Fins down 13-6 at the half. Fins will get possession to start the second half.

Not a horrible half but they can do better.

 

[Paolo305613]

Gaskin able to break one and tie the game up.

Fins defense with crucial stop on 4th

 

[Paolo305613]

Nothing from the Dolphins offense with the great field position they got from the 4th down stop.

Fins can clinch playoff spot with Ravens L tomorrow. Or, if Fins win next Sunday they are in regardless what else happens. The win tonight just keeps them in drivers seat.

Truly unbelievable this is a true team. Would be nice if top two WR's could play...

The defense kept the team in the game.

I was thinking that Ahmed should get the lion's share of the carries. I was wrong. Gaskin showed why the coaches view him as the top RB. On his big run there was a lot of good blocks including downfield. Throughout the day Gaskin was seeing the openings & making the most of each carry.

Tua competed but Fitzmagic was amazing. The completion to Hollins was incredible. He made an accurate pass downfield while getting his head yanked backwards. Fitz also made a huge play to Gesicki on the drive before among his other completions.

Changing QBs has been dealt with well by the team including both QBs. There is a lot of maturity on this young football team.

Flores & his coaches make a lot of good decisions.

It will be tough to get a W in Buffalo but it wouldn't surprise me if this group gets it done. Go Fins!

 

[Paolo305613]

Not at all surprised that it took a relief appearance from Fitzpatrick to get the offense to get it going and pull off the win. Looks like we will have to settle for another potential FitzMagic relief appearance next week.

Losing Roberts was tough.

On a different note, the Dolphins have to make sure that there special teams issues from this game don't carry over. The team had a lot of issues with getting good field position and gave up good field position on the other end too often.

On Eric Rowe, it has been since last season since he had such consistent matchup trouble.

Head over to the week 17 game thread. We can follow and discuss todays games there that have playoff implications for the Fins going into next week.
