Yea ur right.Just sick of the condescending remarks made by someone who is 99 percent wrong all the time.If he was ever right right we would have won the last 5 SBs.
I am so mad I really tried to convince myself this team had a shot this year at a playoff win.
Boy was I wrong.

Don't forget the salary cap that doesn't matter LOL

What matters is that the season is over..
There is more than one reason and more than one person to blame.

Bad call, unlucky bounce, untimely injury. etc...

The end result is this team has squandered opportunities and it is time to look forward to next season.

again and again and again.

No you didn’t answer the question. I asked you what made the Dolphins a winning team. You didn’t answer. You referenced only the Dolphins record. That didn’t answer WHAT made them a winning team.

I can see a discussion with you on this topic will be an exercise in futility so I won’t bother wasting any more of our time.

Dude, YOUR position is the untenable one. The TEAM isn't better. Maybe the offense is better...but the overall team is getting the same results.

You want to color it as improvement, otherwise you have to admit that the team is not any better, McDaniel wasn't worth that extension, and the Dolphins aren't anywhere CLOSE to being effective in the playoffs, much less winning a Super Bowl.

You're basically playing semantics. It's pointless.

Every team that lost today scored less than 27 points, except the Jaguars who also scored 27 points.

Kansas City with the current god of football scores only 27 points against the Raiders.

Baltimore, with Lamar Jackson and King Henry only scored 24 points against the hapless Browns.

27 points was MORE than enough to win this game. The defense allowed the mediocre Cardinals to score 2 touchdowns and a field goal in the 2nd half after holding them to 1 TD and a FG the first half.

Point being, you can’t point to Tua nor the offense for this loss.

You enjoy watching shitty football? You enjoy watching the Dolphins get absolutely wrecked when they actually make the playoffs?

Stop being condescending. Pump is a fan of the Dolphins, and they suck. He has every right to complain, and you shouldn't shit on him for it.

They played pretty good on offense and scored every quarter last game. If the defense can actually tackle someone its a win and we don't see you on the board for another week.

If the offense didn't give up a safety and could actually make plays when it matters. You act like the offense didn't completely shit the bed.

?? The offense did not "completely **** the bed". How does one ever come away with that kind of narrative? They scored 27 points when the league average is 22.7, i.e., they increased the chance we win the game. Anytime you increase the chance of winning you do NOT "completely **** the bed" lol. Ludicrous take.

It is true of course they should have done better on that last drive so they're not completely blameless but your take is ludicrous.

Tua literally has to play a perfect game all the time in order for this team to win.

Did anyone really think the defense was going to come up with a big stop on that last drive? I knew it was over as soon as they got the ball. Same story for the last two decades.

Jaylen Wright needs to take the number one running back spot. Again only two carries. Achane might be their best receiver/player right now. Use Mostert at the goal line.

Jaylen Waddle is the most overrated wide receiver in the game right now.

Get Julian Hill off this team right now. Tua sets up a sick play for him inside the 10. Easy touchdown for another other player and he gets stripped from behind.

I miss Xavien Howard man, he would have at least three interceptions right now.

It would be so Miami Dolphins to finally beat Buffalo next week.

I made a post last week in the Club where I wrote, “I don’t trust this defense to stop a team from going down the field in the final minutes and kicking a last minute FG.”
And that’s exactly what happened.

I told my wife, three plays and they will be in field goal range. I think it was five plays. Totally predictable.

But they won't, there really isn't any accountability with this team.

Well there was quite a bit directed at me in several posts, so I’ll just address them all in one shot right here. Where to start? Tell you what, let’s start with Sunday’s game as we can tie it all together from there.

I had already said the only way the critics were going to be shut down would be for the Dolphins to decisively win, it couldn’t be a close game, even though I knew Tua coming back after being away for 5 weeks it wasn’t going to happen but, whatever.

