Richie Incognito and Joe Philbin

Jeff Ireland for putting this shit team together.  He blew millions of dollars for the same result.  Now he's gonna pay

Starks and Soliai

These guys want 2 new big contracts, good luck! Not when you don't show up and can't stop bad RB's for TB!

Coach Philbin and the offensive line.  

SOG to every single member of the Dolphins coaching staff.

HM to Jeff Ireland for putting this crap salad together.

Wow, so many to choose from.

I'm going with Wheeler, the only hit he had the whole game was a cheap shot on the QB for a penalty that negated a much needed stop by the defense in the 4th qtr.

Honorable Mention to the coaching staff that had 11 days to prepare for a mediocre Bucs team with a rookie QB, and managed to make the Bucs look like a SB contender.

It's very difficult to pick just one turd out of a big steaming, stinky pile clogging up a toilet.

Wheeler - I've never gotten why he gets so much hate from people of these boards until now.  Missed tackles, faked badly on a few plays, bad reads.  The guy looks worse than the previous linebacker with long dreds everyone else hated.  (I forgot his name.  Guy from University of Florida)

Tannehill - I can't tell if he's a bad QB because he's a bad QB or because he has a bad O-line.  He doesn't make a single progression in his reads when he drops back to pass on I'd guess about 95% of the time.  That is BAD.  The reason I give him the benefit of the doubt and blame the line is because he holds the ball for like 2 seconds and fires it off.  It seems like if he doesn't' he's sure to get sacked.  Regardless it's worth mentioning since he throws the ball as much as Aaron Rodgers, Philip Rivers, Peyton Manning and Drew Brees yet has a HUGE difference in impact on games.  He didn't play bad today but he's not someone we need to rely on to throw the ball 40+ times a game almost every damn game.  

Lamar Miller / Daniel Thomas - OK, Daniel Thomas is a bad running back.  He's had his shot yet he's in there every game taking carries away from the clearly more talented back.  I don't blame him for getting tackled for the safety but it seems like our crappy backs can't break a tackle even going up against a defensive line of arm-less 80 year old ladies.  Lamar Miller has been a humongous disappointment for me.  I was high on him coming out of UM and in almost every game I've seen him in this year ( and last ) he looks unmotivated.  Dude was explosive in college yet in this game looked like he has most of his NFL career so far.  Bad.  Weak.  Useless.  Pretty telling of Daniel Thomas if someone I look at in this matter is "clearly more talented"

Mike Pouncey - Da Fuq man?  Second play of the game pretty much set the pace.  We moved the ball only to get pushed back for an eventual 3 and out because you were getting bullied.  Huge penalty IMO.

Mike Wallace - What can I say that isn't what you guys are already saying and thinking?  Guy looked like shit out there.  Sure, you had Revis on you but even on running plays you looked like you couldn't be bothered enough to put half a block up.  Dropped a pass ( at least one that I can think of ) and was basically invisible out there.  What a waste of money.  But hey, he's a stand up citizen and that counts for stuff in games right?

Mike Sherman - This guy's days are numbered I think.  I used to pull my hair out over our predictable HB draws 3 out of 4 times 10 years ago.  At least we moved the ball.  This guy's play calling is abysmal.  The running game in almost every game is being abandoned way too quickly.  We're not finishing games because we're not beating up defenses with running plays.  If I had to guess Mike Sherman is calling only 1 running play for every 3-4 passing plays.  This game of course is no different from the way things are going in the year.  Look what the Bucs did.  Passed when they had to ran the ball right up the field for most of the game.  I think Miller had like 4 carries going into the half and Awful Thomas had 2 or 3.  Dolphins handed the ball off less than 15 times and threw it 1000 times.  2 net rushing yards in the end.  Worst franchise history and as we all know as Dolphins fans that is pretty god-damned awful considering we've had some real shitty running games before.  

O-line - What hasn't been said about this bunch?  They're shitty.  I was waiting for the Bucs to sack Tannehill 4 straight times to finish the game.  Blame it on all the bullying in the locker room though.  I mean, they get their asses kicked all game every game.  They should be used to it, no?

My one SOTG pick?  

It's gotta be the offensive line.  That shit's just plain old offensive the way they block.  No holes for the backs and Tannehill constantly on his back.  

The smelly Bucs fan that sat next to us. Mofugga had BO, was like 300 lbs and was eating nachos.  Bad enough we lost, but shit that was tourture.

The play-calling was abysmal again. The hurry-up with lots of short passing and an occasional deep strike was working very well, but was barely used in the second half. And at the end of the game, NO ONE was kept in to help block / pick up blitzes on the two plays that resulted in quick sacks. That's the SotG right there. The Dolphins' O-line has shown week after week that (our) four guys cannot do the job on their own.

Clay gets an honorable mention for a horrible game with several drops and what certainly looked like wrong routes.

Wallace also gets an honorable for the sloppiest route-running in the league. Typical high-physical-talent guy that has gotten away with poor route-running his whole pre-NFL career and now he's paying for those bad habits (well, the Dolphins are paying for it -- he's just getting paid). He also needs to put just a TINY bit of effort into blocking (see Hartline for instructions).

I'm also getting increasingly worried about our kicking. Yeah, there were no missed field goals today, but the length of those kickoffs is a good 10 yards shorter than they should be. After a tremendous start for the rookie kicker, this is something like the 5th game in a row without a kick out of the back of the end zone. It's costing us in returns and when coupled with the poor field goal attempts that he's had a few of, it's cause for concern, IMHO.

Steven Ross: It starts from the top.

Too many to pick just one this week so I give it to the entire team for all around suckage......this game was embarrassing!!!!!

I don't like to see the award given to more than one person, but I have to agree with AZ, you give this loss to the Dolphin's organization.  Front office for the players on the field, coaches for not preparing the team and the players for sleep walking through most of the game.  I was embarrassed, and I hope they were too.

Kevin Cryhole.  If you can't stop a basic power play that every high school team in the country learns the first week of practice, and you can't stop a 4th team running back, you have serious problems.

O-line sucked but we expected it. D-line sucked and we didn't. I also think Charles Clay had a pretty bad game. Not sure what happened to his progression. The odd thing was Omar had said the tight ends had extra practice this past week and expected them to show improvement.
