We might just win this game. Here’s my thinking…..The past 2 seasons we’ve needed to win the last 2 games to get in the playoffs. Now that it’s impossible, when it doesn’t matter, they will likely finish strong just to piss me off.
Let’s Go Dolphins!



bat,
what it is? do some of the words i type not show up? i really dont get it? how else in english does one say. i agree tanny is part of the problem, but this team has more problems then just him. AND YES THE QB PLAY IS PART OF THE PROBLEM …..and some other areas are way bigger problems then the qb play. this team had the best qb ever and because of other problems couldnt go anywhere.
but ok fine, lets just all talk about the poor play of one area. here maybe this would help…..if we all just sat here and talked about the guys who play in front of tanny (they arent even good enough to be called linemen) i would be saying but the oline isnt the only problem. the qb play is poor too
Bat
The QB didn’t get us 5 wins, or the 9 losses either. This directionless group of average to below average 53 man squad did.
Tannehill is one of only 4 QBs in history to throw for over 3000 yds in each of his first four seasons. In spite of being the most sacked QB in the league in those same four seasons. He also set an NFL record for most consecutive completions in history. We should be able to build on that.
Bookman ..Nobody is suggesting that Hennehill should be the only one replaced. Why does anyone calling for him to be ousted have to name an alternative? I don’t see the same standard being applied to those who have rightly called for the heads of o-linemen or defensive players. I don’t really care who replaces Hennehill. I just want a scorched earth approach from Ross this off season …Let none survive..
Pig, so now Tanny is a full blown disaster? lol
Have you looked at the OL, the play calling, the coaching, the injuries, they defense & ST’s?
Naples, shitty QB’s don’t set NFL records for completions, C’mon now….lol 😉
“Big Ben with a chance to close out the win throws a dumb pick. Even the elite’s make stupid mistakes.”
Ah .. I was waiting for this ..The classic Hennehill defender tactic … Point out the shortcomings of another QB to deflect criticism of the anointed one .. Love it!

Steelers win….hot on the Jests tails for that last WC. Steelers final 2 games @ Ravens, @ Browns.
Jests final 2 games NE, @ Buffalo.

