Thank you Cara, you are lovely…

 

All right folks we’re 10 games in and alive for the playoffs while also being measured by the undertaker. Tank it or Kill it. If we tank it we get in the top 10 of the draft most likely, if we kill it we potentially win our division and host a playoff game. those are two options as you have already realized there is a third – the absurd third – we go 3-3 and maintain the status quo as usual.

I’m happy to watch it play out. This bye week has come at a great time to give us a chance to get healthy and identify areas that can be improved as we prepare for the season’s final six regular season games. There are a lot of things about this team that I like our young defense, our runningbacks, our young Tight End group,ar-181016652 our speedy receiving corp and that they figured that they need to keep Minkah on the field. The Defense suffered injuries on the line and it has affected the D as a whole, but its a very young Defense that flies to the ball. All I can do is wonder how they’d play with a lead or at least knowing our team is capable of scoring points. We have Frank Gore and Kenyon Drake that’s why I like our backs even though I do like Ballage as well. At TE we have the rookies along with Nicklaus O’Leary and AJ Derby I think its a good young group. I like the speed guys in our receiving group despite the injuries piling up, they get open and they block. Minkah is huge for us going forward I think its easy to see.

We struggle, oh boy do we struggle, to score points. If this team can find the magic elixir during this bye week we could be dangerous. If being the operative word there, like it always is. Of late, and I mean the last several years, the passing game has sucked, I blame almost everything that troubles the Dolphins on poor passing. I know, injuries and yes there are many, play calling, sacks and penalties despite a significant reduction this year and the Offensive line. All of those are mitigated by better passing such as not missing wide open receivers who have beaten everyone, uncatchable balls, wrong side of the receiver balls, missed reads for a wide open play. And I’m talking about the balls that have been thrown I realize especially this week our line can make for a rough pocket. I look around the league and it seems most teams run a similar offense and face the same pressure and good coverage that we do, the major difference that glares to me is good passing.

We need Touchdowns!

Best of luck to the Dolphins in the last 6 games of the 2018 season, I’ll be watching every one.

I’m a couple of days late but I want to thank this nation’s veterans for your service, with a special thanks to the guys in our group that have served. Never Forget.

Also a Happy Birthday  to

The United States Marine Corps

    ORob,
    As I’ve said, I’m still a little torn on Gase. I’m not opposed to keeping him, but it wouldn’t bug me that much if they didn’t. Tannehill is another story. He’s had more than enough time to show what he is
    _________________________________________

    The problem with that is Gase controls his roster and he has said Tannehill is his guy.

    and who the hell are you going to replace him with that would be a better fit in this current system?

    If you look at the league there are not that many good QBs, there are teams who’s #1 QB actually sucks, there are a lot of teams who would jump on Tannehill in a minute.
    even Chad Henne found a job as a back-up.
    it’s a talented QB starved league that’s why all these college QBs are taken early in the draft

    there may be this unicorn QB undiscovered out there who is the next Tom Brady but good luck finding him

    • Tim Knight's avatar Tim Knight says:

      Well if we blow it all up at least there will nobody to blame for awhile as we have multiple bad seasons in a row. Then we can just focus on the draft every year hoping that works out because we all know that’s a perfect science. And injuries won’t happen either so we’ll all be singing the Sound of Music as we dash across the fields of green. LOL

  4. ocalarob's avatar ocalarob says:

    I’m sure they will restructure tannehills deal, maybe another 3 years to clear cap space

  5. Randy's avatar Randy says:

    ORob,
    Gase is also the same guy who doesn’t conduct his rushing attack, and you have no problem saying you disagree with it. Gase having control of things isn’t the point or the debate. As you so often point out, you don’t think he is doing it right in the running game. I believe he could do better at picking what QB he plays. Who has control and makes decisions isn’t in question, but that never stops any of us from debating the logic or merit of those decisions. Lol
    ***
    I’m tired of mediocrity. It blows. We’ve basically had 2 decades of it. I have no problem trying to become something better. Finding a better QB wouldn’t be as difficult as you make it out to be. Tannehill is a middle of the road QB who scores about 1.5 TDs a game….nothing more. And now I’m gonna watch some hockey. The Wild actually win once in awhile.

    • ocalarob's avatar ocalarob says:

      I did disagree with it last year and all of last offseason after watching us run 10 times a game and watching Drake run into brick walls, but that has changed with the addition of Gore.

      Tannehill is a middle of the road QB now, he has had success under Gase, you should wait until he retires to totally judge him.

      I don’t see any quick fixes and if you’re in control of this teams roster and your job depends on you producing i cant see Gase replacing Tannehill.
      he will be under the gun to win next year and i highly doubt he’s going to jeopardize his job by depending on a rookie QB.

  6. ocalarob's avatar ocalarob says:

    the one thing about playing the qb position is you need time to develop your game and you also need time to get familiar with your recs and the system that you are in and this process takes time to acquire and get good at.

    everyone wants a QB savior but it’s just unrealistic, it doesn’t happen over night or for that matter over 1 year.

    Gase has his wagon hitched to Tannehill.

  7. ocalarob's avatar ocalarob says:

    you should also wait to judge this team, we are 5-5 with a mash unit, we get healthy and have a fairly good schedule ahead of us. this season isn’t over yet.

  8. Randy's avatar Randy says:

    First intermission. Wild up 2 goals!

