Separate names with a comma.
I think the Dolphins accepted the fact they were biting the proverbial bullet cutting Tua,Tyreek and Ramsey. Sure, it’s $100 million dead cap for...
My epiphany on the importance of the trenches, particularly the offensive line came when I saw an ESPN breakdown of the Washington Redskins during...
Owes and Key, join in beating the drum I’ve been beating ever since I joined this site. It just boggles the mind how some put such a low...
As time has gone on, I’ve become more and more convinced the Dolphins are a cash cow for Ross. Because of the revenue the Dolphins generate? Oh...
Well surely everyone is available for the right price. As I said in the other thread in Waddle, if someone offered the Dolphins a 1st round pick...
Achane is on the final year of his rookie contract. If the Dolphins don't extend him, he'll be a free agent and if his 2026 performance mirrors...
I’m quite shocked at the trade but in the long game, it is a smart move. Waddle has had problems staying healthy and if we’re going to get 2...
2026 is going to suck. Let's not have any illusions about that, but I do like how it seems a lot of the contracts the Dolphins are signing are...
I’m so glad Grier is no longer here. He would be his type of player.
Is his name pronounced U-See, U-chee or U-chay? Anyone know?
Well it just seems that kickers are viewed anymore the same as Grier viewed offensive linemen…you don’t realize how much you need one until you...
Is he an upgrade from Patterson? I mean, sure he couldn’t kick the LONG ball but he only missed 2 kicks last season.
One year contract worth up to $3.25 million, meaning there’s quite a bit of incentives in there. I think we’re going to see a lot of Dolphins...
I’m glad we brought him back. I thought he did quite well and has a lot of promise
Video of Willis highlights. [MEDIA]
Even though Fitzpatrick was traded to the Jets for only a 7th round pick, the trade does a lot more than folks may realize. It frees up...
Some details on his contract. $67 million over 3 years $45 million guaranteed $22.5 million signing bonus, $1.25 million salary for year 1 Year...
I didn’t think we had a shot at him at all with our cap situation. I haven’t seen him play so I guess it’s time to dig into YouTube and see...
The Miami Dolphins today cut fullback Alec Ingold and kicker Jason Sanders. The expected cuts help relieve the Dolphins anorexic salary cap...
He’s more injury prone than Tua. I know I don’t want him. At 5’10”, Tua is taller than him.
Speaking of releases, the Cardinals have announced they will be releasing their 2019 1st round pick in Kyler Murray....
Had Grier said no and exercised Tua’s 5th year option, we wouldn’t all be so annoyed over the current cap situation. At some point, we’re going...
When we traded Tannehill to the Titans, I KNEW he was going to have success if given the chance. Sitting 2nd string to Mariotta I knew he would....
Longer than that. Think about it. Most of the NFL players have been playing football since Pop Warner, that's 20 years (in Tua's case)
Bob Baffert :lol:
You're missing the point Pump. The question isn't whether or not he is a franchise quarterback. The question is whether or not a team is willing...
You're missing or dismissing the point all together. Unless a player is THAT GOOD, no team is going to absorb that much of a dumb contract when...
Highexhaulted is right. Why would any team make a trade for ANY player and absorb such an idiotic contract when they can pick him up for pennies...
The thing about the Packers is they don’t “panic draft” a quarterback. They draft them, develop them early and have them sit behind their...
My intent is not to dismiss the importance of the quarterback — it’s the most important position in sports. But we’ve repeatedly seen teams,...
I’m not making any argument for or against the drafting of any particular quarterback. This is purely informational but it does illustrate how...
Tua wasn’t one of the worst draft picks. Nowhere near it. Where Grier screwed the pooch was never building a complete offense, before and after...
I get ya Key but if we could trade him and pick up any draft pick, with Sullivan and Hafley stating they want to rebuild through the draft, every...
Oh I agree but that "deadline" if you will hasn't come to pass yet. If we cut Tua prior to June 1st, we're ripping that band aid off. Its only...
I’m ALMOST of the same mindset. Rip that mother fooking band aid off and take the pain in 2026. The only reason I’m not COMPLETELY in that...
Well I’m sure that is what Chubb would like but if we can get anything for him trading him, that’s the business. Hell, I’d take a 7th for him....
