Drying is the new crying. I'd love to see Preston step up, stay healthy, and make us forget completely about Parker this year. Odds say he just...
Ross dealing serious damage to the franchise. Hopefully Tua is the answer at QB, Miami won't have the extra draft picks to move around if they...
I can't be the ONLY ONE who thought this thread was about pumpdogs selling out and becoming a Jets fan? :couch:
I can get to 12-5 on the season, but either way a nice leap forward for the team. In the AFC 12 wins should be enough for the #1 seed; it will be...
A little rebranding from the Texans, to help move on from the Watson era. The Bengals enjoyed the spotlight from the Super Bowl run, so they...
Yeah, pairing Marino and Ricky together means the rest of the offense and even coaching can be carried by them. Marino $5 Hall of Famer...
My favorite game of the PS5 generation, though it is early.
Welcome to the club, Unlucky13! Hopefully Sony can meet demand later this year, I got my PS5 at launch and never thought most people would have...
Back yet again to No Man's Sky with the Outlaw and Leviathan expeditions. Stray is on my radar next month, but I am tempted to go back to...
With that insane guaranteed contract the Browns gave to Watson, they HAVE to move on from Baker after 2022. The only real question is if he is...
I wasn't the ONLY ONE who thought this was about brilliant use of the NFL cap by the Raiders, right?
Bottom two teams have to play a game, the winner gets the #1 pick. The Draft Bowl.
A pass rush specialist at this point, plus we need the depth. Unless the money is over $6 million a year, I like the signing.
I have Miami going 10-7. Week 1 Sep. 11, 2022, 1 p.m. Eastern New England Patriots at Miami Dolphins Week 2 Sep. 18, 2022, 1 p.m. Eastern...
Yep, with the schedule out, what are your initial thoughts about wins and losses? Week 1 Sep. 11, 2022, 1 p.m. Eastern New England Patriots at...
Well, let's not mistake incompetent prep for the NFL draft with mere confusion. :)
Huh, I don't know why I thought he was a Center. I guess they plan on bringing in a free agent for that, or a surprise cut.
Worth about... $140,000.00 unless it was Canadian money. :) Obviously, they thought he had interest from other teams and Miami wanted to be sure...
A speedy LB? Seems like a McDaniel type pick. I was thinking they'd go best OT left, but another project player on the OL is not really what...
It was an entertaining couple of minutes.
Miami is going full on RAMS MODE if they trade for Deebo. My issue is that Tua is unproven, and how he does will determine whether this team is...
Minimal interest, seeing what the other teams in the division do is the only reason to check in really. Even with Day Two, does anyone expect...
Mixing Cook in with a Hawaiian, eh?
Third year as an NFL QB, the OL should be at least AVERAGE, there are PLENTY of offensive weapons around him. Looking forward to Tua showing he...
A little more pass rush, even with Phillips getting better in his second year, would be welcome. Hopefully teams will be having to pass more to...
Finished HFW last week. While I thought it was very good overall, the cliffhanger ending was less satisfying than the end of HZD. On the other...
Terrible news. I was curious how much he'd push Trubisky for the starting QB spot. It's always worse to see someone so young die, so much life...
No one cares... until you become a NON-FUNCTIONAL alcoholic.
I'm sure there will be a punter upgrade, just a question of whether they'd spend a third rounder or move up in the fourth round to get Matt Araiza.
Ha! I actually like this idea. Punter is the one void on the team, and yeah a MLB upgrade would nice, but more of a luxury move at this point.
Good return, though disrespectful of Parker by Miami. You don't trade a guy you think is still good within your division.
They shouldn't, that's the point. :chuckle:
I like the idea of a ten minute OT quarter. Very difficult to run out the clock with one drive, and if you manage that, you deserve the win. In...
If the goal was to keep the defense of 2021 together? Then trading X would be a HUGE blow to that plan. I do think they'll offer him some...
Two years ago? Tempting. Brady might have one good season left in him, and then a season where his body finally fails him. I'd rather ride with...
The NFL has always wanted a soft cap. You then have the option to borrow from future money, and if the cap is rising, it's all good -until it...
A time when Miami had a great run game, a great defense, and... only the QB held the team back. Let's hope history DOES NOT repeat itself.
