So the 2018 NFL season will be coming to and end next week, and as per usghe, Dolphins will watch other teams in the playoffs. Also as per usghe, we will not be picking top 10. We’re not even good at that! Sometimes if you’re bad, it’s better to be baaaad. Get that top 5 pick, or even #1 pick, and then parlay that into more picks, and really change the roster. No, we’ll pick somewhere in the middle, maybe 15 or 16, or maybe even 18 or so when we beat Buffalo when it doesn’t count next week.
Let’s take a step back. I’m not mad that we lost yesterday, our playoff chances were slim going in, but for a while there, the Colts were losing, so our opportunity was there, but we couldn’t take care of business. It seems like whenever the stakes are high, and the playoffs are on the line, we manage to show our worst. Ryan Tannehill is a big part of that. He’s not, I repeat, NOT the guy that will lift your team. I watch a lot of games around the NFL, and the best QB’s take chances. They don’t always work out, but guys like Brees, Roethlisberger, Wilson etc. when the game is on the line, throw a 30 yard pass on 2nd and 8. They throw a 30 yard pass on 3rd and 10, in fact, they always look to get the ball downfield for a big play. That’s the last place Tannehill looks. He’s a warrior, but he’s gutless in his decision making. He’s not a guy that wants to get the kill, he’s a workaday bee. He’s more than happy to just do his job, but he’s not wired to kill.
There are rumblings for a big front office shakeup in Miami. If so, that would probably signal the end for Mike Tannenbaum ( Executive VP of Football Operations) and Chris Grier (GM). Which direction we would go from this I don’t know, but I’d hope we find a guy with experience that can build the team from the ground up. No quick fix plan, but build the team in the image of what he feels is successful, and sustainable in the current and future state of the NFL. Identify a HC, and mutually agree with that HC on the coordinators, and then build the team. If it takes 2 or 3 years, fine. Don’t cut corners to try and win now, no foolish FA spending. If we take our lumps for a year or two, so be it. Just build it right. The best teams do, and repeatedly are contenders.
If we don’t fire any executives and and don’t bring a new FO, I’d hope that Adam Gase is truly on the hot seat. I can’t be sure he’s not the one, but it’s becoming clearer to me that he might not be. For all of his offensive knowledge and potential, our offense is in the bottom 5. It’s understood we lost players to injury, yet there are players on the roster that are here that I feel are underused. Kenyan Drake had 10 total touches Sunday. He’s you’re home run hitter, the big playmaker. C’mon, it’s not like he’s Tavon Austin and we’re afraid he can’t touch the ball too many times, Drake is 6’1 212. Frank Gore is out for the season, and Drake gets 10 total touches. What’s the problem? Where’s the disconnect?
Forget about the defense, Gase has no part of that, and it’s obvious, because Matt Burke still has a job. Oh BTW, our defense is also in the bottom 5. Yeah, we lost some personnel there too, but it’s more than that, a lot more than that. We don’t make adjustments on either side of the ball, just keep going with what we’ve got. What we got ain’t working all too often, so . . . At the very least, if Gase is still here next season, he has to do 2 things. Fire both coordinators, find a legit OC who can call the plays so Gase doesn’t have to sit on the bench during the damn game doodling by himself. Find a legit DC who has been proven elsewhere, and will straighten out and identify our issues, and fix them. That might even be enough to save his job for the future.
I think we MUST draft a QB next season, and not just pick one in RD 5-7 to say we took a QB. It’s possible the best QB for us might be in RD 5, but then I want that guy competing to start from the get-go, and not sitting on the bench because Gase loves Ryan Tannehill. If Tannehill is still here next season, his reign is over. He is on notice, and any real competitors should have a fair shot to unseat him. If somehow he comes out on top, as soon as he falters, the next man up if ready should be given his shot. We’ve seen this show far too many times, It always ends the same. Ryan Tannehill has never played in a playoff game, and he probably never will. Nuff said!
I wish I had a brighter outlook for all of you, I think we all could use a little Dolphins cheer, but we’re going to have to wait and see how things shake out.
Happy Holidays to all of you!
Enjoy!

We need someone that know what to do with draft picks, that isn’t named Tannenbaum or Gase
Okay
Well I guess we will know soon what the plan is for 2019
Probably tomorrow…
Well if Ross is in Buffalo now we might find out today
But I would have figured tomorrow as well before I found out Ross was here
Get his exit interviews and make announcements tomorrow. LOL
He’s pissed, heads will roll
I’d not even THOUGHT about Mike Mayock! PLEASE, bring Mayock to MIAMI!!!
