Why are people acting so shocked? The team played really well last week which made this week sting a bit more. I'm not hitting the panic button yet.
 
Not sure if shocked but Miami was in both games, or at least had a chance to win which makes the assumed losses that much harder to take.
 
I think last week's loss hurts more cause we had Seattle and we beat ourselves in the end.

1-1 would be nice, but it is what it is.
 
Seattle sure didn't look good today. Scored just 3 points which makes last weeks performance by the D a mirage I suppose. Regardless, before the game was played no one gave the Dolphins a chance by evidence of the 10.5 point spread.

Right now this team has the same look of the team that went 1-15 though. Very similar IMO.
 
only bright spot is pass pro, run blocking blows chunks.
 
No one should be surprised with 0-2. Problem is we look terrible, record be damned.
 
It's too early to panic. We all know that. It was a tough schedule for the first two games. But, we will not have arrived until we win some tough games like these, including on the road. Just winning in predictable situations is fine for mediocrity and is better than being awful.

But, to be a really good team, you've gotta go into some tough environments and convert. Until then, we aren't good enough.
 
Because people are tired of losing. And I don't blame them, but the overreaction is a little out of control.

They played the first two weeks against two of the Super Bowl favorites. Those two teams have lost five total home games over the past two years...combined. And the Fins were in it at the end in both games.

It the Fins lay an egg next week at home next week against Cleveland...that's a different story. But I don't think they will.

This team does not resemble the 1-15 team at all.
 
Miami couldn't stop a 3rd string QB, Blount and people I couldn't even name on their O-line when Miami needed one more stop. They knew Blount would run and they couldn't stop the pats JV team. Be different if it was Brady and gronk and their 1st string O-line out there.
 
Wouldn't be a huge deal if NE wasn't so dominant in the first half
 
I think people (myself included) are more concerned at how similar this team looks to last year's team. Specifically the slow starts the team has to come back from and anemic offensive play calling.

Frankly, the only thing this team seems good at doing is injuring opposing QBs, which would actually be something to hang our hats on IF the team wasn't already losing by then and unable to come back.
 
The defense looked horrible. Unless something gets figured out, we can't win against anyone
