  1. I’m not confident about the game Sunday. OLine subs, no Walker… no Tua. Rodgers may want to come out slinging it. The deep middle will be susceptible… IMO.

  3. Agree with Dave… start fast, Jets will crumble. But… if it’s the reverse.. fast Jets start, with Denver up, shouldn’t Mc D pull his starters.. at least Achane, Brooks, Calais, Seiler, Hill, Waddle, Jonnu, etc.

  4. If the Fins don’t change the FO, anything that happens in 2025 is a crapshoot. At that point, don’t draft a QB. If. New GM is in place, the GM should have every right to draft a QB first round if he has one he loves. I’m biased towards Cam Ward. Why… because media points out some so called flaws exactly the same as those ascribed to Mahomes. Ward’s arm is up there with Matt Stafford’s as to strength. Better than Stroud’s. He is also durable.

  6. So ask yourself the question… would McD with a TJStroud produce better results? He still call some bad plays, screw up time management, abandon the run game at the first sign of panic. There are 3 QBs in the draft as good as Stroud

  8. I like these two on a show together. Poupart is cool and Hyde tells it like it is. I like Hyde because he tells it like it is not to sell but because this organization is crap so he tells it like it is. It would be nice if Omar actually did the same.

  11. As much as I love Chop Robinson , I think that it would have been better to have drafted a quarterback . I thought that the Dolphins were going to trade up in the draft and snatch " Bo Nix " . When Nix went to Denver , I knew the Dolphins would take a defensive player in the draft . And as I mentioned , I love Chop Robinson but the Dolphins should have taken a quarterback .

  12. We need a gm that understands the importance of an ol, ours obviously does not. We could have had Dalton Risner when he is balling out in Minnesota. We are trying to get by with a makeshift cheap ol. Its never going to work until we have an adequate ol. Hopefully terron armstread can be healthy if we make it to the playoffs. We should draft an ot and og with our first two picks.

  13. I guess people are tired of saying we need a better ol so instead they want to blame Tua. We had the same problem with Ryan tannahill. We had a great rg and let him go because we didn't want to pay him.

  20. We have made the playoffs the last 2 years and have a shot to do it again after missing the playoffs for years and years. We have a shot in every game we play in. How quickly you all forget just how mediocre and bad this team was for decades. And the reason we are competitive is Tua and McDaniel. The first signs of adversity, everyone wants to blow the whole thing up? Do you know how long it will take us to get back to this spot were we to do that? Everyone wants to say super bowl or bust but you have absolutely no clue how easy it is to go 3-15 like the Browns and be stuck in that quagmire for years.
