It’s Week 2 in the NFL, so it’s far too early to be a turning point of the season. On the other hand, the Miami Dolphins need a really solid effort this weekend at home against The New England Patriots. The Patriots are 0-1 coming off of a loss at home to the Las Vegas Raiders. A lot of experts felt the New England Patriots had a really good offseason and made a lot of improvements to the roster, in adition to adding a new Head Coach in former Patriots Linebacker Mike Vrabel. There is hope that their QB will take step up in his 2nd season with the Patriots. They drafted one of the best OT’s available in the ’25 Draft in LT Will Campbell. They added in RD 2 an athletic RB in TreVeyon Henderson to the more physical running style of Rhamondre Stevenson. The Patriots, like the Dolphins are 0-1, but the Patriots were in the game the entire game while the Miami Dolphins just got embarrassed all game long.
Unless this game ends in a tie, one of these 2 teams is going to be 0-2. The Patriots have a new Head Coach with a young QB while the Dolphins are in year 4 with HC Mike McDaniel and year 6 with QB Tua Tagovailoa. There is no question as to which team needs the “W” more than the other, but I’d simplify it by saying the Dolphins need to resemble a legitimate NFL team this Sunday, win or lose. They can’t have an effort that in any way looks like what they put out last week against the Indianapolis Colts where they got blown out 33-8 and even the score doesn’t accurately represent the carnage. This organization has been talking about their new culture for months now and some fans ate it up like crack. If what they did last week is the “new” culture, that culture won’t be around much longer, and I’ll be quite thankful for that!
Unfortunately for the Dolphins, the injuries never cease here. Yes, every team goes through injuries in the NFL but the Dolphins lost their starting RG after a play or two. RG James Daniels who I had doubts about due to coming off an achilles injury in 2024 is OUT, and not because of his achilles, but a pectoral injury. In addition, right next to him, RT Austin Jackson will also be OUT this Sunday. So 2 plays is all we get from our new and improved O-line. OL Kion Smith will replace RG James Daniels and OT Larry Borom will replace RT Austin Jackson. Obviously, that’s not ideal, and Mike Vrabel is from the Belichick Coaching Tree and that means defense is a priority, and physical play is what they’re all about. Our guys will no doubt be tested. After all, this Dolphins team told us they’re not soft despite fromer players insinuating just that. I’d like to see this team be the more physical team on Sunday and smack the Patriots down.
The team held a players own meeting after the poor showing Week 1. What exactly that means is unclear, but it’s Week 2 and you’re excluding the HC from a meeting? Not necessarily a good look from any perspective. What have y’all been doing up until this point? QB Tua Tagovailoa has been ornery answering questions and seems angry with some of the reporters questions. Answer those questions on the field young man, stop whining, bitching about what reporters said after you shit the bed on opening day! You don’t appreciate the negativity, play as well as your undying supporters think you’re capable of, like some Top 5 God of a QB! It will undoubtedly make the post game interviews much more palatable.
You want some good news? The Dolphins have owned the Patriots defeating them twice last season, 15-10 in Week 5 and then an ass whooping Week 12 34-15. In 2023 it was the same, we defeated the Patriots 24-17 in Week 2, and then 31-17 in Week 8. Despite all the offseason hype for New England, history is in our favor, and add in we’ll be wearing all white which means the Patriots will be wearing their dark navy jerseys in the Florida heat. Hopefully it’s a scorcher. It’s supposed to be 88 degrees and very humid but there’s a threat of rain in the afternoon (No way, not in Miami!). I don’t need the Dolphins to wipe the field with the Patriots and honestly I don’t need them to win, but they have to look significantly better than they did last week and look like a professional team that has real ideas about being contenders for a playoff spot.
Besides the 2 injuries on the O-line, there’s more injury news as well, some good, some bad. RB Jaylen Wright is trending in the right direction to be active. NT Benito Jones however is the opposite, and he may be OUT and replaced by rookie DT Zeek Biggers. I swear from this point on I’m not discussing the TE that shall not be discussed until he actually suits up and plays. I’ve wasted not nearly as much time and resources and draft picks as the Miami Dolphins have, but his time is done with me until he plays. WR Jaylen Waddle is QUESTIONABLE. CB Storm Duck has not practiced so it’s looking as if he’ll be OUT. As I mentioned earlier, RT Austin Jackson is in the same boat as Storm Duck and Benito Jones. Every NFL team gets hit with injuries but our team just gets obliterated by them.
Last week we ran the ball 9 times with our RB’s 7 rushes for Achane and only 2 for the rookie ollie Gordon who’s supposed to bring the physicality to the offense. I’d love to see Ollie Gordon get a bunch of carries although it’s difficult to steal carries from RB De’Von Achane, and if RB Jaylen Wright is active, gosh, how do you split up the 3-4 carries between them? I know that Achane’s herculean effort on that 4th down swing pass last week is the only reason we cored an actual TD last week. Mike McDaniel calls a swing pass on 4th and 11, and Achane avoids and eludes at least 3-4 would be tacklers immediately and scores. That’s a shit call, sorry! It’s amazing that he scored but it’s embarrassing that it’s what he called. I hope today we have a more run heavy game plan, take a little pressure off of #1 who is unraveling already due to the scrutiny of being a franchise QB that doesn’t play like one.
Lets see the defense, the front 7 that is allegedly the stregth of this team show up! We brought in veteran LB/DE Matt Judon in to join Bradley Chubb, Jaelan Phillips and Chop Robinson. The Colts had possession of the football for over 38 minutes. Not good! Of course Tua gifting the Colts defense 3 times didn’t help the situation, but our defense needs to make an impact too! Bradley Chubb got one sack and that was it for this defense. No forced fumbles or INT’s or anything really. We were jacked on both sides of the ball, and Danny Jones looked fantastic, a 115.1 rating, need I say more? Our Top 5 QB needs to rehabilitate his usual high rating which now stands at 51.7. Oh, forgot to mention Jaylen Waddle is injured with a shoulder injury. Did that happen watching the Colts go up and down the field all day on us? Rubbernecking injury perhaps? Jaylen Waddle did catch 4 passes for 30 yards, maybe 30 realy tough on the shoulder yards. Hopefully he’s better this week. I’m loving the new culture by the ways, but these boo boos we keep getting are just so nasty and unfortunate!
GO DOLPHINS!!!

