2019 Tank Or Win

Kyndig said:

It’s not about trying to lose actual games. The way to tank? Easy, hire a head coach that has never had any management experience or actually been a defensive or offensive coordinator (ahem, Flores) and the. Don’t sign a viable qb prospect veteran, and use rookie qb from draft, or go with someone like Fales.

Then you can go ahead and “play to win every game” and you will likely draft in the top 3 or 4 the following season. See? It’s easy...

I’m thinking that this is the plan. I just hope Miami knows when to stop the bleeding and fire Flores.

If he succeeds I hope you have the diginity to admit you were wrong.

I ain’t tanking for Tua or Fromm.

The players and coaches will try to win no matter what we want or root for here. The QB will be the determining factor here and Brock probably won't be bad enough for some of you guys. Brock probably keeps us at mediocrity, as bad as he is to tank you need Painter/Lemon/Beck/Kizer bad. Osweiler will not deliver that, he'd play it too safe and guys like Wilson, Grant and Drake will make too many plays for him to go 2-14, 3-13 etc. Best hope for a tank is sign a QB (assuming we don't draft one) that gets us kind of excited, have him go down and a QB who has no business being out there behind him. My guess is another mediocre season and a very, very disappointed forum.

Dont be surprised if this team goes 7-9, 8-8 again. The talent is there. And Flores will push them to play at their potential if night slightly above it. This “rebuild” is about establishing a new culture of grit, determination and character.

I, for one, am excited.

The problem is that I’m not going to be wrong. I was right about Philbin and then Gasy.

It discourages me to see MOST Miami Dolphins fans truly wanting to PURPOSELY LOSE GAMES for a better draft pick NEXT season.

When it is STILL THIS SEASON! What is wrong with you people??

WAKE UP!!!

LOSER MENTALITY!!!! GEESH....

Winning breeds MORE WINNING. This is NFL 101 guys/gals.

How far our fan base has fallen is almost unfathomable.

The ones that voted TANK should be ashamed of yourselves. I would be.

I’d love to see a PUBLIC VIEWED POLL on this same topic and see who all are ashamed of themselves and changed their vote.

Disgusting.

Also, why is there not a POLL Question as to TANK ONLY after we are mathematically eliminated from the playoffs? I would have maybe voted for that as long as we were just testing our young players. I can get on board with that.

We are the Miami Dolphins! We don’t TANK on purpose. We ARE BAD MOTHER****ERS.

Oh we are definitely tanking. This is my hope. Jim Harbaugh told Ross that if Miami ends up with the 1st pick in the 2020 draft then he will come. Ross then hired Flores for the tank job.

Aha!.,.Well now it makes sense!

Keep your core pieces and youth in general... get rid of older players...find your QB and go get him.

Line up the real coach who will replace the Tank coach we’re about to hire.

How is the talent there? We don’t even have a starting qb?

Look at the “S)#) for Luck” strategy by the Colts! All those Super Bowls they won ... Errmmm, well ... all those playoff wins ... Ermmmm, well.....

Tanking is for fools!
