you can only fight the refs so long.. that was terribly one sided. if our qb got taken out last week for a concussion and gets flagged for intentional grounding, we should receive the same. as soon as our offense starts moving. bam. holding calls.big someone drops the ball, we only look at where the ball is placed if it’s the vikings. it was stupid and you could tell from the first 10 minutes who the nfl wanted to win.
I just watched McDaniel's presser. Maybe I'm just sad and sentimental from the loss but I really believe in this guy. I think he's truly authentic. Wants to learn from failure and wants to push the team to stop making excuses. He's not fiery, no. But what he says has meaning and I really hope the players keep trying and stand behind him. I really like him and. I hope we are patient with him.
After years of not being able to ever do it for a myriad of reasons, my son, my brother-in-law and I will be going to a game together for the first time.
Cupcake... ok I've been watching this team for nearly 30 Years so the ridiculous that comes from some of these people is toxic. Yeah it's a year with promise. It's a new coach and a new system so calm down with all the negative bs. It sucks I get it. Everybody needs a place to vent. So I do know cupcake what death is. I work in the business of trying to save it
Pisses me off the most that even with all the idiocy our defense played lights out and our offense (Teddy) finally woke up only for Waddle to blue ball us and then get injured on top of it....
We gotta stop using excuses and feeling sorry for ourselves. Every team has injuries and still finds a way to win. Look at the Patriots, they’re using a qb most ppl have never heard of and are killing it.
I mean I’m pissed at these losses, but at the same time. We lost by only 8 today when we had no business keeping it that close. When we’re healthy we actually are a good team. And all the idiots saying McDaniel is trash are the same clowns who said Skylar and teddy should start. Rough start sure but dam these hot takes have to stop
Injuries was not the reason we lost this game or the last. It’s undisciplined penalties and constant mistakes. We had this game in reach for a while. We should have scored twice in the beginning with Skylar before 4 penalties for 40 yards taking us out of FG range twice.
There’s nothing wrong with self deprecation, but there comes a point in which there’s literally no point in watching a team if you’re just going to expect them to lose. Like not joking it defeats the purpose of sports.
My main issue with this game is that it fucking happened again. The playbook was changed to just try and get yards in the 4th. Why are we not always doing crossing routes or screens with hill and waddle. The same shit happened in the 4th of the Baltimore game. The playbook was changed and it worked. Why does it take so long to adapt?
We sort of surprised ourselves starting 3-0. 3-3 is about where we should be, just didn’t expect it to have sorted out as it did. Really just needed to get healthy this week. Looks like we caught a few more injuries. Needham going down is a problem. Skyler getting hurt is a problem. Hopefully Waddle is okay (just because he went back in means nothing, the guy would play with a broken arm). Otherwise, it’s about as expected this week.
Still need to work on penalties; that hurt a lot of our momentum today. And OL as their usual selves unable to protect the QB long enough to do anything.
Hopefully Armstead and Jackson will be back next week along with Tua. And I can't believe I'm hoping for Austin Jackson to get back on the field but even if he just takes Liam's spot at guard I will be happy
We were down 14… BUT, you do go for two bc you basically get two chances to convert at least of them. We didn’t get the first one, but if we did score again you get another chance to still tie the game. If you get the first one, then you only need a field goal XP
So, most teams succeed on two point conversions 50% of the time. That’s the key to the belief that going for it down two scores is the right call. You expect to make one out of two.
Except it’s a 50% chance each time you do it. If I flip a coin twice it’s not a guarantee one will be heads and one will land tails. Not necessarily arguing with the decision to go for two, but there is still a lot of risk involved. Ultimately it didn’t matter anyways.
And just like that 3-3. Disappointing game but such is life. Hopefully Tua can come back healthy and have some kind of protection so we don’t lose him again.
How did we lose this game. Like they practiced all week to do this or something. The things they’ve done to shoot them selves in the foot is just so infuriating
You are joking right? Our starting QB is out, Our 3rd String got knocked out and Teddy B sucks ass. Penalty after Penalty so on and so forth and a combination of injuries and bad luck.
When you're missing QB1, today's starting QB, both starting tackles, starting defensive end leaves game, CB2, CB3 leaves injured and probably another one or two I'm missing, what did you think would happen? It's not a coincidence we played well with our starters.
Because if you don’t get it it’s still technically a 1 possession game. If you do get it then you win the game with a TD and a PAT instead of just a tie game. Odds are that you’ll get 1 of 2 2pt attempts so it’s just playing the numbers.
