Oh good, I was just thinking that more Tua discussion was exactly what this forum needed! /sarcasm

Thoughts? Yawn.

Right, which is part of the problem. I see this thread bumped and think maybe something changed, but it's just Tua talk. It spills into every...

/checks Grier thread to see if any actual Grier news. Sees same old Tua talk. This forum is broken.

I complained about it ad nauseam last year when Hard Knocks showed players using practice time to choreograph TD celebrations. Everybody here...

This team has gone from one extreme to another. Flores who ran a tight ship and the players hated to McDaniel who is close with his players but...

Anyone who didn't see Tyreek Hill turning into a problem coming in a cab down main street just wasn't paying attention. He's a super gifted...

There's always hope when you have a franchise QB. One that was available and playing for his team at the end of the season, and not smirking on...

**** Tua and his hip.

Don’t tease me.

A buddy of mine bet a parlay on all the scenarios Bengals needed last week and hit big. He called Giant winning big over Indy early in the week...

If Tua doesn't play this week, which he very likely won't, the debate amongst fans should be put to rest. It's debatable if he's good enough to...

I’m saying look for a new QB. Grier should be fired, McDaniel should be given another shot with another QB. If he insists with Tua next year...

If this team needs to worry about hips and concussion with this guy it’s time to move on. Having a QB that gets treated like glass and missed so...

Tua was our backup quarterback in fantasy football. Our starter? Jalen Hurts. We had the foresight to pickup an insurance option, Drake Maye....

He’s done enough his first 2 seasons for me to not want to blow it all up because he’s going to miss the playoffs this year because he lost his...

If he has quick and immediate success in college, I'd suspect an NFL team will come barking at the end of the year leaving catching Shula back on...

Yeah, like I said pricey for sure. I’ve bought some of his other stuff and he uses quality T-shirts, and it’s unique artwork but $100 + after...

They finished the game. There was a moment it looked like it might play out the same way the Cardinals and Bills game did: solid effort lost in...

All Andy Reid does is win... With Tyreek, without Tyreek.... Fixed it for you. And that's not to disrespect Mahomes. He's a great QB, and all...

All those reports about this team being soft and not practicing hard ring a little louder when these injuries keep piling up.

If Miami is going to hire an old HC who has been out of the game for a bit, you spelled Belichick wrong.

Holy **** what a sad existence some of you must be living if you’ve been waiting to do a victory lap on your favorite team’s QB getting brained....

Worth a quick YouTube just so you'll be up to speed when this meme breaks into Twitter. It's already in the sporting world - Bryce Harper had...

The way some of you are poo pooing this you would think they were talking about bringing him in to replace Tua. Is Tannehill good enough as a...

I'm generally OK with Grier getting another season and draft to prove whether or not he should keep his job. If he fails this season, hopefully...

Damn, this is sad. Vontae had some great seasons for Miami and also after he was traded. I was sad to see him go, and I'm sad to hear he's...

Is Ted Ginn's family joining the Raiders too?

I'll never forget the sign a Dolphins fan was holding at that draft. Something to the affect of "Pick 26 is a Brees!" I can't remember if Miami...

First player to make the team under the Jimmy Johnson regime if memory servers.

He actually wants to be here so on that alone he's a better DC.

I know you guys are talking specifically about Super Bowls but a coach currently heading to the Super Bowl (Reid) is a coach I think of as being a...

Grier was there when Ireland was there. We still haven't fully wiped the stench of Ireland off this franchise. He was a generationally bad GM...

You're not kidding! And as fans, it's so easy for us to start thinking - this team is cursed. Things will never change. I certainly think that...

You have to understand, I lump myself with all the critiques I made as I am also a fan of the Miami Dolphins and struggle to look at things...

Bingo. Because fans can only seem to judge individual seasons in a vacuum and poor judges over multiple seasons. It's also very difficult for fans...

This season was a good reminder to all of us. As fans we always fall into the trap of assuming both bad and good play will continue on into...

