    I'd love to know. I have tickets in the box. Should be about 3/4 Miami fans.

    I would imagine they would put all 3 relevant AFC wild card games on in the 4pm window.

    The negativity here by some is amazing. We need to beat the Jets and KC needs to beat Denver and we're in the playoffs. How you can be negative about that after our chances were down to an estimated 5% I don't know.

    And thank you Giants!

    1-3 this September. If they get credit for winning in December, then they get blame for losing in September and sending the season into a spiral.

    It's all about being a fan. Rooting, hoping, cheering them on hoping to make the playoffs.....
    The negativity is telling in and of itself. Not hard to figure them out.

    Yes. Contending for making the playoffs 3 years straight. Which we haven’t done in like 20 years. You have to be in the playoffs to win the Super Bowl. To even have a chance.

    We don’t live in Philly and those fans are str8 up arsewholes. Ever go to a game in an opposing fans jersey there? It’s hard to act with class when you’re parents don’t teach you humility or how to be an actual human.

    These are the same Philly fans who, not that long ago, would consider a losing season acceptable as long as they beat the Cowboys.

    Philly fans suck donkey balls.

    Won't argue with you there.1994 game at old vet me and buddy almost got into brawl with the entire 700 level for just wearing dolphin hats.
    Hated eagles ever since.
    My point is they only settle for a winner and the owner knows it.Our owner is content with mediocrity and keeps around his stooges like Grier.
    I have to listen to eagle fans everyday how the Dolphins stink and can't win a playoff game while the eagles are good every ****ing year!
    I have no comebacks because they aren't wrong.
    So sue me if I don't care about sneeking into wildcard rd only to get blown out as usual!
    I want more so I can shove it down there throats!

    Why does it matter when the team won a SB or how competitive they are right now? For franchise bragging rights we've won 2 Eagles have won only 1. AND Dolphins are the only team with a perfect season. That's enough bragging rights against an Eagles fan. It's harder against Patriots, Steelers or 49er fans.

    Good to see a backup Dolphins QB play acceptable football. Don’t know why Skylar lasted so long, but it brings home how much we wasted by trying to make him the backup

    I guess we got nerve hoping our team gets in the playoffs.
    It's pathetic hearing "fans" claim they don't want to make the playoffs because they're scared of losing. That's a loser mentality as it is.

    Dude that was a hundred years ago!
    Eagles have been good since late 90s.
    I am going to say they have gotten to 7 nfc championships maybe more and we have won 1 playoff win in that span.
    I feel horrible I made my son a Dolphins fan instead of Eagles fan.

    Who cares. Franchise comparisons means you include all games in the SB era.

    Also, you have no idea what the future holds. No way Patriots fans could have predicted the immense success in the Brady-Belichick era after all their failure before that. And I don't care how good the Bills are right now I'd hate to be a Bills fans knowing the most famous thing they did is lose 4 SBs in a row!! lol.

    Have some pride. Dolphins own the only perfect season in NFL history. That counts for a lot. We'll be good again and win the SB. Hopefully in my lifetime though LOL.

    Huntley did a great job throwing the ball down the field and also added another dimension to the position with his running. It was enjoyable to watch a QB that played like he wasn't made of slow moving glass.

    The Browns however are a pretty poor pass defense.

    You never know man. Leicester City winning the Premiership with 5000:1 odds means anything can, and sometimes does, happen!

    Dolphins now have 44% chance to make the playoffs (although that's not including the possibility of KC resting key players) and just under 1% chance for a SB win. That's WAY better than Leicester City. That's why you always want to make the playoffs because anything can happen. NEVER give up until it's mathematically over.

    And of course there's next year and the year after that etc. We'll see!

    If Huntley plays like he did today we should be fine. That would be great to have a possible solution for backup QB already on the roster. Because otherwise we need to put some resources into that.

    Ugly win, but we did it comfortably. I like what I saw from Huntley. His best sequences were obviously on the first scoring drive. I don't know why McDaniel went away from that because the short, quick passes were working once Denzel Ward left the game for Cleveland. We definitely got bailed out on the fact that Dorian Thompson Robinson might just be worse at quarterback than Skyler Thompson. The Browns were already checked out on the season anyway. The only guy still fighting was Myles Garrett...Would look awesome in aqua by the way. He straight up schooled Patrick Star Paul today. Made the rook look hella shook.

    What happened to Achane this game? We still can't run the football which is concerning. We don't block, and the team gets hit with way too many penalties to be taken seriously.

    Look, I want to make the playoffs. I feel like as crappy as the season has been, it'd be nice to at least accomplish making the postseason. The child believer in me has gone silent. If we make the postseason, it's a plane ride up to Buffalo where Josh Allen will proceed to mollywhop us in cold weather and send us back home to Miami In plastic gift wrap.
    We're a sacrificial slaughter as soon as we step on the field against them...But...We made that playoffs.

    First thing is first though, we have to beat the Jets. It can be done, but not with Tyler Huntley. It'll have to be Tua. How Miami Dolphin like would it be for us to luck out, see Denver lose, control our own destiny and lose to the Jets because Tua had a bad hip? I personally will explode with anger if that is how our season ends.

    Or...Let's say Denver wins! They beat the Chiefs and we are eliminated. You don't even have to play Tua in this one. Our pain has been relieved, no more suffering, no more season. Huntley can start and finish the meaningless affair with the Jets. We don't need to worry about being embarrassed in Buffalo, we can all avoid a two week civil war on here, and we can start looking at draft prospects.

    Lastly, we make the playoffs. Huntley proves me wrong and he finds a way to help us win against the Jets. Then...We play Buffalo....In Buffalo...With Tyler Fkin Huntley *Kill me now*.
    Now that is probably the worst possible scenario I can think of and it will enrage me just as much as it would losing to the Jets in a win get in situation.

    I'm making this about the quarterback because that is what it's ultimately going to come down to. How serious is the hip for Tua? I swear to God! If his availability all of a sudden becomes a question mark at the most important moment of the season, I'm going to be highly disappointed. I'm not trying to plant seeds or give us bad luck, but this hip injury came out of nowhere and it's bit concerning. I hope I'm overreacting and he was kept out today for precautions. Myles Garrett...

    So you think Tua has a better oline when he plays? Different players perhaps? Lmao

    It’s funny that you inadvertently complimented Tua without meaning to do so. Tua regularly plays a lot better than Huntley. And Snoop played well!

    The Browns beat the Ravens and Steelers.

    “squeezing”? so 17 points is squeezing?
    The lengths trolls go to in order to disparage the Dolphins and their HC.

    No. It's that Huntley doesn't have to be afraid to scramble cause he's not made of glass.

    What’s hilarious is if it was a shootout and ended up being 36-33 the defense would have been chit, Grier chose the defense. OMG total comedy.

    I'm okay with Huntley playing vs the Jets. That team has checked out. But against the Bills we need someone who can match scores and I don't believe Huntley can do it.

    This is an issue if Tua doesn't play again this year.
    Long term, the hip injury could be a career ender. And the Dolphins may not have enough information about it before the draft. It will really put them in a bind. My position is the Dolphins should continue to go all in for 2025 and that means passing over QBs until round 4. Cross your fingers Tua plays again this year and is healthy for next.
