Never seen such a mess before in my life. Defensive line is nonexistent. Hell put Reggie Bush on the line. He’s doing us no good anywhere else. QB takes too long to throw the ball. Linebackers and corners can’t cover anybody Receivers can’t catch. I am embarrassed to be a fan. Now after we get our collective ***** handed to us by Tebow and the Broncos I will be done and will not watch the dolphins again till the draft. By that time we should have a new coach and Gen. Mgr. You youngblood homers can say whatever you want, Paid my dues with this team for many years, wins & losses, but this is ridiculous

Would almost ask the league to move the team to LA, change the name and the colors. At least then I would have some decent history to look back on instead of watching this terminal Train Wreck keep pulling into the station
 
As a long time fan myself, I understand you're frustration. This just isn't fun. It's @@@@ing groundhog day. The same @@@@ every game. What makes it particularly galling is that this team is not only unwatchable, but unlikable as well. It is clear they have quit, and that our head coach is a complete buffoon.

Hang in bud. Better days are ahead (I think).
 
2007?? Dude come on. Nick Saban years?? Its been bad except for our Lucky 2008 year.
 
Im a long time fan myself. This is clearly rock bottom, there is not even the feeling of hope anymore. I mean holy crud, the only hope fans are experiencing is the expectation of next season, and POSSIBLY a top notch qb.
Every Sunday used to be that we were in contention every game. It may not have ended that way, but that was always the feeling going in. These days Im like so many of us here, just numb.
 
I'm 48yrs old and have been a fan since childhood ... Things never have been the same since Shula ... Wayne H. while he was an owner that never meddled, he certainly was taken advantage of by guy's like Jimmy Johnson and Bill Parcells ... while Jimmy Johnson was responsible for the successful drafts that made the Dolphins into a playoff caliber team, his head never was really into coaching and eventually left ... Saban was a guy that was TALKED into becoming an NFL Coach by Wayne H., while Saban was still unsure when he accepted the job ... Wayne should have looked elsewhere instead of going with the NAME Coach and it back fired on him ... Bill Parcells used his friendship with Wayne to get the Football Operations job and convinced Wayne that his GUY'S where the right men for the job, when in fact it was more of the same. Coordinators like Cam Cameron, Wanny and now BP's own man in Sparano were in over their respective heads as Head Coaches ... I can't blame Wayne for trying, but in hindsight, BP and Johnson used their own names to convince Wayne that they could do the job ... IMHO, Wayne and his quest to win allowed himself to be taken advantage of by these idiots ... Too bad because we the fans are paying the price for Wayne H's desires to win ... I'm not convinced that the talent on the team now; is less than in 2007, I'm more of the belief, these players aren't playing for this Coach ... Until Ross somehow figures out a way to clean up this MESS, it's going to be a long time before there is a consistent winner in Miami, like the good ole' day's of Shula!!! I'm still a fan in spite of all the losing, and will always root, even though I'm sick to my stomach doing it .. but I believe that better days are ahead ... starting with a smarter owner and getting the right people in place to run things and coach these players up .. If Miami does get the #1 pick ... my heart will be racing because LUCK still can go back to college for 1 more season ... and all this would have been for nothing, but a good puke in the bowl!!!!
 
It has never been this bad. We're talking about the last 7 years in general. Three consecutive losing seasons now? 1-11 in our last 12 home games? A team that HAS talent, but has such a bleak future. 2007 was tolerable because you knew most of the team sucked and would be gone the next year anyway. This team is HEALTHY, features many players we all expected to be bright spots, and they still are awful.

Sean Smith? Vontae Davis? Cam Wake? Jake Long? Jared Odrick? - These guys aren't getting it done. That's scary.
 
Fan since 1974, and only twice have I felt this utterly hopeless: in 1988 and 2007.

They broke my heart, Fredo.

complete regression in every way. our young players have shown zero improvement this year.
 
It's definitely tough. I contribute some to karma. Things like looking for a head coach while having one tenured. Things like being happy for field goals instead of touchdowns. In today's NFL, a FG in the redzone is like a punt . . . it surely isn't something to celebrate and our head coach celebrates them and expects his team to get a vote of confidence from it. He needs to wake up . . . his lack of expectations and his exuberance of getting field goals just isn't tolerable anymore. They are only acceptable in the redzone when its to win the game . . . zero seconds on the clock. Sparano plays losing football and he marches out a losing product every time his team steps onto the field.

Yea Andrew Luck will be great, but as long as Sparano is gone its a brighter future either way.

And I like Sparano's passion, its something I have always liked about him, but he is too Bill Parcells set in his ways . . . and Bill Parcells football isn't the way to win games in the 21st century.
 
Been a fan for over 40 years and haven't seen a stretch of losing like this (last 8 years). But last night was as brutal as the Patriot loss last year to end the season.

yeah, fan since '78... this is worse than '88, '04, '07...
this has got to be the worst ever!
 
I think what killed it for me was watching Wake and Burnett jogging instead of actually running to try and tackle Holmes...absolutley disgusting

If they move to LA, please keep the name and the colors...as well as the Logo.

LA fans would appreciate the team and it's history