ok both work for me and make interesting reading
Bat
Be honest. If Tannehill threw the pick that Ben threw, would the Dolphins defense then hold Denver after the TO? If you say anything else but NO, you’re full of Bat-shit. lol
That’s how we lose games, but other teams win them. We can’t mistakes, anywhere, we’re just not good enough to overcome them.
Bat, why do you have to name an alternative? Because he is the target of most of the criticism on this board, yet I have yet to hear a solution or alternative. As Naples points out, he has done many good things…..find other players that have an equivalent performance.
I don’t have the figures this year, but Tannehill improved his QBR each year in the league. This year for the second year in row he has twice as many TD throws as INTs and has completed more than 60% of his passes.
Tannekills will say he’s a stat compiler, not a winner.
naples,
it doesnt matter what the stats show. tanny has not improved this year. the whole team has gotten worse this year and him too
I just don’t get this. This team is pathetic, but lets criticize or call for the replacement of one of the players that is actually doing the best he can under extreme pressure. Why not get rid of Landry also? he hasn’t led them to victories.
Did we win?!?!?
Bookman
The die is cast man. There are those who can’t see anything but the failures of the QB, when in reality, it’s been a systemic team failure in each and every case.
Exactly…..I like the term systemic failure
Chargers rushed for 140 which is the Avg allowed by our 32nd run D.
Chargers also passed for 302. That’s 442 yards of offense allowed on a Suh led defense.
SD hasn’t been able to do that for awhile. Glad our Defense could accommodate them.
Yes our Offense still had issues, but you look for a Suh led D to keep you in the game, hold them under 30 for crying out loud!!!
Randy
We won moving up a couple of slots in draft position
I’m not convinced the issue is with the players, even the ones who “suck”. I think they are better than what they are playing. We need good experienced coaches and coordinators. I just don’t know who would want to take on this kind of epic failure of a team.
There’s a successful pop group called One Direction. This team could be called No Direction
Herd, I could not agree more
Randy says:
December 20, 2015 at 8:04 pm
Did we win?!?!?
‘we’ didnt play
If everybody on the team played their position as well as Tannehill, setting records at the NFL level and erasing several of GOD Marino’s records AND NEVER MISSING A GAME due to injury, then we would not have had to endure such mediocrity. I believe that poor game planning and playbook design has hindered Tannehill’s chances to step across that threshold into star status. I wish he had engineered more game-winning drives, but anyone who has seen the plays being called can see how tiny his chance of success has been. Who is it in the OC room that thinks throwing a 3 yd pass on 3rd and 8 is a good idea? who runs the ball 3 times after the half? Who calls defensive time outs that allow desperate offenses to collect their wits and take away Tannehill’s victories? Whose D immediately gives up a TD after Miller runs it in from 97? … and on and on and on
good post….we’ve seen it happen with other teams.
This is another way of saying everybody else is the problem- we can judge their play but NOT Tannehill’s. It’s inherently flawed logic. With all due respect.
Well said Naples
“ignoring all the shortcomings of every part of the team just to point out the qb’s flaws.”
rob … Nobody does this. Everyone acknowledges that the entire team is deeply flawed, but Hennehill is the only one with his own staff of public defenders.
He has issues yes, that are compounded by a shitty offense & team around him. Hard to over come that as we’ve seen from many other top QB’s when their teams falter big time.
“Be honest. If Tannehill threw the pick that Ben threw, would the Dolphins defense then hold Denver after the TO? ”
Of course they wouldn’t. Neither the D or Hennehill will make a play when it matters.
Herd has a point about our team underachieving our talent. It’s that “Bellichek takes guys off the street and plugs them in the OL or WR or LB or DBs and keeps on wining.” We take first rounders, pro-bowlers, and high energy guys and keep on losing. We cut guys who become starters for other teams. Over and over and over.
Bat, only because he seems to be the only one who consistently takes a majority of the criticism.
I don’t understand why Fat concentrates so hard on one player when all of our players are failing and all of our coaches don’t know how to stop it.
Bookman … Hennehill has only started to get heat this season. I was all in with him until he hit the wall and started to regress this year. His issues are the same ones that dogged him in his rookie year. He tries hard and is a gamer, he has the physical tools, but he just does not have the football IQ to thrive in this league. He’s a smart kid, but a football doofus …IMO
Armando Salguero @ArmandoSalguero
Ryan Tannehill: “to play like that on both sides of the ball is unacceptable.”
Andrew Abramson ✔ @AbramsonPBP
