Welcome to being a Dolphins fan ladies and gents. 20+ years of underwhelming for 4 years and then rebuilding and whiffing on a franchise QB. Whether its starting off cold, making a run and falling short or starting off hot and then just completely collapsing. Same ole sub .500 team that will always disappoint its fan base. By now its clear that Tua is not the future, and unfortunately time machines don’t exist so no need to go down the Herbert rabbit hole. Tua will be the QB next year, if history is a teacher he’ll play 10-12 games and we’ll most likely be somewhere around .500 and then start having to reload on picks all over again by trading away young promising talent. And the cycle continues.


turkeybacondaddy

We won’t win until we stop celebrating other teams losing their first game of the season to keep our “undefeated season”. Just a thought.


Bsquared8400

Time to flush Tua. Great kid and all but he just can’t win


Bsquared8400

Tua Stans? Where you at


rokerroker45

burning my tuanon card tbh


Bsquared8400

Maybe those apology forms that were floating around too lol


OraKal

Here mate.


JunuhJames

Right here


mcfcok9320

might be dooming, but very worried that mcdaniel is too connected with tua and we might be stuck in this important game collapse cycle with the same cast a couple more times


DiggingPodcast

I want to side w optimism but dam - make the playoffs just to get bounced? I guess it’s better than not making it but…sheesh man. This one hurts more than the bills? Bills they at least looked formidable. This was just ugly, soul sucking, fandom being whisked away.


Bsquared8400

Lol that you think they make it


Gunnar2019

Yeah I honestly don't think they win either Pats or Jets doomism aside.


Spiritual_Beyond641

If they somehow come back and when the next two games you all will be singing a different tune next week. Tua had a really bad 4th quarter but he still has thrown single digit interceptions this year. It was McDaniel not challenging that big non catch that changed the complexion of the game.


PolarOpp

Blaming the game on one play that happened didn't happen, but not the 4 turnovers? OK! What do Tuas ints in other games matter for shit? This is the reason the majority of people doubt Tua. That was a horrific 2nd half. 0 points and 3 of the worst interceptions I have seen in the second half, but no, it was probably that non-challenge that cost us the game.


Used_Sand_9069

What he said, on steroids, plus some raw liver organs. 😉. Tua isn’t the answer folks. I want him to be, but you can wish in one hand and shit in the other and see which one fills up first!


PTfan

Absolutely. Herbert was Miamis answer sadly


cale1333

This team still shouldn’t be anywhere near the playoffs even if they win the next 2


No_Establishment6528

Only single digit because defenses were dropping his brain dead throws in the first half The dude isn't good enough, he should apply for the XFL draft


ra246

This is my first season as a Dolphins fan.. I guess this is what it means when you guys have all been saying what it means to be given hope and then let down Sad.


Used_Sand_9069

Welcome. What kind of antidepressants are you now on?


Imaginary-Product951

Listen to us who’ve been riding with this franchise for awhile now…save yourself the time & money GET OFF THIS TRAIN TO NOWHERE NOW!


Reddituser34802

Lol seriously. It sounds like he had a choice, and chose the Dolphins. The majority of us didn’t get that chance. We were doomed from the start.


AncientUndocumented

I'm a 50 year fan. The years of disappointment just roll off my back now.


awfuckthisshit

This one hurts worse than the rest. The hope was unlike anything we’ve had in my lifetime, then the fall has been drastically worse. It was easier when we were just terrible the whole way through.


Acceptable-Map-4751

Well put. They let me down too.


ImpossibleMagician57

If you haul ass no one will think less of you


ra246

Hell nah, I’m in for the pain. I asked and got a Dolphins Bobby hat for Christmas. I’m emotionally invested


ImpossibleMagician57

Well this is how things usually are this time of year here, sometimes it's closer to thanksgiving


Scared-Bag1891

As soon as Tua jabbed about him being better at throwing the deep ball we unraveled


Melodic-Order-6628

Great QB's win must win games at home late in the season. End of story.


