Separate names with a comma.
Grier would draft a player for that alone.
Quinn Ewers looked like he was part of a hostage video... but I get that you'd rather be undrafted and select from team offers than get drafted so...
I never expected him to stay healthy all season, but was hoping to get 10-12 good games out of him. LT is now a big question mark along with a...
Miami could run some QB sneaks and bomb some deep passes if Zach has to start. It would at least be interesting to watch, with a faint hope that...
Yeah, both NY teams are just bad from top to bottom. It just sucks that Miami is not far behind in dysfunction. I'm trying to convince myself...
In stark contrast to Miami, right? Without real change, 2025 is going to be more of the same.
The NFL wants a happy ending game for Rogers. With no playoffs possible, might as well get a better draft pick.
Dolphins are checking out, at least the offense, but the defense is not far behind now.
That seems to be the gameplan today.
Whelp, no playoffs for Miami, but they did it to themselves. Just hoping for real changes in the front office.
Great start, but too bad Huntley can't throw today.
1-3 this September. If they get credit for winning in December, then they get blame for losing in September and sending the season into a spiral.
This was against a very bad Browns team. Granted, they couldn't win earlier this season with a backup QB against the bad teams, so things are...
You had ONE JOB Bailey!
I think he knows how bad his OL is and will do anything... except run it up the middle on short yardage. If he has not been begging Grier for...
Well, I didn't have 'TD' on my bingo card. Huntley is much improved compared to earlier this season. It shows he has put in some work... and is...
One more FG from locking this game up! :woot: BTW, the Pats have the #1 pick at the moment? I could see them getting a haul for trading down....
Looking like a "first team to 9 points wins it" kind of game.
Sanders looks ready to play, just making that kick... dramatic.
Losing, when the path to the playoffs is opening up, would be a Dolphin thing. Not that getting there and getting destroyed in Buffalo would be...
A win that turns into a HUGE loss if it helps keep Grier around. Beating a wounded 9er team changes nothing about how bad the OL is for Miami or...
Run the film of that play when Holland asks for top money.
Desperation throw, when it wasn't quite desperation time. Game over, season over.
We need an OL. Imagine what Tua could do behind the Lions OL? When they make Goff look pretty good?
Seen this movie before....
Well... Tua is known for his accuracy, right? To be fair, Tua is the only reason this team has a chance to win.
Killer INT, when even an easy FG would have helped a lot.
Bad this year too, in so many ways: Penalties, missed FGs and extra points, fumbles, poor kickoff coverage, etc.
Texans doing a Dolphin thing with the offsides penalty. Good decision to go for it.
It looks serious, but hoping for the best.
According to Pro Football Focus metrics, here's where Miami has ranked in the past three seasons under Danny Crossman: 2024: 32nd 2023: 29th...
Special Teams has been a liability way too often this season. Still time for the offense to show up though....
Good thing Miami is allowed to throw to the TE once OT arrives!!! Always feels good to beat the Jets!
Miami with the first chance to turn it over then....
The offense had a chance to drive down and get points, not leave it to the defense to stop the Jets and get the ball back one more time. I'd give...
Amazing what the defense finally showing up in this game can do! Things still in the balance, but advantage Miami.
That would be the upside of a Miami collapse today.
Okay the defense finally shows! Up to the offense now.
Holding them to a FG was huge, if the Miami offense would like to make this a game. Which they don't want to with another three-and-out. Feels...
Making a washed Rogers look like a good QB is such a Miami thing.
Not a worry... if it can't get you fired.
The OL is still a major issue versus the good teams. Miami is fundamentally a broken team due to that.
The defense must stop the Pack, if they drive the length of the field again then the game is effectively over.
Same old issues. Great conversion though.
Offense must answer with a TD, give the defense a chance to rest.
I guess we all had 'injuries ' on our bingo card?
Calm down, get focused, don't let things... uh, snowball.
No such thing as too many pass rushers.
It ain't... Purdy? :couch:
Can't trust a backup QB to just hand off? Why are they even on the team?
Wac Jones looked decent for a little more than a season, let's wait and see once teams have more film on Maye.
That was such a fun watch.
Okay, no more worries about playing down to the competition today. I want to see THIS team against the Packers and then I'll have real hope for a...
Too many 'almost sacks' this quarter. Please don't turn this into a competitive game, Miami.
