Last week I said McDaniels is Adam Gase 2.0. It looks like I was wrong with the statement as he is way worse and will own the biggest collapse in franchise history while Gase took a back up QB and way less skill players to the playoffs.

One thing that has killed the Dolphins is the inability to line up with more than 10 seconds on the play clock. Before the 2nd Tua int a big Waddle gain was taken away from an illegal formation. Both plays the Dolphins were in a scramble to get lined up.

This has happen multiple times this year and its just an inability to do the small things in a game to win. Whether its lining up offsides vs. the Lions or the 2-3 illegal man downfield calls Miami is the 4th most penalized team in the league.

We are one of the worst defenses, Sp.Teams, and do not run the ball. If it was not for 2-3 huge Hill/ Waddle plays a game we would be 2-13 right now.
 
continually snapping the ball with less than 1 second on the play clock is frustrating.
 
I suppose that McDaniel uses all kinds of motion pre-snap to confuse the defense, but it seems that it's confusing the offense even more! And, not only is he a questionable playcaller and terrible at making adjustments, but he also takes too long to get the play in, resulting in wasted time-outs or delay of game penalties.
 
Exactly right. How many timeouts and motion penalties have we had as a direct result of it. Get the fing play in already !
 
1993's 9-2 to 9-7 would still be the biggest collapse. Their final three games against Buffalo, San Diego and New England, they gave up 47, 45 and 33 points.

I certainly don’t think McD designed the play implementing an illegal formation.

When I watched the play live my thought was Waddle has to know when he does and doesn’t need to move up to the LOS.

To your point, my concern was how motivating and disciplined would players be playing for a coach who is laid back and what appears to be a buddy to the players.

Fear may not be fun, but it can be highly motivating in the discipline to eliminating mistakes.

There was one play where hill ran back and forth about 3 times and the commentators just snickered like all that for a bunch of nothing.

I'll admit that I'm ignorant when it comes to the Xs and Os of the game. That said, it just seems silly to me that there needs to be rules concerning how players line up. I mean, who cares if this or that player is covered or uncovered? It should be simple; if you cross the line of scrimmage, you're offsides... period!

that year we lost Offerdahl plus 5 more starters on defense that went on IR and back then IR meant you were done for the year....that was to go along with Marino getting hurt along with his backup and the 3rd string QB as well plus Keith Byars
