The 2011 NFL regular season comes to a close tonight with one last game - the Dallas Cowboys at the New York Giants. This game is for everything. The winner goes to the playoffs as the NFC East champions. The loser goes home for the winter.

Interestingly, since the league expanded to a 16 game schedule in 1978, no team has ever won the NFC East with fewer than 10 wins (excluding the 1982 strike season). The winner of tonight's game, and the NFC East, will have 9 wins.

Enjoy the game. Tomorrow officially starts playoff season - without Miami once again. But, at least it's without the Jets as well.

I hope the Giants win
Rams fire Spagnuolo and GM Devaney
Well they have actually been fired yet.

A report is stating that they are to be fired.

Ah ok well "Black Monday" will have many firings im sure
But hes right.

there is no way that the report is inaccurate.

Mark Dominik and Raheem Morris are also both probably done in Tampa.
Well that didn't take long

He’ll probably be hired as Eagles DC before he goes to bed tonight. Spags that is… Let’s just hope a New HC in STL doesn’t want to bring in a new QB..

Interesting how Dungy said Indy may choose RGIII over Luck.. Who knows

Well, Indy has had a long string of crappy drafts

So it wouldn’t be shocking.

That would ruin everything
Wouls
Would it?

We’d actually have a shot at Luck.

We have no shot at Luck.
Then the Rams would draft him
We don't know that.
It would be nice to be able to draft Luck
If you could

Would you take Griffin and Floyd together over Luck alone?

I would...

Floyd is a beast and Griffin might end up better than Luck. Even if he doesn’t, Griffin can still be very good and having Floyd and Marshall would be nasty (assuming Marshall wasn’t involved with the trade.)

That would be EPIC!
Marshall, Floyd, Bess, Clay, Bush at Griffin's disposal = very dangerous
I think Luck will be very good but he will give defenses bigger headaches especially

if he has a ton of weapons.

Sorry he being Griffin.
and his running ability
Well Luck has that as well. In fact if you look at their careers Lucks rushing

numbers compare fairly well with Griffins. But of course its only Griffin that gets labeled as the run first guy. Hmm I wonder why that is.

Because of his socks of course!
LOL Yeah that must be it.
But Griffin is considerably faster than Luck...

and I think that will help him in the NFL.

Oh yeah. Hes a much better athlete and of course a former track star.
Size is more important imo

See Newton vs White.

That is true...

Newton is LB size. But Griffin isn’t as small as White. I still wouldn’t want him running too much though. Or Luck for that matter.

And Griffin will bulk up. He is young. Younger then White when he came out.
If he could get up to 230, that would be good
Whats that about 15 lbs from where hes at now?
I thought he was 220...

either way, it’s not a lot for him to gain and still maintain good speed.

Not really. He has elite track speed so if its put on

in the form of muscle and he works with a trainer to work on his speed then he will be fine. I saw Michael Johnson (he has a big training center here) talking about working with these kids before the combine and how he is able to add size (in the 20 lb range for some) and muscle and actually make them faster. Of course he might be the guru of doing so.

230 would make him a beast

and if he can maintain 4.3 speed, he’ll be VERY dangerous.

Yes. It can be done so long as he add the

muscle in the right way to the right places. If I were him I would totally hire Johnson to prep me. Besides he is only about 2 hours from Baylor so its a good fit. Suh is one of the guys that benefited from working with Johnson last year. Of course Suh needs to learn to not act like a dick more than anything.

He's just ... young and aggressive
And an asshole that hurts his team with

the lack of control of his emotions.

Matt Stafford also eclipsed the 5000 yards passing mark
Eli Manning has a chance if he throws for 413+ yards
Wow. Imagine what Marino's numbers would be if he could have played in this era.
Who was 2nd among the 1980s?

I’d like to see how much better Marino’s ’84 season was compared to other single season totals in that era

I don't know. Probably Elway.
Brees' average compared to contemporaries was higher

Than Marion’s.

Fackin auto correct
Dan Fouts
4,802 yards in 1981
Ah thanks for the answer sir

So that’s still a lot for that era i guess

I'm old enough

To have seen Fouts in his prime throw for a lot of those yards.

No kiding

Although I hate quoting Berman, he said something to the effect that looking back it makes Marino’s record all that more impressive.

6000 yards... easy
Not too long ago people were wondering

whether or not it was too soon to call him a bust.

Yeah because fans are not willing to allow a QB to develop any more.

You have one or two guys come in and have success right off the bat and then fans think that is now the way it should be done.

