Grier is a yes man. Always has been. That’s how he worked his way up. Grier is not the problem. Ross is the problem. Grier is just the fall guy for doing Ross’ bidding, even when the bidding was bad decisions.
Dolphins are likely nothing more than a play thing to Ross....Mickey Arison is no different really imo.

Ross is far from Jerry Jones.. he does not pretend to be knowledgeable about running football operations. He hires people his instincts believes can run a proper winning franchise.

And he has not spared any expense, it has been a blank checkbook just like Huizenga..

Problem is, both he and Huizenga have struck out 100% of the time. One hundred percent. It is remarkable to get it wrong that many times consistently.

We have had these tiny moments of success, the Ricky Williams era, had some elite defenses under Jimmy Johnson, Wannatedt and Saban.Chad Pennington gave us a good season, got a single good season with Gase and Tannehill.. had back to back wildcard appearances with Mcdaniels where we got smoked and completely overmatched like we didnt belong, and our “franchise qb” Tua wasnt available due to injury.

It is tiresome to watch the same nonsense with this franchise . I dont let them stress me out anymore.

All i know is if we dont get the quarterback situation figured out correctly with a real quarterback, we are going to watch Josh Allen rule our division for the next decade like we did Brady

There is no logical reason why the Dolphins would be so bad at all of these personnel decisions unless it was on Ross. You can have an open checkbook and give your trusted advisors carte blanche, but if thizs advisors are **** the team is done.

I think that is mostly the case with Ross. I also think he likes yes men and Grier is the type of guy to be like “ok well if we go down this road of acquiring young talent we can be a contender for years to come, but since you want to win now we can give up on that plan without a fight and go back to doing the same **** the Dolphins have done since Ross acquired the team”

Whatever the boss wants.

I'll be very surprised if when its all said and done A'ja isn't seen as the "Michael Jordan" of women's basketball (I know, I know, you all hate the womenz and the blackz and the gayz and stuff here. Remember, you can just keep scrolling).

Incredible game from her and hell of a game winner.

Never was a fan of Russell Wilson… with that said that was some clown behavior by Brian Daboll last night. So disrespectful.

His starting qb gets knocked out and in concussion protocol.. so he is forced to send Russ.. and he gets so crazy on the sidelines because he doesnt like russ, starts going in the concussion tent to see where is Dart, starts yelling at the team doctor.. all because he doesnt want Russ out there.


There are million better ways to handle that moment, he chose the douchiest possible way to handle it. Good lord, what a human being.

It sure worked out good for the Jays. I think the Mariners used 3 starting pitchers for that win. Definitely a fun game to watch it was intense!

Tua is the Anti-clutch. His career with the Dolphins is almost done. Season is at 1-4 so it’s almost over, but still recoverable. All of upper management’s job is on the line this season. They were up, but now down. Tua needed to respond and instead the team went 3 and out with an interception. Bench him, trade him. I don’t care. He will never win on this team.

Probably gonna hear talk about the grit they showed at the end there....dgaf about any of it...as losers do, they fail to make the plays they need to make...just more junk to add to the pile of yet another lost season.

I went to the game, it was a fun time despite the loss, the tailgaters were a lot of fun, i was at the end zone by the goal posts during the entrance and anthem.

The fans were not shocked at how the game ended.. that was a great play by Herbert to shake off a sack, a sack that 30 other teams would have made..

I thimk dolphins fans are numb to the state of the dolphins.. it was soldout, and when the game ended it was like not even anger, they judt know we suck


The offense is lame, one read, bubble screen, dumbed down offense.. predictable as hell

The Dolphins have 1 playoff win in the 21st century. This is tied for worst in the nfl with Washington and Cleveland. Rock bottom. Sell the team Ross.
