The Splash Zone 12/24/18: Dolphins Eliminated From Playoffs

We may have seen the last of Ryan Tannehill at Hard Rock Stadium. We may have seen the last of Adam Gase at Hard Rock Stadium. Not only did yesterday’s loss eliminate the Dolphins from the playoffs, but may have also cost some jobs. Stephen Ross is going to have some tough decisions to make in the coming weeks. I’m not sure what to expect as I can see Gase staying but also see him getting a pink slip. It is going to be an interesting offseason.
