Yep! Today, the Shitshow finally happened. No more pretending that Head Coach Mike McDaniel is an NFL Head Coach. No more deceit that Chris Grier can shop for the groceries to build an NFL roster. No more lies and stat throwing tantrums that QB Tua Tagovailoa is a Top 10, or even Top 20 QB at this juncture of his career. The Tua Tagovailoa Era, or Error as I like to say is over. It doesn’t matter if he starts the rest of the season, or he sits on the bench. If it were me, I’d have QB Quinn Ewers get all the starters reps in practice, let Tua take the leftover reps, start Tua, and maybe continue to allow Quinn to get 2nd half playing time. Wins and losses no longer matter right now. Let Quinn Ewers get playing time until he’s ready to start and he’s fully prepared to do that, as many weeks as it that takes.
There is not a single, solitary reason for Miami Dolphins owner not to fire the two people most responsible for the Shitshow that is the 2025 Miami Dolphins. GM Chris Grier and Head Coach Mike McDaniel. If one is fired, the other must go as well, these two are joined at the hip, neither is blameless. You can argue over who deserves it more, and I don’t care who you think that is, as long as both heads are on pikes come Monday afternoon. The Dolphins lost today 31-6 and looked as if they didn’t belong on the same field as a team with identical 1-5 records coming into this week.
De’Von Achane is lightyears better than any player on this team, that much is clear. He is truly the untouchable player on this roster as the trade deadline approaches, exactly 2 weeks and 2 days away. Part of the problem is none of our players are increasing in value as the play of this team has just bottomed out. The defense has been absurdly bad all season long, and DC Anthony Weaver might find himself out of a job as well, which I think is slightly unfair because Grier didn’t assemble the roster properly in the least. We have 1 DL you can say belongs as a starter, and then 2 rookies in LDE Kenny Grant and NT Jordan Phillips. They’re playing out of necessity, not because they’ve earned anything. Teams are running wild on us, and despite having a solid corps of interior linebackers of Jordyn Brooks, Tyrel Dodson, Willie Gay and K.J. Britt, our outside linebackers Jaelan Phillips, Bradley Chubb, and Chop Robinson haven’t pulled their weight. Both Phillips and Chub. are coming back from injuries. Chubb missed the entire season last year after an ACL injury late in 2023 sidelined him. Phillips was hurt in game 4, also an ACL injury, this after missing the last 9 games of 2023 with an achilles injury.
The O-line has been a maligned unit for so many years, and a favorite scapegoat of Tuaneers everywhere. It’s clear that Grier has been unable to find the correct players on the offensive line, despite many picks, two big trade ups and a big free agent signing just about every season. Liam Eichenberg was the first OL that got Grier to overspend draft capital with a tradeup in 2021, sending the 50th pick in RD 2 as well as 2022 3rd RD pick to take Eichenberg at #42. The next O-line tradeup was this year, with Grier trading their #48 pick in RD 2 and the #98 pick in RD 3 as well as a 4th RD pick #135 to get pick #37 and a 5th RD pick #143 to draft Arizona OG Jonah Savaiinaea. The fact that Savaiinaea is rated as one of if not the worst OG in the league at the moment should be enough grounds to fire Grier if you include that DT Kenny Grant is also rated among the worst DT. Then you look at our record at 1-6, and even worse, turning on the TV or spending hard cash to go to the game at Hard Rock to watch this shitshow!
Will Miami Dolphins Owner Stephen Ross be able to do what must be done? That’s the big question, because some of us here have felt for quite some time both deserved to be fired, but today’s dumpster fire of a performance from the entire team today has to have cinched it, right? Stay tuned!
FIRE GRIER, FIRE McDANIEL !!!!
Finsmob Unleashed 
I don’t know how the loss to the Jets under Gase was any worse than this. If McDaniel isn’t gone by Monday, I bet the paying fanbase folds like a paper mache house in a hurricane. How could anyone pay to watch what happened today? How could you look in the mirror and say you didn’t waste time and money? You could sit in a Buc-ees bathroom on your phone for three hours and find more enjoyment than watching this team. Which Jersey is worth buying? Achane, sure but why would you buy it? Why would you admit to others that you’re a Dolphins fan at this point? For pity? This should be the final straw.
Not Gase, Philbin.
