I am sick and tired of idiots like Omar Kelly, Travis Wingfield, Kyle Crabbs and a few others who try to convince us that this kid is a GREAT QB- so far as I am concerned, he isn't even a good QB. Yeah, he has gaudy (kind of like costume jewelry) numbers, but he doesn't win the big ones. Yes, he managed to squeak out the Cowboys game, but the BIG ones -the ones we have to win- he ALWAYS falls sh

Tua does it again- GIVE the DAMN GAME AWAY! five 3-and-outs in the second half- then an interception to LOSE the game! We cannot win in primetime! This kid is TERRIBLE when the pressure is on.
Forum: Miami Dolphins Civilized Discussion
This team embarrasses us EVERY TIME we have a big-time game in prime time or on the road. The whole football world was watching today, and we BLEW the opportunity. Badly. Again. We haven't been able to beat a good team on the road yet.
1. Do we consider firing Vic Fangio? The defense never showed up today, and he has used some form of a prevent defense several times this year. It cost us the gam

I was unaware that one loss constitutes an 'implosion'.
Nevertheless, now, after the Jets game, do you still hold that opinion?

I am sure he's pissed at his WRs, but normally you get fined for bitching at the refs- he deserves to be fined.
BTW, the guy that lined up offsides was Valdes-Scantling, not Mr. Swift.

Damn stupid kid! Tuanon: Tua SUCKS!!!!! Six points against this bunch!!! Defense: What the hell were you doing?!?! You play 57 minutes of decent football, then give up TWO touchdowns and a two-point conversion in just three minutes?!? We get into the red zone TWICE, and McDaniels has a brain fart and never tries to run it in! THE RUNNING GAME WAS WORKING!!!!! So- six points instead of fourteen!!
Forum: Miami Dolphins Civilized Discussion
I hope so too. But..I agree with you. He can erase all my doubts just by winning some tough football games late in the season against good football teams. I hope like hell that he does.

Guys- let it go. I never said that Tua isn't a good QB, he is. I just said he doesn't have 'IT'. They are very different things.

I thought Eichenberg had a decent game- for him. As for kickers, Sanders has got to be on a bubble of some sort, and- I miss Thomas Morsted.

Teams in this division have seldom swept a division rival for a season over the years, even when certain divisional teams were good. I am uncomfortable about the people that airily dismiss these next five games as easy, or even already have them in the 'WIN' column. So, people expect to sweep TWO division rivals in one year!?! This is foolishness. It is certainly true that the old saying 'Any tea

Yes, they are moving the ball but not very well.
I feel the same way about the Raiders. I never liked them in those days and I can't say I feel any different now. Next, we play another divisional rival from those days- The Jets. I might be more uncomfortable about this game if Rogers hadn't gone down, but don't forget- Wilson put 40 on us last year. That was then and this is now, but never unde

It's obvious why they don't throw at him at all- three picks in three games when they do throw at him, and this guy is so smooooth! I enjoy watching him play, and I love the way the defense looks so much better with him back there.
Forum: Miami Dolphins Civilized Discussion
Yes, that's it exactly! Guys saying stuff like 'the defense had 'it' for a little while' tells me that they don't get it at all! 'IT' is a VERY rare commodity. You either have it or you don't-it's a binary thing. Only Quarterbacks can have 'IT', these guys handle the ball on every play, and damn few of them do. Danny had more of 'IT' than anybody else I can think of, but Roger Staubach, John Elwa

This kid pisses me off. I didn't want them to draft him, and I wasn't happy that they did. Maybe now everybody realizes that as long as we've got this kid we won't win any games where the pressure is on at the end. He plays well against the mediocre teams, but in a pressure-packed game he may play well early , but if it is close at the end he has a history of falling apart and playing poorly when

I didn't watch this game on Sunday, and when I found out that we lost, I didn't bother to watch it. I just saw the last few minutes of the game, and I disagree with you. Tua completely blew it (again!) on that last drive. First, the drive was completely Mostert until the last downs. Then, they took the ball out of Raheem's hands and gave it to Tua, A MISTAKE! First down, a poor pass to Mostert in
Forum: Miami Dolphins Civilized Discussion
I disagree. I thought that the defense, with a couple of exceptions, played pretty well. Eli Apple sucked when he was with the Giants, but I had hoped he had gotten better with experience. But, nope. He still sucks. DB's thin again, much like last year. Is Cam Smith really not as good as this guy? But, at least we have hope things will get better this year. O-line looked fair, but Eichenberg look

I'm tired of the Dolphins having a big night game and then laying an egg in front of the whole country. It has happened too many times in the last twenty years to make me somewhat uncomfortable about this game, and it's embarrassing. What we've seen are some memorable games, with disturbingly poor outcomes. What I want to see is a team that competes hard to the very end of a hard-fought win. I th
Forum: Miami Dolphins Civilized Discussion
I think that you should, because the O-line couldn't control their outside line guys, giving Tua very little time to go through his progressions and set up an outside game.
And as Rick Weaver would have said, 'They knocked us flatter than a state fair pumpkin!'. I was never too sure exactly what that meant, but then he didn't have to use that saying very often because it didn't happen to this te

Maybe they're confused- Brian Cox is a very well-known actor, Bryan Cox was a damn good and nasty linebacker and a current coach.

This week, I heard several commentators (both national, and unbelievably, local too) talk about 'the new rivalry between Buffalo and Miami'! Apparently, none of these characters know anything about their history or the rivalry that has existed between these two teams since the beginning of the AFL. And, what about the years when Marino and Kelly were battling for the division in the late 80's/ear
Forum: Miami Dolphins Civilized Discussion
Well, now we know: they got knocked out of the clouds. It looked as if they forgot how to apply the fundamentals, and apparently the coaches took the week off, too. From what I saw, a total of TWO guys played well: Andrew Van Ginkel and DeVon Achane. The bad part was that they made mistakes too, just nowhere near as many as EVERYBODY else.
What a debacle!
However.. we get another shot at them a
