I just love to see this team playing well and having fun.

Their schedule does get much harder but all of their games are realistically winnable. It might be a tall task but like I've said 100 times. With Brandon Albert, this team can line up and beat anyone....anyone. If they bring the intensity like they did in the first half the sky is the limit.

I will be shocked if the line hits 7 vs Patriots. I think it will be +6, but +7 is a possibility. I would be beyond shocked if it hits 7.5. Just going to enjoy this for 3.5 days and get back to business on Thursday.

Words can't describe how much I love Jarvis Landry. This guy does it all and was an absolute steal in the 2nd round of last years draft.

getty, ken, bigdaddy hp. 


Side note. Tannehill, Landry and Miller got me over 100 points in fantasy footbaall today. Icing on the cake.

Where are the Ryan Tannehill haters? Guy just set a new NFL record for 25 straight completions. And if you say he just throws bubble screens, watch the play at 0.55 remaining in the second quarter for example.

I like how the Dolphins set up screen passes at the beginning of games now to give him confidence after the poor start to the season.

I say it again and again, give me Ryan Tannehill over the overrated gunslinger Andrew Luck all day long.

Wake and Suh are finally on their mission.

Tannehill's ball placement was outstanding yesterday. If you watch that Rishard Matthews TD, Tannehill hits him right in stride. It was literally a perfect pass...People love to criticize the fact he throws short passes, well it obviously works. Especially when you got playmakers that can take a 5 yard pass into a 55 yard TD. Just because he throws short passes doesn't mean he can't hit the long ball. The pass he threw last week vs Titans from the goal line traveled over 35 yards in the air and hit Kenny Stills right on target..I've said it before when Tannehill was at rock bottom. It is mind boggling to think you can't win with this guy. Give him even an average offenseive line and he will continue to light it up...I also LOVE screens. I am a huge screen guy. Back in my Madden days I would start every game by running back to back screens to opposite sides (i would be a great offensive coordinator) 

Suh and Wake are on a mission like you said. On 3 consecutive plays. Suh had 2 sacks and Wake had 1. It was something special to watch. Also before the year Reshad Jones said he was the best safety in the NFL and he is playing like it. Two pick sixes in back to back weeks. The defense will be the deciding factor in their game vs the Patriots. It is going to be a dog fight on Thursday. If Miami brings the intensity it will be fun to watch.

I will be off the boards for most of the week. I hate when Dolphins are on primetime and checking threads about the Dolphins by people who have absolutely no idea what they are talking about and it really frustrates me. Really frustrates me. All of my thoughts on this week will be kept in this thread only, and maybe Glyde/Suuma because those are really the only 2 threads I check often.

Side note: Who else saw Jimmy Wilson get his ankles broken on Amari Cooper long TD catch and run. Oh Jimmy Wilson. 0 FF / 0 FRC / 1 int / 2 not top 10 plays in almost half a season. Thats the Jimmy Wilson I know.

It literally drives me nuts watching how good this team looks right now and just thinking of how this season would look at this point if they had played like this right out of the gate! I deal with this same feeling every season, looking back at games they should have won and what their record "could be", but this year really bugs me!
Joe Philbin was just a horrible motivator and never knew how to handle his players or relate to them. 

I laughed out load when you said you wouldn't be hanging around this site with the prime time game coming up because of all the idiots around here who run their mouths about stuff they don't even understand and bash the Dolphins. I completely understand what you mean, I feel the same way

I think Miami's line backers and secondary will be the deciding factor this game. Confident that Tanny, Juice and the offence will show up, that egocentric maniac Suh and the d-line will be fired up to murder Brady, they'll show up. But the Pats have been killing teams with short passes, plus Gronk, means tackles by the LB's will be a huge factor.

Okay.  The Dolphins might have some talent on their team.  I still feel the same way about Tannehill.  I'd like to see them play a really good defense so I can get a feel for if the simplified offense can work enough in the long run.  I have him in a fantasy league that we start 2 QBs in.  I'm just realistic about players and I know what he needs to improve on.  He'll be a good play against average defenses and weak ones this year, however.

(Dolphins +8 vs Patriots)

Wow. Just wow. Last weeks game is pretty much undescribable. The Dolphins came out like a bat out of hell. If Dan Campbell ran for president, I would actually go out and register to vote for him. He is one of the only people on the planet I can say that for.

This week is a tough week, and honestly could change this franchise for the next 10 years if they win. Yeah, its that big. I have nothing but respect for the Patriots, I think they are the best team in the NFL. However, without Dion Lewis this team should not be 8 point favorites against the hottest team in the NFL. The Dolphins run defense will make the Patriots beyond one dimensional. Tom Brady is more than capable than winning this game and covering but the Dolphins are playing too hot right now. If I have said it once I have said it a million times. With Brandon Albert, the Dolphins can line up and beat anyone in the NFL if they bring the energy. How can they not bring the energy in a thursday night game in New England with the whole world watching?