Everyone get ready for more good news
We knew he was going to be expensive but figured we’d get one more year first….let’s see if he holds out
I mean
I want to be the highest paid CB in the nfl too
So this quote might be innocuous
The Media vultures are circling around Gase, they seem to know breaking news is coming , and it won’t be good for Gase imo
Bills beat us 41-17, that’s telling
And Tannehill is 0-5 in Buffalo.
He sucks
I’m sorry, but I’m 100% with my man Old Dolfan. Steve Ross is a HUGE problem for us.
Howard isn’t the best cb in the NFL. He’s good, but not the best. This sounds like Leveon Bell talk
^
I’m audi until later…
who do we get to replace gase if he is fired?
Damn good question
All I know is I want a REAL GM for this team; not a lame duck GM like Grier. So, with Tannenbaum being fired and Gase looking like he’s on his way out you clean house and bring in a REAL GM and let him make that decision. There’s assistant GM’s who have been groomed for the position. Go get one and let him do what he’s supposed to do to build the team.
This is how I feel after a losing season
If we didn’t sign Cutler last year we could have done something else.
much agreed, 10 million wasted
http://www.nfl.com/videos/good-morning-football/0ap3000001004899/Very-Important-Players-in-Week-17
I’m rooting for CLE big time! I hate the Ravens only less than the Patriots and Jets and Bills
Well before this game started I told you guys & gals that Buffalo would cover the 5 point spread with room to spare. If anything, I understated the magnitude of Buffalo’s victory. THIS GAME WAS AN ABSOLUTE DISGRACE TO THE FANS OF THE MIAMI DOLPHINS!! THEY lost to a crappy Buffalo team by 25 points (about 4 touchdowns)!!!!!!!!!!!!!
ANYONE who is OK with this needs to be put in an insane asylum!!!!!!
This team needs a total rebuild from top to bottom, STARTING WITH THE OWNER!! –Since a new owner doesn’t seem to be an option, we’ll have to settle for a new most everything else, keeping ONLY those guys who have proven to be very successful at this level.
————–
ROSS needs to talk to recently retired Ozzie Newsome to get a few ideas about WHO should be the next GM of the Dolphins. That person should be given the power to fill the HC’s job since, beyond a doubt, ROSS is NOT QUALIFIED to pick the right guy. The HC should be encouraged, with the help of the new GM, to hire asst. coaches who have proven they can succeed in the NFL.
Obviously, the entire FO needs to go. A NEW Director of scouting needs to be in place ASAP because the current group of scouts has been PICKING THE WRONG GUYS with way too many of our draft choices! We are the “Dolly Parton’s of the NFL,”—big, big busts!!!!!
————-
C’mon, Ross! Get on the lines and fire everybody who deserves to be fired! –Cal Ozzie!! –Time is of the essence as other franchises are also looking for new GM’s, new HC’s, and new heads of the scouting department! (That should read “CALL OZZIE!”).
————
FINALLY. Ross needs to apologize to all Dolphin fans for putting them through the worst 10-year run in Dolphins history. He NEEDS to admit he’s failed us as an owner!! But I don’t believe he’s got either the will or the cajones to do it. He still believes his status as a mega-billionaire should shield him from any criticism, whether deserved or NOT!! Perhaps he doesn’t know what a billionaire I know readily admitted to me. To wit, “to get this rich, you’ve got to have one of the best products on the planet. If it’s NOT one of the best, improve it until it IS ONE OF THE BEST!”
———–
SO, STEVIE, get your thumb out of your ass and get to work, PRONTO!! The longer you wait, the tougher the job will be.
Usually, successful people like him surround themselves with people who are smarter than they are and that’s one of the reasons why they are successful. However, Ross has chosen to surround himself with idiots.
Lou – Who would be your choice to be the head of football operations of MIA? HC too?
I don’t want one. there’s no need for it. I think the structure should be GM/Asst GM with no head of football operations. not necessary. the position has produced nothing of value. waste of money. not every team has one and for this team it was just a glorified title that produced mediocre results.
and as far as head coach, if we were to get a REAL GM I’d leave that up to him. so, like I said, interview Paton, Wolf and Abrams. hire one and get the hell out of their way.
One thing is for sure. If Ross does decide to keep a VP of football operations position I sure as hell don’t want Marino there.
agreed, Marino doesnt want the job

You really went out on a limb with that prediction…congrats
Flattery will get you nowhere.
🙂
Anyone else think this was last game for Wake?
yes (pout)
In Miami yes, but he said he still wants to play. He looked really slow chasing Allen on that TD run.
Yeah I meant in our laundry. I see him going to a real contender on a 1 yr cheapish deal. I wish him all the best if so.
OD, why would anyone be okay with losing 42-17?
