I like Peter King, but he is experimenting with some new drugs if he thinks Davis and Smith are PB worthy.
When you were winning championships, you had a championship defense. You haven't in a while, thus, you haven't won a championship in a while.
I think you've confused us with the Bills. I mean, how can a Patriots fan forget about 2008?!?!
I think the field conditions had a lot to do w/ the play extending as far as it did. Guys can't adjust as fast, nor make a play as quickly. The...

This is me as well. It's sickening, isn't it!
Bottom Line, until Brady either retires, or turns 50, the Pats are always a threat.
Frankly, I'd love to see Ireland gone, and replaced. It's obvious he has a huge blind spot in rounds 2-4, and that's simply not acceptable. I...

I heard ya, it was awesome! Dolphins are a national team, no doubt. Even still, after all these mediocre years!! Love it!
This can't be understated. Tannehill has the potential to be a beast of a QB, and a nightmare for opposing defenses. However, he does need more...

OK, so it wasn't blowing up at Sherman. Alright, what effect will this have on team tomorrow night, that's what I want to know.
Love how he's reporting it on TV to boost the ratings LOL. Yes, we may be in trouble. Need to see how this team responds tomorrow.
Very true about the locker room. Yeah, I suppose he could be really sick, but why not say, "sick - flu," or whatever rather than "undisclosed?"...

Right, if we go 3-3, we can then, potentially finish 13-3. However, the likelihood of that is beyond remote. This game says a lot about our...
Exactly. If we haven't fixed our issues over the past two weeks enough to win this game, then I won't feel very confident about our ability to win...
While I think the Bills are underrated, and we certainly have one big flaw that plays into one of the Bills strengths, this game is a litmus test...
Agree on the optimism for the future - it's undeniable. Just still upset that we lost a winnable game. Can't wait for two weeks!
You may be on to something here. Still, I think we can cobble this together somehow to get a playoff spot if we can get out of our own way.
I'm too lazy to go back and look, and I had to watch the game on DVR delay today. What did everyone think of those "PI" calls that literally was...
That was a sick play, and it's too bad it didn't lead to a win. He's still young and needs to learn how to manage being in the pocket a bit, but...
I've seen enough. He shows enough poise, and can still produce fairly well w/ swiss cheese in front of him. Give him more time to throw, and more...
Biggest positive is Tannehill. If he can play this well w/ no running game and record-breaking-pace bad protection, I'd love to see what he could...

The overall point was - somewhere - that perhaps he has a lot more time than we think at times. Meaning, sure, he's been sacked 18 times, and that...
I get that, I actually really appreciate your breakdown of these things. I consider myself a football knowledge guy, but I have a weakness on some...

For me, I have to look at where we are compared to where I thought we'd be at this point before the season. I was hoping and praying to be at...
Couple things here. One, for Tim Ryan - until recently, he was part of what I consider the best NFL show on radio, teamed up with Pat Kirwan on...
I think to actually answer your question, the only way I would feel remotely good w/ a loss is if the team was obviously fighting hard, nobody got...
I honestly think we'll end up winning a shoot-out in this one. I can only presume Sherman will dial up a game plan that calls plays that will...
I just love how Sims is like, "That's alright, I got one hand still, I got this!" It was just so easy - way too easy, even though, in reality,...
As a high school ref, I can tell you that does happen. However, in the NFL, they should know better and still call it. It was really bad too -...
Nothing short of victory. I know it will be tough, but I think we have a good team with a quickly ascending QB who is not afraid of the big stage....

#BringJakeHome
Who is this "Jake Long" you speak of?
Yes I did - I just froze when I first saw it, certain that he just inadvertently fumbled away the game. Then, saw the replay and exhaled.
As much as I'd be relatively happy with any playoff spot this season - even backing into the sixth seed, for instance - this 3-0 impressive start...
Hopefully Jordan is full strength at this point. I see him brewing there, seemingly ready to break out when he's in the game. I think if he plays...
I THINK it goes on a rotating basis. If you remember, the last time we played the Panthers in '09, it was in Carolina, and the Saints game was in...
Yeah, that was crazy, but - also - remember, our starting QB got hurt mid-year and the turd of Ray Lucas filled in for him. Granted, Fiedler was...
Oh, and I gotta say I'm a little pissed at my little brother about this game. You see, we had all off-season planned to go down to Miami for a...
Thanks for the scouting report - seems to make overall sense. I will say this - I think we have one thing on our side going into this game that...
Gotta say, I'm OK with this. I think he's earned the extra season by any objective measure. He's not the demon many make him out to be, and I...

