Philbin: "We are either going to stick together or not.... We don't have anyone to blame. There's nobody to blame."

Wow... Translation:
It feels like I'm losing the team and they don't want to play for me.
There's a good chance that I'll get fired, that's evident by my opening up the can of worms statement that "We are either going to stick together or not."
The main person to blame is me, but I don't want to point the finger at myself.
It sure seems that my a** is grass, I wonder how much longer I can coach a terrible team that is listless, underperforms and shows no sign of wanting to fight hard for me.
I hope that the team hasn't given up on me and the season, but it sure feels like it.

Well, in his defense, he's totally right.
They're are technically two options, lol. -
Excuse me, but F you Mr Philbin. We do have someone to blame and his name is Mr. Joe Philbin! If he can't have his team any more ready for a divisional home patch-up than that, he does not belong in an aqua and orange polo shirt.

We haven't been ready for a game all year. We commit stupid penalty after stupid penalty. Our game planning for the start of every game on both sides of the ball has been awful. The team makes mental mistakes and turns the ball over. All of these things point to coaching. Its not that hard to see what is going on.

51 games and a record of 24-27 and the team is regressing. I've seen enough and Philbin is not the answer for this team as its head coach. If Ross loves him so much, perhaps he can keep Philbin around to pick up all the paper and cups in the stadium after games. That is about the only place Philbin seems to excel.Canad-phin, Tin Indian and resnor like this. -

Philbin is the new version of Cam Cameron.

Easily the worst head coach in the NFL.

Timid and tentative .
There's little if any football attitude , swagger , emotion , aggressiveness from this team . What is on the field , what is shown , what we get should not be a surprise at this point . -
Is it any wonder that the line went downhill after they stopped all the sex dolls and sister ducking talk?
/s -
Yes, hence, NEW version. Joe clearly learned from Cam Cam, and took our owner to the cleaners for much longer.

At least Ted Ginn spearheaded a couple wins over division rivals. Torching Revis is a fond memory.

Im shocked Philbin didnt throw Tannehill under the bus like he did last year saying hes not sure who the starter is. When your job is on the line, like Pagano and Philbin, they usually throw someone under the bus..

pathetic

after a beat down like that, thats all the coach has to say? no wonder the team has given up on him

There's more than enough of a sample size at this point to see Philbin just dosen't have it. Most fans have been patient and given him the benefit of the doubt the past few years.
He's got enough talent on this roster for the team to at least be performing better than it is. They look unmotivated and unprepared. I don't think any players respect this guy. Gonna be a long year.number21, Phins Up Wins Up and jim1 like this. -

The first thing out of his mouth should have been an apology and full acceptance of the blame. Instead he says there is no one to blame. Sorry buddy, it's your job to win, YOU ARE TO BLAME!

He certainly is reeling, though. Not that he is in a great position now, but nothing prepares you for something like this. It's still early, but what a stinker yesterday. It was an embarrassment; to the fans, to the team.
Makes me wonder: did Suh really 'freelance' and is the team responding to a cover up? And I am not into conspiracy theories. But what exactly is going on?
From ALL accounts, this team was well prepared for a breakout year. Even the snippet of work in pre-season looked very good. And most of that stuff were plays that were for a specific purpose. I think the first drive against Carolina, they intentionally worked the left side of the field. It was a "we are going to do what we think needs work" kind of thing. And even then, save for a couple of things, the team looked good.
I sure as hell hope this wasn't false hope; on the media, on the team, and lastly, on the fans. What was the ongoing sentiment here? 6-0 to start the season??
This team better get to work. They better come out of London 2-2, and they better make a statement. Embarrassing all around. This team is better than this.djphinfan likes this. -
Coach Philbin, the Dolphins are a 69 yard punt return for a touchdown away from being 0-3...what does THAT say about YOUR leadership and coaching abilities?
We can't run, we can't pass
We can't stop the run, we can't stop the pass
It all most certainly falls on your shoulders. Something I learned and always held to heart in my career in the Army and that is the definition of military leadership
This team has no direction
This team has no motivationbran, Kud_II, PhinFan1968 and 1 other person like this.