New Age – Attendance at Hard Rock will be waaaaaay down. If they don’t fire both of these clowns, who would waste a Sunday, Thursday, Monday Night, or ANY FUCKING DAY watching this shitty product Grier and Co. have created?
We need a bunch of people at each entrance of the stadium handing out paper bags at our next home game. Let’s set the record for most paper bags worn in a single game. LOL
LOL – They wanted a “White out”, all white jerseys for one of our games this season. We should have a “Bag out”, all paper bags on our heads. Awesome!
BBM just woke up and decided to check scores. BBM going back to bed.
Did anyone see Quinn Ewers drop a 42 yard dime to WR Dee Eskridge off his back foot with a pass rusher right in his face? That pass alone makes me want to see Quinn Ewers get playing time each and every week for the rest of the season.
that pass could have just as easily been picked off Mike. It actually looked like it ping ponged into Eskridges arms
I thought considering the pressure in his face and the backfoot throw it was pretty darn accurate Bri and I’m not changing my mind! So there! 😤
“A bag out” 🤣
I think you have to bench Tua no matter what
6 interceptions in 2 games is miserably bad
I have no faith Ewers is going to get us wins – but you just can’t give Tua the nod to play
I don’t really want to see anyone fired yet. I think it’s pointless. The season is lost already. May already like McDaniel coach through November
if there is a future coach out there – you can engage in talks now
Ross is a fool for giving McDaniel an extension when he did. Now he is going to pay to be on the way out
Just like all the other coaches he’s paid…
also – it would be great if Tua can figure out how yo say the right things
but to play as bad as he has played and to create off field distractions is wild stuff
Did he say anything today after this game?
I didn’t watch – I was referring to last week
I saw a clip where he said” it starts with me “ which is true but he should need to fall on his face so much to figure it out
So did Mike McDaniel pull Achane for his safety or because Tua no longer needed his “precious”? I noticed Jaylen Wright came in when Ewers came in
my guess is he thought it was garbage time anyway
Is Grant still on the team?
Kenny Grant? He had 5 tackles and a sack believe it or not
I have think Phillips got that sack- he was in the area. Good to hear he had five tackles – he needs to step up.
I think it was credited as a tackle for a loss – not a sack
Piggy’s right – Grant had 5 tackles, one of them a TFL
we actually held them to 204 yards of offense
the browns offense is horrible so take that with a grain of salt but the defense didn’t get run over today
WOW!!! Jaxson Dart with the TD to beat the Broncos! Broncos have lost some really tough games this year
A bit hasty on the win there. Giants miss the extra point and Broncos have 37 seconds to get a game winning FG
Make that 33 seconds
If Stephen Ross is going to fire both, when do you think we’ll hear about it?
I don’t think they’ll fire Grier in season. MM, no clue. Could be tomorrow, could be in January.
And there it is, game winning FG for the Broncos. Giants K Graham Gano was injured and Giants missed 2 extra points and lose 33-32. Brutal loss. Broncos are 5-2
the Giants were up 18 with a little over five to go. The Broncos score all 33 points in the fourth quarter.
Crazy! Both QB’s played their hearts out and stepped to give their teams the lead in the end. Stats don’t matter.
33 the magic number. 33 points and the game winning drive in 33 seconds
Tua stans on Twitter burning their membership cards! What a great day!! 🙃
Call Bo Nix garbage all you want. His team is 5-2 and the 2 losses were by a total of 4 points, 1 point to the Colts and 3 points to the Chargers. Also, both those losses were on the road.
Who calls him garbage? I like him. Both he and Dart have a lot of moxie. Both make it obvious that we need to draft a QB next season. Doesn’t have to be our 1st pick, but we need to upgrade. Maybe Ewers turns out to be a player, we’ll see. Even if he is, you still draft a QB
Mike E
That Ewers pass you talking about…did you notice the trade up G that got absolutely demolished in his protection? I really dont know what this staff is watching out there. Same thing different week.
I knew they’d lose, but man….this is the game all the defenders used to say it’s beavuse of this or that….
One last rant….only one person in that entire stadium wearing designer shades the entire game. Maddening.
Of course, but it has to be Tua for the QB pressure to count! LMAO!
ER – Jonah is a big reason why if just McDaniel gets canned, I’m gonna lose my shit. I love Brian in NY, he’s a smart guy but to think that Grier needs to be here to make any trade decisions before the trade deadline. I’d trust a hot dog vendor more than Grier. I’m sure there’s an executive in place in this organization thst could handle that
Team is done. Just going through the motions. Not sure how long until Ross pulls the plug.