JT's postgame locker room speech

http://www.miamidolphins.com/media/videos/Jason-Taylor-Locker-Room-Speech/55cdf49e-feea-4fe3-86fa-fb4e1dd615e1

Thank you for everything that you have given us fans and the community of S. Florida, JT!
Hope to see him back on the Dolphins sideline someday
More likely to see ZT then JT. ZT wants to return to the NFL as a scout and JT wants to do something with TV or in movies.
Ok I understand it's an important factor but not even 2 minutes into the game and I've heard Romo's hand mentioned 23487 times

Is Collinsworth afraid they won’t be able to have fun together after the game now or something? Gosh, enough please

Dez Bryant got a nice release on that pass
Hes the best fist half WR in the game. In the second half he is no where to be found.
This game reminds me of two mules kicking around a turnip.
I think it's the announcers, they are so dead!
Great punt! The coffin corner kick is a dead art!
Getting better with that Pasco catch and run.
Victor Cruz strikes again
What's the score?
7-0... Cruz just scored a long TD pass
Time to watch the other Ryan shit himself
Rob has done far less than Rex.

I wish just one of these Phins fans that want Rob as our new HC would explain to me why. He has had once defense rank better then 14th and all the rest have been a pile of such.

Time for Romo and his hand to answer that score
I keep seeing billboards for vassectomies out here

I wonder if the Universe is speaking to me.

NO!
Speaking from experience.
Ok what gives here, I've been trying to post another reply to the "How Will Miami Draft in 2012, first round?" fanpost and it keeps telling me to wait
Looks like it has been deleted
Cruz just highlighted a glaring need for the Phins - dynamic WR.

The Phins don’t have one WR that can do what Cruz just did, take a short pass, turn the corner and then out run everyone for a TD.

Get the QB, then get him another couple of weapons like Cruz.

Gates may be that guy...

We shouldn’t give up him yet.

Should he have been utilized more so we could have a better idea going into the offseason?
It's possible

We should know more about him with TC starts

Gates may have the speed, but does he have the size to be an every down WR?
He's no smaller than Wallace or Cruz or any other slot type WR
The only dynamic play I can even remember

in 5 years was one of our 4th stringers in Oakland last year.

Marshall, Hartline, and Bess get caught on that play.
Phins pick 9th

It’s official. We can’t surpass the Panthers, I did the math.

We can still trade up from there

Nothing worth drafting at 9 anyway unless Coples or Floyd is there.

Peter Griffin style?
I take that back

It boils down to a coin flip for the 8th spot. Panthers and Phins have the same strength of schedule. Miami has the better conference record, BUT, that tiebreaker doesn’t count if they’re not in the same conference.

Managed to get a seat without a working outlwt

Phone won’t last long

Battery back up! Great investment! Especially the one that takes AA's which you can find anywhere cheap.
Probably a good idea. Droid Razor obliterates battery.
Yeah my Droid blows through battery too. Amazon.com is your best bet. You can get a universal one there on the cheap.
At least I won't be chewing through my data

I’m over halfway and I reset every 21st

Use that wifi bro. I have clear interent and I have the hotspot so if I go out of town I can take it with me and it

works everywhere.

Where are you ststioned at now Fox?
Getting ready to go to Oki and get deployed to Afghanistan
Good luck man, keep your ass down and your head lower, lol.
I'm going with 1st MAW as admin

I’ll be fine.

Be safe and good luck!

Check in to the site if and when you can. Let us know you are alright.

This^^^^^^^^^^
This some more^^^^^^^^^^^
14-0 G-Men nice nice
I'm glad we resigned JT this past off-season

but I really wish we had also signed Kiwanuka as well. I wish we had drafted JPP instead of Misi, although I’m glad we have Odrick too.

I wish we could get some ligit inside info on what the Dolphins actually plan on doing for the draft.

I can’t stand the thought of being on the edge of my seat with this for 3 months (or at least 2 when FA starts up)

That stuff won't actually get fired up until February or so

Once we know who will be entering the draft, then we’ll get some ideas. You can bet we will be scouting every QB available.

Combine will be late February also...

that’s a good time for us to focus on that. We need to rest up so we can be refreshed for next season. LOL

We will get a better idea once the head coach and staff is in place.

For instance, if the Phins hire someone planiing to run a west coat offense, you can bet the Phins will be in the Matt Flynn derby. Getting the coach right is the first step, Then FA, then the draft. Don’t get worked up about the draft until the other pieces fall into place.

How is this site during the winter months in general?

I’m sure it may be more active this time around with new HC talk, draft, etc.

It gets a bit slow but the di hards are always around.
OK sounds good
So shall we see you around?
Well depends on who some of those die hards may be

Heh heh no just kiddin. Hell yeah, I just wasn’t sure if I’d be alone at the party

Its just me and Nicky. You in?
AHH That's all i need!
It really is!
Yessir!

Oh and a hint of beavah would be nice too

Beaver is around but he usually goes to Boliva for a few weeks somewhere there in

the middle of the off season.

