I'm sorry, but there is literally no reason to watch anymore, but I guess I still will. We should have fired Philbin at the end of the season (heck, the season before), but instead we keep him. We start off bad and should have been sellers, but no, we don't, we keep everyone. Now we are out of it and there is nothing else to look forward to. No young players to watch developing. No chance of a miracle. No hope for next season to be any better.
 
One of many wasted seasons over the past couple decades. Getting harder to watch this team every year. When your team hasn't won a playoff game since 2000 and you have to watch those assclowns up in New England in the playoffs every damn year, it makes you want to say the hell with the NFL.
 
Lazor should have been out the door with Philbin & Coyle!

Usually we can hold out hope that we an stay in the playoffs picture til late in the season. This year is just sad
 
It was just baffling to me on how we more or less ignored two of our biggest areas of need OL and LB. Yeah we brought Suh in but he needs help and our LBs suck. Our OL again is in the cellar . Its no wonder why we cant run or pass. Sorry but last years draft should have been more about addressing needs. My opinion anyways. And then you throw in a RB who came to us with injuries just makes for a bad recipe .
 
When is the Campbell extension coming?

Become an NFL fan and watch more non-Fin games. Its crazy the amount of good football that's being played in places outside of Miami. Its been a good season for football in general. Don't put yourselves into a rut by solely watching this albatross of a team.

Naaah.....that doesn't work. We are Fins fans, regardless of how bad it gets....

Miami started the season with a personnel department that refused to fill/upgrade the major holes that should have been filled last year and a coaching staff led by an inept Head Coach who is in WAY over his head. His offense constantly calls 3 yard passes on 3rd and long and expects to convert for a 1st down, establishing a running game is a big no-no, the Top 5 rushing defense that Philbin inherited is now a laughingstock in the Bottom 5, and his best CB is "vertically-challenged". How anyone could think that Philbin's Dolphins could ever be a playoff team is beyond me. Philbin is gone, but everything he built is still in place. Ross must clean house, and the new GM will need to overhaul most of the roster to get rid of Philbin's guys (they're the ones that have been starting in Miami but would be lucky to be a back-up on any other team). This should have been done during the offseason (or the previous offseason) so that the new regime could install their offense and defense, and the personnel guys could prepare for the draft. But NOOOOOOO! Ross waited until after the season started to fire Philbin, and now he has personally wasted this entire season.
 
a bad organization. Bad decisions. All around the past years. Saban, Wanny, Brees, Ronnie Brown, Jake Long, Jamar Fletcher, passing on numerous coaches because of one extra year of loyalty.

$60m guaranteed to Suh and $45m to Tannehill. They made moves as if they were 12-4 last year and needed one more player when in fact they were mediocre and need a lot of players. They have had a bad run defense now for a full season daying back to last year this time. Somehow opposing coaches know what to do and internally we dont

This organization had the absolute inside track to get Luck in 2012. All they had to do was continue to lose. A franchise changing qb. And what did they do? They won. Now you want them to win and they lose.

They are the only team in the NFL who havent cared about the importance of interior linemen and guards. They only think pressure comes from the outside. Defenses pressure the middle all day and they refuse and cant make adjustments.

After Hickey had a great draft last year and was starting to clean up the mess Ireland made, they add another complicated layer with Tannenbaum. He gets the big splash and has a horrible draft with Parker not even playing this year. They draft a WR after rebuilding that same position. Made no sense. Ross isnt happy unless there are so many cooks in the kitchen that you cant move

They had Brandon Marshall and Vontae Davis and traded them for picks that didnt work out. They let Clay go. Now they are dilusional that Tannehill will all of a sudden be elite. They awarded him not after a great season but a 7-9 season. Made no sense.

New Orleans will fire Peyton and wont resign Brees at $30m. Miami needs both. Draft a future qb. They need a coach who will bring a staff instead of clowns. They need to let go of Wake and Grimes. They need play making inside linebackers and corners. They need to stop extending players that are in their late 30s.

Ross is an owner who does things half way all the time. He is covering half the roof. Always fires half the people and always splits front office duties in half. He probably puts half n half in his lattee too

The dilemma will be the same dilemma. Miami will hire a coach that wont be allowed to manipulate a roster because of the front office's decisions. That will in turn cause many coaches to pass on us. How can an org make the same mistakes and be in the same cycle? Unless everyone is gone the process wont be fixed

Thank Ross for keeping goofball Philbin. We could've had a good coach in here and been ahead of the game. Now we're stuck with looking for a new coach yet again and have to suffer through a few more losing seasons before things get better.
 
And I am damn sick of us having a roster full of wussies on both sides of the ball. Buffalo's physical play made our team look like a bunch of scared little girls. They ran the ball down our throat for 266 yards??!! Are you fricken kidding me?? We really don't have ANY physical players on our roster outside of maybe Suh, Landry, Jones and Ajayi. The rest of the players are wussies and don't know how to hit, play physical or fight back when another team keeps punching you in the mouth. We just layed there and took the beating and did nothing about it. Disgusting and heads need to roll.

Oh, but it does work. You don't have to turn in your fan card to watch other teams. It just makes Sundays better. I forgot what good football looked like.
 
Shelby, Sheppard, Vernon, Mitchell, and Misi were all getting abused over and over again. They all played like ******* on defense. Then you have goofs like Jason Fox on the o-line who pretty much keeps our offense from doing a damn thing. It all makes me want to puke.