That should be game. Great to feel good about where the offense is at, with some Raider help!
Whelp, up to the offense again to seal this game. Please don't finally punt and give the Raiders any hope!
Smith at TE is becoming what I think most of us hoped he'd be when he got signed. An offense that doesn't just run through Hill and Waddle would...
Beating up the bad teams on the schedule is a good thing, at least Miami is capable of that with Tua starting.
Still feels like, too little, too late, to save the season, but nice to see a win.
Just force them to drive the field and burn clock.
Still wasting time outs, that simply has to change.
Rams won't win this kicking FGs, so feeling better. Just need another TD drive and then lean on the run game to burn clock.
Man, it's FUN watching the other team make stupid mistakes!
Rams just need to pressure up the middle and play the bubble screen in the second half. We need to lean on the run game to keep them honest. A...
Made it up... to the Rams. Getting sloppy all around.
Wild series of plays here. Wow.
Dominating, but keeping the Rams in the game with a FG. I shouldn't be nervous, but I've seen this movie before....
So far, so good, but please run it a bit.
So, not going to worry about the run game this week? I kinda liked that more balanced attack -even if the Rams secondary is iffy.
I'm no cap expert, just looked at overthecap dot com and it seems Miami has 38 players under contract with about $4 million in cap space for 2025....
No cap space to add to the defense or for a good backup QB. The window to win for this team is now closed for this season and beyond. If you...
This season is over now. Miami fought hard, but made too many mistakes in the end. I still want to see Grier gone now -at the very least.
Cast your mind all the way back to... last week. :no:
Need to burn some clock, not leave Buffalo any time. Also, maybe go for 2 and the win?
Nonsense! They present no danger to anyone! :escape2:
Bittersweet. If we'd had this offense from week one... but that's division games for you.
I'd take the points here. Tua takes a chance and gets it! With that run... he surpasses Chad Pennington! :chuckle:
Tua is the best QB Miami has had since... Chad Pennington? With the same issue though -staying on the field. The Dolphins are a better team with...
Last year... was the FLUKE season where Tua stays healthy all year. You can't build a team around a QB that has an occasional healthy season, but...
For the record, I don't hate Tua, but I feel this team is going nowhere with him as you can't win consistently with a part-time starting QB. So,...
Giving up the third and long is just a way of life with this Miami team. So frustrating!
At this point, I expect the worst... but hope for the best. Even if losing today is probably for the best IF it means Grier is gone soon.
Wow! Even Jackson couldn't stop that TD drive! Surprising amount of life being shown by the offense today.
Bills turned the ball over, counting on Tua to fumble the snap. :couch:
So, which teams are you confident Miami can beat? I thought the Cards were on that list? I agree that Miami will win enough games to miss out on...
Terrible pursuit and missed tackling. Game over without a miracle. Assuming a Buffalo loss... any reason to not call this season DOA?
Whelp, I think any false hope from winning this game is gone.
It's now the Cards game to lose, only needing a FG to win this. Offense failed when needed the most and the defense has been iffy in the second half.
Snapping it with 30 seconds on the playclock? When we need to bleed it down?
That was a first down, or within inches.
The offense is gonna need ONE more score, at least a FG after burning most of the clock. I'm fine with a quick TD though.
I think that was a catch.
The Cards were the right team to ease Tua back onto the NFL game. I wish I could believe he will stay healthy the rest of the season, but this...
I laughed... then cried. Truth hurts.
Tua can't stay healthy man and he can't beat Buffalo. Time to let the dream die and start anew....
Yeah, a Tua return does nothing to save this season, just getting Miami into a 12-16 range first round pick. Just let Boyle and Skyler finish out...
This should put the finish on the season, right? Even a wildcard spot is very iffy and the team would be better served looking at a GM and...
Every part of the team taking their turn to fail. Defense is next, with a late collapse?
This is the Colts game to lose now.
To be fair... was he EVER REALLY IN?
Self-inflicted wounds. The offense will need to answer and kill the Colts momentum.
He... has a bit of a cough though.
So many penalties....
Still sloppy, with too many penalties and plays taking too long to run.
Trading a helmet for the football? Cool.
The Colts are bad, but I'll take it!
A QB sneak? Wow!
Coin flip game if McDaniel stays with his offense -despite Tua not being the starter. IF he has adjusted for a different QB? Comfortable Miami win.
