That hype train that carried the Dolphins into Foxborough Thursday night crashed and burned harder than Ja Rule’s rap career.
Tom Brady Destroyed The Dolphins And Saved A Man’s Life
Miami was undressed by the Patriots on a national stage. Tom Brady finished 26-of-38 for 356 yards and four TDs en route to a 36-7 victory. Ryan Tannehill -- who continues to struggle against divisional opponents -- could only muster two interceptions and a 9.7 QBR.
As if that wasn’t bad enough, the Dolphins were delivered a decisive blow on Friday.
3 Replacements For Joe Philbin After Dan Campbell Doesn’t Work

The team’s best pass rusher is done for the season.
DE Cameron Wake led the #Dolphins with seven sacks this season. The next highest total is two sacks by Olivier Vernon and Ndamukong Suh.

Timing of Wake injury is brutal. First 4 games, he had 1 tackle & 0 sacks. Last 3 (under DC Lou Anarumo), he had 7 sacks & 4 forced fumbles.

At 3-4, the Dolphins now sit in the cellar of the AFC East.
Battles with the Bills, Eagles, Giants, Chargers, Colts and Patriots still await them. Four loses during that stretch -- plausible considering the level of competition -- will see Miami, at best, claim its third consecutive 8-8 season.
Though interim coach Dan Campbell succeeded in briefly revitalizing the Dolphins, this is the reality that awaits him.

His motivational tactics were suited for a South Park elementary school, not an actual football field.