That's absurd! I mean someone actually wrote that headline. They thought about it and typed Henne. Perhaps on purpose? Jet fan intern wrote it?

We get that, it's just all of a sudden he is listed as 50-50 when there was no sign of this up until today. Wonder what happened!
Lost in this discussion over whether Philbin is "Hot or Not," do we really have to worry about Wallace now????
This couldn't be more true. That's why I'd love to see Ross build a new stadium outright, however that could get done. Build it as OB2! The Orange...

Awesome pics. I think you were higher up than I was in Cleveland last week.
That's exactly what they are saying!
Absolutely, went out and took this game! Coulda made it easier on ourselves, but I will take it.
2010 was the last time we were 2-0 (Bills, Vikings). Then, we decided to go 1-7 at home for the season and that was that.
Shocking I tell you!

The thing I'm curious about is, will it simply be a penalty because they lower their head, or do they - specifically as the rule would seem to...
Absolutely! What we need this year is a draft heavy on the skill w/ a meat and potato here/there sprinkled in. And I think that's what we'll get.
Really not a bad draft for meat and potatoes guys. And Jones is just getting started. And Odrick still has some upside as well, especially if his...

Yup, and you can't teach that!
This is an awesome signing. Now what's up w/ Burnett and Dansby!
Yes!!! (golf clap)
If Minny really is in on this, don't forget the impact of Fla's no state tax. At this rate of pay, it can make a huge difference.
Agreed, and that's why I won't celebrate this until it actually happens!
I remember thinking there was hope for A.J. Feeley after that game. Beyond that, was as awesome as it was unexpected that night!

Not saying we have to, but if it happens that Ireland pulls the trigger on him at 12, mark me down as someone who won't be upset!

