There’s bad. There’s ugly. And there’s Seattle 24, Dolphins 3 on Sunday. The team knew it needed help with its starting quarterback out. But help never materialized until Seattle had built the kind of early, double-digit lead every opponent has this season. Here are 10 thoughts on the game: 1. The prime problem Sunday wasn’t Tua Tagovailoa’s concussion. It was the mega-drop in talent to Skylar Thompson. He was effectively given this start last winter when the Dolphins didn’t sign a better backup.  Sure, he beat out Mike White. But there were growing questions in preseason. Still, nothing...

Damon Cogdell hesitates to say it. “I don’t want to tell people, ‘I told you so,’” he says. The former Miramar High coach remembers saying to be patient more than a decade ago when his quarterback, Geno Smith, struggled in his opening NFL act. He said for everyone to wait, just wait, when Smith then played in just five games in six years with four teams. And now … “I told everyone so,’’ he says. Two quarterbacks come with stories to appreciate Sunday. The Miami Dolphins’ Skylar Thompson is writing his first act in the NFL, trying to step from the shadows in replacing starter Tua Tagovailoa...

Miami Dolphins owner Steve Ross is again in talks to sell a minority stake in the team and other assets. Ross is in discussions with private equity firms and individuals to sell as much as a 15 percent stake in the Dolphins, Hard Rock Stadium and F1 Miami, according to a New York Times report Friday evening. A team spokesperson did not immediately return request for comment. Ross, last November, courted talks with fellow billionaire Ken Griffin, but those discussions fell through in April. The Dolphins are valuated at more than $7.5 billion. Ross’ combination of the stadium and F1 grand...

MIAMI GARDENS — Miami Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa exited the Thursday night game against the Buffalo Bills with a concussion. Tagovailoa was scrambling for a first down on fourth-and-4 deep into the third quarter at Hard Rock Stadium. As he charged forward, he collided head-first with Bills safety Damar Hamlin. Tagovailoa dipped his helmet into Hamlin’s shoulder. Tagovailoa was down for minutes and went into a fencing posture with his right hand up and fingers curly with the left grabbing at his head while he lied on the turf. Teammates gestured immediately for assistance from the...

Catch up with the latest observations from the Sun Sentinel’s Miami Dolphins coverage team.

The Miami Dolphins released a strong statement Monday night, supporting players Tyreek Hill, Calais Campbell and Jonnu Smith after their run-in with Miami-Dade police officers on their drive into Hard Rock Stadium for Sunday’s season opener and calling for action against the cops involved. Sunday morning, Hill, the Dolphins’ star wide receiver was pulled over for a traffic violation that quickly escalated to his detainment and handcuffing. Smith and Campbell were also driving into the stadium around the same time and went over to check on Hill. Police interactions with them grew...

The emotion belonged to Mike McDaniel. But it should be everybody’s emotion right now. The words he chose should be everyone’s words when considering Tyreek Hill’s incident with Miami-Dade police now that an officer’s body-camera video has been released. “Really, the time since (Sunday) to now I think for me personally, it’s been hard for me not to find myself more upset the more I think about it,” the Miami Dolphins coach said Monday. Everybody loses. That’s the saddest part of this incident. Everybody comes out looking bad or feeling worse because Miami-Dade police overreacted,...

MIAMI GARDENS — Miami Dolphins fans are at the point where they get nervous about their ability to watch games that aren’t played on Sunday afternoons, such as Thursday night’s game against the Buffalo Bills at Hard Rock Stadium.