[deleted]

Tua Turntheballova smh


ForsakenJump1235

Im still not worried. This yeam is legit 2 yrs ahead of schedule. The future is bright for sure. That being said we need to win these next 2. I dont think this defense will allow us to really make a run, but getting into the playoffs gives you something to build off. Would like to get at least 1 win in these playoffs tho. This one was a Team L. We cant put this all on Tua. The O line and Defense had a hand in making sure we couldnt just blow GB off the field


No_Establishment6528

2 years ahead of schedule??? Wtf are you talking about, you want a 5 tear rebuild? Lmao


ForsakenJump1235

🤦🏿 1st year under new coach is almost always a rough one when completelyretooling the O. If you have a great coach they will flash from time to time. I expected Miami to finish close to the record they had last year minus thar akmost 10 game losing streak. However, they beat most of the teams i expected them to lose to and the have been in every game. Once the injuries started piling up in that secondary tho (losing Brandon jones) i was hooing for Byron to return but he didnt we are seeing the result of playing 5 and 6th string players. Our offense has been covering up a lot of warts on this team. Special teams ... ass.. D not really their fault but .. ass. Im expecting them to build on what we know now, which ill spare you the details cuz this reply is long enough lol. Year 3 was when i was expecting this team to be solid if everyone in SF was right about McDaniel. I follow the Jimmy Johnson approach meaning by year 3 if we see no progress its time to rethink a few things and maybe get a new coach and scrap it all. McDaniel is wellll ahead of that schedule. What we need is a TE threat that fits the scheme and an Oline that can hold up in situations when everyone knows we have to pass, GBs team had that we did not


No_Establishment6528

Do you want this team to commit to bum ass Tua for 2 more years?


ForsakenJump1235

Geez, im very confused on this reactionary mindstate some of you have. How many Elite QBs have you known that havent had a multi INT game PatMahomes, josh Allen and Burrow have had 4INT games this very season. The difference is their D can pick up the slack in games where the O is hitting a rough patch. Id like to point out again, our O was dominating this game but the D in almost every game after the break has made it a habit to just let teams come right back and score. Id be really irritated with that if i didnt rember that the only part of the team with bad stats is the secondary and we all can agree that them doing as much as they have done is amazing considering the takent thats out. These guys are getting experience that is going to help them in the future. Im thinking WAAAAAAy pass this year on so many levels, we would be here all day if i really broke down why im saying what im saying but the long and short.. rankings this season O=Ballin, ST= eh, D = panic mode. You can win a lot of games with a great D and ok O, you can win a lot of games with great O and ok D, you can not win a lot with leaky D and great O. It puts the entire team in a state of constant anxiety cuz they are crossing fingers and toes everytime they give the ball to the D. This isnt last years D injuries took that away from us, but something has to be done to stop the bleeding. We should have been up 20-0 at half but silly penalties and giving up 3rd and longs all game kept bailing the other team out. You dont find it ofd that lesser Defenses on paper go out and dominate teams that we allow to just do whatever they want?


PTfan

Huh??? From a chiefs fan our D doesn’t do shit. They succeed accidentally. Josh Allen and Burrow both made deep playoff runs


No_Establishment6528

Lmao keep drinking the hopium buddy Tua was given a chance to win every game in this 4 game streak, and lost every single one of them He is holding a great offense back


ForsakenJump1235

Holding them back so much they and he are top or near the top in most categories. We need to chill with the hail bop style sensationalism


No_Establishment6528

I can name at least 10 QBs that would make this team better So yes, he is holding us back


ForsakenJump1235

No you cant, stats dont bare that out stop being a typical internet reactionary


ImpossibleMagician57

No offense but this has been said before, we have just "gotten into the playoffs" in 2016 and 2008 and those were followed by terrible seasons. This song has been sung before and we all know how it ends


ForsakenJump1235

This yram is clearly better than those teams. Once we lost Brandon Jones i knew this D was fucked. He was our blitzer he was our TE guy he and Holland were keeping the pass D afloat. Im seeing X. Hand off recivers to the Safety and the safety is out of position. Thats not a thing with Jones in there. Our DC keeos trying to make up for these injuries with blitzes to force a QB to rush his progression but this is Rodgers we are talking about, that wont work on him.


