That loss to the Titans was so disappointing. No question. Especially with how bad Tua looked in bad weather. But, in hindsight, it was the catalyst to the crazy off-season we’re seeing now. I suppose any of the losses on the 1-7 losing streak would have ultimately made a difference, but that was the loss that ended the playoff chances.

With that in mind, how different does the team look now if they win that game? Is Flo still there? If yes, does he still go after Armstead or aggressively get a replacement for Tua? Personally…I think that loss was a blessing because I love what I’m seeing this off-season but I’m curious if that one possible win would have changed everything.
 
Well, Miami most likely would have faced Buffalo in the first round of the playoffs. More than likely the Bills win, but if the Dolphins did I can't see anyway Flores would have been fired.

The fact that a lot of AFC teams have been so aggressive in the offseason also played a big part in what Miami has done.
 
I think we would have had to go to the AFC championship game for Flores to not have been fired. If we beat the Titans and lose in the wild card I think Flores is still fired and the off season remains the same.
 
The Dolphins would have this off season even if they had won the Titans game. It was reported that Ross had decided early in the season that he was going to fire Flores because of communication issues he had with Grier and others in the organization.

Winning the Super Bowl might have been the only way Flores could have possibly retained his job and that likely wasn’t going to happen even with a victory over the Titans.
 
I like what we've done this off season so why bother thinking about the what ifs? I'm glad Flores is gone.....really like our new HC and I like the players we have gotten in free agency and trade. Not going to spoil that now
 
I think so as it sounds like Flores and Grier were on the outs. The decision to move on from Flores probably came much before that game.

Agree. Flo was not fired B/c of how the team was playing. He was fired b/c he couldn’t get along with anybody.
 
Interesting question. It was a gut-wrenching loss and also when the apparent rift with Tua became public. However, long before that game Flores stopped talking with the coaching staff. The inept construct of the offensive line, dual coaching staff, and lust for Watson undermined the entire team all season. Good riddance and I'm glad he has left to be the cancer on the entire NFL. (Regardless of what ultimately happens to Ross, the other allegations are ridiculous)
 
Yes.

Because we probably would have lost to New England in week 18.
 
Sometimes things happen for a reason. I really like the way things are going right now. I normally am keeping my hopes and expectations for the Fins low, but I can't wait for the season to come.

If we had made the playoffs it’s virtually impossible to fire BF. Assuming we would’ve lost in the first round by 10-17 points to Buffalo, it’s likely Watson would be a Dolphin right now.

Tua I’m guessing would be in Washington or Indy.

Tyreek Hill would be a Jet.

Mike Gesicki would still be franchised.

Jesse Davis would still be on the roster.

We’d be getting to know a new OC either way.

We wouldn’t know about the tanking offer.

We might’ve traded Howard already.

I am so happy right now. Go get em Nerd.
