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 […]

[…]
In a game that ultimately meant nothing for the Dolphins, Miami hosted the New England Patriots on New Year’s Day and played, at least on defense, like their resolution was to mimic teams of yesteryear. Losing 35-14 to their divisional rival, The ‘Phins remain in the sixth seed for the playoffs and will be facing […]
The Miami Dolphins are going to the playoffs! And not just in video game form this year, but for realsies!

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?

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.

You hear it all the time. “Why do you care so much? It’s just dudes playing a GAME!” Maybe to some, football is “just a game” but to the guys and gals that watch this beautiful sport, it’s far more than just a game. It’s a spectacle! It’s waking up early on Sundays to get […]
A player’s job in the NFL is unlike most professions in many ways. Voting for captains (superiors) is one of those unique traits. Today, the Dolphins elected five captains for the 2016 season. Offense: Ryan Tannehill – The quarterback had better be one of the captains of the team. Ryan Tannehill and his grey, dull […]
Recently, Perfectville’s own, Sam Marcoux, joined the hosts of The Seahawkers Podcast to discuss the week one match up between The Miami Dolphins and Seattle Seahawks. It was a fun time on a quality show. We discuss the progression of Ryan Tannehill, the best offseason move for the Miami Dolphins and which safety is better, […]
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 […]
Our paper bag mascot has become quite popular with our readers and listeners. And the time is right for us to name our paper friend proper. And since we can’t decide on a name ourselves, and in a desperate attempt to be more interactive with the audience, we have decided to make this an official […]
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) […]
Since the beginning of time, man has pondered the great questions of the universe. Why are we here? What is our purpose? And what is the best way to evaluate quarterback play? Passer rating is usually a pretty good measurement but it falls short in some efficiency areas. ESPN’s ill-contrived total quarterback rating is just […]
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 […]
Miami Dolphins (1-0) @ Dallas Cowboys (0-1) Friday August 19, 8:00 EST Cowboys Stadium Now that you’ve removed your finger from the panic button and prepare for another installment of Dolphins football, let’s get you ready for the game.

Dolphins 27 (1-0) Giants 10 (0-1) I created a system to grade players via film study using statistics that I’ve either invented myself, borrowed from other football enthusiasts, or some combination of the two. I watched the game against the Giants just like most of you probably did -with a beer in my hand while […]
2016 Games Schedule: Week 9 November 6 @ Pro Player Stadium on Land Shark Field at Dolphins Park Week 15 (Saturday – Primetime) December 17 @ Met Life Stadium Just one game better than we are against the Bills since 2012, the Jets have been another serious road block to the Dolphins quest for 9-7 and […]
This will be a three part series previewing the other teams in the AFC East and how they affect the Dolphins in the upcoming season. Next Thursday we will cover the Jest and then the Cheatriots the following Thursday, August the 11th. 2016 Games Schedule: Week 7 October 23 @ Dolphins Ball Park of Sun-Life […]
The unfortunate circumstance of Ryan Tannehill’s imminent rise to league-wide respectability is that all the credit will go directly to Adam Gase. That’s one of the prevailing premises of the National Football League though – these professionals can’t allow ego to interrupt their overcoming of obstacles. I’m a frequent listener of various football podcasts and […]
This is the group that determines the fate of the 2016 Dolphins more so than any other. The strides made from the revamped coaching staff will be apparent from day one, but the new and improved line may take some time to gel and find cohesion. Playing in synchrony is one thing, but we’re also […]
Navigating your way through the July lull as a football fan is difficult. Launching a blog site in that timeframe is either narcissistic, delusional or some form of masochism. I’ve not yet arrived at an answer but my time served as a Dolphins fan makes me lean towards the latter. With training camp less than […]
The All Paper Bag Team I grew up a prototypical 90’s kid. Nicktoons ran on loop, I played Nintendo 64 at a Reshad Jones level and when I got home from school, I took to the backyard to play whatever sport was in season. At 7:10 pacific standard time every night I watched Ken […]
Ryan Tannehill has been the starting Quarterback for the Miami Dolphins for four years. Some say he is the team’s “Franchise”, while others feel the organization needs to move on and find his replacement. Sam and Chris take up either side of this debate in this episode that is sure to spark conversation amongst fellow […]
The 2015 NFL Season for the Miami Dolphins did not go as planned. Which means it was about par for the course.

Sam and Chris give out their prestigious awards to the Miami Dolphins players and plays that […]
