The amount of sky is falling rhetoric already is amazing.

3 key things to keep in mind:
  1. Yesterday's refs were horrible. Some extremely pivotal terrible calls screwed us, namely the non-existent pick on Stills, and the Godchaux holding call.

  2. Our team has recently:
    -Had their families displayed and home opener canceled
    -Traveled to California, New York and London the three weeks after that horrific storm, all the while dealing with the aftermath of the storm.

  3. We looked much worse than this at this point last year. Let's keep in mind, with these new rules on practices it is tough for many teams to get into a rhythm until their 4th or 5th game. Not to mention we inserted a brand new QB a few weeks before the season started.

Is it time to be nervous? Sure.

Is it time to freak out, boycott the team, and call for Gase's head? Hell no.

Give them some time here.

Besides, what good is it to whine and bitch and get up in arms over something you don't control?

We have a pretty important stretch coming over the next few weeks. Ironically, last year the game that had everyone giving up was a home game against Tennessee, current company included. We came out the next week and put up 200 rushing yds on the vaunted Steelers and went on one of the most impressive runs in recent Dolphin history. Let's see what happens.

Keep your heads up Fins fans, there's a lot of football left.

No, I don't believe so.
 
Some good Call outs, but everyone on our team went thru what you the last 3-4 weeks of trials and tribulations, not just the Offensive O.

Western NY. You are battle tested. I was born and raised in Syracuse. Stay positive or Die....
 
I don't know what is going on but this offense is clown shoes right now. If fact it's like they have the clown shoes on the wrong feet even.
 
Season is over if they stick with Cutler. I don't give a **** about the referees or the travel they've had to go to.

You say the Dolphins looked worse at this point last year. Let's compare.

2016: 1-2. 64 points scored, 67 points allowed. 1,097 yards gained, 1,245 yards allowed. 848 passing yards gained, 249 rushing yards gained.
2017: 1-2. 25 points scored, 57 points allowed. 747 yards gained, 1,050 yards allowed. 548 passing yards gained, 199 rushing yards gained.

Yes I'm tired of excuses of the Timmons saga, hurricane and travel. We won our first game despite those issues. The defense has done a damn good job despite those issues. Having 2 more Timmons clones on the roster wouldn't have kept us from getting skunked the last two weeks. This is on coaching, execution and effort.
 
I do think there's something to the 3 straight road games, cross country, back across the country, then across the Atlantic.

I expect them to look like an NFL offense next week.

Thank you...one voice of sanity.

I'm as disappointed as anybody...but my money is on another turn around.

Expecting Cutler to be in sync so quickly...with very little preseason minutes was a mistake.
 
Let's see what happens next week is all I'm saying. We had a nice win against the chargers, and a couple straight up duds. We have our home opener against a reeling Titans squad. If we can't get up for this game...real concern sets in.
 
I will say the defense showed up. They missed on some plays, but managed to keep the game in reach for the offense.
Don't want to talk about the offense.
