The DOLPHINS CLINCH !!!!

[hemi68charger]

NOTHING !!!!!!   

When will the good ole days of Shula and/or Marino ever come back?

miami is not a bad team.  It's hard in any sport to start out 1-6 and finish on top,  let alone that there are 16 games to make it up.  If they had started 3-4 in the opening seven they would be right in the hunt.  and the fish have beaten some pretty good teams.

I totally agree.. But either way you slice it, they're not getting anywhere other than better draft choices.......  I've been a Dolphin fan for 43 years,,,, granted, I'm only 42.... and will NEVER disown them.. But, come on !!!!!   

Troy

[41husk]

I'm not a dolphin fan,but they have beaten some good teams this year.  Harrington is a bit unstable, you never know what QB you are getting, but they have good coaching and the good old days will be back in my opinion.  I'm a rams fan and waiting for the good old days as well!!

[69_500]

They seem to be hit or miss this season. Life long Dolphins fan here, not as long of a life as your though Troy. I'm a bit younger.

I said at the begining of the year that the Dolphins would be 8-8 or 9-7. For a while it was looking like .500 was way out of the question. They didn't show up on offense this past week. the Defense has been there week in and week out, but the running game is killing them. That and interceptions.

[firefighter3931]

I thought they clinched last place in the AFC east  That's got to count for something 


Ron

[Steve P.]

That's 2 Florida teams that SUCK.........

You don't clinch last place, you walk away with your head down and hide.... Clinching something usually denotes some form of celebration.. lol

Make that 3 after Ohio State whips their azzes. O how I hate Ohio State but Florida doesn't stand a chance.
GO BLUE!!!!

Glad you guys are enjoying the Joey years, we had him for a while and well...........

[69_500]

No one said we are enjoying the Joey Year, but then again it is still a step up from what we have had over the last 3-5 years.

Hey with more games left in the division, they still have a legit shot at finishing 2nd in the division.

[Steve P.]

The Bills are going to squeeze out the FISH OIL soon.


SQUISH THE FISH...............       

[bull]

[hemi68charger]

Someone didn't get enough sleep last night............

[69_500]

What is the deal with the Dolphins game being moved to 4 pm this weekend, due to the flex schedule? Was it moved to be watched more or less by the majority of the country? Just curious.

[Steve P.]

What, they're still allowing the FISH to be seen on television??   

[bull]

Someone didn't get enough sleep last night............

I did, but this thread just takes it out of me for....

Simple yes, and booooooooooooooooorrrrrrrrrrrrrrring!

[Lostsheep_01]

Even with Harrington's miscues, I'd still take him any day over Culpepper... and I went to UCF!  Not to worry true believers, the Fins will be back to greatness very soon!

[volk68]

Without the bad start, the Dolphins could have been the juggernauts of the AFC East.  I am a die hard Fins fan, and I am just hoping that this isn't going to be a trademark of a Saban led team...slow start, finish just strong enough to get a low round draft pick

When did the Patriots get moved out of the AFC East?

Ever hear of Tom Brady? He's a pretty good quarterback. You know, if you like guys with 3 SB rings and an MVP trophy.

You are dreaming.

[69_500]

Heard of Tom Brady? Yes, heard he lost to the Dolphins today.

[hemi68charger]

Heard of Tom Brady? Yes, heard he lost to the Dolphins today.

[nh_mopar_fan]

Yeah, they beat the Pats last December in Miami as well.

Last season was a mjor disappointment for us Pats fans, we lost to Denver in the playoffs. That's a good season for the Fish.

You Fish fans remember the playoffs, don't ya?

[hemi68charger]

Well, if we're going to be historians,,,,, then,,,,,,,,, remember "UNDEFEATED!!!!"

[nh_mopar_fan]

When your team highlight came 35 years ago....well, what can i say.

[Lostsheep_01]

We just added another team highlight yesterday!  What was that score again?  Hey, Steve P., The Bills are next! No fish oil for you! Come back, one year!

[Chris G.]

The Phins looked pretty good yesterday. My hats to you for pulling off the shutout. 

ps- I'm not an AFC East guy, but are all Pat fans as arrogant in real life, as they are online?

[nh_mopar_fan]

We paid the price for years.

Steve Grogan, Tony Eason, 

It's hard to be humble with all those rings.

sorry.

[hemi68charger]

When your team highlight came 35 years ago....well, what can i say.

UNDEFEATED.... The ONLY one.........   

I knew you could say it.. It's easy..... albeit, it might hurt.........

[nh_mopar_fan]

Hurt?

I was 7.

I don't even remember it.

[hemi68charger]

Hurt?

I was 7.

I don't even remember it.

OK, you got me... I was 9....... But, I do remember it like it was yesterday... 

[Steve P.]

Remember what??  The Dolphins are worse than HITLER............



Squish the fish..........   I wonder if the Fish have all the Bills audibles recorded??     The Bills will rise again... I don't know if the BUCS will!!!   

[69_500]

The Bills are the next team on the hit list.]

Prediction 21 to 13 the Dolphins win.


