Don't forget the Dolphins may have the worst run game in the NFL. Currently 31rst and only lead the Texans by 15 yards

Non-existent run game, Fuller hurt all year, Parker and Williams only played half a season. I think its only fair to give Tua an Incomplete for this year and try to actually surround him with football players before giving up on him

Ya another year for sure! Then maybe another after that! Or maybe they can get Baker after his fifth year option!

Quoted from DanMarino:

Anyone want to get on the Tua-train? I'll pack his bags for him.

It's more like your own personal Tua rollercoaster. Sadly odin, the only other living Dolphins fan, isn't here to keep the discussion going.

#36706 2 years ago

I more or less give Tua a pass for last game. Tough weather for a QB, they got down quickly, he was constantly harassed, and they have no running game. Maybe a mobile QB like Watson could have made something happen but that's a tall order.

On top of that the zero blitz got exposed for what it is -- only effective against terrible offenses -- and frequently resulted in short runs becoming long ones.

#36707 2 years ago

Aaron Rodgers would be 90+ if MVS didn't drop so many catchable balls.

#36708 2 years ago

is this confirmed?

I can't remember anyone this confused about a relationship since Manti Te'o.

Alive and well. Still a Dolphins/Chargers fan.

Don't really care...would be much more excited if they announce a new quality QB on Feb 2nd.

Do we get 7 game winning streak Tua or not playing the Jets Tua?

#36718 2 years ago

I forsee a W, and an F....and possibly a T on the helmet.

EDIT: Seems like you're just setting yourself announcing something on Groundhog Day

#36719 2 years ago

So WFT....
Washington Football Tyrants?
Washington French Ticklers?
Washington Frog Tongues?

I predict it will be lame whatever it is.

You guys are about one tomahawk chop chant away from being the KC BBQs or something equally awesome.

I am so glad my team is not co-owned by Dan Snyder and some woman silly enough to marry Dan Snyder.

#36722 2 years ago

KC BBQs would really cause the fans to step up their tailgating parties.

#36723 2 years ago

It’ll be an easy transition..when/if it happens

It really does kind of annoy me that the Chiefs and Blackhawks are somehow escaping unscathed so far, but I have to wonder how long that lasts.

The Blackhawks have the exact same fuckin' logo as the Redskins!

And the Chiefs - with their moronic tomahawk choppers and fat white guys in headdresses at "arrowhead stadium," are every bit the gross native American minstrel show as the Redskins ever were.

No justice, no BBQ!!!

#36725 2 years ago

Ha ha ha ha!

Without the slang name; kind of a big deal.

Chop is bad. "Arrowhead" seems OK.

#36727 2 years ago
Quoted from TheLaw:

The Cleveland Indians had a "slang name?"

If you've paid any attention at all to the "no native american mascot movement," it's not about the "slang name," it's about the entire concept of co-opting the Native American culture to sell football jerseys. THe leaders of the movement didn't say, "get rid of Redskins and the rest is A-ok with us," they want it all gone.

The Chefs time is coming...won't be long either.

True..what about the braves? How far do we go, cuz it’s not politically correct/offending people? The Blackhawks logo is always referred to being 1 of the best/colourful logos in hockey..doesn’t mean it’s right..

I don't think it's a tough concept - Native Americans don't want their culture trivialized and mocked by being used as a mascot for a bunch of fat drunk white people on Sundays or any other day of the week.

Braves, Blackhawks, Chiefs, etc, it's all gotta go. Apparently FSU - the only organization with any brains of the bunch - has been paying off the Seminoles for years so they got a deal worked out. Good for them. But I digress...

"But what about the Vikings? isn't that offensive?!?!? Or doesn't Notre Dame offend the Irish?!" Well, no, it isn't. Unless there's somebody out there protesting that I hadn't heard about. But if a movement starts to change those names, sure, we can listen at that time.

Yes; 'Indians' according to the times.

I have for 30 years! They changed both my College & Wife's College names long ago. And the Native Amercians actually liked them so...

Oh I agree, I'm not arguing with you; but things take time. They're obviously getting rid of all of them at some point...just taking the more blatent ones first.

Ask Chief Nockahoma!

Oh believe me, I understand why Redskins had to go first.

But just pointing out it won't - nor should it be - the last. Something smug Chiefs fans making jokes should take note of.

#36732 2 years ago

Up here, in the cfl, the Edmonton Eskimos changed their name to….the elks.

Gotta think aboot the exit strategy there. Do they do the BBQ thing and then start making foam spatulas to keep the chop going, or change to a mascot that swings an axe or something similar?

#36734 2 years ago

The best way to avoid embarrassing your namesake is to avoid being one of the shittiest franchises in sports.

KC has buy in from the local tribes, getting the drum blessed before games and banning headdresses. Is that enough? I'm not sure. Not up to me. As long as the people represented by the name are cool with it, I don't see much reason for my pasty ass to be upset.

#36735 2 years ago

WFT should stay the "football team" but have black and white uniforms like the generic products of the 80s.

I think they missed us and went after Gruden instead.... Maybe next year?

Will you be upset when this happens?

I'll be honest, for me it was a pretty long process. If you asked me 20 years ago, I'd tell you, if they changed the name, it would be like I wouldn't have a team any more. The idea was so ridiculous and foreign. You grow pretty attached to "tradition" after a couple decades or so, and get tunnel vision.

Of course after a while it really became clear it wasn't a big deal, it was just a name. And yes, the past 30 years of failure kind of had me hoping for a clean slate.

The REAL tipping point was when I noticed that people most vehemently against changing the name were either Cowboys fans or people whose politics I found personally despicable. When the loudest arguments for NOT changing the name seemed to be coming from the Fox News comments sections, I knew it was time to switch things up.

May the process go smoothly for you. In the end, I think you'll embrace it!

We have been over this before in this thread a while back. Changes come and happen. It is what it is. The good thing is that the crew in charge in KC are taking active steps and being engaged. Its not at all the same as with the crew under Snyder. I am truly thankful for not having to deal with someone like that in charge of the team I grew up with.

Yes, I don't think any team prior or in the future did or will handle it like the shitshow WTF is going through.

We had local college Miami of Ohio change from Redskins to Redhawks a while ago and it was a pretty non-event.

I've been petitioning to change his name for years! MiamiRedSkin I kid

Staying in the MAC Eastern changed in 91...looks like the Chippewas are still hanging on.

But if a bunch of fat, drunk, white folks want to come gamble and drink at their Indian Casino, that's Ok?? Ultimately it all comes down to money and they ain't getting a cut from the NFL.

How about the Washington Grudens? I think Dan Snyder would like it.

#36743 2 years ago

You guys are really making me reconsider my unconditional love and appreciation for Dan Snyder!

Maybe he’s not an awesome human being and the best thing to ever happen to Washington DC football after all!

Oh yeah that place has been a soulless dump since day 1.

Not that it matters to most Washington fans, who haven't attended a game in years. If a bunch of Eagles or Cowboys fans want to get raw sewage dumped on their heads during a game, more power to 'em!

I've seen enough. On to the next QB. Flores will be gone soon if they don't figure out the QB situation. Nick Saban couldn't figure the QB out in Miami, so it's not a new problem.