Don't be mean to the noob's TCP, LOL!
LOL I'm not being mean. I like the kid.
Threating him with Nicky is not mean,lol
Nicky is all talk and zero threat to anyone. Hell hes only like 36 inches tall.
I know, just razzing you.
That sounded a bit wierd !!
Your weird!
So
Dont tell everbody
Everyone knows.
yikes
I know. Its ok because Dave>Nicky so you still have that going for you.
The site is always active. It will be an unbelievable offseason with a ton of debates.

Just like the NFL, thephinsider.com doesn’t have an offseason! :)

sounds good to me!
Lots of poorly written fanposts

By people with one comment.

This too! ^^^^
Hopefully that will go down now.
Justin Tuck cannot stay healthy. Or get healthy
He needs to eat more Subway.. LOL
LOL for sure. Strahan needs to feed that man
lol he's way past the LoS
what the heck just happened?
whats up guys

Go g-men

I asked this question to duke earlier, but I want more opinions. Would this be a good trade for the 3rd or 4th pick to get RGIII? Our 1st, starks and next years 2nd?

Yes. Yes it would.
how bout if i switch the 2nd for a 3rd, or maybe someone like hartline
If they would take hartline, I'd trade him in a second

especially if we draft Quick also.

exactly

See my response to tcps comment below

If you pull that off I make you GM of the year.
it wont happen. Ireland will find a way to screw it up
Oh good more negative talk but that is of course your specialty.
really? i'm not being negative on purpose, i just dont think it will happen
Based on what?
well in the recent past, have we made a huge move up the draft?
He has had one full year of control. If you base it on that then you have zero idea what he will do.

Do you think he is a total moron? I mean he has an owner that has thrown down the order to get a QB so what do you think Ireland is going to do at all cost to save his own ass?

i'm just hoping for some common sense about what we give to move up if we have to. Ya know. :S
e.g. i wouldnt have given up that much for Julio Jones last year.
I think he wont sell the house but he will do what he has to in order to get some new blood in the door.
yeah fair point.
never mind. just an opinion.
Thats fair enough but still wondering what that is based on.

It was bold to go and trade for Marshall so why would he not do the same for a QB. I think he does what he has to this time around because its his ass on the line. Playing it safe will not save his job this round.

no, you are right, i mean i'm happy in retrospect with marshall, dansby and bush, but they were FA acquisitions. I would like him to move up personally to get RG3 if thats who we think we need. I do think he's got upside.

plus my opinion is subjective.

sorry i mean we didnt draft them, marshall was not a FA.
Right but he still had to trade things of value to aquire Marshall showing that he is more

than willing to do so for needed talent.

yeah true. i'm hoping we are decisive. would including a player like hartline or someone else make sense? i mean in terms of not just picks but players too?
Oh yeah. If you can move what you see as extra pieces instead of picks I do

that first. We have other holes to fill so we need those other picks as well if possible.

lol, the rams and jags need WRs

We can trade hartline, who can be a great no. 2 reciever with a halfway decent qb throwing to him, this years 1st and starks, who is getting old but is still talented, plus odrick is there to replace him. We can draft someone like quick in the 2nd or someone else in the 3rd. May be even give gates a shot and draft a WR next year if he doesn’t work out, its not like we are going to be SB contenders next year anyways, I predict 9-7 at best.

I think it will take a lot more than that. I get the feeling that someone is going to have to greatly overpay.

I’m thinking 2 firsts, 2 seconds, and a player like Starks.

for luck, that would work

What I’m saying is moving up maybe 4 or 5 picks for RGIII.

Yeah I know. I still think it might take that much. RGIII is going to be a very hot commodity now that Barkley isn't in the draft.
But that pick will be slightly cheaper

and if we trade with STL for instance, they can’t ask as much.

Oh they can ask. You also have to remember that there may be some teams drafting behind Miami that could be interested in moving up.

Teams like Seattle, Kansas City, the Jets. To move up will be expensive IMO.

But they can't really ask for more

because everyone knows that STL and Minnesota will not draft a QB in the first unless it’s Luck.

Which is why I'm kind of glad Indy has #1 in a way

I could see them taking Griffin at #2 if STL took Luck #1.. However I don’t think the Rams would draft RG III so they’re more likely to trade down now that they don’t have the #1 pick

If this turns into a bidding war between multiple teams, the price goes up.

Let’s say Wash, Miami, Cle, Sea all want RGIII. That puts St. Louis in the drivers seat and they can ask a high price. If no team wants to pay that price, ok, they draft Khalil. Then Minn is in the drivers seat and could ask for whatever price they want because Wash, Miami, and Sea know that if hey don’t move in front of Cle, they lose out on RGIII.