I believe the Dolphins are trying to see if they can get a trade for Chubb.
I’m not expecting doom and gloom per se but I am expecting the growing pains that are going to come from a new regime. I’m just hopeful with the...
It's only going to be a sh1tfest this season if you're expecting the Dolphins to have a playoff season. We should all be expecting the 2026 Miami...
I prefer Woodford Reserve:lol:
Hill will NEVER be the same again. In my layman’s viewpoint, that injury was catastrophic and career ending. He may try and come back but it won’t...
As for Waddle and Achane, it’s all going to come down to WHO are we going to be on offense? Achane and Waddle bring incredible speed. That’s a...
Waddle and Achane are both still relatively young and I feel you could build around them but if a team were to offer you a 1st and a 3rd for one...
We're going to see a lot more of these releases in the coming weeks. With Chubb and Hill also set to be released, it appears that Dolphins are...
Well we’re about to find out if it was Tua, McDaniel or the combination of both. If Herbert absolutely BALLS OUT in 2026, then credit to McDaniel...
I’d actually like to sit and have a heart to heart conversation with him and ask him ONE simple question…”What happened?” His answer, his...
Ideally, run and pass coordinators do all of the research on the upcoming team and advise the OC pre-planning and during actual game time. If they...
It’s a futures contract. The worst that will happen is he one of the 37 players cut following preseason
I saw this interview. He also went on to say that Tua's confidence is shot and his arm strength isn't there any more...his passes don't have the...
Curious what Gase has been doing for the last 5 years.
He basically designs passing plays and develops schemes to be used in the game based on the opponents defensive capabilities. Same thing with the...
OC was too much for Patullo but there is quantifiable data to suggest he was successful as pass game coordinator. If all he’s going to be...
You and I often see eye to eye on a lot of things but you’re looking at the Patriots in the playoffs in a vacuum. The AFC Championship game...
First off, the disclaimer. Gotta get that out of the way. I like Vrabel for reasons previously discussed but as the the New England Patriots, the...
Since I’m an AFC man, I hadn’t followed the Seahawks closely enough to realize their defense was as dominant as they were. For some reason I...
No, compensation comes only from losing current coordinators who have served in that capacity for 2 years.
The Dolphins options for Tua... 1. Just keep him on the roster and let hm compete for the starting job, be it against Ewers, a free agent we...
Well, he CAN but the question is though, WILL he? As it is now, I'm not optimistic he'll make his way back to a starting role on any team.
See, this is where I completely disagree. You can’t build a winner off of failure. Winning begets winning. Now I don’t expect the 2026 Dolphins to...
I don’t see Tua being released. I don’t see anyone trading for him either, not with the contract he has. Sure, the bump in the cap will be a...
This is actually a GOOD hire. When Green Bay’s DB corps was healthy, they played lights out.
Both teams couldn’t throw the ball either. Those throws by Stidham (sp?) and Maye were atrocious. You can’t throw the ball effectively in those...
If yesterday’s AFC Championship game proved anything, you HAVE to be able to run the ball, especially when our division opponents are all...
I would expect Weaver to depart Miami and take a position on Harbaugh’s staff in New York.
I’m not going to turn this into another Tannehill thread. Bottom line is I liked Tannehill, I knew you could win with Tannehill and Vrabel was...
I know it’s sacrilege and I ask forgiveness but I’m happy the Pats are going to the dance. Not for Robert Kraft, or the Patriots as an...
The Rooney Rule needs to go away. I understand the intent of the rule but it sure seems as if the letter or the rule and not the spirit of the...
Why? Serious question
C’mon Cardinals!!!!!
My only concern is him becoming too involved as a play caller on defense that the rest of team suffers as a result. Gase, Flores,...
Good interview with Hafley. Sure it’s the honeymoon period but he does say all of the right things. [MEDIA]
I liked their comments regarding quarterbacks, and I’m paraphrasing here but they seem to have the team building philosophy I have, build the...
If Mauigoa is projected to be one of the first players off the board, I doubt we’d have a shot at him, but it would be nice. Draft a natural RT,...
