Is Miami Dolphins Mike McDaniel Saving His Job?!

The Miami Dolphins backto back victories sitting at five and seven. Is or has Mike McDaniel started to save his job? [Music] What is up Finn fans? Hope you guys are having a fantastic Victory Monday. Got some things I want to talk about today and early this morning. Like I said in the intro, we got backto-back victories. I’m going to talk about them, talk about the sloppiness, where things need to get better, yada yada, and obviously talk about uh did Mike McDaniel or not did, but is he starting to save his job? Now, I want to preference something, right? Because I like talking to people who have a difference of opinion than me.

Miami Dolphins, what’s going on? What’s going on with them? what’s going on with the team. Real quick, go into some pressers from yesterday that I thought was interesting. Mika Fitzpatrick said the Dolphins uh DB room has a fine system and Rula Douglas is definitely getting fined for not scoring a touchdown after his pick. He said, “I dabbed him up and told him uh it was a great play, but he’s getting fired, which Mika can say because he had the uh pick two as you can call it on the two-point conversion. He ran what 100 yards 98 yards for that touchdown. Uh Mike McDaniel talking about Tua Tongo Veloa which I will get into a little bit. He said I wouldn’t say Tua played his best game. Uh I like the pick. He could have I like the pick. He could have thrown it to uh Darren Waller. Uh oh. I wouldn’t say Tua played his best game like the pick. So essentially, you know, he didn’t play his best game like that interception. Uh he could have thrown it uh to Darren Waller, but Devon had a touchdown catch, he dropped and Julian had a drop. We’ll look at this film tomorrow. Uh I did feel like uh in the pass game, the by-week impact theme, uh we hoped to find things we need to improve on to win. Uh essentially him assessing Tua. Um I disagree with the Devon Aan and the Julian Hill drops. Um, and we’ll break that down and I talked about it in the live stream yesterday. Um, where Julian Hill is literally, so if I’m the quarterback, Julian Hill is literally running across the field and if he’s running across the field and I’m throwing it to his back, he has to like completely stop go. And Julian Hill isn’t Tyreek Hill, Jaylen Wadd. Name any fast athletic receivers. Julian Hill is a big tight end. He’s a blocking tight end. So you are now asking this big you know not you know known for his catching tight end to reach back behind back and down behind him to catch the ball. Uh Devon Han uh the throw was off and again we’ll look at the film tomorrow. The throw is off and I think if he does catch it, it still throws his momentum off to go forward. He did have two blockers in front of him. Would have been an easy touchdown if he got the ball to him. But there is that. Um stats real quick. Devon Achan. Speaking of that man, who in my opinion definitely deserves a contract extension. He is now, after yesterday’s game, he has 1,034 rushing yards. He is now third in the NFL in rushing yards. He’s also tied for first in the NFL in 20 plus runs with 10 of them. He has six touchdowns, which I think puts him around fifthish. Uh rushing first downs, he has 46. Um he only has one fumble. Definitely needs to work on that. And as long as 59 yards. Um let’s look at defense. Now passing I will talk about Tua. Uh let’s look at receiving. I want to see where Jaylen Wadd is when it comes to receiving. I think he broke a thousand already if I am correct. No, he’s at 762 and he is down there. Your top three three receivers are uh Jackson Smith and Jigba, George Pickkins, and Puka Noula are your top three receivers. All have over 1,000 yards. And Jaylen Wadd’s at 762. 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16. He’s 17th. At one point he was top 10 in receiving yards. Now he’s 17th. Big drop off there. Um, I want to see sacks because Bradley Chub got himself one. I know. Uh, Chop got a sack and a half. You your leading tackler in the NFL is Jordan Brooks with 137. The next guy uh is Cedric Gray with 118. So, he’s well and and above anybody when it comes to tackles. A man is a tackling machine. Your leading sacker is Miles Garrett at 19. And Bradley Chub is sitting at six. So he is what? One 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12. He’s tied for 13th in the NFL in sacks. Not great. your top three sack leaders is Miles Garrett, Brian Burns, and Micah Parsons. I don’t think that’s a surprise to anybody. Um, but Devon Han is doing fantastic things. Absolutely fantastic things. Austin Jackson played yesterday. We didn’t really hear much uh from that right side. I think a lot of the runs uh came from that right side. A lot of the big runs. I’ll pull that up. Um, but the biggest thing that I want to talk about is the fact of, you know, we got two wins and they were sloppy. And one of the reason, and I’m going to say, and I was very critical of Mike McDaniel yesterday. Let me be honest with you. Again, I like to talk to people who have a difference of opinion. Very critical. Some of his plays, calls were very upsetting to me. You