I’d argue 6-0. I don’t see us losing the bengals game. We were by far the better team. Jets is divisional, but I think we beat them. And today we’d have scored 40 with Tua. I’m certain.
you can only fight the refs so long.. that was terribly one sided. if our qb got taken out last week for a concussion and gets flagged for intentional grounding, we should receive the same. as soon as our offense starts moving. bam. holding calls.big someone drops the ball, we only look at where the ball is placed if it’s the vikings. it was stupid and you could tell from the first 10 minutes who the nfl wanted to win.
Okay but like, the calls were justified. At no point in the history of the NFL have the vikings been the "darling".
I just watched McDaniel's presser. Maybe I'm just sad and sentimental from the loss but I really believe in this guy. I think he's truly authentic. Wants to learn from failure and wants to push the team to stop making excuses. He's not fiery, no. But what he says has meaning and I really hope the players keep trying and stand behind him.

We believe in you! 🐬🐬🐬Fins Up!
Gesicki’s griddy or this o line without Armstead, your life on the line, what you choosing?
To tie an anchor to myself and swim with the dolphins
3-3 is mediocre. Maybe next week we wont be mediocre
I see why coach started Skylar. We have to have the worst OL in the NFL.
This place is toxic....
Cupcake... ok I've been watching this team for nearly 30 Years so the ridiculous that comes from some of these people is toxic. Yeah it's a year with promise. It's a new coach and a new system so calm down with all the negative bs. It sucks I get it. Everybody needs a place to vent. So I do know cupcake what death is. I work in the business of trying to save it
Toughen up cupcake.
You’re right. We’re supposed to be happy losing 3 back to back weeks
At least we can save cap by cutting Teddy? Skylar can be QB2
That’s likely what will happen.
Well… the first 3 weeks was fun. Felt pride for the first time in years.
I almost wish I hadn’t felt it so I couldn’t lose it like this.
I like McDaniel. But this soft coaching and being everyone’s friend is kind of a reflection of the penalties and mental mistakes.
You're getting down voted but you're 100% right. There's clearly a lack of discipline in the workplace. He's gotta tighten it up.
What are you even talking about
There better be no defense slander here they played lights out and gave the offense opportunity after opportunity and they didn't capitalise
No wonder this is your 4th team in 3 years Bridgewater
HOW!!!!! does Teddy Bridgewater have 329 passing yards???
Tyreek made him look like a star for a few drives.
Like 200 yards in garbage time
I blame the guy with waddle costume
I got bad luck vibes from seeing that
Pisses me off the most that even with all the idiocy our defense played lights out and our offense (Teddy) finally woke up only for Waddle to blue ball us and then get injured on top of it....
I guess we can at least celebrate that we aren’t the Browns
Thank you for existing Florida Panthers
And Miami Heat
The Steelers beat the Buccaneers if they can beat Tom Brady just imagine next sunday night
Pickett has a concussion. We’ll see who starts for them.
[удалено]
Y’all who are upset over the last 3 weeks are funny bro. Wtf is the team supposed to do when there’s key injuries at almost every major position?
We 100% should have won this game if we had any kind of decent QB play prior to the 4th
We gotta stop using excuses and feeling sorry for ourselves. Every team has injuries and still finds a way to win. Look at the Patriots, they’re using a qb most ppl have never heard of and are killing it.
I mean I’m pissed at these losses, but at the same time. We lost by only 8 today when we had no business keeping it that close. When we’re healthy we actually are a good team.

You're right but it still hurts.
Not lose to the Jets.
Look guys there’s 17 games in a season. Tua’s back next week, we can right this ship.
The Dolphins will be okay, just believe Tua is coming back and we will be better.
Tua will have another concussion in the first few plays. That’s just kinda what happens
Hopefully we get a lot more back than just Tua soon. D and o line needs our guys back.
There’s nothing wrong with self deprecation, but there comes a point in which there’s literally no point in watching a team if you’re just going to expect them to lose. Like not joking it defeats the purpose of sports.
[удалено]
This game was like watching a bunch of rodeo clowns in dolphins uniforms run around the field.
Hopefully this is the last time we finish a game with a different quarterback than who started it or I don’t know what I’m going to do
My main issue with this game is that it fucking happened again. The playbook was changed to just try and get yards in the 4th. Why are we not always doing crossing routes or screens with hill and waddle. The same shit happened in the 4th of the Baltimore game. The playbook was changed and it worked. Why does it take so long to adapt?
Because it’s garbage time with Teddy. The last interception is why they don’t do it all game. Skylar was doing it and moving the ball just fine.
