The reasons why I was a Dolphins skeptic continue to resonate Sunday after Sunday. The offensive line has major issues in personnel, they are shaky in protections and don't seem to have the answers when the most probing questions are asked by a defense. It's, frankly, a tough watch.

People like to point fingers at Tua, and his health, but playing behind this unit would be a problem for anyone. And now that he might miss a few games, get ready for the real problems to start. How can a team throw the ball 44 times and not break 150 yards passing? In this day and age? The Dolphins somehow averages 3.1 yards per play Sunday against a Bills defense that ain't the '85 Bears.

Yeah, maybe having two offensive coordinators wasn't so smart after all.

Miami found a way to win ugly at New England, but it's hard to envision this offense going on a heater, and even that victory was more defensive in spirit than anything else. It's early, but there is reason for concern. Have to wonder if Brian Flores, and his always itchy trigger finger, already has some assistant coach (or PR person, or assorted underling) in his sights.

There is no doubt the coaching is in question.

In addition, I will say there is a severe lack of players actually
/performing./

Easy passes have been dropped, stupid fumbles have occurred, wide open
receivers have been missed (or not even seen), simple blocking
assignments have been bungled. The list goes on.

Much of this is on the players, who at this time, are sucking rancid
beer farts.

It's inexcusable.
