It’s very likely that our Dolphins are eliminated from Playoff contention before we play on Sunday at 4:05PM. The NFL rightfully flexed this awful game out of it’s original lofty Sunday Night spot. The Los Angeles Chargers will probably have dispatched the New England Patriots, the Indianapolis Colts will probably beat the NY Giants, and the Denver Broncos may just outlast the Cincinnati Bengals. All of these things don’t have to happen, just one will suffice. Even if both the Chargers and Broncos lose, they also need to lose next week as well. Let’s just get it over with, our team doesn’t deserve to be in the playoffs, they are pretenders, not contenders. For those of you still rooting, sorry – not sorry. Game time temps in Cleveland are expected to be near 60 degrees, so the lowly Dolphins won’t even get a chance to kill the “We can win in the cold” narrative. No, they can continue to be teams worse than us though, this they have shown they are capable of.
The Browns are a terrible team, scoring just 16.3 PPG good for 31st in the NFL. The defense isn’t much better, 26th in the NFL allowing 25.3 PPG. At 3-12, they’re more than happy to lose to continue to be competitive in one thing only, a better draft slot. Our Dolphins will fight like Lions now, now that we’re a sneeze away from being eliminated from the playoffs, we’ll probably wallop the Browns, and Tua will throw for 350 yards with an 85% completion rate and everyone will be joyous! I don’t care what we do in this game, because like most of you feel, you’re probably right that both Chris Grier and Mike McDaniel are both safe. If I was as shitty at my job as either of these 2 clowns, I’d be long gone. I’m better at writing than either of those jokers are at their respective jobs, despite my penchant for commas!
If I had to root for anything, I’ll root for Zach Sieler and Chop Robinson to keep playing at a high level. A loss in this game would be a shocker no doubt, but somehow “Teflon Chris” will keep his job, as will Mike McDaniel, Tua’s biggest fan. I’ll also root for Jonnu, who is a bright spot for this team on offense. I also have him in FF in the Championship game, so hopefully #1 remembers to use him. Jason Sanders has had an excellent year as well, and I also have him on my FF squad, so I’ll root for him. I think mostly I just feel contempt for this team. Grier is a very smug character, and when I look at what he tried to do, and view the results, he’s nothing but a failure. His guy Ross gave him the OK to go for it, mortgage the future, and in that endeavor, we’re 7-8 on the outside looking in, and soon that gate will close on us and all the Dolphins will be seeing the playoffs from their living room couches. Using Tua as an excuse is pathetic. That’s not an appropriate excuse, because you got caught with your pants down betting he would stay healthy. They bet hard, and bet a lot! WE ALL LOST THAT ONE!
GO DOLPHINS!!!
Finsmob Unleashed 
A foot to go, and you throw it 5 yards backwards….ok.
that may be this years low point
Soft ass team, pitching it back 3 yards behind the LOS.
Actually, they re-spotted it to about half a yard where it should have been. Much better. too bad we then pitched it back 5 yards to gain half a yard. Love ya, Mike D!!
lol, Love ya, Mike McD!!
4th and inches
pitch the ball 8 yards back please…:
You DON’T call a pitch on 4th and short!!! Second time today (Colts earlier) that this failed!
is there any reason to call a sneak there
that should be a fumble right?
it’s behind the Los
LMAO! Jevon Holland couldn’t even pick up said “backward pass”!!!
Mike – lay off the pipe bro, calm down
you dumbass, just fishing now
Great, another bad challenge.
incredible
he should throw a chair on the field at this point
Fire the replay advisor too….
Ross you watching this shit?
kick his ass to the curb
I just don’t get how you can throw that flag. Are you telling me there isn’t a single person watching that video back that can see where he released the ball vs where the ball went was almost a full yard? And can relay that info?
I don’t get it. What is MM doing? He’s doing shit like he’s trailing by 10.
Our safety play is so bad

What the fuck is that call. I have always hated this ref
TACKLE!! 15 yards!
lol
yep
Fuck I need to Copy Write that and make Tee Shirts
I mentioned earlier, CBS put the word in
that penalty is why people think the NFL isn’t on the level
Jesus, put skirts on them already.
divisional round is setup for Ravens at bills
Nice stop!
WOOOOO!!!