I can see Weaver as the Steelers head coach. As far as traits and demeanor goes, he does embody the Steelers image of a strong leader that brings...
I hope he gets a head coaching job. Two 3rd round comp picks would be awesome!!
My wife said Sullivan has pointy ears like Spock. I said great, he’ll be logical :lol:
If McDaniel runs the same offense in San Diego as he did in Miami, we'll see if Herbert is able to run it better than Tua did before his decline....
Wayne Huizenga was the owner. The Robbie’s sold their controlling interest in the Dolphins in 1994. The tax laws just made the Robbies keeping the...
We're in relatively uncharted waters here. The last time the Dolphins went THIS far outside of the organization for a rebuild was the hiring of...
I watched the CFP National Championship game last night. I don’t know what you guys saw or think, but after seeing how Miami’s defense played...
Well in fairness to Hafley’s record at BC, look at the records of his predecessor and successor. In this day and age of NIL, it’s difficult to get...
I’m not so sure. Was McCarthy a GOOD coordinator or did he benefit from Rodgers outstanding play? Honest question
If this was a hire with Grier as the GM, I wouldn’t be thrilled at all. Sullivan is bringing in someone he knows and worked with so it may be a...
Hafley’s defense has been top 5 so that’s actually a good thing. His only knows our defense has been inconsistent at best. Plus with his...
McDermott's first year in Buffalo in 2017, he went 9-7 with Tyrod Taylor as his quarterback and made the playoffs. The Bills drafted Allen in...
While I hate the Patriots, Bills and Jets because they are in our division, I do like Mike Vrabel. I like what he did in Tennessee and thought...
Well the thing about McDaniel’s offense that he failed to stick to was the run game. His first 2 years it was all Tua. Once that train was...
Good God Fineas, you wrote a book! LOL Willis has played with his limited opportunities…in Green Bay. That offensive scheme fits his skill set...
I truly believe if McDaniel is hired by the right team as their OC, he’ll have a lights out offense and will be back in the head coaching...
I don’t know, maybe but we had already hired Sullivan and he could have determined McDaniel didn’t fit into his vision of the team. McDaniel was...
Philbin was hired as some offensive guru when all he was doing was riding Rodger's coat tails and getting the credit for his play on the field.
I'm SO relieved he's out of the picture now. Everyone can point to the disfunction of the Browns organization but it was Stefanski completely...
Everyone taste that? That delicious taste of Josh Allen tears? :sidelol:
Until the Dolphins have hired their new coach, no one knows for sure what’s going to happen with Tua
Didn’t want to start a new thread and I figured this was a good place to post this video. Not sure who all is in the video but I know Omar Kelly...
THE common denominator in the Dolphins woes was Chris Grier. Could you point the finger at Ross? Sure, he is the owner but it was Grier that...
No one is going to trade for Tua. He’ll be released post June 1st, the Dolphins will bite the bullet on his contract and move on from there.
This actually surprised me…in a good way. Has Ross FINALLY learned his lesson? It’s apparently clear to me, Ross has hired Sullivan and has put...
If you do the research, you’ll find that head coaches with offensive backgrounds peak quicker but don’t have as long of a tenure. As the...
I just did a deep dive on Pittsburgh and the reason for their success for 55 years and only having 3 head coaches in that time frame. First, all...
Well if Lefleur is staying in Green Bay, you can forget about getting Willis.
Andy Reid is established. 4 straight NFC championship game and 1 Super Bowl appearance in Philadelphia…even before his Super Bowl runs in Kansas...
Meanwhile, back in Miami…Ewers has had 3 NFL starts.
If McDaniel lands the right gig, he’s going to have a dominate offense for years to come.
No more coordinators. Every coordinator we’ve hired has reverted back to what he was…a play caller. We have GOT to have an adult in the room. A...
A player’s BEST ability is his availability. I heard that over and over concerning Tua hence a lot of the criticism against him, because he was so...
That’s right, it was 21-6. Blurry and groggy old eyes before stumbling to bed lol
I fell asleep watching the game last night. I woke up and it was midway through the 3rd quarter and saw Green Bay was leading 17-6 I think it...
Depending on what happens with the Packers this weekend, there is a POSSIBILITY Matt Lefluer may be out in Green Bay. LeFleur is seeking a...
