Social Media Reaction to Dolphins Loss at Green Bay

The Week 13 loss at Green Bay was just too much for fans of the Miami Dolphins to bear on their own. They took to social media to voice their discontent after yet another late season, cold-weather loss.

The Miami Dolphins lost against the Green Bay Packers, 30-17, in the cold and (some) snow. They were looking to change narratives, but nothing changed. They were embarrassed in prime time on a national holiday.

Things could not have gotten much worse Thursday night.

One fan on social media said he wants to see the National Football League ban the Dolphins from playing on national television at night. The embarrassment that @joboken5 felt could easily be said for many Dolphins fans across the base.

Dear NFL,
Please no more night games for Miami… ever? We are tired of embarrassing ourselves in Prime Time!
Signed,
The Dolphins fanbase

Zach, a university student, said the Dolphins loss ruined the holiday joy of their fan base. With the rest of the winter holidays coming up and the Dolphins scheduled for two more cold-weather games, the holidays could be at further peril.

@cujoknows believes the season, when finished with cold-weather games, against better than average teams, is nothing more than a dumpster fire. It is hard to disagree with him, when the team is 0-for-cold weather games during the Mike McDaniel era.

Cujo thinks the Dolphins have their best shot at winning games when the temperature is over 60 degrees and teams have a below .500 winning percentage. The way the last two seasons have gone, we cannot find fault with the statement.

Zachapp posted his dismay at Washington’s muffed punt. He went so far as to call the Dolphins embarrassing.

The Miami Dolphins are embarrassing
Just let it go if you can’t catch it

UD from Utah, a/k/a @utahdolphin, as opposed to the UD from Miami named Udonis Haslem, believes the Dolphins are the softest team in the NFL. All UD wants, according to his profile is for the Dolphins to win a championship during his lifetime. Let’s hope he lives a long life and gets to see that happen.

A self-proclaimed Jets fan had snuck his way into the Dolphins timeline. He is this week’s Captain Obvious, but he really has little room to talk.

The Dolphins might not be able to win cold-weather games as a warm-weather team, vur what does it say for the Jets? The Jets play in a cold-weather climate and still can’t win at home.

Miami Dolphins and Tua are 0-8 in cold weather games 😂😂😂😂

“On behalf of the Miami Dolphins, I expressed our gratitude for his many contributions, both on the field and in the community, during his six seasons in Miami,” Sullivan said.

Detroit Pistons torched by Miami Heat for fourth straight loss

Detroit Pistons torched by Miami Heat for fourth straight loss

The Detroit Pistons’ slide continues.

They fell to the Miami Heat on the road, 121-110, on Sunday, March 8. It’s their fourth-consecutive loss – their first time dropping four in a row since opening the 2024-25 season 0-4. The Pistons (45-18) looked a step slow in the second half of a back-to-back, less than 24 hours after hosting the Brooklyn Nets at home Saturday.

Cade Cunningham returned from a one-game absence and carried the offense with 26 points and 10 assists. Jalen Duren also had a strong line, with 24 points and five rebounds. It was a poor night for the rest of the roster, as the Pistons shot 11-for-37 (29.7%) from 3. It also was a poor defensive night, as Detroit allowed Miami to shoot 47.3% overall and score 103 points through the first three quarters.

Ausar Thompson (right ankle sprain) missed his second straight game. The Miami Heat were led by Tyler Herro (25 points) and Bam Adebayo (24 points, nine rebounds, six assists).

The loss drops the Pistons (47-18) to just 2½ games up on the Boston Celtics – who have gotten a big boost from the return of Jayson Tatum – in the East. Still, even with the skid, the Pistons have a 6½ game lead on the Cleveland Cavaliers as they go for their first Central Division title since 2007-08.

Next up for the Pistons

The Pistons will get a chance to avenge Saturday night’s 23-point collapse as they visit the Brooklyn Nets on Tuesday (7:30 p.m., FanDuel Sports Network Detroit Extra). The Nets are contenders only for a top lottery pick. After that, the Pistons return home for a pair of games, against the Philadelphia 76ers on Thursday and the Memphis Grizzlies on Friday.

Pistons’ defensive slide continues

Defense has been the biggest driver of the Pistons’ success this season. But they’ve slipped since the All-Star break, and their losing streak reflects it.

The Heat’ century mark through the first three quarters marked an uncharacteristically poor showing for a team that’s held the second-best defensive rating for most of the season. The Heat did so while shooting 48.6% overall, and committing just four turnovers against a Pistons team that leads the league in steals.

Entering Sunday, the Pistons were a mere ninth in defensive rating in nine games since All-Star weekend. Their backslide started before Thompson’s injury, but his absence has accelerated it. They have given up at least 30 points in five consecutive quarters, dating back to Saturday’s fourth quarter against Brooklyn in which they surrendered 34 points.

Cunningham takes over after slow start

The Pistons took the floor roughly 20 hours after they wrapped up Saturday’s loss to the Nets, with a cross-country flight sandwiched in-between. In the first quarter, they came out flat and endured one of their worst starts of the season.

They trailed the Heat 34-16 by the end of the period, after knocking down just six of 22 field goal attempts (27.3%) and one of nine 3-pointers. Duren opened the game with a dunk at the 11:28 mark. More than five minutes passed before the next bucket – an alley-oop dunk for Duren from Cunningham – with 7:07 to go.

Cunningham was aggressive and responsible for the bulk of the Pistons’ offensive production by halftime. He scored 13 points and dished out five assists on 5-for-7 shooting in the second quarter, and scored or assisted 23 of their first 30 points.

He led a 10-2 Pistons run to open the second quarter and cut an 18-point deficit to 10, the closest they got the rest of the way. It included a pair of 3-pointers, the second a stepback over Adebayo. Cunningham powered a second run at the end of the second, finishing an off-balance euro step hook and another stepback 3-pointer over Adebayo, and two assists to Duren for two dunks, within the final 2:17.

The two-man game between Cunningham and Duren was the only consistent production the Pistons could generate. They combined for nearly half of their total offense — 50 points on 19-for-30 overall shooting. The rest of the roster combined shot 19-for-60 (31.7%).
