Titans (4-8) vs Dolphins (9-3) Monday Night Football

I'm ready for hard knocks to die in a fire. **** it. It's nothing but a distraction.

 

Again on national TV. Well at least this ends the TUA for MVP ****. No way an MVP candidate loses at home to a 4 win team! NO WAY.
Coach should be embarrassed for his play calling after up 14 points with 2:43 mins to go... Defense looked horrible once again giving up massive chunk yardage.

yes Im ranting some, but they are cooked now. The are going to be limping into the playoffs. We loss two more game and if we win the division I will be surprised. We may even lose to the Jets and we for sure lose to the Cowboys who actually have the MVP IMHO and I hate the cowboys and we lose to the Ravens. We lose to Buffalo at home again in the final game. We take a 4 or possibly 5 game losing streak into the Playoffs.

We're one and done in playoffs as a wildcard and we have a ton of offseason crap to deal with. I hate being a dolphins FAN

 

We've had the easiest schedule in the NFL so far. It's only going to get tougher from now on.

 

Bad game all around. We were badly outcoached and even with Tennessee trying hard to give the game away, badly out-executed, too. Hopkins pulled a reverse Cheetah on us and even though we knew he was the target, still managed to get wide open and catch the ball for gashes. This might be Tua's worst game in two years. Seems like we ran a lot of inside zone even though that's not what our line does well. Lots to complain about; lots to fix; lots to forget.

The good news is the coach should have little problem getting everybody's attention this week.

 

i never said dont do motion, i did say quit throwing sideways and behind line.

 

Terrible effort in the 4th quarter and down the stretch, not sure what McDaniel was thinking. Hopefully Tyreek is okay. Tua was way off tonight without the speed on the field, play calling was way off on both sides of the ball. Not sure what happened but at least everyone else lost this weekend too (besides Baltimore).

Gotta get this cleaned up in a hurry!

 

again

 

Hill has to be out there even if for a decoy at the end. just complete terrible coaching

 

We all know who the real MVP is on the team...Austin Jackson because at least he can stay on the field.

 

we never blitzed at the end, just rushed 4 making it easy for him

 

Or... maybe Hill said he couldn't go. Or... maybe the trainers/medical staff said he couldn't go? Perhaps he re-injured it again. It was pretty clear watching Hill go to the sidelines all the time that he was in a great deal of pain. But keep on painting that picture Bob Ross.

 

again

 

Thanks for that. I really needed that laugh.

 

BUT, he did go back out on the very last play, so there is that.................injured or not he needs to go stand out there so the defense thinks about him, unless he cant walk.

 

After this game, and all the injuries, I think Miami is going to concede that Week 18 will be for the division title and hope Buffalo falters along the way.

I don't think you're going to see some guys for a couple weeks. Hill included.

 

I know. I said it myself he should be out there when it happened. I'm just saying, keep that in mind before blaming the coach. Just playing devils advocate.

 

it is feeling that way for sure.

 

this one is all on the coach and his play calling. no need to throw a screen out to Hill when he torches people all over the field. Tua does not have the arm to make the throw out there to Achane, floats it out there almost getting him killed, then in crunch time coach calls the same stupid play. tries to be cute with play calling in red zone twice and we end with field goals inside the 10. Second half he runs and we get 2 TD's.... hopefully he has now learned something.

 

Joke of a team still with a prettier shell hidden by a weak schedule. Its still the dolphins folks. **** tua too btw. That man can't grow a pair in the nfl to save his life. Amazing college player that got ruined by the dolphins early in his career. Love the guy but not the dude at qb. We are still the dolphins until further notice. I love you all and i hope you guys have a good holiday!

 

We better hope the Cowboys beat the Bills, but even THAT may not be enough now. Beat the teams you should and Miami is at 11 wins and the division crown. Instead, we can't even count out losing to the Jets -let alone some tough games to end the regular season. A five game losing streak is now possible.

It's just unreal how this team repeats the failed past again-and-again.

 

New here but have been a fan all my life but I have to express my absolute disgust at tonight's game.
----------------
Play calling was horrific. QB play was horrific. Defense was horrific. Everything except some plays here and there.

QB: F-, where is Tua's passion? He overthrew/underthrew receivers, slipped several times and generally looked slow and apathetic out there. Yes, the O-line is banged up and Hill was in and out of the game but there are other targets. The fumbles are simply inexcusable at this level and he's got to speed up his reads especially if the O-line can't protect him. Floaty balls are also going to get his WR's killed.

O-Line: D-, again, they are banged up but the pocket collapsed way too many times and doesn't help when Tua was wandering around like an Ambien-zombie.

RB: B, not bad but not enough to win especially when the defense is expecting a run when you give them the same exact looks.

