I mean people have only been pumping Miami for about 3 years now and for 3 years they haven’t beating good teams and haven’t shown they can win in cold weather. Someday I guess? Miami is just fools gold. 

Imagine if Tua played in Buffalo. The organization would be a laughing stock.

But it’s Miami. Miami is sexy. Influencers live there, get tax breaks, and wear luxury designer fashion. The sun shines and people smile their fake smiles. Leads to extreme arrogance. But when it gets tough they have no answers.

 

Fool’s gold is apt.

The Dolphins said they will release Calais Campbell if they're out of contention. That time is getting close.

Mike McDaniel always sounds drunk whenever he speaks 

Probably lost dexterity in his lips with the cold temps

He throws screens and 3 yard passes anything past ten yards has looked bad 

yep. Hill used to just go up and get it and bail him out. Today it’s too cold and he’s making business decisions.

I noticed it in other interviews but it’s certainly more pronounced in that that sideline one.

He had one incompletion going into that drive. Just a bad drive. 

 

He can complete quick short passes. He can't throw it downfield with any kind of consistency though. Really hard to win that way.

Maybe there's something to this cold thing with the Fish.  I always just thought it was because they happened to play superior opponents on the road.  Those two Tua overthrows were bad though.

[Ethan in Cleveland]

Dolphins leading rusher at the half is Tua with 6 yards!!

Looks like an AFCE title may be in play Sun night!

And?? Cold for both teams. Such a cheesy line. (Not by you but I mean in general). Cold plays against both teams 100%.

Miami wins this one easy

Care to revisit this fear?

They don't even try to throw much downfield.  Maybe the cover 2 is taking away Hill and Waddle,  but they need to try. 

I don't think McDaniels is doing a good job coaching.

Miami's offense is just way too dink and dunk to be consistently sustainable. Eventually you have to push the ball downfield and Tua can't do it. They're afraid to let him hold the ball long enough for those plays to develop.

This is it in a nutshell.

 

Tua is so limited, no mobility, no arm, so it’s been reduced to checkdowns and screens.

 

They're going to have to try tunnel screens and reverses to Hill and Waddle just to force them the ball. 

 

And the broadcast pointed it out, not enough homegrown talent. Armstead has been on one leg for the past two seasons, lost Wilkins, Van Ginkel in FA, traded a 1st for Chubb and he’s been hurt.

..or winning teams. They have not won against a team with a winning record either. That's the one I think it important.

[Kelly to Allen]

Jordan love is already a top 3 QB IMO. He's one of the closest to Allen and Mahomes 

[Special K]

If Tua isn't throwing a pass that is behind the LOS, or more than three yards down the field, he is completely useless.

 

I'm glad Miami is stuck with him and his Swiss cheese brain for the foreseeable future...two easy wins a year for the Bills.

They're not a threat to the Bills.

They are the only threat to the bills is what I said.  NYJ and NE are awful.  Those two teams will continue to be awful is my guess.  Miami needs an offensive line badly for Tua to succeed but that's not going to happen.  They are gonna try to get the next Reek that is 8 years younger.

Yeah because they are afraid of Tua holding the ball and ending up with another concussion. Their offense has been like this since he came back from injury. He also just isn't very accurate on those intermediate and deep throws whenever it isn't 60° and sunny.

And he will end up on the Chiefs or Ravens playing for the minimum. Hope they hold onto him.

I hate the Dolphins as much as the next Bills fan, but boy, is Alec Ingold easy to root for.....