I have no idea what is going to happen with this team but it can’t stay the same.
wake and gore wont be back imo, father time wont wait around any longer to claim their souls with the rest of the retired great ones. may they both have a HOF future!
Per Antwan Staley, Adam Gase will not be speaking to the media tomorrow. ???????????
he will be speaking to his realtor, hes outta here
Ross is part of the problem, hes a great buisnessman, very rich, but this doesnt mean he understands the NFL. he needs a top minds in the game that know how to build and develop a team. the owner doesnt need to know everything about the NFL< just sign the checks, but he at least needs to hire the right NFL people, then everything has a chance to work out.
the browns were left for dead for years, then got some better FO management, better players, and they did very well this year. any team can improve if they bring in quality people
Well after years of winning only 0, 1 and 2 games I guess winning 7 games is doing really well as they are being clobbered by the Ravens 26-7 in the 1st half. LOL
it normally takes them 14 years to get 7 wins, lmao,
they did it in ONE year, thats a huge improvement
we may have put too much on Gases shoulders. he was head coach, called the plays, and evaluated talent.
the right guy could possibly do all these things, but maybe Gase would have been more successful if he was just HC, had a great OC to call plays, and great GM to evaluate talent, with input from Gase of course
i just dont think Gase can do it all, maybe one of those roles , but not all
well, he was the one who thought he could handle all that. but, yeah, there should have been at least one guy, whether it was the OC or the DC who had the experience at his job who knew what the hell he was doing to take some of the pressure off him.
However, Gase’s ego is the thing that did him in.
yep
It’s always great when you have lots of great. LOL

Sources tell FanSided the #Ravens want to trade John Harbaugh. #Dolphins are frontrunners if that happens (via @MattVerderame)
That’s weird being that the Ravens are playing so well and with a rookie QB.
yeah, I’m not buying it either. I don’t want to trade picks for a head coach.
Miami’s defensive line is the position group most in need of an overhaul. The Dolphins rank in the bottom-five of the NFL in sacks, and they sport one of the NFL’s worst run defenses. On the edge, Robert Quinn and Andre Branch are due huge salaries and could be candidates to be cut. Charles Harris, a 2017 first-round pick, has been a disappointment with just three sacks in his two NFL seasons. Wake is a free agent. Miami needs to add at least two and possibly more edge rushers to this group — and it’s likely the team’s biggest need. Defensive tackle is an issue as well. The Dolphins never properly replaced Ndamukong Suh.
http://www.espn.com/blog/nflnation/post/_/id/291006/dolphins-improvement-marginal-as-questions-usher-in-offseason
one of the worst run defenses DL is due big raises? what if they had actually played well? damn.
we need to draft 2 DL and bring in a FA too.’
charles harris is such a first round bust, SMH
Oh look…it’s the bottom feeders….here to gloat that the team sucked. But…what can you expect from socialist and losers.
u are the one gloating, we are discussing possible fixes,
but what to expect from a fascist bootlicker and loser
I don’t think anyone who is a fan of the team is gloating because they finished 7-9 and were blown out today. Everyone wants the team to win and be dominant once again but some of us are just more willing to accept the fact that the team doesn’t have the leadership at the top necessary to get the job done.
yeppers
Why would John Harbaugh want to come here and trade a couple of first RD picks away? That’s absurd! Furthermore, why would we entertain such a thing in the first place?
Yeah, it would be a pretty stupid move. Unless it’s a monetary thing.
John Harbaugh isn’t going anywhere according to the Ravens
if we did bring in Harbaugh, he will need those picks , or it will set back his progress two years
the Dolphins DID trade for Shula and that worked out okay, but its a huge risk IMO
not true. the team was penalized for tampering by signing Shula after the merger of the AFL/NFL. so they had to give the Colts draft picks
o my bad, that was before my time, lol i knew the fins had used picks on shula, but i thought it was trade, not penalties
damn. Foles doing it again. SMH. and we’ve been stuck with the golden boy for 7 yrs
tannesuck will cost us 26 million against the cap next season,
the team has no hope if they cant figure out the right thing to do here, cut bait and draft a QB
Black Monday will be upon us very soon, Will be interesting to see the changes if there are changes.
IMO if you’re going to dump your whole FO this decision should have already been made months ago and you have a target in mind, other wise you stay status quo until a great opportunity presents itself
I don’t think today decided anything, it was already decided prior to today.
ACTUALLY, TIM, according to insiders quoted on the NFL Channel, the Dolphins’ FO was in complete turmoil today. Some wanted to keep the same regime while others wanted to clean house. But your sources are probably better than the NFL Network’s.
look around the league at the OC’s of teams like KC..The Rams…Not sure if they have one…or the saints maybe….and poach.
that seems to be Ross’s method of operation with the hiring of Philbin and Gase.
