I've been a fan of the team since I watched football.
I was born in '67 so you do the math.
I listened to that ****** fight against the Jags on my way up to Victoria
from Corpus on Sunday, and I have to say, I was never more ****ing embarassed
for this team, it's fans, and, myself, honestly.
I know, I know.....
"Bye"
"There's the door"
"See ya"
I ain't trippin. Say what you have to say to me.
There is no excuse for that performance.
There have been way, way, too many of those in the last few years than I
can handle, and that one was the last.
I'd already begun pushing away from the table in the last few years emotionally,
separating myself from the team....Which sucks. It's such a part of my youth, and
life.
Now, it's kinda one of those things where the main character on "Hurt Locker"
talked to his kid about.
I can't invest in this team any more.
I've got other things to invest in. I'll always love the Dolphins, but
There's the Red Zone channel and it's vastly more entertaining
to watch.
I totally understand, Goon.
It hurts like heck to watch the team you grew up watching and learned to love in the glory days of Dan the Man and the high flying offense... and watching them now, make incredibly stupid decision after decision on personnel, see it coming, call it before it happens, while it happens, and tell exactly why said item will fail... only to be told, "Oh, the coaches know more!" "Have a little faith," etc.
How many years has it been of horrid drafting, horrid coaching, horrid OL play, soft D, no weapon O -- like a train wreck in slow motion on Groundhog Day.
Over and over and over again.
The reason people flip out (for those of you who are clueless) is that EVERY weakness that developed over the last three years and that we called over the off-season was on FULL ON display against the Jags and Skins.
It doesn't take a rocket scientist to know that this team has as many huge holes today as it did three years ago. And an OL that may be the worst in 4 years, as far as getting the QB hit and killed and unable to sustain any running game.
And LBs that are the worst in the league as a group.
One real safety, the rest chmps.
One real CB who is on the downside of his career and washes out late season -- the rest chumps, headlined by a second round draft pick who has more penalties than passes defended in his career.
You see this kind of thing over and over and over again, and it feels like it's time to let the door swing closed on supporting the team.
So, you are understood, Goon.
Blessings, bro, either way you decide to go.
