Lets see how many clowns play in the circus tonight....

I'll tell you one clown.  Coach Flores.  It was clear that German was touched while he was down and therefore his scamper for the first down was invalid but Flores is too much of a pussy to throw the challenge flag

And lo and behold, down goes Beef Brisket

Ooh, the Dolphins D only gave up 3 points on the opening drive.  That may be their best defensive series of the entire night.  :)   

I saw that and the no call pass interference on Gisecki and I already shut it off. I know how this ends.

Only 9 games into his NFL career and Holland may already be the best defensive player on the team. 

Hello ground would you like a pass

This team is still in it despite being outplayed

I just don't understand how this offense can be so bad.

Looked like pass interference, but he caught the ball anyway

Lol 3-3

Blew a huge opportunity because of that holding call

He's really good, will soften the blow next year when we trade Xavien.

Of course right after I insulted the defense they started playing great.  LOL

We actually have the lead on a Super Bowl contender at the half.

Very surprising

Hey guys, anything can happen. But I want to remind you about how our halftime adjustments compare with our opponents halftime adjustments. Now go take a shot of liquor and go to bed. You probably don't want to see the anymore.

Probably

Might see Tua. Hope JB is ok.

Down goes Brisket, down goes Brisket (in my Cosell voice)

WTF, Flores. Even the announcers are wondering what the hell is wrong with you.  If Brissett was well enough to come back into the game, why would you put Tua in.  Tua is either well enough to start or he isn't well enough to play at all.   

Flores is out of his element.

Too bad we can't score. We would be blowing them out and the game would be almost over.

I know a lot of you were down on the Dolphins drafting Jaelan Phillips, but other than a couple of hiccup games, he is getting better pretty much every game.  Not saying he is going to be great, but I think he can be a very disruptive rusher and he does a solid job of setting the corner on running plays.  

I did not see that ball hit the ground

I have been ragging on Flories, but that was an excellent challenge because the Ravens were up to the line to run the next play really fast and there was no time for the booth guy to look at the play and call down to Flores on whether or not to challenge. 

Do you only watch football games for the penalties?  That seems to be the only thing you ever care about.   

That wasn't a penalty

THAT was

Why not go wildcar?

Great play, if it was not illegal

Truly pathetic when our RG runs a better screen than our RB.

LOL, maybe Robert Hunt can take the roster spot of Fragile Fuller or Delicate Devante Parker at WR.   

I didn't say it was.  I asked you if penalties are the only thing you care about in a football game. 

We're winning, but I have a bad feeling in the pit of my stomach.

Motherfucking Howard again

Alright!

Y'all quit pissing on my boy Howard now.   LOL   

Is it just me or have we seen situations like this play out badly in the past. Hope the defense can keep it up

He did redeem himself

With Miami nothing is certain until 0:00

Absolutely the correct decision by Flores not to go for it on 4th and 1 right there.  The defense has played lights out, but the OL has still been getting pushed backwards all night.  So the odds of them even making 1 yard there were pretty slim.  Defense is dominating so punt the ball and make the Ravens beat your defense. 

Rotten call

If you were referring to the call against Baker, you are wrong yet again.  The call was made in accordance with how the rule is written.  The problem is that the rule is terrible.

Are you guys going to join me in picketing the NFL?

Why don't you start smaller and boycott The Dolphins Make Me Cry for 10 or 20 years. 

Good to see them having fun and playing like they actually give a damn.

He will of course come up with some bullshit excuse, but Flores has a lot of explaining to do as to why he didn't start Tua in this game.  He has made throws of every distance and the finger has CLEARLY not inhibited him in this game.  

Because He never wanted him and is sabotaging him.

Finally beat the Ravens

I'm pretty happy to admit how wrong I was about how I thought this game would go.  I never imagined for even a moment that the Dolphins would not only win, but they would put up an absolutely dominating defense against a truly explosive Raven offense. 

God damn Dolphins make you sweat until 0:00 on the clock. At least we finally beat a good team. Now we must move onward to lose to the Jets 🤣🤣🤣

It would be self defeating for Flores to do that, but god damn it sure does seem like you are right about that sometimes. 

I can see a tackle eligible play in Hunt's future. He's a gazelle.

I was only down on him due to injury history and questions about motivation. Talent wise, he can be amazing and I thought he has done very well this season so far for a rookie. That's what everyone overlooks, rookies aren't supposed to play like 9 time Pro Bowlers from Day 1.

It's very obvious at this point he doesn't want him but by sabotaging him, he gets to say "I need to stay on for another year because our QB sucks. Get me Watson and I can win for you". Grier gets to say the same thing and our idiot owner seems like he believes it.

From this game forward, if Tua ended the season Top 10 in QB Rating for the final 8 games, I still think they try to dump him.

Nothing would surprise me from the Dolphins but I sure hope you are wrong. 

This season is mirroring 2011.   Put themselves in a deep hole, then decide to start winning by taking desperate measures.   I can only hope it ends the same way... with Flores and Greer out on their asses.

If Flores was sabotaging Tua he would've left Austin Jackson at left tackle.  That move alone should dispel any idea of a sabotaging conspiracy.

That was an emotional win, but it's difficult to get excited about what this team does when it does good things in ways that are unlikely to be replicated consistently, and that reflect a balance between luck and skill that leans toward the "luck" side.

Last night two of the three most impactful plays in the game were a fumble returned nearly 50 yards for a touchdown and an interception on a 10-yard pass into the end zone.  Those two plays accounted for 12 expected points by themselves, which were entirely the difference in a 22-10 game.  Obviously that game could've gone much differently if those two plays had gone differently.  You don't want your ability to beat teams to hinge on things that are unusual and unlikely.  You want it to hinge on things you can do reliably week in, week out.

How were those plays accomplished?  By blitzing the safeties a larger number of times than for any DB in any game since the Next Gen era began in 2018 and those things started being measured.

For every game like that one there will be a vastly higher number that don't involve such plays and are therefore much more likely to be losses.

Honestly .. I don't really care right now. As a long suffering fan I'm going to enjoy this moment as long as I can.

I can certainly understand that.
