The Same Old Dolphins Show

If you watched the Dolphins in Sunday morning's game against the Commanders, you saw two evenly matched teams struggle their way through 60 minutes of football. It wasn't so much a war of attrition as it was a struggle to see who could screw up the least. Ultimately, despite some curious play calling and decision making from Mike McDaniel, the Dolphins came out victorious in overtime. Rather that...

It's incredible what a single week featuring a surprisingly commanding victory over a top-tier opponent can do! Suddenly, a segment of the Dolphins' fan base has their heads in the clouds thinking of magical possibilities for the 2025 season. A win in Spain over the struggling Commanders may very well send the Dolphins into the bye week believing anything is possible. The truth is that the road is...

Well...we did not see that coming. The Miami Dolphins played their best game of the season and WHOOPED the Buffalo Bills 30-13 in Week 10. They offered solid performances in all three phases and were helped by Buffalo committing uncharacteristic errors. The result was satisfying for a good portion of the Dolphins' fan base, offering catharsis in a season where it's been hard to come by. Of course,...

When news broke Monday morning that the Miami Dolphins had traded Jaelan Phillips to Philadelphia for a 3rd round picks in the 2026 draft, most Dolphins fans expected at least one more trade to free up cap space and add draft capital. None materialized. Now the Dolphins find themselves in a division with the dominant Buffalo Bills, a resurgent New England Patriots team, and the NY Jets, who are lo...

FINALLY! After another embarrassing loss (this time at home and on a national broadcast), Stephen Ross finally announced on Friday that he and the Miami Dolphins were parting ways with General Manager Chris Grier. Champ Kelly was assigned the role of Intern General Manager and on Monday morning we learned he had completed a trade with the Philadelphia Eagles that sent DE Jaelan Phillips to Philade...

Well...that was unexpected. The Miami Dolphins absolutely dominated the Atlanta Falcons on Sunday, earning a decisive 34-10 victory in the process. After looking out of sorts and disinterested the previous week, the Dolphins bounced back in a big way. While it was a very strong performance, how much of it was down to the Dolphins making adjustments and how much of it was due to the Atlanta Falcons...

It's been another banner week in Miami Dolphins Land! Darren Waller headed to IR, Tua Tagovailoa admitted he struggles to see over his offensive linemen, and Mike McDaniel is still, well, Mike McDaniel. This week, the Dolphins head north to Atlanta to battle the Falcons. Can Miami slow down the dynamic Bijan Robinson? Will Michael Penix find Darnell Mooney and Drake London over and over again? Wha...

***WARNING: Profanity*** After another dismal showing by the Miami Dolphins in Cleveland on Sunday, it has never been clearer that the time for change for the team is RIGHT NOW. Unfortunately, owner Stephen Ross continues to be loyal to a fault, refusing to move on from his recently extended head coach without giving him "a fair amount of time to turn this around." Will any changes be made? If so,...

Cleveland is often referred to as the "mistake by the lake." This Sunday's game in Cleveland between the Dolphins and the Browns might very well be called the same thing as both teams enter the game with matching 1-5 records. For the Dolphins, the week leading up to the game has been particularly noisy. Tua's comments to the press following Sunday's loss caused a significant uproar, but trade rumo...

Another day, another Dolphins loss. And, once again, we saw familiar themes. A struggling defense, a disjointed offense, a failure to adjust, and a team incapable of closing the deal. There is plenty of culpability to go around: your WR1 can't consistently catch the ball cleanly, the defense is absolute trash against the run, the offensive line struggles to execute, the "franchise" QB misses open...

SODS - 380 - Chargers at Dolphins Preview by The Same Old Dolphins Show

The Miami Dolphins got out to a 17-0 lead on Sunday and fans were feeling as good as they could have possibly felt about their football team. And then, Carolina adjusted. As has happened many times before, the Dolphins failed to counter and were manhandled on the line of scrimmage on both offense and defense. When they thought they had done enough to escape Charlotte with a victory, the Panthers k...

