This is a moderated phorum for the CIVILIZED discussion of the Miami Dolphins. In this phorum, there are rules and moderators to make sure you abide by the rules. The moderators for this phorum are JC and Colonel.
it's been the same crap for over a decade. can we really keep the same GM and coach? this team has the stench of Ireland all over it. We gotta get rid of him. Get ready for another "rebuild"

We will likely continue to ride Tannehill, until(unless) he gets injured, to a 6-10 or 5-11 season. Thought we could sweep Jets & Bills and go 5-1 in the division, could be 1-5, 3-3 at best. Need an ownership change and complete house cleaning to move forward
Fire Ireland and hire a competent GM. Period. Let him decide on who will be head coach. We haven't had a competent GM in Miami in decades. Until Ireland is gone, we have NO chance to compete. Ross should be more concerned with replacing Ireland than anything else about this team.
and I see NO fire out of this coaching staff or team. we get butt raped by the refs on call after call and philbin looks like he's watching a golf match

Guys, losing these past 4 weeks is a real slap in the face and a recognition that much of what we thought about during the preseason is holding true to course.
The 2013 Dolphins team is still rebuilding offensively and defensively. I'll also add coaching wise too. We need some additional upgrades to the team and that means getting rid of average players and coaches.
I'd stick with Tannehill but draft a QB next go round. We need to concentrate on finding upgrades to G and T, LB, CB and S.
Wallace is not the guy we need, I'm afraid. He can't fight for the ball and take it away from the CB or S. He needs distance or he won't catch it.
I take issue that we are 'rebuilding'...WE need to but we just aren't. There is and hasn't been for 10+ years any fire or fight in this team. THAT is the hallmark of an up and coming, 'rebuilding' team. It's not the losses, it's the pathetic way we are losing. Today the PATS were off, we had all our injured back and we STILL laid down once challenged...damn.
Agree with KB & Colonel, although we should be we aren't because of too many bad personnel decisions year after year by bad GM. How much did we spend in the offseason? the Gibson signing was good, but now he's done. Keller?
We need OL and pass to take a DE?
We will stay with Tannehill for the season but need to look at the 2014 class and FA's. Like Aaron Murray
Maybe we should have realized Wallace wasn't a #1 and not dropped a ton of $ on him. Something like 8 drops this year through 7.
Its likely not gonna happen with this regime. The good teams get better picks 3-5 and later than we get in rounds 1-2.
With our Oline play where the hell is Dallas Thomas?
I said the Dolphins were done for the year and Mr. Berkeley said I
was a troll and a Pats fan. He basically says the same thing and its
ok hmmmm what's up with that....???

Some of you guys crack me up, you want to write off a rookie O-lineman after a half a season, then you'll bitch in 3 years when he's starting for someone else. Got no idea if Dallas Thomas will make it or not, but PLENTY of O-lineman take more than one training camp to become good, let's all just take a deep breath
What's next? A loss to the Bengals, that's what's next.
Fire the coaches and FO? I wouldn't advocate wholesale changes, but I would tweak a few positions here and there.
Big question, tho, is will Ross still be the team owner next year?
As far as the NE game...was anyone really surprised? What surprised me the most about this game is how well the whole Dolphins team played in the first half, along with Sherman's play calling.