Get Jeff Ireland back!
je;; no he is still part of our problem with his shitty picks, it takes years to recover from a disaster like him
Yeah i guess you’re right…look how he’s killing the saints!
thats irrelevant, because look at how he destroyed the Dolphins ireland didnt bring in drew brees either, he didnt want brees in Miami
even if ireland was capable of doing a good job, he did a shitty job here and there is no reason to bring back a guy that shit on the team
That was Saban who passed on Brees, if you’re going to make an argument please get correct information to support such.
The Detroit Lions ended the season with a resounding 31-0 win over the Green Bay Packers to finish 6-10.
even a shitty team like the lions, who beat us btw, are looking at firing their staff, but they played their hearts out anyway, they skunked the Pack.
why the Fins just pack it in, in the face of adversity has to be found and changes need to be made
Yes, and the Packers had an interim HC, Philbin. So I’m not sure what this proves.
simple, its an example of how some teams play their hearts out even though it doesnt count, and this team gets blown out 41-17, and has a history of packin it in too often, changes need to be made to get better results than what was seen today
DAVID: Despite all the evidence to the contrary, there are STILL Dolfans out there who believe everything will be OK with the current regime. Be patient, just a couple of good draft picks, and we’ll be contenders. These “flat earth” fans wouldn’t know a good coach or a good team if one bit them in the ass. That’s partly because most of them WEREN’T DOLPHIN FANS when we actually had a decent team way back in 2000. So they don’t have a viable point of reference..
—————-
SO SAD.
yes, i see that too, lol but changes are coming, no matter what we believe because Ross is pissed and wants change.
Ross is the boss, and the hammer will fall imo
I thought Ireland did a fair job here after all there were other influences when he was here, he was over written by parcells and forced to select Pat White. Chad henne was one of parcells mistakes as well.
look at the saints Drafts, they’re killing it in every round!
I sometimes think to myself that those same players wouldn’t even be coming close to contributing in Miami the way they do there because the coaching in Miami is just so bad at evaluating and developing talent.
pat white has zero completions for his career, great pick for a franchise qb?
and henne was an overdrafted backup
good correct orob, that was right before ireland, but is it correct ireland traded up for dt3, and many other disasters? he did nothing to deserve a second chance here. we dont have much success to point back at
its up to Ross, but ill be pissed if he goes after ireland, thats the kind of management we had in the past, and dont need for the future
besides the fan base might revolt, lol most hated ireland
Jeff Ireland is the director of college scouting, not the GM for the Saints. Why do people keep ignoring that and keep giving him credit for their success?
That is true and all the more reason to poach him, as if he was the GM we couldn’t get him. he led the saints in the draft by selecting key players.
https://www.neworleanssaints.com/team/front-office-roster/jeff-ireland
yea orob, if you are going to make a point, get the info correct first, thanks
My info is correct, i knew Ireland wasn’t their GM otherwise we could not land him as ours.
no it isnt, u are giving him too much credit imo, but its a moot point, because ireland did a terrible job and ross isnt bringing him back to do more damage
Ocala,
No offense but I don’t think you know how this all works. Months ago, Ross probably didn’t know he might need to do a complete overhaul. Most teams don’t know that months in advance during the NFL season. If he has good people, then a list of candidates is already waiting but some won’t interview until after their playoff run in over.
All teams poach, no one has ever hired a guy off the street to be the HC of their team. The reason many of these guys get into coaching is to become a HC and their old staff loves to see them get the opportunity.
One thing is you definitely don’t do is stay status quo until ‘the right opportunity’ opens up. That’s how people stay in neutral and how you miss out on the next Matt Nagy, McVay, etc. There are lots of good coaches and you have to keep looking for the next great coach. Sometimes, you keep hiring until you find the right one. We don’t have that guy.
And I highly doubt this is going to be anything close to staying with the status quo. This is going to be a full blown reset from top to bottom.
I don’t see anyone surviving this mess.
and the other side of that coin is keeping a turnstile of coaches with different philosophies coming and going thru your organization.
you build for a certain philosophy then throw that out the window with new hires.
we had a lot of injuries this year, Gase has not had the time to put together his roster after 3 years.
then you look at the money you are throwing away, Gase makes 5 mil per, that’s a 10 mil hit if you dump him now and then you have to pay the new hire. not to mention grier and Tannenbaums pay.
cheaper to stay staatus quo and not sure if Gase is really that bad or the injuries played a part in the lack of success. not having your starting QB hurts
we havent had a franchise qb in decades, thats on ireland as well, he passed on some great qbs, and left us with pat white
Pat White was a Parcells selection.
what franchise qb did ireland bring to miami: nothing! he let other teams select them while wasting our picks he never drafted a franchise qb even though many other teams were doing so at that time
Harbaugh had a pocket passer in Flacco for years. Now he has a running qb in Jackson. He made the adjustment and is winning with him. Good coaches adjust and win. That’s what Shula did. He won no matter who he had out there. When he drafted Marino he had to change his philosophy and go pass heavy on offense. Never did that before.
