A friend of mine who is connected to the Dolphins just returned from the Buffalo game. They brought me some Dolphin gear and the autographs of Ryan Tannehill and John Offerdahl. I can't give you their name, but if I did you could Google it and see their connection.
This person,and others connected to the Dolphins, got to meet Philbin, Ireland and others, go into the coaches offices, the owner's suite, etc. They said that they all put on a good front talking about how much they have improved, etc (Like business people trying to sell you a product). But it was obvious that all was not well. They said Ross is cordial but obviously "frustrated" with the team. They very much believe that unless they come up with a winning season, Ross will can everyone and start over. That was the atmosphere.
They said the trade for McKinney was 2 weeks too late and an act of desperation as McKinney is old and hurt.
The game against NE will tell us a lot - my friend thinks Miami has no chance, because the coaches won't change anything to fix the problems - especially with the o-line.
This is not my opinion of the team, although I agree with much of it. Just telling you what this person is seeing from the inside of the organization.
