The Same Old Dolphins Show

It seems like it was in another lifetime when the Dolphins defeated the Patriots in Foxboro with Snoop Huntley leading the offense against Jacoby Brissett. Since then, the Dolphins have gotten Tua Tagovailoa back and their offense is rounding into form. The team is threatening to become a player in the race for the AFC playoffs. Meanwhile, the Patriots have moved on from Brissett and allowed their rookie QB Drake Maye to take the helm of the offense. Maye looks promising, but still has some maturing to do.

Aaron and Josh are back to discuss the game and what the Dolphins must do to earn their third straight win, but before that, Josh sits down with returning guest Tico The Pats Fan to get his thoughts on what has been a very interesting stretch for the Patriots, Sunday's matchup, and the Miami Dolphins in general.

The Miami Dolphins' offense was practically unstoppable as the Dolphins defeated the Las Vegas Raiders 34-19 on Sunday. Scoring on ever possession (except the very end of the first half), the team's offensive evolution took center stage. Not only did they take what the Raiders gave them, but Tua Tagovailoa was able to scramble and create plays off-schedule, a pair of characteristics that have been missing. Jonnu Smith had a career day. De'Von Achane continued to do De'Von Achane things. Odell Beckham, Jr. is getting more involved. Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddle remain a very dangerous receiving duo. The offense is really firing on all cylinders.

On the defensive side of the ball, Calais Campbell and Zach Sieler remain wrecking balls, with Chop Robinson coming on strong as well. Unfortunately, Raiders' tight end Brock Bowers was basically unstoppable, so it's not all wine and roses for the Dolphins.

Is this an encouraging sign? Are the Dolphins back in the race for a playoff spot? Are we back on the Kool Aid again?

After defeating the Rams on Monday Night Football, the Dolphins return home this week to take on the lowly Las Vegas Raiders, who come into the game on a five game losing streak, making them the coldest team in the NFL.

Internally, Dolphins players and staff seem to believe that the return of Tua Tagovailoa has has a positive impact and that it is not beyond them to make a run at the playoffs, despite their 3-6 record. If that is really the case, it would seem that an absolute beatdown on the level of what the Dolphins were doing to subpar teams at the start of the 2023 season is in order.

Can the Dolphins put in a complete performance and DOMINATE the Las Vegas Raiders? What does it mean if they can? What does it mean if they CAN'T?

The Miami Dolphins flew across the country in need of a big win to attempt to right a sinking ship. They got perhaps their best defensive performance of the season and another positive showing from the offense (though not without some warts). The Dolphins will fly back across the country bringing a big road win with them and, regardless of how you feel about their chances the rest of the way, that is in and of itself a good thing.

While the season has been long, grueling, and not at all what anybody has hoped for thus far, the Dolphins still have 9 games to go. Can the Dolphins continue with the momentum their offense has built over the last two weeks? Can the defense get its act together against a potent offense? Can the Dolphins pickup a west coast win for the second straight year?

The Miami Dolphins played what was easily their best game of the 2024 season on Sunday in Buffalo. In fact, you could argue that it was the best game they've played in two and a half seasons under Mike McDaniel. It wasn't good enough.

Despite of an excellent performance from Tua Tagovailoa and the Dolphins offense, the team fell short 30-27, losing on a 61-yard field goal in the game's dying seconds.

The shorthanded defense again fell short, failing to stop Buffalo's offense from scoring in their final 5 possessions. Josh Allen did Josh Allen things and, when it seemed like they made the big play they needed, an undisciplined penalty gifted Buffalo a first down that provided to be the second chance they needed to put the game away.

What are the takeaways from the game? What are the big picture implications? Aaron and Josh are back to discuss it on another episode of THE SAME OLD DOLPHINS SHOW at DolphinsTalk.com!

After a heartbreaking last-second loss to Arizona in Tua Tagovailoa's return in Week 8, almost all hope of salvaging the 2024 Miami Dolphins season went out the window. Now, the last vestiges of hope ride on Miami going into Buffalo and defeating the Bills on the road. To say optimism is low would be an understatement.

With Aaron still traveling, Josh is joined by Kevin Dern of DolphinsTalk Weekly to preview the game and determine if there is any possible way the Dolphins can come home from Buffalo with a victory. Join us for another episode of THE SAME OLD DOLPHINS SHOW at DolphinsTalk.com!

The Miami Dolphins received a big lift on Sunday as Tua Tagovailoa returned to the field. The Dolphins' offense immediately looked cohesive and functional. They moved the ball well in the air and on the ground, much like the famous song suggests. However, as has been demonstrated time and again, they are not a well-coached team. Sloppy mistakes stunted promising drives. The team's $200 million dollar quarterback fumbled a snap that hit him in the hands, resulting in a safety. And the defense, which had been praised by many for the deceptive stats presented over the season's first six games, was absolutely shredded in the second half. The coach, who successfully established the run early, once again shied away from it late in the game.

Some will blame injuries. Others will chalk it up to a brilliant performance by Kyler Murray. But the fact is, the Miami Dolphins have once again failed to put together a cohesive, 60-minute demonstration of complementary football. The result is that the team currently sits with a 2-5 record, three games behind the first-place Buffalo Bills, who are looming as a dominant road opponent in Week 9. The vibes are bad and there's ultimately nowhere for these players and coaches to point the finger but at themselves.

With Aaron preparing to move out of the state of Florida, Josh is joined by Kadeem Simmonds of Go Time Dolphins to discuss all of this and more on another episode of THE SAME OLD DOLPHINS SHOW at DolphinsTalk.com!

Barring a significant development, the Miami Dolphins will have their QB1 back in the saddle this Sunday afternoon. Tua Tagovailoa is progressing through the concussion protocol and was a full participant in practice on Thursday. In more worrying news, Tyreek Hill was limited with a foot injury. That could be anything, but it’s something to monitor.

That aside, the Dolphins should be in position to bounce back from the largely dreadful offense they have executed over the last four games. Will Tua’s comeback put the team on a winning trajectory? Will the team’s defense slow down the athletic Kyler Murray and a potentially explosive Cardinals offense?

On Sunday afternoon, the Miami Dolphins once again lost a football game because the passing game was largely ineffective, highlighting the flawed build of the team. There were also flashing neon lights pointing to Mike McDaniel and Chris Grier's negligence. They neglected to field a suitable backup quarterback after investing in an injury-prone quarterback. McDaniel neglected to create an offense capable of running without the centerpiece quarterback and neglected to suitably simply if in that quarterback's absence. Grier neglected to suitably address the WR3 position. Their negligence leaves the Dolphins 2-4 after 7 weeks.

The team's only hope rests on the return of their injury-prone quarterback and that player being able to stay healthy and lead the team to a second half resurgence. Doubt abounds.
