I Didn’t Get Caught.....

Harleydude666Forum VeteranOPup in the hype, although I was hopeful. We are the same ole Fins and nothing has changed. All this speed at the WR is overrated without trick plays, these guys are NEVER OPEN in our traditional offensive sets. They’re useless unless we can score on the trick plays every week.
Defense is nothing special at all. No pressure and no sacks on Brady so far and as far as I’m concerned a lack of sacks since the season started. The middle of our D field is always wide open and no one especially McDonald likes to tackle, only shoulder bumps.
Gase is so frustrating. I hate to complain about play calling because as fans none of us are experts but what the hell is the fascination with Gore in our first halves??? We have a speedy RB who’s 23 years old for Christ sake.
Thill is a nice QB, but let’s face it, all the planets need to be aligned for him to have success. He’s never gonna put everyone on his back and force a victory.
And Fuck Burke, he’s pedestrian at best at making defensive adjustments.
DestroyerForum VeteranWell said. Team is awful. The loss to Bengals will put New England in first were they belong.
The Dolphins are the softest team in the NFL. Tua hater starting 12/11/22.

What a loser mentality. You must have been picked last in kickball all the time.

And yeah the way the Bengals are playing weekly especially on the road against the Falcons today I can’t see us winning that one on the road either. Bengals are better this year than I thought they’d be.
I wrote before the season that this was a 6-7 win team. While I was hoping I would be wrong, the fact is that this team just isn’t very good. They got to 3-0 by beating a Titans team which lost their starting QB, their best receiver and their staring tackles.
The Jets are a bad football team and therefore a very mediocre Dolphin team was able to beat this terrible team. The Raiders are another bad team who had to travel across the country and the Dolphins were able to hold on for a close win over the bad Raiders team.
I still don’t see this team winning more than 6-7 games this year. They have a lack of talent throughout the roster and Tannehill continues to show that when he goes up against a quality opponent, he just isn’t capable of getting the job done.
It will take at least two more drafts with a new front office and a new QB before this team will
be a legitimate playoff contender, IMO.

I’ve been on the Thill bandwagon from the start but you know what, you are correct, he doesn’t beat good defenses or teams, he looks very average to poor. Hate to say it but I think we should move on from him after the season

The Dolphins are a loser franchise. Why wouldn’t their fans adopt that mentality over time?

The Bears are killing the Bucs and the Dolphins play the Bears the week after they play the Bengals.
3-3 after the first six games is looking very possible right now.

You said it was a 4-6 win team in the 2018 Miami Dolphins Season Prediction Thread:

We got totally outplayed today but we're still 3-1 so I think we'll end up with more than 6 wins. I actually predicted 6-8 wins. Hope I'm wrong and we win more but today was a total crap-fest so who knows. Gase has got to do better than this.

I stand corrected, I thought I had predicted 6-7 wins but I have no problems accepting that my original prediction was the 4-6 wins you correctly posted. At this point though, I have no problem
with sticking to my 4-6 win prediction.
I think right now 2 or 3 wins the rest of the season is about the best we can hope for from this very mediocre team.

Why don't you go smash your face off of something!
Well.. if that's the last we see of Tannehill (in this game), here are some stats to record (have to record the bad ones with the good ones).
Worst loss of Tannehill's career point differential wise was a 3-37 loss against Tennessee in his rookie year: -34 point differential. So this game is actually the worst ever for him from the point of view of that stat. Passer rating wise his 47.9 rating would be his 6th worst ever.

I have no doubt I have been a Dolphin supporter far longer than you have been. Since I was a season ticket holder for over 40 years before moving to Maui. You obviously are satisfied with
an organization that has no real direction from the top and seem quite happy to settle for mediocrity.
I admit I am spoiled because I actually remember when the Dolphins were a relevant football team in the NFL. My hope is that eventually we will have a front office and a coaching staff who actually know how to put a consistent winner on the field and one which can actually beat the better teams in this league.
If my views regarding the Dolphins organization at this time bother you, frankly I don’t give a damn. I just want a quality football team in Miami for a change and I refuse to settle for less.
ExplosionsInDaSkyForum VeteranNot gonna say I didn't see this coming. In fact....I expected a loss. What I didn't want was a brutalized thrashing of our souls today and that is exactly what happened. Where the HELL is Kenyan Drake these days? Why haven't we gotten him the ball in space? This loss is on the coaching. Horrible job by Gase not putting us in a better position against a team that is resilient and smart and well coached. Gase got his ass handed to him today. Anyway....I did expect a loss, but I said...On this forum....that if we got blown the hell out I was going to be pissed. Yes....This team is fools gold at the moment. We have a better chance against the Bengals next week, but i'm already going to panic.
Surfs Up 99Forum VeteranI am as disappointed as the rest of you. However, this is just one game. I am willing to wait and see how we respond to this ass whipping before I decide our season is over or not. It’s gut check time. Do we have the ability and team depth to overcome?
Leadership isn't getting people to line up behind you; it is getting them to join you.

No, sadly this game WAS the gut check time. How do you compare versus what has been the best team in your division for decades? Do you rise up to the challenge as coaches and players? Or do you fail to game plan properly? Fail to adjust during the game? Fail to execute as players? Do we have the quality depth that will allow players to step up when needed?
All those questions got answered today. I don't like the answers, but the message is loud and clear.
A terrible play call, terribly executed.

I like your optimism but how many times have you said "its just one game" regarding this team?

Actually, I am not counting, but I think that was it so far this season. I am trying to take a different, more calm, approach this week and trying not to overreact like I have in weeks past.

rewardsvtForum VeteranGase needs to give up the play calling it is horrendous! We can't make a screen pass for the life of us while the Patsies were getting 10+ a screen. 3rd and 17 we throw a 3 yard dud. Makes no sense.

Well, he used it once this season....you've used it three times. That's how I know we're 3 and 1.
Winning football games at any level comes down to winning in the trenches.

Well since you probably think we're going 15-1 now, I guess he won't have to say it again
I agree for the most part. Except drake. He is tip toeing if there isn’t s massive hole he’s useless. I would have. Preferred seeing more gore as he gets the yards there. This team will never win anything with Ryan Tannehill. He has zero situational awareness he’s a robot. He throws deep on third and 6 but not in early downs. He can’t move at all. For someone supposedly athletic he is a statue. He can’t attack down the field. This is the thirst ifdensive coordinator trying to hide tannehill With easy shirt passes. The league has caught on