GREAT job, Ramsey!!!
2 scores down and you go for a td, yikes, if they were vying for the top pick, that’s a fireable offense
It is all falling together perfectly….
All the pieces are falling into place to have the other teams we need to lose in order for us to make the playoffs lose. Only for the Dolphins to lose to Jets next week.
LOL
That was such a huge drop
Content to Punt
Miami’s Motto
Weve mastered giving our punter more room
Fucking stupid has penalty. 2nd time this year Neal has fucking done that!
I don’t understand why the browns didn’t take a FG
other than that they are the browns
lol at run the ball and don’t do anything stupid (referring about MM)
jeudy would fit in well on our team …. Dropped balls , dumb penalties…
lol
nice D stand
was it a stand? or did they kind of sit there and watch the browns be the browns?
Another fucking penalty on Neal during the return. Special teams ace!!
Buffalo plant, just like Poyer.
25 yards of penalties in the last 2 ST plays, what a player!!
All the pieces are falling into place to have the other teams we need to lose in order for us to make the playoffs lose. Only for the Dolphins to lose to Jets next week.

Rock, that was my scenario I posted earlier. There may be a snowstorm coming to NY around next game also. lol
it’s the classic Lucy
35-27 12 mph wind, no precip
This team takes far too many penalties. Geez.
and a few too many unwarranted
we get a TO, a nice punt return and these guys just can’t seem to get their heads out
Well, we had 5 minutes of clean play to start the 2nd half. That may be enough to take us to the finish line, lol.
LOL is there an echo in here?
Good thing it is still 55 degrees in Cleveland. I was fearing a comeback by them.
Sure…throw the ball some more. Why not?
Huntley is entertaining at the very least
Huntley hot outside and the confidence was pouring out
got
That should be enough to win this
Not so fast lol
Huntley in the zone
10 point lead the entire half
can’t smell a productive run game
maybe the OL worst game all season
Can we get a good punt hear, Bailey? We should take our ST specialist out on this punt
Ask and ye shall receive
Yep!!
as requested
Smythe’s NFL shelf life has expired
^^
It really has
Content to punt….
Woohoo! Bailey with a timely punt!!
Not counting Hunley’s rushing #’s. The Run Game Guru’s offense has 21 yards on 18 carries.
this browns QB is the best grounder in football
wtf are the browns doing?
Jordyn Brooks = KEEPER
^
he was on my short list yesterday
Is Jaylen Wright inactive?
Well, it was ugly, but I’ll take it to stay relevant into the last game.
somewhere Omar is saying we didn’t have enough pts today to beat the jets 14
A week left in the season, just for fun, can I suggest a Quarterback Controversy?
Gotta say, if Huntley wins this one, and the next, why put the puss back in?
they usually take a couple of weeks to marinate
I just said something about this. I’d play Huntley next week.
he can’t beat Rodgers
Can Tua? I’ll take my chances.
Sooooo, Yes then? LOL
not gonna lie
the browns Fett costume was cool
YUP!!!
Jannu the miami goat? wow
that’s game
JONNU!!!!!!!!!
Pretty solid 2nd half. I actually liked that we went for the jugular on that last drive instead of just running it and killing time.
besides the early penalty putaria, MMs whackjob challenges, this game has been comfortable to watch
Ethan Bonner sighting
His sparkling clean white jersey gave him away
lol
other guys have shit stains from week 2 and his is pristine
Defense got 4 turnovers today. One INT, one fumble, two on downs.
I made brownies and cup cakes during the game. Plain, unadulterated sfw but delicious.
cupcake is a good nickname for MM
take note, I’ll be using it, thanks Rock
Coach Cup Cake
It’s all your’s Steve LOL
I hope it lasts as long as Randy’s bucket.
D plays good against unNFL QBs
I’m actually kind of encouraged about Huntley as our backup next year. Take the penalties out of the 1st half, he probably gets us 30 or more.
He doesn’t look LOST
better than spending 5m on Mike White
👍👍
Hate to be the grinch, but the Browns suck, and it was 60 degrees. If it was 20 degrees, it would be a different game and I’m sure you know that
But it WAS Raining .. that should count for something 😎🤷♂️
But do you? Do you REALLY hate being the Grinch? hmmm….
