The Dolphins suck so much that this is the most active thread on the forum right now. Sums it up.

Sure glad we got Belichick's defense. Wait...

Flores' only realistic qualifications for NFL head coach: 1. He will take the job. 2. Well, Sean McVay came out of nowhere, too.

If Tannehill plays well the last three games, he's not going to be cut. They will probably draft a guy or bring in a veteran as insurance, which...

ESPN's QBR is a joke. They refuse to disclose the full formula for the stat and they factor in completely absurd things like how each...

I strongly disagree. Brady slipped in the draft because he looked like a slug at the combine, and the cheating certainly doesn't hurt... but...

On the subject of leadership, no one should listen to Mike Pouncey.

Having watched Jay Cutler play football this season, I don't think I could disagree with this any more strongly than I do.

OL was actually better this season, especially once Bushrod went out.

Why would we pay money to downgrade? For a quarterback who's on the brink of retirement, to boot?

The guys in the booth said that Miami has a tough decision to make with Jay Cutler. On what planet is it a tough decision to not sign Jay Cutler...

"You make a great point backed up by evidence, but unfortunately it's getting in the way of some quality onanism here, dude."

Save the snide remarks for someone who appreciates them. The reason his air yards are low is because he attempted such a high percentage of...

This is actually completely factually incorrect. NFL1000 broke down screen pass attempts for every NFL quarterback last season. Ryan Tannehill...

Bennett basically cut himself after Rodgers got hurt so that he could go back to the Patriots. Guy's a jagoff.

... what? Hershel Walker was traded for a ransom of picks, which the Cowboys used to build a championship team. Walker went on to continue being...

Never have I seen so much wailing and gnashing of teeth about a player who was producing poorly for a historically inept offense.

What did you think we were going to get for a RB with one year left on his contract, bum knees, and who pissed our head coach off so much that he...

With no exaggeration, Doughty is a better quarterback.

I disagree. Rex was the biggest problem in Buffalo and now that he's gone they might get better. It sucks.

You gotta love hot takes from guys who think Suh is just another DT.

Intense overreaction to one game against a team that quit on the season already. You couldn't at least wait to see what happens the next two...

The Jets have a bad secondary and also for some reason didn't respect Moore's ability to throw downfield. The result was predictable. Against...

I guess I just can't agree. I feel like he made a good decision -- Stills was open -- but couldn't get enough arm on the throw due to the guy...

While I'd agree that the second throw to Stills was, uhm, heart-stopping in its execution, the fact remains that Moore led the game winning drive...

Flacco's lingering issues are definitely related to his knee. Stop looking at the box score to figure this one out and just watch the Ravens play...

Please don't lump the rest of us in with the guy who dumps on Suh.

I watched Patriots/49ers. 49ers are not a very good football team -- just lacking talent -- and they do not match up well with Miami due to their...

:lol: Great response. That's damn right, we're trying to win the game.

It's OK to think that Russell Wilson has developed into a great quarterback while also acknowledging that he benefited greatly early on from being...

I'm tired of people telling me what I should think, that's what I'm tired of.

1. Quarterback had a bad game 2. The Bengals were able to drop 7 men in coverage and still meet up at the quarterback 3. AJ Green is a great...

Ryan Tannehill was bad tonight. I am not defending him, but I will say that the OL play was as bad as I've ever seen it during his 4.25 years as...

Dallas Thomas is starting tonight, it sounds like. I don't think any 'sharp' is going to find Miami an attractive bet with that knowledge.

Cincinnati 24 Miami 14 Rushing Yards: 39

Kenyan Drake Left Tackle for 1 yard Ryan Tannehill short right to Devante Parker for 3 yards Ryan Tannehill pass incomplete deep left to Devante...

We're gonna need a bigger bench.

I think you guys are getting a little too upset over a win. :(

I agree with you that defense is my biggest concern with this team going forward. We are complaining about our offensive performance in a game in...

Our offense was not great today vs a Browns team that was missing its best cornerback, that is true. However, our defense is what's going to sink...

I wasn't real hyped up about being 0-2, and I'm not real hyped up about being 1-2, but hey, I don't get being down about this right now. The...

I saw a lot of really bad things for Miami from the top down today, but here's what I know: we won the game. I'll take that. I'll take the W, no...

:confused1:

Gazing on the wrong navel.

I recommend a Sleep Number bed if you can budget for it. They're great.

I thought Tannehill was terrific in the second half, and certainly not some horrible albatross around the team's neck in the first half. Really...

Wait, what? That was the worst game of Mariota's career. He was dreadful.

I definitely saw a thread blaming the QB for underthrowing that ball on another site.

My 4: 1. Kenny Stills. 2. Kodaking. 3. Bad special teams. Blew a 27 yarder, struggled on returns, blocks in the back. 4. Kenny Stills.

No quarterback who has to suffer Dallas Thomas in his lap on every pass play should be graded too harshly, and that certainly includes Doughty.

