Carr not going to locker room. Being driven out back where presumably he’s headed to the hospital to assess damage.
Ugh. That sucks for them.
Carr going down makes it a lot less likely the broncos lose next week. Let’s go chiefs!!!
Good point Cav.
I really thought we were done today. This team has shown toughness time and time again this season. I can’t believe the way we are winning these games; it’s truly remarkable. Enjoy this guys (and girl), as we all know it doesn’t happen often.
Resiliency is what this team has in spades. Different players evey week stepping up. I cant believe franks made a 55 yd fg
You’re right, Brian! Our 15 year winless streak in the playoffs may be coming to an end!!–Enjoy the moment, Dolfans!

DOLPHINS-PATRIOTS
Piggy 24-21 MIA
Rhino 28-27 MIA
FINS ARE FOR REAL!
This team is unbelievable. Never thought they had a chance to sweep both Jets and Bills. They proved me wrong. Lippett and Howard are quickly improving. Offense will be back and better next year. Defense is fixable for sure. More than anything else, we have a coaching staff that can motivate and create a winning atmosphere. Also doesn’t suck that they clearly know how to game plan an offense.
Merry freaking Christmas guys!
There you go Bookman!
Within 3!!!!!!!!!!!!
Make that 10 again 😦
The Miami Dolphins are a minimum of 10 win team. YEAH!
The loss of David Carr to injury sure makes New England the heavy favorites to advance to the Super Bowl. But, assuming Carr is done for the playoffs, every team that advances to the playoffs must feel like they have a shot to get to the AFC Championship Game. Dolphin fans take heart. We have a shot!!
We did miss maxwell today. Howard showed he was a rookie against watkins.
Getting Maxwell back is a MUST!
Ian Rapoport @RapSheet 3m3 minutes ago
#Raiders coach Jack Del Rio says QB Derek Carr has a broken fibula and will have surgery tomorrow. He’s out indefinitely. Crushing.
What was the flipping deal with the train noise in the stadium every1st and 3rd down we were on offense. It created problems for us. How is it legal for them to pump in that loud of a noise?
There was like a train whistle for when Moore was trying to hear the play being called in.That is “extraneous noise” and is illegal.
Bookman just threw the controls through the TV!
Wow Bookman must be having a heart attack here
Aaarrgh sorry Bookman. I hope whatever yer first pick was lost as well to take some sting out.
Toba did you win yours?
Too bad Bookman sorry brother
Adam Schefter @AdamSchefter 2m2 minutes ago
Seahawks WR Tyler Lockett is out for season and will require surgery on broken leg.
3 broken legs today!
Who’s the third?
Lockett
Carr
Mariotta
Thanks for the condolences on the survivor pool pick.
Toba, who did you pick?
Sorry Bookman. Better than losing next week though!
I am so stoked the Fins won!
I can’t believe they won that game. Franks came up huge after that miss.
I was commenting to someone how typical it would be for the Dolphins to ruin my Xmas, then they pull it out!
This is a pretty crappy game thus far.
It’s all good boys, we are going to beat New England two more times this year….
Once with Moore and again with Tannehill
Thanks Brian man I didn’t even hear about Marriota
10-5 on the season and 7-4 in the conference going into game 16…Who would have thunk?
Relevance feels so nice
Thanks Brian!
The Miami Dolphins have the fourth most wins in the AFC and are still not guaranteed a playoff spot.
Houston over Cincy… Houston over Tenn (without Mariotta)
Ravens over Pitts.
Miami at Houston for WC round. That’s a team we can get past.
The Chiefs are one of those choker teams they’ll lose tomorrow and then NE becomes a must win. It’d be nice to have it settled and be able to rest some guys.
Ideal playoff seedings, imo:
1. Oakland 13-3
2. Pats 13-3
3. Pitts 11-5
4. Houston 10-6
5. Miami 11-5
6. KC 11-5
Miami would be at Houston, then if KC beats Pitts ..at Oakland while KC at NE
Finally, Mia hosts KC …. 🙂 I did say “ideal”.
MY trotters hurt from clapping and high fiving
Just back from Christmas Eve celebration but I am still stoked about beating the Bills. I have no illusions that we are going far but I am just happy to be relevant at this time of year. Go KC
I’m so happy we won today. Some really bad injuries occurred today. Tyler Lockett, Derek Carr, Marcus Mariota. Gotta stay healthy. So big that we have Matt Moore. It’s HUGE. Think of the Raiders with Matt McGloin. Not the same. No knock on Tannehill, but how much better could he have played the last 2 games? Moore stepped it up big time.
You can see a difference with Tannehill on the field. He has a bigger arm, he is more accurate and is more mobile. However we can’t knock the job that Moore has done. Winning 2 divisional games on the road in December is huge
Well stated Ken!