To be fair, with the poor offense we have at the moment, EVERY FG is critical. No room for misses now.
Terrible news, now they might stumble upon a decent coach. Probably not, but I'm saying there's a chance.
A win, not a quality win as the Pats are really bad, but with the Jets and Bills losing it makes it sweeter.
Not quite over yet, McDaniel has time to call a few bubble screens....
Miami found a running game? Now up to the defense.
No way Miami can get a yard when needed, so the FG makes sense.
Pats determined to help Miami out with penalties on this drive. Whelp, not enough help.
Well, this will free up a lot of time for other things the rest of the year, right? No waiting on a late season collapse in 2024! :couch:
Yeah, I was thinking that 1-15 sticks with you, but... Miami could pull off a 1-16 season? Not the same drama as facing being the first team to...
This has all the signs of a collapse year, followed by another rebuild. Hopefully Grier is gone or it won't really matter. I wonder if Mike...
Game over? I think so.
Feels like the only points today.
Huge break, gotta get a TD here
Cue the clown music....
Not seeing the improved coaching decisions I was hoping for. It's early, but sees like no lessons have been learned.
This looks like it could be the absolute worst case scenario for Miami. Tua can just take the money and retire, the Dolphins can't insist he...
Miami, 27-20, the TEs have a game versus a depleted secondary plus a tired Buffalo team on a short week road game.
Ugly win... is a win. Plenty to clean up for week 2.
Nonsense, he'll get a four year extension, highest paid Kicker in the NFL, after this game is over.
Wow, Gase is calling plays for Jags now!! Crazy game. Nope, Gase back on the Miami sideline....
When did they let Gase come back to call plays on offense?
Not a lot of good things to talk about right now. Let's see how the second half goes. I'm not regretting my decision to lower my time spent on...
"By Grabthar's Hammer, what a savings!" I would have preferred to see Tua stay healthy for two years in a row before his big payday, but the...
Mia v Jax: Mia Mia v Buff: Mia Mia @ Sea: Sea Mia v Tenn: Mia Mia @ NE: Mia Mia @ Ind: Mia Mia v Arz: Mia Mia @ Buff: Mia Mia @ LAR: LAR Mia v LV:...
I'd be concerned if Miami had guaranteed him $8-10 million, but at a bargain rate of $3 million, it tells me he is humble enough to see what his...
It's a pick with the future in mind. A year of development, with maybe a chance to play some, will help develop Paul. He HAS to develop though...
I thought they said something about how he had back surgery a couple weeks ago, so he was on some heavy meds, especially after he got a big bear...
Pats having NOTHING around a rookie QB. I like it. Miami should have a number of good players to select from, given how many QBs have been...
Good deal for Miami. The Bills are taking a step back to try and reload for another playoff run. Need to take advantage of that this year.
So, you're against it. :chuckle:
It won't be the same without you, Keyfin. It'll be better. But that's NOT the same, right? :chuckle: Seriously though, I hope you're back...
I didn't say a QB had to win a Super Bowl to be great. I think Burrow is great, even with a SB loss, but injuries might limit his career and the...
Lamar is questionable until he at least gets his team to a Super Bowl, but he DID win a playoff game and got his team to the #1 seed in the AFC...
I think back to Jay Fiedler and the teams he played on. If Miami had managed to upgrade at QB instead of accepting that Fielder was 'good enough'...
If you could get a QB to plug in with most of the rebuild still around him? Not exactly starting over from scratch. The thing is, Tua is not...
Throw in Pete Carrol and they can work one week, take two weeks off. What a schedule! For the record, the only thing close to reality is that...
I think it exposed Tua and his limitations at QB. I think most defenses have figured out how to defend the McDaniel offensive system -even with...
So, Tua and McDaniel will get 2024 to make this work, but Tua is not the QB Miami can win with. McDaniel might learn some lessons, but it has to...
Pathetic. Unless the defense manages to score, this game is now over.
You can't blame the defense for these last two games -it's all about the lack of offense. The defense has been remarkable given all the injuries.
A FG would be tolerable, but a TD is pretty much game over.
Seeing all the reasons I now have doubts about Tua at QB, and need to see McDaniel get a LOT better with his play calls. Ignored the run game to...
Is Waddle actually playing in this game? Is Miami allowed to pass to him? Just wondering....
Score here and then again after the half? Dream scenario.