The offense played well. Anyone who says otherwise is speaking pure emotion and you can’t argue feelings, you can argue only facts and the facts are this:

The Dolphins offense scored on 5 of their 7 drives. That’s a fact.

On their final drive leading to their game winning field goal, the Cardinals started on their own 11 yard line. That’s a fact.

The defense let the Cardinals convert a 2nd and 15 for a 1st down. That’s a fact.

An unproven Cam Smith was tasked to cover Harrison when it should have been Ramsey. That’s a fact.

The defense allowed the Cardinals a 5 minute drive that allowed them their game winning field goal. That’s a fact.

So for those of you pointing fingers at Tua, you’re not being factual. If you want to be factual offensively, point your fingers at Jonnu Smith who missed 2 separate passes from Tua m, right in his hands that would have converted and sustained the two drives in which we punted.

So for the drum beater of “Tua sucks, the offense sucks, the head coach sucks”, take a step back and look objectively All of you are being overly emotional. What truly sucks, and no one here will disagree is Chris Grier. He has to go and the sooner the better.

Now I’m skeptical about promoting from within. Any underling that would step into the GM job here would be fruit of the poisonous tree. Now I know we couldn’t lure a successful GM from a successful team to Miami now, but I bet we could lure an underling from Brett Veach’s staff. After all, I don’t think anyone would argue against the Chiefs’ sustained success.

All I know is the sooner Grier is out of here and a complete football is assembled here in Miami, the better life will be for Dolphins fans.

You have me confused with someone else. I have never called you a troll or a bad fan. Even when we had a disagreement I tried to apologize to you but you’re way to sensitive to even take that. And your fragility is on full display on your last post. People disappear when they win. And become WAY more vocal, 10x more when they lose. Take a chill pill. It’s just a message board. Some of you act like this is life and death.

I don’t believe I’ve ever called him a troll, either. So whomever he’s talking about must be his conscience. He’s probably made trolling posts, I think many of us have, but I don’t think he’s a fan of another team like some here most definitely are.

In fact, I believe I’ve always said candidly that he’s not a troll, but rather just overly emotional. Much like you wrote here. His gaslighting is getting old, however. He says one things, swears he never said it, then when the proof is shown that he did in fact say it, he claims that’s not what he meant. Lol

Once you graduate 3rd grade you can.

I made a statement much like this...

But that speaks volumes to Just how Shitty the team and the coaching is.

And why we need massive changes.

If you need "perfection" to have a shot at winning... You are doing something wrong.

If you need Perfection then you are failing at many things.

The play calling
the strategy
The depth
The talent around Tua
Overall talent on the roster.

Arizona is not a good football team.

We needed Perfection out of tua to have a shot to beat a crappy football team.

Say it for what it really is.

That is why McD and Grier both need to be shown the door.

Thank you

The accusation you were making was that I only post when they lose.

I'd put this one on the defense. My rule is if offense scores 17 or more they should win. We have two play makers on defense and both are Defensive linemen.

That's totally unfair to any defense. Average points per game is 22.7 and you're saying a team should win if the offense only scores 17+? Only historically elite defenses could even begin to deal with that. This isn't anywhere close to a realistic point of view.

Maybe, but I get his point and with the game against the Cardinals he’s right. We scored more than enough points to win that game.

So many times, an offense or a quarterback bears the weight of a loss. Sometimes you just can’t score enough points.

I can remember a game in which the quarterback threw for 448 yards and 6 touchdowns…and STILL lost. If you put up those kinds of stats and still lose, blame has to shift to the defense, like this past Sunday.

I agree. Fire Grier, bring in a new GM from outside with full autonomy to fire and hire (or keep) staff as he/she choses and purge the roster and HOPEFULLY IMPROVE THE FUCKING O LINE. Personally, I'd give McDaniel 2 years without Grier to see if we've been duped or if he is worth keeping around.

Pretty fair outlook and take on our situation.

Yeah that was a good assessment that they had in that video
