Forum: Miami Dolphins

Fear sets in in Indy... And that which they are afraid of will get them, it's a law. LOL LOL... Just look at their fans message boards, they are really worried about their run D. They are 6th from the bottom in the leaugue in that catagory, they average giving up over 130 yards a game. ...

Please my brothers of the fin nation I welcome thee to confess their inner feelings.......... 1. Griese is our savior 2. Fiedler to hold thee clipboard 3. worship griese after td passes.....

Given, Griese Jr played really well for the first half, thew 3 tds for about 130 yards or so. Im glad that he looked as confident and calm in the pocket as he did. But for one moment, lets go back to Brians past and make an observation. As a Bronco, his 2nd year starting he went to the Pro...

Wanny will be on Jim Rome in the next hour or so. He will review the year and discuss the QB situation. Keep ears peeled.:D

According to the Washington Post, the Phins are among the interested party in newly reinstated DT Darrell Russell. I heard something about the Phins really interested in a defensive lineman out west. But didn't know it was Russell. If this is true, then I say "WTF?? This is the guy who's...

What does matter is that the Dolphins WIN!!! Also, lets not forget that the Fins are a running team. Ricky must be given a chance to run. The O line needs to physically dominate the line of scrimmage. Not to mention if they don't do their job on pass protection Griese will be lunch meat. ...

Rogers To Ride The Pine Oct. 29th, 2003 The Palm Beach Post reports that kick returner Charlie Rogers will sit this Sunday and may be declared inactive and that Travis Minor would handle kick off returns while Sam Simmons would handle the punt return duties. "Right now I'm going to stay with...

Simply can't believe no one has yet to mention JUST HOW FREAK'N NICE it was to have a back-up come in and play well (especially against a clearly inferior team) and come away with the W. Hey, Lucas, you sorry *******! You getting this, you pansy-a$$, mental case?!? Someone should grab his...

Fo over a month I had been planning on travelling down to San Diego, CA for the past Monday Night game from San Jose, CA (In the SF Bay.) Since I live on the west coast, I don't get a chance to see the Dolphins LIVE very much, and San Diego is a beautiful city, so I was planning on making a 3-day...

Derrius DROPS'EM!!!! I figured if we are going to call McKinght McDrops, then Derrius needs a new name too.

im not feeling too good today after last nights disapointments and long drive home but to say the least what did you guys think? I know im still pissed I cant belive the original ticket holders were treadted like that :fire: Ill post more fellings later...

The Devil and the Deep Blue Sea Tuesday, October 28, 2003 - Will Hickman http://www.coltfreaks.com/index.php?call=article&news_ID=76 All is right with the universe... ... Next month will be rough on the Colts, and it won't get much rougher than next week, in Miami against the Dolphins. ...

Dw just made his decision and Griese Will start

This guy has got to be kidding. I wonder if he even knows the Colts used to play in Baltimore?- "No history buff Linebacker David Thornton made it clear he'll never be mistaken for an NFL historian. When the conversation turned to Miami's quarterbacks, Thornton wasn't certain how Brian...

i see the marlins and miami -dade have come up with a plan in the works to build a 38,000 ballpark with retractable roof,,this is a start to have proplayer all to ourselves.. lets go fins

Maybe it will be good for Miami that they have no confidence in their backup's that injuried payers for the colts have to Quote "fight throught it." LOL Wednesday, October 29 FIGHTING THROUGH IT By John Oehser - Colts.com Diem, Glenn Hoping to Play Sunday INDIANAPOLIS – The...

Listen up... These next 2 weeks are no joke.. Miami faces the juggernauts of the AFC South the next 2 weeks and this is a huge chance to get the upper hand on whoever wins that division.. More than likely, the Chiefs have won the home-field advantage and now that leaves 1 other spot for a...

ok, after the game got moved & my tix became worthless (tho they do have a pretty pic of Tomnlinson on them)... ...and I wan't allowed (wife...ho hum) to drive to AZ... ...my cable was lost due to some flame issues in the neighborhood. I saw the 1st half at a bar but am looking for the...

Although I only caught the last couple minutes of Wannstedt's press conference he made a couple good comments. He said he would decide by tomorrow who the quarterback against Indianapolis would be. He was also asked about Mark Dixon and he stated that he was "very disappointed" that Mark didn't...

I thought Brian played very well. Now I understand how bad SD is (Jerry "Big Play" Wilson was starting), but to see a QB other than Marino throwing TD passes to WRs who are actually standing in the endzone and not having to make great catches was very refreshing. And he played without a...

Who would you pick if you were HC as our starting QB now??

I think is so stupid to have 53 players but you can only dress 45. I really think that the games could be better if you have more players to work with, not to mention that some players will play the 4th quarter when they're not %100 cos they don't have anyone else and therefor they get hurt more. I...

