The Same Old Dolphins Show

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.

Today on the Same Old Dolphins Show, Aaron and Mike preview this week's game between the Dolphins and the Colts as the Dolphins play most likely their last game without Tua. Can the Dolphins get to .500 and back into the playoff hunt? Plus, they find a few minutes to talk about some reality TV (yes, it can't be all football all the time.)

With 1/3 of the NFL season in the books, it's fairly easy to say that things have not played out the way most Miami Dolphins fans had hoped or expected, but the Week 5 victory over the Patriots and a bye week seem to have provided some sort of temporary salve.

Aaron and Josh are back to make a case for negativity and positivity with most of the season still to play and to take stock of where things currently stand for the Dolphins in the landscape of the AFC.