Why not run twice? You get half the yardage, you make fourth down that much easier. Gotta get pass happy instead on a night when nothing is easy...
Defense holding KC to a FG is a win, just one play away from taking the lead now.
Hill is on a mission, but stick with the run game and then shots to Tyreek. At least it's a game now.
Apple down... is that... really a bad thing?
Too many mistakes so far. Tua with the bad pass, then the penalty, followed by an INT.
It's all on the run game and defense for Miami tonight, Tua is going to be a game manager in this game-AT BEST.
Progress; more the Chefs bad WRs showing up, but a stop is a stop. Need to get the offense moving now.
Defense needs to create a spark, Miami looks totally uninterested in playing this game though, in all phases.
No pass rush, no tackling. Ugly start. Does the offense have anything tonight?
As long as the Bills have to play on a short week IF they beat the Steelers? I'm okay with hit.
Makes me worried Tua doesn't understand what really cold weather is like. It's NOT about a mindset when you are in the negatives, it's about...
The defense played more than good enough to win this game. It was a bit of special teams, and a LOT of bad offense in the second half. This loss...
Yeah, I'll check some updates from the KC game next week, but I'm not wasting my time watching the game. Tua is what he is, and that won't win...
Buffalo will go for it and convert with a QB sneak, easy as that. We are losing to plays that Miami simply cannot replicate due to our smaller...
This is the kind of game where you see what we really have in Tua. Good, but not great, and only good when things are good around him. You don't...
That kind of thinking boggles my mind. Better to be on the road in freezing weather with crowd noise than at home? I just.... what?
The offense has disappeared in the second half. Tua has to step up and make some plays, carry the offense. Tua is the complete opposite of what...
Bills do nothing and Miami gifts them a TD. Meltdown series by both the offense and special teams.
Tua should be handling iffy completions by getting guys into hurry up mode.
Why does the offense not have a 'fire' call to hurry to the line? They should have hustled up to avoid the challenge.
Okay, need some offense now, give the defense time to rest. Ideally a long drive and at least a FG.
This. So much this.
I just hope we keep running in the second half, wear them down and more chances for Achane to break another TD run! McDaniel might be tempted to...
It worked out, but yeah, I was having flashbacks too! Buffalo has played a really poor half of football, but we need them to keep making mistakes...
Don't give up the TD, keep it all in front, the FG is not a concern now.
Ideally, you run for the first, run again, then throw that TD pass Hill, but I'll take it!
Big play here.
'Like' is strong word; Buffalo returning to the mean of NFL injuries, in a timely manner for the benefit of Miami. :couch:
Caught a huge break. Literally. Okay, plenty of time for Miami to respond and get some points before the half. At least burn up a lot of clock...
First team to 7 wins, huh? Achane is playing at a different speed out there, he also has way less wear-and-tear than most rookies given his time...
Allen is doing everything he can out there to keep Miami in this game!! Can he overcome the Tua Effect though???
Not bad, but inconsistent. Miami can't make up for bad plays on offense though, they need to be on schedule.
Looks like every run has to be outside or it gets stopped short. At least the defense got some time to rest, and maybe Allen is going to have a...
Good INT, but what an idiot for stumbling out to the 3 yd line. That's how you waste the chance the INT gave you.
Same gameplan as recent games -force it to Hill, no matter the coverage. At least it was kinda an arm punt, but it does shift momentum to the Bills.
There are special QBs who can step up when the team needs it, does that apply to Tua? Or is he good when most things around him are working well?...
I hope you are right, but it's only a great season if Miami wins the division and a playoff game or two.
Naw, two home games versus three road games? We need to win tonight and stay at home.
Never thought I'd see Chicxulub referenced in a sports thread, but here we are. Miami should still be favored to win at home against the Bills...
An EPIC COLLAPSE to end the season is now on the table. Unless things turn around on the next drive, you have to start pulling starters and...
Well, probably not the two teams that will meet again in the playoffs (if it comes to that) with all these injuries. Go Phins!!
No defense can plan on getting 3+ turnovers during a game. Purdy made a lot of bad decisions, and bounces went the Ravens way, but Tua is already...
Can you imagine the Raiders beating the Chefs today? No need, it just happened. In a perfect world, Miami could wrap up the division and #1 seed...
Unless the Chefs lose another game, Miami needs to beat Buffalo, right? Even the Browns could go 12-5 and have tiebreakers on Miami? I'm not...