    ***
    I said the same thing weeks ago, ORob, but that doesn’t make it the right decision. Tannehill will keep us hovering around 8 wins a year. An 8-8 season is in Gase’s best interest. Tannehill gives him that. Sadly, that appears to be good enough.

  18. ocalarob's avatar ocalarob says:

    on the other hand, Harbaugh has won every where he has coached. Harbaugh makes apprx 7 m per year at Michigan, his contract is up in 2021, it’s probably a much better job to be a college coach vs NFL and a lot more secure, Ross would probably have to give up a lot to get him but you never know so if gase doesn’t pull this team together in the near future?????

  19. Mike E.'s avatar Mike E. says:

    Bookman,

    The QB can’t win by himself, but there are so many more examples of teams with an average or less than average QB’s with poor records, and teams with its QB’s in The playoffs

    Get us a great QB, then we’ll take it from there

  20. ocalarob's avatar ocalarob says:

    it’s unbelievable that the Broncos spent a 1st rnd pick on Lynch and he’s currently unemployed!
    just goes to show that no matter where you draft a qb there’s no guarantees.

  21. ocalarob's avatar ocalarob says:

    I believe that Gase would rather work with veteran QBs than draft a rookie.

  22. Mike E.'s avatar Mike E. says:

    Rob – You know that’s not true. Drafting a rookie gives him at least a one year reprieve if not more, and he can still play his average veteran until the rookie is ready to start.

    • Mike E.'s avatar Mike E. says:

      It’s a WIN-WIN for Gase, he gets to play the anchor that potentially can drag him right out of the NFL, while the rookie savior can then come in later in the year and save his job

      • ocalarob's avatar ocalarob says:

        I doubt That’s the case, he will be on the hot seat next year to win due to his contract, Ross can dump him next year and only lose 2 to 3 mil if he has another losing season regardless of who he drafts. 3 losing seasons in a row will be his demise.
        a rookie will not be ready to play next year and you will deprive this team of depth they most desperately need especially on the OL by using resources to get that guy who won’t play.
        it doesn’t appear that he would even consider drafting a rookie, look at all the QBs he has now, did he draft a QB last year? that would have been a good time to do it if that’s what he thought was the right move. he’s looking at Paxton Lynch.
        that should tell you where his head is at in the QB position

  23. pheloniusphish's avatar pheloniusphish says:

    Miami couldn’t win a Super Bowl with Marino. It’s not about the QB. Tannehill is good enough if the team is well coached and games well planned. That’s where Miami’s issues are right now. Offense doesn’t have a philosophy that they stick with (watched Seattle pound the rock all night against Green Bay and win). Defense doesn’t seem to play to their players skill sets. QB is the least of Miami’s problems.

    • ocalarob's avatar ocalarob says:

      their philosophy is injured

    • Mike E.'s avatar Mike E. says:

      Wow Phelon. We had one of the the best teams in the NFL in our division, the Buffalo Bills who went to 4 straight SB’s. They had a great QB, AND a RB, AND a defense. Despite that, how many times were we in the playoffs with Marino? 10 years. How many playoff appearances with the anchor?

  24. Mike E.'s avatar Mike E. says:

    In 1990, we lost to the Bills in the Playoffs 44-34. 34 points against that Bills defense, the same defense that blew out the Raiders in the championship game 51-3. You think Tannehill could ever score 34 points in a playoff game? Let’s see Tannehill get us to the playoffs first before we find out the answer to that one.

  25. New Age's avatar New Age says:

    We got 99 problems but….longsnapper ain’t one of them.

    In all seriousness, Tannehill is a problem, not a solution. I look at the guys we draft and they are built for a high flying, explosive offense. Same for the FA guys. Wilson, Drake, Grant, Stills, Gesicki. These guys would look good in KC or NO. Drake can do what Kamara does. Wilson, Stills, Gesicki…they would all do very well in KC. These are the parts to a explosive offense…but we don’t have the QB talent to use them. Or possibly the coaching staff talented enough to use them. It’s one or the other because we weren’t explosive Games 1-5 either. I really liked our offense….game one in the first quarter. Since then, it’s kinda stunk.

    With this said, I have no problem with Gase or Tannehill coming back next year. After that point, he’s had his fair chance and then some. The pup didn’t bite, move on. If he has success, then good for both of them. Still draft that QB though. Tannehill is too fragile and mediocre. He’s never bit either.

    Oh, and we need to start training our draft picks better. We should be seeing a lot more draft picks playing outside of STs. Kansas City has Mit Schwartz, draft bust Fisher, and three nobodies protecting Mahomes and helping to lead a top 5 offense. They’ve also dealt with OL injuries but you wouldn’t know it by how Reid handles adversity. Kelce was drafted in the 3rd and has played extensively since then. Tyreek Hill was a 5th round pick who has played extensively since he was drafted. Mitch Morse, Kareem Hunt,, these are guys that they drafted and somehow Reid’s coaching staff found a way to play them and play them successfully.

    • D's avatar D says:

      Scary thing there New Age but you and i were on the same wave length i was just about to post a similar thing using that 99 problems line lol

      • D's avatar D says:

        Gase might want a vet, to be there while a rookie gets their feet, if i were him id do that if for nothing else but to buy myself another year. Id make sure that FO knew we needed a vet stand in. Id sign a guy like Fitzpatrick, Bridgewater, or some other decent to good guy, and i get him for under the 13mil cap saving we get for cutting Tanny and id move on and save the team money to use at another position.

