Dolphins Fans Point Fingers at Mike McDaniel After Tyreek Hill’s Quiet Performance in Thanksgiving Clash

While the world was celebrating Thanksgiving, Tyreek Hill appeared off-color for the Miami Dolphins in their game against the Green Bay Packers. The WR posted a subpar performance in the first half, with just two catches for six yards.

Tyreek compensated in the second, with six catches, 83 yards and a touchdown, albeit in a 17-30 loss at Lambeau Field on Thanksgiving day. Many fans, upset with his performance, took to X to point fingers at coach Mike McDaniel.

One fan blamed it squarely on the “McDaniel factor”.

I think is the McDaniel factor 😕

Another Dolphins fan expressed that Tyreek’s fall in performance had nothing to do with his recent wrist injury, but the coach’s lack of clarity:

Nope ot the wrist. It's the coach who can't figure out how to get your playmaker the ball. Every other team does it with less weapons.
I guess the playoff talk can't stop now.

Wrist has nothing to do with him not getting open.

WE NEED A NEW COACH

This fan also believed the Dolphins are under-utilizing Tyreek’s potential.

Have to wonder how you have the most dangerous offensive player in the league and he gets utilized like he has been…

Notably, several fans pointed out that the Dolphins WR’s wrist injury has likely affected his mobility and contributed to his struggles.

The Dolphins WR underwent a wrist surgery to address his injury. Meanwhile, with the Dolphins in contention for the playoffs after three consecutive wins, Tyreek made up his mind to play through the pain.

However, it appears that the move has backfired on the Dolphins. Can Cheetah bounce back in the next game against the Jets on December 7? The Dolphins certainly need him to, as they are 5-7 in the season, and cannot afford another loss.
