Miami at Green Bay - Game Day thread

Tua failed on this 4th and 1:

 

All good takes

 

the team is just too "soft" and it reflects the coach.
Best thing now will be to lose all the remaining games , get a decent draft pick position. Then fire McDaniel and Grier.

 

You know, that probably won’t happen…

 

Good game. The Dolphins battled as much as they could.

The Pack was for sure the more physical team. That was known already though. Punched the Dolphins in the mouth early, and they never recovered.

The Packers did take their foot off the gas a bit in the second half. Not sure if LaFleur didn't want to blow his buddy's team out or what. Needed to step on and snap their neck early in the 2nd half.

The officials were flag happy all night. Took at least 14 points off the board for the Pack. I think the Phins had 10 penalties as well.

McDaniel is a smart coach, but he thinks too much. The game passes him by, and before he knows it the game is over and it's another L. He looked frozen as well. The Dolphins are not a team equipped to play in the elements, that is for sure.

Also, the Dolphins are not going to win many games with 39 yards rushing, and losing the turnover battle.

It was a good season this year for the Phins. The FO will have ample time to plan what moves to make in the off-season. It's one good thing about the Dolphins season being over before the end of November.

Stay safe, we may see ya in another few years.

Can you? “22 vs 1 the entire night”

That’s your problem. You look past anything you don’t believe. You create a narrative before the season even starts and specifically look for things that prove your narrative while ignoring everything else. Confirmation bias is a sign of stupidity.

Only people who dislike Tua think he had a bad game last night and they base that on their biases and the fact that the Dolphins lost. If they had won last night people would be calling Tua a God.

No team can win when it’s “22 vs 1”.

 

Jason Garrett said it best, the Dolphins ARE NOT a physical team, they're small and fast. Conditions have to be perfect for them to play their style, in adverse conditions they are unable to grind it out. Grier and McD failed at building an effective football team.

 

"Absolutely horrific throws" lol. He missed 9 passes out of 47. He had one really bad pass on a 4th down to Achane, who for some reason is running post routes 20 yards down the field.

 

An 80% completion rate is horrible to Tua haters.

 

30-17, against a playoff team, in a game we need to win, is horrible.

That's the point.

 

Did anyone truly think this team was going to win last night.
This coach is terrible.Team is never ready to play when we're on the road against a real team.

 

As for Tua who the **** cares about his stats.
We scored 17 pts.Same **** everytime we play a good team.

 

That's not true. Tua has played well against good teams and in some cases won. This year: the 27-30 loss against Buffalo was a game where he played really well and we lost because of the defense. I agree he should have played better in the 1st half yesterday, but Tua is not the problem on this team. We have one of the better QBs in the NFL, and yes stats bear that out (he's now 3rd in passer rating this year, once again in the "elite" category).

This team just has trouble getting over the hump, and that's more on the coach than anything else. I bet Harbaugh (either one) with the exact same players would get us much better results. McD needs to learn how to make that happen. It's still early in his career so hopefully he can figure out.

 

Not disagreeing with you but to amplify…

I’ve said a gazillion times before, we have to be able to run the ball and the ONE IRREFUTABLE OBSTACLE to being able to be that physical team on offense has been the offensive line.

When it’s 20 degrees and you’re playing against a playoff caliber team in their home stadium, you need 1500 pounds of pure corn fed, mean and nasty, hay bale throwing, stampeding Brahma bull studs to move those defensive linemen the “F” out of the way and open lanes for your running backs.

The Miami Dolphins have 1500 pounds of McDonald’s fed, old and injured, video game playing, moseying donkeys who play when they feel like it.

It’s utterly criminal if you truly think about it. Could Tua have played better last night? The whole F’ing could have and should have but when you draft a pocket passing quarterback which Tua is…like Manning was…like Brady was…you build up the gawd dammed offensive line to protect that quarterback, like Indy and New England did.

As long as this offensive line is an afterthought in the eyes of the front office, it doesn’t matter who the head coach is, we’re only going so far.

On the defensive side of the ball, we weren’t able to get any pressure on Love. He had all day to sit back and slice the Dolphins apart. The tackling was an utter ABORTION!!!! Never have I seen so many missed tackles from a Dolphins team.

Until the 53 men on that roster develop a savage bloodlust to not only win but destroy their opponents and have the right personnel for said bloodlust, late November and December are going to be UGLY for the Dolphins north of the Mason Dixon line.

 

Right, I just don't get the fascination, other than, because we can't win a playoff game, people are desperate to have something to point to so they don't feel like it's a waste of time rooting for the Dolphins.

 

I agree. Everything you describe starts at the top. Owner, GM, HC. We currently have leadership that doesn't hold people accountable, and we have a GM who repeatedly says that he isn't concerned with the oline.

Grier has got to go. New GM needs to be able to pick his coach and QB. If be chooses to keep Tua and McDaniel, then so be it.

 

Agreed on the o-line, but the good franchises pick the right player for the system and coach them up, look at Green Bay’s o-line not a lot of high draft picks on there. In New England it was their o-line coach who worked wonders up there, he must have been one of the best all time. I read a fitting statement on the internet, we traded a perfect season for 50 years of mediocrity, something is always missing with us…

 

It's like we have been saying that Tua can't create on his own, and is more dependent on his surrounding players. Like this has been the crux of the whole argument.

 

McDaniels sucks at getting the team ready and prepared for big games.

 

On the other hand Tua sometimes takes all the credit. I think yesterday he was the least to blame but he was part of the early struggles that got us into a hole we couldn’t dig ourselves out of. I think he may be good enough if you surround him with good talent, you just need more than the Bills or Chiefs for instance, the bigger problem is, that this team is put together the wrong way…

 

Yes.
I didn't blame Tua but I don't give 3 ****s about his stats or anyone's when rhe season over because they suck against good teams

 

Exactly.No way to sugar coat ****!
Season is over.**** the the stats!

 

This team is built wrong.
They all need to go!!
Soft *** team!
