The problem I see is gases ego will be the problem that eventually gets him fired.How many times was the ball forced to julious thomas who looks like a basketball center on crack to prove he made the right choice in signing him.He couldn't see in training camp this guy had nothing left?hitman8 likes this. -
Disagree on Timmons. I thought he was one of our better players this year on D.
Hard to hate the Ajayi trade too and I don't think Drake would have developed the way he did if not for letting go of Ajayi. That trade will look better in a couple years I think.danmarino likes this. -

The real story/tragedy here is what the hell is wrong Leonte Carroo that he can't seem to become a viable 3rd or even 4th option at this point.ChrisKo likes this. -

There were time where players like Timmons and Cutler played really well.
I’m not going to give Tunsil a pass, but he’s no turnstile and will get it. I think it’s upstairs. Penalties and such are mental errors. He’s super talented and will only get better.
The Burke thing? Sure, I can see his gripe. This defense, more so than any Dolphin team I have seen in the past, feeds off what the offense does. There are some holes, for sure. But there are some bright spots. I think that player development is good. I’m pleased with how some of the drafted players are playing. The signing of veterans to fill holes has Tannebaum written all over it. That’s kind of his modus operandi. I’m not against signing vets, I just wish Miami paid less for them. I still like Kiko, and I still like Timmons. I like some of the younger guys, too.
The season sucked. But you don’t beat teams like Atlanta and New England and totally suck. The glue isn’t quite there yet. I don’t know if it’s coaching, etc. But this team has talent on the field and talent in coaching. Miami did deal with a lot, from having to play 16 games in a row to having the snort-gate thing. They also gave up a home game.
Offensively and defensively, this team has talent. We’re pretty good on STs. We’ll see next year how much Tannehill means to this team. I suspect it’s a whole lot, but I’m willing to wait and see. I’m not pleased with the season, but I understand how things happen. I just hope this staff, and the players, realize this as well.SocaCasualuk and eltos_lightfoot like this. -

It absolutely amazes me how impatient everyone has become. So many of you are prone to these ridiculous knee-jerk reactions and there's absolutely no basis for any of it.
Ross didn't hand over a frozen banana stand to Gase. He handed over huge failing enterprise. Guess what? It takes more than a couple years to fix a culture that's been on the decline for the better part of two decades. It's impossible to plug every hole at once, especially in today's NFL where the best case scenario is two steps forward, one and a half steps back.
- Promoting Burke to DC was NOT a bad decision. This is the ultimate knee-jerk reaction. The talent on our defense this year was horrible, and even our formerly good players are ageing poorly. Burke didn't tell our defense to miss tackles. He's a smart, young coach and having a guy like that is NEVER a bad decision.
- Jay Cutler was NOT a bad decision. We saw very clearly he is better than Matt Moore even at his worst. Tannehill getting hurt sucked, but there were not better options and Cutler was the devil Gase knew.
- Moving Tunsil was NOT a bad decision. Hyde is a complete moron for criticizing this move based purely on Tunsil's pre-snap penalties. He has enormous amounts of talent and it was a great move drafting a guy who was rated much higher than where we got him simply because everyone was scared of a little Mary Jane.
- Hyde seems to imply that the Dolphins are stupid for giving Philly the ammo necessary to grab Wentz. Well, by that token all 31 other teams are equally as stupid for not trading their entire draft for Wentz.
- Hyde also says that all of our decisions were bad, but then glosses over the fact that Hayes and Parkey were good adds, and the trade of Ajayi was freaking brilliant in hind sight given the fact that Drake is a stud.

"Let’s spin the wheel and start with promoting Matt Burke to defensive coordinator. The Dolphins gave up 23.7 points a game last year, invested heavily on the defense and got worse this year. They gave up 24.6 points a game. They dropped from 18th to 28th in the league in the heavyweight stat."
Wow I'm surprised that this is a big deal, you had one of Miami's worse D's in terms of yardage last year under the god awful VJ, who by the way has sunk the Donkies to a new low, then we took the leader of the worse unit on the D and made him DC, really what did you expect.
I agree we should have never given Kiko to that contract, he's been absolutely one of the worse LB'ers on this team. TD after TD have been his fault, but once again, he was never good but put a Dolphin uniform on him and some around here think he's the best...
Gas Mask should be playing LG, he's either too lazy or too stoned to put out the effort it takes to play LT.
Don't be too hard on Gase, you have to remember he made PM and JC...LOL, yea right
Good read on the article, why we are where we are.... -

The fans should be ashamed to expect anything more.
1.Burke coached one the worst lbs groups in the league last year.
2.I don't argue with the cutler signing.
3.Tunsil as hyde pointed out had lead high in presnap pentalies.All world like we were lead to believe so far not so much.I thought he played well at guard last year but hopefully he will improve at LT next year.
4.We were stupid as I pointed out when the trade went down.I didn't like maxwell or alonzo and the eagle fans around here laughed at me when it happended.Howie *****ed us.
5.Hayes was one of the best edge run defenders in the league and I really don't care about kickers but parkey was fine.
I do think drake is the better back.canesz06 likes this. -
Some Dolphins fans won’t even be alive next year but we are always told “have patience”....
Nah bro, patience went out the door back in ‘98. Win a ******* playoff game already. Get a franchise QB already. Hot ****. Tired of hearing the word “patience”. A girl once broke up with her man and I asked her out but she told me to have patience and we would go out on a date eventually, 4 months later she was pregnant in a committed relationship. Patience is for losers and those that have no plan. -

Burke was also the DC for our recent win over the scumbags from New England. We pounded Brady's face in all game. He couldn't get out of South Beach fast enough. So, who's responsible for that?Last edited: Dec 28, 2017aesop likes this. -

It's completely ridiculous to jump off the bridge because we had a bad season after such devastating injuries. If teams reacted that quickly after one bad season then Eli Manning wouldn't have two Super Bowl rings. You simply can not go into every season willing to fire everyone at the first sign of trouble. We are on the right track and we need to stop trying to light everything on fire every year.Puka-head, jdallen1222 and Fin D like this. -

That brings us to the real question- who gave Gase the darn bucket in the first place? Ross? Ireland? Philbin? I feel like we're really close to a breakthrough moment here...adamprez2003 likes this. -
If the NFL has zero fans, does it exist? How are the owners paying the players? Who is watching anyways? Think.... Think.... -