Tannehill: I’m frustrated, upset, mad, angry… It’s unacceptable in every sense of the word.
Bat
That comment in and of itself is an admission that it’s a team failure. I think it’s completely unrealistic to expect the QB to rise above the poor game planning, play calling, and poor play by everyone else around him.
and also Fat, I do not only defend Tannehill. I also defend Landry, Miller, Ajayi, Rishard Matthews, and Reshad Jones. And the new punter and kicker. None are perfect but all are trying really hard.
In fact I disagree that our team has quit and does not have pride and is not trying their hardest. There is something wrong with our playbooks both on offense and defense and we also have a very very young team esp. at the skill positions on O and D. I think we are trying to win with multiple rookies on the field at the same time.
We should be calling be calling Suh “Suhliai”, if we’re going to call Tanny Hennehill. I think the team was better with Soliai now that I think about it.
Mike … Then in that case the entire team is excused as they are all surrounded by incompetence and failure. ..Glad we cleared that up ..When do the playoffs start? …lol
I even think Dallas Thomas is trying his best. I just think he either has stone feet or is slow mentally.
Bat, imagine what Belicheck, Bruce Arians, Pete Carroll, Kubiak, & other solid coaching staffs could do with that doofus Tannehill….SMH!
Mike … The team could have thrown a sack of potatoes on the field and gotten just as much of a contribution as they did from Suhlai …And the potatoes would not go offside nearly as often ..
GDP …Convert him to a WR most likely ….
See, that shows a definite negative bias. But to be expected Oh Lowly One. 😈
Bat
They’re not excused, they’re just not going to be good until we hire the correct staff to get this shit together. C’mon man, Joe Philbin? Dan Campbell? Zac Taylor? We fielded an O-line of Dallas Thomas at LT, Ulrick John at LG, Jamil Douglas at C, Billy Turner at RG, and Jason Fox at RT.
C’mon Bro – That’s a frightful as anything you’ve seen in your office down there. lol
Naples…Oh …So they all try very hard and don’t really quit, even when it looks like they do …Splendid! ..Participation trophies for everyone!
Fat — No, I do not think it looks like they have quit. They hustle to the ball, they hit hard, they score on late drives. I think they are not coached to be ahead of the opponent. They react. They take the punch and try to counter. They get surprised often. They seem to be suckers for every exotic package out there, and yet when they try to run anything exotic, it blows up in their faces. They do not play smart or well-prepared or well-disciplined. They are erratic and inconsistent and beat themselves. But they do fight hard.
I do not think San Diego has a better team than Miami. I think we got out-coached, and we ran into the emotional “last game at Qualcomm” BS. What I don’t understand is why we don’t have some sort of 12th man impetus going for us? Then again, I do believe we won the Titans and Texans games off that “new HC” energy. I think if we’d played Houston almost any other week we would have lost.
Mike … Ulrick John sounds like a GOT character ….
Try
Once again, it’s not everyone else’s fault, it’s that if everyone else on the team is playing poorly, why would you expect so much more from the QB, who in reality, is just a little behind the improvement he made last year?
I don’t expect anything, I just say that because everyone else is playing poorly does not mean that criticism of the qb is inaccurate or unwarranted.
Everyone acknowledges that the entire team is deeply flawed, but Hennehill is the only one with his own staff of public defenders.
i dont see that. i see one or two defend him. and even if so i dont care. i want to point fingers and talk about all the failures of this team but seems here most just want to point fingers at the qb and then when others say he is a problem but not the worst of the problems get labeled some kind of defender.
if i ever am in trouble i dont want you fuckers defending me.
yes your honor. ffr was wrong and he is a built guilty but can you look over here at this guy he is really guilty.
LOL @ Bat – Indeed. He played like Ned Stark, after he lost his head.
Goodnight my friends, tired of this discussion, although it was good see Bat on again. Be strong Dolfans, it gets worse!
Mike E:
It looks like I’m going to get one more chance to beat you. lol
Yes Herd, good luck! Just not too much good luck. 😉
It appears as if Home is Away
Herd,
love your avatar….very Christmassy…
Anyway … another inexplicable, inexcusable performance. Chances blown, good plays wasted, momentum squandered. I think this one ended Campbell’s chance at being HC next year.
I’ve defended Tanny sure, but I never said he was without blame or playing at probowl level.
As Mike E pointed out, how could you expect just about any QB to do well in such a poorly designed offense and bad OL play, bad defensive play, etc etc.
Tanny is pretty much a product of his surroundings.
If you’re in a sewer you’re bound to get some turds smeared on ya & smell like shit once in awhile.

