It's a Festivus celebration! The Miami Dolphins defeated the San Francisco 49ers 29-17, keeping their very faint playoff hopes alive for at least another seven days. It was one of the most complete wins of the season for the Dolphins, with the offense, defense, and special teams each contributing.But does a home victory over a mediocre 49ers actual…

Alex and Scott connect virtually to record an episode late in the week. Because some time has passed since the Texans loss, they don’t spend a lot of time talking about the game, but don’t leave out the obvious flaws that caused it, and take a few moments to appreciate the players who excelled. They discuss the upcoming 49ers game, and make their p…

You better watch out, you better not cry, you better not pout, I'm tellin' you why...Because there are still three Miami Dolphins football games left and we might as well enjoy them now before they're gone!Kyle Shanahan, Brock Purdy, and the San Francisco 49ers are coming to town for a game that doesn't mean nearly as much as we might have thought …

In a development that should shock absolutely nobody, the Miami Dolphins FAILED to win a road game in December against a playoff-bound opponent. And the blame can be pointed at all the usual suspects.Their $230M franchise quarterback saved arguably his worst performance of the season for one of the biggest games. The WR1 whom the Dolphins traded pr…

Alex and Scott connect virtually to record this episode on a Wednesday. The OT win over the Jets was a stresser and the Dolphins D could do little against a QB that hasn’t had a 300 yard day in years, so they are concerned. Jonnu Smith is our hero again and Tua earned this one. Jet’s game talk is well mixed in with the challenge the Dolphins have n…

After defeating the Jets last week, the Dolphins head into the toughest remaining matchup on their schedule: a road date with the Houston Texans. the game provides the Dolphins with yet another opportunity to prove they can beat a playoff-caliber opponent on the road. Can they take advantage of it? Aaron and Josh are back to look at what is going t…

Most Dolphins fans found themselves hoping for a relatively easy Sunday afternoon where they'd see their team smash the struggling New York Jets. After all, the Jets were beat up, out of sorts, and playing out the string of an absolutely catastrophic failure of a season. What they got instead was a hard-fought, back-and-forth football game that req…

After a disappointing performance on Thanksgiving Night, the Miami Dolphins will be back in action on Sunday, taking on the team that has been a three ring circus wrapped in a tin foil hat and tossed into a dumpster fire: the Stinkin' New York Jets.With their own season teetering on the edge of disaster, the Dolphins need a big bounce back performa…

Alex and Scott head into the studio the day after Thanksgiving to talk football. We hear it, we read it, we’ve talked about it. The Dolphins can’t beat winning teams. The Dolphins can’t win in big games. The Dolphins rarely win on national TV. The Dolphins can’t win in the cold. With the recent exception of beating the Rams on the road on Monday ni…

Stop us if you've heard this one before: the Miami Dolphins, generating momentum with victories over bad and mediocre teams, had a chance to prove themselves a legitimate contender by taking on a quality opponent on the road in the winter on national television. Then, as if on cue, the Dolphins fell flat on their faces, looking confused and unprepa…

Scott and Alex get into the studio on a Victory Monday and celebrate the butt kicking Miami gave to the Patriots. Clearly, the Dolphins are back on track, at least beating up on the bad teams. Lot’s of player performances to highlight and positive commentary on coaching too! Now comes the real test. Can McDaniel scheme and play call a win, at night…

The Miami Dolphins CRUISED to victory over the New England Patriots on Sunday. It was the first time all season and perhaps since last November that things felt "easy" for the Dolphins, leaping out to a 31-0 lead early in the third quarter. From there, it felt like the Dolphins went into cruise control mode and things got a little sloppy on both si…

It seems like it was in another lifetime when the Dolphins defeated the Patriots in Foxboro with Snoop Huntley leading the offense against Jacoby Brissett. Since then, the Dolphins have gotten Tua Tagovailoa back and their offense is rounding into form. The team is threatening to become a player in the race for the AFC playoffs. Meanwhile, the Patr…

In this week’s episode of “Two Old Dolfans,” hosts Scott and Alex delve into the Miami Dolphins’ recent performances, highlighting the team’s resilience and growth under head coach Mike McDaniel who’s efforting to get off the hot seat. The Dolphins have faced a challenging stretch, but their recent 23-15 victory over the Los Angeles Rams marked a t…

The Miami Dolphins' offense was practically unstoppable as the Dolphins defeated the Las Vegas Raiders 34-19 on Sunday. Scoring on ever possession (except the very end of the first half), the team's offensive evolution took center stage. Not only did they take what the Raiders gave them, but Tua Tagovailoa was able to scramble and create plays off-…

After defeating the Rams on Monday Night Football, the Dolphins return home this week to take on the lowly Las Vegas Raiders, who come into the game on a five game losing streak, making them the coldest team in the NFL.Internally, Dolphins players and staff seem to believe that the return of Tua Tagovailoa has has a positive impact and that it is n…

The Miami Dolphins flew across the country in need of a big win to attempt to right a sinking ship. They got perhaps their best defensive performance of the season and another positive showing from the offense (though not without some warts). The Dolphins will fly back across the country bringing a big road win with them and, regardless of how you …

While the season has been long, grueling, and not at all what anybody has hoped for thus far, the Dolphins still have 9 games to go. Can the Dolphins continue with the momentum their offense has built over the last two weeks? Can the defense get its act together against a potent offense? Can the Dolphins pickup a west coast win for the second strai…

The Miami Dolphins played what was easily their best game of the 2024 season on Sunday in Buffalo. In fact, you could argue that it was the best game they've played in two and a half seasons under Mike McDaniel. It wasn't good enough. Despite of an excellent performance from Tua Tagovailoa and the Dolphins offense, the team fell short 30-27, losing…

