Dolphins QB, Ryan Tannehill Likely Out For The Season - Ajayi In Concussion Protocol

Also, starting left guard Ted Larsen suffered a biceps injury and will miss several weeks of the regular season.

Many people including myself thought the Dolphins would be just as good if not better than last year's team that made the playoffs.

The AFC East is a whole lot different today than it was at this time last week.

Well....everything below New England is a little different anyway. We could come in second in the division at 7-9, while they roll up a 6-0 division record.

I wouldn't be so sure about the Patriots, Mace.

The Pats did something very out of the ordinary this offseason. They spent big money on a free agent cornerback from Buffalo.

Also, Rob Ninkovich retired last week. I think New England's pass rush is going to suffer in 2017.

There have been other times we thought that NE's loss of this player or that player to injury/retirement/free agency would affect their ability to stay on top. We were usually wrong. The Dolphins aren't so good as to be able to withstand a lot of losses, however. Second place in the division has become much more open than it was a couple weeks ago.

The Dolphins just went from 10-6 to probably 6-10 at best without Tannehill.

The Jets are in tank mode tire fire territory. They want a top 3 pick in the 2018 NFL Draft.

The Bills could have the best defense in the AFC East.

New England has always been able to plug in players and play with Belichick.

But Belichick and the Patriots made a very unusual move by signing Gilmore.

Bills fans know Gilmore. Far from great, selfish, never talked to the media, no leadership skills, locker room jerk.

Flailing arms, bad body language and always blamed the other guy - never himself.

The signing of Gilmore by New England is a sign of things to come.

Jay Cutler, Adam Gase reunion could mean good things for Dolphins

From the moment Dolphins coach Adam Gase aggressively defended quarterback Jay Cutler in May, it was clear that Gase had emerged from his one year of coaching Cutler with a willingness to do it again. Now, Gase will.
“I guess I know a different guy than what everybody else portrays,” Gase said after Cutler announced his retirement in May. “I think a lot of things that have been said about him in the past have really been [BS].”
But Gase knows that perception is reality. Which is why, as one league source previously explained it to PFT, Gase specifically worked with Cutler during their year in Chicago on eliminating aspects of his overall demeanor that suggested disinterest or resignation. “Head up,” Gase would yell to Cutler as he came off the field, and Cutler would comply — robbing cameras of images that would feed the notion that Cutler had given up or didn’t care.
It all worked well in 2015, quieting the remorse that fans were feeling after Cutler had completed the first year of a seven-year deal that had full guarantees for the initial three seasons. So John Fox and the Bears had no choice but to keep Cutler, and Gase had no choice but to make it work.
So why didn’t Gase and the Dolphins pursue Cutler months ago as a potential backup to Ryan Tannehill? As one source previously explained it to PFT, Gase didn’t want to undermine Tannehill’s status as an emerging leader. Even if Cutler would have taken backup dollars, the sense would have lingered in the locker room and beyond that Cutler was a rash of Tannehill interceptions away from taking over.
Now, Cutler is. The move implies that Tannehill won’t be back this year, although that has yet to be reported or announced. Look for the next leak or announcement to be that Tannehill will have surgery to repair his ACL.

Second place isn't good enough. I want the division.

Wild card first. Then go for the top. A 66 year old coach and a 40 year old QB will soon hit the wall.

We've been saying that since Brady his 35.

As for Cutler, this is a good move for Miami even if it does come with a good bit of risk. Cutler is a vet who could still put the ball anywhere he wants on the field.

He knows the system, he's been successful in it, so he shouldn't need a ton of adjustment time. Let's just hope, his slower processing time and tendency to force throws still haunt him.

I love that the Dolphins' back-up plans were Orton and Tebow. No mention of scumbag Kaepernick. HAAHAHAA
