I think those mechanical inconsistencies have been, well, consistent this season

Not only was it a miracle that Herbert didn’t fumble on the first pressure, but we totally bust to gift wrap them the game clinching play. Frustrating. I thought KJ played well, but if he stays home this is a game-ending sack

Who cares, right? But this should’ve been a game-clinching fumble. That’s really bad ball security and the fact that he had it in one hand with three bodies on him and it didn’t result in a fumble is kinda crazy.

I say this to set this up. On those last two drives Tua went 14/15 with 99 yards +TD. But he completed passes to 8 diff pass catchers - that's the ticket, it's been the ticket, even when Reek was healthy. There are parts on this offense. It's too late this year, but this isn't a total recalamtion.

The Dolphins went from a team that always found a way to win those tight games under Tua, to a team that cannot make the clinching play. A lot of that has been the defense, but it's the difference between 3-3, maybe even 4-2, and 1-5 and considerable change probably in the longview.

They’ve been a laughing stock for basically their entire existence outside of my formative years when they had the best player on the planet haha

Sellers could really separate himself as QB1 tonight

Rough day for the potential R1 QBs. Dante Moore probably looked the cleanest, but I think the day was indicative of the downside of this class - not a lot of playing experience (and I’m just not a Mendoza guy. Comp is Kirk Cousins).

It’s over. Skubal still hitting triple digits at 100 pitches. He’s gonna throw 130 and finish this bitch up.

It's terrible. My wife is an administrator at an elementary school and they're going to have to extend it to K-8 because they've lost so many enrollees to home schooling. And 100% of the time, the parents that are doing the home schooling are not qualified to do it. Scary times breeds scarier future

That last part is everything. Like, we always knew there were just going to be shitty people among us, unavoidable. But now they're empowered...ENCOURAGED to be shitty

When official govt accounts are tweeting pictures mocking people, our sense of human compassion is just gone. And that's all we had

It's not for me either, my man.

I hate to say this - but listen to my podcast. It's the purest version of "Travis content" we make

I cannot say engage physically without reciting the entire D.E.N.N.I.S system dialog

Chris Larrondo "From work" 🇨🇺 🇹🇹 @ltrain083.bsky.social · 3d

I have really hate listened to my Dolphins podcasts of late but I would love to give @wingfieldnfl.bsky.social a shout for the use of the D.E.N.N.I.S. system. More of this please 😂

And like, whoa! Yeah, that's THE exact type of person/reply/mindset that got us to this point.

For some personal perspective...I write here and there for the site. I've been asked to back off the personality if it all - make it BORING!

And I just fear we've lost/are losing the entire plot in life.

As I'm enjoying this perspective, I scroll to the first comment who says this:

So, you left your occupation because you felt disrespected by a 6-year-old or because you had reached retirement age?

Blaming the kid for your choices sound nonsensical, take ownership of your life.

I'll give the link but essentially it's a store of a teacher of 40 years who felt the magic of the job disappear by societal changes.

It touched me. Both for the nostalgic flair, the beauty in someone that hasn't lost that wonder... but also the grim nature of its reality.