Very important if they need to move on from Tua next year. Also reasons to be concerned about this trade, but it's win now for the Phins so it...
To be fair, if it's two yard dump offs IN SPACE I'm good with those throws.
It was mostly in jest, but Parker would be the third or fourth read on most plays I think. He should have value in the red zone and goal line...
It's cute that you think Parker will manage to get on the field for more than a handful of games. :couch:
Paying $30 million per year for a WR now? Well, I guess the cap is going up and Miami just spent those future increases. Would anyone be...
Too much cost in picks and cap space. Grier must be watching the Rams Super Bowl over and over, thinking he can win that way.
10-7 and a 4-2 division record gets Miami into the playoffs over some 'better' teams in the AFCWest.
The tank is on, I believe Mariota can get the Falcons to the #1 spot!
That would be on the high side, given his history. What goes through the minds of a GM/coach when they face a situation of a talented player but...
Matt Ryan is the better QB for 2022, and the Colts are built to win now, so it makes sense. The upside for Baker is still in question. Age might...
The division records for a lot of these teams could be 3-3 or 4-2 at best. Miami getting to 10 wins and a 4-2 division record should serve them...
Baker and a couple first rounders for Watson? Rodgers no longer the highest paid QB? Insane. Hearing fully guaranteed 5 yr $230 million deal?
Franchise tag? Leaving all that money on the table and losing a year of play time that you'll NEVER get back? Plus months of Aaron Rodgers...
That applies to SO MANY teams this week! :)
Yeah, there are going to be some insane games played within that division this year. Just an amazing collection of talent on every team and the...
Not over yet. If we ended up with Fisher at LT and Collins at RT? To add to Connor at Guard? Way better OL, and even average would be a nice...
Depends on the money, every year there seems to be a bad deal by Miami. Still way better than what Brisket offered.
Plus, Miami is legally required to have a WR with the name 'Wilson'. ;)
I think this is a good gamble by Pittsburgh. He is at least better than anything they had on the roster, and maybe he plays at the high level he...
Is this part of a process to get him to the 49ers? Really annoyed he waffled on retirement.
So, you think Flowers would... blossom in this system under Boyer? Also, I agree that the defense is more about the group than being reliant on...
As a #4 WR, not too bad. Career average is 38 catches and 4 TDs a season. As a #2 or #3, not so great. I'll trust that McDaniel has a plan for...
Wouldn't the NFL be throwing Ross to the proverbial wolves by denying arbitration? Seems like it would speak volumes about how he is viewed by...
It's respectful to let him go early, and find the best team/deal he can for himself, rather than trying to get a late round pick and force him...
Seems like he might want to join Wilson in Denver for another Super Bowl run? He would be an excellent get for Miami though.
Hurts to watch him play?
Good deal for both sides really. If Gesicki thrives in the McDaniel offense, then you get a long-term deal done, but if not, you let him walk in...
Denver has another Super Bowl window, probably 2-3 years. This seems to be the pattern for them now; Bring in the older but still good-great vet...
Still a better bet than Will Fuller.
Total change from Flores. The results on the field are what really matter though, so being very likable only gets McDaniel so far. Still, he is...

Looking at the move, you can't say you... Lovett?
NOT when they are TRYING to lose it seems. :glare:
The stupid thing was giving him a second round tender to save a bit of cap space. The Pats jumped at the chance to hand him a 'poison pill'...
So, there was more hitting off the field then on it?
The over/under is 10.
Seems like Flo wanted to run it all himself, I really like that McDaniel sees value in having vet coaches to lean on; they know how to train guys...
Tell me you missed the winking emoji, without telling me you missed the winking emoji. :) I was just messing around, sorry for the confusion. I...
Correct me here, but the defense struggled as the team went to 1-7, right? Then Flo took over and went back to the aggressive Cover 0? So, what...
Cautious optimism with this move. Harbaugh would have brought in a veteran, proven staff and probably taken all the real power Grier has. He...
This is the EXACT post you made when Gase was hired. ;)
True, but getting an elite QB is a quick fix for a LOT of team problems. WRs just okay? The QB makes them better. Running game struggles? The...
Mildly surprised to not see an option for co-coaches and BOTH McDaniel and Moore being hired. :couch:
Good move for them, he knows how to work with a QB.
