Obviously we are not used to losing. We, as Dolphin fans, have enjoyed rooting for one of the most consistent, solid teams in the NFL. We have become so used to winning, so used to being a contender year in and year out that even the thought of one season at the bottom seems unfathomable. Perhaps we were all naive to believe the we could continue to "patch, patch win"? Maybe we were all to blind to see that we were not one or two players from a super bowl but a team that was making a final grasp for that brass ring before it fell off into the abyss?
Regardless of what we thought, felt or believed we all have found ourselves sitting at a table eating humble pie. Maybe we are not just eating it but are swimming in it. Better yet, it feels as if we are being grabbed by the hair and being repeatedly slammed into it. Nevertheless, we all agree it doesn't taste good but it is what it is.
There is talk of replacing the Coach, General Manager, Quarter Back, Running Back, Offensive line, water boy, mascot, or parking attendant in an effort to some how turn things around and salvage what is increasing, at this point, looking like a long miserable season. The truth is no change at this point is going to salvage this team. The only thing that can do that is the team that we have. We all could learn a thing of two from the good people of Florida. When the storm comes its time to board up the windows, bring in the dog, hunker down and ride out the storm and try to pick up the pieces when it's over.
Welcome to 2004. The pie is fresh and hot from the oven. Pull up a chair, there is enough to go around. Can someone please pass the cool whip? Oh, I forgot, the Steelers intercepted it.
