Phinsider Question Of The Day: Single Biggest Mistake Edition

Phinsider Question Of The Day: Single Biggest Mistake Edition

I'll start this evening by agreeing with most of you. I know that if I ask you what the biggest mistake the team made this season was, you, like I, would have a mountain of complaints that are all likely deserved. But if you had to say what the single biggest mistake that the Miami Dolphins front office or coaching staff made this year was, what would it be? Mine would be letting Robert Hunt go and not filling his shoes adequately.

Our Miami Dolphins enter the last week of the 2024 NFL season, still hoping to make the playoffs. Last week, they kept their narrow chances alive by defeating the Cleveland Browns despite being without their starting quarterback, Tua Tagovailoa.

While that sounds simple, the Dolphins will be without their starting quarterback again today. Miami may also be without a handful of other offensive starters for today's game....

Chiefs sit Patrick Mahomes, Travis Kelce among Week 18 inactives vs Broncos

As expected, the Kansas City Chiefs will use Week 18 as a rest period for their main starters - which make the Miami Dolphins’ path to the playoffs that much harder.

As expected, the Kansas City Chiefs, who have clinched the number one seed in the AFC playoff picture, will rest their starters for the team’s Week 18 contest against the Denver Broncos. Denver clinches a spot in the playoffs with a win and, with the Chiefs not caring if they win or lose this week’s games, that seems a strong possibility.
