Blaming coaches is the easiest criticism to make in the NFL.

Coaches are always at the mercy of hindsight and it's the only role on Sundays that can be carried out without being a professional athlete. Furthermore, players are typically worshipped by the fanbase while most of what coaches do goes unnoticed.

Through two weeks this year, there has been a lot of bad coaching across the whole league. One of the worst offending coaching staffs is that of the Miami Dolphins.

The Dolphins are 1-1 when they were expecting to be 2-0. A close victory over Washington in Week 1 came with an extremely underwhelming display, while that underwhelming display was matched by the result when they travelled to face the Jacksonville Jaguars.

Adding Ndamukong Suh and surrounding Ryan Tannehill with greater weapons was supposed to make the Dolphins a much better team than both Washington and the Jaguars. Often the quarterback who hasn't been to the playoffs or won a Super Bowl is the first in line for criticism.

Even Tannehill's most ardent critics can't call him the issue in Miami. The quarterback has thrown an incredible 78 pass attempts, completing 52(66.7 percent) for 585 yards(7.5 per attempt) and three touchdowns with no interceptions.

The quarterback hasn't had a running game to rely on while his re-tooled receiving corps has struggled to live up to expectations to this point.

Failings on both the offensive side and the defensive side have prevented Tannehill's improved numbers from turning into an improved team. Offensively, the team refuses to run the ball consistently or play to the strengths of its running game, while the scheme defensively is proving to be a major issue.

Takes 3 years to get through the relevant teams before they get to us. Must of got tired lathering up the Pat's nuts.

Sadly a lot of truth here that most of us have seen for far too long.
 
and I'll take "no ****ing ****" for 800 Alex
 
Well guys I'm done being rosy myself. Win and shut everyone up, it's that simple.

Play like you have for over a decade and you reap what you sow.

Yet the defense is 5th best in the NFL in points allowed
while the offense is 27th in points scored

Tannehill's 4th qtr performance has been a bit of a problem with a
52.2 completion percent with an average pass of 4.9 yards with 0 tds

I know it's only been 2 games but Tannehill is going to have to step up
and carry this team in the 4th qtr. Hopefully that will start to happen
