Dolphins fans drafting the McDaniel firing post while shopping Mongolian beachfront to anyone defending him.
The emotional rollercoaster
Fan misery across the game window. Up is worse.
What happened
D.Achane's 48-yard sprint to the end zone on the second snap was the high point, and everything after was J.Burrow carving up a defense that surrendered 45 to a team shut out the week before. The brief flicker of hope — Q.Ewers hitting J.Waddle, A.Ingold falling on the fumble — went nowhere, and M.Washington's score only delayed the inevitable. The scoreboard is bad; the realization that this is simply what the Dolphins are now is worse.
What fans said
“I think it’s most likely we’re the Miami Dolphins and everything we do is fucking terrible.”