We’re talking about a backup QB. He played well in the game that was in front of him. It was a pressure game and he put up points; I’ll take it.
I’d like Winston
Roast Duck
Still alive!
woohoo
here comes a kneel from a backup QB
PHINS WIN!!!
cubs win cubs win
They also need to calm down with “finishing strong”. In between the shitty teams we’ve handled, we got shellacked by the Packers and Texans
the talk about finishing strong is why 🧁 didn’t have us ready to start season
LOL! 🧁✨🩳
Coach Cupcake Sparkle Pants
all the BS we say here, about Fins, at least we aren’t the COLTS
Where do we go from here? It’s anybody’s guess…
I certainly wouldn’t put too much stock into Tyler Huntley, after beating a 3-win team in the Brownies.
Though what he did put on tape looked good… getting it out fast like Tua behind one of the worst O-Lines in the NFL.
embarrassed by the jets or bills or put the playoffs can’t win to rest
^
Gregg Gumbel RIP
Really good game and Huntley looked really good. Those were Tua numbers today except he can actually run. Unlike the poor RBs under an ex run-game coordinator. I like it when the Dolphins play terrible teams! It’s fun again! Jets look terrible and the backup also looked better for them so maybe we get the Backup Bowl and win out. 9-8…maybe we have our own little Mikey Tomlin in the building?
the jets don’t just look terrible
terrible is in their blood
terrible missing their dna
if the jets look good – it would not be real
it would be a crackheads moment of glory
the jest are bad
The herpes of nfl franchises
I am almost afraid to play them in case it’s contagious
We must play them a lot if it’s contagious… 😉
we got a little jets in our blood
Huntley stats
84%
225 yds
2 total TDs
53 yds rush
Looks like a Tua game against lesser competition as well. This o line is atrocious and I pray there is no extra game this year because it will be a massacre. But…Grier ain’t worried about it.
Those are honestly better than Tua stats. 53 yards is a lot for a QB and he didn’t have a single bone headed interception which is a Tua calling card since McD came in. This was Tyreek’s 3rd biggest game this season and he spread the ball to 7 different WRs. Only person that suffered was Jonnu but he still caught a TD.
I said it.
I’m on record on here.
If we win a PO game this year I become a blind Grier fan…
Uhrp. 🤢🤮
Go Dolphins
Go Ross!
DO IT!
No more of THIS
Rock, the scenario gets better. If Rodgers can’t go next weekend, it will be Dolphins killer Tyrod Taylor who was 4-2 vs the Dolphins with Buffalo (5-4 overall vs Dolphins).
if Tyron Taylor beats Tyler Huntley next week
point me to the highest bridge to jump from
MUHAHAHAHAHAHA!
You’ve got wiings
This is awesome! We still have a shot. That is all a fan can hope for!
if we get in as the 6
we get a shot to knock buffalo out in Buffalo
and that will make my season/decade
init happy about season
but one shot to get the at playoff win against a rival makes everything worth it
Agree 100 percent
What a great day!!!!!
🧚
Cheer your own way
Very fun game.
🧁✨🩳
Dolphins now have the 15th overall pick.
That is until Ross gets caught tampering with Aaron Rodgers next week.
LOL!
Don’t care until the season ends s over
I know but Tim wants to know 😉
Always cheer for the best, or why be a fan, is my motto. That is still alive!!!
Piggy, we can’t get in as the 6th. We can only get to #7 seed which would be at Buffalo.
I meant to type the 7th
that’s the 2 – 7 matchup with Buffalo
Buffalo is the 2 so if we get in we play @buffalo
Just cheering for the best outcome, and there is still a shot. Yes!!!
With the Giants win, the Pets now have the #1 pick in the draft.
Everyone says they are going to take Travis Hunter. We’ll see. They need WR but have tons of money to get one in F/A. I think they go after Tee Higgins. Higgins will probably the best young WR in the F/A pool.
The WR pool in the draft isn’t all that great either.
Chance at playoffs > draft position. I wait all off season for this, I do not care about anything else but the games until it is over.
I care about winning also. Even if we were out of it. I just keep track of it. It’s my thing. lol
LOL I am happy you are happy Bookman. I am imagining you frolicking around your house in a tutu like Bugs Bunny, but with more of a Shrek vibe….