Grier may have SAID that but seeing how egregious our salary cap situation is, it’s quite evident he did the opposite, built the team through free...
Well with us hiring Sullivan instead of Alexander, I think we’re going to miss out on Harbaugh
There were rules against tampering then. If I remember correctly, the Dolphins not only lost a 1st round draft pick in tampering to get Shua but...
I don’t want another first time HC. I don’t care how good and OC or DC he is. We’ve rolled the dice on 6 first time head coaches since 2007....

It’s been quite the 96 hours since the start of Black Monday. It had been rumored but I don’t believe anyone could have truly foreseen Harbaugh‘s...
Well welcome back…I hope
Watched this video this morning… [MEDIA] After watching this, I thought to myself, maybe Miami is making a play for Harbaugh. Now with...
Well where in the heck have you been????????
It’s not just Ross and Harbaugh. Alexander is receiving an in person interview with the Dolphins for GM. He learned under Ozzie Newsome at...
You do realize Harbaugh won the Super Bowl with Joe Flacco, right? Not a light ‘em up franchise quarterback.
According to CBS Sports, the Giants are the odds on favorite to land John Harbaugh as their next head coach…followed by the Miami Dolphins....
Amazing how a thread on Ewers turns into a thread on Tua. Ok, this is all I’m going to say regarding Tua and re-direct the thread back on track...
If the Dolphins hire any of the San Francisco candidates, I would venture to say McDaniel’s tenure in Miami is secure.
I would a viagra induced mega erection if the Dolphins were to land Harbaugh!!!! Gee, what happened the last time time the Dolphins went all in,...
I have wanted John Harbaugh for years. If Mike McDaniel is fired, you know they’re going after him
Most likely but if Flores wants a guarantee to get fired, he’ll go to Vegas or New York. His best opportunity would be the Atlanta job. It’s a...
Beat me to it
I’ll answer this by saying this… Look at how many games Lamar Jackson has missed due to injury vs how many games Tua Tagovailoa has missed due to...
Stefanski’s firing isn’t surprising to me but Pete Carroll’s? Wow, talk about impatient! But then again, what do you expect from the Raiders?...
I don’t think we’re going to learn anything about McDaniel’s future with the Dolphins until the new general manager is hired.
If McDaniel is back next season, and he isn't the new GM's choice to be head coach ie; "yes we want you as our new GM but you have to work with...
Truthfully, if Baltimore was stupid enough to fire John Harbaugh, I'm all in on grabbing him. The Ravens have had a top 10 defense over the last...
Well we didn't even make it to Monday. The Falcons fire head coach Raheem Morris and GM Terry Fontenot. The Falcons 4 game winning streak to end...
In his defense, he's a RG that was made to play LG. While some may not see that as an issue, everything is completely backwards. You train and...
While I’ll admit having THE quarterback is important, I’ll raise it even one better. What could be more important than having the right...
Well, it is coming. Black Monday is only 4 hours away and this is when teams purge their coaches. Whose names will we see? Post coaching news here.
The team has checked out. They're just going through the motions now.
And to think there is SOOOOO much talk about Anthony Weaver being a candidate for a head coaching position. For WHAT???
What Ross truly needs to do is get the GM hired as soon as possible, and there are plenty of candidates out there that are available effective...
I’m not so sure. Aikmen was quite critical of McDaniel and Tua on air during the Pittsburgh game. Concerning McDaniel, Aikmen was very critical...
I was about to post this. I actually like Aikmen. Hopefully he brings a good perspective to the new GM search.
That’s an odd January move…AND to be on the active roster. What would really bake your noodle is if Tua was relegated to the practice squad.
This didn't age well. Love the taste of salty Bills tears! :lol:
Ok, then WHO is the best player on the board that you feel sabotaging progress is worth intentionally losing for? The Raiders have 2 wins The...
I don’t see how you couldn’t be happy with the win. If you are somehow under the impression that a higher draft position than being in the top 10...
Well everyone wants to play on a Super Bowl winning team but at some point, you have to be part of building that Super Bowl team. Otherwise all...
