Forum: Miami Dolphins

During his wednesday interview on NYJETS.com, Herm said "that he expected a very loud crowd this weekend vs. Miami." He referred to the game against Indy in the first playoff game last year and said he thought "it would be as loud as that game." Hopefully, its mostly Dolphin Fans making the...

Did any of you know Ricky has a show on WQAM? I was looking at there schedule and he has a show tonight from 7-8

Hey all, Know this may be in the wrong area but was wondering if there is any place any of you gather to watch the game on Sunday.... My business has me here until next Monday and I am in the Worcester area, will drive wherever I need to. Oh one note: If you have given up on the season...

As you can obviously see, Finworld has gone crazy after losing the first game of the season. Tempers are flying, people are worried and frustrated, people are pointing fingers, but its ok, its all part of the NFL life.... no one wants to see their team lose, but not everyones team can win.....you...

J.T. was stopped cold by a second year tackle and whatever else Houston did. This never should have happened. It was a another in a long long line of coaching failures. Other teams watch the tapes and will do the same thing unless the coaches actually earn thier money and figure out how to spring...

... I'm telling you now... Dolphins lose. Sorry. I am completely "in the dumps" with this team. Like the saying goes, "show me - don't tell me"... ... dating back to the last two games of 2002, this team ain't shown me sh**! The word "tease" really comes to mind. What a waste of...

Has anybody tried this game. It features Jay Fiedler. I can't understand how to get a higher score. http://games.mindcomet.net/nextel/football/index.php

That 3-4 Defense is a pain in the a**, but not inpenetrateable. The 3-4 D, with fast LB's, is effective against the run, but still be countered with counters, playactions, delays, and draws. The Fins used these plays and some worked, some didn't. The "8 in the box" problem can be countered by post...

Dolphins' defense not quite zoned in on changes By Alex Marvez yup, coaching was not to blame at all :nono: Also on that page:

the fins really need to win this game! As bad as sunday was, a win over the jets will right the ship (for a week anyways). If we go 0-2, there is going to be some serious problems. I know other teams have gotten on a roll, etc. , but there is one less wild card, and if we loose to the jets, it's...

This will be Dave's last year...thank God! I'm too pissed off to think of a replacement myself... Damnit! :fire:

http://images.nfl.com/photos/img6627403.jpg A rivalry for the ages

Well didnt watch the game. Dont know what happened. But in my gut all the hype at the beginning of the week made me feel this was gonna happen. I just knew when I got home and checked the scores Miami was going to be in the loss column. But on a weird superstitious note...hey 17yrs we started...

Im looking to get Direct TV so I can watch all the Miami games. Im not really interested in watching any other team but the Fins so I was wondering of there was some way you could subscribe to a local FL channel to watch games without having to get NFL ticket. Ive read some things on it before...

Who was that guy on Texas offensive line stopping Taylor? A 'superstar'? Not hardly. The truth is that he's a nobody. So how can this possibly happen? The fact is that it is not realistic to expect J.T. or Zack for that matter to have a career year every single year. How long have these guys...

On sports Center tonight Sean sounded off on the Dolphins. He basicly hit the same point I said last night. He lead off his speil by saying the "Dolphins were a joke." He went on to say whats the point of bringing in a franchise back possibly the best in the NFL if you aren't going to give him the...

According to Ethan Skolnick in this morning's Sun-Sentinel, Wayne Huizenga was "visibly...and audibly...peeved" after the game. Several years ago, Success magazine named Huizenga its "entrepreneur of the year." I kept a copy of the issue, in which it talks a lot about his management style. His...

I am still in absolute disbelief after that loss. One thing that definitely stands out though, Royals sucks. Any pressure situation, he chokes. Andy Groom is a rookie punter that should be on a team. I live in Columbus, and I will tell you he was the best punter in the nation last year. His average...

Arrogance \Ar"ro*gance\, n. The act or habit of arrogating, or making undue claims in an overbearing manner; that species of pride which consists in exorbitant claims of rank, dignity, estimation, or power, or which exalts the worth or importance of the person to an undue degree; proud...

QB is not the phins only problem, but Jay would be more of a product of Chan Gailey's system. Like Cordell Stewart or at Georgia Techs current QB Reggie Ball. I do not believe that he can run Norv's offense which needs more of a drop back big arm QB. Like Brad Johnson, Aikman, Jim Everret, or his...

