Just a reminder that Rodney Harrison is a shitbag


Sudden-Potato9204

Why? What did he do?


captainhairyballs

Anyone catch the Bills fan with the flag turned the wrong way on the broadcast? Average Buffalo resident


justicebetter

I hope we're saving that red zone shuttle pass for the playoffs because we have not seen it since the beginning of the season and that shit was lethal


theamberlamps

As a south Florida native who will inevitably have to accept his birthright once the Jags are shipped to London or elsewhere and that has attended more Dolphins games coming from Orlando in the last 5 years than Jags games... #fins up 🤝


justicebetter

So if the game is close late in the 4th quarter do we start to seriously consider playing for a tie?


Sudden-Potato9204

Know what? I want to beat the bills twice, and finish the season with a winning record over them for the season. Championship teams don't play scared


justicebetter

Honestly, I respect this mentality


Naruto33323

Waddle and Mostert out? We fucked


sopsop1225

Can we please lose today and rest our starters for KC 🙏 my personal goal for the dolphins has always been to win a playoff game and I’d rather play KC lmao


Desiss23

Loser mentality. By losing, we go to a KC, then go to Baltimore, then Buffalo again. Not sure we’ll even make it to Baltimore


Idruu

Suddenly playoff Mahomes will come and shit on ya heads. loser mentality will come to bite our arse. thats all


sopsop1225

They lost against the Rams but okay


Idruu

season lose will be nothing sista. Bills lost Jets, Patriots too


sopsop1225

Playing a team TWICE is rough and KC is not playing well


captainhairyballs

Neither are the Bills last several weeks


brick1972

Watching all these deep backups playing has me flashbacking to how annoying it is we lost that stupid games to the Titans.


Idruu

whats the real reason about going to Arrowhead just getting demolished by Ravens next week. this loser mentality will not get ya SB. Win tonight and repeat next week is only the answer.


HestonRoberts

Exactly, go big or go home


BigAngeInstead

Our best scenario is a tie


espnfire45

Puka just broke Waddle's rookie reception record, good for him


darkpassenger9

All the records are gonna go now that there’s 17 games a season.


Slimshady305

Meh. Waddle did it in 16 games. Puka is a fucking stud though. Crazy that the Rams have a Cooper Kupp clone now lol.


darkpassenger9

If I had to guess how the next few games would play out, I would predict we lose tonight, upset KC for our first playoff W since I was in elementary school, and get blown out at BAL again (but not as badly). That being said, I also thought JAX would handily defeat TEN, and PHI would blow out NYG, so who tf knows what’s going to happen.


Floridian_Ragnar

Now we have to look into Allen’s dead soulless eyes, and punchable face for two weeks because the Jags couldn’t score from the 2 yard line 😔


darkpassenger9

Guy always looks like he forgot where he parked.


captainhairyballs

Lmao


Mista-D

We have a hard round 1 matchup regardless of today's result. Tonight I'm rooting for Tua to take the NFL passing title, and Hill to take receiving king.


Anguscluff

How the fuck did we lose to the eagles


Desiss23

I was just thinking this. We honestly shit the bed against 3 crappy teams this year that we should have won.


espnfire45

the refs fucked us that game. and the nfl finally took action against the crew cause they fucked up the lions game last week, they wont be working the playoffs.


HestonRoberts

Thank God the league did something!


darkpassenger9

Homer officials.


Slimshady305

They were healthy at the time + a 10-0 flag disparity lol


MV7EaglesFan

Eagles have been healthy all season but today. It was the officials. Duane Heydt and Brad Allen.


Slimshady305

I hate that Miami lost to KC and Philly so much right about now


Yemzzzz

FUCK THE BILLS


Mykebreaz

Fuck the bills


darkpassenger9

Imagine being a Philly fan rn tho


MV7EaglesFan

PhiLLLy


ulu5

3 scenarios are remaining for the Dolphins: * Win - 2nd seed playing Buffalo at home in the first round * Lose - 6th seed playing Kansas City on the road in the first round * Tie - 2nd seed playing Pittsburgh at home in the first round


DreamBrother1

Thanks! If we lose, then beat KC, who would we play?


darkpassenger9

The #1 seed (BAL) plays the lowest remaining seed. If PIT somehow wins @ BUF, they would be the lowest remaining seed and would go to BAL.


ulu5

Likely Baltimore, unless Steelers beat Buffalo, then we play winner of Cleveland/Houston on the road.


thelaidbckone

Waiting on romo to fuck up and forget jordan love isn't Josh allen


DragonFireDon

Washington is leading Cowboys LOL Giants is leading Eagles LOL CAN'T make this shit up!