Pretty good sized rack, though!
After reading some of the personal stories here dealing with autism, I give you guys all the credit in the world for just getting by, trying to...
Past: Marino (ZT a close second) Current: Tannehill
I was six months old the last time we WON one. I at least remember the misery of '82 and '84.
Should be epic!
Uggh, God I hope not. You're right, he's not Marino healthwise at this point in his career, but you do have to figure father time will catch up at...
Quite frankly, I'm REALLY looking forward to the post-Brady era, which I think will be paired w/ the post-Belichick era. I can't see why BB would...
Awesome. Can all the Pats players drop out for next season too? Would make things much easier.
Fair point. You can only imagine, though, what the Dolphins attendance would be with a Bills-like drought. Imagine no 2008 for us, nor even 2000...
Thing is it hasn't really dropped off all that much the past few years, and the team has been dismal throughout most of them. They still draw...
And thinking back to the Orange Bowl (one of two places I'm visiting when I get my time machine, the other being Ebbets Field), wasn't half the...
You're not crazy! You would think it would be obvious what a good, noisy, "fun" stadium would mean to fans, and - related - the team, but maybe...
It's not everything by any means. But I think it can make a difference at times, and certainly impact the results in 1-2 games a year. The crowd -...
Seahawks at Home in '12: 8-0 Seahawks on Road in '12: 3-5 This more than anything proves your point.
Sorta related to this when you think about attracting Superbowls .... do you realize the Falcons are just about approved to get a new stadium??...
Ross may not be the best tactical owner when dealing w/ the football side of things, though I think there is evidence that he is learning after...
This has me both excited and very concerned.
No kidding, I did not know that. I did notice that it looked a little brighter than our regular MNF/SNF games.
How will the upper deck seats be closer? Didn't see that as part of the plan, but if that's the case, great.
Is it me, or does the canopy itself seem expensive. I seem to remember from the last time they tried this, they said it was a special glass that...
Better lighting I guess as well, though while I hear this all the time, the lighting looked fine on TV for Bama-ND so not sure. But apparently...
Clearly us engineering mortals will need more explaining at some point. I imagine they'll provide it when/if it gets approved.
I think it's about as good as can be done, though, w/ the existing facility. Moving fans closer, and the canopy will naturally make it louder to...
Interesting.
One thing I like also is the blue/grayish seats. Or whatever that is. Now, hopefully, the games will sell out, it'll be a fun place to be and -...
Just googled the FAU stadium. Looks like a mini-blue Orange bowl. Only 30K, though, I wonder if they could put some temporary seats in the corners...
So this looks like more than can be done from February to July. Where could the Dolphins even realistically play elsewhere in FL for one season?...
Was thinking same thing about the Palm trees. That was always awesome seeing those on TV for the OB. I would think it would be deafening w/...
If any of you are worried about upped hotel taxes hurting tourism, let me say this. As a native Upstate NYer, who freezes his arse off every...
Yes, it's been a while, but we Dolfans have long memories. Nice to see bad things happen to bad people!
I'm 5'8", 39-years-old, and very slow. I can sure nail an extra point though!
Jets: -$19.4M
Do we want Te'o, though? After last night, I have serious concerns with him as a first rounder. I know he'll still go in one, but SEC football is...
Yeah, it's not bad, I just want to see it go through another round of edits, that's all. And, apparently, it has.
Yes, very impressed by Milliner as well, not just on the Eifert plays. My only concern is - while he made the plays - a couple times, WRs got a...
After watching higlights, and last night, I like how GD versatile the guy is. I mean, one one play, he's lined up in the traditional TE spot,...
Gotta admit, Ross calmed my fears a bit yesterday. After looking at the leaked logo about 1,000 times, by itself, on helmets, etc., it's started...
I'd keep Dansby for 2013, but if they draft a capable replacement, or a cheaper - decent - option becomes available in UFA, then I would not be...
You read my mind!
Good points, I forgot this. I think Rodgers - like most rooks - would've struggled early, whenever he played, but his talent would've shown...
Right! I could live with 14-16 INTs, if we pair that w/ 28-plus TDs.
I love Tannehill. All weekend I kept thinking how great he will very likely be w/ some more weapons next year, and a full offseason to work on his...
If I remember correctly, it was all about Alex Smith or Aaron Rodgers up to the draft, and for whatever reason, Smith kept rising, and Rodgers...
I'm curious, has your dad seen enough from the new regime to renew again, or will it take more? I would think your dad would be a nice case study...
We could use another pass rusher, our O-line could be tweaked to be better, and our CBs need an overall upgrade ...... but the most immediate...
The thing now is to try and plug the holes we have that kept us from having a successful season this year, and will help us have successful...
