Personally, I think the cold weather issue is a problem without a solution.

Finesse teams struggle in the cold. We've been a finesse team for years under McDaniel.

so what should we do? Move the team? Draft only players that have played a lot of of games in the snow?
The solutions have already been mentioned in here. Might have one or two that haven't:
Better, bigger players in the trenches
a real focus on the running game
a tough minded HC who doesn't wear Capri pants in the snow
A bigger, stronger armed QB
a mentally tough team and front office that doesn't make excuses and holds players accountable

We are soft. We are coached by a guy who doesn't believe players should wear pads in practice.
McDaniel and the staff is the reason we perform so impotently in these conditions..we are ill prepared in terms of gameplay, execution and scheme. It happens constantly and he can't adapt.
Those conditions are adverse. We cannot deal with a shred of adversity we just melt down bc the coach is clueless...which makes all of his post game bs speeches on adversity that much more annoying btw

To me it comes down an issue this team has had for quite some time, OL play and defense. The best way to win in the cold is to be able to run the ball and keep it a low scoring game. Then hopefully you have a QB who can make enough plays to win the game. High flying passing attacks slow down when the wind affects the throw, your hands are cold and the hits hurt more. You just need tough guys which this team doesn’t have.

The last physical miami team was with Sparano. Just didn’t have enough talent but played hard and physical
Did anyone see how Iowa State came out for warm ups in 12* temperatures yesterday?

As long as the Dolphins need an excuse, they will find one.
Fact is we haven't been a good enough team to win beat some of the better teams.

I can't find it, but they come out for warmups with out shirts on and stayed that way for 30 mins before putting their pads on.... and it was 12 degrees.
I think we can fix this issue but it starts, where it always starts, with the GM picking the right players.
I believe it starts with the owner, personally. They have to set the right tone, and ours doesn't get it. I don't mean they need to be out here publicly setting that tone, it has to be done internally, forcefully, consistently with no room for lesser. Based on the result, I don't believe ours has it.
