The Same Old Dolphins Show

The margin for error is gone. The Dolphins remain in control of their playoff destiny, at least for now.

With Tua Tagovailoa back in the concussion protocol and all but ruled out for Sunday, the Dolphins are preparing for Teddy Bridgewater to start a massive Week 17 clash in Foxboro with the New England Patriots. A loss wouldn't mean elimination for the Dolphins, but it would be a 5th straight loss and require the Dolphins to win in Week 18 AND get help elsewhere. Additionally, Xavien Howard has picked up a new knee injury and Bradley Chubb and Alec Ingold are both questionable with hand injuries.

In spite of all of this, the Dolphins are still the better team from top to bottom and SHOULD be able to get a win on the road...IF they can play a clean game, while avoiding additional injuries.

As the old saying goes, "When it rains, it pours." For the Miami Dolphins, that phrase could hardly be more true than it is now as just over 24 hours after losing their 4th consecutive game, the Dolphins announced that quarterback Tua Tagovailoa has once again entered the NFL's concussion protocol, casting his availability for Sunday's crucial Week 17 game against the Patriots in Foxboro in doubt. Aaron and Josh discuss what the news means for Tua, the Dolphins, and the future, both for the remainder of this season and the months and years beyond.

Then there's the matter of the Dolphins' loss to Green Bay on Christmas, which puts their season on the precipice of disaster. They still control their own destiny, but hopes for a playoff run are fading. The guys discuss what went wrong and whether there is any hope the the ship can be righted before it goes down in flames on another episode of THE SAME OLD DOLPHINS SHOW at DolphinsTalk.com!

Aaron and Josh return to preview the Dolphins' Christmas Day matchup with the Green Bay Packers. The Dolphins have been fortunate with results in other games going their way, so their path to the playoffs is relatively clear and straightforward: wins on Christmas vs. the Packers and in New England on New Year's Day mean they're in.

In light of the wiggle room they have been afforded, Josh has a question: is this still a must-win game?

The Miami Dolphins traveled to Buffalo and put in the performance every Dolphins fan wanted, but ultimately fell just short of doing enough to win. The loss means they drop to 8-6 and find themselves embattled in the race for one of three Wild Card spots. The team still controls their own destiny, but will they right the ship and seal the deal or will they do what many Dolphins team before has done and completely collapse?

On the heels of what can reasonably be described as the two most disappointing performances of the season, the Miami Dolphins end The Gauntlet with a trip to Buffalo where the forecast is calling for snow. What could have been a battle for first place in the AFC East is now a fight for the Dolphins to keep their fading divisional championship hopes alive. The Dolphins are desperate to bounce back in a big way to reinvigorate their season.. Can Tua and the offense get back on track? Can Mike McDaniel get his playcalling groove back? Can the defense do what is necessary to stop Josh Allen and a potent Buffalo Bills offense (even if it's been a bit out of sorts recently)? Aaron and Josh discuss all of this plus what the game means in the context of the Dolphins' season and their push for a playoff spot on another fun episode of THE SAME OLD DOLPHINS SHOW at DolphinsTalk.com!

The Miami Dolphins lost the second game of The Gauntlet and it looked eerily similar to the first game. In their 23-17 loss to the Chargers, the Dolphins offense looked inept and seemed to have no “Plan B” when their initial game plan was being shut down. Josh flies solo to discuss the game and where it leaves the Dolphins from a micro and macro perspective in a new episode of THE SAME OLD DOLPHINS SHOW at DolphinsTalk.com!

After a disappointing performance against the 49ers, the Dolphins find themselves in position to give themselves a 97% chance to make the playoffs according to 538 – a win over the disappointing and oft-injured Chargers would set the Dolphins up nicely for their final four games.. Can Tua break the trend of disappointing performances on the road in December and January? Will the addition of Eric Fisher provide a boost to the offensive line? How do the Dolphins match up with the Chargers? Aaron and Josh discuss it all and more on another episode of THE SAME OLD DOLPHINS SHOW at DolphinsTalk.com!

It was a brutal day at the office for the Miami Dolphins. Tua was missing receivers and when he hit them, they were dropping to ball too often. The Dolphins didn't even try to run the ball. On defense, they couldn't slow down the 49ers, who were led for most of the day by 2022 Mr. Irrelevant, Brock Purdy. On top of all of it, Tua sustained an ankle injury, which leaves his availability for next week in doubt. Just a no good, very bad day for the team. Aaron and Josh discuss is all on another episode of THE SAME OLD DOLPHINS SHOW at DolphinsTalk.com.

Josh is back from his brief hiatus to rejoin his brother from the exact same mother and preview the first game in a three game gauntlet that could very well define the Miami Dolphins' 2022 season. The Dolphins head to the west coast to take on the San Francisco 49ers – perhaps their toughest test since beating Buffalo in Week 3. Can the Dolphins get a huge statement win? How can they beat the 49ers' vaunted defense? The guys chat about this and a lot more on another fun episode of THE SAME OLD DOLPHINS SHOW at DolphinsTalk.com!

After a well-deserved bye week, the Miami Dolphins are back in action this weekend to take on the Houston Texans, now being led by Kyle Allen, who will make his first start for the team. The Dolphins largely healed up over the bye, but will be without Raheem Mostert, who is dealing with a knee injury. Will it be the Jeff Wilson, Jr show on Sunday? Can the defense have a get-right week ahead of a daunting three game stretch of road games? Aaron and Josh are back to discuss this and more on another fun episode of THE SAME OLD DOLPHINS SHOW at DolphinsTalk.com!