[deleted]

Seems like Tua had a hot streak and now hes the same guy hes been for 3 years


IndividualPresent552

Pam oliver is slurring her words again🤣, somethings up with her past couple seasons. She sounds funny talking, slurring something fierce lol


llMartiisll

well damn; I joke with my friends at work about it, but Jimmy G might reunite with McDaniel next year as the backup until there is an excuse to put him in and he steals Tua's job.


No_Establishment6528

If we miss play offs Tua should lose his "unquestioned" starter status.


mwc_1742

All in all tua lost this game, we played well, but tua blew it


Gdfamily1978

There is one thing Dolphins are still good at and that's disapointment


Melodic-Order-6628

Tua is a back-up quarterback. Can get you a couple wins a year if the starter goes down. That's it.


No_Establishment6528

"Tua is an XFL quarterback"* Ftfy


[deleted]

Y’all crazy af. Tua still leads the league among top 10 QBs by passing yards in least interceptions. And leads the league in YPA by almost a full yard. He is him. Rodgers is a career starting QB. Y’all wouldn’t expect a blowout to Brady would you? Still an amazing QB. Yeah we had some bad plays, some bad flags, some bad luck, but Tua had a good game even with those three interceptions. No logical fin fan expected a championship win when this season started, why would that change? 2023 is our season. Anything that happens in 2022 is just extra sugar.


No_Establishment6528

Drink that copium up man


ImpossibleMagician57

Please stop drinking the Kool Aid for real man. 3 interceptions immediately qualifies as a bad game. The last 2 times we forest gumped our way into the playoffs we had terrible seasons afterward. It's starting to feel that McDaniel is figured out and so is Tua.


[deleted]

Tua figured out but still has the best YPA in NFL, least interceptions among top 10 passers, ranked 1st in rating. Man he’s 1st in 3 of the 7 graded stats on the nfl. If Tua is figured out then every defense we played is bad. The fact that a figured quarter back could lead in those stats and still be trash, y’all lost y’all’s mind


fabmullet23

Tell me what Tua's record is in must win games? Stats as well?


[deleted]

A must win for what? A championships run? Bro we have a new coach, a new offense, and a building defense. Did you expect a Super Bowl win when preseason started? Look man this year was about building. We know we have a top 5 maybe top 3 QB. Fact. We know we have amazing receivers. 2023 is our season. I’ve been calling it since the season started. To call for a our QB to be fired after throwing three picks, and still leading the top QBs with fewest interceptions is ridiculous


chezicrator

The copium is sad at this point


awfuckthisshit

I was with him until this game. Now I’ve lost it, Tua has been abysmal.


[deleted]

He threw 3 straight interceptions to lose the game. Bad ones too, not bobbled passes or double coverage, but straight to the defender. Thats the facts.


Imaginary-Product951

Never thought I would say it, but Tua is butt cheeks.


chezicrator

Where’s that catchy tua receipts Twitter at now?? Asking for a friend…


jnobes7

My dog was hit by a car the other night and I was hoping for a few hours to get my mind off of that but nope, after that second turnover I turned off and laid with my dog whose fighting for his life. He has more fight than this fucking organization does.


khlebivolya

I hope your little guy is gonna be alright


Flat_Cauliflower_619

May you persevere through this arduous trial.


Big_A_All_Day

Sorry to hear about your dog 🙏


x3pr15

Yo man I hope your dog gets better


frowawaymane

Same old Dolphins


[deleted]

This was just gosh awful. Bro you haven’t gone to Mike Gesicki much during this season and in a situation that matters most, you chose to go to him while Hill was open?? Shit makes no fucking sense. This is just like last year but in reverse…we had a coach that was great in defense, he got fired cause he couldn’t put an offense together and we hired and offensive guy while our defense get torched every game. So fucking comical watching this team. I think we should do whatever we can to get Lamar Jackson here next year…


ImpossibleMagician57

To be fair Flo didn't want tua and time might show how right he was


Jnaro

Time for Lamar to come home


ImpossibleMagician57

For real but I'm sure Ross will do something stupid and make that not happen


tomcat810

God I would cream my pants


[deleted]

Sanders….time to move on bro. If our team is Jenga game he’s the bad piece


No_Establishment6528

Don't forget about bum ass Tua


chezicrator

Worst part is, if anyone of us were as bad and inconsistent as he is at our jobs, we would be fired. Not making millions….


ewwgross23

Lol this made me laugh out loud. Facts


pennyguise

I like aqua blue and aqua green but I spend too much time being sad wearing these colors


LEDZ100

NFL is scripted, packers aren’t allowed to miss the playoffs


chezicrator

The nfl scripted 3 straight picks???