Possibly... that all depends on FA too

If Washington signs Flynn, they’re out of the deal. if Cleveland decides to stick with McCoy (not a bad idea since they have NO playmakers at all), they won’t be in on it. Seattle is 8-8 and the cost will be too high for them, especially since Carroll will go all in for Barkley next year. I think the cost will be lower than expected.

Yeah, RG III's stock has risen quite high over the last 3 months

Luck may still be the #1 QB in the draft but the gap between he and RG has closed in VERY significantly. The higher Griffin’s stock has risen, so has the asking price to trade for him. The 2012 QB class is no longer “Luck and everyone else” IMO

the skins need a QB, but who else realistically will draft one? Not the Rams. Will the Jags stick with Lame Gabbert?
Until they get some WR help

“Lame” will be a nickname for any QB there

admittedly, they are woeful in a few areas, except RB. Most people cant name a single Jags WR
But everyone said he was the future last year

;)

he still can be, but he's got alot of mediocrity around him
Doubt it

Gabbert has the pocket presence of a hockey defenseman.

Boy where they wrong
Everyone makes mistakes

I called Aaron Rodgers a no-talent hack who couldn’t come from behind or win big games, so he decides to win the Super Bowl.

LOL And what would you now give to have him a Dolphin?
Very much
What's up

Yep Giants looking good tonight. Which means they’ll lay a dud against Atlanta next week if they make it through tonight.. They can’t get back to back big wins, especially at home

i hope they can get a streak going

They are probably my fav team after phins and chargers

They're my 2nd fav team, I don't have a 3rd

So you’re looking for 2 HCs then. If not for tonight, it could have been 3 lol

meh, chargers are my playoff team as the phins are never there and the chargers usually are

I mostly just like phillip rivers and vincent jackson. I used to be a huge LT fan till he went to the jests.

These boot marines, I swear

Whole bus is crawling with them heading to MCT.

5%

Baby’s taking on water

Just saw the Haywire preview

Whoever asked if it was a Bourne ripoff was right on the money.

Wretched books

Never read them.

Reading is good sir. Try it sometime. You might just learn something.
good habit it is
You lose alot watching the movie, but it is so much quicker
yeah, its like that in most cases

A lot of the story is omitted.

It is. I read every day. I am an information whore. I need to know and learn things.
what you read make you the whore!!
No I am that for other reasons.
well good for that then!!
SO what going on tonight people
whats up
not much here, and you
just got back from vacation, still have the restf of the week off thoug
cool where did you travel to
smoky mtns and atlanta

you?

No where, went to Va for a funeral just before Christmas, but no where special
Youe trip sounded fun
Hey Dave,what's up?
what going on 88
Fay, dumb, and happy after we beat the jests.
Fat, dumb typing mistakes.
What's the news Dave
Check my new sig line Dave!
nice!!
Its a real thing. I am sending off for the cert. and the letter of good standing. I can now actually, legally perform

marriage ceremonies so if your even in need again I am your man.

I will keep that in mind,More importantly I would rather you keep me from doing it again
LOL If thats needed I will also do that for you brother!
Hey Tex , I m still waiting on my nipple
Yeah? I will buy you a lap dance when I get down there then you will have two nipples.
I dont want a dance, I want the back room
Oh well I had better bring more cash then.
I have good friends down here, we wont need much!!
Nice. I like discounts. Even on that so long as the quality remains of the highest order.
duh !!
still not allowed to talk about the bachlor party , but i am sure it was not leagal in any state
Those are the best kind.

Was it epic Hangover style?

very simliar, honestly, Limo driver left with a buddy , got all the way back to the shop found him passed out in the back, brought him back in his own car a nd partied with us
LOL Well I still thought it needed to be said.
Jus twondering how many crazy topics were going to have this off season on what this team should do and what direction we should go

And how bad will our drafting be this year

Dude the new one is going to be go get GB's back up.
I know it started already
Yeah I saw this coming when I heard that he would start.
You can't please all the people all the time. No matter what he does it will be wrong for half the peeps on this site.
I don't mind and I actually think that the FO had to look at every possibility, even Flynn because that is their job.

Just not sure I want to see an ever ending string of stories about it.

I just saw a picture of that injury to the Denver O-lineman

Disgusting.

what was it
broken leg... foot turned unnaturally
yuck, If that happened to you , would you want to see the replay of what happened
Only if I was trying to pick up chicks

They dig injuries.

so does alpha!!
Hey everyone

Sorry I missed out on the NYE thread last night. My band had to play a show.

Thank God. I was close to sending out Alpha to find you and we know that never ends pretty.
Nope, I am alive and well

I made good $ last night, so while I would’ve rather just hung out at home for NYE, it made the evening tolerable.

LOL And then you immediately hid it in the bank of your choice!
Stupid holiday screwed up that plan. Must wait until Tuesday!
ROcking at CHuckie CHeese again , SIx Strings
How did you know!?