Good point, it's definitely a dying platform of communication which is sad, because it's so much easier to follow than Twitter and Reddit, IMHO....

Good for them if they're getting paid to talk about sports. And I mean that seriously. Nothing wrong with attempting to put out an entertaining...

I've always been of the opinion you can get your revenue from paid memberships or ads, but both is double dipping in my humble opinion. I guess...

I think the reason this forum is dying a slow death is because of the decision made many years ago to charge for club membership. Paid membership...

It was said in the other thread, but at some point Miami strength and conditioning coaches and personnel have to be held accountable. It's been...

I'd estimate at least 2/3rds of the league would take McDaniel over their current head coach given the chance, including some current playoff teams.

I agree, I think coaches like Campbell are cheerleaders who can motivate a team to do well for a stretch, but I'll take McDaniel who can grow into...

I've been a Dolphins fan my whole life, and I was just as negative as anyone else last night and still am today. I'm not trying to tell anyone...

I think your period button is stuck.

I do worry a little bit about this myself. I still believe McDaniel is a great coach who I hope is the coach here for years to come, but at some...

Yeah, the NFL is shockingly ignorant to how little NFL fans care about Taylor Swift. They want to see her all through the playoffs so expect all...

This thread is a fraud. I'm as sick as every other fan about these recent losses, but saying McDaniel is a fraud is an epic knee Jerk. Do you...

No way am I watching this week. This show is depressing and gross after a loss. As soon as this team started spending practice time working on...

They shot themselves in the foot and missed out on a home playoff game to make a few bucks. Sucks for the rest of us Dolphin fans but serves them...

Agreed. At some point it’s not just bad luck when injuries derail seasons year after year.

I just bet my fanduel wad on the Chiefs. Obviously I hope I lose, but seems like free money the way this team is looking down the stretch.

Losing the game sucks, but all things considered I’m glad they did. Chiefs are an easier team to beat than Buffalo and as much as I feel bad for...

Agreed. The local fanbase by and large is as soft as this team. Pitiful that enough season ticket holders allowed that to happen. Obviously...

One and done in the playoffs and it’s a **** season.

Describing the minutia that lead to the blowout doesn't make it any less of a blowout.

Chubb torn ACL. That should just about do it.

Bills will destroy Miami next week. I’d love to be wrong but I really don’t see them winning. A few of us tried to tell you how foolish it was...

Seriously. I'm all about supporting our service men and women, but those things were god ugly. They sell those, but the aqua throwback hoodie...

Exactly! I spent hours looking for the grey sideline hoodies. The throwback seems like a no brainer. I’ve seen other sideline styles sold, not...

That planned choreographed celebration was so ****ing stupid. Glad it didn’t happen.

What you’re saying makes perfect sense but my NFL bets are mostly emotional hedge bets against Miami. They are bets I hope to lose but if I win...

I’ve gotta eat some crow too since I was worried about this one, and feared the beginning of another December Dive. I even made a moneyline bet...

If we see a choreographed celebration in the Jets game, win or lose, I think it will be a very damning statement about this team and how seriously...

Yeah, I'm sure he wasn't prepared with losing remarks after the way the game unfolded. Still, not a good look. I'd rather he have ripped into...

This show is great after a win, and torture after a loss. I agree with Berezo, nothing really too much gained into why they lost. I'll be very...

How did a thread about a press conference devolve into a religious discussion? Doesn't this forum have rules about that? Religion & politics...

As much as I don't want to see it, I'll have to watch. I'm really interested to hear how Mike McDaniel responds to this loss. I was talking to...

I didn't make a bet at the beginning, but when I saw the way the game was trending after the first quarter and the live line had only moved to...

Vegas never accounts for the December Dive, so it's time to start betting against Miami and profiting. Miami is still somehow 8.5 point favorites...

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...

This is going to be unwatchable. Hopefully this team starts worrying more about finishing games than choreographing cringeworthy celebrations.

The December Dive is alive and well in Miami.

