On today’s DolphinsTalk.com Post Game Wrap Up Show, Mike and Tom break down the Dolphins’ 34-3 loss to the Tennesse Titans and talk about the Dolphins being eliminated from the playoffs. They talk about the poor performance from the Dolphins offense and quarterback Tua Tagovailoa in this game. They also debate if Tua is the long-term answer for the Dolphins at quarterback heading into 2022 and can Brian Flores and Chris Grier count on him to lead this team to the playoffs next season. They talk about the key moments in this game that cost Miami a win and look ahead to next week’s game vs New England. Plus, with the Dolphins season ending next week, the guys discuss the big decisions the Dolphins have to make this offseason in re-shaping this team. All of this and more on today’s DolphinsTalk.com Post Game Wrap Up Show.

The Phins gave us a ride, gave us fans hope, then “boom”, dropped it like rock on us and them just like last year’s bomb vs Buffalo in the last game of the season. The season was probably lost after losing to Jacksonville, but at least it was entertaining thereafter outside of yesterday’s debacle. If it is cold, if it is rainy, Phins will likely lose. The Christmas game vs Chiefs like 50 years ago being the lone exception. Good teams are molded to play well in bad weather, they run the ball. This team’s front office did not invest properly in running backs, or the offensive line, so what can we expect ? Playoff teams can run. Phins cannot. The best years that this franchise has ever had, were years that they could run the ball – Csonka, Kiick, Mercury years, heck, even the likes of Lamar Smith, Jay Ajayi led to playoffs. Sure, the Marino years were fun, but come playoffs, the team was exposed, no running game, a tired defense. Grier never has invested in the running game.
I will never forgive him for choosing Noah Ighbo-nobody over likely MVP Jonathan Taylor. Incredibly, that is exactly what he did. I had JT on a short list to draft with that pick. Me ! A nobody and a guy off the street, not an NFL executive ! Can you imagine this team with Jonathan Taylor ? How good it may have been for Tua, the defense getting off the field as well ?
The real playoffs start soon enough for Phins, that is scouting and drafting the right players. Unfortunately, those playoffs have not been all that kind overall either. However, last year’s trio of Waddle, Holland and Phillips again provide hope. Maybe this time it continues for a second straight year. This time investing in the running game. Tua ? Sadly, still a question.
Tua is garbage, bring on Deshaun Watson!
Not worth the multitude of headaches, complaints, and concerns – Let Alone the legal issues!!!!