  26. D's avatar D says:

    Tanny is not it.
    Draft a guy next year, we must.
    Gase is on thin ice.

    Kamara is great because he has Drew Brees throwing accurate passes to him, and they actually feed him plenty of touches. Put Kamara here, he’d probably be backing up Gore like Drake is. It makes my head spin

    • D's avatar D says:

      Part of that is Payton knows how to use his talent too. Its definately a sign of a great QB helping another good player be great, but its also the coaching and how they utilize the talent to the best of their ability. Like i was saying before, do you let a round peg be put in a round hole or do you arrogantly keep using that round peg like a square one.

  29. D's avatar D says:

    Its is exponentially easier to build around a good to great QB than cover for average an QB with a great team. Its simple math. You have to hit on one player that maximizes the rest of your player or hit on every other one to compensate for missing on one.

    • D's avatar D says:

      Look at all the teams out there that finally hit with their QB’s and are now looking like they will be in the superbowl hunt. How can you ignore those facts. Yeah you can miss when you pick your QB, but if you hit you turn your whole franchise around. Just look at how people draft, look at the premium put on that position, is the entire NFL just stupid or is there something to the fact that getting an elite QB helps a team so much that they are willing to sacrifice so much for it?

      • Mike E.'s avatar Mike E. says:

        It makes me angry that people somehow overlook that. If 10 teams make the playoffs, it’s usually the last 4 that have the top QB’s. Year in and year out. But we can do it with Tannehill and Gase

  30. D's avatar D says:

    I think you can look at the Paxton Lynch situation in a different way than you are thinking. I think you could also look at it as him getting some young guys who showed promise in college to be cheap alternatives to what we currently have.

    • D's avatar D says:

      I think it would be a good move to bring him in as well. That will give us 2 guys to start the year out next year as competition for the QB spot.

  31. The Flying Pig's avatar The Flying Pig says:

    If we drafted a qb in the 1st 2 rounds next year
    Signed Lynch and kept Falk
    And maybe sign a FA like bridgwater
    I would be happy about the QB situation in 2019
    It might lead us to a place where we need to draft a QB in 2020 as well

    But I think that’s okay

    And we can focus on OL and the pass rush as well

    • The Flying Pig's avatar The Flying Pig says:

      I just read something that says we are showing interests in Justin Herbert

      • Mike E.'s avatar Mike E. says:

        We’ll probably have to trade up to get him. I’d hate to trade tons of future draft capital, but sometimes you have to bite the bullet. Hopefully there will be another QB that’s as good or better that will be available later in the RD, or in the next couple of rounds.

      • The Flying Pig's avatar The Flying Pig says:

        I hate trading up too
        right now we don’t know how close to the top we will be
        or that he will go that early (but that seems likely)

        Looking at the worst teams in the NFL right now
        I think the Raiders might stick with Carr

        Then its 49ers, Giants, Cards, Bills, Jests, Lions, Browns, Bucs, Jaguars & Broncos

        There there that might need a QB
        but a few others that just signed or drafted one

  32. Tim Knight's avatar Tim Knight says:

    When I come on here you would think Tannehill has played the last 5 games and that is what all the comments are about being that we haven’t scored an offensive TD for 9 straight quarters. It’s almost as if he’s played worse each week and that’s why everyone is fed up. It’s kind of strange.

    • Mike E.'s avatar Mike E. says:

      No, he hasn’t played, which is also part of the problem. He’s missed a ton of time, so now he’s not just a mediocre QB, he’s an unreliable injured mediocre QB, yet somehow we’re supposed to overlook all that and make him the focal point of our team again next year. Why???

      • Tim Knight's avatar Tim Knight says:

        It comes off as if each day something new has changed and that is what prompts these new discussions. It’s the same discussion since the Bengals game. How many different ways can it be said? LOL

        Just remember Mike, we’re not deciding if he is or isn’t the focal point of our team again next year.

  33. BailBondMike's avatar BailBondMike says:

    I would prefer Lynch over OZ even though Lynch has done nothing to prove himself. He would be no worse than OZ and is MUCH more mobile. For his size, about same as OZ, he is deceptively mobile as shown in this video against a good KC team. I just don’t understand why he has not caught on with another team. You can see the talent is there in this game.

  34. BailBondMike's avatar BailBondMike says:

    Tim, I am still supporting Tannehill, I just want a better backup. I can’t stand OZ!

  35. mf13ss's avatar mf13ss says:

    Justin Herbert is going to be a very interesting figure this year. He’s tied for his career low in passing rating (148.8), has the worst completion % of his college career this year (59.4%), and could end up throwing more INTs this year than he had previously thrown in his college career, COMBINED.

    We don’t worry so much about college stats — of course — rather what he is capable of doing at the next level. He can make most pro throws (pro arm), his size is nice, and seems to be able to command an Offense.

    If he comes out for the ’19 Draft, he’ll likely be the consensus QB1 in a very weak QB class… but will he be worth R1P1? Maybe he goes like R1P10 as the first QB off the board.

    Conversely, if he stays for his senior season at Oregon and TEARS IT UP (which he isn’t doing this year, IMO), he could be QB1 in a much better QB class in ’20, possibly going R1P1.

    Very curious case, and something to watch. If I were Herbert, I’d return to Oregon for my senior year in order to get better (which he will), and to earn even more $$$ in the ’20 Draft.