Michael Thomas ✔ @Michael31Thomas
All we know how to do is fight. Great team win!!! Thank you lord 🙏🏿 #finsup @MiamiDolphins @Kiko__Alonso
Happy holidays to everyone !
What a game yesterday, nine out of ten
Don’t care who you play, in this league
That’s impressive
Merry Christmas and Happy Hanukkah
Great win yesterday – go Queefs
Couldn’t wait til I got home on Tuesday for the result, so followed Fins progress on NFL.com then got back in time for Fins last drive and Franks 55yder, followed by the awesome OT win – the double digit win! 🙂
What a game, what a team, what a season.
Happy everything to everyone.
Cheers
VICTORY SUNDAY!
MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE
^ I know the phins gave me the best present of all. Merry Xmas everyone!
1-4 to 10-5 record is astonishing. It is a testament to every player on this squad. They have the never-say-die attitude and just find a way to win!!
I just wish they would make the games a little less exciting. Houston Texans style blow out every once in awhile would be great thank you
The defense is the problem. Kudos to the phins for winning despite their defense.
Adam Beasley @AdamHBeasley 2h2 hours ago
If the Patriots gain 345 yards next Sunday, Dolphins will have surrendered the most yards in a season in franchise history (6,070, 1986)
Merry Christmas everyone….
Son and Bookman i picked Washington yestetday, so yes i am still alive. With losses by San Diego,Tennessee and Seattle (sorry) pool is down to 7 , 6 If Baltimore wins today …i have Baltimore over Cincy cued up for next week. Fingers crossed.
Go KC and Go Baltimore.
Thank God you stayed away from San Diego
Merry Christmas give my best to your lovely Mrs
Likewise Son and thanks for your swing vite on SD 👍👍
We won with a 3rd string center and back-up QB. That’s the brains of the offense right there.
^^^^^^^
And speed
Drake, Parker, Ajayi they all kill with speed
Stills , Landry and Grant
Explosive!
whacky stats from this season;
The Bill have scored the most TD’s in the AFC this year with with 48
The Dolphins are tied for 6th with 43 TD’s
The Dolphins have FOUR (4) net points on the year. That is an average win margin of .2666 points per game….
The Dolphins and NE are both 4-1 in the division going into next weeks game
Can Gase and the Team pull off two more wins against NE this year?
As it stands right now (assuming a Den loss) we would play NE next week, Pittsburgh the first WC game in Pitt and then the first seed (who plays the lowest seed winner of the WC round) who at this point is NE in their house.
Can we win against NE, Pitt, NE to get to the AFC Championship game?
“only” 4 more games left in the season before the big show. (seasons past there would only be one game left)
HOMERAIDE!! GET YOUR ICE COLD HOMERAIDE HEEEEEEAAAAAAARRRAAAHHHHH!!
The defense is the problem. Kudos to the phins for winning despite their defense.
Absolutely is! FOUR NET POINTS ON THE SEASON!
We are top 10 in TD’s scored in the league but are too soft in the middle of our D (the backside has been saggy too)
I wasn’t knocking Tannehill in my last post, I was just giving credit to Moore, who has really stepped up and kept the offense moving. Trust me, there are a ton of backups out there who couldn’t have gotten that done. Props to Moore
And a big ‘ol Suh Swat came at just the right time
He’s been killer! Playing extremely well this year
And guess what?
Everything IS different now! 🐬👍🍻
Also I noticed Nick Williams getting quality minutes at DT. He’s a big kid with a high motor.
Merry Christmas my Dolphins family!