Teddy trash can has shown he can’t run this team
Cursed
I want Teddy DogShitSewerWater cut by the end of the day.
He was giving me “Smokin’ Jay Cutler” vibes today
I feel like win was within the grasp.. but all the mistakes, penalties, sacks, INTs and fumble added up in the end. Gotta get better than this
Welcome back to being MID SMH
Rizzi on this team... Our ST play is atrocious
That waddle fumble is going to haunt me for a bit
Hopefully it haunts Waddle, too
In a week of crazy "upsets" so far, we still can expect the Fins to be the Fins.
Don’t look now but it’s a battle for last place in the division.
[удалено]
Get fucked
“Hey friends and dolphinsbros, my team just beat you but I’m coming in peace for those updooterinos!”
10 penalties for 97 yards is plenty to be concerned about. Go back to your sub.
We sort of surprised ourselves starting 3-0. 3-3 is about where we should be, just didn’t expect it to have sorted out as it did. Really just needed to get healthy this week. Looks like we caught a few more injuries. Needham going down is a problem. Skyler getting hurt is a problem. Hopefully Waddle is okay (just because he went back in means nothing, the guy would play with a broken arm). Otherwise, it’s about as expected this week.
Our fan base is so toxic. Imagine someone coming in our sub and complimenting our team and downvoting them.
Shut up bro
Can you guys please beat the bills
Just fuck outta here
Is Waddle okay?
Who knows? He’d have gone back in with a broken arm so we have to wait and see.
Still need to work on penalties; that hurt a lot of our momentum today. And OL as their usual selves unable to protect the QB long enough to do anything.
Hopefully Armstead and Jackson will be back next week along with Tua. And I can't believe I'm hoping for Austin Jackson to get back on the field but even if he just takes Liam's spot at guard I will be happy
They better get their protection up once Tua returns. If he gets injured again this season is over.
Can't believe Vikings go 5-1 with this team.
Every game has been like this for us as well
Can’t believe the Dolphins been ass for over 25 years
Crazy that this game was close with this injured secondary. This team will be fine with Tua back.
It baffles me how so many people don’t get the mathematical advantage of going for 2 when down 8 after a TD score
On top of all this, Sanders making 2 XP isn’t even automatic at this point in time.
We were down 14… BUT, you do go for two bc you basically get two chances to convert at least of them. We didn’t get the first one, but if we did score again you get another chance to still tie the game. If you get the first one, then you only need a field goal XP
We would have been down 7 with a regular extra point so that part of your post doesn't make any sense.
That's Murica for you. Math is hard.
I mean most of these people probably didn’t bother paying attention in intro to stats class
Alcohol, Rage and incompetence
Well... I'm going to the movies.. Ima watch Barbarian. See everyone here next week.. Have a safe wknd
Let me know how it is
Sad we lost, but time to keep moving on! Have a great week!
Same old dolphins. Absolutely nothing has changed
Same ol’ dolphins
So, most teams succeed on two point conversions 50% of the time. That’s the key to the belief that going for it down two scores is the right call. You expect to make one out of two.
Except it’s a 50% chance each time you do it. If I flip a coin twice it’s not a guarantee one will be heads and one will land tails. Not necessarily arguing with the decision to go for two, but there is still a lot of risk involved. Ultimately it didn’t matter anyways.
Why not just take the extra point. Then go for two to win.
Big brain
Jets won today lmaoo
And Pats…
[удалено]
We did this with Gase too. Coaching scared
Tua needs to come back immediately.
Not with this O Line
Vikings and players fumbling the game away on the other team.
And just like that 3-3. Disappointing game but such is life. Hopefully Tua can come back healthy and have some kind of protection so we don’t lose him again.
All I know is pain
How can you maintain?
There was no recovering after getting 5 penalties in one drive
The missed field goal doesn't help either
This team is hot garbage
Straight into the breadbasket lol. Never chip the onside up, kick the top of the ball and cause a scramble
Wack ass effort from this team today
That was a pathetic onside kick
If the Vikings were coached by Mike McDaniel right now they would be forward passing to their double covered guy with their back up quarterback.
How is that a bad decision to go for two? It literally makes no difference at all.
now they need to get a 2pt to even tie the game when they could have tied it with 2 7s
Yeah there was a ton of shitty coaching today but that's wasn't it
That is probably the worst onside kick I have ever seen.
LMFAOOOOOO
Sanders kicked to himself then gave up on it.
