### In a conference call with Minneapolis reporters, Joe Philbin partly blamed the team’s coaching for the team’s second half struggles.

Asked why his team has played so poorly in the past two second halves, Philbin could only state the obvious: “We haven’t made any plays. We haven’t stopped people well enough. We haven’t put enough points on the board. We haven’t played well, we haven’t coached well.”

### So has this team failed to maximize its talent?

“I’m not going to say we didn’t maximize our talent, but I don’t feel like we played well enough,” Mike Wallace said. “Because maximizing our talent, I would say would be on our coaches, but I think it’s on the players. I don’t think we played up to our potential, but as far as maximizing talent, if you would say that, then it would be on the coaches. I don’t think it’s the coaches’ fault, I think it’s our fault. We’re selling ourselves short, the players not the coaches.”

### Jared Odrick with the Dolphins keeping-it-real quote of the day: “Finishing 9-7 and not going to the playoffs doesn’t mean a thing.”

And yet, Stephen Ross might not agree, considering there’s a possibility Joe Philbin survives if he wins his last two games and Ross fails to lure Jim Harbaugh, who reportedly has a six-year, $48 million offer from the University of Michigan.

### Fox is sending Sunday’s Dolphins-Vikings game to just five percent of the country: Miami-Fort Lauderdale, West Palm Beach, Minnesota, North Dakota and South Dakota, with Kenny Albert, Daryl Johnston and Tony Siragusa on the call.

### An example of the wide disparity in how NFL prospects are viewed in December: Mel Kiper said UM left tackle Ereck Flowers is a second- or third-round pick. Kiper’s ESPN colleague, Todd McShay, has Flowers being drafted 12th overall in his first mock draft. Flowers declined to make himself available for comment this week.

With the way this thing is going right now, does anyone really feel like it would be plausible for Joe to come back as anything but the lamest of lame ducks in 2015?

I think that if we lose to Minny, Ross should go ahead and can him next week and put him out of his misery. This is becoming a really obviously telegraphed situation, and even if Ross is thinking about keeping Joe, the buzz surrounding the situation is making that untenable at this point.

For better or worse, we will have a new coach in 2015.
 
Some NFL rumor chatter I am hearing is that Miami is a potential landing spot for Jay Cutler in 2015. God I hope not.
 
I'd rather see Cutler in 2015 than Philbin here.

Uh. No. Not only is Jay Cutler awful, but trading for him would wreck our salary cap. In return, we'd be saddled with a quarterback who isn't very good and has about as much leadership presence as Jeff George.

I am all for making a change at head coach, but let's not say things we can't take back. I'd much rather have another year of Philbin, hopefully with some talent gaps filled, than saddling a new head coach with Jay Cutler, this broken roster, and a busted salary cap structure.
 
The Cutler to the Phins rumor was on the NFL twitter site...they had eight potential landing spots for him.
 
Philbin back = 2015 is also lost...please no
 
There is no way this team is trading for Cutler. We already have two better QB's on the roster.
