    Let's start the new year right. Beat the pathetic Jets and hope KC helps us get in. I'll be in attendance supporting the team. Closest thing to a playoff game without actually being a playoff game. And if we don't get in we can still feel like the team gave it their all down the stretch instead of imploding like the Jets did this season. Let's all come together this week and support this improbable playoff push. Fins up!

    You would THINK with this being the final game of the season, Jets players would play their absolute best, auditioning for their continued roster spot or another team, but with how hapless they have been, I think the team has checked out. It wouldn’t surprise me at all if Rodgers didn’t get the start, but I doubt that will happen.

    Miami needs this game. They need it in the worst way possible. Even though it is “just the Jets”, it’s a divisional game and we all know anything can happen in a divisional game.

    As for KC…I didn’t realize Wentz was their backup. Now, Wentz is no Mahomes but he’s no Skyler Thompson either. And with Andy Reid, I’m actually feeling a bit better about KC delivering for us.

    Dolphins receiver Jaylen Waddle has been sidelined since suffering a knee injury against Houston in Week 15. Head coach Mike McDaniel told reporters on Monday that he’s feeling positive about Waddle’s potential availability for the Week 18 matchup against the Jets.
    “He had a good week,” McDaniel said in his press conference. “I think if the circumstances would have been different — it was kind of a recipe for disaster on the playing surface relative to his injury. We’d be begging for not only a reaggravation, but probably [one] early in the game.

    “So I feel optimistic about him, but we’ll progress that day-by-day.”

    Waddle was a limited participant in practice on Thursday and Friday last week before being listed as questionable.

    He’s recorded 54 catches for 700 yards with two touchdowns this season.

    McDaniel also noted offensive tackle Terron Armstead could be available for Sunday, though the club is getting Patrick Paul ready to start. Linebacker Anthony Walker Jr. is week-to-week but has not been ruled out.

    The Jets stadium, its field in particular, is the worst in the league. And Jets fans are inbred mongoloids who deserve all the ineptitude and strife that they get from their team.

    I used to go every year to Jets/Dolphins and stopped because of how bad the fans were getting. Since I stopped going a female NE fan was punched in the face and a Jet fan was stabbed in the bathroom for wearing a Chad Pennington jersey. And I keep seeing you reference Eagles fans as a comparison. They're the scum of the Earth and Jet fans are a very distant 2nd imo.

    Yeah, Philly fans are the worst. But since we play the Yets twice per year I hate them more.

    Who said anything about “handling” fans? I commented on the Jets stadium and their fans. Sounds like you’re butthurt?
    And I’m not worried about getting “beaten up”.

    Didn’t they replace the turf there once already, with the new turf being even worse than the previous one?

    I know they were talking about how bad it was last season when Rodgers tore his Achilles. I’m not sure if that was the “new turf” or not.

    Yep. It was new in 2023. I guess players (other than maybe Rodgers and the other players hurt their last season) are supposedly saying it’s better now?

    I would too if they were not sitting defensive players. Nix is pretty good.
    It will be disappointing if we start the game in the same fashion we did against the Browns.

    I'm from Allentown PA. I grew up watching the Phillies and 76ers. Dan Marino is the only reason I'm not an Eagles fan. Their fan base does have a bad reputation. They are some of the most bi-polar people on the planet. They are also some of the most passionate fans in all of sports. It's a mixed bag with Philly fans, but they're not all bad. I can say this from experience. I have never, ever felt the energy, vibe, and hype anywhere else like I have at a Philly sporting event when the moments of the game are at their finest. I get it though...They're crazy. Two Eagle fans would be fist fighting and by the end of the game high fiving each other.

    I've been to games in Cincinnati, Arizona, Wisconsin, Nashville, Boston, and Carolina. There are colossal A-holes wherever you go. There are also people like my grandfather who was a die hard Philly fan and one of the most stoice, gentle people you'd ever meet.
    When the Eagles beat the Patriots in the Super Bowl, most of the mayhem in the aftermath was being caused by out of state college kids. They come over from Jersey which is a stones throw from Philly, raise hell, and head back to Colgate university. My cousin who lives right downtown in Philly said that the only thing she saw and heard were people celebrating and cheering. She said it was basically an overflow of happiness, elation, vibes (I want that for us). Like I said though, you'll get a few that ruin it by ending up in a video on social media. The media has an agenda.

    Most bi-Polar/confrontational = Philly fans

    Most delusional = Boston fans

    Most annoying = Easily the Buffalo fans

    Most obnoxious = Jet fans

    Most angry = probably us haha

    The Dolphins can't play Tua with the early 1990s Cowboys offensive line protecting him.

    Line doesn't matter when you are this fragile. You can't protect a player from routine contact. I mean they try, but ultimately it's a losing game.

    Tua concussed himself on routine contact in the WORDS OF AN NFL PLAYER:
    “I was just trying to make a routine tackle, trying to get them off the field on fourth down." -Damar Hamlin

    Dude, if it was a left handed Brady, Manning, Brees or even Marino, you wouldn’t want Carman protecting their blind side.

    C’mon man, we all know your feelings about Tua but you can’t honestly believe any pocket passing quarterback would be in good hands with Carman protecting their blind side, can you? Seriously????????

    You are missing the point being made. You can't keep Tua healthy. He gets injured on the routine. Unless, you want to wrap him in a bubble, his body is going to be tackled eventually. He's the least hit QB in the league.

    It this is where you and others are missing the point. And I feel like a broken record.

    Folks like you continuously point at Tua. “He’s fragile, he’s injury prone, yada yada yada”

    I point the the Gawd Dammed offensive line being pure sh1t, so much so that not only can’t they block and protect their quarterback, they can’t block for their running backs to get a running game going.

    You build a team in the trenches, a foundation and Griers done the complete opposite.

    I'm not missing the point. That's a different point. If you want to improve the line, fine. I'm down with that even though McDaniel wants a lighter, quicker OL to execute the outside zone scheme. Those types are usually not also good pass blockers.

    However, Tua is ALREADY the least hit QB in this league due to his release and the scheme. You cannot keep him healthy no matter the line.

    Tua has only been hit 11x this season. Do you comprehend how low that is??? Huntley who has only played in 4 games has already been hit 10x. Mahomes has been hit 70x, Burrow 68x, Stafford 63x Herbert 60x.

    Tua rarely gets hit, AND he still gets injured. This isn't a line problem. It's a Tua problem, and there really are no solutions.

    Back to back years of the OL relying on backups at playoff time. And two of three years starting a backup QB. It's very disappointing. OL has to be the priority this off-season

    Not with the current GM, it won’t be. As has been stated here before, that is the primary reason why he has to go.

    Huntley starting. Sounds like Tua isn't even close to playing even if they did make the playoffs.

    They really have to draft a quarterback early coming up in April.