Playoffs!!!! Not pretty, but a W is a W!
Keep running, just keep running.
Gotta eat all the clock, they leave the Cowboys more than a minute and we lose this game. Step up Tua, we need to see some elite play.
Refs stepping in....
It's strange to me, you should force the Cowboys to stop the run, not stop it yourself and let them do what they do best. Just terrible play...
Self-inflicted wounds. Crumbling at the worst possible time.
A lot of throws are just a bit off target today. He needs to focus and get another TD drive to close out this game.
How do I tell you I don't trust my OL WITHOUT just saying it? Play calls like that.
Stupid play calling all game. Sanders being put in MVP consideration though.
Punting WITH Anger. Still, good starting position.
Okay, the defense can set the tone in the second half by forcing a Dallas punt from inside the five yd line. Or, a safety would be fine.
Only long FG attempts today, eh? Why not just go for it?
Wilkins with the HUGE mistake. Well, actually just gave the refs a chanced to bail out Dallas.
From the 3yd line, where you can actually run it? Sure. From the 5yd line? Not a fan of giving up points. Only works if the defense now forces...
Fangio giving Dallas an early gift with his defensive calls. Long game, but we need to make some changes.
I had my doubts, but Sanders has turned it around this season.
Jags offense is flailing around; they have left so many points on the field. Ravens do not look like world beaters though, so it really is up to...
I'd love to see that scenario come to pass. Miami could use that time to get a lot of players much closer to healthy. Odds are that week 18 will...
Dallas looks like they are checked out big time. I hope they save some of that for their game in Miami. They are living up to their rep of being...
Great to see a bounce-back game from Miami, after that horrible loss to the Titans. Still, a TOUGH road ahead and everything is still on the line...
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...
I wasn't thrilled to see the Bills win today, but the Chefs and Jags are no longer a serious threat for the first or second playoff seeds. Miami...
The Bills can't start playing desperation/playoff football now and keep it up for the next five weeks. It takes a big toll on the brain and body....
I still vividly remember watching that game live on TV and laughing as the Bills lost in spectacular fashion. RIP Wycheck, you were a good...
Given that Jackson is, in effect, a LT for our lefty QB? Pretty cheap contract. Turning what looked like a first round bust into a...
Love to see this run game working.
Stay aggressive? I would like to see if Miami can just line up and run it, but with the OL a patchwork, just stay with what has been working.
Feeling okay now? :chuckle:
Get out to a double digit lead and then run the clock. A boring win with no injuries would be just fine. 27-17 Miami win.
Miami needs to get to 11 wins, but yeah, the odds are favorable.
Great game by the Eagles! Sad Josh and angry Diggs is always fun to see.
Yeah... but... Denver WAS NOT a winning team when they lost to Miami.. so, it doesn't count, right? :couch:
Two weeks is an ETERNITY in an NFL season. Some teams in contention will be falling out of the playoff hunt in two weeks, others will be surging....
A Bills loss against the Eagles and Cowboys, with a win against the Chefs, would be very helpful for Miami. Even getting the #2 seed would be a...
Game has gotten ugly with the turnovers and injuries. There will be some extra time to rest and heal, but this has been a costly victory.
Yeah, looked like his right leg calf popped. Big hit to the defense if true.
They have a better #2 QB in Trevor Siemian, I hope we don't see him in the second half.
Feeling way better than I did a couple minutes ago. Tua needs to get his head straight though, we only lose if he tosses another INT or two to...
Okay, we are 3 more points from a win! :chuckle: Totally cool with a methodical, safe offense the rest of the way. The Jets defense may give up...
The NFL must have changed the rules to NOT ALLOW Miami to run on short yardage. Trying to be too clever with some of these play calls. If you...
Yeah, it was there, but Tua couldn't make up his mind fast enough. Just a really bad series in the Red Zone.
Really stupid not to take the points.
Don't turn the ball over and it should be a comfortable win for Miami. Give the Jests any life with a pick-six or fumble in scoring range and...
Ugly win, but hopefully the offense is ready to play by next week.
Wind knocked out of Ramsey?
Offense should have closed out this game, asking a lot of the defense to save them once again.
Snapped it WAY too early. Not eating enough clock.
Poor offense, more poor special teams.
Sanders with the shocker!!! I guess he wanted to keep his job!
