2011 Perspective I - The Miami Dolphins and New York Jets Rivalry

Been a while since I could read something unifying on the front page!

For the most part, my entire life as a fan of the Dolphins, they have beat the crap out of the Jets. It is really that simple. I always considered the Jets as a win.

I absolutely can’t stand, loathe the Buffalo Bills! They are the team that kept Dan Marino, my favorite player of all time, and the Phins from going to the Super Bowl and potentially winning one. Even when the Dolphins would beat the Bills in the regular season, the Bills would always dominate in the playoffs. I despise everything Buffalo!

The Pats are a team that I have come to loathe they last 10 years. Again, in the 70’s, 80’s and 90’s they were the Phins punching bag (except for ’85 when Tony freaking Eason beat the Phins in the AFC Championship game). Now, with Brady and Belicheck, their domination of the Phins have led me to despise them.

I usually target a couple of games a year to go see when they can fit into my work schedule. The two teams that I always target are the Bills and the Pats. Those are the teams that I like watching my Phins beat when I am at the game. The Jets, they are just that pussy team from NY that likes to talk tough and find ways to lose to the Phins. It’s hard to hate a bunch of losers!

H.I.S.B.I. !!! (Help, I’m surrounded by idiots) I’m sitting at work, surrounded by a bunch of “Jests” fans. I feel my IQ being sapped from my head every time one of them stroll by my office, (think Dementors from Harry Potter only wearing dark green and a blank expression on their faces.) my only defense being my bright white Dolphins logo shirt, with a lovely Teal collar!

If we only get 2 wins this year, it BETTER be agains’t the Jests…

I was so fired up after reading that post I went out into the living room and kicked my dog……..he didn’t do anything wrong….I just remember that breed started in New York.
GO PHINS.

This will actually be the first game I get to see this season. I’m grabbing some KFC and some Dr Pepper and bunking down. They piss and breath test asap, so no beer >.>

This is a very talented and well coached club who badly needs to win this game to stay afloat in the AFC playoff hunt.

Offensively we have to play really well on the interior of the offensive line against Sione Pouha, Mohammad Wilkerson and Mike Devito and get Daniel Thomas going early and often. Its very well documented how the Jets interior has struggled this season stopping the run. Rex Ryan has talked about all week how hard the Jets have worked on technique, fundamentals and maintaining gap assignments from their linebacker corps the past few weeks. we can not allow them to stop the run with their base 3-4 package and only Bart Scott and David Harris in the box. We have very tough and skilled run blocking players on the interior of our line and we have to show it tonight. If we can pound the rock right at them early and often it will alleviate alot of the pressure on our passing offense and will restrict what Rex Ryan can do from a coverage standpoint.

Obviously Matt Moore has to play a great game and i think it is very important for our offense that Brian Daboll doesnt handcuff him tonight. Moore will make mistakes against the Jets defense tonight. He just will, but we have to let him go out and play. A hard physical running game will force Ryan to peel back his coverages alittle and will allow Matt Moore to make plays. If we restrict Moore however in the passing game too much it will allow the Jets oppurtunities to put more emphasize on our running game and will ultimately maker it harder to move the ball.

This game is going to be huge test on this teams mental toughness and especially Matt Moores. The Jets have a great scheme and they execute it well. It is very possible that Matt Moore makes a critical mistake early. If so it could be very challenging for him to bounce back from it. His demeanor and confidence will be key tonight.

are playing against an awesome talent in the Jets secondary. There has been discussion about where (and on who) Revis will play tonight and it seems the general consensus is that he will move around the field and playe press-man against Hartline, Bess and sometimes Marshall. The Jets dont have the luxery to pin him on Bess in press-man all night because, as some have pointed out, unlike our second game with the Jets last year Hartline is in the lineup tonight. So Rex Ryan as he often does will move Revis around and put him on different receivers. We will also occasionally see him in zone (but not alot, typically they will stick him in press-man on one receiver or another and wipe him away)

Now Revis is a sick talent, but he is only one player and he can only cover one man a play. Which sets the stage for the critical storyline on the outsides The Dolphins receiving corps (predominantly but not exclusively Hartline, Bess, Marshall, Gates) against the remainder of the Jets secondary (Cromartie and Kyle Wilson). Also both Donald Strickland and Isiah Trufant are out tonight. Both of teh mare much more beatable in coverage and have to be attacked when the oppurtunities arise.

However, the last few days I’ve met a few of their fans that were nice folks. However, I think all that is about to change as we are about to head over to the stadium in full on Dolphins colors. I’ll going “old school” tonight,…..busting a tattered T-shirt from the past. 1972 No-Name defense,….it’s a classic. And I’ll be rocking that with a bright orange Dolphins baseball hat, as so they can see me coming.

‘were happy with the field goals but we’ve got to get touchdowns were not good enough down there yet’

What to hate more? The Jets, or “Suck for Luck”?

I’ll be going nuts as usual rooting for my Fins tonight, and hopefully with a win I’ll be killing two birds with one stone. Our first W of the season on MNF over the Jets, and taking us further out of the Suck For Luck sweepstakes…………….

Let’s kick some Jet ass tonight, boys!

leading 30-7 at the end of the third quarter. The Dolphins were celebrating on the sidelines. The game was over. Quarterback Jay Fielder yelled to teammate Jason Taylor, “They ain’t coming back on us!” Taylor yelled back, “Hell no! You kidding? C’mon now!” But come back they did. The Jets rallied, scoring 23 points in the fourth quarter, with Vinny Testaverde firing three touchdowns. The Dolphins, waking up from their shell-shock, put up a touchdown, taking the lead again at 37-30. With just 42 seconds left in the game, Testaverde once again drove the Jets down the field, firing a fourth touchdown of the quarter, this time to tackle-eligible Jumbo Elliot. After being held to just 5 first downs in the first three quarters, the Jets converted 20 in the fourth. The Jets would win on a field goal in overtime, after Fiedler was intercepted. The game would be picked by fans two years later as the greatest Monday Night Football game ever, and set the record for largest fourth quarter comeback in league history.

May he die of AIDS.

and they got all butt hurt because i reminded them that we have beat them in their house three times in a row. People over there seem to be guaranteeing a win tonight. Nothing is guaranteed in this life. I reminded them that as long as they have Dirty Sanchez and a struggling running game, they are beatable. Come on Dolphans! Here is to the beginning of a turnaround, and what better place to start than in NY.

Just let Sanchez throw the ball, that’s what we did and our defense ate them up. What’s up with your game thread?