know, first and 10 from their 11. He throws the ball three times. And again, if this is a game where Tua is struggling, and let’s be honest with ourselves, he was struggling. Why are you going to put that like why you put that ball in his hand, right? Because he misses Darren Waller for the touchdown. And that shouldn’t be a surprise to you when he was missing guys all day, right? So again, why are you throwing it three times? I get, you know, running it two times and then throwing it on third down. fine. That makes tons of sense. But you throw it three straight times. And there was a few times where he, you know, we went three and out because he decided, oh, we had a a run for a one yard loss. I’m going to have to throw it for the next two downs. Stick with it, man. Your your your running back is gaining six yards a carry. You got to stick with it. Um, and then, you know, there was the 12 men on the field. There was, you know, sometimes the tight timeout calls were driving me nuts. But when I took a step back and I looked at the game yesterday and I thought to myself, you know, obviously to me the reason that the offense was struggling to get in the end zone and the reason we were kicking field goal, kick a field goal, kicking field goal was because of Tua, right? Like let’s call a spade to spade. If you’re a Tuanir or Tua fan or whatever people want to call you nowadays, you can honestly unbiasedly take a step back, look at that game yesterday and say that was a horrible game from Tua and he was the culprit of why the offense couldn’t move. It’s plain and simple. Like he made some nice throws here and there where you’re like, there it is. But for a majority of his passes, he was sailing balls. He was throwing behind receivers. He was very inaccurate. and he looked shell shocked in the uh the pocket because Cameron Jordan got to him what two times, two, three times, I think two times. Um but he should have felt better because he had Austin Jackson in there at right tackle who is a better blocker than Larry Boram. So, you know, you could objectively look and say, you know, this is why the offense was struggling. So, you know, if Tua would have played better, I think the Dolphins ran away with it. I think that the game wouldn’t have been as close, wouldn’t have been as sloppy and wouldn’t have gave some fans aida that oh my god, we’re going to lose this game. Thankfully, Ma Fitzpatrick had a, you know, a pick two and then, you know, we got the ball stopping them on fourth down even though the refs wanted to say it touched Cameron Good’s leg. I bet different. Um, so looking at Mike McDaniel, again, this is kind of the premise of of the video, and I will talk more about Tua and uh, Mike McDaniel has um, Albert Beer came out with a story talking about how Mike McDaniel seemed to have turned this around. Um, does this save his job? Now, I don’t think these two wins against Washington and against the Saints, I don’t think Steven Ross is going to sit back and go, he’s coming back, deal, sign the paper. you know, this has sealed his job uh security and we’re gonna have to find a uh general manager that’s willing to work with Mike McDaniel, yada yada blah blah blah. I don’t think so. But I think this game more than wa the Washington game definitely put it in his favor because the calls were there. I think they ran the ball more than they did pass, which again he stuck with. I was very happy with that. Uh 23 passes to 32 rushes. You take four rushes off cuz that’s uh to a scrambling. So 23 passes to 28 rushes. That’s what it should be, right? So I’m not upset with that. And you know, again, you take a step back, you take the the moment away, you have conversations with people, you talk with people of opposite opinions, and you could see how if Tua played better, especially, you know, with the miss to Darren Waller, with the miss to um Devon Achan, with some of these other bad throws, it could have been a game where we just ran away with it. You know, by halftime, instead of being up 16 to nothing, could have very easily been 24 to nothing. And then all of a sudden the Saints really, you know, try to do more and, you know, we force more turnovers, whatever. So, you know, do I think it saved his job? No. But I do think if he puts if the team wins games like this where everyone else is playing better, but two is struggling, I think it helps him to kind of make him point the finger at if you get me a quarterback. Even though, and again, I’m playing devil’s advocate on both sides of the spectrum here. The reason he got this head coaching job is because he said he could fix Tua, right? If he was not willing to work with Tua and if he was not willing to say, “Oh, I could see the good in him and I think he could be really good,” he would not have gotten the head coaching job with the Dolphins. He probably would have went back to San Francisco and then would have got hired in the next following year, 2023’s coaching carousel. But he did say that and let’s give him credit. Again, I am I will be critical of people players on this team when they deserve it and I will be I will give them praise and credit