Miami offense is still on their by-week today. I was afraid they'd need a half to get back into the groove, but it's a bit worse than that. Need...
Sanders gets fewer chances, but makes the least of them when he does. A 50+ yd kick is almost a guaranteed miss.
A stress free win and no injuries would be really nice. I hope they ease Achane back into playing, he doesn't need more than 10-12 carries, even...
Lying down on a pile of guaranteed cash will ease his pain. Talk about a bullet dodged.
Nonsense, Zach Wilson just needs more time to develop. A 5 year contract extension is the best path forward for the Jets*! *And by 'Jets' I...
It brought a little joy back to see the Bills lose tonight. Miami keeps the division crown for a bit longer. Or does Buffalo claim the lead...
Time to root harder for the Bengals tonight, the division is still in play, but no way Miami wins a playoff game on the road against the better...
Tua lost us the game with that last drive. KC would have won with a FG if Miami scored with a minute left though, no doubt. I still wanted to...
Right???
Clearly, I needed to go away for Miami to come alive!
Yeah, game over. I'm done watching for today, I know how this will go now. I may just check out till late in the season too, Miami will win...
We'll know soon enough. I want to believe, but we've seen this movie too many times before.
The window to win is NOW. Too many players needing big contracts next year and it only gets worse in 2025. It was a FAILED rebuild yet again. I...
The fraud talk is legit. This team will have a winning record, but fold against the better teams and get blown out in the playoffs.
Last five minutes of the fourth quarter, against second stringers, Miami starters get a TD to go with an earlier FG.
Okay, stupid playcall and this game is now over. Miami is going to lose 31-10 today.
Step up offense, we need some points before and after the half. Even if you kick a couple FGs you have got to give the defense some time to rest...
Pathetic showing by the offense today. Just terrible. Wasting a good defensive effort.
Looks like the offense didn't catch the flight to Germany. When the defense has stepped up and given them the ball back too. Same old Dolphin...
Intentional grounding -IF Miami did it. Okay? :chuckle:
That was intentional grounding, but whatever, Miami defense gets off the field.
Well, the defense got to rest a bit, but we really needed some points on that drive, you can't win without putting up points when the Chefs are...
Good response by the defense. Hoping Waddle can make it back into the game, or we need the run game to work today.
Really need this team to step up when on a big stage, that's the thing that has plagued Miami for decades now. It's early though, so hopefully...
Tyreek was open for a possible TD, but Tua takes the triple coverage pass to Waddle (which he made a great throw on, but it could have been a MUCH...
Gave up an even a worse effort TD. Time to win a shootout....
Not a catch, but the Chefs are looking motivated.
Hoping for a 27-24 win, well actually I'd like 43-10 win, but this is the first time we get to see a nearly full strength Dolphin team.
Bonus for getting Taylor Swift fans to watch the NFL. We can only hope she is NOT at the game in Germany.
Watching the Giants choke away a win against the Jests is all kinds of second hand embarrassment. It's still a good weekend, but could be even...
Okay, more drama than I wanted, but that last drive was the dagger.
Hypes the Chefs game in Germany, just like they scripted it!
A 'sorry' note from the NFL with that flag being picked up.
Easily could have been flagged for that hit. Not intentional, but tackling is tough in the modern NFL.
Long hurt, like we needed more injuries this game. Is it too much to ask for a W and no serious injuries?
Paying all that money and getting a poor viewing experience would make me furious. In other news, hopefully Miami can put this game away well...
Win today and it sets up an epic match with the Chefs in Germany. IF the NFL is scripted, it's the best way to hype up that game.
Why would you throw that short? Nothing to lose by going deep. Tua just wanted to get back the bench. I hate how Miami folds up when things...
Tua does tend to collapse at critical moments. He is great when things are on schedule.
The offense needs to score a TD here. It's now about fighting till the end, showing some heart.
Game over, the offense was the only chance Miami had to win this.
The game ending mistake, unless the defense one more turnover in them.
Time for stupid time outs? Really?
Poor tackling and no flags is a bad combination.
Losing Long and Holland might be the final straw for this defense.
The football gods had enough I guess. Wow!!
Agreed, chasing points when you don't need to is foolish.
Huge mistake by Hill. Might be the difference in the game. No flags allowed on Philly.
Good work by the defense. Okay, Tua, get some points.
Really needed points to open the half. Defense will have to step up again.
