Would like to see a touchdown here, at least make this a game for the final few minutes. (would also be entertaining to see the Jets blow the game as well)

I really thought the Dolphins were better than this.

Lets see:

1) WR suck ass
2) Offensive line is comical (think Denver Broncos comical)
3) No pass rush
4) Terrible coaching.
5) Did I mention how horrible the WR are?

I truly feel sorry for Tannehill. Maybe he sucks, but I don't know how you are supposed to figure that out with this train wreck. He looks ok to me. The rest of the team looks terrible. I thought they'd finish second in the East this year, but they are nowhere near the Jets or Bills.

Yeah Tannehill is tough to figure out. I just wish they would show his wife when he plays.

Philbin should be fired. The only question I have is, who is going to take over? Neither coordinator seems to have a clue.

The Bills are just getting fucked by the refs, have to think Rex's reputation is counting against them here.

Also O'Brien goes for a 53 yard field goal down 28-0 on fourth and 8 and misses. Sure those 3 points were going to be huge for you there.

Who's doing the color for the Philly/Washington game? He's really annoying.

This Bills Giants game has to be confusing for the players. Not saying each team has the exactly the same jerseys, but they're kinda close. Gotta remember what color you're throwing too.

Nice goal line stand by the Giants.

Seems Alex Smith is starting to become a liability for the Chiefs. I can understand not wanting to turn the ball over, but sometimes, you simply have to take a chance.

Had great seats in the rain-drenched Tampa stadium for the Bucs weekly ass-whupping. The Bucs have now lost 11 straight games at home.

Denver with yet another uneven performance with a late W.

Have I mentioned the defense? Again, simply dominant. The Vikings had 2 TD drives. . . 2 plays 27 yards and then a 97 yard drive where 50 yards came on an AP run on 4th and 1.

They end up with 7 sacks and could easily have had 3 or 4 more. I was very impressed with Bridgewater. The kid was under duress all night and did not have a running game to lean on. He played very well.

Manning was uneven and his two turnovers made the game closer than it should have been. @Raiders and @Browns the next two games. With an offense this poor, there is no "safe" game. This team could lose both of those games. That said. . . Carr better work really hard on his hot reads this week. There is no way he's going to have time against this defense.

Brandon Weeden has the worst pocket presence I've seen in a long time. I wonder if that is a result of his unorthodox way into the league, but it's just awful. He runs out of the pocket into defenders.

As I Broncos fan, I'd be the first to say this team is very disappointing to watch after years of sheer dominance.

But, they have something that we have not had in Denver since the Tebow Year....the heart to win, and the need to have that heart. In the past they've got to the playoffs by dominating almost every team in our path, then they face top opponents and crumble at any hardships. But now, they have the drive to win. The late comebacks and final defensive stops. Obviously, this is not the record-setting Broncos team we know and love. But I think it could be the team that goes the furthest come January.

The new extra points are screwing with their heads. Maybe the NFL should put up netting and have teams return missed field goals that bounce off of the nets. And then, instead of a coin toss, they could have two players race to midfield and scramble for the ball. We need to get the LFL involved, as well.

Philbin fired going into the bye week. Dan Campbell, the TE coach, favored to become the interim coach.

I had the Dolphins as strong contenders for the AFC East this season. I suck at knowing how football teams will do.

Sad to see one of the marquee franchises doing so poorly. The NFL seems more right when the Dolphins are doing well.

Not sure I see any scenario where Harbaugh goes back to the NFL after only a year at Michigan*.

He had to go. Not for the results aspecifically, but the complete and abject lack of fight, drive or motivation on the team. The playcalling was horrible on Sunday: short/incomplete pass followed by stuffed run followed by failed 3rd down pass - almost every time in the 1st half you could predict the style of play.

The defense is terrible: We've got one corner worth his salt, one safety and maybe one linebacker, and a front four that is drastically underperforming.

Can't stop the run, or the pass, and give away too many penalties. Awful, and there was really no option.

/checks standings

/sees the Broncos are 4-0

Man... as a lifelong Lions' fan I have absolutely NO concept of how anyone could be "very disappointed" with a 4-0 a team. I know not what this means...

You're preaching to the crowd. I wanted Philbin fired at the end of last season.

Dan Campbell is saying the right things in the press conference.

I will say this: Of all the Denver teams over the past 4 years, this one seems best equipped to deal with the seemingly inevitable "Manning swoon" come January. They just need him to make safe throws and complete 2-3 TD drives a game to win most weeks.

Heard a fun stat that Philbin is the fourth coach to be fired after four games. The other 3 were Raiders coaches

Dan is a great dude and a real fiery and emotional one that should be able to push buttons to get the team to play with more heart. I am pulling for him hard here. Fellow Aggie or not, I just dont think Tannehill is franchise QB material.

But he completes 70% of his passes! I'm still waiting to see on him. Want to see him play under a different OC to see if the constant checkdowns and short passes are all on the OC or just part of them. The stuff he was allegedly saying to the practice squad guys does look really bad for any starting QB.

Pretty hilarious if that Tannehill report from today is true, that he gets all pouty when the practice squad players pick him off and Philbin asked them to go easy on him. Smells a little like BS but I want it to be true.

Yeah sounds like an exaggeration from a one time annoyance or something. I find it hard to believe he could be that delicate and not hear other stories as well.
