Philbin, who must have screws loose in his head or something

Tannehill was terrible on Sunday.  He threw uncatchable balls all day long.  We won despite his performance, which is pretty impressive when your QB is your worst player on a given day.  The only good thing I can say for him is that many of his throws were so horrible, they weren't able to be intercepted.

Offensive line. They gave Tannehill no time at all. Thomas and Douglas were especially bad but everyone sucked

Suh.  He can be a menacing force on any defense without the dirty plays and total disregard for other players careers and health.   But the dolphin defense, may have to face qb better than cousins,  without his services,  because he plays dirty.

Where to begin ??? ???
1. Tanny was not great at all. Taking sacks, over throwing receivers, not making good decisions.

2. Lamike James. Now is good to say that your services are no longer needed. Fumbles in preseason and fumbling in the game.

3. Offensive line.  No comment. This line obviously isn't strong and the better defenses will expose them

4. Defense continues to get shredded against the run. Alfred Morris puts 121 yds on ground.

5. Philbin and Kevin Coyle.. Wow all I can say ???

If you're talking about the "kick to the head", then I am pretty confident we won't have to worry about losing him to suspension.  I don't think you can prove it was intentional.  I showed the video to my Cowboys coworker and even he said it happens so fast and didn't look intentional.

Ditto except I'd add Lazor, Hickey, and Tannenbaum to the coaches because it is their O-line that is so pathetic.

Playing this crappy when you were supposed to win easily doesn't bode well for our future. The Dolphins were the only team to be picked by the every single ESPN "expert". This team sadly underachieved in most areas including being ready mentally. That's on everyone which is ultimately the coach's fault.

I'd say this is a pretty good assessment. 

I like the choice of Tannehill.  He was garbage early but he settled down.  The balls to Sims and Stills in the end zone were thrown out of bounds and there was no way they could be caught.

I'd like to consider Bill Lazor for shame of the game.  I found the playcalling in the red zone to be abysmal.  I think this guy needs to get his crap together.  I love his system but it seems to need adjustment in the red zone.  This is the biggest problem.

I'm going with Suh as well. I really expected more in the first game.

He is a DT who will get double teamed on almost every play and teams will run away from him and not at him. He is going to have games with only 1 or 2 tackles in the stat sheet for those reasons alone (like yesterday.) By forcing teams to do that he makes his presence felt. We are paying him to eat up double teams and make opponents change what they want to do on offense and make them uncomfortable.  Yesterday will be a typical game for Suh as (in the 2nd half at least) he dictated Washington's offense and was the main reason they did nothing after halftime.

I don't read the stat lines for Suh so don't think I misunderstand his presence at all. The guy was pancaked on the very first play and did nothing in the first half. Washington ran the ball down our throat the first and second half both. For Suh to be dictating  their offense in the second half, they averaged 5.9 yards per carry.

How many holding calls did Washington have in the 2nd half on their o-line? How many yards did they have? And did they score any points after halftime? Miami controlled the Skins offense in the 2nd half and the numbers point it out.

1st half was a totally different story. Fins defense got beat up in the 1st half...it happens! Over 16 games it will happen and happen more than once. That's why many think you don't pay a DT $60 mill guaranteed cause he can't do it alone, but we did and there ain't no looking back now. And in the 2nd half Suh did his part and was the main reason why Washington was shut down.  To say he was the "Shame of the Game" is silly.

LaMike...cya!

To endlessly dispute another's opinion is silly, especially if I have my stats go against yours. You want to say the second half was great, that is fine. I'll admit they didn't score and that is big but Washington lead in every statistical offensive category. I'm going to say someone on defense has to earn the shame in that scenario and it needs to be the guy I expected more impact (or should I say almost any impact) from.

Totally farcical stance to take but believe what ya want.
