Yes, we look BAD. As bad as I've seen since the 2015 season, BUT, think back to last year...we started 1-2 (which included a blowout loss to Buffalo) and we had our coach stirring up an unnecessary quarterback controversy the week leading up to our Week 4 game in London. Sounds an awful like what we are experiencing right now.

I will point out that we started 0-2 the last time we made the playoffs and were coming off an embarrassment at Arizona before winning 11 of our final 14 games.

Look, I'm as down on this team as everyone else, but lets not forget that it's still Week 4. I will add though that the team seems to need a distraction or shakeup entering this London game in order to get them on the right track and a coaching change should do just that. Unfortunately, Boss Ross probably doesn't have the balls to do that this week.

Sorry for rambling...but this is eerily similar to Wanny's final year in Miami and yesterday's loss was the equivilant to Wanny's final game (a home loss to a BAD Arizona team). It's a double edged sword...you either cheer for the team to win and get stuck with Average Joe for this year (and possibly beyond), or cheer for the losses to pile up and get Phailbin out of there, a la Wanny's last stand.

Just fix this mess of a franchise, please!!!
 
If they fire Philbin this week, they probably wouldn't be able to get to London. Organizational and administrative genius, that man. Can you imagine all the lists, schedules, timetables, charts, spreadsheets, and seating charts they'd no longer have??
 
Know what I love about this place. All the tannehill detractors calling for his head and maybe rightfully so but NONE of them can come up with a real working solution. Get rid of Tannehill and replace him with what? Go ahead. Name some names so when that goes to **** that you can't sit on the fence and tell everyone "I told you so". Name the next college "can't miss" qb that we should draft that will be a top 5 qb. Tell me about the next coach we have to get and next GM. Go ahead, I am waiting...
 
The problem is that last year, when we went 1-2, our defense was not the disaster it is now. I remember Ryan was struggling and people wanted Matt Moore to replace him, but he stepped up in the next game and played MUCH better for the rest of the season. Sure enough, we started winning games. Right now, though, we need the entire team to step up and do much better, starting with our coaching staff, and I just don't see it happening.

The way we played yesterday was by far the worst version of the Miami Dolphins under Joe Philbin I've ever seen. Our defense is probably the worst in the league, our OL IS the worst in the league, we have no running game, and the most concerning issue of all: It looks to me like the players have quit on this coaching staff. That's why I'm worried.
 
the only similarities are that in Wanny and Morono's last years, their teams quit on them before the season started. In Wanny's I mean literally quit when Ricky Williams said "**** this - I'm not carrying the ball another 500 times this year. You had all offseason to upgrade the offense and did nothing. I'd like to be able to walk when I'm 40" - he left Wanny w his dick in his hand and a bunch of bad panic decisions followed like trading Marty Booker for Lamar Gordon or whatever it was. Morono was DMW his last year and the team knew it. Same for Philbin and the team isn't trying. Last year they were still competing. We get smoked in London. Coaches get canned going into the bye. The players aren't dumb - they know that the only way they rid themselves of these fools is to lay an egg and have coaching changes made at the bye - otherwise they are stuck playing for these complete ****ing morons the rest of the year.

It was 100% solely Tannehills fault. Forget the team mentality and the desire to play. It went out the door when tannehill was juked by charles clay at the 1 yard line for their first score or when Tannehill inadvertently miscaught his own pass and it was intercepted early in the game. Don't forget when tannehill played corner and was beaten by a former dolphins player, 7/11, for a touchdown. Lastly when Tannehill missed an extra point, that really messed things up. So year in summation, Tannehill's gameplan , his execution on both sides of the ball and on special teams was atrocious.
 
No we didn't forget, well most of us! Still a terrible staff top to bottom and the on the field product proves it.

This literally made me LOL.

Yeah, if they had no organizational crap to sift through, there may be time for, you know, game planning and stuff...

You forgot grammatically correct PowerPoint presentations. As we speak there is a PowerPoint going on in Davie detailing how to place a carry on bag into an overhead bin.
 
A crap sandwich is a crap sandwich no matter what bread you use. Joe "Queasy" Philbin should have been fired last year, but he wasn't so us fans will be forced to endure this buggery for the rest of the season.

I'm pretty sure Ronnie Brown is still in the NFL! Maybe we should trade for him?
 
We were 1-2, but had beat the Pats and lost to the Bills and a Chiefs team that was playing well. This year, we barely beat the Skins, got beat by the Jaguars...the ****ing Jaguars...and then got embarrassed in our home opener against the Bills with a QB who should be a backup...NO COMPARISON!

and the Jags showed what they are to NE yesterday - so many data points suggest there is no hope for this year under the current regime. Blake Bortles sucks **** sideways and he had his best and probably only good pro day against us. Then yesterday he went back to being Blake Bortles. We are horrid and no way the players are truly this bad. They are laying down.
