This type of inconsistency is typical with the Phins…
The first rule of Dolphins fandom… don’t get relaxed with the Phins. Getting too comfortable will hurt you. I hold to know this by now… but I forget too easily.
I almost always try to be as even-keeled as I can… on this one I’m riding with emotions.
From the opening drive, the feeling of a ‘long day coming’ was in the air. The dread grew more palpable with each minute that passed. Albert Wilson going down was true ‘shock and awe’ from the football gods.
So here we are, heading into Week 8 with whiplash: After a great win last week, Miami has hit a wall going 95 MPH…
…and now they are tumbling towards the embankment of collapse… wounded, beaten, and humiliated.
Add insult to injury, the game wrapped up with DeVante Parker’s agent calling Adam Gase incompetent. That was cold BTW. Talk about kicking a guy in the %^$ when he’s down.
Miami likes to win or lose big time… there’s no moderation with our Phins
Anyway, back to ‘disaster Sunday’: Critics point to the offense not being good enough and some come to Miami’s defense and say injuries are mounting. They are both obviously valid, but they don’t compare on the pecking order (at least this week) to the collapse of the run defense.
Every week it’s something new, something ridiculous that makes the game close… or causes Miami to lose.
I don’t believe in curses but did Adam Gase swallow a dozen black cats?
Three Weeks ago, on the verge of beating the Bengals, Laremy Tunsil goes down with only Sam Young to replace him. Young is active and not Sterup because Young was filling in the role of inline blocker due to A.J. Derby and Gray being injured. The pressure on Young was far too much. Cincinnati caused 2 turnovers for 2 T.D.s in the 4th Qtr to win the game. It’s really hard to even make that up.
This week they have a trade partner for ‘Mr. Glass’ DeVante Parker, so they leave him inactive. Who wants to give ‘Mr. Flimsy’ the opportunity to collect a guaranteed big salary in 2019 due to the 5th Year Option? Of course, the only logical thing that can happen is Miami’s two top Wides get injured and ‘Silly Puddy’s’ agent then gets to lambaste the Head Coach. Could it turn out any other way?
Now, Gase will likely swallow crow, lose the pick, get little production from him, and release the ‘Dinged One’ in the offseason with nothing to show for it. Or more likely, knowing how the football gods hate Miami, Parker will get an incurable case of hemorrhoid from riding the bench, activate the option, and play video games on Miami’s dime in 2019.
Miami is 1-3 over their last 4 games… If they lose this week, 1-4 is a collapse
However, that situation pans out, Miami is a worn out team heading on the road to a tough Texans team. A loss will make them 4-4 with the Jets and Packers up next.
Will Ted Larsen play this week? Kenny Stills won’t. Albert Wilson is also likely done for the year. Danny Amendola is battling a shoulder injury as well. Who’s next up on the injury list?
Even the best pay per head reviews would say that a great coach would be hard-pressed to survive these many injuries. You have to admit that. But would it be different if Gase didn’t have all these injuries?
For years we’ve had to wait till next year to get a good evaluation of Ryan Tannehill due to an extenuating circumstance. It appears the same will be said about Gase. Maybe both are great and hindered by cruel fate? Or maybe not. Uncertainty appears to be the only certainty these days. I am certain of one other thing: Cruel fate has hung heavy on the Dolphins franchise for far too long. When will it end? Go Phins!!!
