If we win this weekend, we would clinch the division and also home field advantage all through the playoffs. Would this be consider the BIGGEST regular season game in our short history? The Tampa Bay game was nice and dandy, both 9-3 teams slugging it out for 1st place. What cha think about this game against the Giants? :D

I would say this is a very BIG game for us. Remember 1996? We were also undeated @ home and lost to the Packers in Green Bay. If we can win in New York this week, the road to the SuperBowl would be through us, of course if we make it through our first round. I like our chances alot if we get HFA. We are a whole new animal @ home!:D

An NFC Title game in Charlotte, for sure, is a HUGE thing to work toward. But as far as big games go I'de say getting the division. Winning games to get into the playoffs, etc...were all relativley bigger than others. If it weren't for the MNF game, would we even be in position?

From here on out, every game is our biggest game kids.

Not necessary true, if we could pull a win in New York this week, we would get the #1 seed over the Giants regardless if we lose to the Saints or Giants win next week. The Saints games would be meaning less. Unless we are trying to win out and get a francise record of 13-3. I don't know, have we every rested our players before?:eek:

      Just look at OTC. It takes like 30 seconds. Also, ESPN just covered this today. As Dolphins coach Mike McDaniel openly mulls a quarterback change late in Tua Tagovailoa's disappointing season, here's the math on where things stand with Tagovailoa and the Dolphins. He has $54 million in fully guaranteed compensation in 2026. That breaks down as a $39 million salary and a $15 million option bonus that needs to be exercised between the first and third days of the 2026 league year in March. Additionally, on the third day of the 2026 league year, $3 million of his $31 million 2027 salary becomes fully guaranteed. So if he's on Miami's roster as of 4 p.m. ET on March 13, the Dolphins will be on the hook for $57 million guaranteed.   If they were to release him prior to that date, they'd still have to pay him the $54 million in 2026 cash and would absorb $99.2 million in dead salary cap charges. (They could spread that out over two years if they designated him a post-June 1 release, but they'd still take $67.4 million in dead money charges on their 2026 cap and the remaining $31.8 million in 2027.) If they were to find a way to trade Tagovailoa before March 13, the acquiring team would become responsible for the $54 million in 2026 salary and bonuses, and the Dolphins' dead-money charge would drop to $45.2 million. If they traded him after March 13, presumably they'd be on the hook for the $15 million option bonus, while the new team would take the $39 million salary; the Dolphins' dead-money charge would be $60.2 million.   None of this is even close to ideal, obviously, as it would leave Miami in a terrible cap situation and also without a quarterback. The Broncos took $80 million in dead-money charges (spread over two years) when they released Russell Wilson in 2024, and they managed to make the playoffs last season and currently hold the 1-seed in the AFC playoff field for this season. So huge dead-money charges don't necessarily kill a team's chances. But one of the reasons it has worked for Denver is it found a first-round QB in Bo Nix who could play right away.   If the Dolphins bench Tagovailoa this week, it'd be for either Zach Wilson or rookie Quinn Ewers, either of whom could theoretically be a 2026 starting option if they show enough in these remaining three weeks. But moving on from Tagovailoa would probably require the Dolphins to be players in that Mac Jones/Kyler Murray/etc. second-chance QB market if they want to compete next year. Not a great spot for whoever their next general manager turns out to be. https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/47324378/nfl-week-16-buzz-news-updates-fantasy-intel-questions-predictions#trades
