We could lose more games next year simply based off the increased difficulty in schedule, finishing 2nd in the division. Our strength of victory...

Could be steep, ya, but ya gotta start somewhere. Somewhere between there and a 2021 2nd and 2022 1st.
Yep, that 3 pick is much more valuable than the proposed trade. For a drop to 19 I'm asking for 1st/2nd picks for 3 years.
Umm...Miami's Defense was #1 in the league on 3rd downs in 2020.
Could still see a Tua/Smith reunion...only in Houston...not sure how I feel about that lol.
Yes, "they" still only won 4 games...not he. They had severe issues due to HC/GM incompetence. In the immortal words of Gunny Highway, the guy...
We'll see how it shakes out come the draft. That's the great thing about guessing and trying to predict what they'll do. Nobody ever gets it...
We'll see...teams do stupid **** all the time. Miami drafted Tannehill (who I still love btw, not dogging him) at 7...that was WAY too high. He...

Some of these prospects for 2021 would be well-served to do up their own "combine" type workout video and send it out to teams. Will be...
That's one entertaining breakdown right there.
Lance at a trade-down to 12th or so would be least painful I guess.
I think it would be ludicrous to take a QB in the 1st. I also think it would be ludicrous to NOT hedge against potentially moving on from Tua in...
Agreed. There should be some great opportunity to bring in some above-average players at a very reasonable cap hit...and I believe Grier/Flo can...

There will be a lot of opportunity this coming FA period...not a bad consolation prize eh?
Its not about accurate results, its about probabilities and predictions. Its not accurate fact until it happens, of course.
It will be interesting and unique, this situation, as far as I can remember, has NEVER happened in the Super Bowl era. And like you said, Miami,...
Never.
I bet the Houston owner lets Easterby go...unless ego is making the decision, in which case, we BETTER be on the phone!

Ya ya...and in 2010, nobody gave a damn what you had to say...some things never change.
My take is this, and it will represent my last post in this thread. Tannehill ALWAYS showed improvement in his game. It may have been small...
What you CAN notice is all the busted coverage stuff he takes advantage of. A good chunk of that is probably from his run threat. What you can...
I dunno man...we gave him opportunity to show the rest of the league just how inept he was...in spades. For Jets management to believe in him...
On one hand, I'm sick of playing the Ravens as they seem to have had our number for many years. On the other, that should be a good barometer of...
I don't believe Tua is a lost cause/bust/crap QB, whatever you want to call it. I believe we'll see a much improved player in 2021, you can't...
If it were up to me, that pick, along with a few more and Tua, would be headed to Houston, and Deshaun would be sporting an aqua 4.
I think that could be the start of the convo...and they BETTER be having that convo... You don't get the chance at a franchise/borderline elite...
Have one to add... Ryan Tannehill would've been proficient deep into the 2020 post-season as a Miami Dolphin.
I really hope they can take out the ****birds again...but they don't have Pees anymore and that defense is not ready for primetime. Gonna be a...
Maybe Beasley's injury is a lot worse than it looked?

Very possible, ya. If it shakes out how I'm hoping it will (Miami win @ Buffalo and Cleveland loses out), we'd be at Pittsburgh round 1, and...

Just like Flo drew it up...who's next?
Chance at a turnover here...come on get X, X.
All I heard coming into this game was how bad LV's passing D was...yet we call this gameplan...
He's a bum...shouldn't even be starting on STs IMO. LV D came to play...Dolphins not-so-much.
Oh Smith is on a few short lists already...so far I've seen Jags, Chargers, and I believe Lions.
Running backs you say? Like that fastest runner in the NFL through week 15, one Mr. Salvon Ahmed (video below)?...
Fastest ball-carrier this season so far? Kinda surprising:...
Next Gen Stats: "Ryan Tannehill reached a top speed of 20.13 mph on his 17-yard TD run, the 3rd fastest speed reached by a QB on a TD run this...
That defense is REALLY letting that team down, in a big way. They can still potentially miss the playoffs if they don't clamp down some.
What's even crazier, is right now, the Dolphins have the #1 defense in the NFL...and the Titans are the #1 offense in the NFL... [MEDIA]
My brain just exploded........
Isn't it crazy? Last year, you NEVER could've convinced me I'd be pulling for the Pats in a game...ever... So let's all say it...

Gah...voted a bunch of times. I don't think he can catch Chase Young.
No business on the field as a WR IMO. Put Perry in there over him, the waterboy, IDGAF, just no more Grant.
100%. Shame I could only like it once.
I didn't like our chances much at all, then Gaskins gets on the COVID list...like 'em even less now :( Looking like we're about to get boat-raced.

Absolutely not...far lower. I know people personally that have died from other things, but were attributed to Covid.
248k deaths holds no water whatsoever, sorry.
With that Titans Defense and Special Teams, they wouldn't have a prayer.
Love those kinds of stories...makes it even easier to pull for the guy.
Voted for the throwbacks, of course!
Imagine if he had even one of his main two guys from Bama on this team... That would be something to see.
Pure class.

First question I ask myself is, "would Bill O'Brian trade him away in this scenario?" I believe that answer is yes, so the Dolphins won't do it.

NFL receivers will eat him up on PI calls...except maybe in the post-season.

I'm glad he doesn't watch football.
Agree...and I'd hate to see their HC get that kind of a haul...then again, it may be fun to watch him squander it.
So the two on rookie contracts are considered generational, or at least, early-elite guys. REALLY hard to peg those. That's the NFL lottery...

Barring career ending injury, he will go down as the GOAT...hands down. At least, that's my prediction.

Complete team ***-whoopin'.
They're just not playing at the level they have been for a while now. Physicality isn't there.

Hence, "he DOES usually do a lot better in the 2nd half."
I just hoped they had a better showing than this. At least play your *** off and leave it all on the field...not give Mahomes an ezmode rushing...
I gotta say KC's defense is holding Henry back better than I thought they would. I mean, he has 62 yards, but for him lately, that's a low number...
And their defense has been so swarming and physical...letting them down hard.
You gotta take that opportunity to nail him...damn...pathetic defense.
They looked like they were scared to knock his *** out...terrible.
Last thing the Chiefs want to do is give THIS team a 24-0 head start...they won't fall apart like the Texans did.