There’s plenty of candidates that can run this mess better than Grier and Capri McD
MM after the game:
“We found a different way to undo our game (on Sunday). There’s a lot of guys that will have an important work week because if you are negatively effecting the football team routinely, I don’t have a choice but to assess a different player, and I have to coach a lot better as well. So we’re going to find out who and what we’re made of.”
—————
MM throwing down the gauntlet about a year and a half too late, lol.
Will he include himself as as someone who is negatively affecting the team?
I heard it was pretty bad today. I opted to be South Dakota pheasant hunting.
We know what you’re made of! Straw, that’s what Grier built this team with
@SmolaDS
Last 5 lead RB rushing lines vs. Dolphins:
19-108-1
14-81-0
23-206-1
18-124-0
25-84-3
Next 3 RBs to play the Dolphins:
Bijan Robinson
Derrick Henry
James Cook
the problem with Ewers playing is you don’t want to scare him for life with this train wreck
his pocket presence isn’t good enough to survive
Ewers isn’t tge answer, but he might an ok backup (his ceiling)
fans need to take a stand and not show up for the game, even if they have season tix
strongly doubt Ross fires MM any time soon
the jets suck too, but they don’t lose like we do, they don’t have units that can’t get out of their own way
No way we win another game with MM
Tua seems uninterested, he got his money
he’ll have to leave Miami, as he won’t be able to go out in public
Mike E,
I just don’t think it’s realistic to think that we are going to fire Grier, bring a GM in to make trades in the next two weeks- that’s just not going to happen IMO. I don’t trust Grier making the picks, but he’s done a good job in the past of acquiring them, and then fucking them up of course. The trade up for Waddle still kills me.
we could’ve gotten Davonta Smith or Parsons, both whi were on our
…radar
Correct. Philly took Smith and got an extra first.
I stopped watching, just before half, from what I saw Clev was gifted 10pts by the refs, then 7 more from Eskridge
you’ve got a team that’s pressing, trying to do too much individually, then you compound it by horrible calls
even the play before Cleveland’s 1st fg, their was O PI not called, would’ve been declined, but it was the flavor of the moment by zebras
Hey, I’ll work about 20 hours a week for a million or two a year. Hire me! It can’t be any harder than being a fan of this team since 1982! Fuckers owe me.
Rule #1 of being a good GM is not trading up in the first 3 rounds unless it’s for a QB. It’s common sense, and there’s lots of evidence of lower round talent providing similar results outside of QB. Grier is such a moron that he trades up for RB….which is the most easily filled position on a football team. That should have gotten him fired right there. You don’t trade up for a RB. That’s just stupid. Aborigine levels of stupid. Dude should be waxing floors, not picking NFL talent.
Dave Gettleman picked Saquan Barkley with the 2nd pick instead of Josh Allen. Dude never had a winning squad. Grier’s better than Gettleman but still extremely incompetent. You just don’t do certain things….like trade up for a RB before the late picks.
I can’t remember which channel I was watching the draft on but there was a former GM doing the commentary. That GM, who was fired from his job, even said that was a bad move. Not the pick, but trading up for a RB.
We haven’t even used him but you can find serviceable RBs in the 6th round or later. Ollie can vouch for that. I wouldn’t even draft Saquan before maybe pick #20? And he’s my second favorite RB drafted the past 20 years. Maybe third, I love some Derrick Henry. I have to be a playoff worthy team before I have the spare room to pick an expensive RB.

Who calls him garbage?
——–
Someone on here when I was posting about him during when he was in the draft. No worries.
We never know how these guys will really turn out in the NFL anyway.
RB’s taken after the Jalen Wright trade up:
Bucky Irving
Will Shipley
Isaac Guerendo
Braelon Allen
Rasheen Ali
Tyrone Tracy
Kimani Vidal
What’s sad is only Shipley and Ali have had worse careers so far. Wright hasn’t hit 250 yards yet.
Ali was injured last year also and behind Derrick Henry.
Shipley is behind Saquon Barkley.
New Age – That’s the thing, we’ll kind of never know the truth about the Grier/McDaniel synergy. Was Grier just shopping for McDaniel, getting him what he wanted, were they in agreement, or was it Grier flying solo? You’d have to think it looks much more like Grier flying solo because if McDaniel wanted Wright so badly that he made Grier trade up for him, why only give him 68 carries? He was active and came into the game yesterday at the end but still hasn’t registered a carry.
