OL and OL coach. This is the week to get rid of Jim Turner. He cannot keep his job. OL worst in the history of the NFL. Waive Clabo now. Worst RT I've ever seen. QB not progressing. Not sure you what you do about that. We just have to continue to evaluate and hopefully he can get over the hump. Right now, he's a mess. Of course, with this OLine, he cannot be expected to do any better. Kicker. I like Sturgis on FGs, but you cannot kick the ball out of bounds...EVER. What in the hell was that? We need to find a kicker to handle kickoff duties. CS cannot be trusted. Today, he sucked. Rookie Class? WTH are they? We traded up for Dion Jordon? Really? Why? He is a ghost...some people believe he exist, but there is no concrete evidence of him. Jamar Taylor...geez. Grimes = Chump. Big time. Why is everyone so enamored with this guy? He's God Awful. Running game? Need new backs, but see OLine. No back would be good with this group. Mike Wallace...what a waste of money. This guy sucks so bad...Ridiculous how bad he is. I would be in favor of scrapping this whole failed experiment, Head Coach and all...and starting over. The reason I say this is because if Tannehill isn't the answer (and I dont think he is) we're going to be scrapping it all and starting over any way after next year. Do we run that risk? The owner probably will, but I think its a mistake. Philbin isn't the answer. I am convinced about that. Bottom line...FAIL!
You are the worst poster in the history of forums. You had so many chances at legitimate gripes about the team today and you swung and missed.
I feel like you just looked at the box score of the game. Dion Jordan caused the pick 6. Grimes was all over Torrey Smith. Smith just made great plays. If Clabo is the worst RT you've ever seen, you haven't been a Dolphins fan very long.
I agree with Grimes gripe, he's had a disappointing 6 quarters, for his standards. We need him to be a shutdown corner.
If I agreed with this,and I dont, your first paragraph would answer as to why that might be. As for my second highlighted sentence of yours----> But, these are your opinions and you`re allowed to offer them.
You want people to take this seriously when you say Jordan is a ghost... when he's the reason for the pick 6? Ok... awesome. After that, theres just really nothing left to address.
If this thread is moved to Soap Box rants then phinsational's "OH NOOO" thread should definitely be moved. It's pretty much the very definition of a soap box rant thread. It takes far more aim at other posters than it does the topic of the Miami Dolphins.
Are you kidding me? I am drinking wine and eating cheese. I am not stressing, certainly not the point of lacking oxygen. ROFL.
Thanks. I appreciate that. I know, I know...everyone thinks our QB and HC are awesome. And they can think that. I will get personally attacked as if I threw the INTs or I didnt have this team prepared. I am used to it by now.
My post does not take aim at any other poster. I am the target of other posters. I think I understand you are saying that "phinsational" or whoever does that. I don't even address other posters other than just defending my own opinions.
Why should I be banned? Because you dont agree with me? I am Fins fan with an opinion on why we suck. Why does my opinion have to conform to yours or anyone elses? I am not cursing, I am not disrespecting others. I am commenting about the team. If I am wrong, how about stating what you disagree with? That's striking here that some of you immediately jump to ""BAN HIM" because I am "reactionary". A little reactionary yourself, no? My opinions may be right, they may be wrong, but they can be leigitimately debated.
I dont care that people take me seriously. Thats their right to think what they will. I am a bit shocked at the "I disagree, so ban him" reaction. How about either correct me or ignore me. Why the move to ban me?
No. You should be banned because you come in and spew crap that is so untrue, anyone that is actually a dolphins fan and not a troll wouldn't spew. Like Dion Jordan was invincible. He had multiple pressures on the QB. He also cause the game tying interception. either you didn't watch the game, or you are just straight up a troll and should be banned. Which is it?
Anyone who says Brent Grimes and Mike Wallace are "God Awful" are most certainly trolling. Also saying we need to find a new kicker for kick offs. All because Sturgis, our machine kicker, had one bad kick. Also saying Philbin isn't the answer is a pretty troll-y too. Guy is in his 2nd year and has a winning record at the moment. This dude is either trolling or he has unrealistic expectations.
Yea. I could of went on for days. But chose not to. It's a joke I have to come on here and read this ****. There is plenty of bad play or questionable **** going on with this team, where I don't need to come on here to read a bunch of dumb and unrealistic ****.
So, thats the only choice? I am either a troll or I am unrealistic? Nothing else? It can't be that I think Mike Wallace is grossly overpaid for the amount of passes he drops? It can't be that having a kickoff specialist is a good idea so you don't give a team needing a FG the ball at the 40? And you might want to relook at Philbin's record...is it really a winning record?
ROFLMAO. This is classic. I am so sorry you have to come here and read this. If I would have known that you didn't have a choice, that you were forced to come here, I might have said something a bit more uplifting.
Saying Wallace is overpaid and drops too many passes is legit. Saying he's "God Awful" is not. Sturgis goofed, that doesn't mean we need a new kicker. Come on man.
