It's semantics, but this was more of a flop than a choke. The Dolphins played as if they were out of the playoff hunt with nothing riding on the game. They were utterly unprepared and when they needed to fight through it, they knuckled under.
How can you not even compete in this situation?
As I said in another thread, performances like these are why I have no faith in Philbin or this franchise with its current ownership, front office and personnel. It's just another team, and it's under-performed far too often like this in similar situations for Philbin not to be held largely accountable.
As much as it goes against my nature as a Dolphins fan, I almost want to see a total collapse next year to get rid of Philbin and start over. Then again, is Ross capable of hiring the right people to make this anything better than a mediocre team? I haven't seen anything to make me believe he does. So depressed right now.