Good coaches can take what they’re given and win.
Wow! Just saw a stat whilst watching the Browns vs Ravens. Mayfield has 19 TD’s and 0 INT’s in the red zone this season. That’s just fantastic. I can’t imagine what Tannehill’s is . . .
Who says whilst? I guess I do. lol
yea, its much more easy when u have a pro bowler record setting Jarvis landry as a wr..
i wish we could get qb and wr that good here
Uhhhhh, Landry has 3 TD’s total, and I’d be willing to bet they weren’t all from in the red zone, so Landry doesn’t really factor into that stat.
he has 4 tds. 3 before Mayfield.
How the hell did we ever beat Chicago?
this is a good read on what is going on in the FO
https://phinphanatic.com/2018/11/18/what-are-the-miami-dolphins-doing-ill-tell-you/amp/
Lots of weird stuff being said today. LOL
Ocala,
At 79 yrs old and rich as hell, I don’t think Ross cares how much losing Gase will cost. Especially, since the Dolphins organization is worth far more than when he bought it. Nagy has built a better team in one year than Gase in 3. Same with McVay and McVay’s team has continued to ascend while Gase had one ok year and two very poor ones. Gase has final say and three years to make his roster. He should have been more anxious to get it right in 3 years instead of 6. Maybe he learns his lesson.
i’m sure Ross would spend big for a guaranteed winner but who’s to say that changes will make this team better?
when all is considered money has a part in it also,
i’m just lost as to who we would get? Mike Mcarthy???maybe the Bengals coach?
are they upgrade and worth the expense or do you wait another year to let Gase play out, you reduce your $ hit and who knows he may pan out.
they’re are legit reasons why this team struggled
Lou – Shula never managed to find a defense or a RB while he had Marino though
I really hate the Vikings. I think they are a dirty team.
for example, I think they hurt Frank Gore on purpose.
Rejoice in the fact that they will be eliminated very shortly from the playoffs today.
when Landry left, i knew our offense would suck royally and it did even with tannehills return SMH
btw Lamar Miller had a great day too, Fins know how to blow player evaluations and retainment
Lou – Receiving TD’s. It would have to be a RECEIVING TD to count as part of that stat. Thanks!
Gase may one day be a great head coach. A lot of winning coaches have been fired from some other team before. It doesn’t take them out of contention for a new job with a new team. But he’s not a good coach now and I believe a big part of that is his own fault. I don’t see an offensive guru or QB whisperer. Time to move on.
I always tried to be supportive of Tannehill because he was our QB but I thought he was drafted way too early, he wasn’t a 3rd rounder much less 8th overall. Reportedly a good guy, but he’s not getting it done after all these years, it’s also time to move on.
Ross owns the team. He’s hopefully learning too because we aren’t getting rid of him. He seems willing to spend money on his team and he seems smart enough to not meddle in the football aspect. Hopefully he gets it right this time and gets a new FO that can turn this around.
Go Dolphins!
Nicely said Herd!
^^^
so Landry isnt helping the browns lmao i call bullshit Landry is the possession receiver you forgot; u cant get in the red zone unless u get first downs before, landry is a first down machine record breaking pro bowl receiever that also blocks and even makes passes for the browns. he is a huge part of their improvement, win 7 games instead of 1.
Landry got 220 first downs for Miami, dont remember? its in the history books to see
what did amendola wilson and parker do, landry is better than all 3 combined imo, more durable, talented, and keeps the offense on the field, something they cannot do
Go laugh your ass off – WTF does Landry have to do with Mayfield throwing 19 TD’s and 0 INT’s in the red zone when he didn’t catch any of them? If you could just pay attention to what people are saying, it would make replies more logical and relevant.
i always pay attention, and clarified you cant get into position to score, unless your offense can stay on the field with a first down machine like they have, and we no longer have,
he keeps the offense on the field with first downs, which of course sets the plate for others
browns arent a one man team, landry plays his role better than anyone else ever in the history of the game for us, and seems to be doing well for them too.
do we have any receivers that can get 55 first downs a year on our team> i dont see it, and its why we punt way too often, cant get td when you punt huh?
as much as u dont like, u or anyone else dont get to take Landry away from the browns success, because he is a huge part of it
If you read the article that Orob linked to above …
I think this is almost identical to what I think was the plan.