I saw Jerry Sandusky there.

AHHH, So bad, How is it going Six Strings
Good. Ready to read eight billion posts about why we need to sign Matt Flynn
LOL You knew that was coming once you heard he was starting.
Or the fact that he threw for a thousand yards today. Yeesh

He’s good, I’ll give him that. And if we don’t like any of the QBs coming out, then we should compete for his services. Still, we need to eventually develop from within.

I say bring back Ray Lucas
as the towel guy?
Or maybe sign him and draft Tannehill(sp)?
now your talking
Tannehill looked slick yesterday. He'd be a good development guy
Yeah I think that I take him over Jones but thats me.
Let's just say that people are going to hate my next mock draft

I put our positional needs as such: right tackle, quarterback, outside linebacker, safety. We also need to upgrade wide receiver and tight end at some point.

No, I'd definitely take him over Jones

Jones has no killer instinct, and it drives me insane. His arm is phenomenal, but he suffers from “Henne brain” syndrome.

I agree. He reminds me so much of Henne.
Did anyone see Branstater today
I sure did not.
We should have keeped him,LOL
I have top prospects at each position, and the best part is we'll get at least one of them

Anyone watch Riley Reiff kick the crap out of OU pass rushers the other night? Heyah!

Yeah hes a stud.
The big question will be whether we're in the 3-4 or 4-3

If it’s the latter, I say we get nasty and take Quinton Coples.

Have to see who the new coach is first. I hope we know here in the next week or two.
No more Henne!

Let’s just forget that ever happened.

You know he is your leader.
LOL... no
Oh yeah. What if he drove the General Lee? How about then?
I'd prefer it if he dressed like Boss Hogg
While driving the General Lee?
has to talk like Rosco Peco Train
LOL... I don't think there is anything he could do at this point

that would make me consider him a leader of any sort.

Yeah, he sucks
But he has that horn and its very Nascar like and you Nascar types

can NOT resist the General Lee. Its a scientific fact!

Henne would ruin NASCAR
It's an aphrodisiac
It is. Sound that horn and their eyes glaze over and they go in

to a weird Nascar trance where they mumble about the South rising again and something about Rosanne Barr.

Like the guy who used to come through Turtle Wax with a primer-less RX7

And his vanity license plate said, “Lee surrendered. I didn’t.”

Wow what a douche.

I put good money on that guy being quite the racist to boot!

Oh, he was.

He had a ZZ Top beard, too.

Sigh.........

Its sad because there are so many good people in the south but fools like that make us all look bad.

there are good people everywhere, but there are idiots everywhere also. They destroy the way of life for good people
I agree with that.

Like I have said I saw more racism in PA then I have ever seen in the south but we still have that stigma attached to us.

o its everywhere, some cities more than others
my wife and I get looks all the time
Which is sad.

Hopefully some day it will change.

not in our life time
It will get better but not go away.
Hey he is a great leader and always was

Don’t forget he made DAMN SURE his teammates never stopped quitting!

LOL... that was too funny
We just said the same thing
This

Flynn will be hyped to the heavens this off-season. Where ever Flynn winds up, one can be asssured that Finely, Nelson, Jones and Driver will not be going with him.

I thought it was at Disney in the bear jamboree.
That too

Second Milers everywhere.

Hey kmb, Happy New Year to you bro.
Happy New Year to you, too, sir!

It’s always a pleasure to talk to you.

We play at Indy next season

Manning vs Luck perhaps?

F that team for laying down today. What a bunch of dogs they have in the FO
I hear ya but the thing that still stings me is that the Rams beat the SAINTS

That was their first win… The one week NO doesn’t show up kills us

Yeah, that Rams team stands to kill it in this draft

The fact that they’ll get Kalil is criminal.

Dallas finally scored.
Yeah

They are finnaly showing some life.

Not to pimp, but I want to make it clear that I said Jason Pierre-Paul was the best pass rusher in the 2010 draft

And I was laughed at by a certain member of this site. Heyoo!

Is he a short Italian?
lol. No
Does he have bad taste in shirts?
You mean Ed Hardy shirts? Definitely not
No not those. You know what I mean but I will respect your obvious redirect.
Never mind. And yes, it was him
feeling left out, I wear ugly shirts
Lies. You are quite stylish sir!
Don't worry... I'm confused as well
Well both of you kids know where to find me outside of this site.
I wear Hilfiger so...
I didn't not see it

I liked Carlos Dunlap more.

He's been so good thus far

Dunlap hasn’t been too shabby, though. Cincy has a good foundation for the next decade. Props to them.

Dunlap is a real concern

When we play (Ravens) the Bengals.