It was moved to Friday, so Miami had another day to create yet another embarrassing situation. Also, it's McDaniel, no 's'. We'll all struggle...

I will deny them. They guy got an endless series of breaks, rule changes, a cheating coach, and an incompetent division for decades. Still, I...
Fits that narrative. Green Bay could get a couple first rounders, a second, and a player or two in a trade with Denver.
Given the Saints are more than $70 million over the cap? In a perfect world, I'd love to see a trade for Payton and a handful of Saints players....
The easiest path forward is to keep Tua and give him a decent OL and running game. Learning a new offensive system is tough, as it affects both...
Hearing that Sean Payton told the Saints he is 'stepping away'. A trade would be needed, but a competent organization would.... Oh, yeah......
Chiefs Rams Not having to watch Brady is the real win here.
Why would Daboll want to compete with Josh Allen year-after-year by coming to Miami? Same deal with taking the job in Denver or Las Vegas -why...

It will be sad when we find out it was Waddle who said it. :couch:
The front office doesn't have to disclose if they did since he isn't with a team at the moment.
Depends on whether he saw Flores as the problem, or the combination of Flores, Ross and Grier. I'd prefer Pederson, but agree that both would...
A country band waiting to happen. Josh would be learning on the job, but I see potential for his second hire.

Round 1 Chiefs Bills Raiders Rams Cowboys Bucs
If you thought Miami was dysfunctional, the Giants are setting the standard. Not being as bad as the Giants is a really low bar though.
Yeah, they need offensive guidance in Chicago, with a young QB needing to develop. The idea of him landing in Houston with Watson, if Flores was...
It may have been said above and I missed it, but Tua could have been upset at the game plan? Lots of passing in bad weather AFTER no adjustments...
Rebuild inception.
So, you're saying that Naggy and Pace are available? Or maybe Zimmer and Spielman?
Flores was crippled going forward; he would never get NFL caliber coaches to fix the offense (mainly OC and OL coach) when he was clearly on his...
Did Hunter Long even play this year? It's a red flag that he was not ready to play at the NFL level and he has no experience to improve from this...
We swept the Pats and Jets this season, got swept by the Bills, but typing with an illness is tough.
Final score a bit deceptive, but I'll take it.
Well, if he can't throw it, at least he can run for a first down. That is pretty much game.
The offense is bad, the defense just isn't good enough to win without offensive help. Coaching is questionable as is the clock management. Time...
Dolphins falling apart late in the game.
Exactly how I feared it would go. Tua still comes up short in key moments.
Four minute offense time.
You still get competition for 2022, but nice kick Sanders!
He needs to tuck that football away when he runs, but it was a big play that was needed.
Playing not to lose. Saved by Pats mistake.
Good, now don't waste this opportunity, at least get a first down or two and give the defense a rest.
Now, we need the defense to get the ball right back, wear on that Pats defense.
Duke and Lindsay are so much better than what we had.
Burning timeouts early, good thing they won't be needed later, right?
This defense really struggles to stop a determined run game. Flores has built a good defense with a notable weakness. Too bad the offense is so...
Yeah, Tua should not be making really stupid decisions like that. Just toss it downfield and out of bounds near a WR. His mental game has been...
Pathetic tackling. How do you give that up?
Whelp, it would be nice, right?
This has started as the perfect game for Miami, the defense plays best from ahead, but the offense needs to move the ball and at least give them...
Yeah, it sounds like a home game for the Pats. Also hate to see them score so easily with the run. As long as Tua and the offense are moving the...
Tua getting a chance to show he can play in the elements. No cold really helps though.
This was the offense we needed to see last week. Still bitter about just missing out on the playoffs yet again.
The Miami pick should be higher due to strength of schedule, but I'm not certain how close those numbers are. I could see Miami picking one spot...
Caught a break with the bad call by the refs. Too bad Pat fans, deal with it.
Hard to have a better start to the game. No matter the circumstances, it's good to see the Pats losing.
Love the throwbacks, love the first drive. Now, if Tua and the offense would not disappear until the second half....
This game will leave an impact on the offseason. A blowout loss once again? You have to question if changing everything is a good idea. A close...
Yeah, if Fangio came in to be the DC for Harbaugh it would make sense. Getting the band back together that had a lot of success in San Fran....

