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.
Who would you prefer that I focus on? Greer? He doesn't line up on Sundays, and he has gotten us some talented players. Ross? A waste of time, he owns the team and does what he wants(if he listened to us, we wouldn't have to put up with the 'pussyfish' logo). McDaniel? Well, okay, that makes sense. I blame it on the only player that handles the ball on every play, Tagovailoa. You see, I don't 'ha

First: I do NOT 'hate' on anyone, that is an overused and incorrect usage of the word. I do not 'hate' Tagovailoa, he's my quarterback. What I 'hate' is losing! And Tua is much too good at it.
All the things you mentioned certainly contributed to the loss, but the QB is the ONLY player to touch the ball on every play. He just doesn't have IT.

I'm not refusing to see it, I would LOVE to see it. But I don't. I would rather he didn't die to win, but.. just WIN. He has the talent, he just doesn't have whatever it is in his head that makes some QBs winners. It seems to be an attitude that guys like Staubach, Unitas, Marino, Elway, Brady, Allen and Mahomes have that so many other QBs with comparable or even superior skills don't have. I don

1. You are right. My sister tells me that I threw a hissy fit yesterday, and I think that she's right. But..I ain't taking it back.
However, this game was invented way back for ONE reason..Entertainment. Each team then and now represents a city, which wants their team to WIN. That is the goal, always. NOT statistics, WINS. There is not a team that does not want to win every game, every Sunday. S
Forum: Miami Dolphins Civilized Discussion
You people are completely ridiculous. All you do is quote statistics, but statistics DON'T WIN GAMES! Quarterbacks are supposed to do that. Tagovailoa can put up great stats against inferior competition, but he doesn't win the games that he needs to win. He is a LOSER! there are plenty of things that you can blame our lousy record on, but these are mainly excuses because too many of you don't WAN

LOSER he definitely IS. Show me when he has won an important game. You can't, because it hasn't happened. EVER. That is a LOSER in my book, regardless of his excellent statistics. Statistics don't win games, as he has proven, time and time again. I'm tired of people telling me he's 'elite' because of his statistics, the object of the game is to WIN! He doesn't win the ones we MUST have, so...a LO

TCPF, stop being silly. I know that none of you want to admit it, but He IS a LOSER. Name me ONE GAME that he pulled out when we were not supposed to win. If it is a big game, WE WILL LOSE. This is a 100% certainty. It always has been. He cannot win when we MUST! His statistics are gleaned when we are playing inferior talent. He CANNOT win against a good team. Hence, he is a LOSER.