when they deserve it. He has turned to around, right? And I think to his struggles this year and at the end of last year has nothing to do with Mike McDaniel. And I’m going to make the video about it because I told you guys that I think I said like the next two games and it was the Falcons game and the Ravens game. I needed to see to it to kind of give myself a perspective on what is wrong with him and I was like uh and then I was going to do it over the buy, but I was like let me wait a little bit longer. watching the Bills game with his arm punts, watching Washington’s game, and now watching this game, I kind of can piece it together what’s wrong with him. So, that might be Thursday’s video where I kind of look at the film from 2023, his best year, and look at the film this year, and kind of show you guys this is when he’s good. This is what he’s doing now. and show you the difference in his body language, in his throw velocity and his, you know, throw per projections and all that stuff. So, that’s some something coming up cuz right now Tua is currently 23rd in the NFL in passer rating, 18th in yards per attempt, and 16th in touchdowns, and he’s first in the NFL in interceptions. It’s not good. I’ll tell you where he is in passing yards because it’s not good either. He’s having a bad year. It’s a very bad year. And if you are one of those people who like want to trade him, him him playing the way he’s playing is is it making it hard to trade. He Yeah, he is 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19. He’s 20th in passing yards. 22 2280. And with that projection, he might barely break 3,000 yards by the end of the year, which is horrible. Last time he played a full year, he led the NFL in passing yards with 4,624, 69.3 completion percentage, 29 interceptions, 101.1 passer rating. 2023. So, I’m going to compare that to this year, and we’ll talk about that on Thursday. But back to Mike McDaniel and what happened. So Albert Brer came out with this article about six hours ago for me. It’s yesterday for you. Uh the Halloween meeting that changed the Dolphins season. He said nobody need uh nobody needed to tell the Dolphins players uh where they stood on Halloween morning. They just uh they just got blown out after hanging around in the first half against the Ravens in a home Thursday night game. Their general manager of the last decade, Chris Greer, has been let go. They were two and seven. So, the idea of making the playoffs was laughable. All of which put everybody everyone in the building from the head coach to the quarterback on notice. And with the trade deadline looming, the team uh wouldn’t want uh wouldn’t wait to make changes. So, the leader of the locker room gathered their peers and delivered a tough love ultimatum to spark some level of change. The deadline was Tuesday with a home date against a five-time reigning AFC champion, the Bills. 5 days later, we really emphasized whoever ends up staying on this team or coming to this team come Wednesday, we’re all going to have each other’s backs, we’re all going to lean in on one another. That’s what M Fitzpatrick said Sunday. Actually, one of the five points that uh we as leaders of the team came together and wanted to communicate was that we still have a lot of football left. We have a lot of talent on this team. We trust our coaches and we just had to continue to lean on each other and I feel like we’ve done a really good job of that. We just got closer and started executing at a higher level. And I’ve noticed that with the defense. The defense again is not been the problem for the past three games. You know, they they shut down Buffalo. They held Washington to what 20 points give or take and they were doing their job against um the Saints. all the the Washington and Saints game. If the offense was able to do anything and score more points than field goals, the defense would have been able to pin their ears back and get after them more. Miami hasn’t lost since. The Dolphins rooted the Bills 30-13. They outlasted the Cincinnati uh the Commanders and Madrid 16-13. So again, they held Commanders to 13. And on Sunday, coming off their buy, they came out of the gate like a thorough bread and hung on to hung on to hold off the furious rally from his spunky Saints team. At the middle of all of this is the coach who survived Gre’s dismissal. The uh through September and October, McDaniel was seen uh as many as a dead man walking in Miami. However, with rumbling suggesting the locker room had gone sideways, those in the upper uh the upper reaches of the Dolphins organization held that McDaniel has not lost the players. In fact, uh this was a primary reason why they decided to not let him go and give widely popular uh defensive coordinator Anthony Weaver a run when Greer was fired. The bet the the bet the team made on the Halloween has very clearly paid off this month since. The Dolphins have just uh aren’t just winning. Their victories have been emphatic uh in a way true to McDaniel’s coaching roots. Miami has averaged 177 rushing yards per game during his three-game winning streak with Sunday’s 164, the low benchmark of for