After week 1 the Houston Texans have the number 1 ranked offense in the AFC and the Miami Dolphins have the lowest ranked defense. OUCH!!!!

Kinda surprised there isn't much talk going on since the team has been heavily hinting they might keep Wade Smith as a starter even when Dixon is back. Surprised with all the debate over the small stuff like 3rd down backs that we haven't really gotten into putting Jay's blind side in the hands of...

I've bashed Miami's character and their arrogant ways in my other thread, but I'll go ahead and look at the bright side other than the Houston game only being a "practice" which some people felt it was. Last year, 2 strong teams lost to the Houston Texans.. The New York Giants and the Pittsburgh...

Now before you all go belting me around I would like to let you all know that I came over here because we have some pretty decent Phin fan posters over on the GangGreen and I thought I'd toss in my $.02 on the game this weekend. I'm not a trash talker and, IMO, offer up some of the most indepth...

The results speak for themselves. One team looked just like the other one. Sure enough, it turned out to be a one point game and could have gone either way. That's how evenly matched they are. I still think the poor pre-season gave us a pretty good indication of what may be happening here.

I'm surprise no one mention him and let me start out by saying: I can't wait to see Dixon back in there.Wade Smith is clearly not ready to start at LT.He needs to bulk up and spent sometime in the weight room.He was overpower in so many plays and pass protection brokedown.He also need some more...

I am sure I am gonna get homer bashed on this. I have a right to ask a question so before a homer bashes me, here is my answer. You are answering a request not a statement so do not bash for no reason. Now for the question I am just asking who are the top QBs available next year Bulger,...

superbowl championships... right now i don't care... i want jason taylor to treat testaverde like he was auditioning for "Oz". i live in ny. the guys on the radio still think vinny will have a good season. they think vinny is as good as fiedler, or better, depending on the day. they think hackett...

That's the biggest problem with the fins. They are a bunch of pansies emotionally meaning once something goes wrong they can't recover. Until they fix that they'll never go anywhere and Buffalo is going to eat them up in week 3. Somebody needs to go into the locker room and give them an ***...

http://www.sun-sentinel.com/media/photo/2003-09/9303902.jpg I'm sick of seeing Wannstedt with his hand over his face or scratching his head. He needs to get as pissed off as the fans and start cracking skulls. He needs to let the players know that performances like that on Sunday will not be...

...was he telling Dolphins fans what we could expect for the season?:cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry:

we must have Chucky Cheese. Is Wanny too nice of a guy to strike fear in players hearts and get them to play at their highest ability?

Are the Dolpin Players playing this poorly to have Dave Wannesdt fired? I heard a veteran player mention that Wanny worked them too hard in the preseason? I thought he took it a little easy on them this pre-season. Also another veteran player saying the problem starts "from the top".

This is why we couldn't win, a combination of many things. One being feidlers interception, ricky's fumble, our d-line taking the day off, but what concerns me is the clock managment, why couldn't we just pound it up the middle and kill the clock, something else that concerns me is the fact the we...

Wade Smith vs. John Abraham Our whole O-Line looked shaky in the Texans...while John Abraham went up against C.Samuels and still managed to get the job done......Wade Smith better brace himself and step it up or it could be a looooong Sunday for Feidler.

Todd Wade in a contract year and he ism't playing any better than last year. Now isn't that a mystery for a guy who always wants money.

I live in NH and have had the sunday ticket for 6 years. Sunday, while watching the fins, I switched to the other games while it's on a commercial. To my surprise, I could not get the rams/giant or the pats/bill games!!! I called directv, and they said since they were being shown on local tv, that...

The dolphin defense is not even in the same league as the Bucs...yes, I know most of you guys are level-headed fans who don't make accusations like that, but there have been a few dolfans comparing the dolphin d to the bucs d...not anymore fellas...just turn on ABC...that defense, hell the eagles d...

A team with 7+ pro-bowlers & the Leagues leading rusher Can't make the playoffs, However some fool can turnaround & talk about Super Bowl aspirations for the following season. Based on what EXACTLY? How is that even tolerated? I would harp the above facts to the players until they hated...

Knowing that hindsight is always 20/20..... ....Who else wishes that we would have went after an OL in round 2 of the draft?...... ....Was there anybody on the field for the Dolphins that looked like they played hungry?.... ...Which team had a 2nd year QB again??.... ....How many sacks...

