Vic Fangio on what went wrong in Miami

Vic Fangio on what went wrong in Miami:

“Nothing really. Up until the last couple of games, we were ranked very high in defense. We were top 5 in every stat. Then we lost 6 or 7 starters over last few games”

Kind of funny that a "grumpy old man" didn't throw our lazy, undisciplined, players under the bus.

According to this Dolphins were the 23rd most injured team.

So healthier than most.  If you can only win with no injuries you can't win.

"If you ignore the beginning of the season (when the defense couldn't stop the Chargers or the Bills) and the end of the season (when the defense couldn't stop the Titans or the Ravens), the defense was actually really good"

This data is busted.

The link you provided is for 2024 (not 2023 when Fangio was in Miami), which you can see by the team W-L records.  But if you change the URL to 2023, the records change but the list is in exactly the same order.

Not that I disagree with your point but that isn't the correct season.

I thought we were talking about this year.  Didn't know you guys were still making excuses about the prior year.  But that year you were 23 as well.

I hope you aren't using that same site as "evidence" of the rankings, because - as I just explained - unless the numbers for "most injured team" were precisely identical from '23 to '24, that data is wrong.

Sounds eerily familiar to the 1993 Dolphins who were winning left and right with Scott Mitchell.   They had a 9-2 overall record, beat Dallas on Thanksgiving Day, and had the number one seed in the AFC.   Then they lost a bunch of defensive starters including Troy Vincent and Marco Coleman and proceeded to lose their final five games and miss the playoffs entirely.
