Where to start? First, the GM - there is literally nothing more to say about this loser than hasn’t already been said on here so I’ll just pass.

I’m talking about the one and only coach Mike McDaniel. Once lauded as a “genius” of sorts due to his quirky intelligence he now comes across as an indecisive, incoherent moron and the team has taken on his identity.

Indecision. How many times did you scream “throw it” at Skylar today? How about getting the play in on time now in year 3 FFS??? Would that be too much to ask. A lot of people blew off taking a delay of game in the 34-31 playoff loss to Buffalo on the final drive in a 4th and 1 situation as just a young coach learning. It made my blood boil then and it hasn’t gotten any better now. That just shouldn’t happen. Yet it happens every week w this guy. He had no experience as a play caller yet he just had to call the plays here. He has no feel, no patience and gets baited week in and out and takes that bait every time. He’s not smart. He’s a ****ing idiot and a stubborn one at that.

This offense has regressed to year 3 Joe Philbin and year 3 Adam Gase levels. And it’s not going to get better any time soon. Not w these horrific QBs playing behind a horrific OL. Tua can’t save this offense. It’s fully melted down. Terrón Armstead needs to go. He invents ways to get hurt. He’s never there for his team.

Our TE group is putrid. Durham Smythe has like 6 targets this year w 4 drops or something. That TD he dropped was an absolute dime by Boyle and emblematic of what this team has become. A bunch of losers. Guys that just cannot make a play. Can’t win enough 1:1 battles. Julian Hill WTF??? 3 holds on run plays in one game? Shula would have benched him after week 1 or 2. Jimmy Johnson probably would have cut him. Yet McCulture keeps sending him out there when he’s done nothing to warrant playing time - and all he does is reward coach by going full retard. That’s on coach as much as the player.

Has McDaniel ever sat a player for poor performance? Remember that horrible bastard RB we had who kept fumbling and dropping balls? He kept playing him until he traded him even though the guy kept hurting us.

This coach is another fraud. They all seem to get exposed in year 3 after their one little gimmick gets figured out and that’s all they’ve got. Then the team quits on them and plays with no heart. That’s where we are folks. Another lame duck coach who was entertaining for awhile but the schtick got old in year 3. It always does when you regress and we have regressed spectacularly.

That this team laid a complete egg having a mini bye is unacceptable. To wake up and learn a franchise legend had passed away and not a single dude out there seemed to draw any motivation from it. Pathetic.

This coach is soft. The warning signs have been there all along and have persisted.

One of the most unwatchable games in recent memory in what is shaping up to be an unwatchable season. Pathetic. Disgusting. But hey, at least everyone got paid!!!
 
It was unwatchable, Royal. One of the worst Miami Dolphins games I've seen for many of the reasons you highlighted.

That Miami nearly made it 17-10 fairly late was almost unbelievable considering how much Seattle dominated.

I so much want McDaniel to succeed, because he's such a breath of fresh air. So different and unique.

But, the undisciplined mistakes are killing this team. That's on the coaching staff. It feels like Miami is stuck in preseason. Awful game, especially the lack of energy.

Seiler, Achane, Carter, Phillips and a few others stood out effort-wise. But coming out flat three weeks in a row is now a pattern.

If the season totally implodes will Ross replace McDaniel?

Another thought I've had. This team has eight players in the top 100. Only SF has more. Is it more on McDaniel than Grier?

I keep hearing about talent and 8 guys on the top 100. Bot referring to you. But that is useless unless you are good in trenches.
We are terrible horrific there. No talent there at al

Austin Jackson is not good. Sorry he wasn’t good last year. He was passable. Cause of Tua

Guards are awful.

Left tackle is a mess cause of Armstead

It’s like having a beauty of a sports car but no engine.

This is going to be a lost season. And nobody will get fired.

But they prob will address the line


Abd chop has been nothing special

Agree with most of this. I do think Chop Robinson has played fairly well. He was close to blocking a kick today that might have changed the momentum. Close on several sacks in the first few games.

Of course close isn't quite there, but I think it's too early to be too concerned with his start.

The offensive line looks horrendous. That's a topic we've all discussed. Have to recognize how much Tua helps cover this up, but now his career could be in jeopardy.

I also thought it was odd that McDaniel got a contract extension.

Nailed it.
 
I'm afraid nothing will change. We need a competent FO and a coach that has the respect of the players. Grier cannot build a team and McD is too buddy buddy with the players. I'm in agreement with the OP, in that in year 3 we shouldn't see the same mistakes over and over. I think we have seen his ceiling, and it is not very high. I don't see this getting better unless we have competent people in charge. How can Ross not see that and keep rolling with the same BS year in and year out. He shoulders the biggest issue, not being able to find a competent FO.

I was thinking about that too during the game. I was asking myself why is Hill still playing when he's committed 2 holding penalties. Then he made the 3rd one and was still playing.

McDaniel holds no one accountable. Like, at all. Did you see his post game presser? He was literally defending the QB play. It's unreal how ****ing soft this guy is.

The fact that we paid these guys before we needed to, before they really proved anything (coach, Tua) is beyond the dumbest ****ing thing I've ever witnessed in my life. This is 100% a prove it league and neither of them proved ****. But yeah let's pay them like we just won the ****ing superbowl. Ugh I get more mad just typing this **** out...

No. It is on both of them and both of them should be gone. Immediately. Not even wait till the end of the year

Unwatchable. That was a good summary.

I think you are being too kind. It might be 5 years to get out of this mess
 
There were a lot of concerning things in McD's first year- the bad decision-making giving the Steelers a chance to win a game only saved by freaking Igby, the Madden play-calling where we ere basically didn't call anything but 15 yards passes for long stretches, despite pitting backup linemen against the Bosa brothers, or having backup QB's in there. And the failure that essentially ended the playoff game- stupid but yeah, maybe a rookie mistake.

I'm willing to give guys a chance to get better. I've been wrong before, and I've learned from it. But there's definitely a whole lot that just hasn't improved or even gotten worse.