Trading Achane away would be one of the DUMBEST moves the team could ever do, especially if the Dolphins are moving away from Tua and to a new...
You missed a treat. Csonka didn’t avoid contact, he LOOKED for it!
For me, my favorite all time running back for the Dolphins has always been Csonka. I mean, he’s the ONLY back in NFL history penalized for...
One bright spot on the Dolphins dismal season is De’Von Achane being selected to the 2025 Pro Bowl. Achane has had 1726 total scrimmage yards,...
The Dolphins screwed by yet another penalty...and now a turnover Grrrrrr
Hopefully we can establish the ground game and not put so much pressure on Ewers to deliver all on his own.
All of this gloating is getting ridiculous. Reading some of these posts, I can't help but envision "Kevin" from Home Alone, "YYYYYYESSSSSSS, yes...
Oh good God! AI can indeed be quite scary. I think any rational person wouldn’t believe this is real but Lord Almighty, it sure sounded like him
This is from ChatGPT If Tua Tagovailoa were to retire, the Miami Dolphins’ salary cap impact depends heavily on how and why he retires — and...

Ewers is a rookie and he's going to make rookie mistakes. It's going to take a hot minute for him to be on the same page with his receivers....
Well Ewers can’t panic in the pocket anymore than Tua has lately. That was something else I noticed watching film on Tua today. He used to stand...
No a thousand times over times infinity squared
I just saw this and was going to post it. As I said in one of the other threads, I was a supporter of Tua and I believed in him. I think his...
For those who are wanting the higher draft pick to draft a quarterback, this is a very VERY thin draft for quarterback. The only quarterback that...

My fandom started off as a result of the most nonsensical thing that could come from a 7 year old boy. Sitting with my grandfather when the game...
Sadly, history is against the Dolphins for this Monday night's game. The Dolphins are 1-5 in games against teams in which the kickoff temperature...
I was an enthusiastic 7 year old boy watching my first year of football.
Either Grier’s dismissal lit a fire under the Dolphins coaching staff/players and sent a signal, or somehow Grier just seemed to have THAT MUCH of...

I don't have to put any effort into hating New York, that just comes naturally! :lol2: It did appear that our running attack was faltering...
Buffalo is an average team?
Had McDaniel implemented this run attack in 2023, with the line we had with Armstead, Jackson, Williams and Hunt, while Tua was playing lights out...
Remember though Res, the Dolphins beat the Bills. That is a GOOD team. The Dolphins struggled on 3rd down. It wasn’t until the 4th quarter we...
The Jets’ defense is actually pretty good. Folks forget that. It’s the rest of the team that’s so terrible that has them in the cellar.
I guess Buffalo sucks? We just beat them.
Well it’s settling down a bit. I just saw the 3rd TD drive. Looks like Miami is putting an *** whipping on the Jets. Hope Miami puts up a 40 burger

In my humble opinion, drafting a quarterback for the sake of drafting a quarterback doesn’t make a lot of sense. That’s the ONE pick you have GOT...
Sometimes while watching the Dolphins, I'll keep track of stats as I watch the game. Yesterday was one of those days I didn't. I didn't need to;...
Patterson, Thompson, tomato, artichoke
If we hold on to win, credit Achane, the defense and Thompson for his 4 field goals
You run the ball, get to the 10 yard line and decide to call 3 passing plays, when Tua’s not having a good game. :pity:
There’s a right way to lose after you’re mathematically eliminated? Am I understanding you correctly?
If you get the number 1 overall draft pick, let's be honest here. You suck...suck BADLY! and no one player is going to make THAT big of a...

Going into yesterday's game, the Dolphins were 13 for 13 on 4th and goal to go so early in the game on 4th down, I was okay with the call to go...
I don’t see how you could say the play calling was “terrible”. Were there a few plays I wish McDaniel hadn’t called? Sure, especially those...
If they early, they get lost in the mystic of being in a foreign country and forget they’re there to play a game. If they go “late”, they are in...

Not multiple picks. Whether you're on board with Tua and his abilities or not, he's been a polarizing figure in the league. I can see a team...
This is going to be a massacre. I'm thinking somewhere along the lines of 48-13 type of massacre
I understand what you're saying but for myself personally, I don't want a head coach to have 100% control...and this is looking at things from the...
