Like geez if you didn't actually watch the game then you're screwed. Because no one is showing Dolphins/jets highlights. Ever since NFL primetime gave up their rights to that crappy football night in America there's been not much that actually shows a lot o highlights from every game. All every sports outlet can talk about is the Cowboys beating Cleveland. The halftime shows only show like 5 games. The mnf halftime report was what, two highlights?

guess a 96 KR TD to win a game isn't a highlight.
 
Then I guess we have to make it to the playoffs to get some highlights!!!!

This isn't just the Dolphins getting shafted in highlights. Just in general it's the same 5 games everyone's talking about every week. Like good for Dallas for beating Cleveland. 8 other teams have done that as well.

NFL network is garbage. It's 90% NFC east talk and highlights. Have you watched their new morning show? Quite possibly the worst NFL themed show ever! I miss the good old days where NFL prime time on espn did a much better job of highlighting every game.
 
The game was a classic for jets and dolphins fans but to everyone else there isn't much appeal. It was a sloppy slugfest that was decided by special teams. Not to mention it was two teams fighting to stay out of last place in the division.

Just annoying ads lol some of their highlights are too long and show too many plays talking like 5 Mins highlight. But yeah NFL.com is the best you can get.

Not sure what you mean. They have each individual big play. They have all the highlights in one clip but each TD or long pass/run/sack/INT in its own clip.

The each individual clips come with a lot of ads and the occasional buffering issues.
 
I remember growing up in the 70's and 80's I could not even figure out the final score of the game sometimes until Tuesday.

If the Dolphins played on Monday night and I was too tired to stay up - which did happen occasionally though rarely I could not figure out the final score until the Wednesday newspaper was published and delivered - My dad would be pleasantly shocked that I would go up the driveway on a cold winter morning and get the paper.

Still the NFL was way better then though - there was no "outside the pocket" nor flags for hitting to high or too low or horse collar or celebration penalties or ticky tack defensive holding calls with automatic first downs - guys just killed each other and we loved it!

Now the players of that generation suffered terrible effects later in life including but not limited to severe brain damage and shortened life span - so I do not wish that on anyone - especially the players who brought so much joy and fame to the game - but the game was SOOO much better.

We live in a day where the internet has highlights, you can record an entire game, you can pay a fee to not only have access to all NFL games, but also condensed games as well as multiple angles. You have an entire network dedicated to the NFL and another channel dedicated to showing you basically real time highlights as they happen. You have 3 night of prime time games, the option to have access to all the games on game day and typically have at least two games that are televised locally. The internet gives you access to radio broadcasts of the games and you can even follow the play by play for free on the NFL site....and yet, people still complain.

Good ol days...yes please let me wait until Monday Night Countdown to have a chance to see that 5 minute period where they talk about the Dolphins...
 
What do you mean you didn't watch the game? Is that an option? I don't understand the question.
 
The media has a love affair with the NFC East it's disgusting. Go look up how often the NFC East is in a primetime spot especially SNF. Here's the Sunday Night Football appearance breakdown...

AFC
East - 38
North - 49
South - 41
West - 43

NFC
East - 100
North - 63
South - 32
West - 39

The difference between the NFC East appearances and the 2nd place NFC North is almost the entire AFC East total. Pathetic.
