We Didn't Have Any FG Attempts

I said in chat I thought it was weird that the score was 21 instead of 9

That is funny but for real, we came to a crashing halt at their 40 yard line several times, it could have been a blow out in our favor.

Too many 0 or negative yards on 1st down with those runs right up the middle.

Needed to use screens and slants more vs that style of defense.

I can't believe that we didn't offset their constant blitzing with more screens or at least some draws or quarterback sneaks. Especially down around the goal at the end of the game. That was one thing that worries me. I felt like we did a good job of picking up their blitzes for the most part...seeing as they sent the house almost every play. But we should have had some plays to combat that constant blitzing other than making Cam stand in there and make a play on his own. He was incredible today...but I felt needed some help in various areas. Looks like we got our QB...imagine if we would have ran some screens or something more to catch them offguard...we would have blown them out. With a few more peices to our puzzle...DL...some form of a running game again...we will be a force to deal with. It was a good start...let's see where it goes from here.

Imagine being: deangelo..... Come on, just give me the ball, its 3rd and I wont lose yards....

Imagine being the o line.... All we have to do is block long enough for a short dump off so we can stay in fg range.....

I personally watched mare in warm-ups and he leg from 59, so why did we keep calling pass plays while we were in fg range?

    • shaq Thompson was begging to comeback even on a vet min but they looked at rozebum and said "nah, we good"
    • Oh I'm sure they'll try I'd just be floored of they find a taker.
    • Just look at OTC. It takes like 30 seconds. Also, ESPN just covered this today. As Dolphins coach Mike McDaniel openly mulls a quarterback change late in Tua Tagovailoa's disappointing season, here's the math on where things stand with Tagovailoa and the Dolphins. He has $54 million in fully guaranteed compensation in 2026. That breaks down as a $39 million salary and a $15 million option bonus that needs to be exercised between the first and third days of the 2026 league year in March. Additionally, on the third day of the 2026 league year, $3 million of his $31 million 2027 salary becomes fully guaranteed. So if he's on Miami's roster as of 4 p.m. ET on March 13, the Dolphins will be on the hook for $57 million guaranteed.   If they were to release him prior to that date, they'd still have to pay him the $54 million in 2026 cash and would absorb $99.2 million in dead salary cap charges. (They could spread that out over two years if they designated him a post-June 1 release, but they'd still take $67.4 million in dead money charges on their 2026 cap and the remaining $31.8 million in 2027.) If they were to find a way to trade Tagovailoa before March 13, the acquiring team would become responsible for the $54 million in 2026 salary and bonuses, and the Dolphins' dead-money charge would drop to $45.2 million. If they traded him after March 13, presumably they'd be on the hook for the $15 million option bonus, while the new team would take the $39 million salary; the Dolphins' dead-money charge would be $60.2 million.   None of this is even close to ideal, obviously, as it would leave Miami in a terrible cap situation and also without a quarterback. The Broncos took $80 million in dead-money charges (spread over two years) when they released Russell Wilson in 2024, and they managed to make the playoffs last season and currently hold the 1-seed in the AFC playoff field for this season. So huge dead-money charges don't necessarily kill a team's chances. But one of the reasons it has worked for Denver is it found a first-round QB in Bo Nix who could play right away.   If the Dolphins bench Tagovailoa this week, it'd be for either Zach Wilson or rookie Quinn Ewers, either of whom could theoretically be a 2026 starting option if they show enough in these remaining three weeks. But moving on from Tagovailoa would probably require the Dolphins to be players in that Mac Jones/Kyler Murray/etc. second-chance QB market if they want to compete next year. Not a great spot for whoever their next general manager turns out to be. https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/47324378/nfl-week-16-buzz-news-updates-fantasy-intel-questions-predictions#trades
