General Daily Insight for November 29, 2024
We may feel pushed toward embracing intensity today. As the penetrating Scorpio Moon forms frustrating angles with both overbearing Jupiter and uncomfortable Chiron, it might seem like the only way out of a tough situation is to dig all the way into it. When Luna goes on to oppose unpredictable Uranus at 8:32 pm EST, surprising solutions could emerge under pressure.
Brrrr.
The Miami Dolphins lost 30-17 to the Green Bay Packers in a way that left you cold.
The Dolphins put a lot of emphasis on this game after a three-game win streak, and fell to 5-7 against the Packers (9-3).
Here are 10 thoughts on the game:

GREEN BAY, Wisc. — The thing about narratives, sometimes they’re just true.
Narratives, the word often used around the Dolphins, specifically about how they struggle against contending teams and in cold weather, were only solidified as valid with their Thanksgiving effort against the Green Bay Packers.
Failing to look like a team that belonged in temperatures in the 20s and sporadic snow flurries, the Dolphins were crushed most of the night and lost to the Packers by a more reasonable final score of 30-17 due to a late-but-always improbable comeback bid on Thursday night at Lambeau Field in front of a national audience.
Miami (5-7) had its three-game winning streak snapped and fell to two games back of the Denver Broncos for the seventh and final AFC playoff spot, with the Broncos hosting the Cleveland Browns on Monday night.
Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa, playing from behind all night, finished 37 of 46 for 364 yards and two touchdowns.
Quick thoughts from South Florida Sun Sentinel staffers on the Miami Dolphins’ 30-11 loss to the Green Bay Packers at Lambeau Field on Thanksgiving night:

You’ve seen this game before. Last year. Two years ago. The season asks for the Dolphins to show who they are and they do.
GREEN BAY, Wisc. — Miami Dolphins cornerback Kader Kohou suffered a back injury in Thursday night’s game against the Green Bay Packers at Lambeau Field.
In the first quarter, Kohou attempted to dive for a pass that was deflected and ricocheted up into the air. He collided with a Packers player and his body twisted backward while his helmet was also contacted.
Kohou got up under his own power and walked slowly to the sideline injury tent to get checked out.
Scrappy defensive play that led to 10 steals and an overall aggressive nature helped carry No. 18 Florida to a 75-58 victory over Wake Forest on Thanksgiving Day at the ESPN Events Invitational at State Farm Field House.
The Gators (7-0) remained unbeaten by pressuring the ball on defense and pushing the tempo in a game that didn’t start out particularly well for them.
Florida scored just 11 points in the first 11 minutes and the Deacons had a chance to blow this game open.