1. Work on the run game. Run the ball and get some reps in. 2. Stop dropping the football when the QB puts it in your hands. 3. Basic tackling:...

I get the impression that you'd be upset if you actually got that miracle.

I have absolutely no idea what on Earth I am reading in this thread.

After three series, many players on the Dolphins look like they need to be playing better. Lots of guys. But there is only one player whose...

Concussions certainly aren't good for the brain. That said, it's also obvious at this point that "I played football and got brain damage" is a...

Peyton Manning when someone on his line completely whiffs a block: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DttfyOeU3vw Clearly his fault.

The Yards per pass attempt should appear with the disclaimer that the Bears were forced to play Jimmy Clausen for over a game and a half, and...

Not that I refuse to believe this, but please give an example.

A lot more than you'd think, actually.

I think that in order for an NFL head coach's season to be successful, you need to win a playoff game. Has any head coach been fired after a...

After three years, Dallas Thomas is still a bad pass blocker, a bad run blocker, and responsible for a ridiculous number of penalties. He still...

Well, uh, okay.

While Gase prefers to run a much more vertical pass offense (or at least he did with the Bears this season), prepare to see a handful of bubble...

I actually think at least one person in this thread would have been banned from Finheaven by now for being overly antagonistic. None of my...

From the outside looking in, it always seemed to me like Dallas Thomas was a "coaches' pet" type of player. He was bad, but apparently he did...

Gase has a lot more coaching experience than DC. Gase was a coach for the Lions when DC was a player for the Lions.

If this is true, I'm not sure I can even continue to say "Well, at least Joe seemed like a good person." Joe seems like a guy who threw his...

What??? If any vets treat the head coach the way Joey Porter treated Cameron, they need to be cut immediately. Also, why will they treat Gase...

Doug Marrone would be a very bad coach for our football team, but on the plus side, he would definitely get Mike Tannenbaum fired by 2020.

Jason Licht was a GM who was hired to serve at the pleasure of Lovie Smith, who had full control of every aspect of football operations, including...

I thought Lovie Smith did a really poor job in Tampa. His defense was bad and was getting worse, and he also made some game management blunders....

You seem pretty emotionally invested in bashing people in this thread for a guy who is on vacation. If you don't think that an offense's ability...

If frequent posting is a sign that someone has been furloughed, then I just want to say after reading this thread that you need to keep your chin...

I'll bite. I think the Miami Dolphins have better skill players than the Chicago Bears, particularly at quarterback and wide receiver. I will...

There were extenuating circumstances this year with Detroit, but you have a good point.

Austin is one of the most sought-after interviews out there right now.

I think that history has vindicated Mike Shanahan with respect to every player he's ever had a problem with. I think he'd be a good hire but...

When you surrender pressure like that on 3rd and very long against a 3 man front, you know you got problems. 74 problems.

Correct. Inside the tackle box, no receiver in the area, ball did not reach the line of scrimmage. Very, very easy call.

People keep trying to convince me that Dallas Thomas is at least OK in the running game. On what planet? He is getting blown into the backfield...

He wasn't a great GM, but in hindsight I'm glad that we had two years of Dennis Hickey and not two years of Ray Farmer.

I wish he cared as much about the Dolphins as he does about the Wolverines.

Offensive Line. It's been the single worst area on our football team for a few years now, and even if you want to go out and replace Ryan...

What gives you that idea? As far as I know, the only team that is even interested in him is the 49ers, and that's only a rumor.

He does have a brother, you know.

He insists that he wants to stay in the NFL. I think his ego is going to be a factor here. My guess is he winds up in Tennessee, but if not, I...

I don't think Mora is the worst option out there. It's okay to take a look. Considering that the other name Armando keeps bringing up is Eric...

I'm not a very nice person. I enjoy watching other people do stupid things that are to their own detriment. Miko Grimes is doing very stupid...

I'm a brain-addled moron, and I am easily amused. I find Miko's meltdown, the soap opera surrounding it, and many of the comments that have been...

No, this is definitely entertaining. And she is still a stupid, loud-mouthed scag.

She just ended her husband's career.

Opinions of Tannehill aside, here is what I will say: I think it is absolutely disgraceful, deplorable, and moronic that this team would invest...

I watch a lot of football games. On plays like that, quarterbacks get sacked.

From what I've heard, a lot of coaches actually take issue with it. It's an ego thing, maybe? A lot of coaches want a guy who will 'run the...

What is wrong with you?

Bill came unarmed. No idea how we won that game.

You'd like to see your quarterback find a way to handle that snap. But good Lord, come on, Pouncey. That snap looked like it came out of a cannon.

If this post was a woman, I would want to make love to her.

Dr. Clowney will never be healthy.

Tony Romo is exceptional. Dallas has a lot of problems, but he sure ain't one.

Teddy Bridgewater can play. Mike Wallace is overrated. And I'm sorry that we're still talking about it.

Jim Caldwell might be the only guy who is close.