I was at a bar on holiday in New Orleans for this game, and I did an Irish Car bomb every time Miami scored. Don't remember too much of the rest...

It's the eyes. One is wider than the other.

Cringe.

I think both things are true. Saying he's peaked is not meant to be an insult. He's one of, if not the best QBs in the league. A lot of great...

I don't know, I'm not so sure it's so crazy to take the player having an MVP caliber season and who seems to be getting better every year over a...

The only thing better than being a Dolphins fan right now is being a Dolphins fan and having Tyreek Hill on your fantasy team.

/End Thread!

Past results do not guarantee future performance. But you could be right! Hell, I hope you are and it's Miami that knocks them out of the playoffs.

Looked for and found this after JJ found the first one up above. Not sure how long this will be up, enjoy it while you can! [MEDIA] Edited to...

I'm with StaleTacos on this. Eyes are too far apart and she has a man nose. That said, on the binary scale of 0 and 1, she's a 1; i.e. would smash.

I remember the days when Miami fans used to have to cherry pick nonsense stats to make Miami QBs look good, but now Miami has a QB that is leading...

For all of you who are optimistic, you have every right. You're making good arguments and I hope you all end up being right! I'm not...

He's definitely becoming a liability. It's going to cost them a game eventually and then they'll have no choice.

I admit I thought it was a mistake when Miami fired Flores, I thought he was a decent coach and one of the few bright spots from those 2 years....

True. But I love that Tua and the coaches were proactive about doing everything they could in their power to mitigate the risks associated with...

What's not to like about a QB who is getting better every single season? Miami has their franchise QB, and I haven't been able to say that...

The reason these Tua discussions are endless is that everyone assumes everything continues in perpetuity and that athletes are only as good or as...

You're right, but on the hopeful side - RB is the most fungible position in the NFL right now, and the easiest spot in my humble opinion for an...

Good Lord, I've seen better spammed crappy low ball trade offers in a $10 buy in work fantasy football league.

The most notable part of the fall is when he rolls over his back shoulder instead of his head. It's subtle, but that's how they teach forward and...

This is an easy one to play Devil's advocate with, and I could go either way. On one hand, a player with Tua's injury history probably shouldn't...

Personally - I agree with you 100%. Someone strikes me, I'm hitting back. I wouldn't call the police, but if they showed up, I'd hit 'em with...

It is, but only if the output from other Vikings RBs was minimal which I didn't watch enough of their games to know if that was the case or not.

To me, men who run around striking people in the back of the head and thinking they can do it without consequence are the real pussified men, not...

Striking someone in the head who doesn't want to be hit in the head is always going to be considered assault, slap or fist. All depends on how...

This fan won't melt down. I'd much rather they spend the money on the offensive line.

Just curious, what makes you say "Zappe is real"? I know he had 1, maybe 2 ok games right? Or was it more than that. Admittedly, I didn't pay...

That's also a good point. Now that you mention it, I remember wondering why Miami couldn't move the ball with how many starters were missing on...

Great point. It's a point I tried to make a few pages back but it quickly was buried in the back and forth.

Same living here in Western NY. I'll get the 2 Bills games and whatever prime time games they end up having. The rest I can watch at my local...

Hard pass.

Fair critiques for sure. It's reminiscent of all the times over the years we've talked about Tom Brady and how if you can just hit him early and...

Well played sir. First thing that has made me laugh in this thread in a long time.

Careful - the Never Tua guys are anti-Judo now too since he's doing that to improve himself in the offseason.

You make it sound like we're talking about a struggling mom and pop shop here the way you're talking, and not one of the worst examples of a Monopoly.

In short - because this isn't Madden. More detail: It would be ludicrous to give up a player like Tua, and draft capital and a LOT more money to...

Only speaking for myself here but the money comparison on watching at a bar vs. watching at home and shelling out money for Sunday Ticket is not a...

Same. Until they offer reasonable a la carte pricing per team, I'll either keep using greasy links; watch it at the bar, or just not watch it at all.

