If Coyle is still DC for this game, our season is over
I'm starting to fully realize that this season was officially over the SECOND Joe Philbin was invited back for a 3rd season. 5 games into the season, and he's been completely outcoached what.....3 games already? No longer is this team about personnel or Ryan freaking Tannehill. Tannehill played very well today and deserved to win this game....Giving Rogers 2+ minutes to score a touchdown with the game on the line is an absolute joke. A couple of 1st downs would have prevented Green Bays offense from even seeing the field, which is exactly how this game should have ended. But hey, that would mean Miami was actually playing to WIN the game, instead of playing 'not to lose'....and unfortunately, this once proud franchise has no idea how to 'play to win' due to absolutely horribly pathetic coaching. I'm done....I've seen all I need to about this team. This team will not stop being a 'punchline' until they finally bring in a quality head coach. Here's to 6 flippin' wins this season.....MAYBE 7If Coyle is still DC for this game, our season is over
You make some really good points, and under normal circumstances I couldn't agree more. Only one thing though Fan-these are the DOLPHINS we are talking about. I mean, I read a really good article by Omar Kelly just a few minutes ago (on phins.com-newswire), and he wrote EXACTLY what almost every true Miami fan realizes deep down......it has become entirely routine for Miami to lose games JUST LIKE THIS. 2 yrs ago, Carpenter (one of the most accurate kickers in the league btw) misses not 1, but TWO freaking field goals that would have given Miami 2 more wins instantly. Last year, our O-line lost us AT LEAST 2 games(probably 3 or 4) late in the game because they couldn't block anyone. You can literally go back through each and every season for the last 15 yrs (or more) and count at least 3-4 games that Miami should have won. EVERY DAMN SEASON.....so, I feel ya when you talk about 'Green Bay needing the entire game to win', and 'Miami can play with anyone'.....but regardless of who this team plays, there's STILL the same problem-we have a head coach/coaching staff that makes braindead decisions with the game on the line. 2+ yrs in, and Joe is STILL talking about how he made a vital mistake managing the clock....REALLY JOE?!!!!! After 2+ yrs, with his damn job on the line( and rightfully so), he's STILL coaching 'not to lose', rather than playing to WIN THE DAMN GAME!!!!! This team is in SUCH dire need of a quality head coach, it truly is pathetic. Tannehill has gotten tons of criticism, I might be his biggest critic as I've said several times I don't believe he's our qb. BUT, who really knows how good/great he might be with a SERIOUS head coach to learn from. Good Lord, he could be 'all world' if he played for the Patriots!! No, Chicago shouldn't be a difficult game for Miami. Either should the Jags. But it still goes back to what continues to plague this team....horribly pathetic coaching. And unfortunately, that is not going to change until the season is over. Chicago in a laugher, 31-17.The Packers game was a tough loss. I agree with much of the blame going to the coach. That said, the players were a part of the loss also. A few positives: J. Landry had a great game, Tannehill played very well in the second half. The defense played terrific in the first half & kept the Fins in the game until the end. The Special Teams unit played real well. It feels like the chances to have a winning season & possibly getting to the playoffs are over. Is it really though? The Fins are 2-3. The division leading Pats have one less loss than the Fins & the Fins have 11 games still left to play and one of their remaining games will be against the Pats. A win against Chicago & the Fins are back to 500. That's not ideal but the next game is against the Jaguars. The team could be back on track to have a winning record. If it takes the Packers 59 minutes and 57 seconds to beat the Fins then I think the Fins have a chance to beat just about any team. That said, it's time for the Fins to learn how to put teams away late in a game. A better start by the offense could help also. Could you imagine how good the Fins would be if the offense played as well in the first half as they do in the second half of games? More often than not the Fins defense will play well enough to win. This next game will show what type of character that the team has. I'd like to see this team start a winning streak.
Miami got "Marino'd".
No Miami was sabotaged by its own coach...he waffled on a third down call that may have won the game.
If by its own coach you mean the OC and not Philbin, since the OC is the one actually calling the plays - then yeah - Or the inept DC
Guarenteed to be another coaching blunder(or 3) on Miami's part, the players are already calling out their play callers, and Joe Philbin is yet to truly comprehend the purpose of timeouts and clock management. Chicago in a barn burner, 31-17. Let the beheadings begin....pleaseHey all- Bears fan here. I dont know what to make of my team. Theyve been inconsistent, and oddly enough are 0-2 at home. Tough loss for you guys last week...trust me I was pulling for the Dolphins, lol. Its really hard to gauge a matchup with teams that only square off every 4 years. The Bears may have found a spark on defense- the best LB play Iv seen in quite sometime came from backups at all 3 positions. Sure, its one game, but it sure was nice to see these young pups flow to the ball and plug gaps- thats been woefully missing over the last 20 games or so. Should be a close game. GL- and no injuries.
~cheers!
Agreed BLH two inconsistent teams which is frustrating because you know that they're better than that. Whoever can make less mistakes will win this game.
Cards I'm just hoping that Philbin has learned from his past mistakes because you are correct he will be gone if he doesn't. Coyle as well but I'll give him a pass based on the snap count last game...that D did well to hang in there as long as they did. Personnel was simply tired!

I REEEAALLLY think you're on too much of an emotional-low from that loss vs GB. And trust me, I've been there. The whole Bears fan base has thought the season was over after every loss this year, lol. However, the only way I really see the Bears putting away Miami handedly is if the team itself feels the same way. Which is entirely impossible, given the fact that historically, a tough loss at home like that followed by a road game can turn to disaster if you don't go in with the right mindset.
But unless the team comes out flat and is demoralized after last week, this should be a close game. It's a game I believe the Bears will win at home. But that being said, every Bears game that the majority here thought this team would win, they've lost (BUF, CAR, GB). And every win, has been a game where the majority gave them no chance (@SF, @NYJ, @ATL). It's been a roller coaster first six weeks, and don't be shocked if the Bears hand you one Sunday.
However, I do think if the Bears offense shows up and puts a full game together, that they should post their first victory at home. In a tight one. I'd say along the lines of 27-21, with the defense making a late stop to seal it. Sometimes in the NFL too, it's a matter of poor timing. The Bears players have been talking all week about how important it is for them to get a win at home this week. I think they find a way to do it.
All of that being said, I think the Phins could definitely pull one out. They have a pretty talented team, and a tough defense. Unfortunately, it sounds like there have been some mistakes made on the coaching side. I don't watch every Dolphins game, so I'm really not sure about all of that.
