On today’s DolphinsTalk.com Podcast, Mike is flying solo the day after Miami’s 2023 season came to an end. He discusses Mike McDaniel and why he is the biggest weakness with this Dolphins team right now. Why is McDaniel failing as a head coach and a play-caller while having one of the most talented rosters in the NFL? Mike shares his thoughts and talks about what changes he would like to see in 2024. He also talks about why the Houston Texans have officially won the “Laremy Tunsil Trade” after all of these years and how they got the better end of that deal, which, up until a few months ago, nobody would have thought. He closes the show by talking about how Dolphins fans who aren’t happy with another late-season collapse and disappointing season need to voice their displeasure to demand better and send a message that a poor product isn’t acceptable and their “fandom” can’t be taken for granted. —All this and more on this episode of the DolphinsTalk.com Podcast.

So the fact that 23 players, 10 on defense and 13:on offense, missed multiple games throughout the season had nothing to do with it? Of those 23 only two were not a starter or primary player; being Goode and Brooks. Add to the fact that receivers 3-6 couldn’t be trusted cause they couldn’t get separation. So when Waddle and Hill missed games other players didn’t step up. Just pointing out facts
Those injuries didn’t blow a 14 pt lead in 4 min vs Tenn. Those injuries didn’t blow a 4th quarter lead vs Buffalo. Miami’s offense Minus 2 guys was the same offense on the field vs KC in the playoffs as it was Week 1 vs LAC, yet only 7 pts scored.
STOP MAKING EXCUSES FOR FAILURE!!!
No but if the defense is healthy that offense doesn’t score like that, hell no.
Spot on Mike, you’re the best. Listening to you helps ease the pain.
The fact that all year long McDaniel seemed to be flustered in his play calling is an issue , and his horrendous play calling,like not running and pounding it in on 3 and 1 or inches.
The biggest issue is Tua. People need to wake up on Tua. He’s imobile,his arm stenghtt is underwhelming, and he can’t handle pressure!! He’s a QB playing in fear and can’t react. Marino and many others never played like that. This is a big issue. McDaniel offense has many”tells” and it’s because he’s trying to protect Tua.
We are 3/4yrs in this and it’s just unacceptable. If nothing changes at the QB or head coach I’m afraid we’re going to continue and beat the Lions record of longest playoff loosing streak. I don’t even plan on watching any games next year until January.
It’s a shame Miami is in a division with all cold weather teams it’s a bit unfair. La Rams won the SB , it doesn’t get cold in LA! They are in a division where they don’t really have to play many cold weather teams only exception is Seattle!!! This doesn’t work
Miami should be in the AFC South.
Miami
Jacksonville
Tampa
New Orleans or Atlanta, Carolina
Miami lost their zeal and was embarrassed when they lost to the lowly Tennessee Titans team who the got to relaxed and misjudged. You also cannot play a 4 down lineman and zone against running quarterbacks.
