I'm displeased just like many of you about the last couple games but if we take a step back and look at things it's not so bad.

We barely lost to the defending superbowl champs
We were Dominating the patriots for a half of football, in the second half we got a few bad calls and had some poor coachign decisions
We lost to buffalo a division rival, who i believe we thoroughly outplayed just had a few major breakdowns (costly turnovers)
We lost to the saints at home by a large margin- it happens to the best teams in the league

I personally would like to see Philbin take over the play calling duties in one of the upcoming games. I really have not been a fan of Sherman since his time at Texas A&M just take a look at the amount of talent on that team that Sherman had not been getting the best out of. (Manzeil helped but they had a lot of talented players while Sherman was still there)


Tannehill- Maybe its the abuse through the past decade the dolphins have put me through but I just see something i couldn't put my finger on missing in Tannehills game. I honestly believe it's just instincts. His awareness in pretty much every facet of the game after the snap seems very poor. Whether it be his inability to manipulate a pocket or unwillingness to extend a play. He's got every physical tool necessary to play this game at a high level but it's just not coming together as quickly as it should be. One thing i have wondered is if his maturation is actually being stunted by staying in Shermans system. ( Bare with me while i make a call of Duty analogy for this discussions sake) Ok so you start off with a m16 and you get good fighting with it you add on accessories and you have eventually maximized the potential of the gun through playing so well this this gun you now unlock gun#2 which is not as accurate or fast at first but has a higher ceiling for potential to make it faster lighter capable of using more accessories. to connect this, by keeping the same system with Tannheill that Sherman has been using he's still in a more basic style college offense. Tannehill is a smart guy and i think he would be able to handle some more complex schemes. Many of the Route concepts seem limiting and unimaginative. I want to end this by saying I do like the aggression our offense has been playing with at times this season I just think Tannehill can and should a more complex offensive playbook.


We're 2 games back from first places with 9 games left and were not playing the patriots at gillet late in the year this season.


by the way i'm not a fan of call of duty.
 
It be great if Joe could take over play calling....too bad he never did it in Green Bay.

him not calling plays in Green Bay had nothing to do with this ineptitude just Mcarthy's coaching style . I have no doubt that Philbin is capable of taking over the play calling role.
 
I was trying to get across that A&Ms success was largely impart to Manzeil after Sherman was gone but there was a lto of left over talent from Shermans tenure.
 
I've read several articles that state Philbin is even more pass happy than Sherman, I'm not sure it would be a good idea for him to call the plays for the offense. Sherman was calling a brilliant game in the first half of the Pats game, the confusing thing is why abandon what was so successful so quickly in the second half.

This is another narrative monotone I LMAO at. McCarthy may have called the plays, but who do you think designed, developed those plays to exploit the strengths of the what was a record-breaking offensive juggernaut during Philbin's tenure?

Want a hint? It was the same guy who worked all week with his offensive weapons to hone and tweak execution of said plays. So yes, on game day Philbin didn't call the plays he developed, introduced and implemented working with his offensive squad all week, but those were his plays created for and implemented with his skilled players.

So there's that... don't kid yourself, it ain't insignificant.

Game day decision making is where he is lacking. Very weak...should not surprise.

Joe Philbin has shown no ability to utilize his talent.
 
Considering it was Philbin who developed the plays and then worked daily with the skilled players who became the record-setting offensive juggernaut, I for one would be thrilled if he pulls the offensive equivalent of what Rex Ryan has done taking over the defense even with a standing DC. Sherman is proving to be as worthless as a tit on witch, so why not: this guy definitely knows how to craft a potent attack. And while he's at it, since Aaron Rodgers largely credits Philbin with much of his professional (and personal) development, maybe he can kick Sherman's unqualified son in law to a ceremonial shelf and start working directly with Ryan as much as possible. Time to stop being the field general manager and roll up his sleeves IMO.

he sure has with players like Jordy and Aaron in GB. Do you think those plays McCarthy insisted on calling himself just came about through The Big Bang Theory? Arguably the best QB in the league has credited him with much of his professional development but if you want to cling to that unfounded narrative, hell if it gets you through the night, knock yourself out

And what makes you think he is any good at calling plays?
 
your title is mistated. he did not take over playcalling so stop making it look like they did to make us look.
 
Wow, I can't wait to see what record-setting plays Philbin comes up with tonight!