  36. BailBondMike's avatar BailBondMike says:

    I would like us to sign Lynch almost as much as M13 want’s Amerson. We obviously need an upgrade at the backup position since Fales can’t seem to beat out a shitty OZ.

    • mf13ss's avatar mf13ss says:

      I think I’ve given up on Amerson, sadly. I know he’s been dealing with injuries, and I think it’s robbed him of his potential. I also don’t think he’s as bright-eyed as he once was… I think his drive has all but left him. SAD!

  37. Mike E.'s avatar Mike E. says:

    Tim

    I remember every day that we’re not the ones deciding, and that’s what scares me the mostest. 🙂

    I’m just a major sourpuss. I just want something to look forward to next season, and if Tannehill is the guy again, I’m not sure I’m going to be find the energy to be as into all this as I have been all these years. If we draft a QB and Tannehill is here to keep the seat warm, while not ideal, it’s more palatable, I’d still prefer we just cut ties, to eliminate any further disappointments with him.

  38. Mike E.'s avatar Mike E. says:

    Piggí – Of the teams you mentioned, I think the Giants and Bucs are the teams that might be all in on a QB

  39. Mike E.'s avatar Mike E. says:

    I could see the Raiders taking the best defensive player, either DT or DE, then maybe getting a QB later in the 1st or 2nd just in case

    • Tim Knight's avatar Tim Knight says:

      They have enough picks to address all of it in any order. If there are QBs at the top and they have that pick which it looks like they will, I’d be shocked if they didn’t go QB first.

    • BailBondMike's avatar BailBondMike says:

      I forgot they have 3 picks in the 1st. Yeah, I would bet Gruden will draft a QB somewhere in the 1st round.

  40. Tim Knight's avatar Tim Knight says:

    Here’s the thing based on comments I’ve read all season. If Tannehill wasn’t responsible for any of the first 3 wins of the season, then he wasn’t solely responsible for the next two losses, and surely isn’t responsible for anything the last 5 games. But the way I read the comments each day it’s as if he’s gotten worse and is the reason we’re now 5-5. It’s just weird to me.

    These comments have nothing to do with whether I think Tannehill will or should be back in 2019 or not, I have no idea though I do tend to think he will be back. I’m all for drafting a QB though because I think the time is right. But there are still 6 games left to be played though, so why not focus on the in-season rather than the offseason when we’ll all have plenty of time to do that? The end results of the season will also give us a better picture of what will likely happen in the offseason. It’s way too early right now and discussing the draft in November is way premature, college is still playing and we don’t even know yet who will be available in the draft or where we’ll pick etc.

    That said, everyone has a right to discuss what they want to, but the comments everyday come off as if the season is over already. And I don’t mean whether or not you think the season is already over for the Dolphins and don’t expect much, which I understand. But what is the point of even following a team if with 6 games left at 5-5, you’re already done. If focusing on offseasons in November is what it’s all about, what’s the point?

    • Mike E.'s avatar Mike E. says:

      You’re right Tim – I think I’ve already dismissed this season rightfully or wrongfully. I think we’re a down turn, not sure what it is that will get it turned in the right direction, or if anything can. I’ve lost a lot of faith in our HC, and I foresee a lot of ugly football from this team in the weeks to come. If they find a magic elixir, I’ll be there to see it happen, I’ve just lost like 80% of the enthusiasm I had before the season, which is making it hard for dedicate 3 hours on a day I could be enjoying time with my wife instead of pissing it away and getting angry at how shitty our team is.

      • Tim Knight's avatar Tim Knight says:

        I understand. Unless we get back some of our better players and yes I do think Tannehill is the best QB on the team, it will be difficult for this team to do much down the stretch. Also if the defense can clean up their game which I feel like I say every other week. But while those 6 games are still left, might as well hope for the best and maybe they surprise us. I always go back to 2016 at 1-4. Did any of us see us winning 9 of the next 11? The NFL is a crazy league. Even if the rest of the season is like the Bears game, at least it will be fun. 🙂

    I’m not saying RT is the answer. He is an average QB. It he’s also not the whole problem. And I put more blame on the coaching, play calling, and injuries. We have seen Tannehill throw downfield and open it up when allowed. And we’ve seen him stink it up. Russel Wilson player like shit last night, but none of you would turn him down. When Miami played GB, they were running the ball successfully. Then they stopped running the ball. Whose fault was that? The QB’s?

    • Tim Knight's avatar Tim Knight says:

      I don’t really have an issue with the play calling. Sure there are always a few head scratchers. But I’ve also seen us run when we needed to and couldn’t get the yardage needed. So Gase tries something else on 3rd and short and if that doesn’t work people say we should have run it. But when we needed a yard or 2 and we get stuffed in the backfield, sometimes you lose faith in it. To me it’s more about execution then the plays. As for the down field throwing we have been trying it and the result has been incompletes and sacks. We can’t block deep drops at this time nor can Oz hit them.

    BBM I think the Lynch vs Oz comes down to a similar judgement i have of Tanny. We know what we have, there is no more, well this is where he turns it all around to discuss, he is what he is. Oz has been in the league long enough that he is what he is as well. There is no thinking that if given the opportunity again we will get a different result. That said, he’s pretty much paid like he is that, instead of paid like he is a franchise QB.