Toba, friends don’t let friends pick the Chargers in December
I think the league offices were really smart to change up the scheduling to match up division teams against each other the last 4 weeks of the season. It has kept Playoff scenarios up in the air until the final week and help prevent some teams from playing subpar football late in the year because they have already wrapped up a spot. Just the scheduling change alone has made December football a lot more exciting
I like Kiko Alonso very much but I think we need a bigger Banger in the middle. If we had a super stud at middle linebacker our defense would be much much better. Don’t take this the wrong way I like Kiko very much as I’ve already said but he is too small he looks more like a big safety and he gets washed out of plays too often
Who is the biggest bad ass 4-3 LB coming out in this draft? ( not necessarily middle linebacker)
ILBs I like
Zach Cunningham Vanderbilt 6’3 230 4.74
Kendall Beckwith LSU 6’2 252
Ben Gedeon Michigan 6’2 247
Marquel Lee Wake Forest 6’3 240

DeMarcus Walker Fla State 6’2 273
Isaac Rochell Notre Dame 6’3 290
Tonah Kpassagnon Villanova 6’6 285
Need the Chiefs big time today. We close with NE and Broncos close with the Matt McGloin led Raiders
How bad do you think Raiders would want a Matt Moore on their roster right about now
OGs I like
Dan Feeney Indiana 6’4 305

Merry Christmas Everyone 🎅🎄☃️🍹.. From the Phindog Family. Go PHINS and Go Chiefs 🐬🐬😎
Sorry about spamming the board, but this is my wish list till the Combine.
Not spam don’t sweat it. It’s good stuff.
I know Christian McCaffery isn’t a need but man he’d be wild in our offense.
If we must let Stills go, we should get McCaffrey just to make sure NE does not get the next Edelman, and then we can also send him deep like we do Stills now.

Fuck Fanspeak! Have us drafting at #23 right now…. LOL
JEEZ Naples, holding in the Draft talk a little? ha!
Can you tell LB is a position of need IMO from my draft above? LOL it also had to do with who was on the board when I picked.
Love my Tigers so I also like Jordan Leggett, but I do not think Boulware will have a big career in the pros.
Raekwon McMillan also looks good pending combine numbers.
Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays everyone!
May You and Your families enjoy time together and make special memories, like the Dolphin family is doing!.
And thanks for supporting this team, They are magical and Gase is the Master Magician 🙂
Nice job with the Naples draft primer. I sense a potential post. The Naples draft board. Think about it
Matt Moore has become the next Earl Morrall and or Don Strock
Go Tanny!
Moore ended the first half very shaky but came back strong in 2nd half.
LOOKING FOR INJURY UPDATES on Phillips (who left the field holding his wrist in OT) and, of course, Ajayi, who had a shoulder injury. We need BOTH of those guys if we are going to beat the Cheats on New Year’s day. And we’ll need Maxwell back and playing, also, for that game. –Key injuries can just KILL a team at this point of the season.
———————
NOTE THAT ONE OF THE PLAYOFF SCENARIOS has the Dolphins playing at Houston in the opening round of the playoffs. Based on the Texans game last night, that’s a game we can DEFINITELY WIN and move on to the second round where, possibly, RYAN TANNEHILL might be ready to go!!!
The simulator also isn’t giving us our Comp 4th for Vernon yet.
sweeping both the bills and jets makes this season sooo much sweeter. Now lets win on sunday and split with the pats.
I’ve already had my superbowl this year with the sweeps!!

