Miami Dolphins
On Friday, the NFL announced its list of 2025 Fans of the Year, and for the Miami Dolphins, it was a moment of a lifetime for this mother-son tandem.
During the first quarter of the Dolphins’ Thursday Night Week 9 Matchup vs. the Baltimore Ravens, Tommy and Lydia Dubinski found out that they would be representing the Dolphins as the 2025 Fans of the Year — the first time in its history that teams could nominate a pair of fans.
According to the Miami Dolphins’ official site, Lydia became a season ticket holder in 1988 and never looked back. Her...

The Miami Dolphins will square off against the Buffalo Bills for the second time this season. These two teams met back in week 3 with the Bills coming away with another victory. The season is basically over for the Dolphins and this will be their first game since the team parted ways with GM Chris Grier. Will it make a difference? Probably not. But we are going to find out pretty quickly how much fight this team still has left or are they going to quit on Mike McDaniel?

By now, most of you have heard the horrible news that we lost one of the longest and most beloved members of our family here at the Phinsider. Dale Joseph Faircloth, aka daytonadolfan aka Tona, passed away last month, unexpectedly, at the age of 67. Joe, as many of you may know, had recently retired from Volusia County here in Florida and lived in Holly Hill, Florida. Joe had also been dealing with a lot of painful back issues prior to his untimely passing.
Joe was already an important part of the Phinsider community and a daily mainstay when I...

The Miami Dolphins get their second 2025 shot at the Buffalo Bills on Sunday, looking to avenge a Week 3 31-21 loss in Buffalo. The Dolphins lead the all-time head-to-head matchup with the Bills 61-57-1, but Buffalo has won the last seven meetings – and 16 of the last 18 contests. This AFC East division rivalry has become extremely lopsided over the last decade.
This year has been an ugly one for Miami, which finished the first half of the season 2-7 and looks like a team that can compete in games but cannot finish them. They are just a...

As of today, the Miami Dolphins sit in football purgatory.
At 2-7, they are one of the worst teams in the NFL. However, unlike their fellow bottom-dwellers, the Dolphins are in proverbial draft capital and salary cap hell. Of the 10 worst teams in the NFL, only the Cleveland Browns and New Orleans Saints currently have less cap space going into the 2026 NFL season.

The Miami Dolphins have had a forgettable 2025 season and QB Tua Tagovailoa is enjoying his worst year as a pro yet. After the Dolphins and Chris Grier parted ways, a rumor started that Tua would be fighting for his job as his performance so far this season has not been optimal. Mike McDaniel came out this week and said Tua gives the Dolphins the best chance to win, so he’ll be out there starting against the Buffalo Bills.
You can check out that story here, and the rest of the day’s round-up below.

The Miami Dolphins waived tight end Tanner Conner on Thursday, the team announced. The move comes as the team prepares for their Week 10 contest against the Buffalo Bills on Sunday. The Dolphins have Julian Hill and Greg Bulcich on the active roster at the tight end position still, while Chris Myarick and Hayden Rucci are on the practice squad. Hill has been limited in practice this week with an ankle injury that caused him to miss the last two games.
No corresponding move to fill Conner’s roster vacancy was announced.
Conner initially made the Dolphins’ active roster in 2022...

The South Florida media made their rounds in the Miami Dolphins locker room on Thursday, and while players were giving statements to reporters, there was a surprising and noticeable absence. No, it wasn’t EDGE rusher Jaelan Phillips who was shipped to the Philadelphia Eagles earlier this week in exchange for a 2026 third-round draft pick — the surprise element missing from Miami’s locker room was their card table in addition to their Pop-A-Shot mini basketball hoop.
When asked for comment, Dolphins linebacker Jordyn Brooks refused to talk about the matter, however defensive tackle Benito Jones was happy to answer questions...

Well, the fans got louder, and Miami Dolphins owner Stephen Ross knew that he had to do something. He had to give the fans something to show that things were going to change, and so general manager Chris Grier and the organization decided to “mutually part ways.” But are you, the fans —or at least the cross-section of the fan base that called the Phinsider their home site for Dolphins info —happy with that move? Did you find it the right move to make, or only part of the right move(s) that needed to be made? Do you think that...