Who exactly is chirping here? Because it looks like it's you.

I agree with those who said that it's time to move on. But yes, Joe Philbin was in the Caldwell tier of garbage coaches who shouldn't have been...

Surround your QB with garbage and often enough, you get garbage results.

We're gonna finish in the toilet like we always do. Don't even know why I root for this team anymore. I forgot why I started.

I think you are 100% right. Football is a violent, emotional game. A coach does not need to be a 'rah rah' guy to be successful, but he does...

This team looks worse than the 2007 Dolphins. Seriously.

There are talent deficiencies on this team, but I'm actually starting to think that Joe Philbin is Cam Cameron levels of bad. Just has more to...

Whether you like Tanny or not, I think we all agree that we'd at least be willing to give him a shot playing for a competent coaching staff,...

In all honesty? The bright side for me is that I no longer really feel upset about this football team being awful. I'm not sure when that...

Ignoring the low hanging fruit of "sign my letter of resignation," I don't know that there is anything that I (the hypothetical Joe Philbin...

He has a better chance of winning a Super Bowl than you have of posting something worth reading.

Pagano's comments last night were 110% a shot at Ryan Grigson. Who has done a terrible job there, by the way.

It's worth noting that we can have success playing pass happy football... when we run the two minute drill. If we're going to abandon the run...

Allow your offensive line to move forward instead of backpedaling. Force defenders to consider the threat of a run instead of simply taking their...

Both teams had drops. The drops just hurt the Dolphins more -- even though there were fewer of them -- because Miami was completely...

What hurts right now is not the realization that we need to blow up the coaching staff. What hurts is the certainty that we were right when we...

We have a poor defense and no running game. We can't really pass block, either. We are asking our QB to go out there and win it with nothing but...

He was weighed and measured in the training room after another guy got a clean shot on him.

Yes. We are entitled to our opinions. However, sometimes opinions are just really stupid and deserving of ridicule.

I can not remember the last time that we were in the same company as New England and Green Bay. Hope it lasts longer than a week.

"He was doing the worm, LaVar!" "Is that what that was? I thought he was dead."

Kirk Cousins is not a good quarterback. Kirk Cousins does not deal with pressure well. Kirk Cousins is not going to take off and run for 40...

I don't fault local writer for being a bit of a homer before the season starts to keep his readers happy. But the Redskins ****ing blow.

We ran a short passing offense in which our QB completed a high number of passes to run the clock. We had the fewest 3 and outs in the league and...

I just remember how much he loved Legedu Naanee.

How to defend Andy Dalton: make him throw to the perimeter. Done.

People have disdain for Andy Dalton because he is a poor QB with big limitations who plays on a stacked offense.

I like your 1 and 2, I'll give you that.

I believe it. In related news, I am a gullible, naive moron.

I honestly don't think that that particular 'record' is impressive. I'm just being honest, not pretending anything. And just to be on the record...

If we had been throwing aggressively downfield, I would agree with you. But we weren't. We were throwing 3 yard passes to Jarvis Landry on a lot...

I don't think that the franchise record for completions was a particularly noteworthy achievement, considering that our offense threw the ball a...

This team has somehow suckered me into thinking they might just have turned the corner.

I believe Matt Moore was 6-6 as a starter for us and we finished 6-10.

Well, it's true.

They were absolutely terrible after Delmas got hurt. Gave up over 30ppg and a perfect passer rating to Geno "0.0" Smith.

People who are fans of other teams that I talk to think that Ryan Tannehill is a pretty good young QB. "27 touchdown passes ain't chump change."...

I think they'll be fine. They're a good team with a good coach and we don't know what they haven't been caught doing yet, that they will keep...

I don't think the punishment will be anything particularly noteworthy, but it pretty much confirms that they cheated. I think that's enough for...

This report is devastating to the Patriots, even if Goodell goes easy on them.

This is really bad... for Tom Brady.

I do think it's odd that he hasn't made a public statement, at least through his lawyer, to say that of course he's innocent, it's really terrible...

I don't know how any of this all works out, but if you told me a week ago that we would: 1. Sign Suh 2. Sign Jordan Cameron 3. Sign a decent...

I'm sick to my stomach.

Now, I have never played in the NFL, but I have played football. Underinflating the ball like that will definitely make it easier to handle....

Wallace is a good player but I feel like he's a bit overrated here. 1300 yards? He had one of the very best QBs in the game (IMO a top 3-4...

Ross looks like a healthy guy. 20.

Worst owner in pro sports.

Is that before or after they do what it looks like they're going to do, and let Clay walk and cut Mike Wallace?

Kevin White or DeVante Parker would both give us something we have lacked for a very, very, very long time.

Glad you've come around, shou. The Tannyhill fanboy club welcomes you with open arms.

Yeah. Anything more than 95% is unusual, even in unscientific internet polling. Joe Philbin being such a lousy coach that he can't even polarize...

Teams had much more success against us by rushing 3-4 and dropping 7-8 into zone coverage.