that short stretch. Again, he again it’s McDaniel going back to his bread and butter and sticking with the run, which he really should have from the beginning. The defense, meanwhile, has been increasingly optim opportunistic. The unit created three turnovers against Buffalo, against Washington. A Jack Jones pick in overtime essentially won the game, putting Miami in range of a field goal, a game-winning field goal, one that snapped uh in the extra sessions. On Sunday, M Sunday, Miami’s defense showed up again. The Dolphins dominated the first half and carried a 160 lead heading into the break. Then the Saints storm back and down 19 to 17 after a 15yd touchdown from a throw to Tyler Shuck to Valle uh where a two-point conversion uh away from tying the game with 117 left. Fitzpatrick wasn’t going to let that happen. Shuck threw it to underneath Valet again and the veteran undercut his route. We were in man, but he uh we had uh but we had doubled on Chris Ave and then a number two on the field, he said. and I was a one-on-one uh on the three spot and he ran a shallow cross. I was hip to hip on him, slipped in the in the last second and the quarterback threw the ball. So, I just made a play on it. And again, I put this out on Twitter. You look at this secondary, you bring back Jack Jones, you bring back Ros Douglas and Juju Brent comes back healthy, then you have Ma Fitzpatrick. If you uh draft another corner and then see what Dante Trader can do at the other safety spot, are you upset with that secondary? You know, and it’s not going to cost you a lot of money. Like that secondary nice. I like it. You let me know. He did more than just that, catching the ball and running it all the way back for two points to extend the lead to 2117. It seemed like the window addressing at the time, but wound up being uh consequential. The Saints were on to recover an on-site kick and uh and the Dolphins uh got a fourth and one stop to finish off the game. With the ball at their 36yd line, the Saints might have kicked a game-winning field goal if the score line was 19 to 17, not 21 to 17. Whenever you uh make a play on a two-point conversion, you’re uh you’re taught to always try and score because you never know what those two points are going to be worth towards the end of the game. Thankfully, we got the two points and they came in crucial a thousand%. Because we’ve then forced them to go for it on fourth and one like Albert Brer said instead of just winning the game off of a field goal. And again, if Miami lost to the Saints, it’s a very real possibility that that might have been Mike McDaniel’s nail or one of the first nails in his coffin. If you lose to that Saints team, Miami made a lot of critical plays of late. Uh an indication that the coach has the players in the locker room. How did Mike McDaniel keep his players on board? Interesting enough, according to Fitzpatrick, it was letting go of control. He’s done a really good job of listening to everyone that’s around him. Um, he’s the guy that doesn’t really care where good ideas come from. He’s listening to players, to coaches, and he makes tweaks and adjustments. And we’ve gone about the season in our week, uh, in our work week and our preparation. He’s just been really adaptable to what we’ve asked of him. I think he’s done a really good job of that and also just not paying attention to all the nonsense outside of the building. Of course, that nonsense becoming pretty unavoidable over the past couple months. Here’s my thing. Let me let me finish. We got a paragraph left and then I will talk about that. But through the turmoil, McDaniel tried to be honest of his players and challenged them to make uh their team their own. Leaders like Fitzpatrick clearly responding by taking the wheel. He’s enabled us to take changes. is he’s called out specific guys in the leadership meeting and he demanded more from us. He wanted us to communicate to the team the lessons uh that he wants communicated. He also wanted to communi uh he also wanted he also w and also what we wanted to communicate. Um kind of like I said before he’s been so adaptable in listening to us as players and to his coaches. He’s allowed us to take ownership. The Dolphins are now 5-7 and they play the Jets next week. If they win that one, they’ll go into Pittsburgh for Fitzpatrick’s home uh coming with a chance to get 500 on Monday Night Football. And if they go seven and seven, MA says we really um we really been taking it week to week just trying to get some momentum just trying to win one game at a time, not trying to think too far ahead because if we’re if we’re just taking those at one at a time and winning at a time, then at the end of the season, we’re right be we’ll be right where we want to be. Whether that means advancing into the playoffs remains to be seen. Uh what’s clear though is they’re already in a much different place than anyone thought they’d be a month ago. Okay. So, let me address that and let me address the thing that I’m happy about, right? I’m happy hearing this. I’m happy McDaniel is doing this. I’m happy you’re seeing the effects of this um in these past three