Thats my thoughts on the game.


I wouldn't say that the team highlights for Dolphins were all 35 years ago. I remember many years that the Pats were the worst team in the AFC East, heck many years the worst in the NFL. Look back that the records of the Dolphins over the past 38 years. If they wind up finishing 8-8 this year, which I think is possible. It would keep them from having their 5th loosing season over that stretch. What other team in the NFL can say that?


Of all NFL coaches, only Shula and the immortal George Halas attained 300 victories. The Colts under Shula enjoyed seven straight winning seasons and in 26 years at Miami, his Dolphins experienced only two seasons below .500. Shula's teams reached the playoffs 20 times in 33 years and won at least 10 games 21 times. In Super Bowl VII, the 1972 Dolphins completed their historic 17-0-0 campaign -- the only perfect season in NFL history -- with a 14-7 win over the Washington Redskins. In 1973, Miami defeated the Minnesota Vikings in Super Bowl VIII to culminate a two-season span in which the Dolphins won 32 of 34 games.

[Steve P.]

I don't remember shiP from 35 years ago. I DO, however, remember last September when the Bills SQUISHED the FISH, 16 to 6...

Ever hear of Tom Brady? He's a pretty good quarterback. You know, if you like guys with 3 SB rings and an MVP trophy.

You are dreaming.

Hmmm...78 passing yards for Brady in a game which he was outperformed by Joey Harrington.  No doubt Brady is a good QB, but he has an excellent team surrounding him.  Put Brady on most any other squad in the NFL, and I would wager he would look good, but not like the QB god Pats fans try to make him out to be.  The defense is what has won games for NE.

If Miami had started Harrington at the beginning of this season, we likely would have won at least 2 more games.  That would have put us head to head with the Pats, and we both know who is playing better football down the stretch.  Not taking anything away from NE, but the Dolphins are very tough and should have taken the AFC East this year. 

[hemi68charger]

Squish the fish..........   I wonder if the Fish have all the Bills audibles recorded??     The Bills will rise again... I don't know if the BUCS will!!!   

Either people have selective memory or are revisionist-historians..... Not to say you are, but Hilter? Come on... That's a little harsh orrrrr, is it just that the truth hurts !!!!!!  Go 'Fins!!!!  Fish !!!! or whatever non-fans wish to call us.......  hehehehe

I'll have to go back and see who drove the team down the field with less than 2 minutes against STL to set up that game winning FG.

He's surrounded by a great team? nSure. Not many teams will win 3 Super Bowls in 4 years with a lousy team.

How many pro-bowl WR have the Patriots had? Yet Brady has always had one of the highest QB ratings in the league. He's got a Super Bowl MVP and 3 rings and none of it is his doing?

Please.

SB XXXIX
Brady 23-33, 2 TD, 0 INT, hits 7 different receivers. Pats win 24-21.

SB XXXVIII
Brady 32-48 3 TD, 1 INT, 354 yds, 6 different receivers Pats win 32-29

But it was the defense.....

No team is ever going to win a damn thing in this league with Joey Harrington as their QB. Not now, not ever, never.

The stupidest move of the off-season was the fish going after a questionable Culpepper when Brees was available. I don't know if you've noticed, but Brees is doing kinda ok in NO.

[hemi68charger]

No team is ever going to win a damn thing in this league with Joey Harrington as their QB. Not now, not ever, never.

That's what people said about Doug Williams before he ventured off to Washington...

Also, yes, N.E. has three rings to their name out of 4 appearances..... Ok, cool........ But, Lordy.. Miami's been there 5 times, the only undefeated season, had the all-time winning Coach, Hall-of-Famers out the waazooo... ohhh, let's not forget Marino....... Sooooooo, Miami's right up there with the elite of football, like Green Bay, Pittsburgh and Dallas........... Sooooooo, I think the N.E pedestal needs to be trimmed a bit.........

[nh_mopar_fan]

One word that no one will use with the Fish:

Dynasty.

3 Championships in 4 years qualifies.

[Lostsheep_01]

If the word "dynasty" makes that 21-0 easier to take, then so be it.

[nh_mopar_fan]

Enjoy January....

[Lostsheep_01]

and that loss where your team didn't even eek out a field goal, included an appearance by that same Brady, although he didn't stay in for all 4 quarters...

[nh_mopar_fan]

Somehow, we'll try to get over it this week as we clinch the division and head into the playoffs.

Get those tee times scheduled for January....

[Lostsheep_01]

I'd worry less about our January and more about your own.  I'd rather not make the playoffs than get bounced 1st round!

[nh_mopar_fan]

I'd worry less about our January and more about your own.  I'd rather not make the playoffs than get bounced 1st round!

Then you've been very satisfied over the last 30 years or so.

[Lostsheep_01]

Now it's your turn to get used to it...all this trash talk doesn't change last Sunday's score...oops, didn't mean to use a word your patsys couldn't even dream of doing last week.

[Lostsheep_01]

and we embarrassed you guys last December 20th on MNF, so all could watch!

[nh_mopar_fan]

That's yet to be determined. We'll have to wait and see.