We scored 6 points, 3 against NE, and not much against Minn. This has been overlooked by everyone but i'm sure Norv and Wanny are aware of it that our offense is fading in the second half. If you look at that bench Fiedler website he has the stats for Brian and Jay in the 4th quarter and Greise is...

mantallity." Unless we get homefeild advantage or are at least 2 games out of the playoffs at season end this game will be brought up over and over a again.

Everyone here is going nuts on the coaches so I am going to throw in a new perspective. I am not by any means trying to back our coaches and say they are good, but just out to prove that our players may not be so great. Is it the coaches faults when Junior Seau hits Stacey Mack two yards behind...

...from BZ...I thought you guys might enjoy this since you're not real high on Wanny right now. Caption Contest

that if the Dolphins lose to the stinkin lousy jets then 0-4 becomes a real possibility. After the stinkin lousy jets they have the Bills at home then the 'bye-week' then at the Giants. .......... (I guess the bye-week gives the coach a chance to sell his house)

I come in here this morning and everyone freaked me out...... from Fire Dave Wannstead again, from blaming madison for being what he says he is "overated". Relax guys, go to your wifes and spend some time with her cause it sounds like most of you are spending time with their computer or laptop or...

Did anyone watch the Tampa Bay defense last night? Do you know what I noticed? Not only did they blitz like crazy, it seemed like they were in a different formation on every down. End result? Zero points for a team that has gone to the NFC Championship Game 2 years in a row. There was one...

I would say not yet, but I mean, we just lost to Houston and we are going on the road to a place where we can't win as of late, so things don't look great as of now.

- Play the same ball that we did last year when we came there. -This year they have worse personnel and we have Fiedler healthy and a couple of additions offcourse. -Don't let Abraham or Ellis create pressure on Fiedler. That is the key to our offensive sucess. Attack the safeties. I expect...

the way we played. We seriously looked like crap Sunday. This team is going no where if they play like this. It would have been nice if we won and went into NY 1-0. This team's confidence must be shattered. They really have to win against the Jets...what I'm worried about is the pressure...we...

I said it before, keeping Fletcher is a guarantee of well deserved firing for Wanny for his extremely poor judgement in trying to justify his bad draft pick and thereby passing over substantially better players to do it. WH would be crazy and set himself up as a laughing stock if he doesn't act.

Now that there has been a full day to think about the loss and to stop swearing under my breath I can post my thoughts. Haven't gone through any of the other posts yet but I'll guess I'll be touching up on a lot of what everyone else is saying. As I stated during halftime I am just really...

How is it possible that game 1 set's the tempo for the rest of the season? If that was possible to fathom, then we should have been undefeated last year, no? Same goes for the bills game 1 this year... I wonder.

From David Hyde in the Sun-Sentinel: "There's a larger point to all these nitpicks, and it's that a coach creates a team atmosphere that mirrors his temperament. Jon Gruden strutted into Tampa Bay last season. Bill Parcells hammered his way into Dallas this season. Herm Edwards, when the Jets...

OK alright everyone on this site. Buffalo fans your defense will not play that great for the rest of the season. End of story. Miami's problem. Not enough McMichael underneath and no Thompson on the play action across that middle that Gadsden made a living doing. Ricky and Chris are the playmakers...

Are you surprised? Should (will) Jason Taylor have a career year every year? Not hardly. Nobody does. Is he, and Zack for that matter, on the upside or on the downside of thier careers? How many years have these guys been around in a league where 3 yrs is a career?

FROM: SUN-SENTINAL Dave Wannstedt press conference transcript (Sept. 8) OPENING STATEMENT: "The disappointment of the game is more of a question that we don't dwell on why as much as what we're going to do about it. The things that prevented us from winning the game . . . we will get those...

At the end of last year, many people professed a desire to see more blitzing. I was opposed to the idea, for many reasons that I will not state (for space saving purposes). After this game, how does everyone feel about blitzing? We still have the personnel to play a four man rush (though you...

Lets start the quarterback controversy again!!!! Come on Greise..get better! :lol: Come on ladies......untwist your panties.......relax and lets cheer on our boys!........Lets Go Dolphins!

Before the board is overrun with "FIRE WANNSTEDT" threads for the week, I'll detail exactly why we lost and who's fault it really was. Why we lost: Ricky Williams: 17 attempts, Jay Fiedler: 32 attempts. These statistics should be reversed. WE HAVE A PROBOWL RUNNING BACK AND WE ARE NOT USING...

to Chris Chambers. He impressed me with his catches. I particularly like the one in the back of the endzone. However, where was your league rushing leader? What the hell happened to the Dolphins. What happened to the Junior Seau pick up, or Sammy Knight...or Jason Taylor...Tim Bowens. Dolphins...