#Dolphins TE Darren Waller, once again, has been ruled out with a hip injury. WR Jaylen Waddle is questionable with a shoulder injury.
MUCH WORSE
They are giving up a score on EVERY DRIVE. (Except two kneel downs)
Yep…see below…lol
I just realized the defense is giving up 33 points per game….lol.
M13,
I’d be shocked if we win tomorrow night, but…just like last week….one game doesn’t mean anything. Crazy stuff happens in divisional games all the time.
I just want to see us compete. If we do that, I’d be okay with whatever happens.
Same here, Brother.
Check out the Breer video I just linked to below… seems the players may have already checked out on Coach McD, IF true.
Take it with a grain of salt when it comes to Albert Breer, IMO. I don’t believe half of what he states, but this is interesting when it comes to the player’s only meeting.

I listened/watched his presser this morning saying this. I was like, no shit sherlock…lol

Tua Tagovailoa’s Josh Allen comment exposes a truth Dolphins fans can’t ignore
By Brian Miller|7 hours ago
Patriots @ Dolphins – NFL Game Recap for September 14, 2025
There is being honest, and then there is being too honest. On Tuesday, Tua Tagovailoa got a lesson in the latter, and Miami Dolphins fans are realizing their expectations might be a bit too high.
Dolphins fans continue to defend Tagovailoa and still believe he has yet to reach his best, but there is a downside to his accuracy and quick throws. On Tuesday, Tagovailoa admitted that Josh Allen is elite, and he can’t do what Allen does.
“He’s top tier… If it’s not with his arm, it’s with his legs. Definitely a different skill set from me. I can’t do half of what he does when it comes to running the ball, and then how he can just chuck a ball down the field.”
Miami Dolphins QB Tua Tagovailoa admittedly declares what his detractors have been saying for six years
There is nothing derogatory about what Tagovailoa said; he has limitations, and his past injury history has changed the way he plays football. The Dolphins quarterback can’t run with reckless abandon like his division rival. His hips can’t take the abuse, and one more concussion could put his career in serious jeopardy.
What is a problem, however, is that Miami fans are starting to see the limits of his game, and he can’t fix those problems. [Duh]

It’s sickening! And that doesn’t bode well for Anthony Weaver becoming our next HC.
I’ll be very surprised if we keep this game within 14 points.
I’d say within 21 points, Bills winning.
If I was to predict, I was going to say 31-10. With Buffalo coasting in the 2nd half, after a 24-3 lead at halftime.
I could be wrong, but I think the fix is in and we’re either going to win it or keep it close. We don’t belong on the same field with this team and if it’s not fixed, I’d say 41-3
That’s where I’m at too, Mike E. Fix could be in.
Remember! Tennis and Formula 1 racing will be here soon!
We will take a hard look at where we have fallen short and make the necessary changes if need be.
FIRE GRIER NOW
Did he not send out something similar last year , minus the tennis and GP 🤔
If we beat the Bills in Buffalo we will all know we’re truly in the Twilight Zone 🤪
…or a major glitch in the matrix. LOL

not having Calais Campbell is hurting the D early on. Grant has been nearly invisible.
we replaced him with Grant, who hasn’t done anything yet
when you drastically go young, these things happen
LOL @ Toba! That prediction is not sanctioned by FMU. Bet with your head, not over it
Mine ? Or yours ?? 🧐

I feel like I’ve been complaining about the timing of the snap of the ball for a couple of years
I think we all have
it got so bad in the 4th, I watched the play clock every play, as MM took his time going over the play sheet, then 8 seconds calling the play, then Tua calling rge play another 8 seconds, then everyone breaking the huddle with no urgency, then Tua spending 5 seconds looking over the D (sometimes waiting for D to lineup), rinse repeat all 4th qtr
Playing in a fall 60+ softball league, my team is the bisons, they spared us
a guy who plays in the league has a daughter, that’s married to Csonka’s son
He says, if I want something autographed he’ll get it done
If I recall, Christian Wilkins wasn’t invisible as a rookie
Not every rook is created equally. Some are instant-ready, some need some seasoning.
Don’t give Grier too much credit for drafting Christian Wilkins!
What’s more, there’s a reason nobody is touching Christian Wilkins as a FA right now.
no, but his 1 sack wasn’t exactly getting it done, and his run D came on as the season did, Grant hasn’t been afforded that
M – the only reason no one is touching Wilkins is because of his injury. Who knows what things would have been if he re-signed here. You can give Grier credit for drafting also have to smack him down for not keeping him here
Wilkins was also doing weird locker room shit that a lot of Raiders players talked about in the offseason.
This is a serious question that I sometimes wonder about:
Does anyone truly think they will see the Dolphins win a Super Bowl in their lifetime? I’m hopeful they will, but some years I seriously doubt it. We seem so far away at times.
Saw them win 2…lol
