Yesterday was a tough day for me with the playoffs being at stake... It ruins my entire week when the Dolphins lose, and I'm sure it's the same for most of you. A loss like yesterday's has the potential to dampen my spirits for a month. I guess it's just one of the downsides of being so emotionally invested in your favorite football team. It's always tough when the loss happens during a usually otherwise happy holiday season.

My question to the rest of you is how do you cope with your Dolphin Depression?

I usually ignore all highlights, articles, recaps, interviews etc. on Monday and try to get it out of my head by Tuesday. I don't think that's going to work this time.

I became a big fan in the offseason between 2003 and 2004. The losses don't hurt anymore. I felt weirdly out of place when we did well last year.
 
Today sux....I'm still so F****** pissed we lost. So close! Drank like a fish last night to forget but feel like sh*t today. I'm gunna do lots of cardio later to get rid of some of the pain.
 
well, my 18 month old comes up to me and smiles and gives me a high five and hug as if to say, "dad, no worries. we'll kick their a$$ next week." "pick your head up"
 
Yea it is tough all week on me as well..Its hard to watch highlighs of any game in fear that i have to relive our loss all over again..

We are not out yet baby...

Gotta believe
 
I feel bad the rest of the day but move on starting Monday. I used to get emotional when I was a kid/teenager but there's no point in it now. If they win I feel like a champ, if they don't, it's on to the NBA for me.

Thats what we need more of....perspective. It's just a game, keep it in perspective. There are more important things in life. :aww:
 
even worse is that this game is 100% gonna be replayed on nfl network and theres no way im gonna be able to stay away from it.

even when i tell myself i wont rewatch the dolphin game again, i always do. its a disease.
 
It sinks in my stomach...feels like I got kicked in the bag pretty hard...I don't think any loss could be as worse as a loss getting you out of the playoffs :(

Although there were a lot bad losses for us this year, I won't even get into that. And even though the refs helped the Titans out in this game, Nate Washington's TD, Camarillo's Penalty...we still had a chance regardless to get into field position to get a FG and win and continue the playoff push...but yes I feel like sh**.
 
It's a downer no doubt, especially a game like last night that we should have done much better in. I just deal with it by watching more football.
 
Im usually bad....but this season, we really are a young team growing. I've been a lot better than past years.

I know this isn't the thing to say after yesterday's loss but...I'm just happy we have a QB for a while.
