Miami Dolphins fire General Manager Chris Grier after disastrous 2-7 start.

Kyle Crabbs breaks down the shocking organizational shake-up, examining Grier's personnel failures and lack of conviction that left the roster without identity. The discussion covers Champ Kelly's unique qualifications as interim GM, Mike McDaniel's uncertain future, and Stephen Ross's rare public statement demanding immediate accountability. Key topics include the upcoming trade deadline implications with Matthew Judon, Bradley Chubb, and Rasul Douglas as potential trade candidates, the critical importance of organizational alignment in the next GM hire, and how every player and coach is now auditioning for the incoming leadership.

Will McDaniel survive the season? Can the Dolphins extract value at the trade deadline? Discover what this foundational shift means.

The Dolphins dominated the 1st half on both sides of the ball, but mistakes and miscues by the offense had them trailing at halftime, Lamar Jackson threw 4 touchdown passes in his 1st game back from a multi-week injury absence, and the Baltimore Ravens poured it on in the 2nd half to run away with the 28-6 win that slammed the brakes on Miami’s momentum and sucked the life out of Hard Rock Stadium.

The Dolphins are back home to play the Buffalo Bills on Sunday November 9, with kickoff set for 1:00pm ET.

Miami Dolphins face Baltimore Ravens on Thursday Night Football in a must-win showdown between two struggling AFC contenders. Can Tua Tagovailoa exploit a depleted Ravens pass rush, or will Lamar Jackson's homecoming game expose Miami's defensive vulnerabilities?

Kyle Crabbs and Kevin Ostreicher break down the critical matchups that will decide this game, including elite cornerback Nate Wiggins shadowing Jaylen Waddle and the chess match between coordinators Anthony Weaver and Todd Monken. The discussion covers Miami's offensive evolution after their Cleveland blowout, Baltimore's defensive line crisis with Nnamdi sidelined, and how Derrick Henry's dominance with fullback Patrick Ricard could control the game. Key insights include tracking Kyle Hamilton's position on every snap, Miami's gap scheme adjustments under Mike McDaniel, and why both teams are coaching for their playoff lives on a short week.

Discover which team has the edge in this desperation game and what adjustments will determine the winner.