I'd absolutely take him on the cheap. Absolutely. I'm not concerned about Mike Wallace in New England. Tom Brady does not throw a tremendous...

From everything, sounds to me like Mike had a moment of emotion and told Joe he wanted to sit out a series... and then when he wanted to go back...

How is he being underutilized? His three best years (2009-2011), he was a low volume target.

What the...

A lot of teams -- GOOD teams -- don't allow their QBs to audible. I'm not a fan, but he's not the only one.

Terrible OL. Don't know who will be playing WR for us. Only one serviceable TE under contract. Bad linebackers. Struggling defensive line....

Couldn't disagree more with the OP. Our defense got ****housed by the Jets, our top wide receiver decided to act like a petulant child and took...

Our coaching staff really doesn't look good coming out of this one

Two guards and a tackle who aren't completely awful.

Dolphins and Jags both finished third in their divisions this season. Anyway, I would also prefer to face the Chargers instead of the Chiefs....

No. He does have a pair of two pick games, but there's still time for a hat trick. :)

I don't think Ryan Tannehill will ever be as good as Aaron Rodgers, but at the same time, I'm not sure how you can equate team success with QB...

The League office apparently needs more time. They just awarded Rivers Player of the Week in the AFC, despite him throwing three interceptions,...

No. But I'm on my knees hoping and praying that he does something to change my mind in 2015.

Why on earth would anyone want Harbaugh to remain in the AFC?

Does Orlando Franklin qualify as a splash signing?

I think Lazor deserves a lot of credit, actually. Not so much for the offensive coordinator job, at which I have mixed feelings about him, but...

Good question. Hope the Ravens ****-can Gary Kubiak?

I don't think completion percentage is a particularly meaningful statistic when you throw as many silly 0-3 yard passes as we do. I'm a big fan...

Honestly hoping we lose if that's what it takes to get a coaching change. Very depressed today.

:lol: I was assuming that he was hoping Thomas could get out there to guarantee Philbin's dismissal. That's a tough trade, man.

Hey, you know who is guzzling the Tanny Haterade? CKParrot. I saw him put on Twitter that he hopes Dallas Thomas gets healthy for Sunday. Dude,...

There are worse things than that. The problem is that right now, Joe is turning into 2011 Tony Sparano. If we keep him, it will end in disaster.

Yep. I am not a Kaepernick fan at all, so when I look at the success the 49ers have had, it makes me even more impressed by Harbaugh. I don't...

This is a strange argument to me. 2013 Seahawks had 6'5" Zach Miller. 2012 Ravens had The Ravens had 6'4" Dennis Pitta and of course the...

I actually think this is a good situation for us. Ross would surely be happy getting Jim to either destination, so now I think we can be...

As I said, think about it from his perspective. The University of Michigan has been part of Steve's life for fifty years. When he dies, his name...

He's probably given close to that amount to Michigan. One of these has been part of his life for 50 years. The other has not. His priorities...

What I've heard is that he prefers Harbaugh at Michigan, but if Jim wants to stay in the pros, all bets are off and he will go hard for him in...

In his first 5 years in the league, Alex Smith was a marginal football player who had a low yards per pass attempt (below 7), a low percentage of...

Simple: 1. Harbaugh believes in running the football with a balanced attack, rather than throwing the ball 75% of the time. That's an...

What was there prior was 6-10. What is short term about three consecutive NFCCG appearances followed by a .500 season in which multiple key...

If "This coach has taken over three bad football teams and made all three of them championship contenders within four years" isn't a compelling...

Just admit that you kinda like Joe on a personal level and would like to see him get one more year to prove everyone wrong as a human interest...

Wait. Wait. WAIT. Dude, are you serious? He was at USD for 3 seasons. Won two consecutive Pioneer League titles. Gets promoted up to...

I just don't get why people are so vehemently opposed to Harbaugh for the reason that the 49ers want him out of there. If anything, the...

Well, yeah. An owner with an ego problem is a good reason why a team might give up a great head coach. Carroll Rosenbloom, anyone?

I do trust players to know what's good for them. But what's good for one specific player isn't necessarily what's good for the team. Riddle me...

He was banned from another site for admitting that he was a troll. Just FYI.

I think he's okay, but I certainly wouldn't make him the head coach, or tell a new head coach he should keep Lazor.

Just kill me now.

Actually, if you look at the coaches' film (and it's really cool that they make that available now IMO), Hartline really isn't open much.

That's not pass interference? Oh, right. New England.

The stadium wouldn't matter if the players and coaches were any good. I don't care how good of a venue the Orange Bowl was, I went to many UM...

Well it's 'internationally known' that Ryan Tannehill 'held the ball too long' on Sunday, according to Gregg Rosenthall, anyway, and that's really...

We have to win out to finish 10-6.

So is Philbin upset with Ryan Tannehill or something?

You need to understand that he's not necessarily 'checking down' on these throws. This offense is designed to dink and dunk. When we send 2-3...

