It came at the expense of my Dolphins, but congratulations to Kirk Cousins!
My man couldn’t have scripted a better start to the season. The Las Vegas Raiders quarterback carved up the Miami Dolphins for three touchdowns in a 27-13 Week 1 win, crossing the 300 career passing touchdown threshold as only the 15th signal-caller in league history to hit the mark.
It wasn’t an entirely flawless Silver and Black debut for the veteran, however, who arrived over the offseason from the Atlanta Falcons. Cousins threw a pair of interceptions while going 21-of-30 for 160 yards, but history is history, right?

With 301 career touchdown passes now under his belt, Cousins moves past John Elway (300) to take 14th on the all-time list.
And that’s not the only history that the 38-year-old pulled off, as the scoring from Cousins snapped a two-decade franchise drought, becoming the first quarterback to throw for three touchdowns in a Raiders season opener since Kerry Collins achieved the feat against the New England Patriots in 2005.

Now let’s shift to my Miami Dolphins, because a declaration needs to be made.
After the Raiders defeat, the Phins are facing a very realistic situation where they could go 0-7 to start out the season. Not only is Miami in rebuilding mode and loaded with rookies, but they have an extremely tough schedule this year. The Vegas game was the only winnable one for a while.
So, here’s what needs to happen: TANK THE FRIGGIN’ SEASON.

— SleeperDolphins (@SleeperMiami) September 13, 2026Blow it up and position this franchise to draft Arch Manning or bring South Florida’s own Jeremiah Smith back home. Arch gives you the pedigree, the arm and the savior under center that this organization has spent decades failing to find.
And if it isn’t Manning, Smith is the kind of generational talent that turns an entire offense into must-see television.
At this point, I haven’t decided exactly who I want, but tanking the year desperately needs to happen.