And it was a good plan,
until the last two games.
The way we lost to Jax and Buff was so unacceptable that it might have changed the plan.
which is why Ross is not talking and why he is looking nauseous.
Losing like that makes him question the plan.
So now he knows it is all on him to go hide
and re-evaluate everything including the Grand Plan.
If we had lost the last two but played well and looked respectable, …
but we didn’t.
We embarrassed ourselves.
this reminds me of when Jason Taylor went to the jets, alot of Miami fans said Taylor was no good, glad hes gone, etc lmao
its the nature of the beast, hate on the guy thats not here anymore, Taylor was Miamis best defender ever
David,
A good WR would have just scored in the Balt game. An average one would have been dropped at the 1…..
by that measure how did albert wilson do today?
The Harbaugh story was out last week from Florio
He was saying that the Ravens are not in fact “keeping Harbaugh” but the one year extension was more of a welcoming phone calls
Also stated that Miami was expected to be a player
Just sayin, don’t shoot the messenger lol
Mike E,
Make that 20-0. That’s what an elite QB looks like.
Yup – That really is impressive. I wanted Mayfield, but I didn’t think he would go #1, I thought he might fall to us, or close enough that we could move up and get him. Didn’t happen.
but landry getting tackled at the 1 doesnt mean Landry and the browns didnt win 7 games this year, they arent undefeated, granted, no one is.
but my point is he helped them win 7 games, a tackle at the one wasnt part of any point and is basically a different point
but no one can take away Landrys NFl records he set in Miami, if Landry wasnt good, he would not have broken the NFL records, nor make the pro bowl either
so a guy that breaks an all time record in the history of the NFL, isnt good> what about the thousands of other receivers records he broke, they all suck?
Landry is good but he’s not going to help you win a lot of games. He’s part of the offense but he’s not the be all and end all of the offense.
agreed, hes just the record setting first down machine we didnt have this year, and we punted too much and couldnt stay on the field or get many TDs even with Tannehills return. but Landry can score TD< he had 9 for us last year.
hey we can just keep punting, but punts suck, they are glorified turnovers
but he did help the browns win 6 more games than they did last year
dude, we led the league in 3 and outs when he was with the team. he was only targeted that much because he was in Miami with a mediocre qb like Tannehill who loves to throw 4 yd passes.
Landry played on a shit team,yea, Miami is a shitty team and franchise, tough to admit but its true
while he was breaking records with cutler moore and tannehill, other receivers wernt doing shit, thats on them
Landry had 22o first downs, and we sucked at 3 and outs?, sounds like the rest of the team were total slackers, wtf
Landry or anyone isnt a one man team, he did his role for us while others do not.
who helps win games, players that fulfill their roles, or slackers that dont?
that was directed at new age, who implied Landry isnt a good WR
Good grief, if Landry is all that much better than every other WR, the one player that makes a difference, why didn’t we win more games when he was here?
we did better last season with cutler, moore and Landry than we did this year with tannehill and wilson, go ahead and deny his pro bowls and records, i cant do it, it would be lies
denying a mans success doesnt change it, it just shows disrespect for a guy that gave his all for us imo
weren’t we 6-10 last year and 7-9 this year?
we didnt have tannehill the last season or part of the season before, he is our starter and supposed to be better than culter and moore, but Landry is the missing guy this year, wilson didnt do jak shit but a nice play or two, and gone for the rest of the season, he didnt break records and make the pro bowl, none of our receivers did
no one is a durable as Jarvis landry and lebron james, they are always there for their team while babies like Parker arent
Is that a catch by Landry?
yes it was.
nitpicking play by play in cleveland , doesnt erase his records in Miami.
how many catches did wilson have today, hes not durable like Landry is he
what nitpicking was that? I’m just reporting the game.
records don’t win championships and individual records mean nothing.
records prove that u do not suck, it proves you can accomplish something that no one else ever could do! and pro bowl appearances is also a sign of greatness.and league respect
i call bullshit that landry isnt good, because it is bullshit
im done arguing with bullshit, if u cant honestly remember what Landry did , go look it up on your own time
bad pass by mayfield
mayfield throws a pick to end the game
ravens win their division
Bucs fire Koetter
Now we have to wait at least another week for John Harbaugh
didn’t he just win his division and sign an extension? and bring on a new QB with a great future? Why would the Ravens fire him?
Did Mahomes just throw for 50 TDs?
