It is #FTJ Week! Which means it is time for Adam Gase and The Miami Dolphins to fly to New Jersey and remove the spirit of J-E-T-S fans, everywhere. New York’s AFC football team is dead last in points allowed and rushing yards allowed, while not being much better on the offensive side of the […]
After a long off-season and a painful preseason, the Miami Dolphins have licked their wounds and are finishing off the remainder of the silly season against the Vikings, before heading home to face the Buccaneers in the regular season opener. Sam and Chris discuss what they have seen so far from their beloved Dolphins, and […]
It is August, which means FOOTBALL! YAY! Sam and Chris discuss the first week of Training Camp: Jay Ajayi’s apparent head injury. Does Miami really need Jay to show anything in training camp? Will they seek out a veteran to add for depth? Or will Kenyan Drake and Damien Williams be enough if the J-Train […]
The boys return home to Perfectville and are bringing a slice of VEGAS with them this week. That is because the sports books have The Miami Dolphins as an Over/Under of 7.5 wins in 2017, which Sam and Chris feel is way too low. So, in an effort to help Las Vegas out, Chris and […]
Chapter One: Rock Bottom – “I don’t see a way that Ryan Tannehill makes it back for Miami. I just don’t. He looks totally punch-drunk. Fatefully, I think it’s over.” These were the words of highly regarded Dolphins fan, insider and contributor Simon Clancy (@SiClancy) on October 9. The Miami players, losers of four of […]
The boys are back in town! The Town of Perfectville, that is. And they are here to present the final round of Phinzees for the 2016-2017 season! Categories such as The Penny Saver Value Phinzee, Defensive Player Of The Year Phinzee, Offensive Player Of The Year Phinzee, and of course, The Dallas Thomas Lifetime Achievement Phinzee! Plus, […]
In the modern era of pro football, fans and coaches alike are often guilty of overthinking a problem. A perfect example of this occurred just a few years ago when the Seattle Seahawks stood on the brink of defeating the New England Patriots to capture their second consecutive Super Bowl. With 1:06 remaining in the […]
The 2016 Dolphins were many things. Between the heart-thumping finishes, exceeded expectations, and setting a new organizational precedence, if nothing else, this team was a sheer pleasure to watch. With an impressive resolve, the Dolphins overcame a multitude of adverse situations to win double digit games and secure a post-season berth for the first time […]
The Miami Dolphins, AKA “The One Percenters” swim into Pittsburgh on Sunday to take on the AFC North Champion Steelers. A team they pulverized in week 6, 30-15, which included an injury to their star QB, Ben Roethlisberger, the Steelers have since righted the ship and rattled off an impressive win streak of their own. […]
The Miami Dolphins are going to the playoffs! And not just in video game form this year, but for realsies! In a surprising, and scary game against Buffalo, Miami rallied behind a last second, 55 yard, game tying field goal from the unreliable Andrew Franks to force the contest into overtime, and then leaned on […]
Just in time for the holidays, Sam and Chris preview the big AFC East match-up against the Buffalo Bills on Christmas Eve. If Miami wins, and Denver loses, The ‘Phins are in the playoffs. Buffalo, however, is fighting to save their coach, Rex Ryan. They also have extra motivation to shut down Jarvis Landry after […]
The boys are back to talk about Ryan Tannehill’s knee injury, the abysmal refereeing from the Arizona Cardinals game, and of course, shifting our focus towards the hated Jets and their garbage fire of a team, this season. Matt Moore takes the reigns at QB this week and Miami STILL has the 2nd best QB […]
The boys clock in a record performance as they go close to 60 minutes on this episode. Hopefully Miami can go the foll hour when they play the Arizona Cardinals this Sunday, in Miami. Coming off of an embarrassing beat down at the hands of fellow bird team, Miami looks to rebound and return to […]
Miami went into Baltimore seeking their seventh win a row, and left there still having only seven wins total, as the Ravens flocked the Dolphins up, 38-6. Defensively, Miami was terrible. Offensively, Miami was terrible. Special teams, however…was terrible. So what went wrong? Did anything go right? And does DeVante Parker have a second career […]
The playoffs start NOW, as Miami steamrolls into Baltimore to take on the third seeded, and AFC North Division leading, Ravens. Can Miami take out a playoff contender while in a hostile environment? Will Ryan Tannehill or Jay Ajayi be able to crack the seemingly, unsolvable code, that is The Ravens defense? And who, among […]
The Miami Dolphins won their sixth straight game and are now the sixth seed in the AFC Playoff standings! It wasn’t easy, however, as Colin Kaepernick and the San Francisco 49ers put up a valiant effort before succumbing to defeat, two yards short of the game tying touchdown by Kaepernick. Who stepped up to thwart […]
After feasting on Thanksgiving dinner, the boys are back and hoping that The Dolphins are ready to feast on the San Francisco 49ers at home this weekend. Will Miami win? What challenge can the 1-9ers possibly give Miami? Who is playing and who is hurt? And just how ridiculous can the predictions get? Plus, in […]
The Dolphins combined their west coast road trip, so we combined our west coast podcasts! A JUMBO (non-Elliot version) edition of Perfectville, as we discuss the four game winning streak that continued in San Diego, as well as preview the upcoming game against the St. Louis Los Angeles Rams. Can Miami survive a loss to their […]
Sam and Chris tackle the huge game this weekend against The AFC West’s San Diego Chargers. What player needs to step up and earn his money on offense this week? Who does the defense need to focus on shutting down in San Diego’s high octane offense? Plus, RIDICULOUS PREDICTIONS! Follow us on Twitter: Perfectville @ PerfectvillePod […]
