And people thought I was crazy
Taking Ronnie Brown in fantasy football this year :)
He’s about to lead me to championships in all 6 of my leagues, just needed to be a little patient with him.

It was seriously real
The Chargers were scoring left and right all season…
I believe, the most any team has on avg this year, but their def was slack….
Our def is real and will improve, our offense needs some work, but it is getting there.

Wow
It wasnt a blowout but that was a great game.
We’ve turned some heads today, and for now atleast the Fins are relevant, we’ve gone from laughing stock to “They’re back!” in just 5 weeks.

the wierd thing is
that after beating the pats and bolts, it’s like,
who’s gonna beat us? the schedule suddenly looks SO beatable
we’ll take the bills and make a run at this division
GO SAN FRAN!!
Football isn't a matter of life and death - it's far more important than that.
Not sure....
I think the Bills may be one of the best in the AFC this season… I think they’re for real…
We’ll take the NYJ next time, and possibly beat NE again at home… but Buffalo scares me
Buffalo hasn't played anyone good
Lets see what happens when we play each other

Buffalo's got a tester today...
cross country trip to play a decent AZ team coming off 2 straight losses…. they’re going to pull out all the stops and it’ll be interesting to see how Buffalo performs.
edwards is out.
losman is playing QB. i don’t think that is a good thing for the bills.

Great Game
Both the o and the d were great in this game, now all we need is special teams… I’m worried everytime they are involved in the game.
I don't know what is the most satisfying in this W ?
The dominant O-line, opening holes, and keeping the pressure off chad’s shoulders
OR
The D, stepping up in the entire second half !!!
I believe that both are making me so hopeful for the future of our franchise !!!
French Dolfan since 1989
special teams was only dark spot
ginn couldnt catch, bess couldnt find daylite, and their punter kicked ass
WHO SAYS WE CANT COMPETE FOR THE AFC EAST TITLE
After 4 weeks I have some answers about our team.
1. The coaching staff is for real these guys know how to coach….
2. Our D can get to the passer and stop the run and they are tough in the Red Zone.
3. Chad comes as advertised. Doesnt put up gawdy numbers but is the most accurate QB in the game and you can add one of the smartest to go along with it.
4. We know who the starting RB is and how well he came back from his injury.
5. Our OL and DL are BEAST.
We are only going to get better………..WHO’S NEXT!!!!!!!!!
looking back at the jets game
you gotta hand it to favre, he got a poor team an away win against what’s proving to be a fantastic young team…
favre may yet prove to be a force in this division… he bothers me
cardinals game was a horrible abberation, then bliss…
Football isn't a matter of life and death - it's far more important than that.
GO PHINS
MADE my hole week it at the end of the game the compentators said the dolphins r back feels great i got my prediction right maybe not on the score so now im 2 for 2 if bills loose we will only be one and a half out of first GO PHINS
you got it buddy
San Fran gets a win……..and the Cards take out the Bills….that would be ultimate wouldn’t it?

YES YES YES YES YES!!!
Just got home…..and I don’t think my feet have touched the ground yet!! What a totally different team we have! I love our new attitude. EVERYONE helped in the win. And my God, Mr. Roth…..take a bow! These aren’t turnover riddled fluke wins either…..we are showing up and playing Miami Dolphin football…….and I LOVE IT!!!!
And good job home crowd, it looked a little empty, but it wasn’t your hearts, you were heard loud and proud on t.v. GOOD JOB!

i'm not sure, but i think most of the stadium pans were done when it was raining.
there may have been some empty seats because people went underneath to wait it out.

ugh
Seriously, dude? Why do you got to do that?
It makes Dolphin fans look like we’re assholes. You went over to their site and not only acted ridiculous but also dropped an “F” bomb? Why would you do that?
It makes us all look bad. I makes Fin fans look bad and members of our little community here look bad.
Ugh
amen Matty
You shake your opponents hand after a good game…..you don’t piss on his leg.

Yeah, dirtbag move.
You pull those kind of stunts all the freakin’ time.

So I have a question for RZAYO (and finxfactor)
How do you like Camarillo now?
i believe you were two of the people saying he shouldn’t be on the team?
Just curious.
-LCFF
OH LEFT U S.O.B
he is surprising me….hes a gamer. we all know we can do better than him next yr…but i like him as a 3rd or 4th guy. ginn stepping up this game was more so what i saw.
cam cam played good…he gets his hands on it and its his

You had a pretty good weekend!

Do you see him more as a Welker type guy now?
He seems to always get open and catch just about anything thrown his way.

So I gotta say that I'm impressed with Roth, Ronnie, Satele and EK
as four guys that I was admittedly less than optimistic about through the first few games.
Matty, i agree, Ronnie is a beast. Satele is looking good, which might be because the whole Oline is shaping up. Same for EK… I say him blocking downfield and he looked hungry to hit someone.
And Roth… what can I say? I think everyone here was wondering if he would make the conversion or be the next “old regime” casualty. The kid can actually be considered a Saban success, even though it makes me cringe to credit that guy with anything good.
Also, don’t know if anyone noticed, but J. Allen was all around the ball on STs. That just may save him. He looks like he is playing good enough on STs to stay on the team and maybe have a chance to develop as a DB.
And final note:
San Diego has scored, 24, 38, 48, 28, in prior games, repectively. Today, the Fins held ’em to 10 points. 10 POINTS!
That by itself is HUGE, and says tons about what the Fins are accomplishing. I would expect to see many “experts” give a hat tip to the Fins this week for shutting down the “high powered” Charger offense.
Congrats to all!
-LCFF
Finsxfactor........that was lame
If you hate it when people come on this site and do the same thing then why turn around and act like an idiot? Is that all a win for us gives us the credit and ability to do? To go on someone else’s site and write stupid trash talk like that? I think if anything, these post-Marino years should have taught us humility so that we know how to appreciate a win and not go about bragging about it. Show some class and integrity, dont be trashy and idiotic.
you're totally right picklescapone
thats why I say we just enjoy the win and not dirty up this fantastic post with junk about him.
High 5 buddy!

just admit that...
…in the post-game celebration that you made a post that you shouldn’t have over on BFTB and you have since edited it.
just for the record.
no one is insulting you little man.
It is just being pointed out that your behavior is inappropriate.
Savvy?