WR's: C, Hill was strong when healthy and Waddle made some plays when he wasn't double covered. Where was Barrios? Smythe? Removing Hill shows how one dimensional this team is....don't be surprised if Hill is double and even triple covered the rest of the season.

D-Line: C, Chubb was a beast, Wilkens played well and Henry wasn't significant until later in the game when the Miami D was tired (thanks to the sh!tty offense in general). Still, this was a 4-8 team with a rookie starter who has never won on the road. Defensive delay of game in the last 3 minutes? WTF!?

Secondary: F-, Xavien Howard was literally burned toast by a washed up receiver and rookie QB. Ramsey should have been moved or at least Hopkins double-covered. The decision to NOT protect the sidelines in the last 5 minutes and burn the clock is absolutely negligent. Fangio was outcoached consistently in this game and should have a long, uncomfortable sit-down with McDaniel tomorrow.

Special Teams: C+, ok.

Coaching: F-, play calling was horrific. Trying to do the same thing over and over again fed right into Vrabel's plan to contain us. Clock-management was horrible, spent timeouts to stop delays of game are simply not acceptable at this level. Where was the urgency? The tempo was so slow that plays were predictable. Zero discipline from this team tonight which is coaching IMO.

Summary: F, unless they dig in and make changes, this team is going to lose out the rest of the season in typical Dolphins December fashion. I hope I'm wrong but IF (a big 'If") they make the playoffs, they are going to lose first round to any of the teams that will be there: Ravens, Jacksonville, KC, Bills, and yes the Browns, Steelers and even the lowly Colts.

We are in big, big trouble.

 

Worst loss of McDaniels head coaching career. That was awful. We straight up went braindead and our defense went to sleep..

 

Chubb pretty much admits the team didn't take this game seriously. Huge indictment on the head coach here.

 

If the Dolphins don't make the playoffs and win one game I am out. I can't do it with this awful franchise anymore.

 

It’s not that he hasn’t got the arm, it’s how he chooses to throw them imho. We saw that when he threw the out to Tyreek for about 30 yards, it had plenty of zip on it in between 2 defenders.

 

Last night was a gut punch for me, I just didn’t see that coming. They have been so good at winning games where they matched up well so I thought last night would be a 2 score game.

After a sleep and thinking about it I think they ended up with 9 backups playing between the offence and defence at the end. SS, FS, MLB, OLB, LT, LG, C, RG and WR1 were all off the field for the final few drives.

The injury bug is hitting hard now.

 

I'm staying positive. Everything happens for a reason. If getting embarrassed on MNF on national TV is what they need to get their focus back oh well. We'll be back next week talking about getting that #1 seed.

 

I went to bed and we were winning.

Wake up and they lost. ****ing pathetic.

 

I did the same. Ahhh!

 

Imagine how you would feel if you sat up till 04:45am to watch them throw the game away.

 

Cancelled NFL plus, deleted all NFL and sports related apps from phone. I'm checking out and refuse to give the NFL/the Dolphins anymore of my time. I'll check the standings weeks 18 and if they're not in the playoffs this is my last post.

 

Don't forget to change your username to Chicken Little.

 

I can see a 9-8 record looming. Rogers might be playing Sunday so that will help the Jets and I can't see us winning any of the last 3.
The coach continues to make bad decisions on offense and the QB crumbles under any pressure.

 

My subconscious may have feared that and sent me to bed.

 

Relax guys. It's ONE game. All teams have had bumps in the road this season. We still have a great chance at the #1 seed. Baltimore can easily lose two or three more games.

 

I said that from the very beginning…as much as I like seeing the ins and outs of the team, it’s nothing more than a distraction.

I could be wrong, but it sure seems to me that since the bye and the entire BS of Hard Knocks, the Dolphins, particularly on offense has been playing subpar.

 

I swear if I see this team doing one more awful choreographed celebration down the stretch, something’s getting broken. If they had been worried less about how they would celebrate and more focused on closing the game, that loss never happens. McDaniel now has himself in the difficult position of having to be the “fun coach” that’s gotta put a stop to some of the fun.

 

This is the same old Dolphins team fellas. December fails all around and that was a home game against a crappy team with an inexperienced quarterback. The Jets suddenly look good over the last two weeks and regardless of the Rodgers situation, they are going to show up ready to fight. We're in trouble.

 

The Raiders made it closer than it should have been. Then we spanked the Jets and Redskins. Last night was a classic trap game. IMO the biggest problem with Hard Knocks is it affect on Hill. Maybe they're legit injuries but it seems to me he's been a total drama queen with various injuries since the show started. Last night he sprints off the field and comes back late in the game. Why is he out for three quarters and miraculously returns for the end? I feel like he's trying to add drama for the cameras and it's just hurting the offense. It's getting old.
