It’s funny, just going through the formality of typing out the title of the 2024 Season, Game 5 etc. felt like an exercise in futility. I can’t believe we’re back here again, that sad, dark place when you know your team is doomed, not only for this season, but way beyond, especially if QB Tua Tagovailoa holds this team prisoner by not retiring. I desperately wanted them to protect themselves, but oh boy, the love affair with HC Mike McDaniel and QB Tua Tagovailoa was hot and heavy, and both Mike McDaniel and Chris Grier threw caution to the wind and gave him a massive contract. How many times did I stress that it was one season, and how he played that season so carefully as not to get injured. That extra careful play just doesn’t work in the NFL, not when you play the better teams. Tua will come back, that much is certain, but what version do we get of Tua, and for how long? Even worse, what will our record be when he comes back, and will it even be fair to expect the Dolphins to pull themselves out of a 1-5 start?
There are so many decisions Chris Grier and Mike McDaniel made, and it’s so unfortunate that it appears they made the wrong ones on most counts. Let’s start with one of my favorite ones. DT Christian Wilkins, drafted in RD 1, 13th overall, and all that guy did here was bust his ass for 5 seasons, playing tons of snaps and every single the last 3 years of that contract. What do we do? Let-him-go! “Ohhh, he wanted too much money, you can’t pay him that!!!” Well, we should have said that and more when it came to everyone’s favorite QB Tua Tagovailoa who is now one hit away from maybe not even being able to make the decision on whether or not he should play. Oh, he’s coming back, probably Week 8, which coincidentally is the Fest game against Arizona. The question on everyone’s mind though is how long will he last. It will be that way for as long as he plays in the NFL, that’s just the way it is. These are the tough decisions GM’s have to make, and I’ll tell you Chris Grier keeps making the wrong choices.
Besides Christian Wilkins, we had drafted OG Robert Hunt in the 2nd RD (pick #39) in the 2020 NFL Draft. All Robert Hunt did was bust his ass for 4 seasons playing in 50 of 51 games in his first 3 seasons before last season, where he played in 11 of 17 due to injury. No, he was never an all pro, or pro bowler, but you could easily make the argument that he was our best OL during his tenure here in Miami. So what we do, Chris Grier? Give him a contract? “Ohhh, he’s asking for too much money, we can’t pay him that!!!”. Say goodbye to our best OL, and one that we drafted. It’s not like don’t have one of the top 5 offensive lines in football, so why keep one of your own who was a solid, dependable, above average player? Our LT is in has last season, and he misses so much time. While that’s good for rookie Patrick Paul, maybe we could have saved the money on Terron Armstead, and just played Paul right out of the chute. Let’s face it, Chris Grier is playing the O-line by the seat of his pants. There’s clearly no plan, with the majority of the line departing next season in FA, or retirement. LT Terron Armstead is retiring, LG Robert Jones is a FA, C Aaron Brewer is under contract through 2026, RG Liam Eichenberg is a UFA next season, and RT Austin Jackson is also signed through 2026.
Think about it like this if you will. You’re in the medieval era, you build a magnificent castle while you’re surrounded by hostile armies. You decide, you know what, the castle is made of bricks, and it looks great, we don’t need to spend a lot on moats, or heavy iron gates. You can just imagine what would happen to that castle or your QB Tua Tagovailoa when you neglect to protect them. Tua’s injury history was well known here, and what’s worse, a concussion problem in a league where this has been a long battle between former players and the NFL, and the Miami Dolphins organization doesn’t want this type of thing ruining it’s product or image. In essence, this is precisely why we put Tua on IR, while other players who were concussed as recently as last week might even play this week. It was such a risky decision to think Tua wouldn’t get hurt again, yet we pushed all our chips into the pot anyway.
Then we can discuss the backup QB situation. We had Mike White, and 3rd year 7th RD pick (pick 247), picked 15 spots before Mr. Irrelevant Brock Purdy. I know some of y’all don’t think much of Brock Purdy, but compared to Skylar Thompson, who’s been here 2 seasons and by all rights should know Mike McDaniels offense backwards and forward, he looked lost out there. Yes, it was in Seattle, where the crowd is deafening, but they practice for that, don’t they? QB Tim Boyle looked far less bothered by the noise, or not really having time to learn the offense, or read a defense due to the leaky protection. So we pick up QB Tyler Huntley from the Baltimore Ravens practice squad. It’s an awful ot to ask a QB to digest such an overly complicated offense in just 2 weeks, and of course we would think that they would simplify things, maybe eliminate the complicated motions because timing is so important for that. This is where the HC Mike McDaniel has to take some heat. It seems as if he’s designed this offense specifically for QB Tua Tagovailoa, and that’s a real problem considering he’s only played one full season, and once again I stress, did it wearing bubble wrap and oh so cautiously and carefully. That’s unacceptable, it just is.
