The Dolphins may be out of playoff contention as they look to their season finale against the Buffalo Bills on Sunday, but it will be business as usual for Head Coach Adam Gase.

That means the Dolphins will be playing to win and going with their regular lineup, a change from last season when Gase decided to use backup quarterback David Fales for most of the finale.

Gase didn’t hesitate Monday in saying that Ryan Tannehill would start at quarterback against Buffalo.

“I’m not looking ahead to anything right now,” Gase said. “I’m looking at Buffalo. That’s the way the league is. I can’t worry about next season, offseason, all that type of stuff. We need to finish this season out the right way, which is we’ve got to go on a road trip, go play a team that knows us well, that we know well, and it’s going to be a tough game because they’re going to want to play well in their last home game and we have to be prepared. We’ve got three days to get ready and we’ve got to go to work.”

X factor: Cornerback Xavien Howard missed his third consecutive game Sunday because of the knee injury he sustained in the first game against Buffalo back on Dec. 2, but in keeping with the idea of trying to win the season finale, Gase said Howard will play next Sunday if he’s ready to go. Howard practiced on a limited basis all last week, and Gase said the team felt more optimistic about his ability to play against Jacksonville during the week than on Saturday or Sunday.

Wow can’t believe Gase would use Howard in a meaningless game. Howard should be done for this season.

Oh definitely not worried about that. I’m more concerned that one of our players get hurt due to Gase trying to save his job.

Never in the history of sports does a player or coach go into a game hoping or playing to loss to satisfy a few surly fans.

I’m glad that you posted here. Now I know that you are a poster that can’t be taken seriously.

You're right about that. Especially when their job might be on the line.

I still hope they flop, though. Better draft pick and less chance Gase gets another season. Win-win.