Okay guys, now that we now who starts. What are your guys predictions? QB stats etc.. Miami 27 Colts 17 Griese 25-36-235 2tds, 1 int, 2 sacks Williams 112 yds 1td Chamber 8- 93 yrds, 1 td Defense 2ints, fumble recovery

What kind of a game vs the colts will make him the qb for the rest of the season?

http://bobspace.freewebspace.com/images/lines.jpg Just about the largest frikin line you can admagine, full of people waiting to get into the free football game, But then http://bobspace.freewebspace.com/images/scrum.jpg It just kind of converged into one big massive blop infront of the...

Hank just went to Big O at Dolphin camp... He said Brian Griese will start this sunday against the Colts. Also said he had some soreness in the thumb, but made all the throws. Chester did some work on the side, like on the bike and stuff... He is expected to play. Also said that Dixon has to...

Looks like Griese has made more enemies than friends....this article is not encouraging. Let's hope they are wrong.

I keep seeing references to Griese falling off in Denver. One post even said he was surrounded by talent. I think you need to do your research. When Griese started "falling off" Shannon Sharpe had been released, Macaffery and Smith were injured much of the time, as were many others, and the RB...

Still waiting for word on who Sunday's starter will be ...

Nice win Phin fans ! I was just trying to throw some bait out there for a good discussion. :) Chargers look horrible for god sakes.

http://www.nfl.com/teams/story/MIA/6788901 "Several comments by the coach suggested he's leaning toward starting Griese again. Wannstedt said a starter knocked out of the lineup by an injury -- Fiedler, for instance -- isn't assured of keeping his job. "

I think if norv keeps doing this then in a stride of games he would make a series of changes since teams know now that norv runs on first down then just imagine in the upcoming games where norv runs something else. just like the game against the giants where they were keying on ricky. Norv will...

Dolphins And Colts Injury Reports: Chester Questionable For Miami

not awhole said about this so i thought i'd bring it up. if it was earlier and I missed it, I apologize. BUT............... 'sup with Mare'?? Last week, miised two gamewinners, albeit one was blocked, and NOW this week, he abso-frikkin-lutley misses a virtual chipshot of around 36 yds. At 2...

Indy is giving up an eye opening 131 yards a game rushing. Norv? Norv, do you see that? 131 yards. I don't want to see Griese put in a situation like Fiedler was last year in KC. Run the football and push that small Colt Dline around. Ricky, needs to just pound on these guys and they'll be...

Any word on who will be the starting QB yet?

he had 2 more sacks last night and has 7 now for the year, i hope we can get an extension for him in the near future, if not i can see someone paying him the big bucks in the offseason, this should be our top priority besides QB this offseason, i think we let go todd wade and put even more in our...

i see an ongoing debate over who the #2 and #3 guy should be, and how often they should all be on the field and so on. the thing that doesn't seem to come up is the fact the our 3 receiver set is on the field most of the time. cus Randy McManly is the 2nd best receiver on the team. where he...

As I watch the Marlins prepare for their second victory parade in 7 years it brings a tear to my eye. Not so much because they won as because the Dolphins have subjected me to futility for all these years. Every pass Dan threw was magical. Every loss to the Bills in the postseason, followed by...

This could get breathy so bear with me. Just got back from a long road trip from Riverside, Ca. to Tempe which is about 4 1/2 hours away. Left immediately following the decision on Sunday night to change the venue from SD to ASU. Lucked out and got a room at the Tempe Best Western (right next to...

throwing hand. which finger screwed up Kurt Warner? i was already worried about BGs shoulder. its been under the knife. and now the thumb? could we please have some mercy before we actually look like the donkeys.

A lot of the opinions I’ve seen on this game speak to the dominance of Miami’s offense over the Chargers, Griese’s huge game elevating him to starter about Fiedler, etc. Then, these numbers showed up from an e-mail discussion group. Some numbers that may surprise you: ...

With all this talk about the QB situation I think the bigger issue for the Phins is the special teams play. Mare is missing field goals left and right lately and he can’t blame the dirt on his last miss. :confused: We have been through a number of long snappers and had a botched punt snap...

Ricky Williams did not have a good game last night. Did San Diego play 8 men in the box? Also my take is before we say that Fiedler could have had similar success against a bad S.D. pass defense, keep in mind, at least statistically, he played worse defenses in N.E. (I do like their defense...

Offer-Dolphin Dream Game Promo Kicks Off Offerdahl’s Café Grills’ “Season Of Fresh"

Just heard on ESPN News they will honor all tickets from QualComm there will be additional tickets at the stadium. It would be wise if you have a ticket to start driving now. If you need to fly out use Long Beach Airport or John Wayne Airport. SouthWest Airlines.

Obviously, I think most people think it should be Griese, but most people have thought Griese should have been in a long time ago. you never know with Wanny. Who will start next week?

