MIAMI (AP) — The Miami Dolphins run wind sprints and pass patterns. They run sweeps and draws. They run out of bounds and run out the clock.

Mostly they seem to run in place.

The Dolphins have been at or near .500 for three consecutive years under coach Joe Philbin, showing little or no progress toward ending their playoff drought. They were the only AFC team to finish 8-8 this season, and they went 4-4 at home, 4-4 on the road, 3-3 in the AFC East and 6-6 in the conference.

That made them the NFL's most mediocre team.

"It's hard," defensive tackle Randy Starks said. "But it has been like this since I've been here."

Actually, the most recent playoff appearance came in 2008, Starks' first year with the Dolphins. But they're 43-53 since.

For the second year in a row, a dud of a December ruined the Dolphins' postseason chances. They lost three of their final four games and were widely regarded as underachievers, even in their own locker room.

"Not making the playoffs with such a good team and good people, it's sad," safety Jimmy Wilson. "We're 8-8, an average team. That's not what we wanted when Philbin came here."

With Philbin remaining the coach, you can pencil this in at the end of next season too.
 
lol let's not forget 2-2 vs the NFC North, 2-2 vs AFC West and 1-1 in their 3rd place games, to go along with their 8-8 record, 4-4 home record, 4-4 road record, 6-6 conference record, and 3-3 division record which by the way they got by splitting with every division foe. The mediocrity is written everywhere and Ross can't see it. Too busy making sure Michigan is taken care of.