There are more poor choices both Grier and McDaniel made. We let OLB AndrewVan Ginkel go. Never really a full time starter, but always, and I mean always an impact player. When you contrast him with our first RD pick OLB Chop Robinson, Robinson is all speed, quick get off, and basically made it through college looking quick, but not making plays. All AVG did was make plays. Big plays! We can only hope that someday Chop Robinson does what AVG did here. I understand why AVG left, he went to a coach that believed in him. Much like McDaniel believes in Tua, Flores believed in AVG. Back to Mike McDaniel for a moment. “Offensive Genius”. Next fucking time we consider hiring one of those, GO THE OTHER WAY! If he’s truly an offensive genius, he’d realize that no QB on the roster or off it can run this offense as well as Tua Tagovailoa, who this system was tailored to by a fine Italian tailor. It fits perfectly, but if you need to bring in a different QB, it takes far too much time to get everyone in sync. How he hasn’t been able to make changes and eliminate the most complex things like 3 different players in motion and then getting set with a QB who just got here 2 weeks is beyond me.
Oh yeah, we play the Patriots this weekend, and our good friend Hulk got tickets from his brother and was willing to drive to the game from his house in CT. At this point, Piggy (Who could fly to the game) and myself both backed out because the effort necessary to get that done and the expense just isn’t worth it to see this product. I admit, I thought we could be a very competitive team, i thought Mike McDaniel would work out the kinks, and we’d use new weapons like TE Jonnu Smith, and rookie RB Jaylen Wright, along with our superstars WR Tyreek Hill, WR Jaylen Waddle, 3rd WR OBJ, and promising 2nd year RB De’Von Achane. Instead, Jonnu Smith is an afterthought, OBJ may play his first game this weekend, and somehow 5’9 180 lb De’Von Achane became a workhorse RB, as starter Raheem Mostert is OUT with a chest injury. I know you know, but this offense that scored 496 points last season HAS NEVER HAD A LEAD THIS SEASON, NEVER! That includes Game 1 against Jacksonville at home, and Game 2 against Buffalo, at home, with Tua. Incomprehensible. Has the NFL really just figured out our offense now to the point where it can never again be effective? Just play 2 deep safeties and cover those WR’s and keep everything in front of you and they’re stymied!
The last 4 games of 2023 we scored 15.5 PPG, 22 against Dallas, 19 against the Ravens, 14 against the Buffalo Bills, and 7 against the Chiefs in frozen Arrowhead. This year it’s 11.3 PPG, 20 against Jacksonville, 10 against the Bills, 3 against the Seahawks and then 12 against the Titans, on MNF no less. The question now looks like what does Mike McDaniel and Chris Grier have to do to keep their jobs at the end of the season? We gave extensions to WR Tyreek Hill, WR Jaylen Waddle, QB Tua Tagovailoa, CB Jalen Ramsey, RB Raheem Mostert, and yet the one guy who gave us the chance to win our only game this season, S Jevon Holland, is without a contract. Seems like one of the guys who makes big plays, and yet there he is, on the outside looking in. Next year we have 7 picks, RD1, RD 2, RD 4, RD 5, and 2 picks in RD7. We’re expected to potentially get 2 compensatory picks, one very likely a 3rd RD pick for Christian Wilkins, and either a 3rd or 4th for Robert Hunt. We may also get a 7th RD pick for DeSon Elliott, who is having a nice season for the Pittsburgh Steelers. I DO NOT, want GM Chris Grier making these picks, and I’m somewhat convinced I don’t want MM involved either. We’re going to have to once again draft a starting QB, because Tua’s days are numbered here, his next concussion could be his last, much like I had warned about talented TE Jordan Cameron before we picked him up. Oh yeah, WTF happened with Jonnu Smith, that guy who was going to help this offense when teams took away Hill and Waddle? Well, if you haven’t noticed, they took away Hill and Waddle!!! Tyreek Hill through 4 games has 17 receptions for 217 yards, 1 TD. Jaylen Waddle has 17 receptions for 212 yards 0 TD’s, remarkably similar to Hill. That’s basically 4 catches a game for about 54 yards per game. Let’s throw more money at them!!!