I thought Mark was supposed to play this week. I like Mark alot but this team needs to figure out if he can play. If not we need to find someone else and get them ready to play. Any thoughts?

OK lets face it. KC is probably getting the #1 seed in the playoffs. At worst the #2. The AFC north champ is getting the #4. So, either the east or the south will get the other first round bye. The INDY and TENN game are critical when it comes down to tie breaker. We need these games like...

There is room to run on the Colts... Coach Tony Dungy emphasized run defense for two weeks, then watched Houston pile up 131 yards rushing. I see dead horses everywhere...

didn't somebody complain about the team scoring 3 points in the second half. how about only 2 and that was scored by the defense. griese couldn't hit anybody downfield either and one look in he threw 5 yds behind McM!

Better than being stuck with Brees for the next 5 years!!

Ok, I'm using my girlfriend's sign-on name to post here, I need some feedback. I got my GF tickets to the MNF for her birthday. Since the game sold out in like 5 seconds, I had to get them off of EBay like many others. I spent $350 for field 17 seats, and this girl was stoked. She's an...

I know a lot of guys are excited about this game. But who here will stake their internet reputations that Griese will play great when the team needs him to win the game.

Hey Dolfans, I just wanted to come here and wish you guys the best of luck with Brian Griese. I really hope he breaks out big with the Dolphins. Unlike many Denver fans, I have never been a "Griese Basher"...I have always thought he was a really good quarterback and just wasn't fit right into...

Everyone can have two guesses.:) Enter a passing yardage prediction for each quarterback, or just one if you prefer. Just be sure to list a name and a number OR both names and respective numbers. If both QB's get passing yards, the contest results will key to the one with more yards. The best...

Why not?.....These two are Don Strock and David Woodley all over again. Fiedler is the scrambling Woodley and Griese is the pocket passing Strock. All four are and were notoriously streaky. So, why not rotate QBs and play the hot hand? It worked before.:D

there are two ways to resolve this, 1st which i suggest is we all keep quiet and let DW do his job and pick the starting qb. All we have to do is get behind who ever he chooses. or we can be like steve spurier and rotate qbs. so thats how we will solve this situation

Dude was running sideline to sideline play after play and was still making plays. im impressed, so much better than that fat tub of useless goo that buffalo has.

Does everyone(or anyone) agree with what I've been saying for weeks? For every good play Thompson makes, he F's up on two plays. He is so inconsistent, reminds me of a bigger/slower Charles Jordan, except Jordan was a playmaker. McKnight isn't a reliable receiver either, but after Chambers.. we...

first of all, if you don't watch this show... i dunno why! i never miss it. Kellerman talked about Brian Griese's good showing. and the question is wether or not miami matters in the AFC hunt. Cawlishaw/Mariotti- said miami isn't going anywhere because of december and they're a "groundhog...

After seeing this year's schedule, I was excited to see a Dolphins game out west and better yet a Monday Night game featuring Junior's return to San Diego! Never did I dream that this roadtrip would lead to a 26 hour bustrip, numerous detours, about 1000 miles in travel, and probably 2 cases of...

If Brian Griese does indeed get the start on Monday night, I hope that it brings some resolution to the quarterback controversy that have divided Dolphins fans and quite possibly the team itself. My preference would be for Brian to play just well enough to eke out a win so that Jay retains his...

This will probably get moved but, I was at the game (Miami vs. SD) and wasn't able to tape it. If someone did and can make me a copy I'll gladly pay for it and shipping. Thanks!

Wanny needs to put all sentiments aside and put his best players on the field. I think he has personal attachments to certain players that clouds his decision-making. A few come to mind. #1. Fiedler - I think Wanny has a personal attachment to Fiedler, keeping him as the starter when there are...

Is the Edge playing this week? I don't think he played against the Texans, I didn't wonna watch that expected-to-be boring game(thought it wasn't).

Let's face it. Jay Sux! New England had worst pass defense in the whole league and we lose. Griese is the man. I know we all know that with Griese no one can beat us. He makes our line better and our receivers better. Jay has never done anything good and should go back to the ivy league...

Brian Griese Jay Fielder Sage

There were literally tens-of-thousands of people in downtown Miami today cheering on the Marlins. Miami had to be totally shut down today because of all the people. Right now, Downtown Ft. Lauderdale has thousands of people waiting for the Marlins to come on stage. They are shooting crazy...

Will we pass the ball on first down for christ sakes! Our first down offense is the most predictable in the NFL. This wont stand the next 3 weeks when we are going against three very agressive defenses. On another note Dave better start to play to win this game and put the nail in the cuffin,...

Great game last night. We even had an usually good turn out at the old sports bar for a Monday night game... Is this the begining of the Griese era? Hard to say what lies ahead but Son of Bob looked sharp last night. At one point his passer rating was just slightly north of 150...and it...

