The Dolphins versus the Jets. It's a wonderful day that comes twice a year. It's a time for the locals in Miami or the Meadowlands to open their hearts and minds to their neighbors and show them grace and respect.
Yeah, not really.
It's go-time for some folks. It's a time to lay your heart on the line and hold your head high -- at least until the clock reads 0:00. (How's this for prose, eh?). This rivalry is a classic in the AFC East.
The New Yawkas think they own that new $1.4 billion place up in New Jersey. And they think they own the Dolphins old place down in Miami Gardens, too.
They're wrong, of course.
That place up north belongs to the Giants -- still, and if you don't believe it, count the Super Bowl trophies. And the place in South Florida is a stepchild that nobody really wants to own but we use because it didn't cost us any tax dollars.
Anyway, it is always special when the Dolphins and Jets play. And it is always special when Dolphins fans and Jets fans gather for the event.
I thought today-- with all the schemes drawn, all the injuries reported and all the practices complete -- would be a good day to simply prepare fans for each other.
Dolphins fans, meet the Jets fans:
Dolphins fans? This is what they are when they have a good team for cheer for:







Jets Passing Game vs Ours
I rate Carson Palmer slightly higher than Sanchez as a qb. Therfore I see difficulty for Sanchez putting up anymore than 13pts against our D. But turnovers will play a huge part in it too. The offense cant turn the ball over and give Sanchez a short field.
The Jets run game is nothing to be feared. Therefore, barring turnovers and giving the Jets offense a "sort field", I like the Dolphins to win this one by at least:
Fins 17 Jets 13

Yesterday, I believe the Jets are very beatable as well...But in reality, it all comes down to turnovers. The Dolphins don't have the offense to score 4 TDs a game...They need to pound the ball, no turnovers, take the lead and let their defense take care of business...If Tannehill turns it over like he did against the Texans, forget it...We'll be 1 and 2...
Posted by: #1 Dolphin Fan in Montreal | September 22, 2012 at 02:21 PM
Agreed YG. The Coaching Staff doesn't want to Subject T-Hill to DIVA WR's.
Like he told Chad, It's not U it's US.
Hopefully the Insight Helps.
Will be back later to finish it Off.
Dashi Out.
Posted by: Dashi (MHM I BE) | September 22, 2012 at 02:21 PM
dashi,
I believe this may be the most decisive matchup of all:
Jets HC/OC vs Fins HC/OC
Here we have the innovative defensive hc vs the innovative offensive hc. Again, the innovative Fins oc vs the not so innovative Jets oc(Sparano).
This is the matchup I believe could favor us most of all.

BOYCOTT THE FINS UNTIL IRELAND IS FIRED! WE'RE TIRED OF THE LOSING! HELP MAKE A CHANGE!
Posted by: BOYCOTT IS ON | September 22, 2012 at 02:29 PM
A little productivity from Bess and Armstrong would be great for Miami...But Revis is the best CB in the league and Cromartie ALWAYS plays well against the Dolphins...So I'm not really counting on that...
Posted by: #1 Dolphin Fan in Montreal | September 22, 2012 at 02:30 PM
The timing would be great for Clay to have a MONSTER game...
Posted by: #1 Dolphin Fan in Montreal | September 22, 2012 at 02:33 PM
YG
Agreed.
The Coaching Staff's is the Deciding factor in this Game.
Our Offense Vs Their Defense
Sporano doesn't scare Dashi, He is to Predictable.
Rex Ryan vs M-Shizzle
Oh, Good news for fin fans.
DUSTIN KELLER IS OUT. HE didn't even make the Trip!!!!
Yes. Fins 24-3
Ok, Now Dashi Out. Just had to drop that 1 little Piece.

Posted by: B33RCA53 | September 22, 2012 at 02:43 PM
Uff, we dodged a bullet in Dustin Keller not playing. He's always brought trouble for us.
Posted by: oscar canosa | September 22, 2012 at 02:44 PM
These Jets Fans down here are also Yawkas. Which reminds me of a name sometimes used to describe some of us down here, YUCCAS, Young Upper Class Cuban Americans.(of course, not me at all).

11-5 was Parcells
Posted by: Phinmanski | September 22, 2012 at 03:10 PM
Wow.did that video bring back some memories...there actually was a time when coming to Miami was intimidating for opposing teams. That was a special night when the Phins against all odds defeated the Bears, arguably one of the best teams ever. I have forgotten how great the homecrowd advantage was at one time. "Miami dolphins...if you win they will come!"