You're doing terrific. /sarcasm

Win win. 2 talented backs that know the system on the cheap. Glad they aren't overpaying for a big name at this position.

This board used to do a really good job of keeping politics out of the sports discussions. Are the mods all still on winter break?

"I'll take the ***** Mightier. Gussy it up however ya want, Trebek, what matters is, does it work, will it really mighty my ***** man?"

I really hope they don't overpay to get a guy like Henry. He's had too many hard miles over the last few seasons. I'm betting he has a season or...

This is the way. Gone are the days where top tier RBs are huge difference makers in today's NFL. Fungible position.

Brady to Miami rumors aren't dead yet: https://www.yahoo.com/sports/tom-brady-might-not-done-001011001.html

Great information. While it wasn't necessarily a rule change, I think the biggest factor in recent explosion in passing is how the league started...

Whether it's bad or not so bad, this had to be the right hire for a team where offensive line performance has been a problem for so long. This...

He better not be. You can't have a Glass Joe QB backing up someone with durability and concussion issues. If Miami bangs their head on that wall...

I like that move. Denver defense gets a coach they probably don't want (I read somewhere there are at least a few players on the team from when...

Why do my nightmares about this team always come to pass? I'll keep my big mouth shut during next season's prediction thread. Or maybe I'll just...

Those things were awful! Wasn't there a Bills player that used to rock one of those things? Running around the field looking like he was in the...

You're probably right - but the concussion situation with Tua and how this season ended is not going to make for a typical last year of a rookie deal.

I was afraid of this option when I originally posted it - but now I almost welcome it; but just the Brady part not Sean Payton. Especially if...

Yeah, can't have Glass Joe as a backup QB. He's been a huge disappointment in terms of ability to stay on the field. If Tua can play again next...

Marino might as well suit up, they would have a better shot.

Nobody should be reading anything into Tua not being on the sidelines. I don't know what the rule is, but there are definitely rules and protocol...

I'm not sure I agree that it strengthens an argument that he's fragile, but it would strengthen the argument that if he isn't healthy enough after...

I get emotions were running high for fans of every team when this happened, but I don't get the outrage. It was a terrible situation, but it was...

Tua should take up BJJ in the off season and his instructor should drill him on nothing but break falls.

I hope your dream comes true, but I suspect this game will get ugly early and Buffalo wins by at least 2 TDs. I just can't imagine Miami winning...

Jury is still out (pun intended) but I think Deshaun Watson contract will have a chance to make a run at it.

If this season teaches us anything, hopefully it teaches both Tua fans and haters that assuming the current state of things will continue on in...

The December dive is alive and well in Miami.

Not only this, but with some of the games Tua has had - He's a big part of the reason the defenses he has faced are not statistically top 10 defenses!

I'll take the Jets for no other reason than every loss keeps Belicheat from closing the gap on Shula's record. He'll probably get it eventually...

Thank you for sharing these stories! A great reminder of what service men and women give so that we can live a life of peace.

I wanted to hate it because I'm sick of the over-produced garbage the NFL spits out that we're supposed to think is hilarious, witty and cutting...

Most fans will agree with that during the off season. Once the regular season starts, and individual games with individual plays and results...

Let's hope so. And let's hope they go all in on a new QB if Tua can't perform with this supporting cast. You're right, that's the silver lining...

Never said he wasn't. But he didn't make Chad Henne a significantly better QB or the Dolphins a significantly better team. Because great WRs...

Classic Dolphins. Fix everything but the most important position in the game and hope for different results...

This would be the Brandon Marshall mistake all over again. Tyreek Hill is an electrifying player for sure, but he won't significantly improve the...

Good catch! I'm so used to 7-9 after these decades of mediocrity. I'll edit it, just not sure whether to add the extra game to the win or loss...

8-9, which will be a reflection of Tua's mediocre at best QB play. (I hope I'm wrong.)

Can confirm that Cowboys fans are happy about this trade. My brother-in-law described him as a big-play / drive killer (penalties).

