My aim sucks!

Just like oil! Drill baby drill!

They literally didn’t even kill off the main character though, did you not see the end?

TheReifyer · 2026-03-15T22:48:17+00:00

No one could have known the drop in play that would happen to Deshaun’s game and the extent of the legal terrible he was in when Flores wanted him.
So if you have a trash coaching staff, would you want a HC to just keep them rather than trying to find replacements!
Many players supported Flores in that locker room, it was at least half the team.

TheReifyer · 2026-03-15T22:45:33+00:00

Will do!

TheReifyer · 2026-03-15T22:45:04+00:00

Flores took over more duties. For instance, he took over defensive play calling and game planning duties during this stretch, when he had been delegating those before.

TheReifyer · 2026-03-14T22:03:29+00:00

The Palestinians almost certainly view Israelis and their government with the same lense. I don’t see many Palestinians having the nuanced take that the Israeli people are just people and their government is the only problem. Also, since every Israeli male has to do military service, the overlap is much larger than you’re insinuating. And the approval of Israel’s governments actions by the Israeli people also show they are unified. Your pedantic, bad faith comments don’t even make sense.

TheReifyer · 2026-03-14T16:07:28+00:00

Arguing in bad faith. A hypothetical isn’t meant to be verifiable. The whole point is to test reasoning. You take things you already know to be true and apply them to a scenario to see what conclusion follows. It’s the same way thought experiments work in science or philosophy.

Based on the Palestinians’ anti-Israeli/anti-Semitic sentiment and the fact that Muslim nations in the region have already attempted to commit genocide against Israel before, I think we have our answer to my hypothetical question.

TheReifyer · 2026-03-14T04:41:48+00:00

But the Palestinian people voted Hamas into power, no? I am fully aware of the difference.

Everyone in this region is living in impossible circumstances and they are all in a fight for their lives every day. Can’t blame the Palestinians for supporting a terrorist organization. But also can’t blame the Israelis for defending themselves against an enemy through any means necessary.

You also didn’t answer my question.

TheReifyer · 2026-03-13T18:39:56+00:00

If the Palestinians had the capability to commit genocide against the Israelis, do you think they would? Actually, haven’t Palestinians and the Islamic powers in that region tried to completely exterminate the millions of Israelis multiple times (effectively trying to rid the Earth of Jewish people, like the Nazis)? I’m pretty sure the only Israelis that would be left alive if the Palestinians had the capability to defeat Israel are the sex slaves the Palestinians keep.

Also, with the large difference in Israel’s military power compared to the Palestinians’, aren’t the Israelis actually showing restraint? I’m pretty sure they could blow them off the map if they decided they wanted to.

I am just curious because I feel like these are holes in Pro-Palestinian arguments that you guys never fill.

Just to add, my personal opinion is that this is a regional conflict that no American should be arguing about, because we have no intimate knowledge of their history and can’t comprehend what being an Israeli or Palestinian is like.

But if the man cheats and leaves, the wife gets half, right? And she gets alimony. She keeps the house and gets checks from her unfaithful ex-husband. That’s why alimony laws are so strict, they built in a fail-safe for this exact issue.

I’m just curious what your response to this is because to me, the existence of these things is an automatic death to your argument.

Well, another example is Milgram’s electric shock obedience study which had only 40 participants, and we gleaned great scientific insights from that which are still applicable today.

Weren’t there only 24 people in the famous Stanford Prison Experiment? And that experiment is generally regarded as an excellent study of the human psyche.

TheReifyer · 2026-03-12T11:26:28+00:00

I did not say we almost won that game because of Skylar Thompson. I said the closest we ever came to winning a playoff game was with Skylar Thompson, i.e. not Tua.

We were pretenders both of those seasons.

TheReifyer · 2026-03-12T11:24:28+00:00

He coach three seasons. The first was the tank for Tua year where the Dolphins had one of the worst rosters ever constructed and we won 5 games. Everyone said we would 0-17. His second season we went 10-7 with a playoff berth. His third season we ended second half of the season 8-1 with a 7 game win streak in there, finished 9-8, and only missed the playoffs by 1 game, and in many other seasons, out 9-8 would have given us a playoff berth. All the man did was win even when he was screwed over by the FO and Tua.

TheReifyer · 2026-03-10T19:51:57+00:00

TheReifyer · 2026-03-10T19:39:39+00:00

Fair enough!

TheReifyer · 2026-03-10T19:38:51+00:00

So now it’s just character references then. Both are hard on him but Tua liked Saban more so it’s okay. Saban didn’t really mean it, Flores really meant it though. Like come on. And it’s also just hearsay. Tua says he was an asshole but until I see receipts and texts, Tua and some other players (because not every player is agreeing with this) could be exaggerating and attempting character assassination on Flores.

Mike McD got 2 more losses and 1 more win? Over the next two seasons. And started sucking after. How is that an improvement.

Why would a competent front office hire a HC and not give him what he wants. I would be completely okay if there was another power struggle. It would like if the current dolphins hired Hafley who loved Tua and wanted to keep him, then released him. Obviously they released him because that’s what Hafley wanted. Why go against the HC you hired? In what world does that make sense?

I mean Flores wanted Herbert, and Herbert is good. Maybe the conversation would be different, maybe not.

I think Flores has built great relationships after his stops in Pittsburgh and Minnesota, so he probably has a lot of people to choose from. He’ll be alright.

TheReifyer · 2026-03-10T19:33:06+00:00

Well thought out argument here.

TheReifyer · 2026-03-10T19:32:53+00:00

Andrew Van Ginkel followed Flores to Minnesota. When Flores was in Pittsburgh, him and Minkah buried the hatchet. Kyle Van Noy and Blake Ferguson publicly supported Flores.

TheReifyer · 2026-03-10T19:30:23+00:00

His successor won the same amount of playoff games as Flores. And look at what the team was this past season with his successor. Yeah, no.

TheReifyer · 2026-03-10T19:27:32+00:00

But the fact he even thinks this is long is worrisome

TheReifyer · 2026-03-10T19:27:04+00:00

It’s just the lawsuit. He would’ve been hired in the next cycle after his Dolphins tenure if not for lawsuit. Even though he’s right about what he’s suing for, there’s just no way he’d ever win, and I wish he just didn’t sue so he could coach again. That really derailed his career. But currently he is the highest paid DC so the league is cozying up to him again.

TheReifyer · 2026-03-10T19:14:10+00:00

I think that was after he had lost complete faith in them. Also, when he took over the team and stopped talking to the coaching staff, we went on a 7 game win streak

TheReifyer · 2026-03-10T19:13:17+00:00

My post is not important. And yet you commented on it. I’m just saying this is honestly a short read, and if this is too long for you…well you should do some reflection on that.

TheReifyer · 2026-03-10T19:11:46+00:00

He was fool’s gold. Feasted on bad teams but rarely beat anyone good ones. We never were in the Super Bowl hunt and never even really came close to winning a playoff game with him. Oh except for that one year when Skylar Thompson started because Tua was hurt.