The Dolphins win AGAIN and have gotten themselves back to a .500 record at 4-4. Even better, they have gotten themselves back into a legitimate conversation for the playoffs! A 27-23 victory that saw a rushing TD, a passing TD, a kickoff return for a TD, two strip sacks by Cam Wake, and even a […]
The boys are back and well rested after following The Miami Dolphins’ lead, and taking some time off. Sam and Chris tackle the big rivalry game as Miami take son the stinkin’ New York Jets, at home, inside of Hard Rock Stadium. A win against New York, coupled with a Buffalo Bills loss to Seattle […]
Back in August, I wrote positional previews for the entire 2016 Miami Dolphins roster. Before even seeing him dress in aqua and orange, this was what I had to say about MarQueis Gray in the “Quarterbacks and Tight Ends Preview.” “Gray spent the end of last season on Buffalo’s injured reserved and signed with the […]
Most Englishmen that go into sport choose football. But it wasn’t until he came across the pond that Jay Ajayi found himself immersed in America’s rendition of the game. Before stealing national headlines by joining the company of O.J. Simpson, Earl Campbell and Ricky Williams as the only players to rush for 200 yards in […]
Miami strings it’s second win in a row by defeating their AFC East rivals, The Buffalo Bills. In a game that feature the home team wearing throwback uniforms, the offense channeled the 1970’s era teams and relied heavily on the run game. Jay Ajayi recorded his second consecutive 200 yard game on the ground, Ryan […]
The boys are back after another bad loss to the Pittsburgh Steele…wait, what? They won? Not only that, but they DOMINATED?!?! How did this happen? Chris and Sam break down what went right against a very good Steelers team this past Sunday. Plus, some breaking news that promises to bring the entire fan base down. […]
Sam and Chris to review what went wrong up in Foxboro. An overwhelmed defense, a slow starting offense and the legend of Jimmy Garoppolo combined to drop 31 point quickly on our beloved fins. If not for the Herculean effort of Ryan Tannehill, the talent of Jarvis Landry and DeVante Parker, and most importantly, Kiko […]
The boys are back and licking their wounds after a painful week one loss to the Seattle Seahawks. Find out what Sam and Chris thought about the last minute collapse by the defense, what specific plays changed the outcome of the game and of course, who the worst players ever are. We also say […]
The number one thing to take away from the pre-season is that you shouldn’t take anything away from the pre-season. These glorified scrimmages can prove who is worthy of the bubble spots on the roster and who is capable of flashing ability in one-on-one situations. The pre-season has had its bright spots sprinkled in over […]
Adam Gase provided a depth chart that not even Dallas Thomas’ mom thought to be true throughout the entire pre-season. Listing the embattled offensive lineman as the first team left guard was very “Belichickian” of the rookie head coach. With the Seahawks only six days away, and the team beginning early preparations, an accurate depth […]
The following players were cut today to get the roster to 53. Imagine if you are a football player and aren’t good enough to make a team like the Miami Dolphins…ouch: Players in bold, commentary in (parenthesis) CUTS: OL Sam Young (Great first name, bad player) CB Chimdi Chekwa (ChekWHY was this a surprise to […]
When you hear the letters “ACL” you often think of a player falling down with no contact and joining the injured reserve for the rest of the season. The anterior crucial ligament or ACL tear is one of the most career threatening injuries due to its long recovery time and high risk of re-injury. Today […]
I have been extremely dismissive of this final pre-season game tonight. Before we get into this piece, let’s touch on three things I want to look for: 1.) Xavien Howard – He’s been anointed the defacto starter week one in Seattle and I find the message to be a bit mixed. Here you’ve made Laremy […]
Sam and Chris review the game against the Atlanta Falcons and hand out their “Worst Players Ever” awards in addition to breaking down every roster spot available and predicting the final 53 man roster for opening day. Who do Sam and Chris see staying? Who gets cut? And can Dallas Thomas survive yet ANOTHER bad […]
Falcons 6 Dolphins 17 Although not outstanding by any measure, that performance gave me a much better feeling heading into the season. The best news of all, assuming Ndamukong Suh’s ankle injury is as minor as we’re told, the Dolphins get out of this game without any serious injuries and appear poised (knock on wood) […]
Atlanta Falcons (2-0) @ Miami Dolphins (1-1) Thursday August 25 8:00 EST – Hard Rock Stadium – NBC National Broadcast The third pre-season game is always the “dress rehearsal” for the regular season. Just as the Dolphins are preparing for their contest possible adding some minimal scheming, I’m going to transition more into a […]
Dolphins 14 (1-1) Cowboys 41 (1-1) That was difficult to stomach. That queasy, unwelcomed feeling of watching this team fall helplessly off the rails reared its ugly head once more as Miami were completely undone by the Cowboys. There are inevitable mistakes that will occur in the pre-season. Missed assignments, blown coverages, penalties, substitution issues […]
The Miami Dolphins have spent over 500 million dollars and years of design and construction to remodel and renovate the house that Joe Robbie built. Sam and Chris discuss those improvements, address the criticism some fans have lobbed towards the project and what home field advantages the new/old stadium provides Miami. The boys also […]
In part one of this series, I chronicled the players that distribute the football and the tight ends. Part two examines the players that finish the plays – the backs and wide outs. I recently read a complaint on a ‘Phins message board about the lack of star power this team has had basically since […]
