00:00I'll tell you this. Dolphins kept it close last night, and I dug what Mike McDaniel did.
00:07Like, I, I, there, there were, you know, like, I, I didn't, what did I say all week?
00:12This is going to be embarrassing. I don't see a pathway for the game last night to not be
00:18embarrassing. I was not embarrassed. I thought they looked good at times. I thought Mike McDaniel
00:23called a good game. Um, you know, something happened that we're kind of getting used to
00:29happening, which is a final drive that Tua needs and he just can't deliver. But I, I don't know.
00:38I didn't, I didn't feel horrible and they didn't even need the whirling dervish. They gave you one
00:44little touch of a whirling dervish during the game, but they really didn't even need it. Like they
00:48just played football, like a comp. I want to say competent football team, but compared to what we
00:54saw week one versus what we saw last night, they looked like a super bowl team.
01:01They looked like they were a decent NFL franchise. Like they didn't embarrass, they didn't embarrass
01:09the organization. You kept asking. And I thought about it when I was watching the game where
01:13Steven Ross has to deal with his other billionaire friends and they're laughing at him last night.
01:19They're sitting around, they're drinking Louis the 13th. They're smoking $7,000 cigars and they're
01:25like, there's no laughter. Okay. This is a good football game. And by the way, had they beaten
01:32Indianapolis and or new England and then did that on Thursday night, you'd have been like, yeah,
01:39seasons kind of go in the way we expected. I mean, not necessarily after the Indianapolis game week
01:44one, because that was like, uh, ridiculous. That's still, still stings, but I don't know,
01:50had you beaten new England, had you been able to come back and win week two and then on a short week,
01:56go into Buffalo and be within striking distance again at the end of the game, you know? So I know
02:04we got to have the two a conversation. We're going to have it today. Kimbo camper is going to join us

02:36of the Miami Herald that jumped out at me last night after the game. He tweets now seven TDs and
02:45seven interceptions for Tua in his career final five minutes down by one possession passer rating in
02:55those situation in those situations sinks lower into the seventies and Barry Jackson editorializes
03:03is unfortunate, but that's the issue. Seven TDs, seven interceptions for Tua when there's five
03:13minutes or less left and the dolphins are down one possession. And I would submit to you
03:20if those were Skylar Thompson's numbers, you'd be okay. But because they're Tua's numbers,
03:30who is making a massive amount of money, he's being paid as one of the elite quarterbacks.
03:38You can't have those numbers when the game is on the line, when you're within a touchdown
03:42and there's five minutes or left, less left, you can't be throwing seven picks.
03:49You're a quarter billion dollar man. You get paid that money to end games like the Colts game.
03:57You were just out of it. Like, and that's why we're so embarrassed by that one, the new England
04:01game. And now the Buffalo game you're in, there's a single digit lead or deficiency in the fourth.
04:08That's where the Brett farms and Aaron Rogers and the Tom Brady's that's where quarterbacks are made
04:15in that final drive. And for Tua to go seven and seven in those drives and his quarter QBR being the
04:2270s. I think that's where our deficiencies are. And then they were killing him about his arm strength
04:29last night because it's the only game in town. They were destroying him about how he they're like,
04:34I mean, he throws every time Tyreek gets deep. He's just chucking the ball in the air like a punt.
04:39He can't, he can't reach him in. You saw it. You saw it yesterday when,
04:43first of all, Tyreek, Tyreek is double covered. That's fine. But if you're throwing that ball,
04:47it's got to be 30 yards in front of him. And bro, Tua put everything he had into that throw.
04:52I mean, everything he had into that throw and it ended up being a jump ball for the shortest guy
04:57on the field. I don't know if it's the injury. We talked about it last week. He's regressed.
05:01I don't know if it was the hip injury at the end of last season. I don't know what it is,
05:05but he can't make that throw, man. You just can't.
05:08Hulk, what's the number to Atlantic men's clinic?
05:11You think he needs some tea? You think he's getting? Can we call him low Tua?
05:17He just, it's so crazy when you're the only game in town, how they break it down. Like I've watched
05:25Acho talk about, I've watched Darren Orlovsky talk about it. Like this morning, I've like,
05:29cause it's the only football that you have to break down. And they're showing this stuff on video.
05:35Like he's rainbowing 15 yarders. Like, and they show Josh Allen throw the same. Josh Allen drove
05:43something into Keon Coleman. And it was the same route from Tua. Josh was on a damn rope and Tua's
05:51was fluttering in the air and dropped in. I'm like, this, this doesn't look good.
05:56You know, and then obviously big penalties. I don't know what the deal is on the sealer penalty
06:03because I, again, I don't know special teams. I can't imagine if the guy, if the center crumples
06:11that way and Zach sealer thinks he has a chance to block the punt. Doesn't he have to do that?