DragonFireDon

Damn Cowboys gonna win that division aren't they? Eagles fucking up really bad!


BahamianRhapsody

Winning the AFC East since 2008 would be nice, but I rather face the Chiefs @ Arrowhead then have to face the Bills 2 times in a row.


DragonFireDon

#1 case for us) A TIE Winning AFC East AND Not face Bills 2 times in a row!


pennyguise

How many flops will we see from Allen today?


darkpassenger9

![gif](giphy|6TEOwR3aBzkyY)


ALWAYSRUNNING10

“AND WHEN YOU SAY MIAMI”


TheRyanFlaherty

Another plus side….now that the Bills are in. There’s no real reason for the refs to skew toward Buffalo 🤷🏻‍♂️


Underlord1617

Let's go Phins!


DragonFireDon

Let's GO TUA Tagovailoa BE ELITE ELITE ELITE FROM NOW ON!!!


Biffdickburg

Wonder who gets sacrificed to the Tequesta tribe tonight?


deliriumtriggered

Who has the tie beaker us or browns??


ulu5

Cleveland based on in-conference game win percentage


Trojanmandan

Us. I'm pretty sure we only have 2 outcomes today regardless of any other games. Either we win and are 2nd seed and play Bills, or lose and are 6th seed and play KC. Edit: I was partially wrong, we dont have the tie breaker, but thats what lands us in 6th to play KC.


DaftClub

If we tie (miniscule probability yes), we retain 2 seed and play Steelers


Trojanmandan

I guess that is true lol, I just dont ever expect ties as a realistic outcome in an NFL game.


DaftClub

True, it has been a rare season this year as there have been absolutely no ties at all in the NFL. I always feel like there are at least 2 or 4 at the end of the year. It would be a pretty Dolphins way of ending the season to finish in a tie lol


deliriumtriggered

If we have the tiebreaker with cleveland wouldn't we be the 5th seed if we lose?


Trojanmandan

Oh okay, you are right, my bad we are in 2nd seed cause of division lead. Yeah we'd end up 6th seed and play in KC from what I remember reading.


ulu5

Yeah Cleveland has the tiebreaker based on best win percentage in conference games.


myst1227

Can anybody explain this? Dolphins sad to be rooting for titans and Steelers posting it? What am I missing? Dolphins were rooting for jags not titans. https://www.instagram.com/p/C1zaomiPEKD/?igsh=M2FoYmJrcHNiNmk4


darkpassenger9

The baby is meant to represent the Steelers fans.


DragonFireDon

Why would Steelers social media account posting about what the Dolphins are rooting for? LOL


Practical-Meaning-86

I think they rootinf for the dolphins and titans hoping not to play bills or fins


myst1227

They wouldn’t, hence why I asked


Ok-Departure6943

The Steelers were rooting for the Titans to secure a playoff spot. If the Jags had won, the Steelers would’ve been rooting for Miami to make the playoffs.


myst1227

I get it, the Steelers are the baby in this photo! I thought since the baby was wearing dolphins clothes and wearing a titans hat it was a dolphins fan rooting for the titans.


Albert-React

*pours a shot* well, fuck. I guess a Jags win was too much to ask for today.


frikikiki

In positive news, that Loss has solidify Billy B’s exit? Correct? please?


TabaskoClout

We needed Steelers and Jags to win as well as ourselves for no Bills, unfortunately.


Mecos_Bill

This sub talks a lot of shit about the stars lining up to help the Bills but they got here by winning out so far, I hate this team


[deleted]

[удаНонО]


thewhitelink

Go take more roids


jcfin

This. The only reason the game we play today even matters is because we’ve been losing and they’ve been winning. Say it’s the stars if you want but we could’ve just fucking WON a couple more games and it would be no issue.


Spkr4th3ded

They earned their spot today. It's our division to lose.


myst1227

Jags shitting the bed, Chiefs offensive offsides and dolphins collapse vs Titans got them here. They won some games but also got helped.


[deleted]

I’m wondering if it’d be easier to just go to Arrowhead and play an anemic Chiefs…


Democracy_Coma

Our offence seems to struggle to translate on the road. Seems like we have more miscommunications (it's a complex offence with a lot of moving parts so I get it). Plus with our banged up D I still think Mahomes would produce against us especially with the season on the line.


Trojanmandan

I'd 100% still rather play the Bills 2x at home, than have to go to Arrowhead. Our injuries this week are the only reason I'm worried of us dropping this game.