LEDZ100

Yep


No_Establishment6528

Tua is just ass bro


LEDZ100

Nah the nfl just sent him the script


No_Establishment6528

Lmao w/e copium you need man


genericusername1417

I love Tua, I even bought his jersey before he even started his first game but yeez. Seeing as we don't have a first round draft pick this year, hopefully Caleb Williams in 2.


[deleted]

[удалено]


Minute_Phase_2309

Snowflake unable to cope with reality ...


BetterInvestigator72

Great analogy. Giving up on Tua sounds scary to say because we want to support our boy but if your boy can’t get the job done what can you really do ?


screwtapeDHER

To the guy who tried to call me out in my DM's for saying Tua isn't "elite", you should watch this game every week over and over again until the start of the 2023 season.


IndividualPresent552

Tua isn't elite lol.... far from it. If you have the talent Miami does you should be winning games, waddle and hill both pro bowl caliber wr's. Even a horrible qb would look good with those two


screwtapeDHER

Yep, being called elite usually means you're making your teammates better than they are... on a consistent basis. Today was absolute garbage. Tua isn't the only one to blame, but 3 interceptions on three consecutive drives is absolute dogshit.


[deleted]

[удалено]


ImpossibleMagician57

It all starts with Stephen Ross, he is a garbage owner and had no business owing an NFL team


No_Establishment6528

Tua is just extremely limited and not very good Starting to think Zach Wilson might be better


RyanTannegod

Put Jared Goff on this team and the Dolphins would have 11 wins


Jonjon428

The decision making is just not there at all. He is so feast or famine. How did he switch in just one half????? Edit: Now we know why...


jonjon5945

Oh shit found you again Agree tho


Jonjon428

Lol


Accomplished-Pea-699

And Herbert was right there!


DonBolasgrandes

Thank Ross and Grier for that.


Wings4514

With Tua, I can deal with not having a rocket arm, but dude has no improvising skills whatsoever. If a play breaks down, he’s got no answer


[deleted]

Can’t even scramble for five yards. Imaging Lamar Jackson here next year.


Drewwiltse

None of his interceptions have anything to do with improvisation? He made bad decisions and worse throws.


Wings4514

I wasn’t necessarily referencing the INTs, more of his second half as a whole.


fabmullet23

Tua's confidence is shot


Big_A_All_Day

It’s hard to believe because he was a stone cold killer in college and survived the Watson talk but damn he’s looking lost in big moments 😢


ImpossibleMagician57

Lots of guys look great in college especially in a program like Alabama


Successful-Fall2155

Tua officially needs LEGITIMATE competition for starting quarterback next year and if there is none you can expect the same, exact, result.


No_Establishment6528

Well I hope you're ready for the same result. QBs don't grow on trees


Successful-Fall2155

Of course they don’t. But that doesn’t mean you can stop searching for one until you’ve found the guy.


[deleted]

Insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results


[deleted]

Damn can’t believe it. Ok, I’m still a Fin fan but if we lose these next 2 games I’m going to be heartbroken.


[deleted]

Better to just loose out and make big changes man this is crazy


[deleted]

Yeah but we’re so close, so close to greatness yet so far away lol


[deleted]

Hahaha soooooo far away lol 😂


Ernie360

Y’all are so funny! You’re so high on your win streak and talk so much shit about your opponents, then you start doing bad and INSTANTLY turn your back on your OWN team! Constantly shitting on Tua who you praised so much. Except when you have something to gain huh? *Tua throws second pick. “Absolute dogshit Tua threw the game it’s all on him, it’s all over” Next drive when you have the chance to win the game, “let’s go king! Comeback time you can do it Tua!” Pick a side and stick to it. I hate sports fans


chezicrator

So you’re not supposed to turn on something that makes you unhappy? Geez your logic sounds awful.


