Great start. Let’s lay it on thick and embarrass these monsters.

X has more catches than Will Fuller this year.  :o ::)

Have to say it again... how good do those throwback uniforms look?  ;D

It’s NE so I don’t care, but that was a terrible unsportsmanlike conduct call to keep that drive going.

I know right? I’m surprised the game is on in my region. I wish they would just go back to those full time.

Unfortunately it's not on here, I was just grabbing some web highlights before I leave for work (which is right now).

No Dolphins games broadcast in Australia this year - not even one. Channel 7 and the NFL will be high in my Shame of the Year nominations...  >:(

Lame.

Gotta respond with a TD.

3 and out thanks to o-line as usual

offensive play calling is getting progressively worse. They're already in "run the clock out" mode half way through the 2nd quarter.

Mind-boggling.

They have to find a better OC if there is any chance this can still work.

Stupid ass play call to end the half. Should have been a designed roll out so Tua had the option to throw it away or run out of bounds.

I’d like to see a Dolphins QB that can drop some bombs.

Me too. I hope Miami will address RB’s but with a better line Duke and Lindsay could be good.

Good heads up on the fumble recovery.

Get a TD and ice this game, please.

I hate you so much Bill Bellichick.

Classic Dolphins FG part 2, but it should be enough tonight

Just can’t ever put it away

Critical third down, and Tua misses. Not very encouraging.

Unbelievable, are we gonna find a way to lose?

Typical Dolphins. Wouldn’t be surprised at all if we blow it.

That should do it. Well done Tua.

Wish he did a bit more of running like that earlier in the year. Might have changed the outcome of a game or 2

Great ending.

Well, it’s a win. Hard to feel great about it and it’s a disappointing season, but it feels good to sweep the pats. I think it says something we even finished with a winning record considering how we started.

I don’t know if we can do better than 9-10 wins with Flores/Tua but there is still some reason for hope.

It's definitely nice to sweep the Pats, but very few of our wins were showing us to be dominant contenders. I know we should've made the playoffs, but we weren't exactly powerhouses even if we did.

We only need an overhaul of coaching, not on the field. I really think we have some good talent that is being screwed over by Flores and his shitty coaching staff. I said this a million times, but Solomon went from a good starter to not being allowed on the field. Jackson went from a rookie with promise to the worst Tackle in the league. That just doesn't happen and I have yet to even hear an explanation for what happened with Solomon, how was he unable to crack the worst line in the league?

-Real Coach
-Real OC
-Real O-Line Coach
-Legit WR to pair with Waddle
-Sign the top O-Line guy in free agency
-Get a RB or resign Duke

Hiring a new coach gets you the 2nd and 3rd ones, leaving just the bottom 3. I think that's worth 2 more wins as long as Tua matures more in the offseason. I don't think we will be Superbowl contenders but the Bills just won the division with 11 wins, they aren't unstoppable.

It sure is.   Last time it happened was 2000.   That's over 20 years ago.

I agree with you.

If it were up to me I’d fire Flores tomorrow and find a coach that can tap Tua’s potential ( or be prepared to find a replacement if he truly doesn’t have it ). I don’t think Flores can do that so it’s at best 8-10 wins next year.

More likely though is we start 1-4, fire Flores and scrape together a few meaningless wins that just messes up draft position.
