As a fellow Phiins fan, this is just really sad.

With that said...

Not like they deserve it, but thanks to the Pats and Chargers, the Phins still have two routes to the playoffs:

Scenario 1:
Dolphins beat Jets
Bengals beat Ravens

Scenario 2:
Dolphins beat Jets
Chargers beat Chiefs

I think Miami might be able to get one of those to break their way. And we know they can beat the Jets. The question here is, will they actually get the job done? If the Phins can get in, I think they could be a threat, they've beaten most of the playoff teams from the AFC at some point or another.

The question is, will the Dolphins even have a QB? Tannehill is the most sacked QB in the league, and was sacked 7 times today. Got injured for the first time all season after the 7th. Matt Moore is an okay vet. Wouldn't put the game on his shoulders, but is a good manager...if we actually had a run game.

How bad was the injury?
 
Tannehill was able to return, but Matt Moore came back in to end the game. Not sure if the injury was still bugging him, or coaches just figured the game was over...because honestly, I turned it off after he got injured and just followed it on NFL.com.
 
Can someone help me understand the rules on kickoff? I thought the receiving team has to touch the ball before it becomes free and recoverable by kicking team.

In CAR v NOpe, New Orleans kicked a onside kick that it looks like the kickers just ran in front of the ball and scooped it before receiving team could. I never saw a panther touch it. How does that work? At what point does it become a free ball?

The kick must be a free kick (a kickoff, or free kick after a safety, but not the rare fair catch kick).
The kick must cross the receiving team's restraining line (normally 10 yards in front of the kicking team's line), unless the receiving team touches the ball before that line.
The kicking team may only recover and retain possession of the kicked ball, but not advance it.
The kicking team must not interfere with an attempt by a player of the receiving side to catch the ball on the fly.
 
What they like to do for onside kicks is kick the ball so that after 8-12 yards, it jams into the ground and bounces straight up, and it would be a jump ball.

On a surprise onside kick, some of them like to kick it straight at the helmet of an opposing player, where it bounces back to the kicking team. That's hard to do when an onside kick is expected, because they put their DBs, safetys and receivers on the receiving team.

The Dolphins were my team until the Oilers moved to TN. That was back when the Patriots or Colts would usually go 3-13 and the Jets 8-8 or 9-7, and almost every year, the Bills would thwart the Dolphins' playoff chances before going on to lose the Super Bowl.
 
Romo will play. I can't believe anyone ever seriously questioned that in the first place.
 
I'm a Chiefs fan, I have to kind of embarrasingly admit after last week's debacle. They'll have to play a lot better than that if they want to win at least one game in the playoffs.

Uh, no he won't. He had back surgery this morning and was placed on IR...out for whatever remains of the Cowboys' season. http://espn.go.com/dallas/nfl/story...s-cowboys-back-surgery-vs-philadelphia-eagles

Oh wow, guess I should have checked today's news. All week they showed his leg injury video against the Skins but it was reported a back injury and it followed exactly the same as Romo's rib injury stuff from last season and he still played through it. Color me very surprised and can't pick em all I guess. Maybe they just don't want to risk Romo choking away ANOTHER divisional championship game ;)