A podcast recorded early, but published late. Listen in before Sunday kickoff!Door Scott Quiggle and Alex Saenz

After a heartbreaking last-second loss to Arizona in Tua Tagovailoa's return in Week 8, almost all hope of salvaging the 2024 Miami Dolphins season went out the window. Now, the last vestiges of hope ride on Miami going into Buffalo and defeating the Bills on the road. To say optimism is low would be an understatement.With Aaron still traveling, Jo…

The Miami Dolphins received a big lift on Sunday as Tua Tagovailoa returned to the field. The Dolphins' offense immediately looked cohesive and functional. They moved the ball well in the air and on the ground, much like the famous song suggests. However, as has been demonstrated time and again, they are not a well-coached team. Sloppy mistakes stu…

Barring a significant development, the Miami Dolphins will have their QB1 back in the saddle this Sunday afternoon. Tua Tagovailoa is progressing through the concussion protocol and was a full participant in practice on Thursday. In more worrying news, Tyreek Hill was limited with a foot injury. That could be anything, but it’s something to monitor…

First, let us apologize for the Audio quality in this episode. Scott it traveling and forgot to bring some of his equipment. Secondly, as if we had some responsibility for it, let us apologize for the dismal performance of the team we love. They are hard to love. Alex and Scott go as far as to refer to memes in this episode. Alex’s kicks off with h…

On Sunday afternoon, the Miami Dolphins once again lost a football game because the passing game was largely ineffective, highlighting the flawed build of the team. There were also flashing neon lights pointing to Mike McDaniel and Chris Grier's negligence. They neglected to field a suitable backup quarterback after investing in an injury-prone qua…

Today on the Same Old Dolphins Show, Aaron and Mike preview this week's game between the Dolphins and the Colts as the Dolphins play most likely their last game without Tua. Can the Dolphins get to .500 and back into the playoff hunt? Plus, they find a few minutes to talk about some reality TV (yes, it can't be all football all the time.) This epis…

With 1/3 of the NFL season in the books, it's fairly easy to say that things have not played out the way most Miami Dolphins fans had hoped or expected, but the Week 5 victory over the Patriots and a bye week seem to have provided some sort of temporary salve.Aaron and Josh are back to make a case for negativity and positivity with most of the seas…

Are Scott and Alex happy that the Dolphins beat the Patriots? Of course they are, they’re Dolphins fans. Do either of them think it means anything? Alex does, with caveats. Scott, well… listen in to find out. More analysis in this episode than in the last few. Scott shares most of his notes as they are written, from the first half of the game. Both…

Sometimes a win is a win, even when it's not terribly pretty.That's what the Dolphins managed to do on Sunday in New England, beating out a very weak Patriots team 15-10 behind 193 rushing yards on 41 attempts. While it took some time (and a concussion to Devon Achane), the Dolphins finally began attacking the Patriots with downhill runs and it pro…

It's been a nightmarish start to the season for the Miami Dolphins.After squeaking out a win in Week 1 against Jacksonville, the Dolphins have failed to even be competitive in the following three games, losing all of them. In the absence of QB Tua Tagovailoa, the team has crumbled. Mike McDaniel has failed to adapt and the team's backup quarterback…

Alex and Scott head back into the studio “the day after” the last Dolphins Debacle against the lowly Titans. They discuss elements of the game, the performance of the units and players, the coaching, and the construction of the team which might be the most disappointing in Dolphins history. The sarcasm flows, and might produce some laughter. At the…

Four days removed from a putrid and embarrassing display of football incompetence, Aaron and Josh are back to look ahead to the Dolphins' next opportunity to put their 2024 season back on track. Can Mike McDaniel set his pride and hubris aside and pivot to a game plan that might have a chance to succeed given the lack of personnel available? Will t…

Our hosts examine the team and the primary flaws in it. Cause and effect. Long term strategy. Who are the key contributors to this team now? Much of the talk is about Chris Grier an…

Welp. Tua Tagovailoa is on IR with another concussion.While this represents a significant blow to the hopes Miami Dolphins fans had for this season, there are still 15 games to play and everything the team wants is still there in front of them to have...if they can figure out a way to win without their QB 1. Aaron the Brain is back for a solo episo…

Once again, the Miami Dolphins came into the national spotlight with a chance to change the narrative around themselves. On Thursday night, rather than change the narratives, they reinforced just about every negative narrative surrounding them. The Buffalo Bills came into Hard Rock Stadium and were more or less gifted the game. The Dolphins were sl…

It wasn’t pretty. In fact, there were large stretches where it was downright ugly, but the Miami Dolphins dug deep and pulled out a 20-17 victory over the Jacksonville Jaguars in their 2024 season opener at Hard Rock Stadium on Sunday afternoon. After a slow start, Miami’s offense began to look like itself in the second half, with significant contr…

The Dolphins enter Week 1 with some injury questions, the biggest of which surrounds Jalen Ramsey. Meanwhile, their opponents, the Jacksonville Jaguars are as health…

Now that the Dolphins' preseason is behind us and the team's 53-man roster is beginning to take shape, the eyes of every Dolfan are shifting towards the regular season to come.

The Miami Dolphins defeated the Washington Commanders 13-6 in their second preseason game and learned more about several players who are competing for the last few roster spots.

The Miami Dolphins received some very good news on Monday; Jaelan Phillips is being activated off the PUP list. This provides a huge lift to the team's new look defense. While it's not a certainty that he'll be ready to go for the season opener, it does indicate that he's going to be back in action much sooner than some had previously thought. In o…
