No. Remember we're basing this off 2 games only.

Who at this point cares anymore? This is a laughable melodrama that goes on and on. Once you cut the umbilical cord, life is a lot better. I used to cry when this team lost, now it's comic relief. We now know what it's like to be fans of the Browns. If you chart the moves of ownership since Wayne Huizenga bought the team and now that Ross owns it, it is incompetence cubed, ineptitude elevated to symphonic levels. You're left wondering how these men ascended to their positions of extreme economic privilege with judgement so awful. I don't absolve the romanticized Robbies either, they let Shula run the organization without accountability to anyone.
Huizenga bought the team and instead of showing Shula the door, he gives him one final year and carte blanche in free agency, to a man who had demonstrated himself to be one of the worst personnel guys in the league for years. So Huizenga allows Shula to blow out the salary cap before pushing him out the door for Jimmy Johnson. He hires Johnson, a good move, then forbids him to trade Marino, a bad move, then talks the guy out of quitting after his 3rd year when it became obvious his fire had gone out after a personal tragedy involving his mother. He then compounds the situation by bringing in Wannstadt, then guaranteeing Wanny the HC/GM gig when Wannstadt had one of the worst 5-year runs of any coach in NFL history when in Chicago. Then he keeps him around in the name of "stability", then finally gets rid of him, then idles his jet in Baton Rouge for something like 6-8 hours while Nick Saban goes back and forth about leaving LSU (if you've got to talk a guy into coming to work for you, he doesn't really want the job). Then we all know how that ended. Then it gets super-bad, Cam Cameron and Randy Mueller, then another star****er hire in a semi-retired Bill Parcells hellbent on stealing money from Huizenga. Then the team is sold, Ross instead of cleaning house, tries to build a relationship with the Parcells crew and has tolerated the remaining vestiges of that regime ever since. In the meantime he embarrasses himself and the franchise with his ham-fisted courting of Harbaugh, then decides to keep Sparano around for another year when everyone knew he was a lame duck, then the Fisher debacle.
That ladies and gentleman is a brief synopsis of the history of the Miami Dolphins the last 20-years. Embarrassing, sickening, anger-inducing and yet people still give the franchise enough support to let it limp on. They continue to abuse themselves. Turn off the tube, stop buying the merch, stop buying tickets to the games, go take a hike, lose some weight, play with your kids, walk the dog, go to Europe, climb a mountain, jump out of a plane, raft Snake Canyon, sail the Caribbean, but whatever you do, stop supporting this trash.

No you're not, you're basing it on 2 games in a greater context, 2 games within the totality of the whole, nothing is analyzed in a vacuum and when someone attempts to do that they're intentionally engaging in sleight of hand. The Dolphins, needing to win one game to get into the playoffs, scored 7-points in 2 games against opponents who were a combined 14-18! With the last game being at home. Unacceptable. Inexcusable. Proof of gross incompetence considering the opponents the Dolphins were facing.

I've stopped supporting the team financially for a while now. But hey, I can't help it. I really like watching football. I can't look away.

Thank god, I know some of u want everyone out; but it's pretty obvious to me all we need is a new offense and some o linemen and I trust Ireland to get that job done. Any time we've been talent deficient at a position and needed it fixed in the offseason Jeff's done the job; wr and corner were our biggest issues this offseason they were addressed well
western ny you cant be serious?? jeff will get the job done fixing the o? the o has sucked for the past 5 years if you havent noticed and the defense is getting worse every year and the 2013 draft class was a complete disaster. but you have faith in ireland fixing this team? wow only on finheaven can you read this sh*t. just unbelievable.

Marino deserves better than being associated with this current **** show.