I don't feel like Brian Hartline and Mike Wallace and Jarvis Landry are particularly better than LaFell/Edelman/Amendola. Wallace has more speed...

This is also one of the reasons Wallace struggled in 2012, even when Ben was healthy. They switched to a different offense with west coast concepts.

Yeah man that AFCN that has beaten up on the Titans, Jags, Saints, Falcons, Panthers and Bucs sure is good.

Two years from now, when Mike Wallace is pulling the same garbage routine in another city, and we have wide receivers who can actually execute...

Did you even watch Geno Smith? The Jets didn't throw the game. The jets called the only game that allowed them to compete.

If we lose to Baltimore, season is over. Honestly don't care about the Pats game right now. Good chance it will be meaningless.

So David Woodley was a better Qb than Archie Manning?

This is great reading. Lot of stuff I did not know.

I think it's more likely that Mike Sherman wasn't doing a proper job of teaching Ryan Tannehill things he needed to learn, like proper footwork.

Denver's defense was among the best in the NFL in many statistical or analytical categories before today's game.

The way I see it is, for this team to have a chance at the playoffs, we must finish 10-6. In order to finish 10-6, Ryan Tannehill must play four...

Tough to blame Lazor unless he was the person responsible for putting Daryn Colledge out there to block no one.

Fins Hipster is a pretty good new screen name, shou.

Denver or KC. The two teams that can abuse the crap out of our offensive line.

Well, he's a Steelers fan.

Aaron Rodgers was called for intentional grounding Sunday on a pass that was closer to the 'intended' target than Orton's was.

2008 team played a schedule that the 2014 team would be 9-1 against right now.

Ja'Wuan James has certainly made me a believer. I love how steady he is. Great, sound technique and he just always seems to be up to the task....

Aye carumba!

I don't feel like I can cast a vote because I'm honestly not sure what the hell else we can do with our OL right now.

1. Buffalo 2. Get back to me on Friday.

I think he's a below average head coach with good coordinators and one really great position coach in Kacy Rodgers.

Detroit had a timeout left when they scored with 29 seconds left. We needed a first down.

Yes but we need to take another big step forward in four days or we'll have to do the rest of our improving in 2015. Probably with a different...

I definitely think Jarvis Landry will finish with more than 600 yards the way he's being utilized now.

Florio is a WVU guy and he is still upset about Pat White. Go back and read the PFT archives from the past 5 years or so.

Some of those are fantastic. Wallace fighting for the ball, such a good shot.

I'm not a fan of using Cameron Wake in the zone blitz as a staple of the gameplan. I'll just leave it at that.

Yes, of course it is. When playing against a quarterback like Matt Stafford who isn't particularly mobile and is prone to making awful throws...

Thomas was really good on special teams. Ugh.

Certainly not 2013. He was around 20th best in the league in terms of passer rating and he did throw 24 touchdowns behind a straight garbage...

Best I've ever seen him play and it's not even close. If this is the kind of performance he can start to bring more often, we're going places.

I'm sorry but we really, really need to address the kicking situation.

Do you think they'll really give him playing time, or maybe just roll with more 3 wr sets?

I'm sick of watching garbage can offenses.

I think they should feel very comfortable. Nobody is going to take those contracts.

I'm concerned.

This is as good of an explanation as I've seen offered. What really bothers me is the drops. It has become a trend, and it is a very disturbing...

Why would Philly want him? Honest question. He would not get playing time over Maclin, Cooper, or Jordan Matthews.

I think Joe Philbin is stubborn about playing 'his guys' and prefers to play veterans, even when they are struggling. Sometimes you just have to...

I don't trade for anyone. I look at our own bench, and bring in new starting left guard Billy Turner. I move Mike Pouncey back to center, and to...

I think the reason is simple. We are poorly coached.

We can't afford another game of Colledge - Satele - Pouncey in the interior. We are throwing away our season doing that.

I feel like Joe Philbin needs to have a 'moment of truth' this week and just sit down and look at which players have not been able to get it done,...

This has to be on the coaching right? Defense can't stop the 32nd best offense in the league, offense can't block anyone or do anything right,...

I like Bortles but he definitely needed to sit this year. He just isn't ready. He's been really, really bad.

Defense stayed in Miami. Not good.

You're joking, right? the LG got beat pretty much off the snap and his man hit the QB while he was looking right.

I still think you can roll him out or run boots on 10% of your pass attempts while developing him. The Seahawks do it more often than that and...

Enjoying an entertaining interview = worshiping the interviewer. Okay.

I am a big fan of Joe Montana but he does not belong in the top 3 and I'd honestly be hard pressed to put him in the top 5. Johnny Unitas,...

Marino would be incredible in today's game. Woodson and other players who played with and against him all pretty much agree on that point....

Denver is going to beat us like one of Adrian Peterson's 37 children.

How could you not have Dan Marino in your top ten QBs of all time discussion?

Not to be that guy, but... I've rarely seen him with the time.