I’m just evaluating Tanny on Tanny
And I think everyone else should do
OK, so he’s just slightly off statistically from last year, when just about every other unit is considerably worse than last year. How’s that?
Who cares about his stats
Goodnight!
Peace Mike, see ya for the blog debacle tomorrow….lol
So do we go after Hue Jackson or Adam Gace for HC next year?
I think Hue Jackson must be the top candidate
Or do we try to bring in Dabo Swinney or some other college coach?
There will bot be a recap tomorrow
But I did schedule a new Oddyssey
Its an artistic interpretation of the 2015 Dolphins season
“Tanny is pretty much a product of his surroundings.”
Why is this not true for every player on the field? Are they not all operating under the same circumstances?
Yeah but they are not Ryan Tannehill
Piggy …Here’s the song that best exemplifies the entire Dolphin organization

well cause no one listens to me. i have been saying that for weeks. ever part of this team sucks. you cant look at any part as a strength. yes, tanny does not make those around him better and those around tanny dont make him better. been saying that for weeks now but people just want to say you are defending tanny
Piggy … W’s or L’s are meaningless now for us as fans, and judging by the product on the field, for the players as well. Lazy uninspired bums going through the motions … just like when there’s a playoff spot at stake …
Tanny sucks for making those guys just go thru the motions….get us Johnny Football in here, stat.
Gee, I didn’t think I needed to put a vise versa about other players play on this team as being a product of bad surroundings.
Certainly you guys don’t think the OC & DC schemes are solid and guys like Tanny just suck no matter what coaching they have? LOL
GDP … Hennehill is included in the lazy uninspired bums category .. Although he did spring to life once the game was safely out of reach …as usual.
‘Although he did spring to life once the game was safely out of reach …as usual.’
bat,
i see that said a lot on here. about tanny and doing something late in the game when it is out of hand. this is by no means a defense of him, it is more me just saying who cares either way. more just saying that is part of football…..pretty much my dead grandmother can be put in at the end of a game and still rack up yards. this pretty much happens with every qb on every team. to me it doesnt even merit being mentioned no matter how you feel about the qb or a rb or an offense on whole. that garbage time stuff does not merit fan reaction
bat,
it is like giving the def credit for shutting a team out in the forth qtr when they gave up 48 points the first three. those stats and comments should never be mentioned by fans just ignored
rob … For someone who is not a Tanny defender, you coincidentally seem to take up for him at every opportunity. …or maybe it’s just me …lol
IF IT’s DECEMBER it must be time to fold and roll over!!! –GOOD FRANCHISES play their best when everything’s on the line.–WEAK FRANCHISES, like ROSS’s DOLPHINS, fold like an old piece of paper. I don’t know Miami’s won-lost record during December and January over the last 7 years. But I’d guess it’s a LOSING ONE!!
——————
FOR THE UMPTEENTH TIME, I’m calling for A COMPLETE OVERHAUL OF THIS FRANCHISE!!–Ross needs to fire EVERYONE from Tannenbaum and King Carl down to his policy maker in the ticket department!! I’d prefer someone who has won at the NFL level. PROBLEM with that is the fact such people likely WON’T WORK FOR STEVE ROSS, THE “CAREER KILLER!!” –SOO-O-O we are left with successful head coaches at the collegiate level whose teams run a pro-style offense. Art Briles and Bob Stoops are the type of head coaches I find interesting –NOT saying they are the best for this job. But both of them historically get the best out of their talent and HAVE THEIR TEAMS READY AND FOCUSSED TO PLAY FOOTBALL!! And I’m REAL SURE both of them will DEMAND a well-conditioned team from the get-go, something this Miami franchise has NOT HAD since Ross bought the team.
——————-
THINGS COULD GET UGLY this coming Sunday in Miami Gardens!! I guarantee there will be at LEAST ONE ANTI-STEVE ROSS SIGN!! NOT SURE IF THAT WILL WAKE-UP Ross’s moribund personality and his horrid relations with his season ticket base. But FAR FEWER RENEWALS certainly will get his attention. As will signs saying “Go Back to New York You Asshole!”
rob … The Tanneholics are constantly citing his stats, meaningless or otherwise, so they are certainly not being ignored.
It’s comical the lengths some will go to in defense of him. I don’t hate the guy. I certainly don’t think he is Henne- Henne was unathletic in comparison. I’m not convinced Tanne cannot be a good qb in a system that is designed to accentuate his skills. But the criticism he receives from some is fair and earned.

like i said before. i guess what i type doesnt post. i guess most the words dont appear. i dont want to say it is you, i will just guess it is some technical glitch. i cant help it if it never appears when i say he is part of the problem just not the only problem. but keep reading that as i am taking up for him. i just prefer to point fingers at the entire team not just one position.
Try … I don’t dislike him either and use Hennehill just to tweak the Tanneshills. I actually supported him until this year. Maybe he can be good under different circumstances, maybe not. We’ll see next year because we’re stuck with him. As you say, the criticism he has gotten this year is well deserved …some just can’t seem to accept that. ..But then I’m just a hater …lol
I know Bat- you’ve been consistent, and most of us know when you are serious and when you are tweaking someone. I know that your criticism of Tannehill does not mean you don’t also have some things about him you (may) like or that you are not likewise critical (in thought) of others on the team. But I think it’s fair to expect some things from someone who is paid to be a leader that you don’t expect from others.

i would like to agree with this. but if i did then someone will say i am defending him. i guess some just hate him so much they ignore others of us who say he is a part of the problem but if you dont only talk about him being the problem it doesn’t count
‘Maybe he can be good under different circumstances, maybe not.’
i dont have and illusions he can be good. he maybe get to average or slightly above but not good. thus why i keep saying over and over, something which you construed as me defending him, that they need to build a solid team around him. find some other aspect to make the team great. be it the o line of def. or what ever, i think we know tanny is never going to be great. and we know from years of experience trying to find a great qb is pretty damn difficult
rob … Please point out to me the next time someone posts that Tannehill is the only problem with this team. As far as I know, it’s never happened, so you’re tilting at windmills. Every criticism of Tannehill should not have to be accompanied by a disclaimer indicating that the rest of the organization sucks as well .. That is common knowledge.
rob .. The way the game is structured and officiated today, there is not another single area of a team that can be so great it can overcome average or worse QB play. It would take several areas of the team to excel for that to be realistic. It is more likely to stumble onto an above average QB than to hope to build a superior team to lift a poor QB. Tannehill is not so special that we need to hang onto him while trying to improve other areas of the team. …IMO
Exactly right- the game is officiated and the rules are such as to give the qb every advantage towards being successful. Marino would excel in today’s game, eclipsing his own records well before he retired. Tannehill would not have the oft-referred to “stats” he currently has were he to have played in Marino’s era.

