Avast ye scurvy dogs! Yonder Miami Dolphins be cursed, for they still haven't seized a playoff victory since the turn of the century! Aye, Mike McDaniel's crew be defeated by the dreaded Kansas City Chiefs on a dark Saturday eve. Arrr, their luck be as rotten as a bilge rat!
So, let's talk about Laremy Tunsil, shall we? This guy, who used to play for the Miami Dolphins, has achieved more success in the postseason than his former team. Can you believe it? Tunsil won a division title, played a home playoff game, and even won a postseason game before the Dolphins did. Talk about a slap in the face!You see, the Dolphins traded Tunsil as part of a big rebuilding plan back in 2019. They thought they were on their way to becoming a Super Bowl contender, but instead, they're still stuck in mediocrity. They haven't won a playoff game since 2000 and haven't won a division championship since 2008. It's clear that the rebuild has been a massive disappointment.
The Dolphins finished this season with a 1-6 record against teams with winning records, while they were 10-1 against losing teams. That's pretty embarrassing. It's like they're the NFL's mightiest cream puff, a beautiful mirage that falls apart when faced with real competition.
And let's not forget about their quarterback, Tua Tagovailoa. Sure, he's shown some promise, but he's also carrying some extra weight and seems slow on his feet. He's got potential, but there's a big gap between being good and being great, and it's unclear if he'll ever bridge that gap.
Now, the Dolphins have a decision to make. Tagovailoa is entering the final year of his rookie contract, and they have to decide if they want to pay him big money or let him prove himself first. But here's the thing, they're also facing a dire salary cap situation, so it's not an easy choice.
In the end, the Dolphins are stuck in a never-ending rebuild. They have talent, but it's often injured, and they struggle against good teams. It's a frustrating cycle that their fans are tired of. So, will next January be any different? Only time will tell, but right now, it's not looking good for the Dolphins.
