Philbin has finally molded the team to what he envisioned since he first got here. Philbin took over a team that was way more physical than this. Every year under Philbin, this team has gotten increasingly more and more soft. This by far the softest Miami team I've ever seen. Miami this season, is so finesse that they can't get the easy short yardage 1st downs. Just today, they did a reverse or some crap to Landry on 3RD AND 3!! Of course it failed miserably. Why not just give it to Jonas Gray there? Only finesse teams try to get creative and over think things on a 3RD AND 3. The O-Line is fragile and frail, can't hold up for 2 seconds to save their lives. The D-Line is very feeble and pathetic. No one on the D-Line is winning ANY battles. At one Point Suh was getting TRIPLED TEAMED and yet no other lineman could create any pressure.

The linebackers. They're very hollow and are constantly getting dragged for 5+ extra yards after contact. The corners, constantly give these 10-15 yard soft cushions and are STILL getting beat like runaway slaves. DBs look disinterested in coming up to make tackles. No one is jamming WRs/TEs, WRs are allowed to roam free untouched.

The playcalling is also soft. Consecutive Fades called when Tannehill clearly sucks at them inside the 5. No runs called inside the 5 either. How many plays on long to go downs are we going to keep seeing plays being ran behind the LOS and behind the sticks? If you look around the NFL almost ever TD drive is set up by at least a 20+ yard play. Long drives are not going to get it done in this league especially with this lame defense. Miami needs more long TDs because they are absolutely gross to watch in the red zone.

It all goes back to the coach. the team has officially become just like their queasy finesse head coach. SOFT.

Miami is not a very good team and is probably the weakest team in the league. They're the softest in the AFC East and it's not even close.
 
Philbins boy Greg Jennings really set the tone for the fins early in the game. lol. Getting rid of all of our corners was a great idea, too. Brice certainly knows how to play off man. 25 yards off man.
 
I'm not even upset with the losses. I'm more upset with the lack of effort and lack of physicality. Buffalo was tossing Miami players around like it was nothing. Washington and Jacksonville abused Miami. Very disappointing.
 
Three games in a row we have been basically outplayed
 
This entire staff is a total disaster. The roster is a lot more talented than they are playing. We need a coaching fire sale. "Everyone must go!!!"
 
How could a team look so disinterested in their renovated home opener against a division rival in a battle to avoid last place?
 
This team showed ZERO fire today. Very disturbing.
 
Hey, I saw a lot of former Dolphins who looked pretty tough today! Pretty sure they learned that under Philbin. Just how many former Dolphins do the Bills have, lol. Their GM must just wait for the Dolphins to let a player go and knows they will be good because they only keep crap players.

How many teams out there are sending thank you cards to the Dolphins for signing "franchise transforming" player, Suh.
 
I have said from the start that Philbin has about as much fire as a downpour. Today's showing was the worst, no one cared how easily Clay walked into the end zone untouched for a TD or how McCoy did basically the same on his TD. Philbin took an aggressive monster, Suh and turned him into a gulding.

never thought that was possible
