Miami Dolphins fans are upset with Mike McDaniel for his costly decision to keep starters in the fourth quarter of a blowout loss to the Baltimore Ravens on Sunday.
Quarterback Tua Tagovailoa and pass rusher Bradley Chubb sustained injuries with the Ravens ahead by over 23 points with around eight minutes to play. Tua said he thinks his shoulder injury will be fine, but he’s feeling soreness. Chubb had to be carted off the field with a knee injury.
The Dolphins didn’t have a chance to come back and win Sunday when Tua and Chubb suffered injuries. But their injuries could bite them when they play the Buffalo Bills next week to decide which team wins the AFC East.
Miami Dolphins fans are upset with Mike McDaniel
McDaniel, a skinnier and younger version of Charlie Weiss, made plenty of poor coaching decisions Sunday. But his worst choice was keeping starters in to get injured late in the fourth quarter. Here are the best takes of Dolphins fans criticizing McDaniel for keeping Tua and Chubb in.
Mike McDaniel left Bradley Chubb in, down 30 in the 4th, and he tore his ACL. Coaching malpractice.

It’s time for Mike McDaniel to be held accountable. You can’t just act cool all the time. Grow up. Inexcusable to be outplayed and then have your best players hurt in a blowout. Good Offensive Coordinator but not a Head Coach #Dolphins

What “cute and “funny” response is Mike McDaniel going to give when asked why our starters were still in while we were getting blown out? @MiamiDolphins

Mike McDaniel’s feet need to be held to the fire with this Chubb injury

Pretty terrible Mike McDaniel had his entire starting defense in a 49-19 game with 4 minutes left and Bradley Chubb got carted off with a potentially serious injury.

I hope somebody throws the conference room basketball at Mike McDaniel during one of his team meetings on the next episode of Hard Knocks @MiamiDolphins

I just want to pick up that little pimp squeak Mike McDaniel by the seat of his pants, give him an atomic wedgie while making him explain keeping in starters
