I wouldn't make any changes yet. Last year everyone was calling for Tom Brady and Bill Belichick's head after a week 4 loss 41-14 @ KC, The Colts started 0-2 and the Packers needed the QB to tell people to R-E-L-A-X.

This season is starting a lot like last season. We started 1-2 with two games that we weren't in at all. Then we went to London in week 4 and Crushed Oakland. we followed that with a bye week and were competitive for a few weeks against some tough teams.

We can all be pissed at the revolving door of mediocrity that we see every year. The embarrassing drubbing that we took on Sunday is not what we expected. We need better but he SKY is not falling yet....

But RT looks better.

2014 RT After week 3. 624 yards, 4 TD's 2 INT's 9 Sacks
2015 RT After week 3. 882 yards, 5 TD's 3 INT's 7 Sacks

Running the ball as a team is worse.

2014 After week 3. 412 yards
2015 After week 3. 218 yards


Total yards is a little better.

2014, 1026
2015, 1100

Points Scored is worse

2014, 58
2015, 51

Points against is better

2014, 83
2015, 74

Tom Brady and Bill Belichick are a whole hell of a lot more able to bounce back than Philbin. Tannehill while I like him is no Rodgers and unfortunately we play in the AFC East not the AFC South. I don't want to be that downer but I think we are past the sky is falling. We are far past the sky is falling. We have been nothing but mediocre for how long? Same thing every year.
 
They have been terrible this year. No spin to it.
 
All I'm saying is they were terrible last year through week 3. The only reason we didn't say it is because we Beat the Pats in week 1 and we were all happy enough with that. I'm not happy at all but i think that if we get to the Bye and make some adjustments we could have something to look forward to.
 
Breathtaking. You are comparing this Dolphins squad with Tom Brady and Bill Belicheck's Patriots? I don't even see the nexus. What are the possible similarities? The Dolphins have more in common with last year's Giants team that finished 6-10 then the Patriots with the caveat that the Giants have actually won Super Bowls recently. This team has no history of accomplishment. No genius at head coach and no all-time great quarterback under center. I'm not even sure what the purpose of your statistical comparisons are really, since we're not playing the same schedule we played last year. Our first three opponents last year included the eventual Super Bowl champ and 2 other teams with winning records. Our first 2 opponents this year will be drafting in the top 5 or 6 next April, only the Bills can be described as good. So why should we be impressed by the marginally better numbers we're putting up? We barely beat a wretched Redskins team and got pimp smacked by an injury depleted Jags team and obliterated by a quarterback who was a backup for the Ravens last year in our home opener! But let's suppose our season was to mirror last year's, we finished 8-8! Yes, the sky is still falling.

Well we barely beat the Redskins, lost to the Jags and got absolutely demolished by the Bills. That is a whole lot worse than beating the Pats, and losing to the Chiefs and Bills imo.

Yup.
Look at the Jags last weekend, 55-17? Or whatever it was, That team is terrible against good teams, but we made Bortles look like a stud.
I know upsets happen in the NFL, surprises are everywhere, but this team got surprised 2 games in a row by weak teams, and then shown up dirty style by a division rival in their own house. The only redeeming quality this season was that Miami did what it eventually had to do to win the Washington game. As far as preparing this team though, Philbin is clearly blowing it. A win against the Jets in London is the first step, but this guys got a wayyys to go to get some respect back as a head coach every Monday through Saturday. Joe and his staff's weekly gameplanning is a bust.
 
Its been hailing for a few years while everyone expects top notch weather. Fire em all
 
Sky already fell. Nothing left to do but lift it back up and tack in place with a few brad nails.
 
What ever you are drinking/smoking/snorting or shooting up you need to quit.If you think this team will turn it around you are sadly mistaken.Fantasy land where dreams come true is in Disney world.I think you had better look hard at this team and face reality.

And the #1 reason for lack of hope is we do not have the qb.

very few people have a lack of hope because of that. Most dolphin fans and peopl around the NFL see the problem as much different.
 
Can someone put that troll out of his misery? Back beneath your bridge you hideous moron of a creature.
