These Aren't Your "Old" Dolphins

An article from Anthony DiMoro

The Miami Dolphins are in a neck-and-neck battle for an AFC Wild Card Playoff berth. Let that sink in for a minute.

The same Miami Dolphins, who, over the past few months have been embattled in a scandal that was predetermined to doom not only the front office but the coaches and personnel as well. The Dolphins, who were on pace to destroy an NFL record for most sacks given up, were going to have a much tougher time protecting Ryan Tannehill without the services of Richie Incognito and Jonathan Martin.

The same Dolphins, who according to a population of Dolphin fans, didn’t have the right man for the job in Ryan Tannehill.

The same Dolphins who were the victim of terrible moves by general manager Jeff Ireland.

The same Dolphins who were the butt of a long and painful NFL joke.

No, this isn’t the “old” Dolphins, this is the new Miami Dolphins.

Rah Rah piece for sure, but sometimes an article like this is needed for a fanbase

Wins at NY and Pit are nice, but they need to beat NE to prove they are still not the "old" Dolphins, IMO.

Until they actually get in, and win at least one playoff game: "SOD."

Actually to me, it's a classic Dolphins season to play mostly well, beat a handful of good teams, p!ss one or two games completely away (Buffalo and NE this year so far), and be on the fringe of a playoff berth.

I believe this team can win a superbowl, Tannehill is getting better and better if he can get hot in the playoff watch out.

Are you ok? Do you need too see a doctor?

Sure looked like the same old Dolphins on that last play of the game. Antonio Brown just managed to out-dolphins the Dolphins.

Unfortunately, you make a good point.

Ya, off a play that was clearly a forward pass to Brown. Gimme a break!!

Dude. Love the positivity man. But Super Bowl? Drugs are fun. We barely won yesterday, we have to beat New England this weekend. They have beat us 7 straight times, that's almost 4 straight years. Then away at the Bills, who beat us at Home. Let's get past New England, and I might be more positive, but too used to us finishing 7-9. And we have the 7. We finish 10-6, maybe I share your optimism.

This. I'm happy that we are still playing meaningful football in December but what exactly has been accomplished so far

Beat the Bills and we would have been everything the article says
Beat the Bucs and we would have been everything the article says.

Those were must wins.
