Everyone with a connection to the Miami Dolphins probably had a niggling feeling that they will have a big struggle of a season. However, nobody in the team imagined they will lose by 59-10.
The disappointing display by Brian Flores' team is one that will be hard to forget for Dolphins fans. And it seems like the players found it hard to swallow as well if we are to believe the reports of a mutiny in Miami.
Mike Florio of Pro Football Talk reports that some players were so disgusted with the way the team performed that they are now talking with their agents to scheme about getting out of the city.
Per a league source with knowledge of the situation, multiple Dolphins players contacted their agents after Sunday’s season-opening blowout loss and directed them to attempt to engineer trades elsewhere. The players believe that the coaching staff, despite claiming that they intend to try to win, aren’t serious about competing and winning and by all appearances have bought into the notion that the Dolphins will take their lumps now in the hopes of laying the foundation via high draft picks for building a successful team later.
Fitzpatrick told the Miami Herald that the team got embarrassed, and that opinion is rightfully so. The O-line was leaky, allowing the Ravens secondary to make three sacks. Fitzpatrick and Josh Rosen each had an interception to their name. The offense only managed 12 first downs for a total of 33 total yards.
Everyone knows that the team is tanking to get a hold of Tua Tagovailoa in the 2020 Draft. However, this question gets raised: Is it worth for the fans to suffer through games like this just so they can bring a talented QB to South Beach?