3 ways we get in:
Denver loss today
Or
Win against patsies
Or
Chiefs lose next two (we go in win or lose next week)
Don’t the Chiefs play Oakland next week? Who is Oak’s backup QB?
denver plays oak at home.
either way i wanna beat the pats 🙂
denver loses next week and we’re in I think.
Not sure about that. What I posted was from the pbp those were the three scenarios they played out. So not sure how it would shake out.
Yes if Denver loses one of the next two we are in no matter what
If DEN loses either game we got them. They’re a game behind us, right now they’re 8-6, and we’re 10-5. If they split the next 2, they’re done.
Same thing goes for BAL, 1 loss by either team, and they’re out
I won my FF championship in grand style. Not a close one, my guys really came through. 147-123
Merry Christmas to me!!!!!!!!!!!!
My wife seen the play-off scenarios last night, and turns to me say’s if the Dolphins play in Houston do you want to go!!!!!!!!
HELL YA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 🙂
That’s awesome! Hope that works out for you
Awesome
If this happens, I’ll meet you there. 🙂 I’m cheering hard for a game at Houston.
I already told her we’d have to meet a Rhino!
She was like What?
Dolphins match up well with KC and Oak the best. If we can get Houston in WC game and KC/Oak in Div game… that may be our clearest path to “whoever” in a conference game.
I think the Bills might be the worst tackling team in the NFL
That was atrocious on their part yesterday
Merry Christmas 🎄 and Happy Hanukkah
Round 1 Pick 23: Takkarist McKinley, OLB/DE, UCLA (B-)
Round 2 Pick 29 (K.C.): Kendell Beckwith, ILB, LSU (B+)

HO-HO-HO
Are you guys hearing that Vance went through a regular Friday practice including running and since the game was on Saturday instead of Sunday, the coaches doubled up and did the walk-through also on Friday so that they tired out the DL and that is why the Bills were able to score on every drive in the second half.

Welcome to the Saints nightmare last few years, now Buffalo’s nightmare with Rob Ryan.
I suspect both Teletubbies will be fired after next week.
It’s time people stop calling them defensive gurus
Partially Rob Ryan – was he ever coaching a good defense
Rob Ryan was just as bad in Dallas too. Talk about a career based on nepotism. lol
Big Ben with a horrible INT in his own Red Zone…ugh
Big Ben sucks, and yes the Ravens defense is playing their best football since playing us too…..Hate to have to play them again in the playoffs….Ugh!
Are we still rooting for Baltimore to beat the Steelers or do you want the Steelers to beat Baltimore now?
I think I’d rather have Ravens eliminated. We don’t win ANY tiebreak scenarios with them. lol
Goodness
How did it get to 20-10 so fast
it was 7-6 just before we went to pick up Chineese
Howie.. I love Chinese food but I can tell you I have never had it for Christmas Dinner.. Not that I wouldn’t , I just haven’t. 😎
the only way to avoid Pittsburgh or Baltimore in WC round is for KC to lose to Denver tonight and Oakland to beat Denver next week (or we beat NE straight up).
It’s too risky. gotta hope for KC win tonight and play whoever is in front of us in WC round.
It’s nice to know if Denver does win tonight though, that we had options. Tough ending in Cleveland today. Pretty sure KD was obviously fouled at the end, but then again, I would rather have Cavs overconfident and Warriors hungry for the series that we’re all anticipating, when it matters.
Warriors’ 3rd road game in four days.. so not exactly ‘playoff’ schedule anyway. 🙂
Dubs are mad at themselves for not taking care of the ball in last 6 mins like they had most of the 2nd half.
James should have been t’d for hanging on the rim … but refs are afraid to do that. And of course, whistles get swallowed on last plays of games for some reason. Ultimately, another curry bad xmas day game makes the difference.
Merry Christmas everyone!
Merry Christmas to you too.
….and just like that Big Rape gets them down the field with just over a minute & Wins the game…Buh Bye Ravens!!!
Ravens choked this game away. I would have rathered play at Baltimore then at Pitt.
Why? We’ve beaten Pitt twice in a row over past couple years….Balt not so much….Harbaugh has our number.
not me. Balt has our number… they just seem to match up with us better.
…and we have played well against Pittsburgh, even in our recent shakey years.
I just think that Bell will own us if we play them in Pitt.
Our rushing D is atrocious this year.
Chiefs clinch. Hope they feel they can win division by winning tonight and Denv beating Oak next week.
They will be giving it their best effort tonight with the division still up for grabs.
beating the broncos is enough for the chiefs to give it their best. But with division up in air I think they’ll play their best.