A lot of reasons. Better line play, more read option looks, and some other stuff. For instance, do you see us when we line up with wide...

I'm starting Ryan Tannehill in fantasy and I haven't started a Dolphins player in fantasy since, 2003?

Seattle averaged 209 passing yards per game last season and won the Super Bowl.

I actually think this is a big game for us. The way the Dolphins have played in the past 3 games, the team is trending toward a playoff level of...

Well, I honestly feel like the tremendous strides our offense is making right now in terms of scoring output, rushing efficiency, and now passing...

Golden Tate was extremely underrated, but I feel the same way about Doug Baldwin. Perhaps not to the extent that Tate was, but Baldwin and...

Good. I'm glad our team is flying under the radar. :)

That's what I was thinking... if there is some way to move Hartline and Gibson, I would do this in a heartbeat. He would be the PERFECT...

My take on that is different. I believe the challenge was smart. It was 4th down, Joe clearly wanted to go for it, and I think he wanted to take...

Which is smart. You can continue to develop your quarterback's areas of weakness while still capitalizing on his strengths and getting production...

I might feel differently about the Packers loss if we rattle off 2 more wins in a row, but right now that wound still hurts, and the fear that...

Same as last week, no. The Dolphins beat up the Bears today, and that's great, but I still have my questions about Joe Philbin's decision-making...

I don't know, but after he had the graft surgery his chances of being able to come back and play NFL football were really slim. He's almost...

Two orthopedic surgeons I know told me to put money on him never coming back. One of them I talk to regularly swears he is juicing hard. :pointlol:

It's not the number of sacks. It is the rate at which he is being sacked. If you call 50 pass plays and get sacked twice, that's actually pretty...

On the subject of the Tannehill shovel pass last week, I saw something like that again this week. Play that stood out to me today: Jared Allen...

We will be favored in this game and we need to come out and step on their throats from start to finish. I like that we took the ball first today....

My honest opinion: that was not a well officiated game. At all. The officials tried very hard to keep the home team competitive.

QB is playing well enough for the team to win at the half. QB needs to continue playing that way in the second half or I'm going to act like a...

We would probably be up by 21 if not for a crummy PI call. He should have thrown the ball away on that third down but right now my biggest...

Colledge getting hurt could be bad, but he's probably the most expendable of our four starting OL.

Lazor bringing his A-Game. Really, really nice play design on a couple of those.

Briggs is out? I'm going to flip out if we lose this one. Ryan Tannehill, bring it.

Juice gets the start. I was a fan of what Brandon Gibson did last season, but he's looked slow and pointless in this offense, and the drops...

Not to further derail too much, but when someone has been banned from every fan site he posts on, perhaps there is a reason for it. On topic,...

I've had that game written off in the L column since the schedule came out.

If Ryan Tannehill has a 400 yard, 4 td, 0 int performance anywhere inside of him, it needs to come out tomorrow.

If Ryan Tannehill plays 4 good quarters, we win. He hasn't done it yet this season.

If somebody pinched my wife's ***, I'd pop him. That's a lot different from getting drunk at a football game and ganging up to stomp the **** out...

I'm still laughing at this. That photo is amazing.

I liked the exchange they caught on camera when Riley Cooper (I think?) went to Chip Kelly on the sideline and asked him what his plan was for the...

Geno Smith throws that pass, it goes for a pick six, and we laugh. Ryan Tannehill doesn't throw that pass and he's a moron. I don't know.

That's... fantastic.

Can you be more specific about this? I've no clue what you're talking about.

My #11 would be that if we can somehow go up to Chicago and whoop the Bears (hey, they play in the NFC North!), we're 3-3 with four division games...

Wallace doesn't make his break until the play is long over because of the pressure. There was no hot read to Wallace there. Watch the dang...

Right, I get that, which is why I asked for an opinion from one of the board gurus. I'm not an expert, so when I see that play I just see that...

Here's the situation as the QB is finishing his drop, yeah? [IMG] Two clean rushers with a full head of steam and free runs on the...

Here, in two seconds of searching, I found it on twitter: https://twitter.com/NFLFilmStudy/status/522439088943554560 I can't believe how ****ty...

Look at the all-22 of that 2nd down play. Heck, you can find it on Twitter if you're really curious. Ryan Tannehill's options on that play were...

The pellet gun thing isn't getting enough press because of the rape allegations. That's my honest opinion. You go into the police reports on...

The whole queasy thing, to me, completely explains the tenure of Joe Philbin. Joe is a Seinfeld fan, and he is clearly George Costanza. Like Ron...

Tannehill just said in his media availability that he indeed threw the ball away because he was told they were going for the first down, and he...

There's no way he survives 2-5, IMO. None.

The QB saved his bacon by avoiding a sack on 2nd down when Lazor called a play that involved receivers hugging each other in a group exercise in...

The post I was responding to specifically said that those guys were outplaying Ryan Tannehill. They aren't. You can talk about slack and...