New Age – Jaylen Wright was drafted in RD 4 (Pick#120), but we traded our 2025 3rd RD pick to get him. I watch Atlanta play because I have Bijan Robinson on my FF team. Robinson is better than Achane, but Tyler Allgeier who was taken in RD 5 (Pick #151) in 2022 has more than half the carries Bijan Robinson gets. You can see the way he uses Ollie Gordon, most times it’s just one carry and off the field he goes. This from a run game coordinator???
We wasted a 3rd to get him so he’s definitely not a normal 4th round pick. If we had gotten him at our normal 4th round spot, I wouldn’t have minded it nearly as bad. We wasted a 3rd on the dude, when we have holes everywhere. We used a 3rd on Achane already to fill a RB spot so picking another one high is idiotic. RBs are the least impactful position on the offense today with running QBs everywhere.

Guilty of checking the news wire at least 50 times this morning. I want them FIRED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I just want to know why Wright hasn’t been used. If you assessed him and valued him that much during the draft process, why aren’t you using him in the way you envisioned using him? What happened?
MM say: “…growth without results is a good thing for your time.”
Says who? How do you know you’re growing if you have zero results? What the hell does this even mean? I can’t wait until this guy is gone. What a putz.
Our DC says he was “really proud of the effort of our guys”. WTF?
We’re still handing out participation trophies, how sweet!
Capri McD and Grief hang on to their jobs for at least another week.
Per Rapsheet (Ian Rapaport).
Absurd!! Think about it, what do they have to do (or not do) to make Ross realize this team is garbage?
The only way McDaniel gets fired is if the stadium is empty and no one is watching. I’m doing my part.
I saw somewhere on social media Ross is offering $5 ticket day for low income folks. This really comes off in a bad way to me, he is trying to not have empty seats, pretend this isn’t a 💩 show? Plus, what about parking and concessions that no low income person can really afford.
Can guarantee if we were doing well he wouldn’t be making this offer.
Thank you, Mike E.!!!
Funny…..the pool bar where I watched the game with other suffering Dolphin fans, at some point, I shook by head and stated out loud for everyone to hear, “This is a SHITSHOW!” Lol….
Ha! It sure is!
Keep giving them more rope…lol
I find your job offensive either way MM
“The way I look at this job is I find it very offensive to all parties involved if I’m thinking about having the job — I need to be doing my job,” McDaniel said. “So, for as long as I coach for the Miami Dolphins and this organization, they’ll get everything from me. And I refuse to spend my time thinking about [my job security]. … You have a job, you do your job and you do it to the best of your ability.
“That’s where my concern lies. I think it’s offensive to all coaches, players and the organization if I’m spending that precious time thinking about myself.”

Absurd!! Think about it, what do they have to do (or not do) to make Ross realize this team is garbage?
Perhaps he does. He got docked draft picks for tanking last time. Why go through that BS when he can just keep doing what they are doing and come out with the same results.
I doubt very much that he will lose fans because he “refuses” to fire MM mid season. If he does they will most likely come back if he can pick winners this time at GM and HC.
Just keep on the same path and we will organically get that high draft position without “tanking” and losing said draft picks as punishment.
Damn! It happens so seldom, but I HAT BEING RIGHT!
I’m seeing much discussion on Twitter/X about what’s wrong with Tua this season, and nobody seems to understand.
When he had his best season in ’23, he was ‘Shredded Tua’ (or some would say ‘Fat Tua). He wasn’t injured the entire season and he was bombing the football for 55+ air yards before it was caught.
In ’24, Capri McD and the Grief Man decided to make Tua a scrambler again. That caused yet another concussion (scrambled eggs), a hip injury, and a serious lack of arm-power compared to ’23.
Here we are in ’25, asking Tua to become ’23 Tua again… and they didn’t want him to regain his former ’23 weight/strength again, yet still have scrambler ability but duck ASAP.
The concussions have caught up to Tua (IMO), he doesn’t have any strength in his arm (see ’23 Tua), he’s still trying to recover from his hip-injury from last season, and he still operates behind one of the worst O-Lines in the NFL.
It’s over for Tua, IMO… and you can blame Capri McD and the Grief Man for his sudden fall from glory… much like one can blame Mike Shanadouche for RG3’s early demise.
