Dolphins vs Raiders In-Game Thread Week #1

Unread post by Rick In Bakersfield »

Well, the 2026 NFL season is finally here.

We have practically a new coaching staff. Two new QB's, free agent signings, draft picks.

Do we have something to look forward to this season?

What is it going to take to get a win over Miami?

:grin:

That was very encouraging first half. Now we see if this team can play 3rd quarter football.

I would like to see our defense create some turnovers.

1st half thoughts?

A very well coached offense.

Need more firepower at the point of attack on defense.

Its a great start for this new era.

That was an awesome half especially considering that Bowers didn’t even play.

Just got back from eating after 12 hours on the road. Got the game on via the iPad. Looks good so far (caught some in the sports bar).

Im not going to put too much stock into this game as it's the first of the season and it's Miami who for all intents and purposes, blew it up and is tanking, but the offense looks like a complete 180 from last year and the team looks better in general

Cousins TD pass to Jeanty perfect in all respects. The TD to Bech as also very nice.
It’s a long flight from Miami and I can see why they aren’t excited about their team. They didn’t even support their team well 25 years ago when they were consistently making the playoffs.

Christmas might’ve come early as that’s all many wanted to see this year. It’s a great start tho.
