I didn't know Welker was the Dolphins WR Coach. Last I knew he was with the 49ers.

From Wikipedia

Miami Dolphins (as a coach)[edit]​

in February 2022, Welker chose to follow head coach Mike McDaniel, the former offensive coordinator for the 49ers, to be the wide receivers coach on McDaniel's inaugural coaching staff with the Miami Dolphins.[198]

That's good news actually.

Wes is 0 and 4 in Super Bowls as a receiver and coach. He lost two SB's as a receiver in NE, one in Denver, and one as a coach in SF.

He's a bad luck charm in SB's.

I have no idea what any of this means. I guess because I don't gamble?

 

[BigKen]

Miami is favored by 9.5 points and they don't think that both teams will score a total of more than 47 points.

Considering the Injury Reports, 9.5 is a bunch.

With a fully loaded team and the Patriots in shambles, the Dolphins won the first game by 7. If Hill and Waddle are sidelined, The Dolphins will be lucky to escape with a win let alone a ten pointer.

I work with a Phin fan, he said Hill is a go.

 

[sharkymcwrath]

I work with a Phin fan, he said Hill is a go.

He practiced on Thursday and was supposedly a full participant so very likely, yes.

 

[Southieinnc]

Dolphins are projecting everybody will play. I doubt it.
Ramsey has said he has not made that decision.
Players returning from IR that have been limited in practice would be limited in the game.
Secondary is still trashed.
27th ranked defense.
HIT TUA!

...and was the direct cause of one of those losses.. If he makes a clear read and turns the correct direction he probably strolls in for a TD.

 

[BigKen]

HIT TUA!

They may have the WRs who both will be less than 100%, but they don't have three of their original OL. They loss Wynn, who has been the best of the rest. Blitz a CB, S or LB every time Tua has to throw. He's not trying to run for 1st downs very often. Use the same defense that was used to keep Josh Allen under lock and key. Tua isn't as big and/or as physically strong as Allen. Those five missed tackles will be sacks against Tua.

 

[molsaniceman]

Patriots WR Tyquan Thornton is a healthy scratch for Week 8 against the Dolphins.
It has Thornton looking like the latest “mega yikes” receiver selection by the Pats’ long-struggling front office. Thornton is shaping up as a shaky Dynasty league hold even though he is still only 23 and one year removed from being a second-round pick. Joining Thornton on the sidelines are WR Kayshon Boutte, QB Will Grier, EDGE Josh Uche, OT Vederian Lowe and OT Calvin Anderson.

 

[molsaniceman]

Dolphins CB Xavien Howard (knee) is inactive for Week 8 against the Patriots.
Howard’s second straight absence comes as Jalen Ramsey (knee) makes his Dolphins debut. Howard has been practicing in a limited fashion the past two weeks but can’t make it out onto the Sunday gridiron. Hopefully he doesn’t eventually require sports-hernia surgery. Joining Howard on the shelf are QB Skylar Thompson, S Jevon Hollard, WR Robbie Chosen and NT Brandon Pili.

LFG!

 

[Southieinnc]

I'll have to watch this evening on NFL+
Not on regular TV here......

 

[BigKen]

So far the defense is standing up. Dugger just picked off Tua.

BOB is trying to run the ball a bit too much.

3rd and 4.

TD.........................Bourne!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

24 yard pass from Mac.

7-0 PATRIOTS

 

[BigKen]

Miami HC MacDaniel calls the offensive plays.

Tua hits HIll who got behind the defense for the TD, CB playing wide the Safety playing on the markers and Hill just blew by both.

Cannot play him eights back. Hit the MF at the line and disrupt his path.

7-7

 

[BigKen]

Mac and BOB cannot throw short passes to the WR at the line. Especially if there is CB or LB on the line of scrimmage.

This is where Brady would tap his helmet and go to a second called play.

2nd and 10 will bring the Miami blitz.

End of the 1st quarter.

 

[BigKen]

Eliiot fumbles out of bounds,

Holding on Bourne 2nd and 18.

 

[BigKen]

Another horrible run. Elliot tries to run ten yards right and gets three.

No call on a push of Mac after the throw.

Penalty

False start.

4th and 21

Mami will start from their own 47

 

[BigKen]

Holding on Gochaux.
