I was just reading through the top ten issues or big mess Miami must clean up when I noticed that under former coach Joe Philbin, the Dolphins won just 13 of 25 games played at Sun Life Stadium. By way of comparison, the Patriots are 23-3 at home since the start of the 2012 season. How on heart does an owner wait so long to see his franchise run to the ground ? That is one of the biggest beef I have with this organisation. They are always afraid to make changes until its a little too late. I personally would have fired Phill after the Bills embarrassment. On the first game of the season, your OLine and Dline played so poorly. Did your make changes ? No! Same for second game, third and fourth games. Its like watching cancer grow.

Miami doesn't have a loud, boisterous crowd for home games like other teams do. But also, Patriots are cheaters...faulty receivers, coaches not able to communicate to the QB or MLB for offense or defense...rumors of lockers being bugged, etc, etc. Believe what you want about the Patriots at home but I have a lot of doubts about how legit that home record is.

Anyway, Miami's home stadium was never configured to give the team that "home crowd" advantage and after the reconfiguration we played our first home game to a mostly empty stadium since we had just lost to the Jags. If it ever gets full with Dolphin fans maybe we'll see if it has a positive effect.

the lone time I went to Joe Robbie the building was as loud as I have ever been in(and I have ben at a lot of stadiums). it has nothing to do w/ stadium configuration, it has to do w/ the quality of the team. if the team is good the fans will be back and loud.

But we had great home-field advantage under Shula and JJ.
 
Shula was 111-26-1 at the OB including 10-4 in postseason
he was 47-27 at JR including 3-1 in postseason
 
It's too hot out there, players shouldn't be expected to perform at high levels under those conditions. bubble.

definitely a much better winning percentage at the Orange Bowl with same coach

No question but he also had much better teams. 1985 they were 8-0 at home, 1986 is when they started to struggle and they wet 4-4 in the Orange Bowl that year. 1990 was their next playoff team and they went 7-1 at Joe Robbie.
 
The Buffalo home game this year, the one I went to, didn't allow us the fans a single moment to cheer outside of the opening possession. Buffalo scored on their first possession after Miami went 3 and out and it snowballed from there.

Win some god damn games CONSISTENTLY and there might be a home advantage yet again.
