. It’s always something….
We have them in NJ. I don’t think they’ve been more aggressive than usual
Very common here in Connecticut. Been stung several times and I am allergic
you must have a big ol nest nearby. I think they live in the ground. I swell up big time from them. They made my left hand look like a catchers mit one time when I was a caddy up in Ct as a kid.
YES! Nasty little buggers. They sting and then sting and sting and sting again like fucking dive bombing ninjas. bapbapbapbapbap next thing you know you are shot gunning Benadryl and swelling up like a 12 round boxer. I went to install a light fixture on the patio that I had taken the ceiling fan down a few weeks ago and they built a nest in the electrical box. I stood on the step stool to pull out the wires and bambambambambam THAT fast I was on my ass with 3 stings on my lip, nose and chin and two on my right hand and one on my arm. All in a second. When I went back inside the Painter I had there doing work said “ming, ju got to go to hospital. Ming, ju look ruf. Ming, ju chud seet down……….Dahyeeeeem dude ju chud go. Look ina mirra.
Also, they are insect hunters, so maybe the explosion of the cicadas was followed by an explosion of their predator species?
Have had a ton of them. I’ve avoided parts of my yard due to them this year for the first time. It took over a week for the swelling and itching from some of the stings to go away

Does folding laundry on Thursday, that you washed and dried on Sunday, count as doing laundry on Thursday?
Asking for a friend…. 😂
Go Dolphins!!!
I am going to qualify my last answer. If said clean laundry went into a basket or pile without being folded then YES it is allowed. LOL There was a pause in the process.
I had already put the first load in hoping it would help Achane’s status.
It’s embarrassing to admit this, but it’s currently in a pile on my sofa. Unfolded.
Someone neglected to tell the twitter staff that the team failed to demote him after last weeks game.
—————–
Rock, looked it up this morning but forgot to post:
“Teams are allowed to elevate players from their practice squad to the game day roster without having to cut a member of the 53-man team. Accordingly, clubs can increase from the standard 53 to 55 players while game day active squads expand from a previous 46 to 47 players (or 48 if a team carries eight offensive linemen). Any practice squad player can be elevated and automatically reverts back to the developmental roster after a game.”
“Teams can use this method of promotion on the same player no more than three times a year.”
After the 3rd time, they have to stay on the 53 or be released.
Ahhhh, I didn’t know all that. Thanks! I was going by the official Dolphins website designation. They never changed it. All week he was shown on active roster and wasn’t listed on the PS.
Yeah, I saw that also. Made it confusing.
Karma be damned! I want to win, don’t care if it is ugly and a moderate injury to Josh Allen. Just like 3-13 weeks. Something like that.
A pigeon is perfect for “Coach Prime”
Well, if you wanna be a bully, tonight’s the game. Talk is cheap. Go prove you’re a tough team and don’t just flap your lips about it. Set a tone. No excuses. Get a win at home against your main competitor.
No Shit! You speak truth! Revenge game for last season final game where they started the 4th with a 7 point lead and lost by 7 14-0 in the 4th
TO LOSE THE DIVISION AND HOME PLAYOFF GAMES!
Well fuck. I’m not going to get to watch the game tonight. Man!!!!! Fuck the NFL! Might was well make it pay per view. I am “out side the viewing zone” by 4 blocks. This is so fucking stupid.
I was going to do the “free trial” but I can’t. It only has the option to reactivate.
Listening on the radio sucks.
I’m logged in to my wife’s friends Prime account
Anyone want to facetime and point your phone a the TV? Then I can recast it to my TV from my phone……
HA!
I don’t want to watch it at the bar! There are stupid Jet’s and Pat’s fans and maybe obnoxious Steelers fans at the bar. It’s ok if the Dolphins shut them up, but so often they DO NOT and I have to take it or leave. (before or after furniture is broken)
Inactives:
RB Raheem Mostert
WR Malik Washington
CB Ethan Bonner
LB Channing Tindall
LB Mo Kamara
Center Andrew Meyer
Tindall a healthy scratch? Yup, he wont get a bust cuz he iz one
You know, I was an obnoxious critic of double nickel Brewer but I am rewatching last week’s game and on the big run in the first quarter for like 20 yards Brewer is right there looking for someone to hit as Achane went out of bounds
20 yards down field
We have yellowjackets as well this time of year for about two weeks .. they are fading away now , we’re pretty bad last week and week before,….
Had a patio party couple weeks ago and my buddy Tim was trapping them in his cooler bottle .. I think he trapped over 10 of them.
I hate those damn things so much. Most years I get 3-4 nests of them that I discover when I either run over them with my mower, trim my greenery, or they get in my yard decor. They were in my hedges this year and ate me up before I could get the trimmer unplugged and race out of there.
t minus 1 hour 6 minutes
Achane going to have a big game
I was getting mad at Prime. I thought game was supposed to start at 7:15 ET so was thinking 6:15 my time. lol
Thanks for setting me straight Piggy.
I love these uniforms
Achane is a GO this evening!
NEW BLOG UP – No article, sorry folks, just got home from work
Game meal is steak, fried scallops, Lipton onion taters baked with bell pepper, onion and mushrooms and a side mixed green salad. Got it all ready to go. Just need to sear the steak and fry the scallops at half time.
GO PHINS!!!
HELL YEAH!!!
let’s OINKING go!
3 Major networks in Tampa did NOT even mention that THERE WAS AN NFL GAME ON TV TONIGHT!!!! jESUS IT SUCKS to be stuck in a major Florida city with such a small town attitude!!!
WE’VE BEEN HIT with a succession of heavy and very windy thunderstorms here at night for the last several days. SO-O-O, I WON”T be going to my fav sports bar about 4 miles away from my home tonight to see the Fins and Billies. Maybe if I DON’T see the game, the result will be better??? Anyway I’m sure as hell not going to PAY a special fee to watch a channel I really don’t give a shit about. Does the NFL think we’re all that stupid???
The Bills are just better, and it starts with the QB.
This is typical and embarrassing
Ugh in so many ways that is all.😔