For the brief remainder of Joe's tenure here in Miami, he will be 'Coach Queasy.'

I honestly feel like I could do Joe Philbin's job. I really mean that. What does he do? Looks at internal analytics and determines practice and...

FSU supposedly doesn't want him back for another year. He's a great talent but I wouldn't touch him with a ten foot pole. His decision making...

Not a chance. I've watched 3 games of Carr and 3 of Davis. They aren't outplaying Tannehill, not even close. Austin Davis does not have an NFL...

There is no cure for losing. Only preventative measures.

The whole first half/second half thing is something that really seems to have affected the entire offense. Our running game has been bad in some...

Manning's release is insane. Every year when I look at the PFF stats for 'fastest time to throw' Peyton Manning is in the top three and he's...

Peyton Manning is an all time great but I honestly believe Rodgers is a better player. I think we can give Manning more trouble with our pass...

Omar Kelly ✔ @OmarKelly "We talked in the team meeting and said "look, we've got to be tougher than that...

Apparently, Philbin went into the team meeting room today and told the players they must be more mentally tough to avoid losing like that. Coach...

Voted fire him regardless of what happens. At first I wanted to vote for "reaches conference championship game," but the truth is that if we...

I agree. And I still think it is likely that Ryan Tannehill develops into that sort of player. It's really difficult for me to ignore the...

Out of curiosity, do you feel he's slightly above average now, or that slightly above average is his ceiling?

You're a funny guy, Rosco. I like you. That's why I'm going to fist bump you last.

Certainly not Lazor. Lazor is the only reason I have not completely given up on Ryan Tannehill as the quarterback of the Miami Dolphins. Ryan...

Overall, he certainly didn't. However, the bar I set for Ryan Tannehill is not Aaron Rodgers. The bar I set for Ryan Tannehill right now -- as...

So, because I dislike the coaching of a guy who has an overall losing record as head coach and whose teams consistently demonstrate the same...

What I want to know is who are the 9% who actually approve of the job the coaching staff is doing?

Drunk idiots. Ban them from the stadium.

I agree that he should have been fired after 2012. However, at this point, you've committed to him, yeah? Would Ross look hasty or emotional to...

The poll doesn't ask if you want to fire him right now. The poll asks if you approve of the job he is doing. It's similar to a presidential...

Well, that's nice. I wasn't a barely functional moron with no self control when I was 25 years old. I couldn't afford to be, because I wasn't a...

I'd be on board with firing him today if I were 100% certain that it wouldn't hurt our chances to attract and secure a top tier coaching candidate.

My friend, you are scared of having a good coach? Would you care to trade phobias? I'm afraid of being stuck with a bad one.

I think there's a chance of playoffs with an interim head coach. But that's just me.

I agree that this is a pretty valid complaint. The third down playcall doesn't make any sense if we were indeed trying to push for first downs....

Can't fire him after a 3 point loss to an elite quarterback in the final 3 seconds, can you? And a loss to the Bears probably puts a huge nail...

Cole specifically said that he spoke to Miami Dolphins players about Joe Philbin. I don't think that's hard to believe. David Canter does...

Consider the following: 1. The Dolphins went toe to toe with the Packers, and it was a great football game. 2. Miami had the lead with 2...

It's only a matter of time now.

I'm really glad that both Rodney Harrison and Dan Patrick called out the Dolphins coaching staff, last night and this morning. I think that as a...

He's just wasting snaps right now. I like the guy, but it's truth. Go look at the catch Jarvis Landry made in the end zone yesterday. That's...

Harbaugh will actually be available. Don't screw it up this time. Please?

You can have Joe back now. Everyone wins.

Philbin will be fired. However, I have no faith that we will land an upgrade with Ross calling the shots.

I saw this thread on Finheaven. The OP concluded that because Davone Bess had a higher WPA than Calvin Johnson, he was a better playmaker.

It was a terrible decision because he had already committed to trying to get the first down, rather than running out the clock. Why change...

We need it REAL bad here.

3rd quarter is almost gone and we got 10 points and 2 turnovers. Defense is gonna give out eventually.

This is truly amazing.

I'm searching desperately for some kind of positive to take from our offense in the first half. Clay looks healthier? Yippee. Maybe if the QB...

Honestly I feel about the same way. Even if we go down the field and score here, I don't even think I'll be excited. We're just... boring.

This team doesn't even upset me anymore. I'm officially numb to this team sucking.

His interception rate (per attempt) is greatly improved through the first quarter of the season. I'm not so much worried about the turnover rate...

You're a better football analyst than three out of four FOX crew color guys.

With our luck, Lazor takes a college coaching job and Joe Philbin brings in Greg Knapp. Harbaugh goes to the Jets. And I go get myself a length...

Well I'll say this, I've seen 36 games of Joe Philbin and 4 games of Bill Lazor. If you gave me a choice between keeping one of them right now,...

Yeah, pump the brakes on the Lazor talk. I like what I've seen but outside of Miami, is anyone thinking about him as a head coaching candidate?

