Rock Bottom; Dolphins Embarrassed by Cleveland

The Miami Dolphins are officially the “get right game” for NFL teams. In an already abysmal season, the Miami Dolphins got embarrassed in all phases of the game, by the Cleveland Browns.

For Dolphins fans, this is a 25-year story, and even longer when you consider that they couldn’t get Dan Marino a Superbowl. Then came Mike McDaniel and Tyreek Hill, bringing the most fun football to South Florida in a long long time. But even with that, nothing changed. The Dolphins couldn’t win in the cold, couldn’t beat good teams, and ultimately still didn’t win a playoff game.

Now, the Dolphins have hit rock bottom, trapped with a quarterback who can’t hold the weight of his contract, trapped in a soft culture, and trapped in purgatory.

There’s internal drama, external criticism, and zero answers for the Miami Dolphins.

I would normally recap today’s game, but I have no positives, this is more so a message to Stephen Ross, what else will it take for change in Miami?

How many more embarrassments, how many more shortcomings, and how many more what-ifs?

How many more excuses can be made for a team that can’t ever get across the hump.

This season was destined for disaster — a product of poor construction, fragile leadership, and misplaced confidence. Today’s loss was just another reminder: change in Miami isn’t a matter of if, but when.

The Dolphins will be going back to the drawing board soon, and hopefully with a clean house.