Posted by: Phinmanski | September 22, 2012 at 03:10 PM
Phinmanski that's all well and good as long as you're not one of the people who blame Ireland fully for the draft picks those three years that Parcells was here. Can't have it both ways, can't say the drafts were all on Ireland but the winning was Parcells. Can't say anything good that happened was Parcells and anything bad was Ireland. Doesn't work that way. I'm assuming you're one of the people who also blames Parcells for the pi%$ poor signings and draft picks (Wilford, White, etc.)
Ahhhhhhhhhhh how I remember the days on the Yankees blog. Listening to one liners like that, "Ireland will never have a winning record". Love those predictions because they usually back fire.
Here's what we heard from one guy every day before the Yankees won their last world series,,," THE YANKEES WILL NEVER WIN A WORLD SERIES AS LONG AS A-ROD IS ON THE TEAM"!
Every day he repeated the same thing. Then when they won the series and Alex was runner up in mvp voting to Matsui the guy changed his name and never commented again. Never admitted he was wrong. I just don't understand why people make such definitive predictions as if they own a crystal ball.

Posted by: FZB | September 22, 2012 at 05:02 PM
Ryan Tannehill will have at least two turnovers and struggle to push the ball down the field to his overmatched wide receivers against the Jets secondary. He won’t top 175 yards passing either.
Posted by: Jeffrow | September 22, 2012 at 05:24 PM
Everyone knows that 11-5 was Parcells. The team has gone down hill everyday since Parcells quit.
Posted by: Ron Son | September 22, 2012 at 05:26 PM
parcells was awful here also

Posted by: bigt160 | September 22, 2012 at 05:31 PM
Parcells was awful for this franchise, don't even go there. He ran away when he realized he screwed the team.
Love the article on L."Nighty Night Train" Lane. Hope he puts some Hot Sauce on Revis tomorrow.
Ireland is a terrible talent evaluator. He has had his chance. Bush deal was good, Pouncey pick was good and the Fields contract extension was good. His free agent signings have been horrid. I agree with, I think it was Phins 78, regarding Sherman bringing in their 2 best players this year in T-Hill and Lane. Maybe Sherman should be the damn GM.
Dolphins will win tomorrow. Do the Jets have anyone on Offense who scares anyone? I would bet they are more scared of Reggie than we are anyone on their team.

Whatsa matter Honey? The blog hits are slowing down and this is your way of calling out to me for help?
The bloggers did real good today. You notice how when you keep your crap to a minimum, the hits do come?
Don't think we didn't see your ignorant one liners popping in every so often. BTW-you don't happen to know where "Miramar" went do you? Heh, heh.
All in all though, thanks for keeping your retarded blog pollution to a minimum today! I'm sure the rest of the guys appreciate it as well.
Good job today guys. A heads up, there are some pretty good late college games coming up soon. Should be a good night.
PS: Sanchez to Keller doesn't scare me all that much. But I'm happy about him missing the trip. We will EVENTUALLY be ready to take on any teams best. But for now, our re-build and development can use any help it can get.
Like some Good Posters said above, we HAVE to AVOID the turnovers. We avoid the implosions and turnovers and I DO NOT see the jets hanging with us.
NOT IN OUR HOUSE!!!!

No doubt Ireland has been a continual source of embarrassment to the franchise, Why he still has his job is a total mystery to me. That being said, he is about the cheapest GM in the league so I guess cheapo Ross is getting what he paid for.....or didnt pay for. LOL

Dr Eiske,
You want to talk about the Jets of the past?
Talk about Greg Buttle. Talk about his club Buttle's on Hempstead Turnpike. I was there. I've lived East Meadow. My children were born there.
Posted by: DumperPumper | September 22, 2012 at 01:15 AM
Wait... Your kids were born at Buttle's? Was just referencing when my hatred of the Jets began.
Posted by: Dr Eiske | September 22, 2012 at 01:25 AM
Yo developmentally disabled,
My children were not born at Buttles.
They were born in East Meadow at NCMC.
Posted by: LincolnContinental | September 22, 2012 at 01:40 AM
Now I'm confused. So Lincoln Continental is really Dr. Dumper Pumper?
So not only are you a Troll, you are the one spreading all the gay innuendo.
And you blame Odin and Dashi for YOUR actions?
I guess now we do know. You are the degenerate loser with nothing better to do with your life.
Just the facts man, just the facts.
