They were playing against Daniel Jones and a hobbled Malik Nabers. You would have thought they were scared of getting beat deep by Mahomes and Tyreek Hill with how far off they were playing

Evero is such a pussy. Were playing Daniel Jones not Tom Brady

Hes been a top 5 back this year its hard to be mad keeping him locked down

He looked completely fine with us until CMC got hurt

Cam explained this on his pod and caught a lot of flack because people think game manager is a negative label there's game managers and game changers. The players like Mahomes, Josh Allen, and Lamar Jackson that can carry an entire offense and it's on their shoulders to win the game a game manager is tasked with not losing the game. get the ball to your playmakers and dont turn the ball over. some do it better than others

We were spoiled by mccaffrey and people look at him as a downgrade without acknowledging every RB in the NFL would also be a downgrade from mccaffrey

Dont disagree at all. In hindsight like I said Teddy should have played out his 3 year deal the mistake was thinking we were sitting on a gold mine on young talent (which wasnt necessarily wrong) and thinking simply upgrading the QB position would immediately make us contenders. I think Chinn looking like a future hall of famer his rookie year and Burns having his breakout year made them think they didnt need a rebuild anymore

2019 - Firing Rivera was the right choice. His tenure had clearly run its court 2020 offseason - Luke retired. Cam had a lot of question marks and a lot of his money coming due. I didnt agree with releasing him and still don’t but it was at least understandable. Rebuild was coming and he hired a college coach that successfully rebuilt 2 dead college programs. Signed a decent QB that was never intended to be long term answer but was a game manager and was familiar with the offense 2020 season - By all accounts the team over-performed. We were expected to be the worst team in football but were pretty much in every game. This was despite our best player CMC missing the bulk of the season. Draft picks like Chinn looked like stars and Brown at least looked the part. Burns had a solid year. Robbie Anderson and DJ Moore with Samuel looked like a very good receiving corps for the future. The clear flaw on the team looked to be Teddy. Which brings us to… 2021 offseason - We look to have a very solid young core of players, but looks like we need to upgrade the QB position if we want to contend. We trade for a talented QB in Darnold who at the time seemed to be a victim of being in the QB graveyard with the Jets. Relatively low risk move since it only requires a 2nd round pick. Draft the best corner in the draft as we are in a division with Tom Brady still and one of our biggest problems the year before was getting off the field on 3rd down 2021 - Start 3-0. Darnold looks good. Defense looks elite. Burns and Reddick are a nightmare for QBs and secondary looks stout with Horn immediately looking elite. Team looks ready to compete and starts making “win now” moves like trading for Henderson and Gilmore. CMC gets hurt and the wheels fall off Darnold. Horn out for the year too. Sitting at 5-5 and Darnold is hurt but playoffs are reachable so we sign Cam. Cam thrown into a new offense halfway through the season after sitting on the couch and the results are expected and season goes off the rails but there is clearly still alot of talent on the roster 2022 offseason - Darnold doesnt appear to be the answer so we trade for Mayfield who everyone agrees is a clear upgrade. Draft elite linemen prospect in the draft as the skill position players are still good as a whole. Also sign solid OL free agents to finally fix the biggest issue on the team 2022 season - Mayfield bombs. Rhule loses team, season starts horribly and Rhule gets fired after 5 games. Time to finally rebuild the right way…instead team rallies around Wilks. We trade CMC and get a ransom of picks, team finishes strong behind power run system and we end up playing for the division in the 2nd to last game 2023 offseason - Team is built to be a solid 6-9 win team, but now we find ourselves in a division with Tom Brady retired and Derrek Carr, Baker Mayfield, and Desmond Ridder as the QBs and the Saints and Bucs look like their window is closed. If we can finally get the right QB to pair with a solid defense and running game we can have the division handled until the other teams find their long term QB. We hire a QB whisperer coach and go all in on getting our QB and draft the one that is pretty much the universal consensus best choice 2023 season - Disaster. QB we went all in for busts. Coach is over his head. OLine doesnt fit the system, and we got rid of players that could have helped the QB in order to get the draft capital to get him. Coach fired halfway through. Hard to blame the QB for a failed experiment all around and too early to give up on him 2024 offseason - build around the QB and put all resources into improving everything around him. Draft a receiver, hire a QB whisperer coach, use free agency to upgrade the OLine at the expense of leaving the bucket empty on defense 2024 season - QB clearly the problem and here we are it’s easy to look back and see that Tepper (assuming he calls the shots) managed to get every single move wrong but I think the context and the situations we were in at the time at least makes them reasonable and understandable. Hindsight is always easy when you look back. If it means anything at least he is willing to admit a mistake once its obvious and immediately cut bait. But to be honest when you look back on things Im not sure how much differently I would have done them. The biggest mistake was thinking that because we hit on some draft picks and somewhat overperformed in 2020 it made him reverse course on the rebuild and immediately start trying to win now. Biggest change I would have made was letting Teddy play out his 3 years while still building the roster and then deciding whether we were ready to go all in or whether we needed to wait for the right QB. I think seeing the young talent we had and starting 3-0 in 2021 made the organization believe they were just a player or a move away from being able to contend immediately