@schadjoe
Dolphins 8-8 this season
6-5 when Tua starts
2-3 when Tua doesn’t start
Ben Bredeson signed a 1yr, 2.9 million contract with the Bucs this last offseason and has played well for them starting at LG.
He is a free agent again in 2025.
49er’s LG Aaron Banks is also a F/A next year.

BB Mike, this isn’t directed at YOU in any way, shape, or form…
Just wait until next week, after we slaughter the weakling stej!
We’re going to have the worst Draft pick possible while possibly missing the playoffs. And IF we make the playoffs?! We’ll be bounced out in short order by the Bills (@ the Bills) with an even WORSE Draft pick!
THIS IS HOW PURGATORY IS FORMED by an NFL franchise. You’d think we’d know better after all these two dozen fucking years. Yet, half of our fanbase wants us to make the playoffs, just to see it happen over and over and over again.
Half the fanbase DESPISES Tua for being a so-called sucky QB (LMAO!), and then takes shots at him for not being available!!! YA CAN’T MAKE THIS SHIT UP! The guy can’t win, especially in the media and those who have their shallow minds made up by the media (see politics).
Personally, I’m all for getting the very best Draft pick possible… and that goes for EVERY round in the NFL Draft (few realize as much, not thinking outside of the 1st round!).
Mike E and I concur on this: something MUST change! We’re too soft in the trenches (minus Calais Campbell and T-Stead), we’re too soft in the passing game (yes, and in the running game… see our O-Line), and we’re just too soft in general.
BUH-BYE, Jevon Holland and Jordan Poyer, for example!!!
Seriously, Tua is certainly NOT the Alpha and Omega of our problems. Now if he misses an entire season like Bradley Chubb has… in exchange for a 1st round pick and a $29M cap hit in ’25… when we could have had Roquan Smith for a 2nd round pick and for far less????? Yeah, Chris Grier is the problem.
Truth be told, Tua has outperformed ALL QBs who got their extensions prior to the ’24 season… and y’all know who they are.
Look at Sam Darnold. Has he suddenly become really good after sucking everywhere else. No, the Vikings built a good OL.
A solid O-Line makes for (potentially) great QB play… while bolstering the running game.
I always understood why the Tuna took Jake Long over Matt Ryan in the ’08 Draft.
I seriously can’t get over that one… Chris Grief traded for Chubb over Roquan Fuckin’ Smith!
That alone makes me very angry with Grief.
He’s the reason we can’t afford good players in the trenches.
M – to be honest, I don’t know which part of hating Tua for not being available, and hating him for never showing up in big games confuses you. Those 2 things don’t contradict each other. Do you want me to love him for sitting out of today’s game with a boo boo because I don’t like him? It’s part if the reason I hate him, because we never should have rewarded him with that huge contract. Availability is a huge thing, but to me, availability means 2 things. Not only do you show up, but you make yourself available to the team to play the same way you play against the shitty teams. You can’t just show up and play well against losing teams, not if you’re going to ask to be one of the highest paid players in the league.
Add in the fact that Josh Allen, Joe Burrow and Patrick Mahomes would all be on the field for their respective teams and balling today if their team was fighting for a playoff game. The fact that he allowed them to sit him confirms to me he puts himself ahead of the team
Mahomes played through a high ankle sprain when they already had their division clinched.
Even Sauce Gardner knows the Jets are more screwed up:
On Instagram:
teehiggins – “Put me in coach”
Sauce Gardner’s comment to Higgins post: “PAY THE MAN”
A fan then replied to Sauce: “tell him come to da jets”
Sauce’s response to the fan: “I will NOT be telling him that”

LMAO!!!
Here’s the AFC picture
•Broncos win vs. Chiefs → Denver is in.
•Broncos lose, Dolphins win vs. Jets → Dolphins are in.
•Broncos & Dolphins lose, Bengals win vs. Steelers → Bengals are in.
•All three lose → Broncos get in.
I feel like the Benglas are the best, followed closely by the Broncos. Then a bunch of notches down are the Dolphins, who probably won’t be competitive in RD 1
There is still no official game time for next weekend. Every game is listed as TBD flex game.