I'm not having fun with anything except laughing at this clown show of a franchise that hasn't figured out the QB position in over 2 decades.

DeShaun Watson will land somewhere and continue to be a star in this league. And he'll just be part of the ever-growing list of QBs the Dolphins...

The only thing fun about this team anymore is hating the idiots responsible for running it so poorly.

If it's anyone but Harbaugh, Ross is a bumbling idiot.

If they aren't certain they can land Harbaugh this is terrible. Even if they are certain, it's questionable.

There was a very significant population on this board who LOVED John Beck! If you search hard enough you can find all the evidence you need....

I don't want to get fully sucked into another Miami Dolphins QB debate. I'm still worn out over trying to convince homers that John Beck and Chad...

And what would happen with those picks if they don't vanish for an elite QB talent? More first round busts likely. The definition of insanity is...

Injury prone or not, Tua isn't the guy. That much is clear. Will Miami realize it now and keep trying to address the most important position in...

I hope you're right! I'd love to see Belicheat come up just short of Shula's legacy on both records (undefeated failure back in 2007) and the...

It was a long, strange trip with Ricky, but the way he came back and those last few fun seasons and the memories of him paired up with Ronnie...

Happy for him! Lived in the DMV for over 16 years and always pulled for the Redskins except when they were playing Miami. Hopefully he'll get to...

My thought exactly. These are the best? Remember when people used to make highlight reels that made John Beck look like a capable QB?

That's fair, but I was referencing today's NFL which I define post 2005. That's when the rule enforcement governing how DBs can interact with WRs...

I think Miami has to be concerned about Tua's first season and how it played out. He started out with promise and then as defense got a chance to...

You do what the Seahawks did before they found Russell Wilson: you keep spending resources on the position until you find the guy. So yes, draft...

This game could be a blessing in disguise if it shows the front office they don’t have a starting NFL QB.

Checkdown Tua. This kid stinks again today.

New England missed the playoffs in 2008 at 11-5 courtesy the Miami Dolphins.

Fitzpatrick is just one of the most likable athletes to ever play this game. What a career defining moment in an already impressive career. I...

If Bozo the clown had anything to do with this decision other than being the guy signing the checks, then I absolutely hate the move too.

A little bummed by this news. Excited for Tua to get his chance for sure, but I really like Fitzpatrick as a player, and I don't think he should...

What a punch in the gut. I was out fishing this weekend and randomly started thinking about Coach Shula, thinking about how he’s still the...

Right, but if you pass on the Ferrari you have plenty of other elite options that will perform at a high level to choose from. Your analogy would...

Your analogy isn't quite perfect due to the rarity of elite QB prospects and the disparity between elite talents and non-elite at the position....

So now that you've figured all of this out, what beach are you going to live on with all the money you can take from Vegas?

No doubt whatsoever in my mind. He did what he did back in the age when DBs could molest WRs. Nowadays they draw a flag for looking at a WR...

I never thought there could be anything that would get me to stop cheering for the Miami Dolphins, but Tom Brady in a Dolphins uniform might do...

I hope to be wrong but as long as Ernie Adams is there with the cheat machine they’ll never be done. New England being out of the playoffs makes...

I think there’s no shot of it whatsoever but if Brady somehow ended up on the Dolphins next year I’d still wish for him to suck.

The video is unbelievable... And then to hear all the talking heads go on about it. “Bill Belichick is too smart to have done this. He’s too...

Until they win the superbowl again this year. After they receive no punishment for getting caught stealing signals again...

I’ve been saying the Pats are still stealing signals for years and it’s obvious watching them play when they have been successful in that endeavor...

Good points. I'm really not sure how much blame Grier does or doesn't deserve for past drafts, but the fact remains he's a holdover from the...

And the youth of today are very influenced by "entertainers". Good for Stills for speaking his mind. I'll stop there at the risk of getting...

Zero analysis done on the most important position he's comparing from 2016 to 2019 which is, of course; the QB position. Say whatever you want...

