This year will end with no more than 6 wins. Hopefully the easier schedule will benefit us, and teams will underestimate us like 2008
 
hopefully we can get eric berry, taylor mays, mcclain, and spikes. this team needs serious help. whata joke.
 
Guys.... We've lost to 2 undefeated teams, and played both VERY well. We will get 8 or 9 wins. This was our last really tough game.
 
6 wins? Overdramatic. Let's see we almost beat 2 elite super bowl favorite teams[well we can still beat the saints, but its looking bad] rest of our schedule- Bills, Jets, Panthers, Buccaneers, Titans, Texans, Pats x2, Steelers. All of those teams are worse than the Colts/Saints, the Pats may be on the same level but im not convinced.
 
28-12

that is our opponents record so far

we are a good team that will not get blown out

we will not lose to bad teams

we will play great against good teams

we will lose to great team

ATL started hot and look great at time and even though we did everything to lose we didnt get killed

IND are undefeated and might be the best team in the NFL

SD lost our QB and asked our backup to come in to win it

BUF we beat a bad team good

NY beat a promising yet over-hyped team with a young QB

NO lost to a great team that we could have beat (TS shouldn't have called that TO)
 
Yeah seriously, we lost to the 6-0 Saints and 6-0 Colts by a couple of plays, not the Chiefs or the Bucs. Chill out.
 
* We looked like a high school team on the next to last drive, running play action on 4th and 13.

Then on the last drive, down by 2 scores, Henne acted as if it were a felony to look more than 5 yards downfield. I was chuckling to myself at that point, thinking of the Miami bettors with their +6, needing Chad Henne to bail them out with a backdoor cover and he's throwing parallel passes. :lol:

Brutal loss but come on, if you can't laugh at the totality of that collapse I feel sorry for you.

* I don't like to invest too much energy in the Dolphins. Simply not worth it when the ceiling is so low given current roster realities. Today I was more involved than typical because New Orleans is still unbeaten. As long as the Colts and Saints remain that way I'll steam at the Dolphins blowing 4th quarter leads.

* Recently there have been threads regarding Ronnie and Ricky approaching Morris and Csonka on the all time rushing list. I can't seem to remember either one of those guys with a grin after blowing a huge lead in a pivotal home game. Yet there was Ronnie, no problem with it whatsoever. It's one of the reasons I simply don't care for the guy, regardless of the many things he does well. Those '70s teams would have been devastated, to a man, after a waste like today.

* It was awesome to see Shockey clobber people out there and get emotional. Many conventional wisdom fans love to rip him, to the point he's actually an underrated player these days.

* Every home game should be 1 PM, if allowed an option. I wasn't at the Dolphins game today but I did attend the similarly scheduled (3:30 PM) Canes start against Clemson on Saturday. The temperature and shade changed dramatically at late halftime of that Canes game, from unbearable to comfortable. I immediately projected to today and the Dolphins game. The road team benefits tremendously when that sun is down, like being unleashed with a second wind. I bet New Orleans heavily today at halftime, partially because of what I saw yesterday afternoon, and also given the realities of the end of the first half today. I would have been shocked if the Dolphins had held on, given the fragility of the team and the Henne vs. Brees aspect, which was going to surface once it was only 24-10.

* The stadium is our biggest liability. That is forever ignored or downplayed on this board. When it empties at halftime the third quarter seems more like advantage roadies and not merely neutral. I have doubts we'll ever win anything of importance, playing in a glorified neutral site. Dolphins gave up 46 today and the Canes 40 yesterday, both at home while blowing a late lead. Try to find anything similar in the Orange Bowl. I know, it's always irrelevant, the players make the difference, not the stadium. We'll continue to hear that song and dance through one mediocre bland cement season after another.
 
Ronnie is always smiling, I doubt he was giving a stand up routine out there. Probably trying to laugh off the pain. I saw shots of him looking pissed and angry at times.

You want Henne to chuck it deep on covered receivers? When not there you check down to make the next snap a manageble distance. He did what he could on that last drive, wide open dropped passes do not help.

So now it's the stadium's fault
NOT OUR PLAYERS
NOT THE COACHING
I thought in my 52 years I have heard everything
 
It's the same old Dolphins that get big leads and then blow it in the end. Remember the huge Jets comeback with Testaverde about 8 or 9 years ago???.... although, the team is getting a lot better, but they are extremely bi-polar in their attitudes. Tough team kicking *** and then within one second..... a bunch of ******* with moping faces who can't stop the offense. The End. They'll still probably get 8 wins though.
 
I think this was so demoralizing the team can't recover and we fall into one of those 6 o 7 in a row loss streaks
