Dolphins continue to find ways to embarrass themselves – The Splash Zone 10/20/25

If there was ever a time to blow it up, that time would be now. The Miami Dolphins got absolutely humiliated by the Cleveland Browns yesterday and we can only wonder when we will see some changes to this football team. This offensive system is not sustainable when everything has to be perfect for the quarterback due to his limitations. The defense has lost so much talent over the past couple of years and it’s finally come back to bite the team in the butt. It’s probably time for a fresh start in Miami and time to get some new...

Dolphins losing fan base if changes not made

Dolphins losing fan base if changes not made

Apathy (noun): (1) lack of feeling or emotion; (2) lack of interest or concern; impassiveness, indifference. The worst thing that can happen to an NFL franchise is for the fan base to reach a point where apathy is the dominating emotion surrounding the team. On Sunday, the Dolphins reached that point.

It no longer feels like fans are supporting the team. It no longer feels like fans are angry about what they are seeing. The fans are indifferent. There is a lack of interest in the team. The Miami Dolphins no longer matter.

In South Florida, the Dolphins reign supreme....

Dolphins vs. Browns final score, immediate reactions as Cleveland dominates

Dolphins vs. Browns final score, immediate reactions as Cleveland dominates

The Miami Dolphins were outplayed, outcoached, and outmatched on Sunday as the Cleveland Browns dominated the entire Week 7 matchup. Miami never was in the game, with the Browns repeatedly punching the Dolphins in the face. It was yet another embarrassing performance from the Dolphins in every aspect of the game.

It was so lopsided, rookie quarterback Quinn Ewers replaced starter Tua Tagovailoa for the final half of the fourth quarter. Tagovailoa ended the game 12-for-23 for 100 yards with three interceptions.

The Dolphins never looked like a professional team that takes pride in their performance. They stepped on the...

Dolphins vs. Browns inactive players list: Miami shakes up quarterback depth chart; Wright active

Dolphins vs. Browns inactive players list: Miami shakes up quarterback depth chart; Wright active

The Miami Dolphins and Cleveland Browns are closing in on kickoff for their Week 7 meeting. One of the final steps for each team around the league is to announce their respective inactive players lists, bringing their 53-man active roster down to the 48-man gameday limit exercised by the league. Included in that limit are any players who were elevated from the practice squad for the game, with each tame allowed to bring up two practice squad members to join the team in the game each week.

For the Dolphins, they chose to elevate two players, linebacker Quinton Bell and...

Miami Dolphins @ Cleveland Browns Open Live Thread & Game Information

Miami Dolphins @ Cleveland Browns Open Live Thread & Game Information

Our Miami Dolphins will travel north today to take on the equally woeful Cleveland Browns. Both teams enter this game with a 1-5 record, but it seems the Dolphins, more so than the Browns, have more to lose than the game this afternoon. Many fans, including myself, believed that last week’s game against the LA Chargers was a must-win for Phins head coach Mike McDaniel and/or general manager Chris Grier if they had hoped to hold onto their jobs beyond this past week. The overly patient owner, Stephen Ross, is said to be “extremely frustrated”, but allowed both men to...

Dolphins make quarterback change ahead of game against Browns

Dolphins make quarterback change ahead of game against Browns

The Miami Dolphins are making a quarterback change ahead of their Week 7 matchup against the Cleveland Browns.

As per Ian Rapoport on X, the Dolphins are making rookie quarterback Quinn Ewers the backup quarterback to Tua Tagovailoa on Sunday. The Dolphins drafted Ewers in the seventh round of the 2025 NFL draft, at pick No. 231.

The backup position was previously held by Zach Wilson all season, who made his one and only appearance for the team in Week 1 against the Indianapolis Colts. It’s unclear whether or not Wilson is currently dealing with an injury, or if the...

Dolphins Continue to Receive “Lots of Calls” on Pass-Rushers as Trade Deadline Nears

Dolphins Continue to Receive “Lots of Calls” on Pass-Rushers as Trade Deadline Nears

Dolphins head coach Mike McDaniel called trade rumors regarding some of Miami’s top talent “baseless” during his Friday press conference. Twenty-four hours later, one of the league’s top insiders continues to hear otherwise.

According to The Athletic’s Senior NFL Insider, Dianna Russini, Miami’s phone has been ringing off the hook, with the team receiving “lots of calls” on pass-rushers Bradley Chubb and Jaelan Phillips.

Chubb, 29, signed a five-year, $110 million extension in 2022 after the Dolphins acquired the star pass-rusher from the Denver Broncos. The two sides restructured Chubb’s deal before the 2025 season, converting a portion of his...

Dolphins Week 7 fan confidence ties all-time record

Dolphins Week 7 fan confidence ties all-time record

Miami Dolphins fans have tied an all-time record when it comes to their confidence in the direction of the team. Unfortunately, it is due to their lack of confidence in a 1-5 team that finds new ways to lose games weekly. The high-point of the season was in Week 1, when 45 percent of the fans thought the team was headed in the right direction. There was a jump in Week 5, when, after three weeks of single-digit results, 32 percent of the fans were coming back to trusting the team. Now, both the results on the field and in...

Stream options, kickoff time for Miami Dolphins vs. Cleveland Browns: Week 7 odds, TV channel, more

The Miami Dolphins are having one of their worst seasons in recent years, stumbling their way out of the gate in Week 1 and continuing to fall throughout the first third of the season. Can they turn things around with a visit to the Cleveland Browns? Is there any way for a 1-5 team to somehow become competitive in a year when there does not appear to be any truly dominant teams?

Today’s game in Cleveland should be an interesting one as both teams battle huge winds and rain, likely turning the game into a running contest. Will Miami’s defense...