Damn shame.
Man, he was never shredded. He had an innertube. Fat Tua was fat
The Grief Man (Chris Grier) is seriously entering Jeff Ireland territory, IMO. And Capri McD is seriously entering Adam Gase territory, IMO.
And a great part of it is the total mismanagement of Tua, IMO.
M – I’m 100% sure the main reason for 2023 Tua’s success was the cheat motion. No one could stop it, I remember him lobbing up bombs that only Tyreek could get to. Then in addition to not allowing the cheat motion they played 2 deep safeties and Tua was afraid to challenge it because he doesn’t have enough zip on the ball past 15-20 yards.
Regarding Tua:
“He’s gonna take the snaps this week and he’s gonna be our starter this week and my expectation is that we don’t throw 10 picks,” McDaniel said.
——–
I guess MM is ok with anything less than 10 picks. SMH
MM is such a buffoon.

————-
I disagree with that, Mike E. Why? Tua wasn’t laboring to throw it 50 yards in the air in ’23. Today? He looks as though it physically HURTS him to throw it 20 yards in the air.
There’s something wrong with Tua himself, not the play-calling or the cheat-motion. Again, JMO.
And I’ll state this as well: Capri McD KNOWS what’s going on with Tua. He just won’t come out and say it.
So I’ll say it for Capri McD: Tua’s been shell-shocked by concussions, he doesn’t have the arm he had in ’23 because we asked him to shed the weight in order for him to scramble, and the Grief Man still hasn’t provided any semblance of an O-Line for Tua to operate behind.
The hip injury Tua sustained late last season is still lingering, and he can’t drive his weight into his passes.
The way MM babies players with boo boo’s, I don’t think he’s playing injured. I mean, he sat on the bench when we had a shot at a WC. Now, we are 1-6 and he is still playing hurt? I don’t buy it.
I very seldom (if ever!) disagree with ya, BBM. But in this case, I must. Tua isn’t right.
He’s damaged goods.
I think I’m more upset that they haven’t traded anyone yet vs dumping Grier and MM. Let them continue to suck at their jobs so we get a better draft pick, but trade some players now before they get hurt.
M – I’m just explaining why Tua was great in 2023. That was a huge boost, having Hill and Waddle running towards the LOS and blowing by defenders and getting separation. I agree that Tua is injured, probably his hip which won’t allow him to get torque generated from his trunk
M, I can see your point. Maybe they feel this hip thing is always going to be there whether they rest him or not. Either way, I think we can all see this is not the same Tua.
AND, not making excuses for Tua at all, but this has to be the worst OL assembled since he has been here.
Why should CG be fired?
Why do you need a better OL since Tua gets rid of the ball so quick so we don’t need an OL to hold their blocks? To protect him when he doesn’t? Lol.
Why do we need depth on the OL? We can always find plenty of Injured OL, to plug holes and …..
Why do we let our own drafted players earn the right to FA? Do we have a vision for our investments, our drafted players?
Have we found or do we have excellent evaluators of talent in our scouting/personnel department or are we failing due to blind loyalty and nepotism?
Does he have the experience or ability to evaluate qualities that are needed to be a HC? Or, is his evaluation limited to finding a personality fit for the moment?
Are the pieces he is responsible for obtaining (buying the groceries) sufficient for not only current year success but preventing the cupboards from going bare?
Why oh why is draft capital not valued?
I would start here! Lol.
Why should MM be fired?
Not only has he lost the team, he really is no leader of men.
He obviously has no answer when someone defies him, quits on him or breaks his rules as he doesn’t hold anyone accountable for breaching their contracts with each other or the team.
He has a huge blindspot when it comes to his direct in-game performance as a coach. Plays get in late, he wastes TOs and challege flags every fucking game, he never adjusts the game plan to the opposing teams adjustments (that’s fucked…lol).
He doesn’t know how to find/get good coordinators/field generals that can teach snd execute winning game plans.
Then, the offensive genius of his HC side teaches an offense to one QB…brilliant.
Lol
Why Tua is not part of any future success as a Dolphin?
Lol…he is fragile! Not only in body, but mind.
He was injured multiple times in college and it’s never changed except for the worse…lol…but we paid him….lol and back to why CG and MM should be fired.
He is broken beyond repair. He can’t even admit, as a leader, that he is partly to blame for this shitshow.
He has lost the team, the locker room.
