Does anyone else think the Miami Dolphins are going to implode on MNF?

[Capt. Obvious]

I'm expecting a team to completely lay down and barely try on offense, and their defense to follow suit. They've spent the week talking about Incognito and lashing out at Martin, etc.

I'm thinking this is a week to play clever and start the Tampa Bay D/ST on your Fantasy team.

1. well the jags will be the only winless team - tampa will probably get their first win on MNF

[Capt. Obvious]

2. How much of shellacking will it be though?

[kydo]

3. bad

on the football level they lost 2 pretty good offensive linemen. Tannehill is going to be fodder for the bucs D. The bucs are not as bad as their record or coach. If they only had a qb. The new kid is just new and tossed in so the need for a qb wasn't really directed at him.

Because the fins have a really good kicker, my guess on the game 24 6 bucs

4. One can only hope since they all seem to be sticking up for Incognito...

And seem to think the Coach pulling that shit is just fine and dandy.

[RockaFowler]

5. What did the coach pull??

I'm confused
I haven't heard anything saying that Philbin told Incognito to "bully" Martin or whatever

Oh and the Dolphins will be fine Monday Night. The Bucs stink!!

6. That's all the news on ESPN the last two days...

Here's a couple links...

9. Jeff Ireland is not the coach

Pro-Football Talk is reporting anonymous sources (I really hate those) that his agent called Ireland. That doesn't even sound logical because this supposedly happened before Martin left the facility (no way). On Monday last week Martin walked out on his own and didn't talk to anyone. The first person to talk to him was Philbin. He brought his parents in to the "rehab" facility where Martin was located. Philbin has been to this facility a few times until Martin left and went back home to California.

If you watched part of the press conference with Coach Philbin and many of the players (including Tannehill) they said they were not aware of any issues with Martin and Incognito. Tannehill thought they were best of friends. The players all liked Incognito. Heck the Press gave him the "Good Guy" award last year.

I think everyone needs to step back and wait for everything to come out. I want to know why Martin pulled this same prank (standing up when one guy sat down) on other guys. Tannehill said it has happened to him MANY times. Why did Martin hold onto the voicemail for so long (6 months)?? Why did he play it for many of the other players and laugh about it?? Why didn't Adam Schefter explain the entire voicemail (he missed the part where Richie said "Talk to you later&quot ?? We all have rushed to judgement - especially the media. Listening to Cris Carter this morning on Mike and Mike gave me a different take on this. Martin was well liked, so was Richie.

I'm going to withold judgement until the entire episode is out in the open. Check out this from your own Boston paper:

It's very eye-opening. Ben Volin used to work the Dolphin beat for many years. He knows both of them very well!!

[joeybee12]

10. Yeah, bury your head in the sand...

I think it's disgusting that the players are rallying around Incognito

Read the third link...that's about Philbin.

You've got a disgusting organization there.

[RockaFowler]

14. WRONG!

I live and breathe this story right now. I work in TV. It's all that is on right now here. I have been looking at this story from all angles. And that last story is again unsubstantiated BS. Look at the players themselves. Do you actually think if any of those black players thought Richie was a Racist that they would have his back?? They all loved him. There is something else to this story that we are missing. And you my dear should read Ben Volin's column. It is very eye-opening!!

15. Uh hmm

Incognito has a long history of being an ass- he was thrown off Oregons team and suspended from Nebraska and a lot of teams wouldn't draft him due to character issues. Sorry, I think the Dolphin players and coaches are covering up BIG TIME. Reminds me of how everyone thought OJ couldn't possibly have murdered his wife cause he was such a nice guy. I don't buy this he's such a nice guy crap. CYA- nobody gonna admit they were complicit in this

7. Aww you know Joey...

Anything to distract for the murderer who played for his team.

[joeybee12]

11. Miami is a mess of an organization...

Bury your head in the sand all you want to.

[trumad]

8. LOL---

Miami by 2 touchdowns.

[Capt. Obvious]

12. The Trumad seal of approval

means Dolphins are toast.

[trumad]

13. Nah---not this time.

I think the Phins are a much better team

Folks forget that the most dysfunctional team in the league is Tampa Bay.

[Capt. Obvious]

16. Seal of approval pays off!

You should sport a Buccaneers avatar for the week.