So we play the Patriots this weekend and I’m not sure how many minutes I’m willing to invest in watching this product we’ve putting out there. There will be no scouting report or predictions, I’m not putting any more effort into this than the team is right now, so we’ll just wait and see if we can improve from the garbage we’ve put forward through the last 4 games. I thought last week we were due for a better game but I couldn’t have been more wrong.
Finsmob Unleashed 
Sports can be a wild ride sometimes. Just remember the Mets were 11 games under .500 at one point. 😉
LOL Tim! Too bad the NFL season isn’t 162 games 🤪
13 left is a lot of time.
Your last sentence: “I thought last week we were due for a better game but I couldn’t have been more wrong.”
I had no confidence at all in a Huntley lead offense with just one week of practice. I would of had higher hopes with Boyle. Last week, I said we will need a D or ST score to win. I’m thinking that again this week especially with Pats have 2 starting OL be put on IR this week.
You were obviously right, and I was painfully wrong. I just figured our receivers would be able to get open and do some damage, didn’t expect the clusterfuck of penalties and mistakes.
Ha! I guess Skylar is healthy enough to backup Huntley.
@AaronWilson_NFL
Dolphins released Tim Boyle
I thought Boyle was on PS. I guess he was on the 53. They released him to make a roster spot for either OBJ or Cam Smith.
I think Boyle gets resigned to the PS. Maybe.
The weird decisions this coaching staff/ FO makes with players, that we used to accept as ‘they must see something we don’t’, don’t get free passes anymore because it’s all gone to shit.
What the heck was Boyle doing on this team to begin with? Did they suddenly realize how bad he is?
They released Boyle to put OBJ on the roster
Boyle should never have been on the roster to begin with
https://www.miamidolphins.com/team/injury-report/
@OmarKelly
Jalen Ramsey seemingly has a knee injury that limited him Friday. He’s going to play, but that’s something to monitor.
@flasportsbuzz
Armstead, Fuller also are back from concussion protocol and good to go
Will it matter? Same OL blocking.
@FieldYates
Dolphins RB Raheem Mostert has been removed from the injury report and will play against the Patriots on Sunday.
Will get a look at Pats TE Jaheem Bell this weekend who I was interested in us drafting before we signed Jannu.
Great writeup MikeE
Thanks Mike! More than this team deserves!
Twice – Not sure if you’re reading or not, but for some reason IO lost the toolbar on the right side of the page that allows me to change the size of the font and the color. I can no longer do my GO Dolphins at the end in aqua
Mike E,
Great write, man! Hey, this made me chuckle…
“Besides Christian Wilkins, we had drafted OG Robert Hunt in the 2nd RD (pick #39) in the 202 NFL Draft”
Just exactly how OLD is Robert Hunt?!! LOL 😆 😉
I hope you realize I’m just bustin’ balls, nothing more! 🙂
It’s losing good players that’s old. I fixed it though, thanks! 😁
You’re welcome, and I absolutely agree with ya: losing good players is getting old to me as well.

———–
I agree, it’s weird. However, there must be some kind of trait they’re looking at/for… probably some advanced analytics.
Now, that is NOT to excuse the failures of this coaching staff/FO. To me, the ol’ eyeball test works just fine. I mean, to watch (grinding) the tape: who, what, where, when, why, and how pretty much gets the job done. Perhaps we’re getting too cute with advanced analytics in Miami? I dunno, but whatever is going on isn’t working.
Just coming on to hope the Mets continue their Cinderella run. Go Mets!
Thanks New Age! LFGM!!!
Thanks New Age!
Mike E/ Tim,
I went to Sebastian Maniscalco last night. My buddy drove, so when we got back to the car I put the game in my phone. Literally the first pitch I saw was Alonso smacking the three run homer.
You know what this means, don’t you?
You are officially the Mets good luck charm. Their post season success rests entirely upon your shoulders. Don’t screw it up.
(tone-playful: humorous)
You just blew my mind Kong, I thought it was because I wore my Mets tank under my work scrubs. WTF!
Did you wear it like that the whole game or did you change into that right before the 9th inning? If you wore it the whole game, the signs are clear. I’m sorry.