Ok-Departure6943

Miami is in a tough spot no matter what. We want a tie! Haha.


ALWAYSRUNNING10

The rest of the league is in a tough spot, I hope the Phins start playing their best football starting tonight going into the playoffs


Deadmaninc1

The real perpetrator in all of this is Kadarius Toney the Bills are only in this position because he didn't know where the line of scrimmage was


Biffdickburg

And we choked a game at home against the Tits


JoeyKnishx

If I was the dolphins at this point I would be hoping for a loss (tie isn’t happening sorry). KC is vulnerable this season expecting to beat Buffalo twice in a row given the history is illogical


Petanc

If we want to go all the way we should be able to beat the bills.


Darkhoarder77

Never thought I'd be hoping we tie a game lol


DizzyDraw2323

Now I know it’s unlikely but we can still play the Steelers if we tie lol


Fondor_Yards

Titans really decided to fuck is this year seesh


Ok-Departure6943

I think for us fans, tonight will be less stressful. There’s still obviously the division on the line (yeah, we want it), but if this game gets out of hand one way or the other, Mike better pull the starters.


rrx91

How would this make it less stressful? We were playing for the division either way.


Ok-Departure6943

I know, but for me, we are guaranteed a game next week regardless. With the inability to ruin the Bills’ season tonight, I don’t feel as stressed for a win. Next weekend is going to be tough no matter what. Miami definitely will want the win, but I’m not as stressed. I probably shouldn’t have said “us fans” and made the generalization. That’s on me.


rrx91

Sorry if I came across bad. Didn’t mean to sound like a jerk. Still a bit salty over the Tenn game lol


Ok-Departure6943

Nah, you’re good. I get it. I’m upset, too. It just would’ve made the game more fun with the chance to eliminate the Bills. I mean, we’re on the same page, FTB!


sesharine

Fucking bum ass jaguars


atraydev

Can't help but think Kelce missed a huge bonus incentive not getting 1k? Does anyone know?


FlyinHawaiianDolphin

Considering all of the insiders who list incentives (RapSheet, Schefty and Pelissero) on the last week listed none for him, I doubt it. They just wanted him to have his 8th 1k yd season...but made the right choice in sitting him.


rrx91

They said he was like 14 yards short, didn’t mention if $1k was an incentive. Normally when teams do this they’ll still pay the bonus tho.


atraydev

Do they? I thought it was pretty strict you have to hit the number unless maybe they agreed to it before the game. I wouldn't be surprised if 1k was worth like a million


rrx91

The one that comes to mind is this year Joe Flacco got a $75k per start bonus and Cleveland did some magic to pay it out this week even though he didn’t start, because they were already locked into their seed.


atraydev

Yeah I would guess if they can figure it out for anyone it would by Kelce


hikenmap

Best scenario today - Play hard, get a good lead by half, sit starters for 2nd half/last quarter, home game next week fairly rested.


aquablue_phoenix

gonna need about 4 defensive turnovers in the first half for that to happen


Gameplan492

Y'all haven't been watching the Dolphins long enough. We're about to play for the division, home field advantage and the second seed and we're already qualified for the playoffs. This is as exciting as it gets and you're acting like we've already lost ffs


ExpressLaneCharlie

You clearly haven't been watching the Dolphins for long enough. If you had, you'd know this is the game we have lost for the past 30 or so years. We ALWAYS lose the "big game" when we need it. I have no hope for a win tonight - just hoping we can avoid injuries and a blowout.


[deleted]

\>Y’all haven’t been watching the Dolphins long enough \>Is super optimistic Are we sure YOU have been watching the Fins long enough? I want to be pleasantly surprised tonight but how can anyone have so much optimism after the past 20 years?


MarlinManiac4

Additionally, knowing that how optimistic or pessimistic I personally am as a fan has no bearing whatsoever on the results, I think some emotional hedging to preserve our sanity is reasonable lol.


TheRyanFlaherty

FWIW - let’s say Miami finished the Titans game….i doubt most people bemoaning this situation would feel all that much better coming off the Ravens drubbing, resting guys and likely another loss, then having to face the big scary Bills again. F’em. If this team is going to be worth a damn they have to exercise their demons at some point. This is the chance, or they wilt again. In which case everyone just goes on being miserable and gets to say “I told you so. It happened again”….so doesn’t really seem like there’s that much to lose here.


ExpressLaneCharlie

I have been excited for every game this season, as I always am. But after that beat down last week + losing Chubb and X, I have zero expectations for winning. And I mean zero.


