I mean really....all this time during the offseason, we praised Nick Saban, Ronnie Brown, Linehan, and the rest of the team, when all of you dolfans were available to coach, and play runningback,wideout, QB, and any other position known to man. What was the owner of this team thinking this offseason (making all of the moves he made)? All along scientists had mixed the dna of Don Shula, Barry Sanders, and Dan Marino to come up with each and every one of my fellow Dolfans, who continuously seem to bash this team ? You guys seem to know so much more about the game, and probably have so much more talent than any of these guys ever did. If nothing else, we could have used your expertise on draft day. Please, one of you (any of you) contact the Wayne H., and tell him that this season is practically over after one loss. Maybe he will finally see that you all know more about football than any of his so called "professionals", so we can forfeit the rest of the games, and get what ever draft pic you "know" will be a superstar.

Or hey, I've got an idea................. let's just shut up with all the "sky is falling" talk, put some faith in the coaches, and players, and enjoy the season for once. Naw, scratch that.....that's a silly idea.
 
A fan message board is for discussion. If everyone just agreed with everything the team does and did, just sat there praised with every post this board would be vacant in a week. Im not sure what the campaigning for everyone to fall in line with one opinion and post only what the rank and file want to hear comes from but Im as tired of that as I am the 'Ronnie is a bust' posts. Generally you can tell what a post is about by reading the title, just don't read it, it is really that simple. Just because there are fans that don't agree with your idea of what a fan is doesnt make them bad people or bad fans, just not your type. Avoid their posts or ignore them.

Your exactly correct, discussion.....not BASHING!! We are all dolfans, and should support this organization from the owner, right down to the practice dummies...

So, what you are saying is, by the end of next year when the Dolphins go deep in the playoffs, there won't be anyone left here in finheaven ;)
 
Wow, the initial post in this thread is really a step in the right direction as far as stopping th nonsense posts. I am sure that condescendingly mocking and bashing other forum members is exactly what FinheavenAJ wants :rolleyes:
 
I don't have a problem with folks expressing their concerns, good or bad.

I say get it aired out and done with. I'll dedicate myself as a voice of reason, and make it a point to remain optomistic, because although a "go team!" atmosphere is great, it doesn't always apply.
Many I assume, are just purging disappointment over a loss.
I AM however, concerned when it spills over into the stands, specifically at this point in the season.

Its my perspective, that to have members suppress their opinions here, however valid or invalid, may not be altogether wise.
Stewing over deficiencies, may only lead to eventually airing those disatisfactions from the grandstands, when upon hearing the first boo, a weeks worth of whine is finally released, and rained down on our team, instead of in here, where it could of been diffused.

Therefore, I say b***h here, not there.
As members of this fine forum, it would be appreciated from those of you lucky enough to attend the games, to take it upon themselves to be examples for those fair weather folks. To try to incite any of the bodies simply there filling a seat. The lathargic invitees of "well off" season ticket holders, who could really care less who wins.
I can only commend those of you, who stuck it out through that endless season of hell, and there came a point when expressing resentment was not only understandable, but expected.
But at this point, its key for the hardcore fans to step it up. To help generate the benchwarmers into stomping their feet, and pumpin out decibels, despite any current disatisfaction you may have.

Infact, here in Cali, were expecting you guys to carry our voice.
Trust me, were bringin down the roofs out here, its just that 2600 hundred miles, has a way of buffering it down some. ;)
 
im not gunna let it bother me anymore, they can say all the stupid stuff they want..... it's time I utilize the ignore feature and let them learn for themselves.

I'm sure you have better ideas.
 
Not only that, but technically (since it's known that players visit this site), many of these negative posters have made numerous personal attacks towards them. I guess that's okay though.

This really shouldn't bother you scrap....there will always be the occasional jerk here and there that just can't help but bash our team. I think it is a combination of disappointment and frustration that cause some of us fans to come on the site and basically just vent. I can tell you right now, there are literally dozens of post that I just ignore when I read them, and it works for me. The majority of us on here wants the best for our team, some of us are just a little harsh when we say it. Finally, sometimes the bashers are entirely wrong, they can occsionally hit the nail on the head.