Rocky...you think its not legit to say he's God Awful. I think its exactly on point. You think Sturgis goofed. I think its to much responsibility for him to do both jobs. Cut the stupid third string QB and get a kickoff specialist. To me it makes too much sense. You think one thing, I think some thing else. I don't call you a troll or any other name. You are someone who disagrees with me. Why does that make me worse than you?
OL and OL Coach - I agree that the OLine is an issue. Personally, I have less issues with our tackles than most as I take into account that we have faced 3 straight playoff teams with premier pass rushers on the outside. These guys get plays off. Our tackles don't. As for our tackles, they are average at best. Martin is in his first season at LT and has progressed, but ocassionally gets schooled. Like today. As for Clabo, he is on the downside of his career. Not the worst, but still struggling. RG, Jerry, I do want replaced and ASAP. Hopefully Watkins can step in after the bye. On the coach, Turner hasn't impressed. QB - a work in progress. He seems to be coached for "1, 2, throw". Kid simply doesn't have the time to set up and deliver on most plays. This is why we see so many 3 step and fire drops. Kicker - has been a phenom. Still, no one boots them all perfectly every time. Completely disagree with your assessment. Rookie class - DJordan has had an impact in every game. He had several pressures and hits and was responsible for the pick 6 being thrown in the first place. Sturgis has been very good. Taylor has played, but lacks experience. Philbin simply does not play rookies that much until the final quarter of a season. No point in expecting them to do much this season but learn schemes. Any plays, ala Jordan, are icing. Grimes - gave up some passes. No TDs. Was victimized by the Refs on a PI call. Has pretty shutout some premier talent. Picked Luck. Brees specifically stayed away from him. No idea why you think he is awful. Running game - non-existent today, but we have been able to run in other games. Sherman abandoned the run in the Browns and Colts games too early IMO. Wallace - too early to dog him as a bust or waste. He does need to step up his toughness. He is letting DBs press him off the line and knock him off routes. He also doesn't jump up to meet balls, but seems to wait for them to drop in. He has to show more on field cognizance of where he is on the field, along the sidelines, and where he is in relationship to LBs and safeties and that the QB is going to fire the ball away from them and expect it. He also has to realize that when premier pass rushers like Dumervill and Suggs are applying pressure that he has to help his QB out by working back to him and presenting a target. Starting over after a season and 1/4? Wow. I think that's a very poor estimation of where we're at and where we will be by the end of the season. You can't honestly make that sort of uninformed opinion without a wider body of work from Philbin and the team. 3-4 seasons is the norm. Takes that long for a coach to get "his" players and his system in place. That mentality is why the Browns and Raiders languish in agony every couple seasons. Look at their history. They dumped Shanahan and Bellichek after a season or two because the results weren't immediate and the fans weren't happy. Both have gone on to win SBs with new teams that were willing to give them time and let them put their people in place. Fail? We lost a game. Whether we fail to have a successful season, or show growth, will be determined at the end of the season. This assessment is akin to giving a student a 16 question exam and snatching the paper away after 5 questions have been responded to with 2 wrong answers...
Sturgis kicks the ball through the end zone 95% of the time! We don't need a kickoff specialist. I'm sorry that you feel that way, but that's just insane to think. He made ONE mistake. Cut him some slack.
And in that 5%, he gave a team that only needed a fg to beat us a short field. Can't happen. Ever. We need to have someone whose ONLY job is kick it out of the endzone. That was brutal.
Ok, fair points. I disagree about Philbin. I think he's in way over his head. Its true the Raiders and Browns are quick on the hook with their coaches. The Lions have not been. The Chargers have not been. The Chiefs have not been. The Saints weren't for the longest time...and they sucked. And look at the Chiefs this year. As soon as they got rid of their loser HC and QB, they start winning games. There are two ways to look at it. IF hes the right guy, we will be okay in two years, at least. If hes NOT the right guy, we are going to suck for another 5-6 years. Not a gamble I am willing to take, esp not when his QB is getting killed because he can't put together a solid oline.
No, of course mistakes are going to happen. Have we done ALL we can to mitigate them? That is the question. If we have a FT KO Specialist and he still screws up, then screw us. But to have a rookie, under the stress of kicking 45 plus yard FGs....it showed on the kickoff. And it cost us the game. Thats all.
it is a joke. It used to annoy me to read his stuff. Now it provides a lil chuckle b/c you know it's so over the top.
I came here and posted that I thought the Fins did better than I thought they would. Not sure what that has to do with the way the Fins played? Oh, wait...you just want to attack the poster and ignore the performance of the team. Got it.
it has everything to do with the way the Fins played b/c when they're winning you're silent as a mouse, meaning- you're the one ignoring the performance of the team. You only show up to sh** on stuff and antagonize others but for some whacked reason think you're acting like an innocent, objective, congenial fan. It's like you've exited a crowded restaurant's bathroom with a ten foot piece of dirty toilet paper draped from the back of your pants and everyone in the restaurant easily notices it, but you try to play it off like it's a natural part of the wardrobe. You're not fooling anybody. You might think you are, but you're not.
Yes, and his user name is after a famous poet who did his more inspired work when he was in an opium induced stupor, so we have a latter day Coleridge trying to emulate that approach.
