    Are the Dolphins Players and Coaches Purposely Tanking?
    Up 14-3 with 20 seconds left in the half and you call a timeout. Then switch your off coverage to all out blitz with no coverage on 3rd and 20?

    Since that point the team looks entirely different.

    Is this the most blatant tank job of all time?

      Of course. They want the number 1 pick. Gruden was doing this at the beginning of last year then the media called him out so he couldn’t do it every game

        Problem is the bengals are doing the same thing. Let’s see two 0-16 seasons. Historic

            Considering they play each other that's impossible.

                  Miami gutted the roster, they will have an extremely hard time winning regardless of how hard they try.

                    Why would you go up 14-0 in the first place. ..

                    Front office is tanking

                    Players just suck

                      The players are trying, they are just hopelessly undermanned. Fitz is a fierce competitor.

                          The players absolutely are not tanking. Do you realize how detrimental it can be to a player to have a terrible year? Especially these Dolphins players that are on the fringe to begin with. I promise you, none of them give a shit about getting Tua or whoever is first pick. These players want to look good so they can continue to play football for a living.

                            Miami looks better than the Jets lately, and they play this week. Sure Miami has no talent, but the players
                            are trying, they just don't have the talent needed. There is a good chance they beat the Jets this week at
                            home. Then they play Cincy later on in the year, and when they lose that, there will be a 4 way tie for the
                            first pick in the draft with Washington, Cincy, New York Jets, and Miami. Does anyone know the tie breaking
                            rules? I assume they are the same as for the playoffs except in this case it would be in reverse, so if it
                            came down to it, one of these teams would actually be rooting to lose a coin flip.

                                They got a ton of 1st rounders next year.

                                      Obviously and it is not exactly a secret. Just look at play call on two-point conversion attempt at end of Tua Bowl vs. Washington. Only threat now is Bengals.

                                        The ownership is demanding it. The coaching staff jobs look safe as long as they show spurts of good calls and get the team to execute good plays briefly, but DO NOT win a game at this point or your jobs are over.