(tone: serious-irony)
😂
Ok Bri – while I’m disappointed it wasn’t me, I’m a little relieved because now I know it’s all on you! Good luck! 😂
Kong- I wore a Mets blue colored shirt under my scrubs the day of the Atlanta double header, and they won. Then I wore the Mets tank under my scrubs yesterday. I think you’re right though, it was Brian. I’m off duty from hereon in
Hmm, IDK, bro, we may have to call this shared responsibility.
(tone: humorous-mock severity)
it’s shared. I did wear my Mets hat to the show!
Bri. – If the burden proves to be too much to handle, I’d be happy to share it with you pal
I appreciate that!
Screw all y’all!! I wore my Fuck The Brewers t-shirt. That’s what did it!
Good luck today as I don’t have a Fuck The Phillies t-shirt. lol
So it was you!!! You better get to work making a “Fuck Phillies” shirt!
Good college games on today:
Missouri at Texas A&M, 11am ABC
SMU at Louisville, 11am ESPN
Iowa at Ohio State, 2:30pm CBS
Auburn at Geoorgia, 2:30pm ABC
Ole Miss at South Carolina, 2:30pm ESPN
Rutgers at Nebraska, 3pm FS1
Tennessee at Arkansas, 6:30pm ABC
Michigan at Washington, 6:30pm NBC
Miami at Cal, 9pm ESPN
I will probably watch Iowa/Ohio State, work permitting. There are quite a few players to keep an eye on for the draft.
Iowa – ILB Jay Higgins, S Xavier Nwankpa, S Sebastian Castro, TE Luke Lachey
Ohio State – QB Will Howard (day3 pick), OT Josh Simmons, LG Donovan Jackson, DT Ty Hamilton, DT Tyliek Williams, ILB Cody Simon, WLB Sonny Styles, LCB Denzel Burke, NB Jordan Hancock, SS Lathan Ransom
I used PFN’s simulator. They have our comp picks added in but don’t have the updated order in yet. This order is prior to last weekend’s games.
11. Mason Graham DT Michigan
43. Jaxson Dart QB Ole Miss
98. Danny Stutsman LB Oklahoma
99. Kevin Winston Jr. S Penn State
112. Luke Kandra OG Cincinnati
144. Mason Taylor TE LSU
149. Joshua Gray OG Oregon State
226. Squirrel White WR Tennessee
227. DeMonte Capeheart DT Clemson
250. Will Howard QB Ohio State
I like this one, though I missed on TE Tyler Warren. He went at # 45 and I needed the QB more.
BBM,
So, you want a Duck and a Squirrel on this team? Somehow that seems to make perfect sense on this zoo of a team.
You got it! Squirrel is another MM type WR, small and 4.35 forty.
There are some really solid OG’s in the 3rd and 4th rounds. Kandra is a lunch pail stud and could start as a rookie. They may climb draft boards though as we get closer since this is a weak OL class overall.
Kandra can play all 3 IOL positions
I always like QB Will Howard. Good accuracy/ball placement. Big kid, 6’4 235 and mobile and good pocket presence.
I don’t know why and find it hard he lasts to the 7th round, but he is down there on all draft boards.
I think he would be a day 3 draft steal.
Thanks for the write up Mike E! Solid as usual.
I’m going to record the game so I can just fast forward it. I’m not dedicating time I have to watch it cause “the game is on!” The excitement and anticipation for game day has left the building. Maybe it’ll come back one day.
Brian, a couple of years ago, when I picked Sebastian, FL as the city i wanted to retire to, I searched for Sebastian on YouTube and Sebastian Sebastian Maniscalco pops up, so I watched a few of his shows, never heard of him previously
He’s pretty funny and surely entertaining, but what a weird dude, all 5′ 2″ inches of him😜
I’ve hated the Mets, since the day they acquired Mike Piazza, in the late 60s early 70s they were actually my favorite team for a short while
Go Mets beat Phillies!
Oh, I have hated the Mets since Lenny Dykstra and that crew. lol
LGM!!
BTW, if you watch the Iowa/Ohio State game, keep an eye on OSU’s true freshman WR Jeremiah Smith, cousin of Geno Smith.
He’s going to be the best WR to come out of OSU in the last decade. Better than Marvin Harrison Jr. or Garrett Wilson.
He’s 6’3 215 and fast. Won the gold medal in state of FL in the 110m and 400m hurdles. Great hands and route runner already.
May likely be #1 overall when he is draft eligible
^
This was an awesome moment in sports history. My uncle, who always took me to Cubs games, was about 5 rows up from the guy who poured the beer.
Had to do one using draftbuzz simulator. Traded no players but trade down twice from #2 then again later on.