    Lynch on the other hand, you can say, maybe he still finds his way to being a solid player with the right coaching, etc. I dont think the ship has said for him just yet. I think thats why he not only makes me more excited to give him a chance but also apply a little hope for him in our future. The other guys we have on the roster, they just aren’t that.

  44. BailBondMike's avatar BailBondMike says:

    D, I agree, we have seen enough of Oz between Denver, Houston and Miami to know he is what he is which, IMO, is not even good enough to be a #2. I don’t think teams have seen enough of Lynch to know what he is, yet.

  45. D's avatar D says:

    I think trading up is always an option if you are solid on the guy you are trading up for. Thats not to say that everyone sees him as a guaranteed, and thats not to say that they are not going to fail, shit happens but you still gotta swing if thats your pitch.

    Everyone is afraid to give up draft picks and then miss, dolphins fans really are scared because our guys have tarded up so many pick in the past we aren’t confident in them making the right choice.

    • Tim Knight's avatar Tim Knight says:

      The Chiefs traded up for Mahomes so sometimes it is the right thing to do. Fans value all their draft picks too much sometimes because it’s rare you hit on most of them anyway.

        Ill be honest i thought that was a bad move on their part, i though the trade up for Trubisky was a bad move. In general i dont like giving up picks either, but both of those moves were good ones. Goff and Wentz were both good moves. Its time for our good move, we are well overdue for one.

    All depends on how they really feel about Carr. We probably know by the time the draft rolls around next year. I could see a lot of different positions because they have large gaping holes all over their team now.

  53. New Age's avatar New Age says:

    Tim,

    My only real issue with Tannehill is he’s become undependable. It’s not fair to him, but I couldn’t do what Gase and the FO have done. Keep waiting for that great Tannehill year where he stays healthy the either year. He’s not done that once for Gase. Not once, so it seems crazy as hell for our management team to continue sitting there bringing in sub-par options like Oz, Moore, etc etc. It really amazes me. He’s ok when healthy, won’t win too many games and won’t be the primary factor in most losses. That”s ok…until he started missing tons of games. That’s not smart risk management for our leadership team. Same for Gase. I don’t have too many issues. My only problems are that he can’t seem to find good assistants, and his offense sucks ass and he’s supposedly good at offense. He’s also stubborn and that just doesn’t seem to be working. I don’t mind either guy for one more year but would probably get much more adamant past that(without success).

    I feel like we’d never talk about the team itself if we didn’t have these somewhat repetitive discussions. The case for or against Tannehill has been almost the same for 7 years. The only new wrinkle is he’s barely played in two years. Pretty big wrinkle and shows there hasn’t been massive improvement in that time. Same for our FO and coaches. They still draft some good players and terrible ones, Same as every other team. Same with every other decision but we aren’t nearly as good as some other teams at these things. No one here can change anything but that doesn’t mean we shouldn’t discuss. We talk hope and rainbows almost all year except when they start playing the games and disappoint us once again for the 16th time out of 18 years. Bad refs, too much Patriots success, bad rules, etc, all helped this game lose some of it’s luster.

  54. ocalarob's avatar ocalarob says:

    Gases offense has been decimated by injuries, i’m just guessing ….taking a long shot….. but that just may contribute a tiny bit as to why this offense “sucks ass”

    • New Age's avatar New Age says:

      Yet other teams find ways around injury. Minnesota went to the playoffs last year with a backup QB playing all year. Patriots went 11-5 with Matt Cassel one year. The Colts and Patriots have had more people on IR this year than us…somehow making it work. Was Gase’s offense decimated in Weeks 1-5…when they still looked like ass?

      • Tim Knight's avatar Tim Knight says:

        The Colts are 4-5. Leave the Pats out of it, that’s a different beast as we know. MIN had the #1 defense last year.

  55. Tim Knight's avatar Tim Knight says:

    One thing I think we forget sometimes with Tannehill is he can beat teams with his legs. Oz is not quick or fast, he’s more lumbering like Matt Moore was and that is another limitation we have to deal with. We have no idea where we’d be if Tannehill didn’t get hurt so continuing to say we have to move on is purely opinion and not based on anything else. We were 3-2. Sure we had one bad game and a 4th quarter collapse in the other his last two games played, but it happens. Those two games should not be the defining moment. Lots of QBs throughout the league have had some stinkers this season.

    Our defense has been atrocious in half of the games this year. If not for some timely turnovers it would look even worse. Teams have had no problem moving the ball on us most weeks. But everyone keeps focusing on QB and offense. Our offense has issues no doubt, but we’ve started 10 different guys on the OL through 10 games and we’ve also gotten banged up at QB, TE and WR. We’re not good enough to play with that many 2nd and 3rd stringers. So we need the defense to keep us in games and they have struggled doing that.

    • New Age's avatar New Age says:

      I’d focus a lot less on offense if Gase didn’t have that offensive wizard moniker attached. I know our defense is terrible and our offense has lots of injuries. The problem is that they looked like an inconsistent big play offense when most of these guys were still healthy. We’d have 2-3 huge plays a game that would barely squeak us past the competition and then the Pats showed how easy it was to stop it. Matt Burke is terrible. I agree.

    I find it funny that whenever I or others have made a point about losing key starters of ours, I get from a select few “M13, you’re overreacting. There’s 31 other teams, and they all deal with injuries too: next man up, c’mon”.

    Then I find it funny that whenever I or others have made a point about next man up, I get from a select few “M13, you’re overreacting. The 31 other teams don’t have it as bad as we have: we lost key starters, c’mon”.