How many losses is this in a row? And to lesser teams too. It looks bad. Who knows, the window of opportunity may already be closed for this team. WH needs to get involved now.

Although I think our performance left quite a bit to be desired yesterday, I have to hand it to Houston that they played a solid ballgame. Their offensive line was outstanding, Carr put up solid numbers, and the defense played well enough to win. I was impressed enough that I was mentioning...

Sure, losses hurt, but this loss was inevitible. This was good PSYCHOLOGICALLY for our team. Our team came into this game thinking "oh, another practice" or "oh, this is going to be a domination." This loss was a wake-up call. If we didn't lose this week, there is no doubt in my mind that we...

Wannstedt may be alone, but he still believes in Dolphins Why Sean :confused: title of Ed Perry's new book "Just snap the damn ball!" :rolleyes: :up:

He's getting so old and tired that now he has to have Britney Spears lip-sync to help him get through it. BRING BACK THE OLD MONDAY NIGHT FOOTBALL THEME.

For Your Reading Pleasure.... At Least Dave Believes

Everyone is still stuck on the Texans loss and seem to forget that we have a much more important game coming up, in fact this could be one of the most important games of the season ....Yesterday is Yesterday and even if we wouldve won, how long can we celebrate for? So for me, its Time to look...

If you're one the emotionally unstable individuls who's "threatening" to give up the 'Fins after one bad loss please go now and don't come back. Reading the whining, sniveling, crying posts over the past hour or so has made me realize that there are some people who really shouldn't be fans of any...

"Welcome to Miami ladies and gentlemen, where the Houston Texans come in to Pro Player stadium today with worse chances than ___________"

Yep this is probably an overreacting. But I think that loss to the Texans is the most disgraceful loss in the history of the franchise. Far worse than our shalacking at the hands of the Jaguars. Unless we can immediately prove that this was some fluke by defeating the Jets convincingly, I move...

Would the season be done in your opinion? Would Huzienga fire Dave midseason?

They have lost 3 in a row to non Playoff teams! If they have more talent then what is the problem. (Dave could be on HOT SEAT) Either way Jay's out of here. They will not give that Huge pay increase.

First of all this is obviously coming in a little late and the reason was because I didn't want to be around these boards after a loss like that. I knew it would just be a bunch of nonsense with comical responses like we're going 0-16 because Jay Fiedler is our QB or we will miss the playoffs with...

This is a great site and this will be my first post, I think. I tried to post earlier but I think something went wrong cause I can't find it anywhere. Anyway, I believe we have great and talented players on our team but the problem is not something Wanny can fix with practice and working on...

signed, Tony Dungy

DT has got to come back and fight for the ball , and I'm not just talking about on the interception. I distinctly remember him waiting on the ball several times and the defender drove right through him to make a play on the ball. He's got to use his size to shield the defender and attack the...

Forgive me if this has been mentioned on the board before, but I just registered and need to get this off my chess. The Dolphins will pay for not firing Wanny last season. I firmly believe that he never should have gotten this job in the first place, and if anyone wants to see what this team will...

look at what happend last year to Pittsburgh: Texans/Steelers recap and guess what, the Steelers did pretty well in the playoffs.(well, for having a crappy secondary anyway ) Sunday's game stung a bit, but no need to panic just yet. Hopefully we take out some frustrations on the Jets.

11 Penalties for 87 Yards.... I know that holding call on Ricky's beautiful run was TOTAL CRAP... but still.. Undisciplined play is killing us... I don't have the stats but I can almost guarantee that our Penalties have increased each year since Wanny has been here... someone have stats to...

Ok, yesterday sucked a$$, both for the team & everyone around here...making bold predictions of blowouts & then crying like little girls when the Texans pulled out the upset. Wah wah. They had a well-coached team & pulled together in a "nobody respects us" moment & squeaked out the W. We should tip...

Okay this weeks AFCE predictions Miami at Jets (Dolphins) Patriots at Eagles (Eagles) Buffalo at Giants (Good Game I will have to go with the Giants) So lets get back to Dolphin football. No one here thought they were going to go undefeated did they??? We all know realistically we will...