After losing Tyreek Hill for the season en route to a 27-21 victory over the NY Jets on Monday night, the Dolphins travel to North Carolina on a short week to take on a Carolina Panthers team in search of its identity. In their only home game of the season, the Panthers shut out the Atlanta Falcons, but they have looked lackluster in their other three games. Do the Dolphins serve as another "get r...

Aaron and Josh are back with a quick-hit Same Old Dolphins Show with the immediate reactions to the Dolphins' 27-21 WIN over the New York Jets on Monday night. They discuss how the win is a good thing, but how the lessons that we can learn from the game are minimal in the grand scheme of things considering just how hapless the Jets were from an operational standpoint. Of course, the debut of Darre...

SODS - 376 - FTJ by The Same Old Dolphins Show

After an overall improved performance at Buffalo, the Dolphins still find themselves in a deep hole at 0-3. Tua Tagovailoa appears to be both physically diminished and regressing as a player. Mike McDaniel seems to be walking on thin ice. The situation is grim. With that as the background, Aaron and Josh are opening up the mailbag for today's episode of THE SAME OLD DOLPHINS SHOW at DolphinsTalk.c...

The Miami Dolphins suffered another loss in Week 2, this time at home to the Patriots. While the offense showed some signs of bouncing back and the defense actually made a couple of stops, the same communication, playcalling, and coaching issues doomed the Dolphins' attempt to salvage the game late. Four years into his tenure as head coach of the Miami Dolphins, Mike McDaniel's signature shortcomi...

With Josh out of town, Aaron the Brain is joined by a special guest to look ahead to the Dolphins' Week 2 matchup with the New England Patriots. Can the Dolphins bounce back from their hideous display in Indianapolis in Week 1? Has Tua regressed or was Week 1 an aberration? Is Mike McDaniel cooked? Aaron and David discuss on another episode of THE SAME OLD DOLPHINS SHOW at DolphinsTalk.com!

For months and months, despite counter-narrative attempts by the organization, objective observers have stately plainly that the Dolphins' 2025 offseason was proceeding in such a way that a road to a disastrous season was becoming clearer. In fact, it felt like it was among the most likely possibilities. After the Dolphins were dismantled, destroyed, and embarrassed by the Indianapolis Colts in We...

Football Christmas is upon us! A day when hope (mostly) springs eternal and football fans across the country revel in the (mostly) limitless possibilities that exist for the teams they cheer for and the fake teams they manage on the internet. Aaron and Josh are back to kickoff another Miami Dolphins' season with their Week 1 Dolphins-Colts preview! They look at both sides of the ball and each give...

It's here! Week 1 of the 2025 NFL season is now officially upon us. With the offseason now in the rearview, we are looking ahead to what the 2025 season may hold for the Miami Dolphins and on today's show, we're looking at the best case scenarios only. –WHAT IF Tua stays healthy all season? –WHAT IF Tyreek Hill returns to his 2023 form? –WHAT IF the offensive line take a big step forward? –WHAT IF...

With the final preseason game out of the way, the Miami Dolphins began the cutdown to their initial 53-man roster on Monday. While many of the cuts that happened were players you would have expected the Dolphins to part ways with, Mike Hilton and, to a lesser extent Pharaoh Brown's releases were surprises. Can we read anything into these cuts? Who else should we expect to be released? We also rece...

We're nearly there, folks! On Saturday, the Miami Dolphins will play their 2025 preseason finale at home against the Jacksonville Jaguars. After that, the team will cut the roster down to its initial 53 players and begin prepping for the regular season. Of course, the end of the preseason this year is bringing some injury concerns as well as Jaylen Wright and Jordyn Brooks suffered injuries at Thu...

After a week where the Miami Dolphins were reportedly trounced in a joint practice by the Detroit Lions only to bounce back the next day, fans are suffering a bit of whiplash. Or, perhaps, they're just ready to see some real competitive football with their own eyes. Or maybe the Dolphins are actually kinda bad. Or maybe the Dolphins were just working things out in practice. Or maybe the the Detroi...