Hovering around the middle of the pack? That means I am the true representative of the Miami Dolphins; being not very bad nor very good. :cry:
With the way things have played out, I don't see Ross changing his mind about wanting Watson. It's the quick fix mentality of a guy who is...
His offenses have been bad. Crippling the team bad. You can't excel in one area and fail in another and be a good-great head coach. That said,...
Game over. It was nice to have hope for this season, but it's back to the same old Dolphins. Changes need to happen this offseason, even Flores...
Not for long my friend....
Well, it comes down to the defense making a big play or this game is lost.
The OL is just so bad. We knew it would come back to haunt us. Sanders couldn't make up for the lost yardage, just failure all around today.
Miami may not be a playoff team, they are marginal at the moment, with little room for error. Part of that error could be dealing with bad...
So, a 23-13 Miami win you say?

He had a huge impact on the NFL and football videogames. I knew he was getting up there in age, so it was kinda expected, but still sad.
The Titans without Henry and WITH him are two different teams. Looks like he'll be back for their week 18 game or the Wildcard playoff round....
Stay away from the Saints players!! Miami risking COVID infection with these hugs!
Book wasn't on the right.... page offensively.
Not the only team, the Miami Dolphins are at the top of that list.
Run it from here on out. Just get this game over.
Tua does not have the speed. Should have slid and tried for the flag.
Not as bad as the phantom holding calls.
Keep running it. Yeah!!! Actually a pass though.
That looked like a fumble. Miami gets the flags. Nice.
Wow, Hollins makes another great play!! Game changer. Also PI.
Saints playing the short pass. This offense is really limited.
Tua needed to play it safe, but just throws it up for grabs.
True it was a 50/50 ball, but I still expect him to make it.
Bad play calls, bad kicking, giving the Saints every chance to get back in this.
No clear shot of it hitting the ground, have to stand.
Thank you Waddle.
Refs are gonna get the Saints a TD before the half.
Get this first down, then push for at least a FG try. You can't play like a 7 pt lead is safe.
Huge swing in momentum.
Except the score, yeah.
Bogus call.
Brisket needs to fall forward or stay off the field. They called that play like he was a mobile QB.
They went out and tried to find a Grant clone. Hate it.
Can't make those mistakes. The only way the Saints have a chance playing from behind is a turnover or two.
Really good start on defense. The Saints need to run it most every down and not trust the rookie.
According to the ESPN Playoff Machine, a Steelers loss and Miami win puts us in the #7 playoff spot? The Denver-Raider game won't affect that no...
The Cards suck, they faced a near-total replacement OL of the Colts and couldn't force any real mistakes from Wentz. Murray stayed in the pocket...
I think Grier plans to throw all that money at Fuller, to get him to play ONE game in 2022, so what is left to talk about? :couch:
A complete team will have the best odds of success, yeah, but combined with a better QB means a large margin of error when it comes to winning....
The Titans win tonight makes the Bills-Pats game even more important to Miami's chances. Knocking out the Pats in week 18 seems like the most...

Yeah, the Colts win versus the Pats combined with the Titans loss to the Steelers has opened up the division title in the AFC South. Beating the...
Fixed that for you. We could start with five new guys and not be worse off than this year. We don't have ONE guy on the OL that you can point to...
Not getting as much help as I'd hoped so far -but maybe that Titans game won't be as tough as most think? Miami just needs to keep winning and...
That is just crazy. Steelers and Titans was another surprise, an unwelcome one as I was sure Pittsburgh would be behind Miami after today.
Incomplete was the worst result there. Leave the Jets a timeout and time on the clock. Good thing it's the Jests.
Tua has not been great in this game, but with some run game the offense has done enough to win it. The defense needs to close this one out now.
Season-killing play there by Tua. Good thing he has time to make up for it by leading another TD drive.
You go for it here, play to win. But just QB sneak again... not whatever that was.
It should have been Hunt, but I'll take it! :clap:
Poor angles, poor tacking. Except you Brandon Jones.
Slow start, but hopefully a strong finish to this game. They took the Jets lightly and the bye-week halted the winning groove. Also, Lions...

Yeah, we won't get away with missing those kicks against the better teams like Titans and Pats. Mostly Pats.

I'll give you that, but Grier can't build a decent OL -and that is a fatal flow for a GM. He still needs to go and Miami can take their chances...
