Think about it.

Pups. Our team is made up of pups. Youngers. FNGs.

Coaches too.

Did you REALLY think a team this young was gonna click all the way to the AFC Championship? They still might.

Did you REALLY think this team was going to fight to the bitter end as they did today? After last week? Not a complete blowout against a team renowned for its ferocious D?

With Brissett?

Jesus. At least the very young 1970 Dolphins had a highly experienced head coach. And they watched the SB from the couch. Got their clocks cleaned the next year, but that was during the SB.

They played far beyond the coaches today.

Still hurts, but the loss today isn’t on the players, for all the mistakes.

Starts higher than that.

Fair enough. But, if Flores had any brains, he would have hired an experienced OC and OL coach. And, if Grier had any brains, he'd have signed a few decent Free Agent o-linemen who could start while the youngsters learn. Put 2 or 3 vets on the line, and then let the young guys slowly work their way in as they get better. Instead, they have inexperience at every level... unacceptable!
 
You're right; it's still a young team. But, it's a young team that's been handicapped by poor coaching/playcalling, and poor drafting and o-line building. So, since they are younger players, I'm all for going 1-15 to force Ross to clean house, and hopefully to do it completely this time! There is some talent on this team, but it's being wasted.

Ranking NFL teams by age after 53-man cutdowns: 2021 edition

As of roughly 7:35 p.m. on cutdown day, when we finished collecting data from all 32 NFL team website rosters, the New York Jets had the youngest team in the NFL.

We're middle of the pack in the NFL for average age and tied with the team we just lost to today. FYI we got older in age despite shedding 38 y/o Fitzy too.

While being "young" may assuage and kick the can of the Grier/Flores reality down the road, it's not actually based in objective fact.
 
I'm so disappointed, but being saying this for a while. This team is young, full of kids and to be honest not as good as many Dolfans believe. Our offense lacks weapons, we talk about the oline and rightfully so, but this WR group isn't very good either.
 
Nope. You’re right.

The whole thing lacks a spark. A reason.

We saw it in the first quarter. Then it fizzled…

Ran off all the veterans. McCourty is being phased out now.
 
The collective age of the team doesn't matter as much as the collective lack of talent. There is hardly any on the team. Howard is the only elite player on the roster.

Go up and down the roster, compare it to other potential AFC playoff teams and tell me it compares favorably. Compare this roster to next week's opponent, the Colts.

No one wanted to believe last year's team was largely a mirage that benefited from a weak schedule and unsustainable turnover differentials.

The faith in Flores was and is mystifying as well. He's beginning to look like every other Belichick assistant. If you're not having grave doubts about Flores now, what would it take? Penalties, poor fundamentals, bad hires, questionable game plans. The buck stops with him
 
Young team? But most of the young guys on the team are not getting better or playing commensurate with their draft positions.
 
The Dolphins are the 14th youngest team this year. I'm not sure middle of the pack qualifies as a "young" team anymore. They should be firmly in ascending phase now. Not "Next Year".

They're literally tied with the Raiders for age at 25.7. There's a 3rd team in there... The Green Packers are also 25.7...

The Rams are the 6th youngest at 25.5.. I guess they should be patient too.
