It has been only 2 weeks since this ICONIC moment. A win against the Bills and a 3-0 record.

McDaniel speaks to the team about overcoming adversity a week before this

Every thread (almost) is talking about the negatives...how could they not....these unyielding Dolphin fans that have endured so much

It is not 0-7 like last year......it is not that we can't beat the Bills or win in Baltimore.......It is not the end of the season.

Vikings will be a great test to see how the Dolphins do face adversity but I hope they can succeed and they will need a packed stadium behind them....whether it is Tua, Teddy, or even Skylar or Sinnet......

Lets' GOoooooooooooooooooooo!
 
I told everybody 3-0 means nothing for a season at large except that we're gonna have at least three wins.
 
In this game it seemed like after the missed field goal and the jets scoring on the next drive the team was deflated. Then the fumble happened and they laid down the rest of the game. It was reminiscent of the Titans game last year. I don't like seeing the team quit fighting and/or look lackadaisical. Injuries played a huge role in this game but it wasn't the only problem. They have a lot of work to do before Sunday. I don't know what the answer is but what happened today ain't it.
 
Losing 2 in a row while getting embarrassed by the Jets causing them to fall to 3rd place in the division. The entire team better come out fired up, well prepared and with chips on their shoulders next week vs the Vikings. There is no more room for error, so they better find a way to get a win. Another loss and this season will spiral down into the abyss like every other season in recent memory.
 
Team sucks right now. Idc about the platitudes - fix the d , establish the run, get the key players healthy

It’s because our defense has been exposed. It needs to be addressed. I was a fan of letting Boyer go and McDaniel bringing in his own guy but he didn’t. McDaniel is probably questioning himself on this one right now. We will NOT make the playoffs when you have young QBs dissecting our D they way Wilson did today. It’s gonna get worse as the season goes on. Sneaky feeling we don’t even see Jones this season
 
The problem is that we just had 9 days off and Waddle wasn’t 100% clearly, X couldn’t play, Byron Jones still isn’t healthy, Tyreek is banged up, Armstead is officially a problem, Tua‘s condition is top secret, no updates on Austin Jackson.

This is an epic injury list and we’ re not going to win games if this injury list doesn’t clear up. Our secondary is shot to ****.

We’ve already shown who we are when healthy. I know every team deals with injuries but literally our best players at the most important positions are hurt. Jets game means nothing to me. We just got to get some guys healthy

It is tough to win without your top 2 QB’s, your 2 starting offensive tackles, your 2 starting safeties and some tough calls by the refs
 
We lost our 🎩 magic with Tua being out and not counting the injured secondary. Still plenty of season left to sort it out.

Problem is that so many in the NFL legit believed that this defense was good just because of those high profile beatdowns in the Ravens and Saints games, and the stats don't tell the story of having so many bad QB's on the schedule to offset the way the team played versus actually competitive QB's.

And the organization itself, not just McDaniel, bought into the idea that this was a team with a built defense that just needed somebody to bring the offense up to an NFL level. For me, except for Jevon Holland and X Howard (himself inconsistent) I'm not sure there's a guy that can legitimately make plays that aren't the result of something being schemed up. And that includes a lot of guys being paid a lot of money. But those schemed up plays seem to happen versus very flawed QB's only, and just don't happen at all when QB's aren't prone to some pre-snap tricks.

We need our key players back for the Viking games. X and Jones and hopefully Tua.

and we'll get Needham, Iggy and Skylar instead lol worked so hard to get to 3-0 and so easy to to fall to 3-3. That bengals loss was 2 games instead of just the one. Howard, Tua, Armstead all should have sat that Bengals game out. Just too short of a week after that brutal game vs Buffalo. But it is what is. Just gotta hope they make less mistakes and someone steps up. Or this will be a 3 game losing streak before you know it.

You’re right. It’s a long season and attrition is what wins out. We are dealing with it now maybe later on others teams will be.