Well that’s why I had said whoever the Dolphins hire as GM, he needs to have 100% control…period…bottom line…full stop.
By hiring a head coach before hiring the GM, you essentially do the same thing to that GM that was done to McDaniel. “We want to hire you...

Here’s the thing. First off, let’s all hope and pray Ross is able to land a new GM from a winning organization. I’ve mentioned the Chiefs with...
Probably so however, consider this. We all know Grier considered the offensive line to be an afterthought while those of us who KNOW football know...

Where’s the defense? Are they still in the locker room?
That’s bullsh!t!!!!! Gordon slipped and fell, there was no illegal block there
Nice pass!
It’s over. I just knew the defense was going to fold like a cheap suit. Washington’s fumble setting the Ravens up for a quick easy touchdown…sighs.
Taj Washington’s first NFL reception resulting in a 1st down…and a turnover.
Dammit
Get the win first, then debate the quality of the team afterwards.
I don’t expect the Dolphins to win this one. With Lamar Jackson back in the lineup for the Ravens, he becomes a threat with his running ability...
I don't think anyone believes the Dolphins are on a "good trajectory" as you put it. I believe all some of us are saying is what we saw on Sunday...

The Dolphins have been such an utter disappointment this season and the lack of action by Ross has just sucked the joy out of the game for me this...
Recap with DouglieDoWrong. He ain’t lying, that’s for sure![MEDIA]
I’ll post the link later if I can find it but here’s a very interesting fact about Chris Grier… Since becoming the GM in 2016, he has spent $850...
Such a simplistic nonsensical viewpoint. Who choked and let a below average team run all over them, but somehow had the time to rehearse their 2...
Those who watched the game and posted in the game day thread all complained about the same thing, the defense. Only in a post game, emotionally...
Nor Grier
WTF?????
Wait, you mean we’re supposed to block???
Surprising we haven’t been able to run effectively to the “strong@‘side of our OL. I know we have to keep running it but maybe try up the middle?...
Glad the defense rehearsed those celebrations. :pity:
I was EXTREMELY skeptical of the Waller signing. Cutting me a slice of humble pie right now.
That’s my point. Had they been playing lights out all season, o I get it. You’re good, you’re making great plays, you’re cocky and wanting to show...
Listen, I don’t mean to sound like a negative Nancy. This defense has been so terrible this season that their extravagant celebration just rubbed...
Yea, but Young DROPPED the ball. It’s not like it was a strip sack. Young simply panicked and Chubb was there to fall on it. Besides… Our defense...
Well our defense is terrible, they get a GIFT in a fumble by Young and the whole defense runs to the endzone to show their collective a$$e$...
We have to have the worst defense in the league. 3rd and LONG and we let them convert.
Jonah got burned horribly.
[MEDIA]Here’s another film breakdown. I like how the offensive line is focused on.
It was horrible.
You gotta be sh!tting me!!!! Did you see some of the names on that list…and they’re NOT in the Hall of Fame??? Jack Kemp, Don Meredith, Roger...
Dak Prescott’s ankle/foot was pretty gruesome as well but I don’t think I’ve seen an injury as gruesome as Hill’s since Joe Thiesmann.
[MEDIA] Not a breakdown of the entire game but breakdown of what went right and wrong. The defense gets slashed in this breakdown.
Wasn’t he our first pick in that particular draft? Maybe Fangio wasn’t the problem with Smith. Smith himself was the problem.
I can’t help but feel this is a career ending injury and that’s too bad. He was electrifying to watch on the field but ya never know… Wasn’t it...

Tua, 17/26, 177 yards, 2 TDs 114.92 passer rating. Achane, 20 Att, 99 yards, 1TD Waller, 3/4, 27 yards 2 TDS Defense, 3 takeaways and 2 sacks...
Just when the defense looked as if they woke up, they got complacent
Can we please kick Borom off the planet?
Has McDaniel even won a challenge?
Great catch by Waller. Tua put it where only he could get it. That was a great drive, 96 yards and a touchdown. It’s about time Miami’s offense...
Nice pass Tua!
