00:00 Miami Dolphins and the Kansas City Chiefs.

00:01 These two teams played each other in Germany,

00:04 a nice little international game.

00:06 Dolphins fell short.

00:07 What did this loss say about the team?

00:10 - Well, it says the Dolphins are frauds.

00:11 I mean, when it really comes down to it.

00:13 They're an entertaining team.

00:14 They're a good team.

00:16 They've got a lot of things that are fun to watch.

00:18 You know, Mike McDaniel is an entertaining coach,

00:21 a likable coach.

00:22 Tyreek Hill is unlike anything we've ever seen

00:25 at the wide receiver position.

00:26 But when the going gets tough,

00:29 they're not able to adapt to getting punched in the mouth.

00:32 That's when that video game controller offense

00:34 gets unplugged.

00:35 Tuatunga Valoa is a really good quarterback on schedule.

00:39 You take him off schedule, he's not gonna improvise.

00:42 What makes his game is timing, accuracy.

00:44 He's not gonna take off and run and make things happen.

00:47 He's not gonna make things out of nothing that aren't there.

00:51 You know, they lost a little bit with the injury

00:53 in the running game earlier this year,

00:55 but I don't think it's a coincidence.

00:56 Every time they face a real team, they come up short.

01:01 And this isn't, you know,

01:02 the smallest sample size in the world anymore.

01:04 I think it's three games this year.

01:06 But you're going back more than a calendar year

01:09 since they beat a team with a winning record.

01:11 The Bills, I believe in September of 2022.

01:14 So in order to win the Super Bowl,

01:17 you're going to have to beat

01:18 several of those teams consecutively.

01:21 Until I see that from the Dolphins,

01:23 I can't take them seriously.

01:26 - I think we're really gonna call them frauds though

01:27 after we were just talking about Tyreek Hill

01:30 being a potential MVP candidate a couple of weeks ago.

01:32 I don't think they're frauds.

01:33 - I still think he is, by the way.

01:34 I still think Tyreek Hill is a,

01:35 I think those two things don't have to,

01:38 you know, contradict each other.

01:40 - Okay, so I think that they're still a really great team.

01:42 They have a lot of good pieces,

01:43 obviously talented players, Tua, Tyreek.

01:46 But as you mentioned,

01:47 the last time they beat a winning team

01:48 was week three of 2022.

01:50 This season, they've lost to the Bills,

01:52 Eagles, and the Chiefs.

01:53 They wanna hang with the big dogs.

01:55 they gotta be able to win some of those games.

01:57 So the facts are the facts.

01:58 (whooshing)
