Mike McDaniel’s sharp response to fan boos during Ravens offense

The Miami Dolphins produced a listless flop on Thursday Night Football in Week 9. The Dolphins fell to 2-7 on the season after being completely dominated by the Baltimore Ravens. Miami was shut out for the final two and a half quarters in Thursday’s 28-6 loss. Let the home audience hear it too, booing about the Dolphin’s non-arrival in prime time.

Mike McDaniel he was asked for his thoughts to fans booing and putting bags over their heads during a Week 9 blowout. “Yeah, shit. It’s bullshit. All of that. But I think it’s a pretty consistent formula for fans to enjoy the wins,” Dolphins head coach admitted, per David Furones of the Sun Sentinel.

“And so, our expectations are that we have to do the job and do the right things to make the fans enjoy the experience. And unfortunately, we didn’t do that tonight, so we have to get back to work and give them something to cheer about,” McDaniel added.

Dolphins fans had nothing to cheer about in a 2-7 start

The word salad on Thursday night is not the first strange comment after the game was made by McDaniel after a loss. Miami’s massively disappointing start to the season has given the coach plenty of opportunities.

Despite the strange remarks and his team’s poor performance, the Dolphins stuck with McDaniel. Things were actually looking up for the team after a big win in Week 8 over the Atlanta Falcons. The 34-10 victory fueled the reports McDaniel appeared “logged out” to the rear burner.

But a dismal showing in Week 9 in a stand-alone game sparked an outpouring of disgruntled fans and NFL watchers. Even McDaniel was furious with his team after a brutal sequence from the first half deleted the opportunity to score. In a rare display of emotion, the fourth-year coach was caught on camera screaming at the players.

Tua Tagovailoa regressed on Thursday. After a four-touchdown game against the Falcons, Tagovailoa was unable to sustain any offensive momentum against a porous Ravens defense. Ugly fourth quarter the interception led to fans ripping Tu.

Miami had four possessions in the second half. The team punted twice and coughed up two turnovers. Now 2-7, the Dolphins host Josh Allen and the Buffalo Bills in Week 10 after a mini-slump.