    Ya can’t make this $#!t up, and it consistently comes from only a few posters here. These people are CONTRARIANS, and love to argue for the sake of argument… not for the sake of our team. Dammit that gets annoying.

    I get that we are all frustrated with our team, but there’s absolutely zero consistency from these few, and these same few never pose an independent idea of their own (are they afraid to get shot down? I dunno).

    Have consistency, is all I’m sayin’. If one likes the status quo of our team, own it. If one doesn’t like the status quo of our team, own it. There’s no need to be cryptic (and I’m the one who’s called cryptic? HUH???).

    I’ve spent a great deal of time defending Ryan Tannehill over the years (since ’12), citing his O-Lines were poor/injured, he didn’t have the weapons around him, and that he needed more time to develop (such as hitting his man in-stride and developing a deep ball.. which he’s now accomplished!)… but I’m finished with the excuses after 7 years. What’s more, he’s now injury riddled/prone. He’s reached his ceiling and I’m not going to waste another year, hoping that our O-Line doesn’t get decimated like it does every single year.

    And truthfully, it’s not all on Tannehill, of course. I’m not a “Tannehater”, not by any stretch… but it’s now time to move on. Adam Gase is a .500 HC, and that includes all of his boys (former QBs) playing for Miami.

    NO MORE EXCUSES, PERIOD. Bad luck, ya say? What… since the age of Robbie/Shula/Marino? Not unless one truly believes in the “Joe Robbie Curse”. Injuries, ya say? These aren’t just injuries, these are annual occurrences that are borderline pandemic in nature regarding our Miami Dolphins over nearly the last 2 decades.

    And for the love of sanity and unity, I’d expect a little consistency out of our moderator(s) when calling people out on this board for having used a term that most others have used.

    And where’s David, Joe Mamma’d, and GetterDone? Gee, I wonder…

      I was joking, but seriously i thought you were yanking our legs lol. There have been several times you have made comments and i thought you were more poking fun than being serious.

      Its possible they re-negotiate his contract, but i dont see them extending him with guaranteed money. I think they will not get themselves into that situation again. I agree that Gase sticks behind his vet’s but i also think the FO has made moves plenty of times that seem intent on keeping the least short for Tanny, so as much as Gase might like him i think the FO is getting close to their limit.

      No offense meant with the trolling, an to me trolling isn’t a negative thing, it can be used that way but it can also just be way to promote discussion. So again, not meant ugly, just i didnt really think you were on that side of the fence on the Tanny discussion.

      I havent been really “blowing his horn” though for a while, i have tried my best to get behind him for the past 2-3 years after spending his first few years with us really being fully behind him. Its almost impossible now for me to really get behind him. Ive seen too little for to long to muster up hope for change.

    and that ain’t bad considering he’s been the coach 2.5 years, it’s still to early to judge him.

    • D's avatar D says:

      The 10-6 and playoff appearance hurts him ultimately. We would be more tolerant of his record if it werent for that, though i think the anemic offense would still have people fed up with him, because like New Age was saying, he came in touted as a offensive guru who could make magic beasts out of ordinary QB’s. It was overblown and that also hurts him. Had we spent the first year 6-10, then last years 6-10 would have sucked but we would be like “well he lost his QB” and then if he rebounded and gave us 8-8 we might be less ready to make a change right now.

      Tanny is a different story, he has been given chance after chance, he has had the trigger that has needed to be pulled stopped. I think last year not drafting a guy really meant this year Tanny would have had to killed it to not have left people frustrated, and i think that carries on to now, even though he hasn’t been playing, which also frustrates fans. Again, he might survive to another year if they renegotiate, but i think it could just as easily go the other way and they finally end things.

      No questioning Tannehill has not been reliable since the end of 2016 missing 24 of our last 29 games due to injury. But saying after 7 years dismisses that he hasn’t played much in his 6th and 7th seasons because of that, not because of performance. Just saying!

    I see that point, but just because a guy doesn’t play doesn’t mean he can’t be improving at his craft. We can’t see the results on the field, but he should still be working on things behind the scenes to get better. I realize he hasn’t played every year he’s been a pro, but it is what it is. He’s had 7 years, injuries are part of it. I don’t know how else to look at it.

    • Tim Knight's avatar Tim Knight says:

      I agree that Tannehill not being reliable and durable in recent years hurts his cause. That’s why I say the time is right to draft a QB in 2019 and at least somewhat high in next year’s draft. To me when you draft a QB, draft a guy who has the prototype size and arm etc. that you can work with. Taking guys late who have a lot of limitations is just taking a shot at a dark horse. Like Luke Falk who we picked up after the Titans cut him after drafting him 6th rd this year. He has some good intangibles but he has limitations he will have to work on or the team will have to work around.

      I think the best course of action next year is Tannehill, a rookie, Falk and maybe another vet to all compete and go from there. We’re not winning anything with Oz or Fales so I would move on from that.

    Tim,
    I think the time to draft a QB was last year. We had a draft pick high enough that we could get a highly touted one….or close enough to make a move to go get one. I have no problem if they decided not to make a big move to go get one because I never really like those moves unless you’re pretty sure about a guy….so I’m not gonna rip them….but they could have gone after one. That kid would possibly be in a spot to be playing and developing for us right now with Tanny out….making him, hopefully, a better player next year after getting a half year or so to get through some rookies hiccups.
    ***
    I think you gotta take chances trying to get a truly good QB. You rarely get to just sit back and let one come to you. I also don’t like the thought that it’s such a crap shoot that you stick with the average guy you got and don’t even try to go get his replacement. That gets you nowhere.