The funniest part of that whole debacle is that the Chargers ended up with by far the better QB in that draft and people only forget it because somehow the Giants tripped their way into 2 fluke championships

Feel for you man. My dad is getting old too. Turns 62 this year. He worked his ass off traveling as a medical sales rep but he never missed a game when I was a kid and it was always something I could look forward to. He grew up a Redskins fan but got PSLs the first year the Carolinas got a team and that was our team ever since. Its so much more than sports or football for some people and not everyone can understand

Am i the only one that things his problems have been more mental than physical it looks like the game is being played faster than he plays until last year he has been the best QB for his age pretty much his whole life, maybe im naive but I dont think all of a sudden he’s too small to compete. He was small for a high school QB and he was small for a college QB too

Wilks lost a must win game at home to Mitch Trubisky. This fanbase faps over the most mediocre people

Those guys played their asses off in 2020 with Rhule. We were pretty much in every game

saw him hooping at the dowd a couple times. maybe hes preparing for a career in the big 3

That 2013 Greg Hardy year was incredible Mark Fields before and after the cancer treatments Jeff Otah rookie year Jeffers back half of 1999 was the best receiver in football

a kick returner. a position that anyone worth anything on offense or defense doesnt play because it isnt worth getting hurt (see Smith, Steve) Cam revolutionized the most important position, Hester played a position that might not even be part of the game in 5 years

If Devin Hester is a HOFer Cam better be first ballot. Annoying that Eli will get in even though he was probably never even a top 10 QB during his career. But his defense held the greatest offense of all time to 14 points and he played in New York so im sure theyll put him in

Idk what you mean by horrible coach. He has no business being a head coach again but his resume speaks for itself when it comes to defense maybe coaching is what brings him joy and fulfillment? Kinda weird behavior to post this tbh

Exactly lol we never got a stop in a close game when we needed one

Id take Rod Brindamour as coach at this point. Probably knows nothing about football but at least the team would play hard

This board cracks me up lol im far from a Tepper apologist but lets recap the last 12 months -We fired a college coach and the complaint was we needed someone that “understands” the NFL. We now have one of the most experienced staffs in the league, including 3 former NFL head coaches including Reich -We bitched and moaned that we kept spinning wheels on bust QBs we tried to fix. They decided to finally get in position and literally be able to hand pick the rookie QB they wanted, and they picked the QB pretty much universally considered the right pick -We whined that Hurney gave out bad contracts and was too loyal to players and that Gettleman was too cheap and too content with trying to fill holes with players already on the team. The guy we have now is aggressive and will do anything he feels makes the team better. When you are always making moves theres gonna be misses So he has pretty much done everything this board has begged for, at some point it comes down to the players that get paid millions need to execute. Our OLine looked like world beaters last year and now can block a 4 man front. Our QB has had way more growing pains than anyone anticipated. Our defense literally has half its starters on IR. despite all that, while were 1-7 only the Detroit and Miami games were ones where it was clear we were outclassed and couldnt compete, both those teams are also legitimate playoff teams. Every other game is a toss up decided by 2 or 3 plays. Our offense is painful to watch and our margin for error is almost zero, but I honestly dont think this team is looking at a decade of misery ahead like the consensus of the board thinks. Keep the core of the defense together, get Bryce some weapons, move Ickey to guard and get a tackle in free agency and I think next year looks alot different. But blowing it up now is just resetting the clock all over again, which weve been doing since 2019. You have to actually give this rebuild a real chance

My thoughts exactly thank you

The Dolphins use pre snap motion more than any other team and Tua throws to his first read more than any other QB in football. The weapons help but it’s more so they scheme someone open on every play. Novel concept making things easy for your QB

Ive been sitting in Section 124 forever. Had some Vikings fans sitting next to me. They were vocal but far from obnoxious. Probably late 20s/early 30s. Dropped a few f bombs when Kirk threw the pick 6. Older couple with kids in the row in front of us got offended and turned around and threatened to call security if they cussed again because “its a family environment” and kids cant hear bad words never been so embarrassed as a fan before. Only thing softer than our OLine and run defense is the wine and cheese crowd that goes to the games (if they dont sell their tickets to opposing fans already) what makes it a family environment? Is is the alcohol being sold? The half naked cheerleaders? The grown men giving eachother brain damage? If you wanna shelter your kids dont bring them to an NFL game take them to chuck e cheese and drink soda and eat pizza while you watch on TV

This is obviously not the 2015 team but its funny to look back on the reports during preseason how they would have joint practices with the Dolphins and tell them to take their foot off the gas because we were overwhelmed and then we proceeded to bend over the entire league
