Who has a slight bit of hope? Who wants to beat the s- out of the Jets this week, just so we can have one week with a slight bit of optimism? So we can start hearing things like, "Dolphins just needed confidence and things are starting to click."
I know it is a long to shot to turn the season around, but what if? Am I the only one who hates knowing that we can be out of the playoff race by week 7?
How as a true Miami fan can you sit and root for us to lose? Especially against the Jets. I just don't get it. I know that Luck could turn this franchise around. I know that losing all of our games will almost certainly give us that opportunity to draft him. To me that would be the bright spot about having an awful year, but not something to root for.
Give me one week where I can watch Sportscenter without wanting to throw up. Give me one week of hope. How nice would it be to just demoralize the Jets? It's just too early to completely give up. Stranger things have happened. You just never know.....
you know, i was actually thinking about this yesterday, as i have not been disappointed by the dolphins in 2 weeks due to the bye week.
here is why, as much as i would love to have some hope, i just cant barring a miracle.
right now, we are 0-4 with 4 conference losses. the absolute best we can go now is 12-4. to do so we would need to go on a 12 game win streak, which even the best of the best teams rarely do in a single season, let alone a team that lost its starting qb, and has all other sorts of issues. so thats not happening.
to go 11-5, we need to win 11 of our final 12 games. as i said above, that is even a hard feat for a great team to do in the nfl, so we basically have no shot at doing that.
that then leaves us at 10-6, and 10-6 and below with all the tiebreakers we will prob lose, and 10-6 prob not even being good enough to get into the playoffs even with tiebreakers, its just virtually impossible to even have the slightest bit of hope.
obviously i would love for this team to go 12-4 and all, but its so hard to envision that. we can watch every game and hope, but reality is, the way we are playing, it seems at most we will win is 4 games, and best case scenario is maybe we catch fire and go on a nice streak, but then fall short at like 8-9 wins, still very unlikely.
i would love andrew luck, but im not going to root against the fins to lose, because rooting has no barring. however, i just dont want us going 5-11 and winning enough games their to still be really bad but not bad enough for a franchise qb, but if that was the best case, id rather go 2-14 and secure the 1st overall pick.
