I cant wait for Sunday. I feel like this will tell us the most about our new staff than at any point this year. Lets see if this new "culture" is real.

How will this team, that has been feeling itself a little too much imo (well maybe the fans lol), respond after getting kicked in the mouth and then force fed some humble pie..

Will we come out with renewed confidence and intensity?

Or is our season over..

Im not upset at the L, more so how we looked flat, couldnt adjust, and didnt even look competitive. Didnt look like a playoff pushing team. Baltimore showed us how to play these Dec games.

We honestly looked like the flat/finesse Philbin and Coyle team.

Lets hope its a 1 week stinker.. idk..

Why is it every game I get to watch thats actually broadcasted on tv in my area, we get smoked. lol
 
I agree, it will tell us what this team is made of, but the real game that will tell us all, will be in Buffalo, with the game against the Jets being a slightly less indicator.
 
Yea considering we already beat them and are lucky to split in any given year, you know they will be headhunting.. They have physical D's just like Balt so they need to wake up get their heads back in the game this week.

Im not fond of going against Carson Palmer as some type of "oh we should win that game they are 5-6-1"

They technically arent out of the playoffs just yet. They will be playing with purpose.
 
I think we found out about all we need to know about this team yesterday. Yesterday's game was the most important as it put us on the road, against a playoff contender, and against a team that has had our number.....and we did not show up.

I will continue to watch the games and root for the team, but yesterdays game showed me how far away we are. Any team that decides to hit the middle on us, we are done.

We have no linebackers right now (taken into account that Kiko is banged up).
 
Well, that's the face of this team anymore: win when you shouldn't, lose when you shouldn't.

With this team, anything is possible. 4-0, 0-4, W,W,LL, lose to the Cards and Jets, whip Buffalo and New England.

Every Sunday with the Dolphins is like Christmas:

You have no idea what you're gonna get.
 
I wouldn't pin anything on this upcoming game.

Concerning our match-up vs the Cardinals . . .

Life is like a box of chocolates, you never know what you gonna get...
 
IMHO, this is a must-win game. Shula had like 1 losing season his entire career, which is phenomenal. This Arizona game is the one that we need. Gase needs it to assure a .500 record. And more importantly, the Dolphins need it to have a chance at the playoffs.

Pass rush reaches Palmer. Somehow we need to stop that run. Then, our offense needs to get it's shiz together and I think we win this game.

The cards do struggle when going east and playing early games. So there's that. However, no Alonzo and a pretty good blueprint for a very talented offense (and play caller) is a recipe for disaster. Offensively, Gase needs to stick to the game plan and not panic. The second we revert to wr screens is the signal that the game is over. Gase does this when he loses faith in the offense and goes uber conservative. I can't tell if it's a lack of faith in Tannehill or he just is outsmarted by the dc and can't find the answer. I personally think the game would've taken a completely different road if he stuck with the run vs those 5 and 6 db sets. We still lose but it more like 31 to 21 and we limp back home with some confidence instead of with our tails between our legs and head hung low. I hope he learns this or will be searching for another hc in 2 years.
 
The Ravens showed what this team is.

And they are not a 9-3 team. They just matched up better and there coach is far superior and didn't take him more than a half hour to game plan against a team with zero at corner and lb.

People need to get off this playoff nonsense. We caught a few teams missing key players. We bested (barely) two of the worst teams in the game. Now, we finally faced a team with all their key players and one of the TOP 3 coaches in the nfl and well, this is YOUR Miami Dolphins!!

We have won our last game. We had some bright, even promising moments. But this team is a ways from any real playoff contender. Look what that team did to us!! And we will be facing much better next 3 out of 4 games and even better ones if by miracle we should slip in!! You want more heartache and embarrassment and a worse draft position were already in? For what? We have no chance at the superbow.

See if they can fix the cb and lb positions in the f/a and draft and then we are going somewhere. If not, next year's schedule is a two game season (if that's the real schedule that was posted today).
 
I live in Phoenix and was rooting desperately for the Cards to lose yesterday which would have ended their miserable season. Beating the Redskin though puts them squarely back in the WC mix in the NFC with the tiebreaker now over Washington. They WILL be playing with purpose and we will have our hands full with their Running Back David Johnson.

oh and they WILL be going for it on 4th dowm most every time they get the chance as Arians does.

Great, we have allowed 8 4th down conversions in 11 tries this year. Just what we need