One thing is for sure, you gotta get to the playoffs to have a chance.

You want to hang your hat on a regular season win, you be happy with that.

We like regular season wins. The real season starts in 3 weeks. Two bad you won't be there.

But, at least you'll have that win during the season to look back on after your season is all done in 3 weeks.

[Lostsheep_01]

If they were a  Superbowl caliber team, you wouldn't have to defend a loss like that.

[nh_mopar_fan]

Where did I defend the loss?


If you had anything else, you would be talking about more than a regular season win.

[Lostsheep_01]

21-0 is all I need to know that your team is on the way down to the bottom again.

[nh_mopar_fan]

Maybe so.

We'll see. No one can stay at the top forever.

Congrats on your win.

Good luck in trying to make the playoffs, maybe next year.

[Lostsheep_01]

I'm sorry, you didn't defend the loss but you did type, "No team is ever going to win a damn thing in this league with Joey Harrington as their QB. Not now, not ever, never."
Yeah, I guess handing your beloved Superbowl contenders a shutout while SCORING 21 points doesn't count as a win.

[nh_mopar_fan]

Oh well, let me clarify that for you.

I meant Super Bowls, championships.

Others knew what I mean when they replied back with the Doug Williams example.

Even then, thats not defending the loss. They lost, badly.

Again, congrats!

[Lostsheep_01]

What are they gonna do in the playoffs when they meet better defenses and Brady can't even get 'em in field goal range?  The opposition gonna score for them too?

[nh_mopar_fan]

Like the Bears?

I guess we'll see.

They have a pretty good coach, probably the best in the league.

It'll be a good test.

[Lostsheep_01]

Yeah, we beat them too.  I think that you guys have a great coach, too bad the players have to actually execute his genius.

[Steve P.]

Hahahahahahahahahaha.......  I needed a good laugh. Tears all over the keys.. Ok, maybe HITLER was a tad harsh..   (MAYBE)........

[Steve P.]

GO BILLS.......


SQUISH THE FISH

[nh_mopar_fan]

GO BILLS.......

and take the Sabres with you....

[Steve P.]

Hahaha....

[nh_mopar_fan]

Congrats to the Fish for the 2nd shutout in two weeks....

HA!

Joey Harrington is the man!

[69_500]

Can't win them all.

Then again they did beat the Pat's, and I'm still holding out to see them beat the Colts in person on the 31st. Have 6 tickets to that game.

[nh_mopar_fan]

Will Brown be back for that? They should be able to run the ball down their throats.

[TheGhost]

Oh, good Lord...


21-0 Victory over the Pats last week.

21-0 Loss to the Bills this week.



We've just been too damn inconsistent this year.  I'm actually glad that I was unable to catch a Fins game for once this year.

At least, tell me that the Cowgirls lost.  Please?

[Steve P.]

THAT'S RIGHT......  Da Bills.........   


The Bucs game was pretty good today. At least what I saw of it. I spent the day working on my trailer and forgot the game was on. My buddy called and said they were making a comeback.. I turned it on and could not believe my eyes.. Too bad they lost in OT.

[nh_mopar_fan]

Who'll coach the Fins to a 6-10 record next year?

[Steve P.]

Hell,,, they did better than the Bucs............

[hemi68charger]

Well, I guess we're about to write another Chapter in the Dolphins biography.... Saban's gone !!!!!!!!

[69_500]

Saban is gone from the Dolphins.
Cowher is gone from the Steelers,
Greene is gone from Arizona,


Who is the next one to go?

Dungy if they don't win this year? Shottenheimer if his team chokes in the playoffs once again?

[Chris G.]

Not that I care, but the fact that the Dolphins even allowed this jackass to not be fired is beyond me. Unless you were a complete retard, you knew Saban was leaving. I would have dumped him with 2 games to go, but whatever. Maybe you guys can get Ricky Williams back and make your team a little more fun to talk about. 

While I'm going, I also think the Lions have pretty much assured us that they have the worst organization of all time. How many years does it take to realize Millen is a complete loser? Holy Christ this team is slow.

And...I wanna know why college coaches are considered to be NFL coaches? Fat boy from ND is always mentioned for the Giants job...why? He is garbage, and so is his program.  The whole universe is upside down. 

[69_500]

I'll agree, I can't believe that they kept him, when he said he was even considering the job in Alabama. If yuor coach is thinking of leaving, give him a foot in the backside, and get him out the door. You don't need people who aren't commited to your origanization.

[nh_mopar_fan]

Weiss is playing the hand that has been dealt him in ND. Unlike most of the other top tier school, ND actually has some academic requirements that they will not overlool to land some stud player who can;t spell his name. That's a huge thing to overcome. The schol was willing to look the other way when Holtz was there and they had some success. Without that, they never get the better recruits. The only thing he has to offer is that, if he's a recruiting a QB, he can claim being Brady's metor in QB on his resume.

I don't see him staying there for his entire contract but the fact that the program sucks isn't his doing.

I hate ND.

I'm willing to bet that Weiss would be successful in the NFL.
