Snow Balls and Portents

The Two Old Dolfans both had unusual “views” of the game Saturday, and despite the oddity, have no shortage of observations and educated opinions.Regardless of the “No Asterisks” McD press conference comment, a lot of positive can be taken from this particular L (as opposed to the previous). Both Scott and Alex feel strongly about what we will see this Sunday, and about the longer term direction of the team. Listen in to their conversation and agree or disagree.

That Sucked

There was nothing funny about the Dolphins showing in Los Angeles, but we can put a funny title on it. Let’s talk about the troubling signs. San Francisco gave the Dolphins a lesson, and the Miami coaching staff appeared to have learned nothing from it. So, now the Two Old Dolfans have to dig into the details, with angry face on. The answers are somewhat obvious. Coaching, scheme and playcalling – those things we were excited about so frequently this season with our rookie coach and his staff – well, we have a lot to say about it.  The Dolphins are heading to Buffalo trailing the Bills now – do they have a chance in the cold and snow, other than “any given Saturday?”.

What This Team Can Be

The Texans, one of the NFL’s worst, showed us all what we can look like as a championship caliber team.  For a half. But despite domination on both sides of the ball, there are still improvements to be made, and concerns. The second half really showed us the lack of depth Miami’s line suffers from. Alex and Scott talk about all this, AND, the exciting matchup in San Francisco coming this weekend.