06:17Doesn't he have to go all out now? Whether you think they should be going for a punt block in
06:21that situation is probably a completely different story, but I don't know. Like didn't like he got
06:28penalized. I get it. And it killed them. But did he do the wrong thing? Yes. This, I have
06:37more problem with this than Tua's interception, which they're breaking it down. It was cover
06:41three. When three pushes to the flat, you push the number two. Like I played that position.
06:46I got that. This dude didn't, this dude didn't do football another way. He did his job and Tua
06:52threw the ball straight in his chest. Why in the hell is your 30 year old, six foot six,
07:00300 pound deep tackle on punt return? Why is Matt? That's a different question too, because
07:06Matthew Judon was in week one or two. Why is Matt Judon on punt return? Like what are y'all,
07:12what are y'all trying to prove? The old guys have to play special teams too? This not, and he didn't
07:17know what he, obviously to answer your question, Hawk, six foot six, 300 pound deep tackles don't know how to
07:22block punts. Like that's why he doesn't know how to turn his body. Can you blame him for just
07:27launching himself at the punter because he thinks he's about to block it? You turn side. I did it
07:34when I was younger. You turn sideways and you reach out. So you, it's a, it's a, it's a taught to
07:41you. I'm not going to hit his down leg. That's when they call roughing the punter. If his leg's off the
07:46ground and you hit his leg that's on the ground, that's a health issue. And that's roughing the punter.
07:51You don't even head towards him. You head sideways and reach out with your arm so that if you do roll,
07:59you roll next to him, but your highest paid 30 year old, six foot six, 300 pound D tackle is not
08:06going to know how to do that. Why the hell is he on punt team? He wasn't even close though. Like
08:13that's what bothers me. And I understand what he thought he was close is my point. He thought he was
08:19close. He thinks he is about to block the punt. And so I I'm just trying to figure out if I'm angry
08:26at him or if I'm angry at the coaching staff, the special teams coaches for having them in that
08:32situation. Or if I'm angry at just a flawed rule by the NFL, like, cause I don't know. I think he
08:40thinks he's about to block the pond. Hawk. I want you to run seam flat on a fire zone blitz.
08:46You got it? Not really. Cause you shouldn't be out there running seam flat on a fire zone blitz
08:53because you're not a outside linebacker safety. Why is this big ass dude on punt block? It doesn't
09:01make sense. He doesn't train for it. He doesn't do it. That I'm more upset about sealer being on that
09:06field than I am about to a throw an interception. I'm not going to lie. There's no reason. The best
09:10part is the Zach sealer hasn't even recorded a sack yet this year. I mean, he'd been invisible
09:14all season, like more so, even if he's normal. Cause I don't know Crowder, he might be a regular
09:19out there. I'm pump blocking. Like I'm pump returns. I don't, I don't know. By the way,
09:24we'd have to look at the snap counts, but either way, like they should have pulled his ass at the
09:28start of the game. This guy, this guy hasn't done anything all season. And now he's the guy
09:32you're relying on to go get a pump block. I bet him. I bet him last night to have a sack. I said
09:36to myself, there's no way. And I didn't, I didn't think Josh Allen was even going to throw a ton,
09:40but I thought to myself, there's no way this guy is going three games after the contract he got
09:46without getting to the quarterback. I should have bet Bradley Chubb. That was my second choice.
09:51Damn it. Yeah. Hey, how about Ollie Gordon? Anytime touchdown. Who called that? Who called that?
09:58Who made fun of me for suggesting Ollie Gordon anytime touchdown. And by the way,
10:03two of fans, if you're betting the two of rushing over, which I did, you just cashed for the third
10:10week in a row when he got, it was his first scramble. He fell forward two yards. Any other
10:18quarterback goes for 12 yards, right? That was on the fumble. That was on the fumble though. Right.
10:23Wasn't that he fumbled the snap. It was a third down play fumbles a snap. It was actually kind of a
10:28fire play by two picks it up. Jukes the line quarterback. Any other quarterback goes 12
10:33yards. He went to over under on his rushing was one and a half. So I text Rob Pizzola to a rushing
10:40over. He said, don't get ahead of yourself because you could have kneel downs at the end. And I text
10:47him back. Hello, hello, hello, hello, hello, any other quarterback, I might be worried about a kneel
10:53down at the end. I go, you think they're going to be in the lead at the end of this game.
11:00And by the way, you think if they are in the lead at the end of this game,
11:05two was coming out to take the final snaps. He's going to be in bubble wrap on the bench.
11:12So while normally I would not celebrate a victory before I was certain and, and hard rock vet hadn't
11:18even cashed it out. They did on his second scramble that went for, you know, 10 yards or
11:22whatever. But, uh, I was celebrating that one. I said, there is no situation. And then at the end
11:28of the first half, actually, um, I saw something that I had not thought of, which is Josh Allen.