Hyde has it right. “Keep trying at QB until you have one.” Who knows how Rosen will play out but glad to see they are trying. If he doesn’t...

He seems to be a fan favorite on just about every team he’s spent time with. I heard a Bills fan say the other day that he’s never loved a player...

No matter what you think of Kaepernick, there is no question NFL owners are engaged in concerted action in restraint of trade against him....

Love him or hate him, he's the best QB this team had since Marino, save for maybe Chad Pennington. I'm no Tannehill apologist, but for those of...

Yes. I must have been editing my post during your reply.

But didn't Curtis Martin start his career with the Jets? I could be wrong and too lazy to look it up. Edit - I got ambitious. Completely forgot...

The Jets: Where good running backs go to die.

Oh man. This one is tough for me. With my interest in the NFL waning more and more every year, Cameron Wake was the last individual Miami...

The ratings will be sustainable for a long long time. I don't think the NFL is dropping off the face of the earth anytime soon, but I do think it...

Unpopular Opinion: The NFL sucks and has become unwatchable.

Does nothing to explain why a mediocre at best player on another team getting cut has legs. And now I’m part of the problem!

And the Award for "How the Hell does this Thread Have Legs" goes to...

Who knows if Flores will succeed where so many others since Shula have failed, but one thing you have to like are his communication skills....

Knowing what we know about New England, was this defensive mastery? Or did they know every single Rams offensive signal? Calling defense isn't...

The Patriot way is cheating. Is Miami looking to find their own Ernie Adams? Knowing their luck, they'll get pinched for it while the Patriots...

Yes, they've tried just about every method since Marino retired to get a new franchise QB. But not rapid fire like the Seahawks did until they got...

Not like the Seahawks did. My memory is a little hazy on it, and I invite anyone to correct me if / where I'm wrong, but I seem to remember them...

I'd like Miami to take the approach the Seahawks took to finding a QB. They tried just about everything until they found Wilson. Trades, free...

This weeks games prove just how unwatchable the NFL has become. Skipping the Superbowl. We all know how that story ends. "Tommy Terrific" gets...

I can't come up with a good example. If a game isn't enjoyable and memorable, I don't play it long. Along with what Dupree said, there might be...

#1 is a big one. Too much faulty causation with any coaching hire discussion. “No head coach has ever won a Super Bowl with 2 different teams!”...

Get your mind out of the gutter! Gis are what you wear when you roll around with other sweaty men!

I think people get down on Caldwell because of the googly eyes. He looks a little touched but looks Can be deceiving!

Ooof that Fitzpatrick jersey looks like a badly butchered home economics project. What a hot pile of garbage. Personally I think both fake and...

I sure hope you’re right and I’m wrong. New England’s downfall is probably the only thing that could get me back interested in the NFL. I won’t...

I’d argue with a record of 11-5 and Cassel having a fine year, that had more to do with what Chad Pennington and Miami did that season than Brady...

I wouldn't be so certain of a Patriots decline even with Brady and Belichick gone. As long as Ernie Adams is there with his patented signal...

I'm sure he's just regurgitating the crazy his wife fed him before the show. Fun watching them burn their last bridge in the NFL though. Smell...

I'd say the only thing this team might be ready for is another first round exit from the playoffs. I think that's best case scenario. I'd love...

The cheat doesn't work so great in away or neutral locations. If Miami had tried that play in New England, Ernie Adams would have seen it coming...

I thought the same thing. It just goes to show no matter how good a team is there are always unhappy fans. You could read that thread and easily...

For your reading pleasure - some gems taken from a Pats fan forum: Funny and sad at the same time. Talk about a spoiled rotten...

With the rare exception of 2008, this team has been boring to watch since Marino left. You could also make an argument that it's been boring...

A lot of good advice in this thread. I too, have made the transition from a fan who let the Miami Dolphin on goings impact my state of mind. I'm...

We could always take the Rocky Balboa (2006) approach to finding out how Marino would do in today's era. Build the best damn offensive line...

