Can the Dolphins even get a win against the TN Titans? Okay, the beast part of the season is over. Yes, there are some hard ones left, but now the winnable games are in sight.
I put to Dolphins nation one thought. If somehow Miami puts up 3 and 1 in the next 4 games, we would still have a very nice chance to play for something.
The Titans sincerely BELIEVE they are better than the Dolphins. Are they? Their running game sure is. I doubt any other part of their team is better than Miami's. They play in one of the weakest divisions. We play in one of the hardest. We'll see Sunday.
We have Pouncey back. We have Foster back. Yes, it looks like we lost our best corner, but TN doesn't have the passing attack to really get too worried about.. We've had 10 days to recover, get fast, and get strong.
Frankly, I hate that we are now lumped with Cleveland, but everyone in the country now believes it. It will be some time and a lot of wins before we shake this moniker. It is the reason for everyone's confidence when playing us. It makes it that much harder to get wins. We need to blow a few people out soon, or this season could get away from us. A loss Sunday would cripple the locker room. It would send our fan base into another downward spiral of despair. Coach Gase and team, let's not allow that to happen, thanks in advance.

We are not playing with any consistency. So anyone has a shot at beating us. No one fears us.
If the Titans can run the ball down our throats and Tanne-Hype plays poorly we will watch the beginning of a cancerous death to 2016.
However, if Tanne-Hype plays well early and we get ahead by 2 TDs then we can roll this game into a nice season turning home stand.
At only game 5, this game is bigger than we would like to admit.
Okay Carl, don't add to the negativity-"hype." It serves no purpose. This is the season. I agree. We have to win.
@ mad phins:
Tannepuke better?! LOL
I agree that last performance was horrible. But, to harass individual players is pointless in a team sport such as this. Tannehill knows that if he repeats a performance like the Cincinnati game, he'll be traded, cut, or reduced to 2nd string after a salary admjustment. No reason to call him names.
Miami was somewhat competitive (needed a few more talented players on offense) when Ross bought the team. When Ross hired Philbin the team took a turn for the worse. When Ross hired Tannenbaum and then made him VP hope was lost. Tannenbaum running the show with yet another inexperienced coaching staff will send this team to the bottom. They should have lost to Cleveland... this team is beyond bad.
Sparano's team had a Top 5 Rushing Defense and could run the ball to sustain drives. Philbin destroyed all of that. The current team can't run or stop the run. Tannenbaum is doing a poor job of overhauling the roster, and Gase is definitely no offensive genius. There is no way that Miami will be winning 3 out of 4. Sorry to be so negative, but Miami is going to suck until Ross sells the team and the new owner does a complete rebuild from top to bottom starting with Tannenbaum and the coaches.
Come on Roland. Give Gase a chance - his offenses are considered awesome Peyton Manning. I think I'll trust that offensive genius over your contemtious remarks. This is exactly what I mean. Why does everyone have to tear this team down? Give the current administration a few years together. We need to attempt some consistency. Give a few years, then go nuts on these guys.
I will admit I am feeling somewhat deflated to start the season 1-3. How in the world they scheduled last years last place Dolphins to start the season on the road against playoff teams for 3 out of their first 4 games is beyond comprehension. Starting out in a hole like that makes the rest of the season an uphill battle. I'm not throwing in the towel yet but a win VS. TN is almost a must win game at this point.
GO PHINS~!

Like most fans,our faith in this team is about gone...Until I see the excuse making Dolphins play and win a few games...I will consider what comes out of their mouths as hot air...because that's what it is...!

This year was never gonna be a good year... The owner may not have called it a rebuild year. But its close to that. We have a new coaching staff ( a very inexperienced staff) Gase first year head coach and trying to run the offense may be a bit much for a first time head coach and an inexperience defensive coordinator. Rookies starting all over the place and a weak secondary. I trust in Gase but let him do the rookie mistakes along with the rest of the team and grow together
Well said Andrew. Let's win 6 of the next 8 while doing that! :)
Is foster really back and at starting?