I know! I know! Because he sucks!
I wonder if Tua’s lack of throwing strength has anything to do with his past injuries with his hip.
I am leaning toward that
You don’t throw a lot of deep bombs against 2 high safety looks. A defense that keeps everything in front of them also aren’t as affected by all the motion stuff.
Woohoo Jays !!
An MRI revealed that Waller has a strained pectoral muscle and not a fully torn pec. The injury will not require surgery and coach Mike McDaniel suggested there’s a good chance he will miss Miami’s two games next week — Sunday at Atlanta (1 p.m., CBS 4) and Oct. 30 against Baltimore.

No way!!! LOL. I knew he wasn’t going to last. He had a short fairy tale shelf life
Damn, I was thinking we could have traded him also the way he was playing.
One less team needing Edge help

62% of Tua’s passes haven’t traveled 10 air yards (44 behind the line of scrimmage). But on throws of 10 to 19 yards, he has six touchdowns, six interceptions and a poor 75.2 passer rating, per PFF. Frankly, a cheaper player on a rookie contract should be able to do that.
Facts are facts
That’s MM’s play calling though
DE Bryce Huff (hamstring) is also expected to miss a couple weeks, per Shanahan.
———
He was their second best pass rusher after Bosa. If Grier doesn’t trade one of our edges before the deadline, it’s going to be another crime he’s committed.
49er’s are projected to have pick 94 in the 3rd right now but also projected to have up to four 4th round picks.
I was watching the Lions/Bucs game last night. They talked about and showed the picks the Lions GM made in the mid rounds over like the last 3 years. It was almost astronomical on all the players he hit on.
Commanders need some serious DE help as they have lost 3 DE’s to IR and now lost a 4th for the season.
The can have their pick, including Sieler
Commanders are limited on draft picks though. Have no 2nd or no 4th round picks.
Mike – It’s MM’s play calling knowing Tua can’t fucking throw the ball, and can’t run. Get rid of the ball quick, and throw it to a place you can reach (LOL!)
Yep, just added that to that post. lol
Also, Bucs may have lost OLB/Edge Haasan Reddick for a few games with a knee/ankle injury.
Bucs have one pick for each round next year.
Talking about the Lions GM, their starting LG was drafted in the 6th round last year and their starting RG Tate Ratledge was drafted in the 2nd round this year. Not a lot of experience there but they are playing their asses off. Yeah, Ratledge is playing between Glascow and Sewell, but if you watch the games, he is holding his own and blowing DL and LB’s up in the run game. He’s a beast.
I know a few of us was mocking Tate Ratledge to us this year, but the year before, I and others had mocked LG Christian Mahogany to us as well on day 3.
Our GM really sucks.
Yeah, I do 50 million mock drafts, but if I go back to all my final mocks drafts, we would have the best OL in the NFL.
Not because I know anything about OL play, I don’t but still learning (BBM going to “Ryder” University, lol).
The reason being is I actually made the picks but Grier doesn’t. Instead, he goes and gets the shinny toys for the kid in the capris.
There are about half a dozen rookie guards playing well this year.
You can’t expect a guy who required a 2nd AND 3rd RD pick to be good. It’s just not fair!!!
and swap of a 4th
Tate Ratledge 2nd (66.6), Dylan Fairchild 3rd (45.1), Wyatt Milum 3rd (N/S), Jalen Rivers 5th (31.3), Marcus Mbow 5th (46.2), Jackson Slater 5th (N/S), Miles Fraizer 5th (N/S), Bryce Cabeldue 6th (59.5), Luke Newman 6th (69.7) , Hayden Conner 6th (N/S), Garrett Dellinger 7th (N/S), Connor Colby 7th (49.1) , John Williams 7th (N/S) were all taken AFTER Jonah Savaiinaea (26.8) and while Milum, Slater, Fraizer, Conner, Dellinger and Williams have not taken a snap in a game yet, THEY ARE ALL BETTER than the WORST GRADED PLAYER IN THE HISTORY OF PFF GRADES.
Savaiinaea’s run block grade is only 40.4, but his pass block grade is wait for it…..2.1 There are no numbers missing there. 2.1 is the total pass block grade.
All those other guards are at least not hurting their teams on the bench.
Could have drafted better with a dart and a blindfold!!
The numbers in parentheses is the PFF overall grade. N/S = Not enough snaps to evaluate.