Yes, we have to have some perspective. Did anyone really expect more than 7 wins? You'd be hard pressed to find anyone. By that measure, there...
Right, the theme should be it's never a success if you don't at least make the playoffs. And judging by that, no, it's not. But might it prove to...
Or the Binns drop ..... (the first one)
Coming down for a game next year - will depend on how the dates break down. That'll be at least three less empty seats w/ me, my bro and dad!...
The problem I have w/ this supposed new logo is not the new logo itself ... it's that I LOVE our current logo, and see no need for a change. It's...
Tannehill: "Chad Henne is a joke .... a mother-bleepin' joke ....."
Yeah, it really puts Tannehill's struggles in perspective a little bit. And you're right, we will benefit for it - greatly IMHO!
Wow, really? That's not good. Don't get me wrong, Luck has been a baller, but not all is necessarily as good as it seems.
While it's highly unlikely all that will happen for us to get in, it is fun that we still are there with a chance. Crap happens and you never know!
Hey, while we make a big deal about Tannehill only having 10 TDs, let's take some comfort in the fact he only has 12 INTs .... as a rookie! And...
Martin played well overall, especially for a rookie at LT. That said, I still think we should sign Long, and have too book-end tackles, w/ Martin...
Not in last three games! I think he had one vs. Seattle.
Honestly, there are times other stadiums are as empty as Sun Life sometimes (the Jets had an empty stadium earlier this year, forget who it was...
Even though it would've meant the 2002 and 2003 Dolphins would've been playoff teams, I'm completely against this. I love the way it is now - the...
Mayock is so spot on here. It will become abundantly clear next year when we (darn sure better) have more talent on the offense. To say THill is...
Two weeks ago, that same QB was absolute $$$ in the fourth quarter against a very good defense, leading to victory. He did what it took to make...
While I tend to defend RT probably more than is necessary (comes from being an ultra optimist I guess), I do want to see him have some nice...
One thing I have seen from RT the past couple weeks that could be considered true development is his movement in the pocket to either buy more...
Guy's Tannehill has the talent. He doesn't get scared or overwhelmed in the face of a mad rush, like today. He held his own, w/ limited weaponry....
With all due respect, the Bucs's D is NOT the 49er's D, not even close. Not even in the same category. Let's see how our boy looks next week...
You know guys, there is a chance this team goes 8-8, which - looking back to last summer - would be very welcome when you think about it. I think...
Here's the thing that bothers me. Last week, at this time, we all were thrilled w/ Ryan after his fourth-quarter performance vs. Seattle. Today,...
I don't hate it if that's what it ended up being.
Clearly, mentally, he was long gone by 2011. Seems to be thriving now that he's had time to re-set. Still, we've seen solid stretches from Henne...
Is it me, or does he seem to be enjoying touchdowns (celebrating) a lot more as a Jaguar, than he was a Dolphin. Seems much less robot-like now.
Interesting. Still wouldn't be shocked if it was tomfoolery.
Question: How the heck does this happen? It just had to be on purpose by a disgruntled grounds crew worker or something. I mean, if it was a...
Today solidified my opinion that - in future years - will will reap the benefit of Tannehill starting and growing this year. Get the growing pains...
Dude, I've been plenty patient w/ Ireland. I'm sorry, I just don't see the true star power over the past five years, and not really sure any of...
Only thing I'd like to see more of is Tannehill rolling out. Seemed to be his strong point early in the year. Only thing I can think of is, his...
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oPI5A88tICU https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oPI5A88tICU
At this rate, there will be 12 people in the stands. Or at least 12 men, and maybe five or six ladies. Looking forward to this game, though....
Question is, did they pay Marino and Griese to say they "nailed it" w/ the new logo, or did they say it honestly. Let's hope the latter.
Yes, definitely best version of Aqua I had ever seen, agreed.
Love the aqua jerseys, always have, and wish we wore them more.
Didn't really notice it in '97 til a few games in. This is before I really started reading Dolphin news on the Internet, and before I joined...
Was busy doing Honey-Do stuff all afternoon w/ no Dolphin game, and came in to see Henne's stats, and I'm like, whoa!! Yes, he did have a couple...
You know, this could really give us something to look forward to the last six games. Seeing guys like Matthews, more of Miller, and maybe even...
This right here describes Ireland better than any other description I've ever seen. Those who say he completely sucks miss the mark - he doesn't....
Completely agree, though I would love to see Tannehill have a 3 TD game at some point before season's end. RGIII had four yesterday in 15 attempts.
Absolutely Luck is on a different level. That's why we all wanted to suck for him last year. He's THAT good and a once-in-a-generation talent....
