Here’s one 50th season tidbit that will go overlooked by the Dolphins’ marketing department

This year’s pass defense is statistically the worst in franchise history.

And it’s not even close. Opposing quarterbacks this year have shredded the Dolphins for 3,908 yards and 31 touchdowns with an eye-popping 65.6 completion percentage.

Those 31 touchdowns are tied with the 1967 Dolphins for most allowed in franchise history. And like the ’67 squad, the mark was set in just 14 games.

But bad news for this year’s Dolphins: They have two more games to obliterate it.

Plus, the team’s records for worst defensive completion percentage and highest passer rating allowed in a season are both almost certain to fall.Teams have amassed an absurd 100.2 rating against the Dolphins’ defense this year. By way of comparison, the previous high in a season for Miami was 92.4, set in 2007.

Furthermore, the Dolphins’ current opposing completion percentage is a full three points higher than the previous high Miami had ever allowed.

Damn you, Ryan. Always screwing the Phins over somehow, someway. #Tannehillsfault
 
Tannehill was the reason Jones missed the Pro Bowl.....Just selfish man! Probably walking around on Christmas Eve talking about players pay checks and the what not!
 
That stat means nothing really. Yes of course we a have a bad pass defense, but it's a COMPLETELY different NFL than in 67 whereby it's a pass happy league. Find that same stat for other teams and I wouldn't be shocked if it showed the same thing. The Lolphins suck, they suck bad even without this stat

Suprisingly in 1967 NFL defenses give up only about 3 less touchdowns per team on average against passing tds in comparison to this year.over 14 games. So yes we do historically suck.
 
As I have said a few times this year worst dolphin defense ever and thats with the most expensive DT in NFL history

Well...if it is the worst performance since 1967....that means it is also worse than anything we have seen in the last 5 or 10 years as well. You can spin it anyway you want to......it just aint good.....

Agreed. Using the past decade as a barometer would be more accurate imo. That tells us the defense is even worse than we could ever imagine. I'm surprised we didn't set a record for rushing defense as well, or at least last year. Pathetic and a bunch of girls out there

It's unbelievable how many holes are on this defense. Aside from Jenkins (who's imo hit his ceiling), the rest are complete trash. All the corners are complete trash and aside from Jones all the safeties are complete trash. Aside from Vernon, Suh and Shelby, the Defensive line will need a rebuilding as well. That's a good 90% of the defense that will need to be upgraded or improved (through coaching - and we know all of our coaches aren't worth a **** either). Unless you are extremely lucky, or get a coach with a direct channel for help to Jesus Christ himself, this won't be fixed in one offseason.
 
If Tannehill could direct a drive that last 60 minutes in every game then our defense would not be on the field so I agree Tannehill is to blame

Ozzy rules
 
The downward spiral on defense started last season, no surprise that the front office didn't recognize it. #sportscience