Those who truly know the game and understand the way it has changed since Marino retired, especially after 2005, understand that if Marino played...

I'd argue that BB and Tom Brady could retire, and as long as Ernie Adams stays on board, a coordinator will take over and they won't skip a beat....

It's simply impossible to beat the cheat on their home turf. I've made this analogy before and I'll make it again. Beating a team when they have...

The simple fact of the matter is it's damn near statistically impossible for a team to maintain the level of dominance the Patriots have in their...

Adam Gase on Pats: "They're going to do the same thing they always do, they're going to start cheating and then look unbeatable." ^fixed it.

Stupid is a harsh word for anyone, I think to my original point Vontae is a player who, not unlike a lot of players in the NFL who are given a job...

So then he was stupid for starting the game?

We are always so shocked when players do things like this, and it is certainly surprising. What we need to keep in mind is that so many of these...

I picked the middle option, but it wouldn't surprise me if he either did 1 above or 1 below. I don't see the 2 extremes as likely.

It's pretty awful when you fire Jeff Ireland and still can't get any better at GM after multiple attempts. The travesty of this ****uation is I...

This. He hasn't played poorly in Miami but his production at DT does not do enough towards wins and losses to make him worth the money he is...

I mostly took this last season off from watching NFL football. This decision had very little to do with the Dolphins or protests or anything like...

I'd love to bring in VD and undo one of Ireland's **** ups.

What's gotten this team into perpetual mediocrity is bad drafting and failing to retain the few draft wins. Jarvis Landry is one of few good...

Seems 100% accurate to me.

Belicheat isn't going anywhere he won't have Ernie Adams and his stolen signals to make him look like a genius.

I’ve been playing with the controller it comes with and have had no trouble. I’m sure the pro controller is better but I find the joycons...

Revisiting - In a move that probably would have deeply disappointed Desides, I ended up selling the Switch that I bought back in April along with...

Except he knows where the open man is going to be before the play even happens most of the time because they know what defense is coming. Signal...

Don't buy it. Made up or exaggerated story whipped up by media to make it seem awe inspiring when they win another superbowl. The NFL is sick of...

I believe both Ryan Tannehill and Adam Gase deserve next year to prove what they can do together in ideal circumstances. A lot of you are too...

I said something similar last year and I was wrong, so I hope when I say it again this year I'll be wrong again. There is no way the Dolphins are...

Fixed it for you. :chuckle:

My hatred for the NFL grows ever stronger...

If I ever see another bubble screen to Landry for zero or negative yards again I think I will have to quit watching football.

There is no good reason to sign Kaepernick in terms of the 2017 season. The only reason that would make sense is if Gase felt he was a better QB...

Wow. Thoughts on seeing this: 1. I've met highly functional marijuana smokers, functional alcoholics, etc. but functional regular coke user?...

Then why would anyone waste their time filling this out? The majority of your questions are way too soon to call, especially Gase. What will you...

I remember similar sentiments about Gase last year when the team started 1-4. Assuming an NFL team's current trajectory will continue...

Where are all those fans who thought Jets were going to be an easy 2 wins this season? Come on, don't be shy!

This game is unwatchable.

Way to make good use of nice field position! / sarcasm

what an absolute **** show.

I think all those expecting this game to be a walk in the park are in for a rude awakening and not well versed in Dolphins vs. Jets history.

In hindsight it was a bad timeout, but I'm not sure how much you could blame Gase or anyone else on the sideline for not realizing the confusion...

With the way the secondary has played at times this game, I'd say Chargers still have the advantage...

Defensive gameplan: Nobody bother covering Allen. Ever.

WTF Tunsil...

Come again?

That explains it! Still...**** them.

Chargers acting like that's a game ending TD. Ridiculous... Hope Miami can make them pay for that.

Those stupid yellow gloves of the chargers. Looks like penalty flags on every play.

Good to see useless lateral passes to Landry still prominent in the playbook...

Except for the cutesie trick plays, offense looks good!