David I’m not disrespecting Landry. I liked him when he was ON OUR TEAM. He isn’t now so he’s not a factor in discussing our team NOW. I fail to see what he has to do with the Dolphins now. There’s all kinds of what ifs that can be said and none of it matters. At some point you have to recognize he’s no longer on the team and let it go or go find a Browns blog to talk about Landry because that’s the team he’s on.
i have a right to answer other posters questions, and im no way disrespecting you doing so, other than to NOW say you are wrong if u think u get to tell me what to say, im not your puppet and never will be
i dont tell u what to say, but im not jumping to your beat no more than you do for me
btw i said i was ready to change the subject, but it was you that went back to Landry again not Me
LeBron is hurt and showed up to watch his team play with a glass of red wine.
If Koetter is out than so is Gase.
lets change the subject, Marino sucked when he broke records and made pro bowl appearances, right? SMH
thats the kind of shit u are asking me to accept? cmon man, thats not fair, lol Marino was GREAT for us, and we werent as good when he left either
same for Jason Taylor, he all of a sudden wasnt great when he left SMH
David – Not sure why I’m wasting by time, but the stat I brought up has nothing to with the volume of red zone attempts, just how well Mayfield performed in the red zone. It really has nothing to do with Landry at all. He threw 19 TD’s without an interception. Why you feel the need to throw Landry into the equation is mind boggling. He’s a way overpaid slot receiver, and that’s all he’ll ever be. He’s not here because the Browns paid him like a Michael Thomas or a Julio Jones, and he’s not worth 3/4 of what those make. Those guys are elite wideouts, Landry isn’t in their league, but he got paid like he is.
its mind boggling to Me why you think Landry isnt part of their success.
your stat about red zones, how do teams get in red zones, punting or first downs? Landry set the stage, first downs get U into position to score from the red zone, and of course, Mayfield did very well in the red zone stats
Fuck man, you just don’t read. That’s the problem
even on the plays Landry didnt catch a red zone pass, did he maybe throw a block, or at least take a db away from someone else? its a team sport, and Landry plays his role as first down machine for his team, we dont have a WR like that now, so of course it makes it much harder for usto stay on the field
I disagree mike Landry had to make catches to get Mayfield in the redzone didn’t he? I think Davids right, Landry is the best WR in the league if he can carry the Browns!
WOW! I talk to y’all tomorrow!
Armando is reporting that Rex Ryan has been calling a bunch of his guys who he’d want as assistants to guage their interest in joining him in Miami.
Dear gawd, maybe I was too hasty about Gase!?!?
😳
Please tell me you made that up….
nope. https://www.miamiherald.com/sports/spt-columns-blogs/armando-salguero/article223738365.html
Rob – I’m gonna strangle you at D&B’s next year, you better show! 🙂
LMAO!
I didn’t know we could assemble a Dolphins team with all these past players and put them on the field today. Damn, we could have had Marino and Jason Taylor playing all this time and didn’t? Why stop there? Bring em all into it. 😂
take that to another blog, lmao crazy stuff org or something do what i say now or else, lmao,
damn what a bitter person for New years/ have t troll the blog huh? try to have a happy new years, i know i will, and u dont get to tell me what to do or say, so screw off and happy new years or miserable new year if u prefer/ im out, u dont get to waste my time tonight Herd
maybe you bitter pills wont be so sour next year, good luck
David:
We have a simple rule on this bog: Don’t be an asshole. So I am telling you nicely to tone it down. We don’t have to all agree but just don’t be an asshole
Kirk Cousins is 4-24 against teams with a winning record.
Probably because he never had Jarvis Landry
LMAO
Herd doesn’t troll the blog. She RUNS the blog
well, we ended up with the #13 pick. hopefully, it’s a lucky #13.
It’s an omen
as long as it not an “Oh man!”
I know SB and his mittens will think so!
David is correct in that he said to change the subject, that would be AFTER the post of mine he is referring to, so he can be all upset or whatever, I didn’t bring Landry back into anything. What’s the point in discussing him at all is my point. I’m not in any way telling him what he can and can’t say. I’m saying I don’t get talking about players who are no longer on the team as if it makes a difference to us right now. You could play that game all day long, we could assemble a fantasy football team here for the Dolphins if that were the case. It’s not reality.
what do we have in common with the Bucs..Giant(maybe), the Jags, the Broncos (maybe and the Redskins?
They all may be looking to draft a QB.
bad news is they all draft in front of us.