I got an idea finsxfactor, why not man-up and write what you wrote on this site
…….to show how classy it was to the fans of the team you supposedly supported with those comments. You obviously wanted everyone to see it when you posted the link, but now you feel like a moron cause we all didnt cheer you for it.
Great win for the Phins
………this is just another step towards getting this franchise back to respectability.
didn't you just love
the overall attitude and give it your all that they displayed today?
"Not the victory but the action; Not the goal but the game; In the deed the glory."
the goal line stop did it for me
……Overall, that defense is really starting to look bigger and stronger. I think being able to stop the run is the best way to rebuild your defense. As long as our front seven gets pressure on the opposing qb, our secondary looks decent. Fortunately Rivers missed on Jackson deep, cause he was behind the secondary.
ya brah!
that goal line stop was awesome!
The Chargers came to town, and the Fins busted em right in the mouth!

For all of us fans who stood by Miami
That was awesome. Just watching the game center updates on a sports site from my busy job today….that game meant a lot to me.
It doesn’t guarantee playoffs. It doesnt mean we’re back this year for certain. It just feels good, as a guy in Upstate New York (Bills country), who – when they were 1-15, when our RB was the poster boy for smoking dope, when our head coach jumped ship….whenever the chips were down (and they were down a lot) whenever I was asked…..freely admitted his love for a Dolphins team. Never gave up on them.
It feels G.D. GOOD to be a Dolphins fan today, and about as rewarding as it can get! 2 wins does a lot, dont they?
Everybody have a great Sunday too!!!!
One more notable:
The Chargers were held to their fewest points since the final game of the 2005 season when they managed just seven points in a loss to the Broncos.
-LCFF
i am just excited to see how dominant our defense will be in 2-3 years
our youth will get experienced, plus more trifecta draft depth
Ice Ice Baby
Good for you OntheGo
we could hear you on t.v. thats for sure! Knew just when to turn it up and really be part of the game. I agree with what you said regarding Roth, I think he has a fantastic game today

WOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Defense saves the day. I can’t remember when the D stepped up like that. The TD they got was set up by a false start that was not called. The defense didn’t play to the wistle. They let up because the L guard on the bolts false started. That was the only reason they hung around. I wish Ricky would of hit Jammer square on Ronnie’s TD run, lights out!!!! 2 in a row, how sweet. I love it when I can go into work on Monday and talk trash.
Phatfinfan
A negative mention
I do not think that Bess is the returner of the future, what about Ginn? I know that he is a bigger part of the offense, but Bess is not very solid at returning kicks or punts. Not knocking him at receiver. . .I like him, just not as a return man. Do we have any other options?
Phatfinfan
2-2 YES IT'S ONLY BEEN A YEAR
But beating NE & SD in 2/3 weeks is great for the org. peace and love to all of my Oktoberfest brothers and sisters! YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

hellz ya
win win … we will win … dolphins keep this up and win agin …. i love this … we shall return bitchas .. . . . . . its r time to shine…
WOO HOO
I was at the game, sitting in the east end zone, 2 seats from the BACK of the stadium, and Dolphin Stadium was louder than any other game I remember. Not only are the fins back, but so is the home field advantage. The crowd was great today, rain or not. And yea there was empty seats, but I attribute that to the weather, if it’s not rainy the place is jam packed for sure.
I’m still a little drunk and haven’t seen any stats yet, but I’ll get my Gameballs post up sometime tomorrow morning. But wow what a game! The whole stadium had a buzz about it from the opening kickoff until we hit the turnpike on the ride home. We even mercilessly harrassed a Jet fan in our section wearing a Brett Favre (yuck) jersey. Great experience, already looking forward to trying to get tix for the Ravens game!
On this team, we are all united in a common goal: to keep my job.
-- Lou Holtz
Awesome
I was waiting for you to post and see how your day went! As I’ve said in other post here, on t.v. the crowd was awesome. And maybe it was just me…..but it seemed a little louder when they were near the east end zone……..lol!
Glad you had a great time Nicky!

That's Good To Hear
If Miami plays this way hopefully we can tip the Florida fan base scale in Miami’s favor… It’s annoying to see all these out-of state-ers move to South Florida bringing there team with them. Really messes up any kind of home field advantage when half the stadium is rooting for the other team.

hell yeah!
that bugs the heck outta me, seeing all those jets fans show up at home games.
but to be fair, when miami plays the bolts out here, half the stadium is filled with Fin fans. I go to any game they play in S.D.

i gotta give props to the O-Line and Roth..
they seriously had a great game today, and if it wasn’t for our O-Line doing so well, ronnie wouldn’t be having the numbers he has now.
the dolphins are seriously looking like a team that’s a contender for the playoffs!
GO PHINS!
YAHOOOOOOOBUCKAROO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Closing seconds,theCOACH,the TEAM,the FANS,I felt lust like they won the Superbowl.And finally the announcers are giving up some credit! ROTH what can ya say,he was a man posessed.