Honestly, the only expectations of mine that have gone down with respect to the Harbaugh situation are my expectations for the 49ers' future after...

You'd think that after our experience with Joe Philbin, this team wouldn't be stupid enough to hire Peyton Manning's personal secretary.

I've read on numerous occasions that there's supposedly a lot of friction between York and Harbaugh. York is also one of those owners who likes...

I thought the reason he's going to be out of SF is that the damn owner of the team thinks he is more important to the team's success than the...

Actually I'm pretty sure we should just figure out how to lure Dick Vermeil out of retirement at this point.

I'm actually doing research right now on quarterbacks, coaches, and passer efficiency numbers and how they fit together. Dirk Koetter is one of...

He's a good defensive coordinator, that's for sure. And his players play hard for him, that's also for sure. I'm just really troubled by a lot...

The biggest problem with Rex is that his team is a disorganized, dysfunctional mess.

I might be in the minority, but I don't want Rex anywhere near this football team.

Bengals look like they're coached by Joe Philbin.

Andy Dalton is an extremely overrated quarterback and I do not care what the efficiency statistics say about him. He's only good with house money.

Andy Slater @AndySlater · 24m 24 minutes ago...

Supposedly he got into a brouhaha at a club, was asked to leave by the bouncers, and refused. Not sure if he got into a fight with someone or...

**** Nick Saban.

I honestly think that Joe Philbin stumbled into something last week by putting his foot in his mouth. Ryan Tannehill looks to me like a guy who...

I can't believe anyone who has ever watched both players play football would ever make that comparison.

They should let Deion up into the booth to do commentary for the second half. Nantz and Simms are brutal and at least Deion would make fun of the...

I benched him in fantasy the second I saw Bridgewater was out. Christian Ponder is AWFUL. Well, I guess you can see that.

Yeah that's a great site. I always kind of liked Sage Rosenfels. The Rosencopter!

I can't disagree with this strongly enough. I routinely travel to a +13 time zone, and I've taken numerous trips to England/Germany/France. IMO,...

As others noted, it's his ability to catch the football and then immediately get upfield in one fluid motion that is so impressive to me about...

Of course he was holding them back. Jim Harbaugh took basically that same roster and made them a 13-3 juggernaut. I think the obvious...

Yes there is. I read that he actually told his offensive coordinator, Jimmy Raye, that he wanted a high school offense. That said, bad head...

Jaguars are the worst defense in football. It is not even close. Giving up over 34 offensive points per game. Oakland is giving up about 24.

I would honestly say yes AT THIS MOMENT, but with the caveat that the quarterback play in the AFC East is terrible right now. Tom Brady, I don't...

Sorry, wasn't really a shot at Philbin or people who don't want to fire him right away, but more my head-scratching confusion at Dolphins fans,...

I personally feel like we're seeing some sort of Stockholm Syndrome here with the Dolphins fans. We have been subject to bad coaching for so long...

Food for thought: The Raiders have given up the most points per game of any team Miami has faced this season. The Indianapolis Colts have played...

I don't think it's any coincidence that Ryan Tannehill was good running play action from under center. Ryan Tannehill is good at running play...

Patriots might bounce back and win some games, but I feel confident in saying this: That dynasty is done.

1. It's not my money, so that's not really an issue for me. 2. I don't think it's an issue for Steve Ross, based on what I've heard, either.

Well, week 6 is the Packers. Game 6 is the Bears.

I don't get how you infer that Jim Harbaugh is a bad person from the fact that Jim Harbaugh sometimes has hilariously petulant overreactions to...

Rodgers is the best QB in the game, but he doesn't have the best team in the league around him. Winnable game, but we need to hit them early and...

How does this help us? EJ isn't good.

I think the fact that Harbaugh acts like a huge baby on the sidelines actually brings value to the team. It's entertainment. It gives us really...

2010 San Francisco 49ers finished 6-10. They were 24th in points scored and 16th in points allowed. 2011 San Francisco 49ers finished 13-3....

They complained about a young Don Shula back then, too. Don was a hard-***. Don't get me wrong, I am not comparing Harbaugh to Shula in terms of...

Fair enough. All I'm saying is that it doesn't matter if the players LIKE their coach, in my opinion. Players LIKED Tony Sparano, or so I kept...

I believe that was on Sims. Looked like the Raiders were in zone and Sims was supposed to sit down in the soft spot. If you want a bad throw,...

I don't care if players like or dislike their coach. Many good coaches have been disliked by their players. What matters is if the coach is good...

I'll take a great coach whose players don't necessarily like him over a not-very-good coach whose players don't necessarily like him. You guys...

Oh, I agree. I saw both games and they played a much better game last week. But they weren't jet lagged. They were just stuck on a two week...

The Raiders were in London for six days. They weren't jet lagged.

He definitely had a different demeanor today. When the camera was on him in the huddle you could see him laughing and joking. I don't think I've...
