Unimaginable!

When we were 2-6, who would have thought that we would be 8-8 with a chance of making the playoffs going into the final game if the season?

6-2 over our last eight games - and we have a chance!

Fins up!

The thing that still sticks out for me is the fact that Tua was symptom free within a few days of his concussion but somebody thought it would be a bad look to play him too soon, so instead of sitting him for a week or two, they put him on IR and he missed five weeks. We went 1-4 over that span. With even one more win, we would probably control our destiny right now and with two, we'd be in the tournament.

Put that on the list of very Dolphinish decisions that have set the dumpster on fire again and again.

Are you a doctor? Did you examine Tua yourself before coming to this conclusion?

Lighten up, Francis.Tua said he was determined to be symptom free. That determination requires a medical evaluation.

I literally just told somebody that there was no right choice and that I probably would have done the same thing. It's the circumstances that suck, not the people who made the decision.

Because players never lie about concussions. This sub loves to complain about internet doctors saying Tua should retire yet like to be internet doctors themselves pretending they know for sure what the team doctors and his personal doctors were seeing during their evaluations.

Tua didn’t clear concussion protocol by the time we put him on IR which was five days after the game.