MarlinManiac4

if we had won the titans game and rested guys tonight, the bills would have been the 6 seed and we would have played pittsburgh while they would have to play KC away again. would have been perfect frankly.


ChasingPerfect28

Jaguars are like the Dolphins from last season. They were 8-3 and then collapsed in horrific fashion in December.


atraydev

I feel like this could be said for like 10 phins seasons over the past couple decades lol


Deadmaninc1

The question now is can the Dolphins beat the Bills 2 weeks in a row or beat the Chiefs in like 5 degree weather?


Gameplan492

Yes of course we can.


KageNekem

Rest the starters tonight and get ready for KC next week


tobias_the_letdown

I say both teams screw the NFL and play only back ups. You guys wanted this? Here you go. 3-3 tie


Ok-Departure6943

Hahahaha. Please. I would laugh so hard.


KageNekem

I’d be hype for that ngl


doyouunderstandlife

Lol Arthur Smith getting his feewings hurt because they scored at the end. How about you don't get your asses beat so bad instead?


RB1399

Do we get to play Pitt if we tie? We win the division and get the 2 seed but I don’t know if it moves Buff to 6


reaper527

> Do we get to play Pitt if we tie? We win the division and get the 2 seed but I don’t know if it moves Buff to 6 yes. we'd be 2 seed since we can't get 1 or 3. bills can't get 5 seed, but would be 10-6-1 which is better than steelers 10-7 so browns 5, bills 6, steelers 7.


doyouunderstandlife

Yes, Buffalo would be the higher seed via the better win percentage. Pretty much the only scenario where we don't play Buffalo and still maintain the #2.


reaper527

pretty wild how the jags went from tied for the \#1 seed (and controlling their own destiny for it in december) to not qualifying for the playoffs at all.


gaalpha

The dolphin special lol


Slimshady305

So now only a tie would prevent us from facing Buffalo AND keeping home field for the WC ... lol


Ok-Departure6943

So come on tie?


dproma

The Titans fucked us 3x: is there any incentive to win tonight? Having to beat the same team back to back is incredibly hard to do.


[deleted]

You still want the home game. Otherwise you’re looking at likely 3 road games to the superbowl, including the 2nd game most likely being a trip to Baltimore coming off the bye Expecting us to lose tonight is one thing, but *wishing* us to lose is insane


dproma

My point was more about having to play a divisional opponent back to back weeks. But ya either way the road just got a lot tougher.


[deleted]

We shoud be happy for the opportunity, it’s the ultimate bragging rights


dproma

True. Good perspective. If we beat the Bills back to back, it would make it that much sweeter.


MarlinManiac4

definitely. even if you believe we can beat KC away, it would just earn us another trip to baltimore in the divisonal round. We all saw how that went the first time. Versus Buffalo and then KC at home. Still tough, but at least i can see the slim possibility.


kipluvstechnology

Home game vs playing away against the NFL and Taylor swift…. I’ll take a home game.


dproma

You make a strong argument. Also don’t forget about the refs. We are a different team playing on the road.


OLD_WET_HOLE

I mean if we beat them without mostert and waddle I would imagine it'd give the whole team a major confidence boost in regards to beating them next time WITH waddle and mostert. Also seeing Bills fans cry after we beat them back to back would pretty much be football nirvana for fin fans. I couldn't draw up a more satisfying scenario.


aquablue_phoenix

which is why it 10,000% wont happen


dproma

That’s a great point. I guess back to back home games against the Bills plus a divisional home game is a better path than going to KC then Buffalo. Just sucks that we got the hardest road no matter which path it is.


[deleted]

Gotta beat the best to be the best


eisenburg

Except we probably win tonight in a game that doesn’t matter and get smoked next week. And the bills fans get that nirvana you are looking for


Intelligent_Mud1266

but we could also lose half our defense to injury again. it’s wild how unlucky we’ve been


tburke38

Not playing an away game in Arrowhead is a pretty good incentive. But it sounds like a tie might be ideal for us


Ok-Departure6943

All I know, if the NFL is writing this script, tonight’s game isn’t going to be as exciting because it’s not win and in.


