Nobody Seems Jacked Up !

[finomenal]

Plain and simple? No one REALLY believes. After last week everyone is fearful that our most hated rival will come into our house with a crappy team and eliminate us from the playoffs. We are all scared. I know I am.

I sure don't. If they lost on Sunday, it wouldn't surprise me one bit. It's what they do.

My point is you can say they're not mentally tough or whatever but the simple fact is they got abused at the LOS by the Bills who have a far more superior OL and DL. Sometimes the matchups just don't favor the team and the Dolphins couldn't overcome a much more dominating DL than our OL. It's not like the Bills haven't been dominating other teams in the league, they do lead the league in sacks and they do rank 8th in total defense. I mean if we had been dominated like that against Jacksonville or Dallas (who's defense is awful) then I would be ticked but I pretty much expected it to be a tough game and figured it might turn out like it did. This OL sucks, worst in franchise history. We can't pass block and we can't run block and still we're in the playoff hunt.

I think some of you truly expected all the money spent by Ireland would materialize into a 14-2 season or something and you failed to give thought just how these new pieces would fit into our team. Ellerbe was an undrafted free agent linebacker that the Ravens signed and taught the 3-4 too...you expect him to be this all world MLB in the 4-3 cause he got paid a lot of money...sorry. Wheeler has been bad everywhere he's been but because Ireland paid him a bunch of cash he's supposed to be pro bowl level now? Don't think so. Wallace was in a vertical passing offense where he ran mostly go routes now we're asking him to be a complete WR and actually run routes...that takes time and he may never get it. Ireland gambled on these guys...free agency is just as big a gamble as the draft...sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. It's not as simple as placing player A on team B and the results should be identical...it never happens that way.

Personally I think some fans lack mental toughness. If the team isn't winning screw them all. If we can't blow someone out fire everyone. We're down 7 points after the 1st quarter and everyone is posting they're done watching the game they'd rather watch paint dry. Waah freakin waah. Suck it up and root for the team win or lose or get the freak out of here and don't come back. Tired of all this baby crap. It's one thing to be critical of play calling or execution or even the talent level but to cry before the game is played out, say the team lacks mental toughness as if they don't want to win or expect instant success just because you're tired of waiting for the team to be good...well that's ridiculous. Everyone in the NFL wants to be good, including Buffalo and their fans. It's not like everyone should roll over for us just because we had Dan Marino and now we don't. You got to earn this crap every week.

This right here every single bit of it.

After the horrible Buffalo game I haven't looked at football or anything Dolphin related... That game really hit hard. Thad freaking Lewis beat us.... twice...

But you know damn sure i'll be watching on Sunday pumped for a win and @the possibility of being in the playoffs. Last time this happened we got destroyed by Baltimore and their D, but there isn't a 'Baltimore' anymore, we DID beat 3 of the teams that are already seeded, RT is getting better in close games and as it stands right now we just need the Ravens to lose against the hot Bengals to get in. We may have a chance this time. The only team I'd say can whoop us really bad no doubt is Denver. Other than that i'm hopeful and excited.

Believe it or not. I think we matchup much better against Denver than we do KC.

I am jacked for the jets game, but first we have to watch the opeaning act. I don't mean to offend any of my south florida family, and i love you all dearly. With that being said Charlie strong and the louisville cardnals need another bowl win.

 

[Bumpus]

**** the Jets!

 

[rrrrphin]

I will remain cautiously optimistic. I'll be really intrigued how fired up they come out in the first half. I hope Philbin has them going balls out.

 

[Canadianfishfan]

I'm so thankful last weeks loss was blacked out here. I would be even more depressed. Hard to have faith in our team when they lose to ****ing Thad Lewis led Buffalo. Thad ****ing Lewis.

Did that loss to Buffalo just knock the piss out of everybody. We've got a great chance to win ourselves into the dance, but all I hear is doom and gloom.
Damn, it kinda sounds like the Brown's forum.....Come on Dolphin's fans, get up and shout about this chance !!! :bdh:

We were just embarassed in Buffalo and miss our chance to control our own destiny. Now we nee to beat the jets and either hope the ravens lose or SD wins. Too many things need to go right for a team that keeps on letting us down year after year. You want everyone to be jumping up and down?

Ozzy rules!!

Every event that needs to happen for us to make the playoffs are heavy favorites in Vegas, If we do win and don't get in, it`d be very bad luck...

 

[LANGER72]

I will get jacked up if we make the playoffs. Until then, this is the last game of the season IMHO. No reason to believe in this team after all those terrible losses against teams that we should have beaten soundly.
Last weeks loss looked like the team mailed it in. Very disturbing. That is why I cannot get pumped up.

 

[TealAttack13]

It's tough when even if you win, your future is in someone elses hands, especially when we controlled our own fate.

 

[Sarnics13]

I'm certainly jacked up. Got my family in town and game day at the stadium all planned out. Seriously looking forward to this!!!!

Wait, now if we don't get in it was bad luck? If we don't get in we don't deserve it. We weren't good enough!!

Ozzy rules!!