    • Tim Knight's avatar Tim Knight says:

      The issue with this team right now is a backup QB who is not very good, a depleted OL, other positions we’re low on talent due to season ending injuries and a defense that is totally inconsistent, yet we’re 5-5. Not a lot panned out this year with the roster.

      As a Mets fan most fans I know saw what the issue were. As Dolphins fans, most people ignore all that stuff and look for scapegoats. You’re not the same team when you lose the better players at their positions. I don’t care about recent history and we haven’t won etc. This Dolphins team is a shell of what it was supposed to be on opening day. If that makes me a cheerleader, so be it.

    My son is retarded.
    “tard” is the root meaning “late” as in “tardy.”
    “retarded” began as a euphemism for having skills far behind one’s age peers.
    It meant “late in developing” with the subcontext that in reality the development will never occur.

    Saying a process, such as the development of a QB, is retarded is actually somewhat accurate, if it means “taking a long time to develop” because of spending 2 yrs at WR and having shit for coaching in the pros. The subcontext again is that the development will never occur, as so much time has passed now and it would have occurred if it ever was going to.

    Using “retard” about someone of normal intelligence is an insult, but is sloppy diction unless it means that the target of the insult is slow at developing insight, such as “Don’t you see that that QB sucks after 7 years? You retard.”

    stanger,
    I may have missed something back then. Was there a serious controversy about the reply button where people were angry or upset? I thought it was always just a funny, joke of a thing. Some liked it. Some didn’t, and we just busted each other’s balls about it.

      I don’t remember a serious controversy on the subject

        I think it was about as replies hit their limit sentences became 3 or 4 words max as tight little paragraphs. LOL

    • stangerx's avatar stangerx says:

      Most notorious on it was Bat and his death to all who hit the reply button. But pretty sure that was his way of poking fun at all of us who took it so seriously for a while. Including me, who darn sure wasn’t gonna let any one tell him whether or not to hit the button……and yeah I got grief for it. 🙂

    Randy – Do you still speak to Rob (FFR)? I emailed him quite some time ago, never responded. I know he was angry about something, but I didn’t think it was really serious. Guess I was wrong. LOL

    • Tim Knight's avatar Tim Knight says:

      I think he got tired of the whole blog thing and the team not being anything special. That or he’s still looking for his tent. LOL

    I just use the word Moron

  79. ocalarob's avatar ocalarob says:

    Randy i change my mindset about certain aspects of this team all the time, in 2016 we had a great running game and it showed at that point i was satisfied with the running game, we started 2017 4-3 and then they dumped our #1 RB, we went 2-7 after that and had the least runs of any team, i was very unhappy with that and i’m still on the fence however i like the Gore factor and the fact they are using him more.

    I look at the success the Tanny/Gase combo has had and i want to see more of that, and i’m sure i will. they went 11-7 together and you talk about people making excuses everytime i mention the 11-7 mark that’s all i hear…how they had an easy schedule and how they had a running game…blah…blah…blah…excuses….they are what their record says they are.

  80. ocalarob's avatar ocalarob says:

    Gase doesn’t use Injuries as an excuse because he feels if he gives his players an excuse, they will quit on him, it’s the next man up…..;with that said i believe injuries have definitely cost us games. and i think we have lost more starters in crucial positions than any other team in the NFL

  81. ocalarob's avatar ocalarob says:

    I’m just hoping we get tanny and the two tackles back at indy

  82. The Flying Pig's avatar The Flying Pig says:

    I would like to draft a QB
    Not sure if we do it in the first

    But whoever fills out the roster after that doesn’t reall matter

    I would be happy with what’s WY said and actually I think that’s better than “Tannehill is our guy” for another year

  83. ocalarob's avatar ocalarob says:

    Its possible they re-negotiate his contract, but i dont see them extending him with guaranteed money. I think they will not get themselves into that situation again. I agree that Gase sticks behind his vet’s but i also think the FO has made moves plenty of times that seem intent on keeping the least short for Tanny, so as much as Gase might like him i think the FO is getting close to their limit.
    ____________________________________________________

    I highly doubt he will sign a contract unless they show him they want him here, and that would mean a 3 year deal at least.

    as for Gase and the FO Gase has the last say on his Roster not the FO.

  84. Wyoming85's avatar wyoming85 says:

    For those like my porcine friend who didn’t catch the sarcasm dripping off the QB post!

    That would make me vomit!

  85. Wyoming85's avatar wyoming85 says:

    I want to up-grade at QB too!

    But don’t come at me with another Middling QB to replace our Middling QB!!!!!!!!!!!!

    So there are 8 QB’s are better than Tanny???? Debatable!

    So unless you just want different Shit!

    And yes we should have got one last year! Because unless your going for the top one, the rest look just, well middling!

  86. ElephantRider's avatar ElephantRider says:

    Mike E

    I dont know. That’s the great mystery!