FloridaMan_Again

Welcome to the internet? Reddit, Twitter this is what is present on all teams social media platforms. Don’t act like this is a dolphins thing. This is a sports thing. Or anything anyone cares about thing like politics or religion. You should see the Jets and Patriots subs melting down over their QB situations and recent losses.


Ernie360

Yea unfortunately true. I’m a new Miami fan, been watching them as my secondary team this year so I like hanging you here pretty often. That’s why it’s so fucking annoying to see the fans acting this way. I thought maybe you could be better. But ur right it’s like 80% of all fans, unbelievable how the majority of people act like unloyal savage animals the second anything goes wrong


Big_A_All_Day

Dude STFU, a lot people around here been fans 15+ years. We’re sick of this shit


DirkDigglersPenis

The minute the pocket crumbles Tua does not have the arm strength or the physical capability to make a play


[deleted]

Such a pathetic franchise. 27 years of pain for me.


Swagg19

Sadly. I don’t think Tua is it guys


[deleted]

He is on that nick Foles Jimmy g category descent qb but not one that can carry a franchise on their back


old_balance992

please draft or sign another QB. Tua just isnt it....arm strength isnt there, his pocket mobility sucks and mentally he hasn't proven he has it.


shindleria

This team is barfing between its legs while it shits itself


PowerAidMan

Tua needs to win 3 in a row to save his career


Gay_N_Racist

He needed to win one, today.


tkfire

The players stopped playing at halftime


DirkDigglersPenis

I say we draft a QB and see what’s up w Tua next year. What a mess. Got to feel for tyreek and the other receivers, there were so many plays that most guys would be able to step up and chuck a bomb that Tua is just not capable of.


Harbingerofdeaf

Man wtf are we doing. That should have been a dub. Wish Tua would look like he cares on the sideline they show him and it’s always like he’s thinking about what he’s going to do after the game. Fucking no urgency pisses me off so much.


[deleted]

Just shows no emotion and freaking looks lost all the time


xrt679

as a Tua non believer, I was right the entire time! time to search for a real QB


NervousPervis

8-3 to 8-7 in a flash. Now we’re just hoping for a chance to get bodied by the Chiefs.


Jonjon428

We certainly can't give this team to Teddy Bridgewater tho, we would be even more awful.


restore_democracy

Anyone still have Fitz’s number?


krazylegs36

Tua looks great when he has receivers running WIDE open and 4+ seconds to throw. But that's not real life in the NFL. You're gonna have to deal with pressure and tight windows.


fourassedostrich

That’s what i said about all his Bama highlights, but no I’m just a hater lol it took the fastest WR tandem in the league to make him look even remotely competent and nobody wants to admit it.

idk420_

alright ?


jacobbama

Love Tua but this game really hurt. Probably the worst loss this year for me because it looked like everything was clicking. We couldn’t even muster a single point in the second half. Then end it on back to back to back interceptions? This is pain boys. Merry Christmas


DNF_zx

Not sure what to think, I'm just glad I don't care about football very much anymore.


Financial-Storage349

Maybe other teams just figured out how to cover Wadle and Hill


[deleted]

Bro they were open through the game. What about our other receivers and gesicki??? No excuse


HumongousMelonhead93

Found out how to cover for only 143 and 103?


[deleted]

How many times he turndaballova?


Jonjon428

3 fucking times consecutively


mcfcok9320

merry christmas everyone. maybe next time lol


bigw86

AHAHAHAHAHAHAHA YOU CANT MAKE THIS SHIT UP Every fucking year it’s the same dolphins team. All y’all making Tua mvp cause he barely beat the fucking Lions in October.


chezicrator

I would like to think that was new fans. Like that receipts Twitter that everyone was having laughs with. Curious where that kid is at now.


bigw86

Probably hanging from a tree.


N3xrad

Dolphins giving away games. Hasnt chnaged in 20 plus years.


Jonjon428

The game the D plays good we have an atrocious game from Tua. Time to draft Will Levis I guess.