That's to prevent any hurtful trash talk, right?
Glad to have a reason to watch the second half. Need to forget about the run game until the pass game gets us a lead.
Berezo leaving was the boost Miami needed!!
A dominant DL against patchwork OL makes a poor secondary decent.
I want a rematch with all our OL starters, Ramsey and X, and Achane.
Everything going the Eagles way!
Miami offense may not get another possession this half.
Terrible flag. Refs let Eagles off the hook.
Legit flag. Just poor play calls so far. Hopefully Hurts continues his turnover ways.
You prophet you!
Whelp, good thing Buffalo lost today. The early part of this game is not promising.
Going to get ugly with any more OL injuries.
Stupid way to start...
Holding them to a FG is a win on defense. Strange call by Philly on third down.
Agreed. I do wonder how McDaniel will adjust to avoid another game like they had versus Buffalo. I'd hope lessons were learned and better game...
Another division loss for them too, so a 3-3 division record is in play for the Bills.
Cheering on the Pats is just strange, but they are one play away....
I think Buffalo is still having offensive issues more than the Pats turning into the 85 Bears defense. It would be sweet to see the Bills lose...
Torn, as I like seeing the Jets lose, but it does mean they are out of the race for a top 2 pick in the 2024 draft. Also, the 1972 team remains...
Whelp, hoping to see the Pats and Jets lose these late games. It will make for a nice day of football.
Carolina: 'Hey, check this play out McDaniel!'
Miami boy does Miami a solid?
Try not to give up more than a FG, then get another TD after the half.
:chuckle: I feel your pain though....
The NFL disagrees.
The dangers of playing a team with nothing to lose. They very nearly pulled off that punt fake.
Good news: Offense scores. Bad news: Defense back on the field.
That's what some of us are afraid of, that this team is just like those of the last 20 years.
Meltdown game so far.
Stupid plays, poor effort, doing everything they can to give this game to the Panthers.
Which team is 0-5 again?
The Pats... LOL, I think they might be in the running for a top 3 pick.
Well.... :jt0323: Injuries are part of the game, etc.
Turnovers are the only way Miami could lose this game. Just stupid and careless by Tua. Good thing the defense bailed out the offense.
Maybe; it will come down to an onside kick I think. This game against the Giants would be for first place if the Jags hold on.
Not THAT deep at the moment though. I agree that getting a decent backup Center would be nice. So odd how they want to ignore the OL and run...
Seems to be a LOT of red flags about attitude? Getting dumped by a second team might wake him up though, as this could be his last chance to...
Let me be clear: You move on from Tua UNLESS he makes a leap and stays healthy. You can't give him a second contract based on the HOPE that he'll...
Well, I'd let McDaniel find his own QB this time around. He has said all the right things, but it was clear his job was to try and salvage Tua....
No way you pay Tua a big contract. The window was now and next year, but you rebuild again with a new QB in 2025.
Buffalo paying a price for this win; their secondary should be vulnerable now, but Miami can't stop anything today so it won't matter for this...
Such a stupid playcall there. Just run the ball, or at least put it up for Waddle to try and make a play. Tua has played a poor game today....
The usual pattern of failure is on full display today. I was hoping this season was going to be different, but when things play out the same as...
Well, if your main complaint about him is that he is injury prone... then we need to see how the season plays out. There should be little doubt...
Yeah, my thought too.
Honestly, it reminds me of Marino's last game, running up the score when it's long over.
The NFL needs a mercy rule? Maybe?
Picking up right where Williams left off, sadly.
Holland took up boxing in the offseason, huh? :chuckle:
Really great to see a game like this from Miami. They need to have that killer instinct, not letting teams hang around to try and get back in the...
I expect a bit of an ugly win today, like 27-23. I'd love to be wrong and see a 34-13 kind of win. As fans we can look ahead to the Bills game...
Ugly win, but I'll take it.
Why would you try that FG kick? Why? Just go for it with a run play!!!
A timeout on defense to give them a breather would have been a good idea. Need the offense to close out this game now.
Cool, maybe scored a bit soon, but hard to complain.
I guess we CAN rely on the defense now? Huh, so that's what that feels like....
You... might not like the answer.
Tua needs to step up and lead another TD drive. The offense has been absent the whole second half.
Waddle killed that drive. We at least needed to move the ball out for a better punt. Totally wasted the gift from the defense.