And JPP

Clearly has more upside and seems to never get hurt.

he is not bad at all
Dude I have to buy one of those Nissian Frontiers
I want to buy the girl in those annoying Hyundai commercials
See if there is a 2fer deal
The jets can't wait... to cut Bart Scott

http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2012/01/01/jets-cant-wait-to-cut-bart-scott/

And it begins! LOL

they have a lot of cuts to make, including there QB
I will mention this in my recap, but we pretty much destroyed Sanchez for good this afternoon
He is junk!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Did you see the look on his face at the end of that game? It was like we told him Santa is fake
Wait, what?

Then where did all my gifts come from smarty pants?

I brought them
Thanks bro. I knew Santa was not like they depicted in all those pics!
your welcome, try and chill the milk next year
Oh, that was not milk but duly noted!
Oh please I'm nervous the Jets of all teams will make a desperate trade for a QB
nah they love him, they will trade the house for someone else though
I'll bet you they make a play for Manning

Or Matt Flynn. Whatever. They suck, and their defense has turned into utter dogshit. They CANNOT rush the passer at this point.

They got fat on Darrelle Revis' presence, and now it's time to pay the piper
exactly
Their safeties are godawful, too. And that observation is coming from a Dolphins fan
They have a ton of weaknesses
yup. he is great but they paid there soul for him
LOL Yeah he might be worse then Henne.
He is a lot worse than Henne !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
He's the best thing to happen to the jests , for every other team.
Indeed

Bart Scott was much better next to Ray Lewis. Scott is done. The COD is gone from his game.

Does anyone think GLen CLose is hot ? If so you need to get your head checked
Not now, not ever
Romo is a OHNO!!!
I love how the media talks up Romo

And he lets them down every year late in the season.

this is a dumb ass comercial
The Boys are gonna make a game of this
According to GGN, the Dolphins are interesting in jets DC Pettine

http://www.ganggreennation.com/2012/1/1/2675561/miami-dolphins-interested-in-mike-pettine-for-head-coaching-job

They are the source? If so then there is no story.
Ha!

Good point.

Apparently it came from a tweet by Manish Mehta
It's pretty embarrassing if they turned to him cuz all the "big names" turned them down
Lol

Not gonna trust any source from the Jests

Is he bald and was all over hard knocks?
Rex Ryan's fluffer?

Can I say that?

Yes because I do not understand that porn reference.
Lol

You don’t want to. If so, watch Boogie Nights sometime.

LOL I know what it mean.
Yes

Pettine is a good DC with a fine rep around the league.

It won't surprise me if the Phins get a defensive coordinator for a head coach.

That is the GM’s MO. I specUlated Perry Fewell might be a possibility. So why not the Jets DC?

Great way to spruce up our dynamic offense, that's for sure

Than again Cam Cameron, a big OC didn’t help so who knows.. Well I know… I don’t want either one of them

Norv will be here with Nolan
Sounds good

We’ll see what the new HC wants

I just hope Nolan stays
LOL @ this

http://www.ganggreennation.com/2012/1/1/2675336/sanchez-will-get-a-true-assessment-with-a-new-offensive-coordinator

Sound familiar?

LOL Yeah good luck with all that Jets fans.
But it does help my argument though

whenever someone says Henne needs more time, I will reply with “The jets think the same thing about sanchez”.

At least we didn't trade up to No.5 overall for Henne
that would have been so bad

can you imagine how scared Dolphins fans would be to draft another first round QB after that?

It'll be like a house assessment

“This property is a piece of shit and you overpaid for it. You won’t get anything for this.”

Did they fire Shotty?
that's the coordinator that they want to leave, not the DC
I was about to ask that but i doubt it

That’s just the fans talking I think

They have a poll up and the OC is outvoted 11-2 over QB for position needing to be addressed?

odd

right... because it's the OC's fault that the QB can't hit a wide open WR
Some blamed Henning last year with Henne for that very thing.

How many big throws did Henne miss, yet it was always the OC’s fault?

Henning needed to go, but it was posited that Henning's play calling was limited due to Henne's limitations

yet no one could even see that at all.

Yeah I agree with that too

Neither one helped but Henne’s play made Henning’s playcalling worse and vice versa

I agree for the most part but Henning didn't help consistancy at times

There were a few drives where Henne would actually have momentum during a drive only to be taken off the field for the WC.. Especially for those first 2 home games against the Patriots and Jets.

But yeah Henne was never going to be the guy.. Just like I feel Moore won’t either.. I just want to move on from the journeymen

Well having Sanchez throw it 59 times last week in a tight game vs the Giants, I'll blame the playcalling

But they definitely need more production. He made it to 2 AFC champ games by “managing” the offense, which is fine. He didn’t get there by throwing his arm off

No, they are absolutely a ground n' pound offense

Which can be effective with the right personnel. But their defense regressed big-time this season, and their offensive line was never healthy in 2011. You need both to succeed with ground n’ pound.

not true, all you need is some boose and a willing female
All kidding aside, who made more calls for the offense, DaBoll or Sparano?

