The Dolphins are getting CRUSHED today!

[TSIAS]

First off, I give Tennessee a ton of credit. They've played an incredible game and have earned this 28-0 lead.

But my Dolphins have been a disgrace today. I know Thomas and Surtain are out, but they're playing terrible. I don't see any pride in this team.

It looks like Wanny's negligence in dealing with the O-Line during the off-season cost the Dolphisn this year and will probably lose him his job as coach.

2. BRING BACK FEIDLER

Greasy fingers is killing you guys

3. It's not Bri or Jay

The offensive line sucks!

Jay is a more mobile QB, but I doubt he could have evaded Freeney and Kease the last 2 weeks. Especially with Smith "protecting" his blind spot.

4. yeah,but,,yeah, but

what about that fumble at the end of last week?
how many turnovers did he have today? I saw 2 fumbles and an int for a TD. That his fault.

[TSIAS]

5. I put much of that on the O-Line

He could barely get off a 7-step drop all day. One of the fumbles today was his fault, but the others were a result of bad protection. Especially the one at the end of the Indy game.

It's tough to compare the 2 QB's at this point. Griese has had to play against two superb pash rushing squads. It's hard to get into any kind of rhythm without time.

The Dolphins are a completely mediocre team. They've beaten the lousy teams, with the exception of Houston. When they've faced off with a winning team, they've lost every time.

as though I needed one more piece of miserable news today.

what the hell is happening to them? late season slide already? DAMMIT

7. It's a number of things

Surtain and Thomas are Pro Bowlers, and missing them does hurt.

Right now, the offense is simply in disarray. During the off-season, they could have draften Boldin or Calico (who plays for Tennessee). Instead, they drafted a LB who isn't even on the active roster.

The biggest problem I see is that Bumstedt thought they could draft a Tight End in the 3rd Round and have him start immediately in the NFL.

The rest of the line is banged up. Jamie Nails is coming off Achilles' surgery and multiple knee scopes, and Mark Dixon hasn't played all season.

Miami still has a chance of making the playoffs, but they can't realisticaly go past the Wild Card round. We have to beat Baltimore and Washington to even stay above .500.

8. I know

it's still extremely dissapointing considering the high hopes I had for them this year.

They should beat Washington, and Baltimore might be harder but not impossible.