Howard has other ideas -great INT!
It's always too much to ask that Miami just put a team away early, huh? Looks like this will be down to the wire -despite Miami having played a...
Time to burn some clock and at least get a FG.
Put up some points right after the half, and then run the ball to shorten the game. Good game so far.
Great run by Mostert. Need to keep the pressure on and not let the Pats back into this game.
Exactly what Bellicheat wanted, it just takes one or two mistakes for the Pats to find a way to win when our offense has few opportunities.
Good series by the defense, hopefully we have a plan for the goal line offense now.
Need to be able to run effectively on the goal line, or some quick passes outside from a tight formation. Still, not the worst start to a game...
Will weather play a factor? Hurricane Lee is supposed to be passing by over the weekend, right? Mostly missing the area, but I'd think strong...
Rodgers retires just before the first week of the 2024 NFL season; Wilson still not ready, Jets eat a ton of dead cap space. A fun scenario,...
Cautious optimism about the young players on the OL. I'm more than happy to be proven wrong about the state of the OL. Let's see how things...
Wow, when it mattered most, the defense got it done. Good thing the Chargers didn't have time to just run it, eh? :chuckle:
So many mistakes today by the Phins. We need a turnover by the defense to win this one.
Gotta burn more clock.
No way the Dolphin offense can burn up almost four minutes of clock while scoring, right? We'll get a TD with 90 seconds left for the Chargers to...
Really ugly run defense today.
That was exactly what Miami needed, getting the ball right back to the offense.
Tua just throwing it up now, instead of getting some yds for a FG if the pass isn't there.
Can't run for 2 yds still? Tua could have tucked and run for it, not forced that pass.
Last team with the ball wins kinda game.
Too many points left on the field so far; at least a FG on the fumble drive and four points on this drive. Need the defense to step up again.
THIS.
Chargers plan is to run the ball and control the clock. Miami could have gotten them out of that by scoring first and a quick stop on defense....
Wow, can't even get the snap right. Kills a really great drive.
I was really looking forward to seeing what the rookie could do. His catching ability out of the backfield could really help the offense. At...
It's been a lot of ugly football so far, but that's opening weekend in the NFL now as most teams are out of sync.* *This may also be the result...
We just need an OL that is average and the offense will be fine. That's the frustrating part, that Grier can't seem to manage even that. If...
Lions at Chiefs Panthers at Falcons Texans at Ravens Bengals at Browns Jaguars at Colts Buccaneers at Vikings Titans at Saints 49ers at Steelers...
A good special teams player has more value than Iggy did at CB.
Tua had BETTER NOT get hurt this season. Somehow....
Another injury, it really sucks to see guys hurt in the last preseason game.
Miami is the last team they'd want to trade him to. Imagine he pans out as a Dolphin? They traded a ransom in picks AND gave the guy they...
This. Although, I'd settled for just one quarter of the starters -if they get a couple drives and look competent.
Miami is a glass cannon; powerful offense, but a couple injuries away from a losing season.
The man is looking for a payday, but if he did get struck, I can't blame him. Really stupid of Hill to resort to violence -if he actually did....
Well, he is the second best OL member, right? And more dependable as far as staying healthy. I'd be okay if they offer some incentives, adding a...
Miami gets an extra day of rest compared to a Thursday game, so that helps a bit, and I wonder if the JESTS will be wearing their black alternate...
Well... you'll get Ryan Hayes, OT, and like it! https://www.nfl.com/prospects/ryan-hayes/32004841-5942-5163-913c-79c056f10685
Three years in the NFL is a career for many players, and hopefully Tyreek would be leaving a year too soon versus a year too late. The window is...
Superbowl!!! Okay, I guess he is getting paid for his assistant blocking, but I'd rather have a better OL that doesn't need a blocking TE to...
The NFL found a way to make Thursday games EVEN worse. It's all about the money though.
Miami is just trying to meet the mandated quota of (some variation allowed for spelling) players named; 'Jalen'.
It went from a close game, with a possible epic ending, to a run the clock out and kick the FG with that flag being thrown. Totally ruined the...
I didn't know how good we had it, watching Zach Thomas and the rest of that great defense back in the day, but glad to see this wrong being righted.
Is this post from 2022 or 2023? :couch:
So nice watching the Bills choke away this game. They can push cap around for 2023 but that contract for Allen is going to start hitting next...
