If the Miami Miracle was the Dolphins' high-water point of the season, the last two weeks have been a waterfall -- or a massive drain. Miami has fallen flat in two straight weeks, first getting blown out by the Vikings in Minneapolis, and then failing to muster anything more than seven points against a very beatable Jaguars team. How beatable are the Jags? Jacksonville found itself in the red zone on a possession Sunday and ended up punting three downs later, on fourth and 46. Those kinds of errors are excellent in their rarity, yet Miami didn't take advantage of any of them. And worst of all, when tied 7-7 midway through the fourth, the Dolphins collectively crumbled, capped by Telvin Smith's pick-six of Ryan Tannehill, which followed Jacksonville's go-ahead field goal. The Dolphins lost to a Jaguars team so befuddled offensively, it turned to Blake Bortles when it became clear a banged-up Cody Kesslercouldn't lead them to a win. 2. It will be interesting to see how these last two weeks affect Adam Gase's future as head coach of the Dolphins. His tenure has been filled with tumult, but also promise. They had the look of a team that might have been capable of a playoff appearance, but fell short. On one hand, you have a coach who managed to keep his team competitive despite losing his starting quarterback and being forced to replace him with Brock Osweiler. But the other hand includes these last two games, which have been awful displays from a team in playoff contention. He and GM Mike Tannenbaum will be the focus of discussions entering January. 3. This is the Jaguars defense we expected to see for most of the season. Fresh off a 16-13 loss to a Josh Johnson-led Washington team, the Jaguars stood tall and did much of what led them to an AFC South crown last year: They pressured the quarterback (six sacks as a team), kept the opponent out of the red zone (one trip) and completed the trifecta with the ever-important defensive score. We're teetering on the Jaguars potentially blowing it up after this season, but this could be a win that prevents them from doing so, instead addressing their offense while keeping most of the defense -- which can still do its job, as evidenced Sunday (and twice against the Colts) -- intact. -- Nick Shook Week 17 Game Day at New Era Field Buffalo Bills 2018 Stadium Guide SCHEDULE 8:00 a.m. Abbott Road closes 9:00 a.m. Parking lots open 11:30 a.m. Stadium gates open (Easy entry - avoid lines) 11:45 a.m. Player warm-ups 12:45 p.m. Stampede performance 12:50 p.m. Team introductions 1:00 p.m. Kickoff DETAILS Don’t miss kickoff or the pregame action!

Beast Posted December 24, 2018 Posted December 24, 2018 The Dolphins had quite a bit of luck at the end of 2 games otherwise they’d be on a 6 game losing streak. Gase will be canned a week from now.
machine gun kelly Posted December 24, 2018 Posted December 24, 2018 I’m too pissed to think about next week. I’m sure you will get more from our friends on this board. I actually believed we had a chance today. 1
BuffaloBaumer Posted December 24, 2018 Posted December 24, 2018 Please lose this game and then get on with it. No sense beating another crappy team for nothing... 1
Warcodered Posted December 24, 2018 Posted December 24, 2018 I really hope they're pissed off after this game and go out on a high note against Miami. 1
SoCal Deek Posted December 24, 2018 Posted December 24, 2018 Wait! There’s more of this? Good God...just end this season already. 1

26CornerBlitz Posted December 24, 2018 Author Posted December 24, 2018 NFL Week 16 Grades: Dolphins get an 'F' Dolphins: F Someone must have forgotten to tell the Dolphins' offense that Miami's season was on the line, because they choked big time against Jacksonville. After scoring a touchdown on their opening drive, the Dolphins offense didn't do anything for the rest of the game. As a matter of fact, here's how their final nine possessions went: Punt, punt, missed field goal, punt, lost fumble, punt, punt interception, punt. The interception was especially ugly because it was an ugly pick-six thrown by Tannehill in the fourth quarter that iced the win for Jacksonville. With 183 yards, the Dolphins were held to under 200 yards of offense for the third time in four games. The Dolphins lost despite an impressive performance from a Miami defense that racked up six sacks and held Jacksonville's offense to just 10 points.

26CornerBlitz Posted December 24, 2018 Author Posted December 24, 2018 Cameron Wolfe ESPN Staff Writer Ryan Tannehill will start Sunday for Dolphins, not planning to sit starters. Adam Gase cites injuries as a key role in missing playoffs, and he said he doesn't need to lobby to keep his job. He said if Stephen Ross wants to make a change, he'll let him know. Dark Clouds Lurk Over the Dolphins as 2018 Season Winds Down The Dolphins' home finale was embarrassing on many fronts, and the next couple of weeks could be the start of an overhaul in Miami.
NewEra Posted December 24, 2018 Posted December 24, 2018 Sigh. Last game of the year and we have to listen to Beth friggin Mowins. Ehhhhhhhhhh 4