Actually the lowest PFF grade for ONE game ever was awarded to Ryan Ftizpatrick in a game when he threw SIX interceptions.
I had posted Bryce Cabeldue 6th (59.5) as a day 3 option.
I thought the passing grade was a typo when I first read it…lol
Lmao…now MM throwing shade at Tua
https://x.com/i/status/1980337909791355041
His “10 picks” comment was a clear dig at the Dolphins’ starter. McDaniel has always liked to exaggerate on some level in his attempt at humor in his years as Miami’s head coach. And while it could be considered funny in his first couple of years when the team was winning, when you’re losing — and badly — the tone comes off quite different. So even though 10 interceptions in one game isn’t realistic, it’s important to note that Tua does have 10 picks on the season already, tied for the most in the NFL.
He must not be showing up at the player-only meetings on time…lol.
if everything that can go wrong this season has actually gone wrong and we are stuck in this Murphy’s Law merry-go-round
I’m almost sure everything that can go wrong will go wrong in the firing and hiring process too
I suspect they will do a clean slate type of starts with a new GM and HC
but I really don’t think Ross has any idea what is going on
if he tries to hire a new football czar type, that opens the door for another Parcels or Saban to exploit and absentee owner and then the new hires will also take advantage of the autonomy from an absentee owner
I know many have criticized Ross over the years – and it’s easy to be dismissive bc the owner of the Dolphins is pretty much out of our control
but wow – his weaknesses as an owner are on full display in this game 2025 debacle
I have no faith he’s going to “get it right” this time bc I dint think the issue is Ross is picking the wrong people – I think Ross is the wrong person
He’s not running the show – he’s hoping some one helps him run the show, and the people he keeps surrounding himself with just exploit his lack of connection to the team
we would be in much better shape if some one with a vested interest in the ownership of the team was at least supervising his own hired instead of waiting for things to go wrong
not sure if anyone call Steve, but there’s a lot of buzz regarding the Dolphins trading for Shadeur Sanders
already posted. Wtf autocorrect!
Maybe Cleveland is stupid enough to trade for Tua
Sure, let’s bring that circus to town, why not?
LOL, the circus has BEEN in town since 2009!
😂
Sanders is awful, can’t read a D, kinda like Tua
Pigster, for you…

NEW: Inside Stephen Ross’ Dolphins family ownership set-up for the future, and the key figures that you should know https://miamiherald.com/sports/nfl/miami-dolphins/article312288152.html And details on the deterrent that would make Ross think twice about selling.
so Ross wants to keep it in the family..:.
Anyone know what Jennifer Ross looks like and whether she’s single?

^ WATCH THIS
Incognito sighting!
We need 5 Incognito(s) on the OL!!!
What’s really nice is that when I go on “X” now, Tua is catching some serious shit right now, and has been since Sunday. His staunchest supporters have turned on him. it’s about fucking time! You can love him and at the same time realize he’s not it. It finally happened!
I don’t want to talk politics, just wonder with no detail, if our NYers support Mamdani?
the officiating in the NFL has been very 1-sided from game to game, at least they’ll show a replay
NBA season just started, first controversial call comes with no replay, which has been typical for many years now
only time they show a controversial call is, when there’s a challenge or ref is reviewing it
they will show a replay, if they got the call correct
I should’ve said what looks like a bad call isn’t replayed
13 days to trade deadline
Imagine we stay put and don’t trade anyone. Can we fire Chris Grier immediately after?
This is what I believe will happen. Grief is not going to set up his replacement. I will bet you that they pay Hill to walk next season and Jaelan Phillips earns his right to Free Agency and we keep Chubb.
anyone want to bet me?
I wouldn’t bet on this disOrganization to do anything right, so no, I won’t bet you
Same here, ain’t taking that bet.
I really hate this team anymore and I blame the dumbass owner, Ross. I wish he would take a long walk off a short pier!!! He take his entire family with him.
^can take
Waller to the IR. 🤣 This organization is the best comedy I’ve ever seen. The laughs keep coming.
3 games, 10 rec, 117 yds, 4 tds
$2 million
He was only 2 TDs away from an additional 750k incentive- oh so close.
Well, it’s a “Good thing” that he was here otherwise we would not have won the Jet’s game….Where would we be then? Oh….in first place for the #1 pick? Danmnit!