11:35Like the bills got the ball back with like four seconds left and they kneeled on it at the end of
11:41the first half. Cause they're deep in their own territory and they just want to get the second half
11:44there. And I thought to myself, Ooh, there's a situation where two of them might end up kneeling
11:48on the ball. They get the ball back. There's one second left in the half and they just say kneel on
11:53it. So, but regardless, the two are rushing over cashes once again, if they have a kneel down
12:00situation, put Matt Jude on or Zach sealer at quarterback, because it just sounds like a good
12:05idea. Goose them anywhere. Um, that got all right. We have a ton to get to. We're going to talk about
12:13the game. We'll preview, uh, uh, Kimbo camper is going to join us. We've got our final pair of
12:19ever clear tickets to give away this afternoon. We're still giving away that pair of tickets to
12:25see Mike Tyson. He's bringing his return of the Mike show to the Seminole hard rock hotel and casino

12:37you want to win tickets, the code word today is kid K I D text kid to two zero three five
12:44seven. That's two zero three five seven. You can get more info at wqam.com. It is a text
12:49contest message and data rates may apply. Do not text and drive. You can purchase tickets
12:54at ticket master, but if you want to win the Mike Tyson tickets, text the word kid K I D to
13:01two zero three five seven, by the way, Matthew K Chuck will be the celebrity guest picker
13:07or the college game day broadcast, which we had suggested at the beginning of the week.
13:13And I think that is a, an excellent choice by them. Um, we'll get headlines here. Start up.
13:18I did. I did text Pat McAfee. I think what they call the kids call it left on red.
13:25Well, I think that happened to us with Desmond Howard, who listens to this show. Didn't you
13:29text Desmond Howard Solana? I did. I texted them and, uh, left on red as well from old
13:35des lights off, lights off, lights off Hawk. Headline brought to you by Darrell Hyundai home
13:45of the price Cito, our lowest price. Visit us at Darrell Hyundai or Darrell Hyundai.com.
13:50I'll read this from ESPN. You mentioned the two, a tongue of my lowest stat from BJ. That was
13:55alarming. Since Mike McDaniel took over in 2022, Miami is three and 14 against teams that entered
14:05the game with winning records compared to 25 and 12 against teams entering the game 500 or worse.
14:12And then they write the dolphins have lost eight straight regular season games against teams that
14:17entered with winning records, tying their longest streak in such games from Crowder's era. Oh, six to
14:2308. Thanks Crowder. No, those two stats are connected. I just go back to week one, Buffalo
14:31Ravens, two Superbowl contenders. That game was 41 40. It was one in the last three minutes of the
14:38fourth quarter. That's when good teams play good. Good teams are good late in games. You can get a big
14:45ass lead and then the other team comes back and then you'll be in the fourth quarter with a single
14:50digit deficit or advantage. That's when good teams play well is late in the fourth quarter.
14:55Somebody texts in Hockman is such a dolphins apologist. It's sickening. They suck. Yeah.
15:02What show are you listening to? I'm sorry. What, huh? Because I said they didn't get embarrassed last
15:11night. I'm an apologist. They didn't get embarrassed last night. They were in a position, you know,
15:17it would have been great. It was if two had brought them down to score and Mike McDaniel went for two.
15:22Gov it up your Buffalo butts. Oh, they were going to do that for sure. For sure. For sure.
15:29No, for sure. No, he wouldn't be right. Why go to overtime with Josh Allen? He's going to score a
15:35touchdown. Cause you, you just went touchdown for touchdown with them for four quarters. Let's run
15:41another quarterback. No, you, you have all the momentum. You can win the game right now. And Mike
15:47McDaniel notoriously likes to go for two. He likes to do things like that. Go for it. I'm fourth down
15:52go for two because the analytics say, so he was going for two, 100%. And I think they were going to
15:58do the push push money. No, Julian Hill is money going. Oh goodness. Right. Wasn't there only two
16:04point conversion this season to Julian Hill? I think it's the only reception Julian Hill had ever
16:09caught before yesterday. The one that he juggled. Come on, man. The one he juggled. That was the
16:17one. Yeah. Then he catches the ball yesterday and gets dumped on his head. You didn't see that dude?
16:25Come on, Julian. Just throw this out there. We might have a kicker controversy coming up in a
16:32little. I'll get to it later on. I'll tell you what, this Riley Patterson is money. This Riley
16:37Patterson is money. I'm not going to admit whether or not I was rooting for him to miss the extra
16:43bunch. Oh, it'd have been great for the show. I was thinking to myself, so Tua takes him down,
16:57ties the game up, goes to overtime. Dolphins miraculously hold the bills to a field goal.
17:05And now they drive down the field. Bills hold them. Of course, Riley Patterson just needs to
17:10tie it up. And he, Matt Prater's it. You see that Matt Prater take at the beginning of the game?
17:15Looked like me out there. That was one of Solana's go-to names during the Riley Patterson arguments.
17:21Won them the game a couple of weeks ago. I'm saying, you know.