Cuz the playcalling sure didn’t seem to change much the first few weeks tbh

I thought Sparano hijacked the play-calling in the second half on a few occasions
GGN is delusional when it comes to Sanchez
He's sunk cost, IMO

It’s time to walk away from that investment. However, he wasn’t their only problem today.

agree on both
I love this

He’s sunk cost, IMO

GGN is delusional when it comes to Sanchez

They thought at one point that they could trade sanchez and a 2nd or 3rd rounder for the Andrew Luck pick... LOLOL
LOL That lacks any grasp of reality.
That's as bad as the people here who want to trade Jake Long AND PICKS for Luck
Yeah Nicky stop that BS.
You guy's have me rolling

I am laughing so hard.

LOL Do you even know who Nicky is?
Yes

I am on your site more than you know! I like reading the Phinsider.

Ah we love silent stalkers. Welcome sir!
Alpha won't like this, he's used to doing the stalking
Oh hes out there. He's probably outside that guys window as we speak.
LOL better turn around, Raven
dont bend over,
I know actually what the commentor was refering to
no you like us, awe!!
just messing bud
It's all good

I grew up in Miami as a Dolphins fan.

Me too. What made you defect?
Had to head North as a 16 year old to DC

Mother moved.

cool ,O lived in Columbia for a while
Love Merriweather Post Pvillion
my first job ever
when I lived there it was a nice town, now it is just over built
Yep

There are putting stuff everywhere out there.

we had bike paths, woods for days, it was nice. I lived there in the 80's though. It was very nice
Yeah but still. Your team is your team, ALWAYS!

I did not become a Cowboys fan.

You know

I don’t why I quit following the Dolphins.

I could never give up my Phins. its like a drug for me. Even when they suck.
probably the repeated lack of drafting a QB....
are you in maryland now
Yes

Just outside of DC.

Long is worth the #1 overall pick AND picks

not the other way around.

People undervalue linemen and being a dime a dozen. Even the good ones or in Longs case the best one.
that's true, but some overvalue them too

to the point that they eschew other more valuable positions.

The point is, if you're going to move a perennial Pro Bowl tackle, make sure you don't lose your ass in the deal

He’s worth three first-round picks, IMO. There are very few Jake Longs walking around.

Right. Let's give away the franchise so our next QB can get disembowled by pass rushers every Sunday
I would trade Long only if we didn't give up our own first and we got a QB AND a top LT prospect too
Truth. I'd trade him if we could get a top QB and Jonathan Martin or Riley Reiff

Otherwise, no deal.

That is delusional.
You're kidding

I hope.

LOL No. They are not right over there at GGN.
I remember that

and that was when it WAS “Luck and everyone else” in the QB class

I'm just glad

we’re getting a GOOD look at potential FA pickups from the Cowboys this offseason. Hope JI is watching.

LOL... I will gladly take Tyron Smith for our RT
Well, that's not saying much....

I’d take a Jake Long fathead poster stuck on a screen door held up by “little people” over MC.

Tyron Smith has been great this year
No doubt,

Just saying….I’d literally take a JL fathead poster over Columbo, then we could look for depth in the later rounds :)

what could we get for Colombo, a kicking tee maybe
just the satisfaction of knowing he's gone forever

that’s it.

Thats almost better than sex. Almost.
We would have to give them something to take him.
How bout the jests t-shirts in our store at sun life stadium?
Those are long gone.
Not a chance.

Some members here are delusional…..sheesh……
Might as well ask for the cheerleaders and 2 second rounders while you’re at it.

I'll take Liutennant Columbo over Colombo!
HUGE play by the Giants
Possible game changer.
Yep

The Cowgirls season may have just went up in smoke.

Smoke em if you got em!
I'm sure that's what the Giants are thinking
I knew Victor Cruz was great since that preseason game against the jest during Hard Knocks.

He’s ridiculous.

I think

Cruz suprises DB’s with his quickness.

Why do players always touch the sliding QB down?

Doesn’t the slide mean he’s giving up and not trying to advance, which kills the play anyway?

Just habit I think.
Better to be safe than sorry
yeah before I think they still had to be touched
I just wondered
Ok, he is my racial statement for the night.... My next door buddy his wife is black and she made me some Greens. HOLY S%^%$ they were AWESOME !!!!

Wife wife just does not get it , How come there so much better !!! I ate like 4 serving, and now I got gas!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I love greens. Its not a racial thing. Good food is good food.
but some people can just make them better than others. My mother was horrid!!
LOL Yeah. My grandmother makes em good.
I had some Greens yesterday

Delicious they were.