What a load of crap. Greer has made as many good picks and pickups as any GM, and as many bad ones as any other GM. His problem is that he seems to be stuck with a QB that puts up great statistics but can't win the Big One, and I don't mean the Super Bowl, he's never gotten near that and I don't think he ever will. His offensive line gave him lots of time today, but it did no good. This QB is a L
Forum: Miami Dolphins Civilized Discussion
Tua is a statistical anomaly- he has great statistics, but he cannot win WHEN IT MATTERS. So, any statistics that he compiles are TOTALLY useless. Tagovailoa is a LOSER. Get rid of him and get somebody in here that WINS, regardless of statistics.
Forum: Miami Dolphins Civilized Discussion
I am sick and tired of hearing that Tua is an elite QB because he has great statistics. Well, he does. But..statistics are compiled AFTER the game. The fact of the matter is that Tua, regardless of numbers, cannot win when he needs to lead his team to an important win. Now, we are out of it. Did his statistics get us the wins that we need? NO! He NEVER has and I doubt that he ever will. But..he h
Forum: Miami Dolphins Civilized Discussion
I disagree with much of what you said. All of the game stuff you mentioned certainly contributed, but if your leader is so inconsistent that he can't win when he makes 80% of his passes, then he's just not a winner. I don't dislike him for any reason other than he doesn't win games that matter. I wish he did, but the fact is that he doesn't. I am not exactly enamored with Greer either, but realis
Forum: Miami Dolphins Civilized Discussion
The reason is that regardless of stats HE DOESN'T WIN. I should think that is obvious to anyone. Statistics are calculated AFTER the game for a reason. His statistics may be gaudy, but statistics are for LOSERS. WINS are for winners! I don't care if he completes 20% of his passes, IF HE WINS! This kid can't win when he completes 80%! That is a damning statistic! Some ignorant people think that an
Forum: Miami Dolphins Civilized Discussion
My point exactly...he's undependable when it counts. It doesn't matter that he connected on 80% of his passes..we LOST! Tua was certainly one of the MAJOR reasons! Yeah, he connected on 80%- but it was obviously the other 20% that were the winning throws- and he didn't make them. Against the better teams, he NEVER makes them.
Forum: Miami Dolphins Civilized Discussion
This team must enjoy embarrassing both themselves and their fans in night games that the entire football world is watching, because they do it so often. I thought that we might be past that with the win on the road over the Rams, but..apparently not. Tua drives me crazy. He's either excellent or awful- there seems to be little in-between, and he is inconsistent as hell- and not game-to-game, but
Forum: Miami Dolphins Civilized Discussion
He doesn't deserve a second chance, for two reasons:
1. The team as a whole hasn't played up to their abilities so far this year- the coach's job.
2. Tua was playing very poorly when he was hurt (does anybody else have a suspicion that he pulled that stunt on purpose?) and I see no reason at this time to believe he will be able to pull this team out of the doldrums. I hope that he can, but I wo
Forum: Miami Dolphins Civilized Discussion
JC, did you watch our last game against him? It was obvious that he didn't have the horses (he 'shopped for the groceries', the reason that he didn't have the horses because he's a poor GM), but they played a well-coached game. They just didn't have a prayer with inferior players. So, I disagree with you about Belicheats' coaching acumen. I think that he still has it.
Forum: Miami Dolphins Civilized Discussion
I completely agree, Alex Ingold is a good player, regardless of his one mistake today, he's usually a dependable blocker, ball carrier, and pass catcher. Which probably means that his days in Miami are numbered. Disturbing.
Forum: Miami Dolphins Civilized Discussion
McDaniel designed an excellent offensive scheme. Unfortunately, that was last year. When the rest of the league caught up in the middle of last year, that offense tanked. He hasn't made ANY useful modifications since then. NO touches in the first half for two of his best players. He isn't the leader that we need, we have too much talent on this roster to be playing this badly. He proved today tha

I don't understand the owners of today- If we needed a first down, Lou Polite would get us one. He was, if I remember correctly, 19 of 20 on first down attempts. But, I guess if you miss one you get cut. This was another of the personnel moves (I don't remember which coach did it) that perplexed me. We could sure use him now.
Forum: Miami Dolphins Civilized Discussion
JC, if you were around in those days(and I was, and I think that you were, too) you'd be crazy NOT to be a Csonka fan. He was a great fullback( and a nice man!), but fullbacks were also running backs (witness Brown, Zonk, Franco, Nagursky, Motley, Allstot, Riggins, Taylor, Osbourne, and SO MANY others) in those days. And, as far as I'm concerned, every team in the league should have a fullback! O

Colonel, remember what John Madden said- " One Knee Equals Two Feet". Name of one of his books, in which he explains that if you're a one who might be impacted by the rule, you have to have both feet completely inbounds- or your knee. The receiver only had one-and-a-half feet inbounds. Incomplete.

Well, it makes me sick that Van Ginkle has scored as many touchdowns as our entire offense has- and his TD was the winning points. A guy that makes plays EVERY week, and frequently game-changing plays. But, WE didn't need him.
Forum: Miami Dolphins Civilized Discussion
Did OBJ even play?
I really disliked the personnel moves by Brian Flores. I think that this guy's moves might be worse. Andrew Van Ginkle scored as many touchdowns ( a defensive player!) today as the Dolphins have all year. Great decision.
Why the hell does he still play Julian Hill when he's got Jonnu Smith?!? Hill makes five times as many mistakes as decent plays- of which there has been only

Whoa, guys! Look, the reality is that at this point in the season we aren't going to be making any major changes, and very few minor ones. The truth is, they have been playing with no cohesion and little emotion. But...they have a wealth of talent and currently they aren't playing up to their talent. However, things change, sometimes very quickly in this league. Seriously, its not like we are out
