The Miami Dolphins will be missing several key players, once again, when they take the field for their final home game this season against the Buffalo Bills. 

Place kicker Dan Carpenter (who missed some major fgs earlier in the season, but has since been pretty good) has been placed on injured reserve with a groin injury.  He could actually be the biggest cog missing, since the Fins often have to settle for field goals, but former Charger Nate Kaeding has been picked up to replace Carpenter in the final two games (and maybe the playoffs...didn't you hear, Miami is ACTUALLY still alive mathematically). 

Of course that's not going to happen, after the Bills game, the Fins head out to New England to play the Patriots, who may still be bucking for a playoff bye week, meaning Tom Brady will be front and center...not on the bench, like you'd prefer. 

Despite the injuries, Miami was able to go out and dominate the Jaguars, who are just a crappy team.  The Bills aren't much better, but they'll put up a bigger fight.
