When you lose to the worst team in the league, you become the worst team in the league.

Dolphins’ Demerits: Week V @ Bucs
They play Jacksonville. That provides at least a modicum of hope. Seeing as the Dolphins are Opher London however, I won’t be betting on them. By year three of rebuild, progress should be seen, instead we’re witnessing regression. That should be placed on the shoulders of both the GM and coach. They are the ones that decided the talent they assembled could produce better results than the 10 win team from last year, they have failed. Unfortunately the Phins don’t get a bye week after London as is usually the custom. I fear this means more games with Flores at the helm. If Ross hasn’t moved on from him yet, he probably has until the week 14 bye to salvage his job. What will it take? They have 8 games remaining before the bye, will 4-4 save his job? 6-2? If they enter the bye week above .500 (they would have to go at least 6-2 to accomplish that), maybe you let him finish the season. But baring a playoff appearance, I would sever ties with him and Grier.
Dolphins’ Demerits: Week IV vs Colts
The hope of this year, is quickly converting to “there’s always next year.”
Dolphins’ Demerits: Week III @Raiders
It is difficult to grasp that the Phins’ last two back up QBs have outperformed their “franchise” starter. The Tua Throng needs to quiet down, there is plenty of NFL, not Alabama, game film howling at all who hear that he is not an NFL starting, let alone franchise QB.
Dolphins’ Demerits: Week II vs Bills
This is a difficult Monday. I’m a highly optimistic Phins fan; this was the first year in my life when I didn’t go down the schedule opponent by opponent and think: “they have a real shot at 16-0” and that was because this year I thought “17-0 is a definite possibility.”