Damn did Ohio get some nice cheerleader pics

nice shots from above shall I say

I hate those "give up" plays on third down.

Phins seemed to do a lot of those today.

Keith, how do you feel about Jerry being the new RT in 2012?
We could do worse, but you could make the case that RT is our second-biggest need right now
No one here wants to read this, but if no QBs are available, we'd be wise to get Martin or Reiff and lock it up on the right side

Premier talent at a position of need is never a bad way to go.

And we'd have Pro Bowlers at center and both tackle positions. Our run game would be cracking
But we still need to find a long-term QB
GB back up
No
I think I am going to make a post of it
About Flynn or the greens?
Both and how the Idea of the post and the affect of the green go together
that would be awesome... LOL
Lol that would be awesome
No thank you

Those greens are affecting more than your ass :P haha just messin

True, unfortunately, DT would seek out contact, even if it was unwarranted.

IMO, I think pass rusher is the 2nd biggest need

We have Wake and that’s it

Agree.

Jerry at RT, but who’ll be at LOLB?

Yeah, that's why I said you could make the case. I think OLB and RT are big-time positions of need right now

The trick is finding out if we’re a 4-3 or 3-4. If we’re a 3-4, I’d STRONGLY consider Courtney Upshaw at OLB.

Best 3-4 pass rusher in this draft
I live in Illinois, so I am really familiar with Whitney Mercilus. He's nasty

And definitely an option. Vinny Curry is a kick-ass prospect, too.

If we did trade down, those are the prospects I would want to draft
You have great tastes
thank you... getting good pass rushers is about the second most important need for any team
What to you think of Curry from Marshall?

I think he could be a force in any system… or Mercilus. That’s just a great name for a defender.

My darkhorse pick for us, as of right now, is Mark Barron from Alabama

Do-everything safety with the best instincts I’ve seen in a player as of late.

My brother goes to U of Illinois, too, so he was telling me about Mercilus last August
Maybe in a small trade-down situation

But he’s a mid-1 pick, so that’s a valid scenario, IMO.

Can never have too many pass rushers
ballgame
as soon a Ohno took the first snap, the game was over!!
Yay both Ryans can enjoy the winter together

After Rob said the Ryan family would be there to watch the Cowgirls make the playoffs.. Ugh why on EARTH do people even suggest him as our next HC… He should be fired as DC.. Same with Schotty.. He may be fired as OC and ive seen his name mentioned too… So not only do we go after lousy back up QBs but also secondary coaches

I'm not a fan or anything,

but why does Eli get such a bad rep? He is pretty awesome.

Because he whines so much that it turns people off.
Because of his last name and probably refusing to play for the team that drafted him
And of course the whiny bitch thing.
Lol I'm not goin that fah!
Thats why I got your back and finished it off for ya!
Well yeah, I understand the hate there.

He’s pretty good though. Anyone think the Bolts woulda won the big one with him by now?

Good night all,And Happy New Year!!!
Happy New Year Dave
Goodnight, Hope your first day of 2012 was a dandy one!
Good night Dave
I never see him whining to the media or anything....

his expression on the sideline seems telling, but I think he’s just trying to get into Brady’s echelon. Nonetheless he’s a great QB.

I think he comes off as a geniune douchebag during interviews

He can play, though.

I don't think he whines, he may look "pouty" at times but i've never seen him bitch

If anything he doesn’t bitch enough. His former teammates like Barber and Burress throwing him under the bus didn’t help him either.. But he’s doing just fine without those primadonnas

He use to whine all the damn time. He does not do so as much now but he use to be the worst in the league.

Trust me I get a steady diet of Giants games here.

Fair enough...

He’s certainly not camera friendly, but……what the hell……2 firsts and 2 seconds…… :)

OH yeah. He has a bad case of dumb face to boot.
LOL @ a case of "dumb face"

still LOLing.

I appreciate ya'll having me on the Phinsider tonight

I promise not to be a stranger hence forth.

Welcome and come back anytime

Just ignore all the “Sign Flynn” posts. LOL

Thanks for stopping by sir. See ya soon!
Thanks, check yaw windows befaw you leave!

Watch out for Alpha!

BTW I'm still a newb,

what’s a CKC?

Yeah I asked that too when I started posting here.

Others can explain it better but it’s basically a live random chat thread at night where some rules are bent a bit. It’s more open but can only go on after 10 PM EST.. It’s harmless really, not much different than tonights game thread has been.. Except pics and vids are allowed and language doesn’t necessarily have to be PGish

Oh...thanks.

I would’ve still been wondering that years from now. What’s the acronym? Anyone?

Thanks for the new sig TCP!
LOL Your welcome!
i wood not be apossed to getting flyn in a miami uniform!
No but I would still draft someone.
