Game Thread: Miami Dolphins 2021-2022 Regular Season Week 17 @ Tennessee Titans

First real team the Dolphins have faced in a long time

Force Tannehill to pass and you'll win this game.

Have to double AJ Brown as well. That would take away their main team strategy. I don't know if Julio is playing but he hasn't been good all year. It's definitely a winnable game...should be a good one.

It’s time for the Dolphins to bring in Jacoby — this one is over — the season is over . There has been little to nothing to play for since terrible Tua was drafted — for the 2021-2022, this loss makes it official that there is nothing to play for this season — it’s time to look toward the future — not just next season but for years to come , there will be NOTHING for the Dolphins to play for as long as Terrible Tua is around— the quicker they make a change , the quicker they can start to get this organization back on track .

Tua Turntheballova is a bust — another Super Bowl-less season for the bust.

 

[Paolo305613]

I can see it now — how some clowns in here will blame the defense and make up other excuses as to why the Dolphins lose this one and subsequently their playoff hopes — as opppse to sticking to the facts and realizing terrible Tua cost them the game — he’s not fooling this Titans defense . Against a real team , real defense — he gets exposed

Turnover by Tua Turntheballova

 

[Paolo305613]

A turnover by Tua Turntheballova seals the Fins season — fittingly .

This is proof that the winning streak by the Dolphins was a fluke — The only real team they beat during the streak was the Ravens and that was because they were banged up at time .

 

[Paolo305613]

As stated on the broadcast — a Chargers win officially eliminates the Dolphins — the Chargers have an actual quality QB so they have a good chance of getting job done .

 

[Paolo305613]

Bengals going to the playoffs — it pays to draft the right QB

 

[FlyerFinFan]

Tua wasn't great today Paolo but this wasn't all on him. 6th worst drops in NFL. Two horrific PI calls missed today put the game out of reach. Ultimately they need to fix the oline we all know this. Establish a better running game which would help any QB. They actually were running well but abandoned it again today why? That is the biggest Q in my opinion.

As I expected , here come the excuses for the bum as soon as the streak ends . When the streak was on — he was the second coming — even though reasonable minds know the streak was a product of great defense and a soft schedule . Don’t blame the refs , either — there was one too many empty possession on offense abs that’s on terrible Tua. Don’t blame the running game — the running game was fine — if anything , rely on it more considering having a worthless QB. They get away from the run because they know Terrible Tua will lose confidence in himself if he isn’t dropping back to pass every play . Don’t blame dropped passes — maybe he should make better throws . All these things you are making excuses for were the same things he was getting praised for during the streak while being carried by the team . Don’t wait until they lost to turn them into excuses . It doesn’t work . This loss was on him .

He’s no Burrow or Herbert — that’s why this team isn’t going to the playoffs . They drafted the wrong QB.

He wasn’t making excuses. He even said Tua wasn’t good today. When you get beat that bad, the whole team flat out sucked. One player not having his best day doesn’t cause a team to get beat by that margin.

Chargers getting the job done 17-0 at the half . Dolphins all but officially eliminated now .

And now an excuse for the excuse

Where did the great Defense go today? Running game fine, 76 yards is not fine, it is weak. Continue in with your poor team analysis and scouting reports as I'm sure you will.

You are correct, It was a complete team and coaching failure. To play like that with a playoff spot on the line is tough to swallow. Tua lives rent free in Paolo's head, so all things that are bad is Tua's fault.

The defense played about as well as they could — it was only a matter of time before they folded due to having to carry the team throughout the entire winning streak because terrible Tua isn’t good enough to get the job done . It’s just a fact . Not my problem that you can’t face it .

As to the running game — the running game has been lacking all season but the reason for that is not the OL or anything wrong with the RB corps — the issue is the lack of run-pass balance in play calling . Unfortunately, for terrible Tua to feel important and be useful , they have to make themselves one-dimensional by being a pass-heavy offense. He’s the problem .

Paolo...Tua doesn't call the plays. You are dead on that they abandoned the run way too early especially when having success but that's on the OC's. We talk about this every year and every year it's the same pass pass pass and we wonder why our QB's suffer. Same thing happened with Tanny. The oline is weak no doubt about it but at the same time when they actually run block and its cold rain outside run the damn ball! I'm blaming this more than anything this week. Running the ball was working would have kept the D fresh and the game closer. Tua definitely has to get better in cold weather but this game plan was flawed to begin with. I'd fire one of those OC's immediately to prove a point. If they don't have more balance next week fire the 2nd one too!

I've never seen Paolo so happy!

No one is arguing the job of the OC calling plays. The issue is he has to call plays that will keep Terrible Tua feeling happy and useful — that’s the reason for the lack of balance in play calling —Terrible Tua is the blame for this .
