2025 Miami Dolphins - 4-7, Commanders just wanted to lose that one more. (108 Viewers)

So the Phins are winning out and going 10-7, is that what we all see now?

You forgot that they will end up as the 8 seed in the AFC just missing the playoffs in that scenario...

No. They sneak into the WC to get blown out in Buffalo, as is tradition.

I saw where it's like only 40% chance at 10-7, I remember when Flores missed the Playoffs at 10-7 but let's not talk about him

-It should be noted that Miami isn't very good at picking in the Draft, at least not the last couple decades with a few exceptions
So while on one hand I want the Phins to get a higher pick, on the other they typically whiff when they have to pick in the Top 5

-If Miami pushes off from Tua in the off season, Pre June/Post June, trade or release or whatever, it's gonna take the dead cap hits to an all time NFL record
You've already sunk the money into Tua, and unless Miami has some direct line to hiring an actual head coach, let McDaniel stay as long as Tua is gonna be the starter
Miami needs an OL, the left side with Paul-Rookie LG-Brewer...that's fine but Tua has no blindside starters at RG or RT, both Daniels and Austin Jackson have started 1 game each...
I like to criticize Tua but I bet we'd be 5-5 vs 3-7 if we had any kind of production from the right side of that OL...and still Achane is finding chunk plays
It looked so good when Miami had an OL for part of a season or two

-What I would like to see is Miami continue to pour resources and picks into the OL/DL and also the Secondary is going to need some attention IMHO...
If we can find an impact skill player with one of the 3 third Rd picks, go for it. The other 4 Top 100 should be used to get better on both sides of the Line
If we would build the foundation and do it right, I think eventually we could find a QB the way Tampa found Baker and Indy found Daniel Jones

Good to see you Gator
Cheers!

I'm not sure I ever saw a team try and give a game away more and still win. It's almost like McDaniel was being the team player and trying to lose for the draft pick. How you don't kick the FG with a minute plus left with the other team out of time outs is beyond me. Instead you turn it over and they march down the field and have a FG to win it. Then in OT you decide to kick away only to have them throw an INT. Commanders just wanted that draft spot more.

This team is going to run off a couple wins the next few weeks over the Saints and Jets and likely beat the Bengals and end up with 7 wins and end up about 6 or 7 picks later then they should have.

Glass half full take is that at least this will be good tape for the new GM to evaluate the players on the roster with.
