This team is playing like a team finally. Win or lose they give it their all. Its the first time that its not the defense vs offense. They are 1 team. The culture has finally changed. We finally know Tanne is our QB, we found our running back of the future and found the coach we have been looking for. We are playing way above our talent level and for a team with there best players injured they still go out and fight. Next season Gase can bring in more of his guys and fill the gaps. We are on our way up. Go Fins!
 
Agree. Even if we go 9-7 without playoffs, it was a total success. Build more through the draft and FA, there's no reason we shouldn't get better. This franchise is trending up, even if the h8ters hate it.
 
Looking at this roster I called for a 5-6 win season...we've made it to 7 so that, to me, says the coaching staff has squeezed out most of the talent from this group. That's a plus for Gase...usually we perform under expectations for the talent level.
 
Get to 8-8 or 9-7 and I'll be ecstatic. Good draft good fa, cut some dead always injured underperforming weight and we are rolling

Just imagine if injuries didnt derail our season. If Reshad was playing I guarantee Flacco does not carve our defense up as badly. We just really need LB's. Kiko cant do it by himself like he is trying to do.
 
I want a winning record and want to compete for the playoffs every year regardless of what this JAG (referring to myself) predicted to begin the season. So far we are on that track, but we need to find a way to remain competitive to finish out and garner a few more wins before I consider the season a success.
 
Yeah, they exceeded my expectation. I think I started out thinking 4-12 to 6-10. At 1 & 4, I genuinely doubted we'd win more than 3 games total.

The offense improved a lot, the defense got worst.

The LB's, Howard and Reshard being hurt is the reason for that. We have no depth. Gase needs another off season to create that depth.
 
Besides Marino, Zach Thomas is my favorite dolphin of all time. I started watching football when I was 7 and it was 1985. Dont get me wrong, our teams of the 70's were awesome but I didnt experience it. The thing I loved about Zach is he was always around the ball giving it his all. Kiko reminds me of that. I like the guy. He plays all out like Zach.
 
Pick up a O-lineman or two in free agency and draft all defense. I thought that is what we were going to do last year...
 
I agree....definitely exceeded my expectations so far.....but I want to see us compete and win over these last 4 games. Not being ungrateful or unappreciative for the success we have had so far (I pegged us at 5 wins this year), but now that we are 7-5....I want more.

just greedy I guess, but that is my right as a 53 year old, lifetime Dolphins fan.
 
Totally agree if we finally found our coach which is looking promising. This roster was upside down when he started so I figured 3-5 wins at most. The next issue is getting the players especially in the draft which means our GM must do a much better job without giving up so much to move around and finding impact players.
 
I'm good. I'm OK with 7-9, 8-8, 9-7. Whatever.

I demanded and received improvement. Quite a bit, actually. So everything else is a bonus.

The Ravens game was a kick in the balls. Not so much the loss, but the magnitude. It wasn't that Tannehill had a bad day, or the Oline, or the kicker, or the D.

It was that THE WHOLE ****ING TEAM had a bad day.

Disconcerting. Dolphins of the last few years.

So if the play these last four, and I mean ****ing PLAY, then I'm good, win or lose.
 
Complete success? I like some of the things that we've done. I believe in Gase but complete success might be a bit too far. We still have holes all over the place. Our best and only real pass rusher is getting old. Our LB's suck and our Db's can't cover. Our o-line can't stay healthy. We're going to need a DE, two LBs and one more corner at least on defense. If Jones leaves then add safety to that list. On offense we'll need to new starting guards and a TE. If by "complete success" you mean the record is better than you expected then ok, you got that but this is a team that has not won in 44 years so winning 8 games is not "complete success" to me and I'm not trying to be negative. Just the way I see it.

Ozzy rules!!