Somebody interviewed Jay in the locker room on either ESPN or ESPNews, but I only caught half of it. It went something to this extent: Interviewer: Do you feel that your starting spot is in jeopardy? Jay: I will go into next week and the rest of the season as if I am starting. Rather it...

Hey guys, Didn't know if anyone could help me. I am lucky enough to be engaged to get married to an awesome beautiful girl who happens to be a big Phins fan. I have a hotel room in South Beach and will be trying to take her to the game. I HAVE NO TICKETS! I will gladly pay face value if...

"We hear that young Dolphins WRs Sam Simmons and J.R. Tolver would see much more playing time if the coaches would look past their lack of game-day experience and trust their playmaking potential. Veteran WRs Derrius Thompson and James Mc_Knight have been disappointing to date." You would think...

I wanted you guys to let me know how good is the Indianapolis Defense. THey look like a good Blitz Defense do you think this can effect Griese? I did notice yesterday he has a quicker release than Fieldler, he also reads better..... I hope we kick the living crap out of Indy.... ...

1. The Chargers Suck 2. He his Completion % was high because he threw short passes 3. What about the long ball. Everyone criticizes Jay, but if Griese cannot connect on a long ball against that secondary then he never will. 4. His accuracy is still not as good as Jays. Although his...

When we play a team with a pass rush we will see how Griese handles it. I dont want him to get hurt but he is not as mobile as Fiedler and like Jay he tends to get banged up easily. Its not to hard to get a pass rush on Miami either. Just crowd the line on first down and stop Ricky up the...

notice that all his kicks tonight tended to go towards the left, and eventually the last one missed? Is it the change in holders or snapper? He better get his act together... oh, and GO PHINS!

Rob Konrad's been playing hurt anyway (knee), so why not? QB: Brian Griese WR: C.Chambers, J.McKnight, S.Simmons (in the slot) TE: Randy McMichael RB: Ricky Williams Result: - 3 WRs who have game breaking speed. - A Pro Bowl QB who can break open a game with the right tools.

Hey did any of you guys get to go to the game last night?

take on the game. Interesting read. Stoda: We've got a controversy on our hands By Greg Stoda, Palm Beach Post Staff Writer Tuesday, October 28, 2003 TEMPE, Ariz. -- TEMPE, Ariz. -- It's a quarterback controversy. ...

This is going to come off as a point/counterpoint...sue me 1)Griese was facing easily the worst pass rush/pass D Miami will face all season. 1A)Griese did so with almost zero preparation, and playing time with the first string O. He also did it while still nursing an injury 2)Griese was...

i'll be driving down from connecticut to attend my first fins home game. who from finheaven will be attending this game. me and three other finfans will be going to the pro to watch the fins...finally. so, who's going? what places would you recommend going too? we should get there by...

and who do you think will start. I've got Fied starting on my fantasy team but I also think the Phins win with him. There may be a QB controversy if Brian starts and posts a 100+ QB rating.

THe reason why Ricky is not getting over 100 yards is because our damn offensive line is getting pushed back by them Dline for like 5 yards and stopo ricky.. The dolphins offensive line looks like my old JV high school team.. Seriously , how hard can it be to block one of the players to a right...

3 positve things that I've noticed about our team this year is 1. we are winning on the road (we've double our road wins from last year already), 2. our red zone defense is amazing, and 3 we are causing TO's on defense. It doesn't matter if we give up 99 yds on every drive if all the opponents...

BionicPatriot Dolphin fans... Why is it just like last year, Miami beats a horrible team and is all of a sudden talking about their QB being a juggernaut? I mean I remember hearing nothing but Griese's drinking problem now alls I hear is, GRIESE!!!!!! START GRIESE!!!!! Wow, he had a good...

I watched the game but couldn't tell if Dixon got it or not.

Does anyone have the exact stats? Seems like Ricky is fumbling more this year. Its got me real concerned. SD would have only scored 3pts last night if it wasnt for Rickys fumble on the 1yd line. Some one get him some STICKEM!!!

Weren't we supposed to be wearing our orange jerseys yesterday?

How is he doing? Wil he play on Sunday? Did you see him running after Brees..damn he almost go him..

There is a tremendous chemistry between Griese and the Dolphin receivers. If Griese can continue to play the way he did last night, I believe the Dolphins will have a new starting QB. The majority of his incomplete passes were indeed catchable. I was thoroughly impressed and proud to have...

Im wondering ...................when does it happen? remember scott mitchell dont ya? he won that big game against KC for shulas 324. marino was trade talk. then the next week he looked like garbage against NY jets. but i will say that griese doesnt throw like that wing ding that mitchell threw....

I know 06 is from San Diego. I hope you guys and your families are safe w/ all the forest fires going around in your area. You guys have my prayers.