PICK: 9 RND: 1 Malaki Starks S Georgia

Looks like a lot of picks but it is only 5 more than the 10 we already have.
@schadjoe
Dolphins downgrade CB Cam Smith to OUT for tomorrow’s game. WR Odell Beckham Jr.’s designation of QUESTIONABLE has been removed.
@OmarKelly
The Dolphins re-signed Tim Boyle to the practice squad and he was elevated and will serve as the No. 2 QB. Miami also called up Nik Needham for his first game as a practice squad elevation. Needham is a backup safety and nickel.
@TomPelissero
The Patriots are activating WR Kendrick Bourne from the PUP list and he’ll make his season debut Sunday against the Dolphins, per source.
@AdamSchefter
Patriots downgraded safety Jabrill Peppers to out for Sunday’s game against the Dolphins.
LFGM!!!
This is BS!
@TomPelissero
Insult to injury: The NFL fined Dolphins pass rusher Jaelan Phillips $16,883 for a low hit Monday night on Titans QB Will Levis.
Phillips suffered a season-ending knee injury in the game.
Dolphins North:
@Vikings
The Vikings have elevated RB Myles Gaskin and S Bobby McCain to the active roster for tomorrow’s game.
—–
To go along with AVG, Trent Sherfield and Kamu Grugier-Hill.
Almost like we could have been a good team
Go Vanderbilt!!!
IU stays on top of the Big Ten at 6-0 and 3-0 in conference. Another good day from IU QB Kurtis Rourke 25-33 for 380, 3 TD, 0 INT.
IU’s offense is averaging 47.5 points a game.
Game 1 almost in the bag!
Congrats!!
Herd, congratulations also!
Boom! 💥 LFGM!!
^
VANDERBILT!!!!!!!!!!!!!
forgot about this game until seeing your post
Just figured Bama would come back like they always do
RB Ashton Jeanty is just sick running the football.
How does a RB with that kind of talent from Jacksonville, FL end up playing football at Boise State?
shitty competition in that league
Well, he had 25 carries for 192 yards and 3 TD’s against #7 Oregon.
Last week, against then 4-0 Washington State, he had 26 carries for 259 yards and 4 TD’s.
CONGRATS, VANDERBILT!!!
Super happy for Vandy and I’ll just say it. Saban wouldn’t have lost to Vandy.
I just realized/noticed the Dolphins’ Offense has scored 45 points in 4 games.
…that’s offensive!!! Lol.
Please stop blaming the defense…lol
the D has been playing better than the offense, but by no means have they been playing well. The D is giving up 26 ppg. The offense has just been atrocious.
Fair enough, but if you keep giving the opposing O more opportunities, what do expect?
Agreed. By no means to mind giving the defense a pass, they’ve played well in spurts, but they’ve just given up way too many big plays, and I’ve not help the offense out in many instances. Don’t get me wrong, the offense is definitely to blame.
LGM!!!
lol
At least ST…, oh wait, they suck also
😂
give them a break. I think Berrios has returned two punts already this year!
Lots of fun upsets in college ball. Glad the Canes weren’t one of them, but they can’t keep playing comeback ball. Lots of big plays against them yesterday but fun day of football.
Guess I owe you a beer. lol
🙂
Good day of football yesterday, 7 ranked teams go down with 3 of them in the top 10.
I turned it off when UM was down 35-18 going into the 4th quarter. I get to work this morning and see they won 39-38. Wish I would have stayed up to see the comeback.
that’s crazy- I don’t realize they came back
didn’t
exactly Krishna! I’ll watch the Dolphins game today, but I’m focused on the Mets
I forgot there is a game in this morning
And there goes AVG with yet another huge play. Pick 6 TD!
😢
Another pick six for AVG
forget Wilkins and Hunt- we were never going to re sign them at that type of money. AVG was the biggest loss of the offseason.
^^
Chris Grier has made a lot of really bad decisions. His non stick surface will eventually wear out. This could be the year
Rodgers is already done with this game. His demeanor sucks.
Pouty ass lil bitch 😎
Can Tua EVER run the play Darnold just did, QB dive for the 1st down? The answer is YES, but just once, and then he’s OUT for the season
Even though Iowa got blown out in the second half, the 3 defensive players I like played well. ILB Jay Higgins had 14 total tackles a sack, FF and FR. S Castro had 6 tackles and an INT.
OSU QB Will Howard was accurate as usual despite the INT. Threw 4 TD’s and ran for another. Didn’t get to pay attention to the OSU OL since I was working, but OSU did have over 200 yards rushing.