With all due respect here, expecting seven losses in a row here is unrealistic. Just like expecting seven wins in a row after the Raiders game, or...
Let's also put into perspective that Tannehill's best receivers are complementary guys in Bess and Hartline. Hartline is the quinntissenital #2/#3...
if you can’t just see it when he is on the field, then you are blind!
For one, Tannehill started from day one, while Henne got to watch a very efficient Pennington for 20-plus games before starting. Secondly, it's...
The Titans do not have an super-accurate Andrew Luck to throw to those receivers. And you would think our DL will get back to getting at the QB....
I sure hope so. Then, come back four days later and beat the Bills. Get to 6-4 very quickly!
Bad calls happen, but the two at the end really fried me. Marlin Moore pancaked that guy, and I don't see how anyone could see it differently....
Honestly folks, w/ not having a realistic shot at getting Luck (what, were were going to trade five #1s?), getting Tannehill as a consolation...
This made me laugh. As a high school football official, I can't tell you how many times this happens during a season when a crew gets together to...
How 'bout this one .... Chad Henne!! Yes, Chad Henne! The jerk who teased us that he was actually going to be the QB we were looking for after...
True, but don't forget, it's hard to cover receivers when you have absolutely no pass rush!
Understood, but the want-to and the have-an-opening-for-you need to match up. Not sure it will.
And, had the Pats and Cowboys on the ropes. Kept us in both games.
If I'm Ireland, I TRY to sign Moore to an extension right now, w/ the expectation that he's going to be a back-up, obviously. Give him a two-year...
Sure, I'm game! Blow-out it is! Dolphins 27, Jets 6.
Is Aaron Maybin still a thing?
Rex sticks foot in mouth ....
What I've learned from this is Gil Brandt should be hired a special consultant to Jeff Ireland - Sirrius NFL Radio be damned. If it's true that he...
I voted Jets, simply because - long term - the Pats are the greater threat to our division title run (presuming, of course, one even happens - if...
New Orleans is pretty much the most perfectly built party town ever!
If I'm Ross, I put up some $$, and raise the rest through private interests ..... then enjoy the benefits of the upgrade! Such changes would mean...
"Hey kid ... so, can you catch the football? No, seriously, like I need to sign a WR, like now."
"Tonight - we dine in HELL!!!" or "This IS SPARTA!!!!"
and by "get it done," I mean Ross and friends. No reason a $10 billion industry needs to use tax dollars. Sure, get the counties to chip in on...
They kind of have this "12th Man" thing going in Buffalo too, stems from their SB days. It's a very big, but also very cozy stadium, especially...
From an outsider's perspective (I live in Upstate NY) on the crowd thing, I think it's two-fold here. Yes, the Stadium .... well, it sucks. I've...
Yes, indeed I was quite a bit worried ..... and, now, I feel really silly about it.
Arizona blitzed him all day, and it didn't work (till the very end, of course). And they were beat deep too because of it. Tannehill has been...
Simply put, in a few years, everyone in the national media will be talking about Tannehill the way they talk about Matt Ryan and Aaron Rodgers...
Just thought I'd revisit this thread now that Tannehill has shown us what he has, and what he's capable of. I am so hooked!
Considering our 3-3 record now, and very solid play, our awesome rookie QB, and our calm, bright head coach who seems to have taken control of...
What about that proposal they keep throwing around, but can't get funded. Fewer seats, lower deck closer to the field, that sun-shade thing for...
I hope they don't change it, to be honest. Heck, even if they do, it's not like your jersey is irrelevant! I mean, how much is it going to change....
Not yet, for two reasons. One, I bought a Henne jersey too early, and have been burned. I mean, it's just sitting there, rotting in my closet,...
Very true, very true. It's all relative, my feeling bad for him.
Ryan Tannehill approves this message.
Let's hope so. Look at the tapes - notice how Moore is always down there ASAP to either tackle the returner, or force him off his chosen path. The...
In a weird sorta way, I kinda feel bad for Naanee. He dropped THAT far, it's gotta hurt. That said, happy to see him go. Gaffney just has to be...
Yep, I understand. It's not a cheap proposition by any means. Outside of our flights and hotel two years ago (one flight free, both rooms free...
If you live that far away, making it to even one game is admirable!
As for you SoFla fans, if you have the money (I can't stress this enough, as I can understand it if you are jobless, or can't spare the extra...
I would love to, but I'm one of those true Dolphin-Nation fans who lives in Saratoga Springs, NY. I'll get down there next year for sure, though -...
Wow, hadn't realized that. Amazing!
Naanee needs to quit football!
I think it's OK to be pissed about the loss, and yet still see the big picture. I know we all are!
Guys, Tannehill is very special. Very very special! We are all set at QB for about 12-15 years. This is just the beginning, just wait till he has...
Yes.
Beyond pissed, but what can we do! Giving AZ their first loss of the season will help!