John Harbaugh might be available 🙂
F’ing spoiled ass Ravens fans want Harbaugh gone. In 6 out of the last 7 seasons they made the playoffs, 3 playoff wins to 6 losses.
In those 6 losses, the Ravens turned the ball over 15 times. I guess that is Harbaughs fault.
Looks like they brought up Dulcich from the PS to replace Waller.
Would have preferred Rucci to help the run game but I guess they went with the one who is a better receiver.
I find it a little odd that none of the OL on IR who don’t have what are considered season ending injuries have even hit the 21 day practice window yet as bad as this OL is. Eichedberg isn’t even on IR, but nothing on him. Crickets.
Eichenberg isn’t on IR?? What is he on the active roster!!?
Wow, I just looked it up. He is still on the PUP list so after the first four weeks of the season they have a 5 week window to activate him and then a 3 week window of practice where he can be activated or stay on PUP for the rest of the year. So week 9 they have to activate him or he doesn’t play this year.
**activate him for practice for the 21 day review period.
https://www.cbssports.com/nfl/news/agents-take-tua-tagovailoa-dolphins-release-salary/
I read this article twice. I still don’t understand anything except that the Dolphins are FUCKED by CG.
Yeah, I mentioned that a while ago. We are fucked if releasing him next year.
What scenario’s they don’t give is the money breakdown if we trade Tua. He is tradable and that would negate a lot of the base salary. Tua could be traded as early as now and clear money.
His shitty play has nixed that potential option though. Maybe that is why they didn’t add it to their scenario’s in the article.
Which is better “for the team”: getting rid of Tua as fast as possible in whichever way is most beneficial to the team or saving money and keeping him on the team?
He’s toast on this team. He has played like shit and then throws his teammates and his coach under the bus. His own coach….who has been his biggest supporter has thrown him under the bus. There is no fucking way it’s positive for him to be on this team. Get rid of him…take the hit…but they won’t.
The sad thing is Tua isn’t even worth a draft pick to another team. This organization is basically crap at this point.
I would give Ross’s left nut to snatch up Harbaugh as our coach.
I’d love to see that happen, man, but I highly doubt it. The Ravens are a world-class organization and they aren’t going to part ways with John Harbaugh just because Lamar has been out for the majority of this season: they are a perennial playoff team.
I feel the same way about the Stealers*… world-class organization and they aren’t suddenly going to fire Mike Tomlin over a bad season (Tomlin has never had a losing season in his HCing career).
Ravens and Stealers* fans are spoiled brats… kind of like we used to be under Don Shula.
But allow me to agree with ya! I’d give Ross’ left nut as well to land John Harbaugh!
I’m with ya, extremely unlikely.
If this organization actually moves on like they should and once again bring in a rookie HC. Somebody like Chris Shula would at least bring some hope back. Hes doing a pretty good job in LA and I wouldn’t mind a defensive HC.
Chris Shula is a VERY hot commodity right now! 2 years in LA and he’s turned that Defense around, big time. I agree with ya, ER.
VERY good call!
I’m still of the opinion that Ross needs to hire somebody who is experienced, tried, and successful… somebody who has enough experience to form a solid coaching staff. To me, that guy is Steve Spagnuolo (DC, Chefs*). 16 years in the NFL as either a DC or a HC.
https://www.pro-football-reference.com/coaches/SpagSt0.htm
The hope would be that he has connect to a very good OC somewhere out there. He could be our HC and DC.
Of course, if the Chefs* are going deep into the post-season again this year, we won’t get the chance to interview him until very late.
We have exactly ONE (1) INT all season long: S Minkah Fitzpatrick.
Had we not used a 3rd rounder this past Draft to trade up for Big Jonah, we could have had my man Xavier Watts in the 3rd round… TWO (2) INTS this season as a rook.
Tua vs Xavier Watts, this Sunday at 1:00 PM EST.
And? Our horrific run-Defense vs. Bijan Robinson (5.4 YPC), this Sunday at 1:00 PM EST.
NOT LOOKING GOOD! LOL
so Waller is on the IR now
what an absolutely horrible signing – paired James Daniels playing 3 snaps this season, it was about as bad as an offseason as a FO can have
I know he pulled off a couple of good games, but I never thought he’d last. Stupid gambles. Grier absolutely must GO! If Ross keeps him on as GM he just doesn’t give a fuck!
As someone who almost lost his left nut, I think that’s cruel. Take Ross’s head for John Harbaugh