Fixed that for you.
Wilson only looks for the home run, he could have easily had that first down.
The competitive phase of this game is over. Nice to wrap things up early, an uncommon Dolphin thing.
Hopefully Sanders comes out of his slump soon. Felt like it was a 50/50 kick even from 46 yds. I have to say that it's easy to feel better...
Still a VERY expensive get. Being productive and the potential is there for deeper passes once the OL (if ever the OL) gets fixed. Compared to...

Okay, Tua can now close this game out with a five minute drive and at least a FG. As long as, you know, we don't see the Wildcat again.......
Now, the defense needs to get the ball right back and let's end this game with another score.
Weak roughing call, but I'll take it.
Miami still having a better day than the Bills, so far....
Can't miss the tackle.

Lions lock up the #1 pick! Miami still with a shot at the #2 pick for the Eagles though....
Jags win! Miami pulls out a win and the season feels a tad better. Oh, I'd still fire everyone though.
Wait, Jags winning against the Bills? Looks like they can just about run out the clock. Miami catches a break on the challenge.
Miami going soft zone now? The usual thing when it matters? Oh, that is worthy of a challenge.
Sorry, there are a few posters where that would be a legit comment. :)
You copy and pasted that from previous weeks/seasons, right?
What's going on with the Jags and Bills game? Ogbah with a gift sack, nice.
But... we can't pass either.
Put the game in the hands of Brisket? Yeah, solid plan.
Flores never saw a play he doesn't want to challenge, we won't need that timeout anyway, right?
We can still easily lose this game, the defense is back to looking lost.
Just incapable of stopping a team on third-and-long most of the time. It's amazing in a way.
A rookie season.... stretched over three years? Because he can't stay on the field?
Mysterious finger injury? Maybe Tua demanded a phone call from Ross before he'll play again?
Houston determined to show the world they are INDEED the worst team on this field today. Miami has hardly needed to do much to win this game with...
He's making bad daft picks and doing poor coaching on top of it all!! Tua is probably still pushing for a Watson trade!!

I think we have enough misery threads around here.
If it works, it was the right approach. Football is all about results. Also cool they got Denver paying most of his salary this year.
Forget draft picks, how much salary cap magic is going on here?
Did anyone expect Tua to lead another TD drive in that situation? I doubt it. Would it be expected from Allen though? Or Burrow? Or Herbert?...
Lead the team down the field for a TD. Would Rodgers manage that? Brady? Allen? Tua isn't that kind of player though, he lacks the physical...
Disrespectful by Buffalo, they just had to kneel a couple times.
Fumble didn't work, so Tua had to go with the INT instead. The kid gives you options, I'll admit that. Yeah, it was a pressure situation, Tua...
Flores needs to answer for this poor defensive performance. Tons of money spent to make it elite and it's pathetic instead. Only the Lions can...
Time for the vaunted Flores defense to step up? I know what I expect to see here. Please prove me wrong, Miami.....
Man, I'm gonna miss Gesicki when they let him walk next year....
It must be awesome to only have to play the short stuff on defense for Buffalo.
It would take a dysfunctional team/organization to make the trade for Watson, given all the needs Miami has. So, what makes you think it won't...
Maybe if Buffalo starts punting on third down.
Yeah, game over, the Bills score and easy 28+ points this half.
The insurmountable 7 point lead? I can't really disagree though.....
Defense waited to the second half to fall apart, so I guess that's improvement?
Tua looked fairly good against two bad teams, the Bills will show us how he does against top competition. I'm thinking a 44-17 loss. Not all on...
I think the Rams and Bucs are in that mix. Also with a 17 game season, I think another perfect season is just that much harder to pull off.
Actually he does, if you're an attractive female masseuse. That's kinda the problem....
Tua gets traded to the Jets? :chuckle: I'd be cool* with him going to the Saints though. It would be fun to see if he can become the next Drew...
Pretty easy pick to make this season. :ohmy:
Grab a seat, I've got some bad news for you....
I'd offer Howard and Parker for the Titan's first rounder. Sure it will be a late first, but it's time to move on from both of those players....
Arizona Atlanta Buffalo Chicago Cleveland Detroit Tennessee Cincinnati Los Angeles Los Angeles Jacksonville Denver Tampa Bay Vikings (just heard...
