I was RONG

[Jamesw]

I was RONG! This was an opportunity to see what we are made of. To see if McD could evolve under pressure. To see if the players would rally and respond. Tragically, we failed in both areas. I saw an ill-prepared team. More self-inflicted penalties. Poor game clock management, play calling, etc. The players were overwhelmed, and unmotivated, and our high end, big money superstars didn't show up. As a Phins fan since 1972, I've seen it all, but I've never quit on this team and never will. Each season I hope for the best. I WILL NEVER SUPPORT LOSING! Tanking isn't in my DNA. Next week, I will be hoping for victory. However, I feel that Miami needs to seriously look at all areas including GM, Coach, Hill, Ramsey and of course our long term QB solution. We have a lot of work/cleanup to do. Hopefully, the rest of the season can provide that opportunity.

Thanks, but giving Ray his tributes makes this place enjoyable. Regarding football eMCee, what specific realistic changes would you make to salvage the season? Or are you all in on tanking? When posters demand firing Grier or McD etc, they rarely offer solutions. Who specifically would you replace them with?

Well I've already posted a bunch of what I would do but it's starts with firing Grier immediately after this game finished. I'm also firing McDaniel and letting Weaver take over as interim. He at least shows he can make game time adjustments.

As far as who I would replace Grier with, I'm actually going to start looking at that now. What I do know is I'm only plucking from winning organizations. So I'll have to get back to you with who I think would be some viable candidates. But either way I am letting the GM pick his HC and staff. I think I would say they have to keep Weaver though.

It would be a requirement that the new staff use all resources on o line and d line for next year's draft and free agency though.

 

[eMCee85]

Assistant GM Andy Weidl would be a strong candidate for me if I'm Ross.

At least you man or women up and just say you were wrong. I wanted to believe and think we had a chance. But zero OL and McDaniel looked lost again. Spare me the oh he didn't have a QB talk. Everything was disfunction. How many pre snap penalty? We were out of timeouts again when you go 2 min drill (no tempo as well) how. It is a joke go out and trade for high priced talent with zero OL. McDaniel is so lost with out Tua and he can't stay healthy. I mean what kind of HC comes up with a game plan to throw over 60% of the time with a back up QB that sucked in college as well (and that was in a close game at times). Fix the damn OL it is not rocket science, can't ever pick up a first down on3rd short (worts in the NFL last 2 years).

What needs to happen is that McDaniel needs to understand that our current backup qbs are not very good and that the game plan needs to be 70% run 30% pass. That means when you have 3rd and goal from the 3 or what have you and it’s two down territory, you don’t dial up a play that requires precision passing and call the number of the tight end that has the worst hands.

Simplify the offense to simplify the operation and reduce the amount of penalties. All that motion only works if you got someone like Tua back there to execute it. Simplify Simplify Simplify.

Get Paul ready to play. Run behind him he’s a mauler. I don’t want to see Lamm in the field again unless AJ is injured and can’t play. Start Paul and see what we have there and run behind him. perfect time for it

As for the rest of it, the seasons young, Let’s see where we are at The end of IT and then we can Make whatever decisions need to be made.

I am on board with that. JW is fine good pics. But Ray it was funny for like a day or 2. Now I just scroll right throw It. Plus the I always think of the word lemmings with the used car lot.in the military. Just way.to.much.

Until we see this fixed, we will never know how our offense can fully function. I mean, is there a rule against us having the comfort of acquiring at least a half decent OL? All the Playoff teams seem to have crossed that out of their list and see where it got them. Most of all, itll at least shut up the fan base.

You build the OL first, right or wrong. KC has the best QB in the world. What do.they do? Build the line. Trade Hill to us, they use that cap space sign, then draft OL. Even if they miss at OL guys they keep dating and singing them. We got flash and injured QBs. Say with you want yes Tua has injury problems. But Skylar took a beat down, if you have 300+ pound DT crushing you have problems. Say want you want Skylar may be slower at reading play, but that showed how good Tua is at reads and throws. It was a blood bath out there. How many DTs can hit a QB? It wasn't Darnold or Jones out there. 320 0ound men crushed the pocket in.less the 2 seconds.

I think KC is not a realistic example to follow roster construction wise. They have the cap space to sign OL because they don’t need to pay skill position players to win games.

That being said, how they handled Hill is a prime example why they continue to be good. If you can’t afford a player, trade them. We keep giving Hill and Ramsey more money and it simply doesn’t make sense.

I appreciate Hills talent, but I would trade him for as much as possible. His off field issues are too much a distraction.

And they did the same thing this past offseason by trading Snead to the Titans for a 2025 3rd round pick.

There were signs a train wreck was coming, and it was for many legit reasons...the most obvious being the injuries piling up before the season even started.

This team is super thin because it lacks fundamental discipline. There are other teams missing as many starters, yet they look like their normal self. They have established identities and expectations. They adjust. Hell, look at Green Bay?! Their QB is out, no problem, go 2-0 so far with him healing...with a QB nobody wanted! They're making the kid look all-pro. That's a hell of a coaching job.

I just don't see any way out of this w/o dumping Grier and McD at a minimum. Grier "gives the coaches what they want"...so he's the enabler. McD is lost on the sidelines, seemingly getting worse by the game. Having no hurry-up offense, alone, is cause for firing IMO.