Really the only way to beat the Patriots and Brady is to get pressure. The last 2 weeks every time the QB drops back the Dolphins are pounding him into the ground. Last week Suh had 2 sacks, like 3 TFL, 3 hits, 3 hurries and a few pass deflections. Cam Wake is also still Cam Wake. Dude has SIX SACKS AND 4 FORCED FUMBLES in the last 2 weeks. Please re-read that sentence. With the way the Dolphins are playing, and the way the Dolphins Dline is playing the Dolphins can win this game. Here are a few other reasons I believe the Dolphins can win.

1 - Tendencies. One of the best thing Beliechek does is take away what you do best or try to do best. Under Dan Campbell they have no tendencies. They are balanced running and passing equally effective. Whichever BB tries to take away, Miami will do the opposite and should have success.

2 - Reshad Jones. Jones is one of the best safeties in the league. He is big, strong and physical. He will be the one covering Gronk most of the night. He has had success vs Gronk. Gronk has 9 catches for 157 yards and 2 tds the last 3 games. Not outrageous numbers.

3 - Brandon Albert. If you don't think the dolphins can win this game, then just look at Brandon Albert. In his last 6 full games. The Dolphins are 6-0 (including 1-0 vs Pats) and outscoring their opponents 188 - 70.

4 - Patriots are really good, but not unbeatable. Wins vs Buffalo, Colts, Jags, hurt Dallas, and hurt Pitt. Then almost lost to NYJ at home. This team is beatable, and the Dolphins beat them last year playing 1 good half. 

I am beyond confident and excited for this game. I really truly believe the dolphins come out and win this game. If not, it will be damn close. Get ready to realize the Miami Dolphins are for real folks. I promise you that they are.


Prediction: 30-24, Dolphins. 


Miami Dolphins +8: 5.4u to win 5
Miami Dolphins ML (+330): 1.5u to win 5
Miami Dolphins +14.5 / Seahawks ML: 3.1u to win 3.

ytd: +3.7u
ytd record with  Brandon Albert (3-0 +15u)


Shoutout to AFC player of the week, and the NFL record holder for consecutive completions Ryan Tannehill..Wonder why no Tannehill haters showed up this week?

The only teams that can beat NE are the ones who can create pressure with just 4 rushers, drop the remaining 7 guys into short coverage with just the corners in 1 on 1 with the receivers, a LB and a safety following Gronk, and the rest clogging up the short passing lanes between the hash marks. Sounds easy, but Brady will kill you from the inside out if you can't beat his offensive line with fewer than 5 pass rushers.

Then again, Belichick may forego the obvious, and just run Blount and James White all night if the Dolphins don't respect the run. That's why they're the best. They figure things out on the fly without missing a beat.

Their defense is a sleeping giant. They just don't get tested often, but when they do, they have shown the ability to make plays that matter.

Good Luck to you and the Dolphins. They certainly have a chance.

Imo this game comes down to suh. If suh is dominant like he was last week it spells big trouble for new england as he can get pressure where brady truly hates it, up the middle. Against the Lions last year he was completely negated by being double and triple teamed, and the Lions couldn't hold up on the back end. I don't think we will see a repeat of that tonight as I believe A. The pats o line is significantly weaker. B. If they double team suh that means Cameron wake will have 1 on 1 matchups, c. The dolphins will have stunts ready if they see that suh is being double teamed. I can't stress enough how important I believe suh will be in thus game to the dolphins chances for a win

With you on your Dolphins tonight. Taking a small shot on the ML as well.. I mean why not? I think any good defensive team that brings pressure at Brady is worth a shot. Haven't hit a big +350/400 ML this season.. was hoping the Jets would be the team last week but that didn't work out.

 Only team worth taking ML shot against the Pats are Jets and Dolphins. I would take Broncos too but I don't think ML will be high. Redskins would be a longshot but I can see it being +700 or something lol
Sip on that plus money honey!

Am I a Tannehill hater? I've talked about him quite a bit in EW's threads over the years. Guy has all the talent in the world. Year 4 the pocket presence hasn't developed like I thought it would. Still doesn't come off reads fast enough. Doesn't play to down and distance. At some point we have to stop defending him and call it like it is.

When they're playing teams better than Houston and Tennessee they're true colors come out. Very talented team with a bad qb, clear to see. Not sure how anyone can think Tannehill could possibly lead a team to anything better than 9-7. Sure he's not Kirk Cousins or Blake Bortles but he isn't good by any stretch. Draft a frickin quarterback and you'll be a playoff team not that difficult to figure out.

he's not a bad QB, he's above average, which in the current NFL is pretty good.

Tannehill is absolute trash, my bad, I overlooked just how bad he really is, the d held the pats to 4 3 and outs in a row but I knew when tannehill converted that into zero points that this would be a total blowout. That was with some very questionable no calls on fairly obvious p.i. by the dolphins.

Suh is trash.  2 tackles tonight.  Do you need any more information?

I said signing him was a mistake.  Like Albert Haynesworth, he gets his ca$h and he quits.

That was Varsity vs JV tonight. If a win (in week 8) was a change for the next 10 years for the franchise, what does a blowout loss mean?