Wow, how freaking lucky can you get? 1st takeaway of the season
This defense is utterly horrible. The Jets are running right down our throats
Being winless seems to bring out some head scratching points of view. While I try to be respectful of others' points of view, I don't understand...
Tex, the defense has been so terrible that the offense has to be PERFECT on every possession. That’s not possible. No one can realistically expect...
He was a beast at getting g to the quarterback. I can’t understand why they’re dropping him back in pass coverage so often. It literally makes no...
Well the thing with Sieler being double teamed all of the time where’s the rest of the defense? Good God Almighty, we blitz the 2nd most in the...
While Tua and the offense in general has played poorly so far this season, it’s the defense that causes me even more concern. I just posted a...
[MEDIA]It’s not that long of a video but it’s a GOOD breakdown on why the Dolphins defense has been struggling. Bottom line, Seiler’s not having...
Until Ross fires Grier, we will never have a clean slate rebuild.
If we lose to the Jets… It’s already panic mode in Miami, but if we lose to the Jets and start the season 0-4, we are TRULY screwed. Ross won’t...
Wallet hasn’t played a single game since the 2023 season. If he doesn’t play Monday night against the Jets, just cut him already. Another one of...
Imagine if you will, wiping your butt with your right hand…all of your life. Day in and day out when it came to wiping, Mr Rightie was there to do...
Well, if I were a GM, I’d love to have the opportunity to prove the critics wrong but as I am a peon fan like the rest of us, this is all...
That is doing it backwards, which is why the Dolphins have been stuck in mediocrity for decades. You don’t find a quarterback you can build a team...
It's like I have said for years...YEARS. Offensively you HAVE to have balance. I remember all of the discussions about Tannehill and yet, what...
This is absolutely true! While every quarterback, every team every fan LOVES incredible wide receivers…Stallworth and Swann, Duper and Clayton,...
I wasn't defending Tua, not one bit. I was being more critical of the defense, not being able to stop Daniel Jones and the Colts ONCE...not a...
Gotta give credit to Bernard for that interception MORE than placing fault on Tua. Let me explain please. Week 2 against the Patriots, the...
Exhaulted didn’t call you a troll. He merely pointed out the Colts scored on every one of their possessions and the game was nowhere near within...
Well since I started this, I suppose I need to state what I would do. First off, I would take a single page out of Grier’s playbook. I’m...
Let’s indulge ourselves in a little hypothetical. Steven Ross has fired Chris Grier and YOU have been hired as the new General Manager. He’s...
With a different quarterback…a starting caliber quarterback, MAYBE we would have won against the Patriots, but we still would have lost to...
NOT with THIS team
When discussions get all wrapped around quarterbacks, the big picture of complete team play gets lost. The Philadelphia Eagles are the current...
Brad, our defense is giving up 370 yards per game and has allowed 11 touchdowns and 97 points…in only 3 games!!! If anyone thinks a different...
Asking if we need a new quarterback is the wrong question. I agree with Bumrush, something is off this year with Tua. Was he a flash of lightening...
With 3 minutes left and and how well you’ve been running the ball, why are you throwing on 1st down?
That’s going to be THE play that costs us the game.
This is a MUST STOP for the defense.
Why would you drop Seiler back in coverage? Stupid
Those dammed bubble screens
Nice play by Butler
Yea, I’m still not confident in a win. Hopeful, but no where near confident. I just of the efense finally becomes the DEFENSE and the offense...
If you mean being outplayed on the efensive side of the ball, I agree 100%. Offensively, other than those 2 WTF 3 and outs, offense hasn’t played...
And go right to a swing pass for a loss.
Amazing what happens when you run the ball.
Too little, too late. Another Bills drive resulting in points. Wow, I take that back. Talk about luck!
First Drive: pass, run, pass, pass, run, pass, run, run, run, pass run. Second drive: Pass, run, run Third drive: Pass, pass, pass I see a trend...
Someone’s losing their job after tonight. I think we all know who I want that to be. Maybe firing Grier will send a message to the coaching...
And I have some oceanfront property in Arizona I’ll sell ya!
I hear you, but where’s Phillips, Chubb and Grant?
I’m not exonerating Weaver one bit, but this lack of talent on defense is all on Chris Grier.