It peaked with 'Goff was finally the reason the Rams won a game...' but the whole thing is worth a watch.
There is a very real chance that a lot of players check out versus Buffalo. With no hope of winning the game, the season being over as far as...
Yeah, I expected Dolphins +17.5 or higher. On the other hand, the over/under on number of damaged ribs for Tua during this game is 4.
The new GM can decide what to do with Flores, they need to be given the option to fire him by Ross if they feel they can't work with him. I'm...
Fire Grier, find a new GM, let them decided what to do with Flores -which can wait till the end of the season if need be. Firing a coach with a...
The sooner you do it, the more time you have to consider who is available. Wait till the end of the season and you are scrambling and competing...
Who could Miami beat at this point? Maybe the Jets at home? The Giants? In year three, Miami will STRUGGLE to win five games on the season....
Well, you are dependent on building a good-great offense and defense around them. With less margin for error since they are not elite. That's...
Oh, I'd stick with Tua over a desperate trade for Watson, but I think it's time for people to be fired. Give Tua a good OL and a defense that can...
He was playing against one of the poorest defenses in the NFL, a team with a backup secondary and unable to stop the run. I see Tua as a game...
Was there any confidence in the defense here? It goes back to Tua with those turnovers. Even a single FG changes the dynamics of the end of this...
Can't stop the run, game over.
He left too many points on the field with those turnovers. Different ending to this game if we had 6 more points.
Now the defense just needs a stop.... Oh, no!
Redemption arc for Tua.
Feels like this game ends with a big pass to Pitts.
Was Waddle wide open on that play though? Just too many mistakes, with a team that has no margin for error.
Tua is fighting back, which is good, but he put this team in the hole to begin with.
See you next Sunday. :) :confused1: :pity:
Tua lost Miami this game. Watson's phone is ringing.....
Catch, fumble, but the refs won't change their call on the field.
Gesicki is one of the few bright spots on this team. I imagine they'll let him go, that's how Miami rolls.
Why is Preston taking up space on this team? Hurt or dropping passes, so why bother?
Tua still not reading the defense very well. That sack was so obvious. This team is even worse than I thought. I'd rather watch another rebuild...
You'll seldom see an easier drive than that. This team is going through the motions, Flores needs to snap them out of it right now or be shown...
Lack of arm strength, bad decisions with the ball, injury prone. Yeah, it's not a good look.
Extensions, so they have more time to correct their mistakes.
Dumb in any event; you get the TD you are still giving Atlanta plenty of time to score before the half. Now Atlanta getting the flag and chance...
Atlanta running with a backup secondary, why are we not taking some deep shots? I'd trade a 2yd run for a 40 yd catch. It's either a lack of...
Poor execution on Special Teams, no part of the team is solid and reliable. Hope Waddle is okay, maybe missing a week or two, but hopefully...
How the team plays -how much fight they have will tell us A LOT about whether they are responding to Flores or not. If they are just going...
It's hard not to give credence to these rumors when you believe that Grier and company are desperate enough to do a Watson trade if it means...
Cleveland Green Bay Tennessee Atlanta New England Carolina Baltimore Las Vegas Los Angeles Arizona Tampa Bay Indianapolis New Orleans It's a...
Leftwich: "Tua, that quick throwing motion is no good man, you gotta windmill the arm!"
Grier has NOTHING to lose by trading for Watson, no matter the cost. He has to grasp at straws to save his job, but won't have to deal with the...
Honestly, I think being injury prone will derail his career. Much like Chad Pennington, he just won't be available enough to build a team around....
Going against what was supposed to be the WORST team in the NFL? You have to temper any positives knowing they played a bad team, with a bad...
Believe me, I WANT to be wrong about Ross this time. I HOPE he cleans house and finds a good GM who brings in a good coach. History says things...
Looks pretty gray right now, but look at the record of firings by Ross... he has ALWAYS given the GM/coach extra time to clean up the mess and...
Ross may very well give Grier and Flores another year to get things right. Which means firing them in the middle of the 2022 season, as that is...
Just brutal. Grier needs to be gone today, and Flores can stay on to coach for his job the rest of the season. There is a VERY real chance Miami...
