Beam Me Up Outa Here!
Up til now it was painful living and dying (figuratively of course) with every first down, successful play, missed tackle, other miscues and bad ref calls (on both sides of the ball). We had something to play for and a lot to prove.

At this point, maybe the Phins will catch fire and achieve what's now improbable, but given the personnel decisions up above and on the field, the dubious calls and refusals to try anything different, I have morphed into a cynical state.

As a result, I will watch the games going forward without dread, without foreboding, and essentially without an emotional investment. I will anticipate and expect worst yet happy to be pleasantly surprised otherwise... which as generally a cynic, is the way I approach many IRL issues.

I'm looking forward to tomorrow's game; would be thrilled to be pleasantly surprised, but not let myself get upset. (I know, easy for me to say now, LOL)

It’s called PTSD
 
I have given up on the GM and I am savoring a win or loss.

It is a win win for me as of now. Lmao. Yes, this is how far we have fallen as a franchise. When I said Gase was trash for years, a lot of you ridiculed me. Same thing is happening with Chris Grier now.

Same here. Watching their pathetic play against the Colts, I decided that anyone responsible for this debacle needs to be held accountable, and the only way that would happen is with losses. So, while I'd love to see a victory each week, I'm not going to get upset when they play bad. I'm going to laugh, and enjoy the clown show.

I haven’t watched but one Dolphin game from start to finish since Tannehill left - Tua Vs Kyler and maybe 2 in the last ten years I call that cynical

At practice someone should flip a ball to our GM and then shout, “smear the Grier!!!” That’s one way to run him out - in an ambulance.
 
I got to that point before the Indy game...after the HC gave the game to the Raiders (just my opinion, I could be wrong). That was the call that told me this staff isn't ready for primetime. I have no expectations going forward except to hopefully see a few very nice plays amongst the lesser play.

However, when Tua comes back, I'm 100% going to have hope again...can't help it...just how I'm wired.
