  • Chris Perkins: I’m begging you, Dolphins … someone must talk to Tyreek
    South Florida Sun-Sentinel, Sunday - 01/05/2025 - 10:41 PM

    EAST RUTHERFORD, N. J. — Miami Dolphins wide receiver Tyreek Hill started the season by getting detained by police outside of Hard Rock Stadium prior to the opener against Jacksonville. Hill ended the season by setting the Dolphins world on fire. In between he trolled and trolled and trolled some more. And nobody said a word to him. Not general manager Chris Grier, not coach Mike McDaniel, who will be both be back next season, according to a statement released by the Dolphins after the game, and not a single player on the team. Nobody says a word to Tyreek.

  • Things we learned in Miami Dolphins’ season-ending 32-20 loss at the New York Jets
    South Florida Sun-Sentinel, Sunday - 01/05/2025 - 08:31 PM

    EAST RUTHERFORD, N. J. — The Miami Dolphins needed two things to happen to earn their third consecutive playoff berth: win their finale against the New York Jets and have Denver lose to Kansas City. Neither happened. Denver won, 38-0, before the Dolphins’ game was over. It doesn’t matter. The Dolphins’ 32-20 loss against the New York Jets (5-12) still goes down as one of the most embarrassing, humiliating and shameful losses in the Mike McDaniel era. And that’s not a short list. The Dolphins (8-9) ended the season with a whimper, finishing 3-6 on the road, 1-4 against playoff teams and 7-5 against non-playoff teams. The 2024 season will go down as a complete failure. Here are some more takeaways from Sunday’s game:  Snoop has rough game, might not be backup answer Quarterback Tyler “Snoop” Huntley came up short in the Dolphins’ biggest game of the season with four fumbles and two interceptions, making you wonder whether he’s successfully completed his audition for 2025 backup quarterback. The Dolphins needed leadership and stability at quarterback and didn’t get anything close to that.

  • Dave Hyde: Dolphins need to invest in QB – and Ross keeps Grier in charge
    South Florida Sun-Sentinel, Sunday - 01/05/2025 - 08:00 PM

    It’s always a downer watching the final seconds tick away in a Miami Dolphins season, as they did again Sunday, the big hope of summer ending in the three … two … one … of another Groundhog Year of nothing. That empty feeling felt magnified Sunday. It wasn’t just the too-lifeless loss to the New York Jets (5-12), considering the Dolphins (8-9) were eliminated from the playoffs by Denver’s win anyhow. It’s what coming next, too.

    Quick thoughts from South Florida Sun Sentinel staffers on the Miami Dolphins’ season-ending 32-20 loss to the New York Jets at MetLife Stadium on Sunday: Dave Hyde, Columnist Four turnovers in the finale isn’t the way to go out, though the sting was gone considering Denver makes the playoffs anyway.