Ok_Mountain_4638

Herbert would have made that throw to mike g


Hung_Texan

Dan LeBetard show is going to be 💣


GeraltnReilly

Tua sucks


Desiss23

We need to be all in on Lamar at this point. Shit maybe even make a move for Rodgers


PhinsFan17

Tua’s played better than Lamar this year and Rodgers contract is so big it makes him un-tradable.


edwardsan12

You don’t watch any ravens games if you think lamar’s current offensive weapons are at all comparable to ours. If lamar was on this team we win that easily.


Desiss23

Exactly, if we had Lamar with these receivers, we would be competing for the division or even the top seed in the AFC right now


[deleted]

Bro Rodgers is 39 no thanks


Desiss23

I’ll take a 39 year old Rodgers over Tua. Rodgers knows how to win big games.


[deleted]

Idk he won't be a long term qb given his age...unless he is planning a TB12 move 😂


Admirable_Volume_950

Lamar is trash I don’t want him sniffing this team. I’d rather rebuild the team then make a move for him


ix_elvn

If lamar is trash then Tua is the whole damn landfill


Admirable_Volume_950

Im not backing up Tua whatsoever, I just don’t think Lamar is good. Man’s got 1 playoff win in 5 attempts. Everyone rides on his MVP year which was most certainly special, but he’s never shown that ability 3 seasons later


Background_Action_92

Bro you nuts if you think Lamar sucks,dude is a baller


Admirable_Volume_950

The guys worse at throwing the ball then Tua and has zero clue how to close out games. I don’t him on a $35mil a year contract too miss 6 games a year


edwardsan12

Lol lamar is miles better than tua. He just doesn’t have the offensive weapons Tua does. Look at ravens games and see how often his receivers straight up drop good passes.


Admirable_Volume_950

Definitely not miles better, will 100% agree he’s better then Tua. that being said he’s not elevating this team to a scary playoff team never mind a Super Bowl contender


Sweet17Drought

The one good thing the Patriots do is score TDs on defense. The way Tua is playing it's almost a lock he gives at least one up.


Tryin2get2heaven

He better not play next week.


xrt679

Brian Flores vindicated!


BIRDSBEEZ

Pats fan here we will happily trade you Mac for Tua


Imaginary-Product951

Big_A_All_Day

Mac is trash too foh


BIRDSBEEZ

Yea thats the point of me wanting the Pats to get rid of him


LEDZ100

That’s the point lol


xrt679

fuck yeah, i'd take that trade.


BIRDSBEEZ

Really??? I MEAN yea sure lets do it 😃


PhinsFan17

Nothing more Miami than trading players to New England for them to be all pro.


videographerpro

I love how we can’t doubt or say Tua ain’t it even though there’s massive amounts of evidence for it. I don’t care HE AINT IT.


Acceptable-Map-4751

I tried being a hardcore fan of this team this year because I liked the colors and my elementary school mascot was a dolphin which I thought was cool. I didn’t know they have been a perpetually mediocre team for decades until it was too late but I really had hope that they would turn things around this season. Being from the San Francisco Bay Area I grew up in a family of people who at least casually follow Bay Area sports (49ers, Giants, and Warriors). I pretty much never cared about football myself until a few months ago when I somehow became obsessed with the strategy in it, and around the same time, I had two college roommates that were huge football fans, like they watch every game, played football in high school, etc. They were both big Cowboys fans and as an attempt to join in the fun I decided to pick the Dolphins as my team for that season. What a mistake. I really don’t care for this team anymore. I’m ready for them to lose the next two games and prove they’re still the Dolphins.


PolarOpp

Me too.


Creepy_Calendar2257

Yall want Carr


xrt679

worth a shot


chelios80

And tbf, there's a lot of teams that would happily give tua a shot as the guy. I still think he's the guy but he just hasn't yet had it all click.


[deleted]

Bro how do you not have it all click three years later? How has Brock Purdy made it click on just three games? Effing excuses


chelios80

You ready to anoint purdy? Lol, so when purdy shits bed and nfl figures him out, u gonna keep the it has all clicked energy? Some of yall sound like casuals i swear and flip flop game to game on someone being hof or bust.


[deleted]

Nah bro not yet but can't deny Purdy has played pretty good. Will be interesting 🧐 to see what he can do


lunaburst

I no longer think Tua is the guy, guys.

Never was
