I think they are trying to just not admit the obvious with the painful possibility that Tannehill just isn't good enough. I can't say he's a bust but he's a guy that will hover around 80-85 QB rating. He's like a 70 rating QB from early 00s era. That just isn't enough. The good thing I'll say about this team is that the holes on the team are fixable. STs, injuries, and a few positions perhaps at LB and a S being out. That's not that bad. The biggest problem by far is the QB.
In today's game that's a bust.

To me the game changer was Moreno... if Moreno stays, we are more competitive...

It's not poor leadership. It's poor quarterbacking. How that isn't apparent to Dolphins fans by now is seriously concerning.
ST's had a huge hand in this loss, -13 pts...-13..pts
If I were Rizzi, I'd avoid pepperoni for the next week as the stomach upset it will cause will be epic

Waaay to inconsistent, Tannehill to me is floundering in the new system

I think it's probably time to start wondering if Mike Sherman's system was dumbed down to suit Tannehill's ability.

It's not the system Pads. He's just not a good enough QB.
I screamed at the TV when Philbin intentionally wasted 3 minutes and 3 timeouts. He doesn't play to win, he just plays not to lose big. There is absolutely no chance of making the playoffs with a gutless head coach.

There's a repeated pattern of this team embarrassing itself badly after any degree of success. If they win a bad game, it doesn't matter who or where they're playing, there is a very good chance they come out and misfire totally.

Tannehill is a far worse QB than Philbin is a head coach.

What you're describing is if like Joey Harrington had a stroke and multiple amputations.
He reminds me of a stronger armed Jay Fiedler without the moxie. Wait... Then again Fiedler could hit the deep ball to Chambers.
Bring this man back into the fold if you want some real leadership on this team.

First off, I'm pissed.
Just watched our Head Coach decide that a two minute drill with 3 timeouts is not worth trying to score on. So take that into account when reading this..
WE HAVE NO LEADERSHIP AT THE TOP.
Add Tannehill looking like a deer in headlights and I'm convinced that other than guys like Wake, and Moreno, this team lacks a leader with self-beleif, conviction, and relentlessness.
I'm not watching the rest of this game. I can't stomach it.
How bout you... you think we have true leadership on this team?
I'm trying VERY hard not to change his name to Phailbin...REALLY hard.
Brian Flores when asked about tanking: “Again, no we’re not (tanking). We’re going to try to win every game. I think that’s disrespectful to even say that.”
:rimshot:
You can't just tuck your tail 9 points down when you have 3 minutes, timeouts, and the ball.....that is just plain BULLSH*T...no excuse will suffice...self-defeating cowardice.

I was speechless and livid when Philbin did that......it was Cam Cameron like kind of idiotness.

Problem is they don't see the games, because their heads are so far in the ground.....well you get the picture.

From a pure talent standpoint, there is/was not much difference between Tannehill and Harrington. Harrington got beat to sh!t behind the Lions awful line and by the time we got him he was shell shocked.
Philbin is nowhere remotely close to as bad as you make him out to be. On some topics you are informative and interesting. When it comes to Philbin though you turn completely irrational.

Philbin is really that bad and people are coming around to the reality.
It's not really even a "leadership" skills thing when Philbin really doesn't have anything in the way of skills to recommend him.

For some reason Tannehill can hit Hartline deep but nobody else.
It is always the route Jaj, some routes THill can nail, others he just stinks at nailing.
Wallace was open deep, THill flubbed it, as per usual
LOL!!!! Yeah, this was on Philbin. LOL!!!
Joe Philbin has had questionable calls that should not be attributed to anyone but the head coach in both games.
Today was a great example heading into halftime with 2 minutes left. He made the call to run out the clock instead of using any of his three timeouts. They had good enough field position to try and get into field goal range. He was just a big fat ***** about it.

If you place this loss on Philbin, then you are being obtuse.

They're all running the same route tree. Tannehill hits the other guys no problem.
From sugar, too crap. Just like that.
Seriously, 2:21 left in the game and you've got all three timeouts. You're down 9-0.
You run the football three straight times without taking any of your timeouts. Oh but then you got a 1st down with those runs? Well, I guess we gotta run three more times.
I'm not even sure I have seen that with 2:21 left in an NFL game.
It was a total wuss move from a terrible head coach.
