Week 13 update

After a week 12 win over the 49ers, which capped off a Miami Dolphins six game winning streak. It all came to an end on Sunday when the Dolphins went to Baltimore to play the Ravens. The game was projected to be really close, but it was a complete and utter disappointment. The final score of the game was a 38-6 blowout, with the Ravens beating the Dolphins. The worst part about this, is that the Ravens are my roommates favorite team. And I may or may not have lost some cash this Sunday.

Miami Dolphins update

If someone were to tell me that when the Dolphins started to season 1-4 that they would end up making the playoffs, I would have slapped them. Here's the thing, if the playoffs started today, they would be in the playoffs. How? It's simple. Over the last 6 game span, they have not lost one single game. Yes, The Miami Dolphins. Last game, with a matchup against the 1-9 San Fransisco 49ers, the Dolphins one by a mere 2 yards. Many believe they are a mediocre team with a weak end of the year schedule. But does it really matter in the NFL? I mean any team could beat any team. As long a they can avoid losing easy win games, expect the Dolphins to be playing in the post season.

Week 11 Roundup

   Crazy week 11 for the Miami Dolphins. After falling back in the game vs the Chargers, the fourth quarter became crunch time for the fins. After making incredible plays heading into the quarter, they forced opposing quarterback Phillip Rivers to throw four interceptions in the final quarter. First year Dolphin Kiko Alonzo, who was acquired through a trade with the Eagles, sealed the game with a go ahead pick six at the end of the fourth quarter. Next week they play the easy opponent of the 49ers. Things should get easy!

The Dreaded Bye Week

       This past week, the Dolphins were scheduled for the mandatory NFL bye week. Also known as the longest week of the year for any NFL football fans. It's the one week of the season where your favorite team doesn't play, and it's just simply an off week. Here's the exiting news, the Dolphins play a divison rival in the New York Jets. It's a huge stepping stone for increasing the likelihood of making playoffs this year and a big step for running back Jay Ajayi to see if he can continue to improve on his stellar last two games.

                                                     What in the world is happening..
 After starting the season with the guarantee of it ending in a rebuilding season, the Dolphins find themselves on a 2 game win streak and only one game under .500. You, as I sure a hell did, may ask yourself, how in the world is this happening. It's because of Jay Ajayi. Yes... Jay Ajayi. the running back who found himself at home the first week of the season because of poor play. Ajayi is a second year back out of Boise State. He has ran for over 400 yards in two games! Seriously incredible numbers. The problem is that i've seen this happen many times before for multiple teams. A player will storm onto the scene, then suddenly the flame will burn out and the problem arises again. If Ajayi can keep running the ball like he as been, can you spell playoffs?

It's a Christmas miracle! The Dolphins actually won! But is that good? Well, it's a little bit of a sticky situation. They have finished either 7-9 or 8-8 almost every year in recent memory. So them winning this game, (where they would usually win anyway, just to screw up a good draft pick). In this years draft, the talent is clearly superior to others in recent draft history. Players like Jabrill Peppers, Deshaun Watson, and Dalvin Cook top the charts. If they continue to win, no harm done. But if the win and loss record remains balanced, it hurts the team in the long run. The next few weeks are very crucial in deciding the teams future moving forward. Cross your fingers.

Well it's official. The Dolphins are the worst team in the NFL. Even coming from a fan of the organization, I know it's true. After coming into week 5 of the NFL with a record of 1-3, one of the worst records in the league. With many questions surrounding quarterback Ryan Tannehill, he came into the game on the hot seat with many things to prove. It's safe to say he showed zero signs of progression, not one, not even a glimpse of hope. In the middle of the Dolphins getting rolled over by the Tennessee Titans, fans started to chant, "We want Matt Moore!". Yes, the Dolphins are at that point in the season. It's safe to say that Tannehill's job will not be his after the upcoming draft. It's time to tank.

                                                              Dolphins week 4

Wow. A true embarrassing show. the game was the "Color rush" game between the Dolphins and the Bengals. Dolphins started great with a DEEP ball to Kenny stills to take the lead! The touchdown happened in the first 5 minutes of the game. This would be the last time the Dolphins would score a touchdown, actually even score a point for that matter. Ryan Tannehill, the teams starting quarterback for the past 5 years coming from Texas A&M, is on the hot seat. He has shown little to no improvement while in the NFL and probably won't be on the team next year. If we lose next week, safe to say this team is a dumpster fire.

                                           

                                                     MIAMI DOLPHINS WEEK 3
              Yikes. The last game between the Cleveland Browns and the Miami Dolphins is something for the record books... if they were recording stats for the two least hopeful teams in the entire league. The Cleveland Browns, a team entering the game with a record of 0-2, was set the face off against the Dolphins, (Also 0-2). The game went exactly how you would expect it to go, it went into overtime due to the fact of the Cleveland Browns missed three combined game winning field goals. Even though my beloved Phins came out with the W, it hardly felt like a win. The Dolphins beat barely beat the worst team in the entire NFL, probably the worst franchise in all the NFL, and we barely won. Makes me wonder where my favorite team stands in league rankings.

Thursday Night Football

This Thursday night featured two teams from the AFC East division, The Buffalo Bills and the New York Jets. Both teams are coming off an 0-1 start to open the regular season. The loser of this game would find themselves in quite an early predicament starting the season 0-2. That team happened to be the Buffalo Bills, whom shortly after the game fired their offensive coordinator. The jets QB Ryan Fitzpatrick threw for 374 yards and 1 TD, as veteran running back Matt Forte totaled 100 yards and 3 TD. Another very interesting feature is that this was the NFL's first color rush game of the year!

Today was the first day of the year for the Miami Dolphins and the rest of the NFL to open up the regular season of football. Today also marked the day where 50% of NFL football fans will go to bed slightly depressed, clearly based upon their teams performance. I just happened to be one of those fans on this particular night. my favorite team, the Miami Dolphins, lost to one of the best teams in the NFL by two points..in the last 30 seconds of the game. Super depressing. Being a fan of a sport is somewhat of an odd science. You see, you have no control of the outcome and are just a small portion of a larger than life organization, but it's just so easy to get attached. Next week should be different.