games. The biggest one being Buffalo. You beat Buffalo handedly, right? you spank their booties. I’m glad to see this. My problem is that it took us to go two and six for it to happen. And my problem is that last year it took us to go two and six for change to happen. I don’t want that to be a thing with Mike McDaniel. I don’t want it to be a thing where his back is against the wall and he has to fight out of it. I want him to be proactive. I want him to get ahead of it. And oh my god, we got blown out 38 to8. Let me make some implications, some changes. Okay, we’re now 0 and3. Now I need to, you know, nip this in the butt big time. That is where my apprehension of bringing McDaniel back is coming from is because it’s not just one year of starting two and six and then this year we kind of got it back under control and we started four and four and then we lost again we shouldn’t have but we’re sitting here at five and seven uh because of this this and that. You know we started four and four we got hot we lost the games we shouldn’t have. We won again like you know what I’m saying? It’s backtoback years of two and six. It’s backto-back years of the same mistakes being made. Two and six last year was because Tua got injured. You could say two and six this year is because of injuries or whatever you want to say. But again, it’s all it’s it’s backtoback years of that. And that is where my apprehension is of bringing him back. And that’s where, you know, I can see where people are saying we should bring him back because he is a great offensive-minded coach, which he is. And if he could do that with Tua, who is regressing, what could he do with a quarterback of his choosing? I did all that. And I understand it 100%. And I’m starting to see where they’re coming from. And it makes me feel a little bit better. See how little that is? A little bit better if that ends up happening where Steven Ross is like, I’m going to give him one more year, which we’ll I’ll cross that bridge when we get there. So that is making me feel a little bit better. But I’m still in the boat of this is his year four and he’s still making mistakes in year four that he made in year one. He’s still making mistakes with the timeouts. He’s still making mistakes with getting the plays in late and he’s making all these mistakes. Now I’m wondering if he has a different quarterback if the play call is different or is the still convoluted. Does he give up play calling? Is he more focused on head coaching duties, which we need him to? Like these are the things that I have big fat question marks on for a coach who’s going into year four. And that is where again, do we want to waste another year? Now, I made a video, I think it was during the buy talking about why they could I could see them keeping him because you get the cap right and you know, worst case scenario, you get a higher draft pick and then 2027 is the year to draft a quarterback as of right now. So, all of those things I take into perspective and, you know, I I’m very reactionary when I watch the games, hence the title of the game being so and so versus the Dolphins live stream reaction. I’m not going to see a play and then sit there and go, give me a second, guys. Let me really ponder on this, absorb it, think about it before I tell you what my thoughts are. No. If I see an interception, I’m going to go, “Damn, Tua, you’re dumb as hell.” If I see a stupid timeout called, I’m going to go, “Why are you doing that, McDaniel? You big idiot. This is your fault.” I’m reactionary, but then I get to talk to you guys and I get to take a step back and I get to think now. Do I still want to move on from Mike McDaniel? As of right now, as of today being December 1st, happy holidays. Yes. Could that change? We’ll see. We’ll see how things happen. We’ll see if the reason why our offense isn’t thriving like it did yesterday was because of Tua or if because of other things because right now Tua is a problem and right now Tua’s health to me is the problem. I’ll talk about that on Thursday because there’s a lot that needs to go into that. Um, but as of right now, if they brought him back, I’d go, “This is this would be my reaction if come Black Monday, uh, when all the coaches get fired, they’re like, “Dolphins are going to bring back Mike McDaniel.” This would be my reaction. All right. Three weeks ago when we got blown out by the Ravens, if you said to me, “They’re bringing Mike McDaniel back,” my reaction would have been very livid. So, it goes from being, “Are you kidding me?” to, “All right, I guess we’ll see how this goes.” See what I’m saying? So, we’ll see. I’m essentially doing what Steven Ross is doing, and I’m giving him the next five weeks. Let’s see how the beves and flows go and let’s see what he does because again, he made mistakes in uh the Saints game. Made some mistakes in the um Washington game. fantastic game against Buffalo. Not a good game against the Ravens. See what I’m saying? So, it’s like I have the right to reserve my opinion. I also have the right to change my opinion, which apparently some people don’t think you’re allowed to change your opinion. Interesting.