I think the odds of getting a franchise QB in this draft is small. Much better and deeper QB class in 2020. Get the OL and DL in this draft. Trade what we can so we have draft capital of n 2020 and that is when we take our next shot at a franchise QB
Thing is, unless Haskins declares I don’t see any point in trying to draft a qb in the 1st rd. I think the better thing to do is grab a blue chip d-lineman and possibly a center or guard in the 2nd. Maybe try for Stidham or Blough and use a bridge guy for the year at qb. Build what you can instead of reaching and wasting more time on a 1st rd qb who’s not going to get it done.
Totally agree
herd runs the blog??? Well, now that I know who runs this place, I will be writing a sternly worded letter. Where do they sell those stamp things?
I know? I was surprised to read that too! I think it’s been on auto pilot for a while….
Yes, if you have any complaints, send them to Herd. She’s also head of the complaint department.
Yes, email them to the blog…..we have no idea what the password is to the email at the moment!
Bowles out
Koetter out
But Gase is still here.
other teams can fire their head coach but Miami has to have a better choice or they can’t do it
It will be announced by tomorrow
Lou – I agree – It looks like at this point, we should just grab a QB in the mid rounds this year, and then go for the gusto in 2020.
Also being reported is Joe Rose may have spilled the beans on Gase’s future saying “he’s gone” and “it’s over”.
With Bowles fired that now makes him a free agent. I wonder if Ross’s jet is heading for New York tonight?? After all, he’s available and, compared to either Harbaugh, he’s cheap! But there’s one problem: Bowles has prior experience as an NFL head coach!
Scratch that idea!!
Bowles sucks.
I can’t really think of anything Gase has done that would make me keep him.
He draws pretty pictures?
He is good at sitting by himself
Ugh now sexy Rexy wants the job, wonder if he’ll bring his brother and that wonderful hairdo
Sexy Rexy just wants a job period. I wouldn’t be upset if he was our DC, but HC, that can’t happen.
LOL… that is all.
When Tannehill got picked off at like the 40 or whatever and the DB went out of bounds, when did they start doing celebrations in the end zone with the entire defense and a coordinated celebration? They didn’t score. I thought that shit was all about TDs. The DB was waving his team to join him in the end zone for the celebration even after the play was dead. WTF was that?
I thought that should have been a taunting penalty
Yeah me too. It’s like nobody thought anything of it. I’ve never seen that before.
Do we pay Ju’Waun James???
No
https://www.spotrac.com/nfl/free-agents/miami-dolphins/
I think it has to be considered. It depends on how much and how many years. One thing I can guarantee is he’s going to get paid by some team if it’s not us.
I wouldn’t. I think he’s average and his durability hasn’t been good.
He is very inconsistent. At times he looks awesome and others he looks like a turnstile
Can you imagine Rex stepping foot on the Dolphins sideline
Well he has before and he likes him some foot. LOL
Part of the contract negotiations will be that Ross will have to install pedicure stations all over Hard Rock Stadium.
Finally I thought I was wasting my corny humor here for a moment
I think our 1st pick needs to be a DE if Haskins is gone. I would make another pick on D in the second unless Minchew is there in the second. Quinn is a one trick pony. Never seen him bull rush or try a spin move. He seems relatively easy to block because of this. OL seem to use his momentum against him and push him 7-8 into the backfield. Only sacks he gets are coverage sacks. We were stacked at DE to begin the season (on paper) now, IMO, it’s a glaring need.
Yeah Mike, he can’t bend and turn, it’s always this wide arc where he’s already past the QB, and he’s always swiping as he goes by. I think I’ve seen enough of that.
Keep in mind that James had Jesse Davis next to him all year long, and how much that affected James’ play. It really does make a difference when the guy next to you is whiffing regularly. I don’t think it’s a slam dunk that we don’t re-sign James. Look at the FA RT’s available in 2019 and tell me who you really want

LMAO @ FA RT’s . Ha!
I can’t believe Piggy hasn’t done an article with that title before. lmao
Give yourself a hand for that one
Bringing Rex here would probably increase the foot traffic at the stadium
Rex will make sure that the team puts its best foot forward
At least he will be thinking on his feet, and not sitting down doodling
Well it’s not certain he is coming here but at least he has his foot I. the door
LOL
Mike, Jesse Davis had nothing to do with James letting guys fly right past him. Like Ken said, at times he looks like a stud and other times he’s a turnstile. That’s average. I wish it wasn’t so but he’s not worth being paid big money. I think we can replace him much cheaper.
Maybe, but the play of the guy next you definitely can hurt you.
Especially if he stinks and farts. LOL
James said today that the offense had no identity and it was tough because they felt like they were just trying stuff to see if it worked rather than having a plan.
Rex puts the foot in football. You can’t make this stuff up. LOL
So . . . . . Which Free Agent that plays RT do you want? I gave you the list, who is it? Now dammit! lol
