The essence of modern Game Theory is an attempt to predict behavior in order to maximize outcomes and is mostly applied to economic models. It started out as a something that applied to zero-sum outputs, which means for every winner there must be a loser. It has since grown into a large field of study that really looks for best outcomes in given situations. It is about creating strategies to achieve those outcomes. Something the Dolphins seem incapable of doing at the moment.
I have railed quite a bit about the inelastic behavior of the defensive staff and not unexpectedly that is already rearing its head.