  1. Tua is arguably the worst starting quarterback in the NFL right now. There’s no denying how bad he is playing. And, I don’t think he can get better. The injuries are finally catching up to him.

  2. It is worth noting that passing yards are down across the board. More 2-high safety, and 35 yard line touchbacks mean QBs are not going to throw for 300 yards a game. That said, he's 20th in the league this year, so that's just not good enough.

  3. Doug, You ever think it’s easy to judge a coaches motivation from a desk, after you see a play does not work? If the pass plays would have succeeded would you still have criticized Mike for passing 3 times in a row with the run working? It’s easy to criticize after the fact.

  4. I would love to see the Dolphins with McDaniel at HC, with a different starting QB. I don't think he's going to build the kind of culture that you see in other franchises, but he's been pretty good despite being handicapped by a non-mobile QB who can't make all the throws that other QBs can make. Maybe they can buld "culture" through their GM, and maybe some different coordinators and coaches, but I think the new GM is going to let him go.

    Especially if he's big on culture and from which team he comes from. Mike's kept them playing hard, despite being 1-6, which is commendable. But he's still making some questionable play-calling decisions. The team still makes dumb mistakes like 12 men in the huddle yesterday. He had the run game working, and mostly abandoned it in the 2nd half, when Tua was CLEARLY having a bad day. I think that Mike would be a great offensive-coordinator, where all of his focus can be on play design and play calling, but there's a lot an NFL HC has to do, and it seems like he's not able to handle those things while running the offense.

  5. Tua had two throws that should be a TD nine out of ten times, and missed on both. The Waller throw was awful when he had plenty of space and Tua wasn't about to get hit or hurried. And the high throw to Achane was just ridiculously bad. He definitely scores with his quickness and two blockers in front of him. That's 8 more points they wouldn've had, and it's probably not even a close game at the end. He also cost them points when Minkah got the strip sack and they started the drive at the Saints 37. That's at least 3 more points, if he doesn't make that terrible INT into the endzone..

    So just in those three spots, Tua directly cost them at least 11 and possibly 15 more points. There were other drives they should've continued had he been on-target, but just those three plays nearly cost them the game. I said it on X at halftime, that this game felt like the Panthers game. Yeah they had a lead at 13-0, like the 17-0 vs the Panthers. But in BOTH games, you saw the first half and it felt like they should've been up by more. The defense was their savior yesterday, which was the opposite case in the Panthers game. But in both of those games, the offense looked completely differently in the 2nd half compared to the 1st.

    It's incredible tbh, that they won the last two games. A missed FG late and an INT to start OT, and a pick-2 by Minkah when the Saints were trying to tie the game. Two pretty bad teams with a ton of injuries, and they both could've gone either way, they just got a little lucky (missed FG by Commanders) and the defense made plays when they needed them (MInkah's pick-2).

  6. Doug you can also compare Tua's interviews from when he's good and now. Body language, answers to questions, locker room support, etc. I think it would be interesting

  7. He should get 1 more year regardless. As a coach, you can only coach the players the GM has gotten you. Grier ruined this O-Line for YEARS and that's what holds this team back.

  8. @DouglieDoWrong Yea on that 3 pass from the 11 I was getting some definite Varsity Blues vibes coming from McDaniel. Let Achane be the work horse til you get into scoring position and than say fuck him no td's for him and pass the ball 3 times…..

  9. Achane won us the game, tua won his cte award thats all… tua cant throw for shit, did you people see those throws and the interception? Can we also can mcdufis… he pushed on 4th and 1 and failed. Hes cooked all game we cant easily beat the saints…

  10. My opinion is that Tua is regressing and stopping the progression of this team. McDaniel has done good for his situation and is worth keeping.

    The timeouts and stuff is worth firing him so I understand both ways

  11. Mc Daniel is a dork and he needs to get his shit together but Tua is holding this team back, not mobil, cannot run , his accuracy is out the door . Basically Tua is trash

  12. You guys (YouTube content creators) are going down a dark road. Why can't you just enjoy the win? The Broncos (you know the #1 team in the AFC right now?{ just went into overtime against the Commanders. You don't hear and Broncos fans going "omg we suck how can we go into overtime against such a sorry ass team?" Fuck are you kidding me with all the hate? I don't hear anyone saying they should get rid of Bo Nix and Sean Payton. Even after we whipped them 70 points, I heard maybe a murmur of Sean Payton is over the hill. you want to know what was wrong with Tua and what is wrong with him now? Thats easy. He didn't ask for a good OL his first 4 years. What is wrong with him now? He still hasn't asked for an OL and now instead of PER4ORM and 3DQB he has Dave Puloka. The grim reaper of all our woo's and why he is still here and why people aren't flying any aerial billboards saying fire Dave Puloka. The same guy who has been looking over our athletes for the past 9 years. You know the injury riddled rosters that we have had year after year. You know the guy who has been spiking our players kool-aid. No Proof but it would surprise me remember this is the guy who played for Holy Cross and is still thought to be a representative of the New England Patriots.