while we are busy asking things to be pointed out, make sure to point out to me the next time you think i defend him.
and as far as ever criticism of him and blah blah blah. that seems to be the big thing with those that want to just complain about tanny
well we are all entitled to our own opinion, even if i did sell my soul to you years ago, i am still entitled to mine. and you are more then free to just bitch about him and no other part of the team, just like i am free to point out he isnt the only problem with the team and want to point out other flaws too. it is nothing more then making conversation. and if i find the tanny only finger pointing boring then i will push to talk about more things.
It is more likely to stumble onto an above average QB than to hope to build a superior team to lift a poor QB. Tannehill is not so special that we need to hang onto him while trying to improve other areas of the team. …IMO
ok when you say ‘more then likely’ how long does that take. cause it has been 15 years now and i am getting really tired of waiting for this team to stumble on an above average qb while ignoring all the other areas of fault on the team

bat,
i have no idea. and dont know if it is a team of all pros needed either. but i do know it has been 15 years or so of looking for a solid qb and they still are looking.
rob … When Tannehill overthrows a wide open receiver, I have yet to hear you comment “Dallas Thomas has to make a better throw there” … Your sarcasm in this area has a decidedly predictable theme.
ARMANDO is reporting that Mike Pouncey “likely is done for the season!”

But, hey, we’re just fine in the Offensive Line, right?? We don’t need to draft any O-Line players, right??
GIMPY Brandon Albert may play Sunday. WOW, THAT’s a relief, eh??
Citing stats is far from meaningless. It’s a measure of an individuals performance. There is no other way to quantify this without bias. Granted, it’s not the only way, but it’s the most scientific way.
To add, it’s far more accurate than just throwing meaningless opinions about how bad he is, when those opinions can’t be justified.
Your sarcasm in this area has a decidedly predictable theme.
wow really? mine does. and you coming here after the game and blaming tanny is such a surprising shock to everyone.
The bigger issue, FFR, is how did this collection of players get here in the first place??–WHO, ultimately, is responsible for this mess of a franchise?? I say it’s ROSS, who hired the GM’s, top advisors and Head Coaches who have run this franchise into the ground. –Replacing ANY single player WON’T solve the problem (as Chad Henne proved). Replacing Ross’s “DOOFUS BRIGADE” with quality people is what’s truly needed here. –Poor cooks prepare poor meals.

He’ll NEVER crack the 8-win plateau as long as ROSS’s “DOOFUS BRIGADE” is calling the shots.

We’re clearly in “look ahead” mode now. We benched Miller to play Ajayi, and we had Lippett on the field in the 2nd half too. I’m fine with that, I’ve been looking ahead to next season for weeks already
Friendly reply for “U” just up the page. Have a super Monday, Mike!
Goodnight OD – Peace to you my friend.
Mike …LOL …It’s been garbage time in Miami for many years now minus the aberration of 2008 .. The entire organization has become far too comfortable with mediocrity and failure. Only complete and utter devastation will suffice. Will we finally blow it up the right way? …Or will Ross half ass it again?
Just to illustrate that the QB performance doesn’t equate to W/L, Philip Rivers is having a better year statistically and the team is 4-10, and last year, the team was 9-7. It’s not all on the QB folks, it just isn’t.
You ‘shill’ wheeling out stats and excuses and misdirecting to other QB’s. I thought it was always about the QB, that the other 44 guys on gameday are just pawns that mean nothing to the outcome, but to only confound the average fairweather fan.
If MikeE gets to buy the team, I wanna be GM!
GDP .. Stafford plays for the Lions ..Their o-line has been just as bad if not worse than ours. They have no running game and other that Megatron really no playmakers, yet they have two playoff appearances in the last 5 years. Brees, Ryan and Rivers were also not leading super teams yet managed to get to the post season ..Only Hennehill needs perfect conditions to succeed.
Oh I see. Glad you got that figured out. I stand corrected then, thanks. 🙄
Bat
I hope for a total clean disinfection next season. Wipe out the entire disease, and leave nothing. I like Campbell, but he needs to go back to being an assistant. He’s over his head as a HC. Tannebaum needs to go, he’s no mastermind for success, and was a large part of overpaying for Suhliai. We need to stop being big spenders in FA, it’s a fools errand. The best franchises collect compensatory draft picks in the 3rd and 5th RD, while we go out annually and overpay for the most overpriced talent in the game.
Randy
Is that on your bucket list? Ba dum-bum!

Stafford also having a better year than last year, and yet the team was 11-5 last year, now they’re 4-10. Go figure
