The Dolphins management, coaching, ownership and fanbase is simply just as braindead as their QB. Miami should have tried to push Tua in a trade during the draft while his value was higher to a desperate team and undergone a sort of salary purge by trading away Hill and others for picks as part of a reset. Miami has not been able to consistently beat good teams with this group so purging and resetting would have made sense. A team like the Giants or Falcons or Broncos may have given up enough to them so they could get a QB and reset the past draft. However management, coaching, their fanbase, etc all thought they would win this year so here they are.

Panthers maybe. I can see that owner being that stupid to try to save Young as a project.....which means Dolphins get a good draft pick.

People who disagree really lack a proper understanding of McDermott's record in the context of NFL History. The Bills have beaten two teams led by backup QBS in the playoffs (Steelers and Dolphins), a washed up Philip Rivers Colts team, a Patriots team with Jones whose poor play led him to being kicked off the team and a Ravens team in a huge wind storm game that was very close where we beat Lamar Jackson. That Ravens win was great against a great team but the other playoff wins not so much. McDermott's defense meanwhile blew it against the Texas and Watson when we had the lead, blew against the Chiefs in the 13 seconds game (2021 season), and really blew it last year as the Bills offense did enough to win but our defense couldn't stop anything really for a good portion of the game (and people shouldn't use the injury excuse - the Patriots won a Super Bowl under Belichick with a wide receiver, Troy Brown, playing CB in 2003/2004ish because so many defensive players were injured and the Patriots made it to other Super Bowls to win with numerous injuries - Allen has played factually/statistically/eye test better than Brady in many playoff games but doesn't have the wins to support it due to our poorly coached defense). We got completely outclassed in another Chiefs playoff win in 2020 season and the Bengals in the 2022 season. When McDermott coached (and often picked) defensive players go up against competent offenses in the playoffs, they usually choke. Same story with Schottenheimer and Marvin Lewis. They padded their records during the regular season but choked against very good QBs in the playoffs (Elway, Kelly, Roethlisberger, Brady, etc). Belichick was known for crossing lines to win if necessary, which McDermott refuses to do so... During the Patriots/Colts playoff games in 2003/2004, Belichick had Patriot defenders mug/hold/interfere with Colts players every play knowing the refs wouldn't call it every time. McDermott could have had defenders just grab Chiefs players at the line, get the 5 yard penalty, and waste clock in the 13 second game to prevent that. Belichick frequently did little creative things to win, cross lines, and McDermott doesn't. Andy Reid does it and wins. Allen is good enough to get a Super Bowl, and has had record breaking post season games. The coaching is a huge issue.

13 seconds doesn't happen to a truly good coach. Belichick wins us that game. If McDermott gets us a Super Bowl, then I'll say he is truly very good/great. Right now he is Marvin Lewis/Marty Schottenheimer with a slightly better playoff record.

At least Hamlin fixed his K/D ratio last night......dudes a gamer to have come back from what he did and to make some impact plays this year.

Chiefs didn't for the most part when they won the super bowl the past two seasons.... let's aspire to be them and hold them up as the standard.

That fanbase celebrated Wilkins sexually assaulting Allen in the pile and guys like Milano getting hurt. So I am loving this karma.

I have Tua. He was one of our greatest weapons today.

Nice play Bishop!

The Marlins won a playoff series more recently than the Dolphins won a playoff game

I wonder what Bass did to piss Allah off. Thought Allah hated pigs. Not bass fish.

Maybe we are waiting until his second deal to get him on the cheap long term ...

Hope Tua medically retires and still gets the bag /shakes down the Dolphins for the next half decade. Dude needs to be in Hawaii with a flower necklace drinking mixed drinks and surfing with Tito. Not playing football

Dolphins fans were celebrating Milano and Johnson being out for this game and celebrated Wilkins sexually assaulting Allen in the past. Karma

Hopefully Thompson doesn't go out there and look great. Dolphins gotta be in hell for the next half decade imo
