The Dolphins are tanking & about to beat Philly -

Sean : 12/1/2019 4:10 pm
But, this regime deserves more time (it’s a 5 year rebuild). Fire everyone tomorrow.
With Tua getting hurt

I don’t think they are tanking any longer
The Dolphins haven't been tanking  
Big Rick in FL : 12/1/2019 4:12 pm : link
In a while. They wouldn't be starting Fitzpatrick if they were trying to lose.
Firing everyone tomorrow  
illmatic : 12/1/2019 4:12 pm : link
would be the worst possible move. Let this loser coaching staff get us a top pick. Then you fire them.
Amazing what a competent  
LauderdaleMatty : 12/1/2019 4:13 pm : link
Coaching staff can accomplish. And their OL is a bunch of absolute nobodies. Flores deserves a ton of credit
You get the point..

The Dolphins went into this year knowing it would be a losing year while the Giants felt they could win. How sad is that?

Agreed
The FO is tanking  
Jay on the Island : 12/1/2019 4:14 pm : link
But the coaching staff isn’t. It just proves the coaching staff for the Giants is truly awful when a team with far less talent, that was built to lose, is playing significantly better.
The Eagles will get healthy...

with two games against the Giants. It seems to play out like this every year. The Eagles skidding, then they play the Giants and turn their season around.
They aren’t tanking  
UConn4523 : 12/1/2019 4:16 pm : link
they’ve been playing hard for weeks. Fans think teams tank, not sure why.

Correct. Everyone has probably seen it by now, but if you havent, watch the fake FG for a TD by Miami, pass from the kicker to the holder. Teams that are tanking dont try that kind of stuff. Very imaginative. Must be nice....

Literally not one person thinks players tank...

Front offices most definitely tank though, 3 words.. "trust the process"

You are taking my post way too literal. The Dolphins went into the year knowing it was a rebuilding year and are OVERachieving while the Giants went into the year thinking they could win the division.

The Dolphins are so far ahead of us right now.
This is why I keep saying  
Dave on the UWS : 12/1/2019 4:20 pm : link
It’s the coaching. Hard to say whether there is talent or not on this roster. The coaching is so poor, players are regressing, not progressing. It does t matter what DG does in the off season of Shurmur is still here.
If the Dolphins are tanking,  
Mr. Bungle : 12/1/2019 4:26 pm : link
they stink at it.

Pretty much, the Dolphins are talent deficient but are well coached and trying hard. We're talent deficient but badly coached, other than maybe our special teams (and even then the DeOssie situation was left to linger far far too long).
The Fins...  
bw in dc : 12/1/2019 4:27 pm : link
gave every impression they were tanking trading Tunsil, Fitzpatrick, and Stills.

They have played hard all year and it's absolutely a testament to Flores and his staff. Because that roster is very subpar...

Which, to the point of the OP, is a tremendous indictment on our hideous organization.

We got Jet sweep to Scotts at a crucial time in the game...
You guys know what Sean meant - they're rebuilding  
jcn56 : 12/1/2019 4:28 pm : link
They traded away solid players in Tunsil and Fitzpatrick.

And they managed to look like an actual NFL team regardless. That's primarily because their roster isn't comprised of crap and their head coach doesn't have his head lodged up his ass.
Eagles almost won on the Hail Mary

how bad is the NFCE?

The Redskins are playing the best ball of anyone in the division right now..two straight wins. Eagles have lost 3 straight. Cowboys have lost 2 straight, 3 out of 4.

They know they don't have to be #1 to get Tua. They can probably get Tua wherever they end up in the draft.

It's tragically bad. Dallas may win with a 7-9 record.
