*** OFFICIAL MIAMI DOLPHINS @ BALTIMORE RAVENS GAME THREAD *** WK2

[dunegoon]

Have we even tried sneaking in these blitz ? It's been pathetic

 

[TheMageGandalf]

Disappointing performance by the defense but the offense even though we've move the ball still only scored 7 points and turn the ball over twice. This team was not ready today

 

[Fred Bear]

One more blowout and it's time to pull the plug

 

[joenhre]

Why does this team always get their ish pushed in by the Ravens. The game last year was an aberration. Until this team can compete with Baltimore or Buffalo they might as well just forfeit the rest of their games and go play golf or Madden. This team is once again a huge failure.

 

[Swiss]

Tua against the Bills next week.

 

[Pitbull13]

Is anyone watching this defense? Absolutely atrocious.

I stopped watching. I'm watching ne/pitt

 

[DANTODUPER]

I know there is someone on Pittsburgh stadium laughing hard with our defensive performance. And by the way Flores also tried to trade for Watson cause what he believe of Tua. So far, it looks like that person was right. Also, I dont like at all that we just cant run the dawng ball. Is this anothe guru we hired that cant do what he was supposed to do. A running guru on one of the worst running offenses I have seen. Of course this is on the OL also which looks like they cant push a LB back.

 

[EasyRider]

OL isn't the problem today

Thank you

 

[royalshank]

Look, the D is playing terrible but Balt’s D playing well either. The plays are there. We have 2 offensive TDs through 6 quarters of play. If you can’t score with more regularity that’s mostly on your QB - he leaves too many plays on the field - he just does. Here’s a prediction - this keeps up he will not finish the season as the starter. You have to produce = lead drives that get points. He’s failing miserably relative to expectations so far this year.

 

[opticblazed]

BTW anyone still want to make the argument we aren't better with Jackson than Tua

[Fred Bear]

That sums up the day ...up til now...even if we lose I would hope that this head coach can make it respectable in 2nd half.

Let's hope

 

[vagrantprodigy]

I don’t see how logically you can think that?

For whatever reason the Dolphins “D” did not show up today…and Tua continues making mistakes.

Because Waddle made no effort for the ball, because he never saw the ball, because he wasn't looking for the ball early enough in his route. Doesn't excuse Tua choosing to make a throw into double coverage, but as a receiver you have to locate the ball, and Waddle had no idea where it was.

 

[Lionstone]

I'll get flamed for this I'm sure but IMO Tua should be benched.....not because we have any chance in hell of winning but to send a message to him that his substandard play is not acceptable & he better get up to speed real quick. I know it's not all him with O line issues but still....he looks terrible. Unfortunately marquee players get too pampered today and coaches are "afraid" of the optics....still, Parcells & others have done it and sent a message. Even Jimmy J made comment about Marino after a bad game and Marino came out the next game and was on fire.

Yes, I think your statement is wrong. Coaches that yell, imitidate, and send messages do not build up players. They can create a disciplined team, but always fail to create explosive high performing teams. Given the current crop of players, tough love is not an approach that the works. There is literally zero value in benching Tua. He has played poorly. Everyone knows it. See if you can get some positive growth out of it.

 

[Andyman]

After watching Tua over the past 3 seasons, and watching his lack of awareness in this game, as a past supporter of him at QB, it is fairly obvious with the weapons he has, that he will always be a product of his abilities. That being said, he's going to have to win this game to keep his job. I honestly think McDaniel will do what is best for the team. With Buffalo coming up, that game might be Tua's make or break game already in this young season. It's losses like this that define a team's response.

He won’t after two games. He’ll get more than that. Let’s be honest, the D has been atrocious today too.

 

[1972forever]

No. Bench him now. We are definetely not making playoffs with tua.

They need to bench the entire defense while they are at it. They haven’t made a single play all day. They got lucky Jackson fumbled on the half yard line and that’s about all they did in the first half.