Mike E,
when we don’t make the playoffs for yet another year, I just can’t see how he make it through. The fan base will revolt.
We’ll see. Ross has given him a lot of rope. If we finish below .500, not sure how he survives that
if we can’t pull out a few games before Tua comes back, I can’t see how we finish above .500
you gotta take the FG there if you are Minnesota
Flag fests are continuing by the looks of this game
Boise State RB Ashton Jeanty is putting up huge numbers. He’s 5’9, 215 pounds and runs a 4.41. In just 5 games he has 1031 yards rushing with 16 TD’s. That’s an average of over 200 yards and 3 TD’s a game with an average of 10.9 a carry.
Again, you can’t say it’s competition as he had 192 and 3 TD’s vs #6 Oregon who will probably be top 5 when the new rankings come out. He also had 259 and 4 TD’s vs a good Washington State team.
Yesterday, he had 186 and 3 Td’s in the first half and didn’t play the second half.
Did I mention IU yesterday? 🙂
The yets look horrible.
would be great news, if we didn’t look worse
^
Their defense is still decent
“Travis Kelce’s career is over”: Travis Kelce’s time in Kansas City may be numbered as the Chiefs decided to re-sign one of their familiar faces
Kansas City Chiefs have signed tight end Jody Fortson off their practice squad.
Chiefs are now a lock to 3-peat🤣
Sauce Gardner heading to locker room 😃
Rogers down 😃
The NFL doing every thing they can to keep this game competitive. Happy fans in the UK…Chaching.
Just curious, how many of you are going to watch the Dolphins game from start to finish?
Lol…I’m trying to figure out if I’ll start.
Lol…it’s about to and I’m clueless…
I know y’all are watching the game but Kurtis Rourke has superb accuracy and ball placement. I’m not just being a homer. lol
Bri – before Tua comes back, after Tua comes back too, for however long that is. Tua is not going to.come back and be excellent. He may be better than anyone else we throw out there, but to expect him to just play like he did last season in his prime is silly.
Why?
Lots of reasons. He’s going to be bubble boy again, his timing won’t be there after missing 6 weeks, and the team could have checked out if we’re 1-5 when he gets back. Plus, he didn’t look good this season anyway
There is no medical reason why he cannot play at the same level. I can’t speak as to the team
MikeE,
We play today?
I don’t know. Rock hasn’t said so.
Vikings needed a TD that last drive.
Vikings not being able to run the ball well has hurt them.
Feeling like this game is scripted
Not watching. Just keeping track on scores
Randy – not sure I’d call it playing exactly, but our team will be on the field whether they want to or not
If they were going to throw a flag on that play it would have been on Williams
Why is our game on Fox? CBS used to do AFC games and Fox carried NFC games. Did that change this season?
This oline is so awesome
We have a lead
Ken – there is a huge medical reason why he won’t be the same. He’s going to everything he can to not get hit. That doesn’t lend itself to winning football
He did that last season too.
Right, and bubble boy couldn’t win a big game, or even play decent if he tried. Go check me if you need to
That is not why we couldn’t win the big game. Our team was a walking mash unit at the end of the season
We have the lead in a game!!!
First lead of the season. Was moving the ball well until the oline gave up a sack so quickly the ball hadn’t even been snapped yet.
2 🍻 🤣
You’re going to be drunk before the end of the 1st. Probably a good thing
😃
lol
Glad Vikes held on
Which QB can survive in this game
Mike E .. I will be watching to the end. Even if they bore me to sleep 🫠
Hill lucks out there. He needs to run the out route past the 1st down marker.
so bad
That was a very nice play by NE
This offense is just useless without Tua.
Huntley is telegraphing all of his passes
^^ Staring down his #1 target terribly
Huntley shows us again why Boyle should be out there. Not him
How bad are when we are calling for Boyle
lol, we are so lame
who the heck is 26, that was lame
Maye
Ahh, the safety we brought in to replace a guy we should have kept
you just hit the daily double
great defense yet again , Kohou misses the rackle
on third down, d folds in the next play . Wash, rinse , repeat
Back to trailing
I have to go put on an alcohol monitor in the next county over. I’m glad I will probably miss the rest of the game.
can I come?
Not sure we can overcome this deficit
And now Achane is hurt. of course
It was only a matter of time.
#26 is Safety Marcus Maye
there goes Achanes shoulder
Concussion