  87. naplesfan2010's avatar naplesfan2010 says:

    Suspend your qualitative judgement of the team for a moment.
    Let’s just look at numbers.
    If we beat Indy … if we play like we did against the jests second game … and we beat Indy …
    We are only 2 games back of NE for the division crown, if they beat NY in NY.
    We play NE in Miami, where we beat them last year. They also must play Minny and at Pitt.
    We have a good chance of going 5-1. If they go 3-3 … Brady looked very old against Tennessee.
    We could win the AFCE with a lucky tie-break.
    We are only a half game behind the Bengals (and the tie breaker) for the wild card spot.
    Cincy must play at the Ravens this Sunday and then the “red-hot” LOL Browns.
    Cincy has a terrible scoring defense (158 points against in last 4 games)
    and a ho hum offense without AJ.
    The rest of their schedule is not easy except for the Raiders. If they go 3-4, we are in at 9-7.
    We hold the tie against the Titans.

    Let’s concentrate good vibes for the Phins against the Colts.

    Qualitatively, we could go 0-6 .

  88. naplesfan2010's avatar naplesfan2010 says:

    I tried to get us to go for a DT in the first round last yr. Of course I am happy to have Minkah, but as I said then, we have 2 starting safeties, and we will be forced to sit one to play Minkah. 😒

    As I said after we cut Suh, we have someone to replace Landry and Pouncey,but we do not have a run stopping DL. (We did subsequently sign Akeem Spence, and I am pleased with his play lately.)

    So this year, depending on how well Tannehill recovers from his shoulder injury, which might actually end his career, and depending on what QBs are left to us when we pick, I would favor us taking a future all-pro DT in the first this year. There are a bunch of good ones coming out this year.

  89. naplesfan2010's avatar naplesfan2010 says:

    As for the word “stupid,” it has the same root as the word “stupefied” and also originally meant “stunned” and was usually used to refer to what we now call concussed, although more likely then it resulted from receiving a blow from a cudgel or some other blunt force trauma in a battle.

    The slack jaw, vacant stare, confusion, and inability to answer simple questions made it easy to transfer the term from someone suffering a concussion to a person with organically low IQ.

  91. naplesfan2010's avatar naplesfan2010 says:

    Please list all the other teams this year who have lost their starting QB and their record in those games he did not play. SF?

    Please list all those teams who have lost 5 out of their top 6 OL this year and their record … never mind. There aren’t any.

    Please list all those teams that have lost 3 of their top 5 rush defenders this year and how well they have stopped the running game since. Whatever.

    Now show me one team that has lost all of the above and their #1 and 2 TEs and their WR1 for most games and their shiny new FA offensive weapon.

    Are any of those one game out of the playoffs with 6 to go?

    • D's avatar D says:

      I can show you a team with a worse point differential than nearly every team in the NFL, and one with 3 of their wins against 2 of the worst teams in the league. It’s not about the W/L record when you are trying to be hopeful about the future games, it’s about how well you are playing. We aren’t playing like 5-5 we are playing much worse. Do you really feel like on any of the next Sundays we are likely to win? Do you really see 5-1, because I don’t. I feel like I’m being generous suggesting 3-3.

      • ocalarob's avatar ocalarob says:

        we are 5-5 so obviously we are playing like a 5-5 team

      • D's avatar D says:

        No other team playing like us is 5-5, so it must be a statistical abnormality

      • ocalarob's avatar ocalarob says:

        you’re not metioning the wins against the Titans and Bears, two very strong teams, i would assume that doesn’t fit your agenda

      • D's avatar D says:

        Brock Osweiler won the bears game, I thought we weren’t counting him since Tanny is the only decent QB we have. The Titans game was when they didn’t have Mariota and we’re so bad they couldn’t buy a win. Don’t ya remember we beat the real American hero?

      • ocalarob's avatar ocalarob says:

        Mariota started that game and got injured during the game

  92. D's avatar D says:

    BTW Naples your child isn’t retarded your child is a gift no matter his mental capacity. Do you live him like he us retarded or do you live him like he is your child. My belief and the 100% way I have ever used that word is to describe actions and not people. I would never call a person who was truly mentally handicapped retarded because their actions are not outside their capabilities, where as those whose actions I call out for being retarded are capable of more. Still as I said, I have no intention on saying anything that does harm, so I will try my best to not use that word on here, despite the fact that my intentions are different than how callous as they may seem

    I can’t wait to see this list…D where’s the list???

  94. ocalarob's avatar ocalarob says:

    with Tannehill Tunsil and James back against Indy i think we have a shot at beating them, they beat Jax due to a stupid fumble that didn’t even look like a fumble otherwise they lose that game.

  95. ocalarob's avatar ocalarob says:

    Mike Mcarthy and John Harbaugh are on the hot seat , if they get fired would it be wise to get one of them in Miami?

  96. D's avatar D says:

    I don’t have an agenda. I’m just stating how I see the state of our team and I feel the stuff I have mentioned supports it. No offense I just don’t have the positive outlook you do and I believe I’ve come to my opinion deservedly so. We may we have Tanny here next year but it would be a mistake at 26mil, it would be a mistake to extend him 3 years more. It’s not my call though and I’m not going to stop watching my team if they do or don’t move on so it’s probably not really worth discussing anyways.

  97. New Age's avatar New Age says:

    I’m not a fan of Harbaugh or McCarthy. Might as well keep Gase before those options.

    I hadn’t thought of FFR for a while which is kinda sad. GD, Joe Momma, Top , even Chiefen from the really old days. I’m glad to see Bat occasionally though. Lots of turnover but the same happens at all blogs, communities, etc.