Tampa Miami Green Bay Detroit Indy Rams Kansas City Vikings Baltimore Cards Denver Dallas Pittsburg Buffalo
Gase was oblivious to his flaws and never tried to change. IF Flores can't step back and evaluate what is wrong then he needs to go.
I don't see Ross doing an in-season firing. He will give them the rest of the season to get Tua going and the OL patched. Well, it's Ross so...
I was impressed with what he did in 2019 and 2020. But with the draft bounty spent and various free agent moves done, it appears they got the...
I'm doubtful about building around Tua. Unless he comes back, plays well, and stays healthy? I am looking at other options. Which won't be easy...
Yeah, but with that top 5 pick we can.... Oh, yeah.... thanks Grier. :glare:
I predicted a 41-10 loss to the Bucs, but it looks like 51-17 at this point. The team just giving up is on Flores. Players should fear not...
The defense is a mess, has been for most of the year. I don't know what Flores changed, but the lack of effort is on full display today. I'd...
Please surprise me, Flores. I need to see a great plan on defense and an attacking offense from the first snap. If we do the same things we've...
Better than seeing him sign with the Bucs for vet minimum. Panthers are a borderline playoff team, and the fans can dream of a 2007 Giants-like...
At this point, the season rides on Tua coming back and playing well behind a revamped OL. The defense would be good enough with an offense...
Rams Falcons Vikings Saints Pats Bucs Packers Broncos Panthers Titans Chargers Raiders Cards Cowboys Bills Ravens For the record, I...
A lot of finger pointing in this thread..... just saying.....
Paragraphs are really nice, it makes a wall of text so much easier to read.
Thanks for a handful of electric moments Grant, but it was past time to part ways. As for this being an example to the rest of the team, well,...
That was my first thought. The Dolphins did a coin flip on a player's health and lost yet again.
That would be my guess. Lots of money made, some health issues, tired of losing.
Gase agrees with you. Flores is digging a big hole by allowing all the penalties, the bad playcalls, the OL shuffle, and letting Brissett stay on...
That doesn't matter to Grier, its about saving his job right now. If that means Watson, so be it. If Ross will buy into 'we need to develop Tua...
Grier might be putting a trade package together for Watson. Nothing to lose for Grier by giving up anything the Texans want for him, despite all...
Tua MIGHT be consistent going forward, but the OL is probably broken beyond repair for 2021. If Tua comes through, it could be a 7-10 season I...
Yeah, I'll come back to see what Tua does for a few games, but him getting hurt again is the likely result. Looks like a 4-13 season and I hope a...
Refs with the finishing move.
The kind of play a losing team makes, kicking that out of bounds when you're trying to force a three-and-out. And with that catch, this game is lost.
Go for it. Nice pass to Gesicki, the OL is so bad we can't punch it in with the run though.
It took them most of the game to figure out Gesicki and Parker are good weapons?
Flores needs to make a change at QB, just to show the team that performance matters. No excuses for losing to a weakened Colts team at home....
Get Brissett out of there. He just doesn't care. Flores has to act right now.
There needs to be some serious changes during the bye-week. Cut some dead weight like Wilson and Grant who is only valuable on special teams but...
Wait, are we talking about Watson now?
Tua can't turn it around unless the OL somehow improves by quite a bit. Grier whiffed on building the OL though and Tua isn't enough of an...
Increase the video speed to 1.25 and he talks at a normal pace. Interesting information and it really goes back to Ross betraying Sparano and...
It's probably Ross. He burned his reputation with most in league circles when he tried to to secretly hire Harbaugh while Sparano was still...
Jags vs Bengals Titans vs Jets Lions vs. Bears Colts vs Dolphins Browns vs. Vikings Washington vs Falcons Texans vs Bills Giants vs Saints Chiefs...
Well, you could argue Grier will waste those three picks anyway, so why not a sure (outside of that pesky legal/NFL trouble) thing instead?...
The damage is done, well beyond this season, by trading away our top 10 draft pick. It's critical to get Grier out of there before he destroys...
Bad play calls, right to the end.
I'd LOVE to see him ignore the headset and just wing it.
Well, the offense will get a chance here....
Yeah, scoring DESPITE the play calls!
Why go deep and score leaving the Raiders plenty of time to march down for a FG? You want to score with little time left on the clock.