Special team sucks. Offense sucks Defense did well but collapsed
Aight I’m out
Well the game is over lol
Really thats the kick you try with 3 guys there
Well at least I don't have to eat an onion now so there's that
That was the sort of onside kick that we deserved
that makes 0 sense to go for 2. it’s a hypothetical win scenario. i get going for it to actually win (although would disagree with it).
Still a one possession game either way
He kicked it to him self?
And then didn’t really try for it
Not even close
How did we lose this game. Like they practiced all week to do this or something. The things they’ve done to shoot them selves in the foot is just so infuriating
You are joking right? Our starting QB is out, Our 3rd String got knocked out and Teddy B sucks ass. Penalty after Penalty so on and so forth and a combination of injuries and bad luck.
Ugly game. Tua can't come back soon enough.
2 extra points equal one 2 point conversion
Holy shit what an incompetent coach.
Chill mate. We have a tone of injuries and injuries are part of the game.
For going for the correct statistical way to win a game?
[удалено]
That was a good call actually. Cause if we got the conversion and the inside kick and scored, we win. Kicking an extra point wouldn’t have mattered
I would have an opinion about them going for two but at this point who really gives a fuck
How are the Patriots doing with their backup QB?
There playing shitty teams we lost to defending afc champs,the 5-1 vikes and a jets team that just beat the packers
Idk if I agree with going for 2 with the offense we have out there….
It was the right call. Just didn’t execute it well.
If we recover this inside kick I will eat an onion and I fucking HATE onions
Reality sets in, the phins are a very mediocre team
When you're missing QB1, today's starting QB, both starting tackles, starting defensive end leaves game, CB2, CB3 leaves injured and probably another one or two I'm missing, what did you think would happen? It's not a coincidence we played well with our starters.
Once again the preseason hype was just that. Hype
Here we go.... miracle in Miami part deux redux the reckoning
That was a good play call, gesicki needed to catch that
I swear every time I look it's a high snap.
I dont get it
I don't understand that call whatsoever
Can’t really blame McDaniel for trying to go for the W. We need to successfully onside kick
WHY? Why go for 2?
I think they was trying to get the 2 and then onside kick with hopeful game winning TD.
Absolutely ridiculous
Going for 2 is smart there. If we didn't get it we get another chance. If we do get it and get the onside back 7 wins
Some Ph.D. level Florida math right here
ok but now if they get a TD and don’t get a 2pt they lose
Yea but now even if you get it back and score you lose if you can't get the 2
Would be fitting if we somehow get the inside kick, score a TD then lose cuz we went for two and didn't need to
Fucking literally
Waddle, Noah and Sanders should give up their game checks. They did jack shit today.
Waddle 6 catches for 129 yards? Lol yea, Jack shit I guess
Thats a dumb fucking call. If youre playing to win save it for the 2nd td. Not the first. Now team is less likely to believe they have a chance
Why go for 2 there…? Can someone explain?
Could potentially set you up for a W if you get just one more TD
Because if you don’t get it it’s still technically a 1 possession game. If you do get it then you win the game with a TD and a PAT instead of just a tie game. Odds are that you’ll get 1 of 2 2pt attempts so it’s just playing the numbers.
Mcdaniel is awful
In theory if you make it there, onside kick recover, touchdown extra point you win by one
If you get it, 7 wins. If you don't, you get another chance to tie. The proposition of scoring again is so low you might as well take the chance.
Cause we’re cursed. No reason to go for 2
But why to Gexesy!!! The pass to Sherfield was there.
Can we push the analytics folks right in the throat?
Why
WHY would you go for the 2 pt conversion? Just go for two touchdowns for 7
I agree.
Hands on the ball. Got to catch it Gesicki
Now we HAVE to go for 2 if we get another score. Weird call.
Probability, if the odds of making a 2 point conversion is around 50%, odds of missing two is 25%
He was being aggressive. An onside recovery is low % anyway. If we get the 2 point and the onside we win with a TD
Super weird. I will watch the press conference for the reason.
Terrible
We would have been 5-1 if Tua didn't get injured SMH
I honestly believe we'd be 6 and 0 if he didn't get injured
I don’t see which game we lose with Tua in.
I’d argue 6-0. I don’t see us losing the bengals game. We were by far the better team. Jets is divisional, but I think we beat them. And today we’d have scored 40 with Tua. I’m certain.
Good to see waddle back out there
Hopefully he doesn’t fumble again
Why go for 2 there?
Every year we cheap out on OL and HC. This is nothing new. And we're seeing it all over again.