Well, that sucked. March down the field on the opening drive, get a little too comfy and go 3 and out on the next. It would be nice if the...
All this talk about firing McDaniel…need to fire Weaver. But then again, I suppose Weaver can only work with what Grier has given him.
The our efense is playing, the offense is going to have to score on every drive. We definitely have no D tonight
That’s not necessarily true. I spoke of it earlier. When you have decent running backs and you completely abandon the running game, you’re not...
The team is going to Ross’ 2 daughters.
I’m sure McDaniel is already reaching out to San Francisco to reunite with Shannahan.
This is something about McDaniel that has really gotten on my nerves. While there is no doubt he developed an innovative offense, sooner or later,...
The answer to all of your questions lie with one man-Chris Grier.
Please don't make me defend Tua, not with us having such a sh!tty season but there is more than enough of a sample pool to indicate that it's not...
If we're going to blow it all up and start anew, the VERY first step is fire Grier. I don't want him having ANY influence on ANY future decisions...
I agree, Grier has the be gone. He can't leave the Dolphins organization fast enough
I'm not defending Tua. Was he a part of the reason we lost? Absolutely! That interception hurt badly, but as I also said the right side of the...
Tua was under pressure from the right side of the line…his blind side all game long. He didn’t play THAT badly.
If anyone is fired, it’ll be after Thursday’s game in Buffalo
Naw, the offensive line isn’t THAT important. The right side of the OL SUCKS!
Ball game
You have got to be sh!tting me
Awesome!!!
HOLY SH!T, Miami’s first defensive stop of the season!!!!!
Ok defense, we have the lead…WAKE THE FOOK UP!!
And folks have called for McDaniel’s firing and giving Weaver a shot? His defense has allowed a score on EVERY possession this season. I’m at...
Crap, is nflbite not working anymore? Anyone have a site I can watch the game on?
:pity:
It may be old school thinking, but games are won and lost in the trenches.
For me Key, after last week's embarrassing loss to the Colts, it's not a "win" I'm looking for. I need to see dominance. I need to see dominance...
As I've said in another thread, before you fire McDaniel, fire Grier. This is HIS team that he assembled.
Like you, I like(d) Tua but at the time, our team had (and still has) so many holes that I didn’t want to draft Tua. I didn’t believe any...
Sorry, I know how challenging it is to run the weekly Pick ‘Em. Took up a lot of time last year.
We’re all still feeling the sting from Miami’s opening day fiasco. In all of my 50 years of watching the Dolphins play have I heard for heads to...
Since the firing of Dave Wannstedt, look at what all of our head coaches have had in common and that in itself tells you all you need to know...
Just finished watching the game on DVR. I never judge a season on the first game but this was an utter embarrassment! The offense couldn't move...
Well, it looks like my wish is coming true. I instantly fell in love with Gordon’s play seeing him against the Bears in preseason. I have HIGH...
The league doesn't even need to go that radical in realignment. There has to be an NFC South division, so simply move Miami from the East to the...
Last night's game is the reason I stated in the other thread that the starters SHOULD have played last night. It doesn't matter how good you are...
With the reduction in the number of preseason games from 6 to 4 and now to 3, it does pose a dilemma in determining who should and who should and...
Had to take a break from the boards for a while, as it looks like many did. The season ended with way too much rancor. Hopefully this season won’t...

Perhaps not but the point stands…the Chiefs have been to the last 3 Super Bowls; 5 out of the last 7 and have 3 Lombardi trophies. Anyone who...
And here we go, another Tua argument, thread
Congratulations to the Eagles! It just broken on X, Taylor Swift has broken up with Travis Kelce
Well KC at least avoided losing the Super Bowl with the least fewest points scored.
That Chiefs sideline looks utterly defeated
I’m starting to look like a genius :sidelol:
For those who follow stats, with Philadelphia scoring first, they have a 64% chance of winning the game.
That was funny!
And at 5:39pm EST, we’ve already had our first Taylor Swift sighting. I should have started a poll on that :lol:
I’ve never…NEVER understood team fans whose conduct devolves to hooliganism. If these Minnesota fans lived in Philadelphia, they’d be Eagles fans...
