My Initial Hope for an Undefeated Season is GONE!

GET OVER IT!!!

I remember a poster saying getting a 40 burger put on us would be good for the team to use as incentive. He damn near got his wish! I hate that, but you know he may be right. The problem that I saw, as I left the sports bar at 0-17, was a kind of limited team unity and some players starting to get off focus.

The hike hitting Tannehill in the shoulder is a perfect example of what I saw happening piecemeal on the field by both the offense and the defense. The center must have been thinking of what he was going to do after the snap and assumed the actual snap would be "as per usual". RONG!!! Tannehill was still looking around the offensive setup instead of focusing on receiving the snap. RONG!!!

NOW WHAT WILL WE DO?


I AM SO GLAD YOU ASKED!

I like to think this kind of EMBARRESING game will cause the players to re-focus on what they should be doing during a game and not let the moment get the better of them. Maybe they'll take a pass on social media when it turns on them next week. This isn't college. GROW UP.

It has taken the Patriots 2 games to recover from their doldrums, I would like to see us recover prior to our next game.

Since my utopian goal for an undefeated season has been trashed, I want to establish another goal. Any time we lose a game we follow it up with two back to back winning games - minimum. This should at least get us to an 11-5 season.

A lot of our players have just had their first "bad day" this year. Unfortunately, it was all in the same game. Maybe that's better then them having their bad games strung out in an unpredictable fashion as to where or when. I can't imagine anything else that could possibly be a better teaching experience about the necessity of their playing as a team, except possibly for this coming week, where they will experience what I believe will be truly "insightful" learning sessions from our coaching staff.

There, that's better.

My sorrow from today's game is now gone and my normal reasonable level of Dolphins optimism is back.
 
Its nice if they take it as a learning experience.

The injuries on the other hand, combined with a lack of depth will likely derail the season.

Yes, the Dolphins were awful today and basically didn't show up. Still the team in 3-1 in a conference that has no real dominant team. Time to move on to Cincinnati. Hopefully we get some better game planning by the coaches and more effort from the players. The Bengals will be flying high after their come from behind win in the final seconds today. The Dolphins better be angry and determined after what happened today. IMO that game vs the Bengals is must win.
 
Didn't watch a second of the game because I'd already "seen" the outcome.

I know. I'm nothing more than a greedy "what's in it for me" fan -- but at my age I don't need

unnecessary aggravation, disappointment and why watch FIXED GAMES?

Did see the li'l piggie Kraft in it's spiffy pen (aka owners luxury box) picking his nose (as usual) and laughing...

On the other hand some might say "reality check" and WAKE UP time because 38-7 is absolute rubbish.

Can't stand that old druken cheating scumbag. Hope one of the young ladies he hangs around calls him out for sexual harassment. That would be fitting right when Brady is calling it quits while that "dynasty" starts dying.
