hahaha, dude shouldn't even be on the pitch after getting knocked out cold and then he goes and kicks Johnson up in the air. What a hero.

I for one question whether an NFL player has ever even suffered a concussion. Non work related, perhaps.

I'm not even mad at Cameron. His incompetence is so severe my feelings lean more towards pity.
I am actually not that upset about Philbin getting one more year. I don't hate him. The biggest knock I have against him is that he sucks at motivating the team when they really need it. The last two games of last year were pretty unacceptable from a coaching standpoint. We'll see what he can do with some new guys around him but if they miss the playoffs this season he needs to be shown the door
on the plane back to Green Bay.
Maybe having 8 head coaches in 15 years is part of the problem? But hey...by all means go for 9. Maybe he'll be fired during the season and an interim can take over so you can make it an even 10 next year when the Dolphins hire their next future ex.

Yes, the ultimate problem is Stephen Ross. Not trying to argue against that at all.
Do you think Philbin should get another year if the Dolphins miss the playoffs this season?

I'm ok with him sticking around only for tannehills sake, I just don't like his coaching style but yeah this is it for him, either playoffs or he's gone
Well to be fair two were interim and one quit like a little bitch so that's only 5 in 15 years.

Because there is a mistaken belief that complete morons like Gerrard and Rooney can be relied upon at the highest level simply because they are big names.
Watch Rooney score to make me look like a fool but fuck him. He's still a lazy cunt.
EDIT: Like I said, he's still a lazy thick twat.

I mean, it depends on how the season goes but basically I''d marry him to Tannehill. As long as Tannehill is progressing yeah I'd keep him.
Basically you want to be positioned to fill the void the Patriots are going to leave starting this year. I saw nothing out of Philbin last year that would make me want to move on. He had a competitive team with a young quarterback and insane turmoil. Positives. Unless things go real sideways I'd definitely bring him back. Teams are way too fast to fire head coaches. That's why coordinators exist.

About time he scored today, has provided no creativity or support to the midfield today. Provided zero support to Baines against Italy when his job was to protect him on that left side but he preferred to sulk and leave Baines up shit creek two against one.
I'll stop whining about him for a couple of days if he scores the winner though
The_Darkest_Red

Yeah, I see your point. Still, losing and getting out-coached by the Bills and Jets in the final two weeks of the season to miss the playoffs is pretty unacceptable, especially when the previous season wasn't any better.
Also, you can say he had insane turmoil but many would say that is his responsibility, at least in part. The whole bullying thing is a huge black eye on his tenure and I find it hard to give him a complete free pass on it.
I'm glad someone got it..
Taken them back.

Gerrard you cunt
What does "outcoached" even mean? He isn't as good a coach as Rex Ryan but I'd argue very, very few are and whoever you bring in to replace him won't be either. I don't remember what happened in the Bills game.
I wish some team would do a "day in the life" video of an NFL head coach.

Philbin has never been great at making half-time adjustments. This was especially apparent in those two games. I refuse to say Rex Ryan is a good coach but I'm obviously biased.
The Dolphins lost 19-0 in a near must win situation to a Thad Lewis led Bills team. Good luck releasing Philbin from all blame on that one.
I just don't remember it. Once it comes time for meaningful football games I pretty must just ignore everything that happens in the minor leagues.

One of the best if not the best defensive coaches in the league, IMO and he annoys me to no end more often than not.

Poor Wes
Ben was apparently impressed with the new guys on defense.
This might be the first time in a long time that we are fast on defense. I predict a return to defensive dominance based on that fact as everyone knows that you can accurately predict football greatness solely on 40 times and verticals.

Terrible head coach though, glad jets kept him
And his Father was one of the greatest defensive coaches in NFL history. Could even be the greatest.

89-91 Eagles
Give England a break. They have been going through some tough times lately.

People forgot about your background! If only you were as dumb as Gata, more people would take notice.
I'm also kind of bummed out that Rooney got his first goal. It's one of those running sports jokes like Lebron never winning a title that when they're busted, the world seems a little less humorous.

Gerrard can do most, if not all, of the things required of a professional footballer. He can play 50 yard passes that land on a dime, he can smash the ball into the top corner from 30 yards out and he can run around and break up play defensively. If you look at a youtube compilation of his highlights then anybody will think they are watching a world class footballer.
Unfortunately he is a stupid scouse cunt and this genetic curse means he lacks even the most basic of brain functions. As such he has no idea as to WHEN he's supposed to do any of those so he runs around like a headless chicken kicking the ball as hard as he can at random.
Over the course of a league season, this will obviously lead to enough spectacular moments to make impressive looking youtube videos. These highlights, combined with the insularity and insecurity of Liverpool fans means he has been hailed as a world class talent despite his idiocy making him a total liability at the highest level.
You should really go to England during a major international soccer event (assuming they qualified).
It is one of the most hilarious things you will ever see. Prior to England being eliminated in the first week of competition the entire nation starts to act like KAS. They somehow delude themselves into thinking that they have a realistic chance of winning the whole thing and everyone puts an English flag on everything. There will be a lot of talk about George best and the one world cup England won approximately 200 years ago. Despite having eyes they will convince themselves that guys like Rooney and Garrard are world class athletes and soccer players. Everyone starts to get genuinely excited as the match starts. No one is realistic about anything until the other team scores their first goal (usually pretty early and usually pre-empted by something embarrassing by England). They then get quiet but you can tell they are mostly thinking about a miraculous comeback. These delusions get greater as we get closer to the end of the game and England being knocked out. When the whistle blows you will be astounded to see the look of disbelief on their faces. THEY ACTUALLY THOUGHT ENGLAND WAS GOOD ENOUGH TO WIN. Blows me away every single time.
5 minutes after they lose all flags disappear (for a country of approximately 500 people this is pretty impressive efficiency) and they immediately look for a scapegoat on the team.
I wonder if most European teams act that way.

It's really weird because "hope" is not a natural English trait. Sarcasm, pessimism, and gallows humor rule the day. You'd think they'd have the same outlook on their national team as they do every single thing else ever.
Works for the Raiders!
