Joe opens the show heated after the Dolphins’ ugly Monday Night loss to the Steelers, a game far more lopsided than the 28–15 score suggests. The offense showed zero urgency, Tua Tagovailoa struggled in cold, physical conditions, and familiar narratives about Miami’s inability to win big games and in cold weather resurfaced. Omar Kelly and Kyle Crabbs join to break down Tua’s limitations, the offense’s failures, and why the team abandoned the run, while also praising standout defensive play from Jordyn Brooks. Joe and Hollywood debate whether it’s time to see what backup quarterbacks Zach Wilson or Quinn Ewers can do. The show closes with the broader fallout: the Dolphins are eliminated from playoff contention, extending a 25-year drought without a postseason win.
Hour 1 opens with a heated breakdown of the Dolphins’ loss, focusing on Tua Tagovailoa and what the rest of the season realistically looks like for Miami. While Tua’s box score looks passable, the lack of urgency — no hurry-up offense and no real push even in the fourth quarter — is impossible to ignore. Joe contrasts that with Dan Marino’s mentality, when urgency never disappeared regardless of the score. As the cold-weather narrative grows louder, the discussion centers on how Tua’s limitations were exposed once again when the Dolphins needed him most.
Hour 2 dives into the Dolphins’ bigger-picture problems and on-field struggles. Joe breaks down how Miami needs to learn to win late in the season, pointing out that in the AFC East they’re still “a zillion miles away” from the Patriots and Bills, with cold-weather matchups exposing roster limitations. He questions whether Tua Tagovailoa gives the team the best chance to win and highlights moments where the offense failed to read defenses effectively. Omar Kelly joins to criticize Tua as “just not good enough,” calling out the offense’s lack of urgency while praising Jordyn Brooks and the defense for matching Pittsburgh’s intensity. The segment also touches on Jaylen Waddle holding back thoughts on improving the passing game and Mike McDaniel still coaching for his job.

Kyle Crabbs joins to break down Miami’s struggles, criticizing Tua Tagovailoa and his postgame comments about communication, while noting the offense had no sustainability and the team abandoned the run.