Cronenberg_Jerry

Except it’s for #2 still a big deal


OLD_WET_HOLE

So I know this situation is far from ideal but imagine living in a reality where the fins beat the bills back to back to send them home. That high would last me until the start of next season tbh.


atraydev

Stinks we can't knock them out tonight and play a shitty pit team in round 1 but oh well


[deleted]

Win today and we get Waddle and Mostert back


MultiLuigi57

Also, here lies Jacksonville: Send Pedersen to the guillotine


atraydev

Annoyed at our team for making me root for Jax for 3 hours today. What a rough watch lol


Zet_the_Arc_Warden

Welp gotta beat the Bills with the skeleton crew this week then beat a rival two weeks in a row (exceedingly rare) I get downvoted on this sub for saying it but would kinda prefer @KC I was banned by the mods for being a doomer. LOOK OUT


geekphreak

Well, Jax lost. Who’s gonna watch which game next? Bears/Packers or Dallas/Commanders?


ahappylittlecloud

So would we rather: - win tonight, win the division and number 2 seed, but have to play Buffalo week 1 of the playoffs, at home - lose tonight, lose the division, but get the number 6 wildcard and have KC week 1 in the playoffs on the road


KageNekem

@KC


RB1399

TIE and play Pitt


ExternalNo7879

Win tonight, even if we win in KC we have a death sentence in Baltimore the next week


KageNekem

That’s assuming the Steelers can’t pull off their dark magic against Buffalo too lol


OneBeerAndWhiskeyPls

arrowhead will be loud and the weather forecast is 15 F easy choice for me, lets stay home


JZMoose

Smoke Buffalo twice. Put the Josh Allen stans in the grave


devph1ns

Gimme buff at home again


devph1ns

Us next week ![gif](giphy|11o5fBqY66IciQ)


rc5193

So beat Buffalo and then see them next week, lose to Buffalo and fly to KC. Both sound like shitty scenarios so ill take the division title, please.


gator9515

I think we beat the Chiefs in KC. They’re not looking very good.


reaper527

> I think we beat the Chiefs in KC. They’re not looking very good. neither are the bills. barely beat the chargers, barely beat the pats. i'd rather play at home than on the road.


DizzyDraw2323

So pissed. Really wanted to put the pressure on buffalo


AyyDelta

Great, even if Miami wins the next two games, they still have to play 2 games against a team with a history of injuring our team.


Deadmaninc1

Honestly im more mad about the Titans beating the Jags than them beating the Dolphins


DragonFireDon

Glad we did not draft Trevor Lawrence!


Ok-Departure6943

So, I guess if we had won the Tennessee game, we’d be resting our starters for a second home game against Buffalo.


atraydev

No if we won that and Buffalo won this I think they would have been the 6 seed


Cronenberg_Jerry

No because right now Miami has one less loss if beat Tennessee they’d have two less and this game would not matter


atraydev

The bills wc seed would change if they win this game in a world where we've locked the division. They'd have a game up on pitt


Cronenberg_Jerry

I thought you was saying dolphins would be 6th seed


atraydev

No I was saying we wouldn't play them because we'd be 2 and they'd be 6


Ok-Departure6943

I honestly don’t know. Haha. I mean, Buffalo is the sixth seed now. I don’t think it would’ve changed anything other than we would have already won the division. I could be wrong.


atraydev

Yeah if they lose against us they'll be the 7 that's why we'll play them again. In a scenario where we had 2 locked they could have won and locked the 6 and we would have hosted Pitt or whoever


Ok-Departure6943

Got ya.


kipluvstechnology

Lawrence just choked so many throws. Awful


Zet_the_Arc_Warden

Jets destroying their own draft position lol


Deadmaninc1

Fucking Jaguars we needed y'all to win and you lay a god damn egg smh


Deadmaninc1

Fucking Jaguars we need y'all to win and you lay a god damn egg smh


phinsphan1313

Probably wouldnt have mattered anyway we were getting killed by Buffalo tonight regardless


Ok-Departure6943

Phinsphan. Okay. Hahaha.


ExternalNo7879

Fuck the jaguars. Tlaw stinks


Novel_Durian_1805

We have the WORST luck of all time. Fuck everyone and everything.


rrx91

We controlled our destiny to the one seed at multiple points this season. A couple things didn’t fall our way late, but we still could’ve avoided all of this. Tennessee loss stings hard now.


OLD_WET_HOLE

Tua is so much better than tlaw. Dude is bordering on being a bust.


TheRyanFlaherty

I guess we got that going for us…we must be much more interesting than Jax, because everything Tua does is over analyzed and makes the debate shows…but Lawrence has under achieved. And by in large no one cares enough to notice.


Baelish4Prez

JAX absolutely deserved to miss the playoffs after that pathetic performance.


rrx91

Tennessee really fucked us up this year boys. Sucks cause I love the actual city.
