***Phins/Texans Post Game***

I don't see Allen carrying this team to the playoffs. Too many holes. Not only that, how would Allen overcome all the delay of game penalties?! 🤣 Don't get me wrong, I would like to see Allen playing for Miami MUCH more than Tua, but changing QB's won't get us over the hump. We are not deep enough for that.

How would the Bills do without Allen!?

Yeah I think we are a playoff team with Josh Allen for sure maybe even Jalen Hurts. Tua has missed a lot of time. Who knows about Herbert. They’re pretty mobile and Those guys with Tyreek and Waddle could probably do some damage imo

Have to respectfully disagree. Flawed team no QB can fix.
 
The Texans are going to lose by 20+ at home in the playoffs

Seriously, after this, Ross would have to be Bernie Lomax II to bring either McDaniel or Grief back for another go round next year. The fans would mutiny.

That next to last drive was as much of an indictment to poor coaching as you'll ever see. It was every bit as bad as the thing that got the Bears coach fired.

WTH, even Bernie could do a better job than Grier or McDaniel!

Just trade what you can cut the rest! Only real football players on this team are Achane, Smith and Chopp(starting to develop). The rest are all bark no bite. Sick of seeing Waddle flopping around screaming only to be ok then quit and not play. Tua is just not it! He is fat, slow, weak arm that good DCs bait into turnovers in the deep third and a fumble machine.

You forgot Seiler...

I like McDaniel personally, but he's been exposed. Badly exposed. He has problems that I'm not sure are fixable.

McDaniel's problem is that he took a job that he wasn't even remotely qualified to do and decided to call the offensive plays on top of it too. As a kid he was a Denver ball boy, and then his mom married someone on the Broncos coaching staff. He grew up around the Shanahans, so he was basically a hanger-on who was given jobs, but never anything of significance.

Sure, during his last year in SF he was the OC, but that was in name only. In reality, he was just an Offensive Assistant who designed some plays, and that's pretty much it. The bigger problem here is that Ross and Grier hired this nobody to not only run the entire team but also let him call the plays when he had absolutely no experience calling plays or running anything.

Eh. McDaniel took a job he was offered that anyone would have taken.

The problem is Stephen Ross. The problem always was Stephen Ross. The problem always will be Stephen Ross.

I get the sentiment but I'm going to disagree to this point.

Drafting solely for need is a kneejerk reaction that leads to reaches and makes you pass on better talent.

Great teams are always drafting value. They aren't panicking.

There will be Day 3 draft picks starting on good teams next year, I'd almost guarantee it. There'll be free agents that are a bargain that will perform well on a good team.

The Dolphins need to find THOSE guys. They need to coach them up. They need to practice. They need to develop a cohesive unit. They need to bring in tough guys who can play through minor injuries and won't be denied a yard when we need it, and we need to bring in a couple of backups so the whole thing doesn't fall apart when the inevitable injuries happen.

If we're draft a guy at 15 who is the consensus 35th-best player on the board, though, nothing's going to change with this team. If you have someone at 15 that you think can be special, you take him at 15. If not, trade down, give yourself a few more tickets to hit the bull's eye.

Great teams can draft the best available talent over need because they're probably smart enough to have started out by building from the trenches out, so once they have a solid foundation, everything else is just icing on the cake. Grier placed little emphasis on the trenches and instead built from the outside in, resulting in a total failure. Grier places more emphasis on finding injury-prone players than he does the trenches.

And on the rare occasion that Grier finds decent talent, the inexperienced and totally in over his head McDaniel can't coach them up, make them practice, or hold them accountable. And, if they're tough, physical players, he'll put an end to that quickly! However, he will pass the doobie and sing "Kum Ba Yah" around the campfire with them at their Club Med Training Facility.

They’ve done it repeatedly. McDaniel wasn’t the first example.
