I know the forever pessimistic negative Nancy's will say this loss shows why we need a new coach, qb, gm etc. blah blah blah; same ****. But the fact is we played a very strong very hot Carolina team should've had the win, but some bad bounces and calls ended up screwing us.

We showed improvement in many problem areas, took a loss to a non conference team which many of us expected to be a loss anyway. We have 5 more games and have to get on a roll, but judging by how our team played today I think we can win 4 of those 5 and secure our first playoff appearance since 2008.

Call me a homer, fine, but at least I'm not wasting my energy looking with 20/20 hindsight at what could've been and realize that a team under a tremendous amount of scrutiny and destractions are playing thier ass off trying to prove the disbelievers nationally and even in thier own fan base wrong.

I'm a Miami Dolphins fan, no apologies. And I have faith this team will get it done.
 
Your not a playoff team when you have a 10 point lead in second halves and find ways to lose. This team is poorly coached and do not understand how to manage games, run the clock out with a lead or use of timeouts. They are way over their heads and are clueless.

We have had leads late in games that we just refused to run out the clock. If you can't win at home with the lead late you are not a playoff team! I'm an optimist, this staff has NO IDEA how to win games. We are good enough to keep it close, if we had sharp coaches we would be a playoff team, with the lead in the division. Philbins lack of game awareness along with Sherman's ineptness caused this loss!
 
We're still in the hunt, but I never get my hopes up.
 
I think this loss shows more of why we're not a playoff team than it shows we need a new this and that.

Now, we do need a new this and that in some key places, but the defense is solid. Offense is terrible. Lamar Miller showing exactly why I never wanted to draft him knowing the type of player he was in college. He hasn't learned a damn thing in the NFL. Dude is still dancing around in the backfield waiting on that one huge hole to open up that's going to launch him 80+ yards. That dope just needs to hit the gas and follow a blocker.

Mike Wallace finally gets behind a defense and he's having to come back for Tannehill's lame duck passes. That was sad. Wallace could have had a huge day if it weren't for that.

Anyway, no playoffs for the Miami Dolphins unless you live in pretend land.

You're a homer
 
I don't believe we will make the playoffs, but if we did it would look like we shouldn't have after the game. Most likely get blown out.

We're 2-6 in our last 8 starts. How come your faith didn't buy us some wins there?
 
Sorry this team is not good enough to make the playoffs.

They have no running game. An offensive line that is in shambles. An offensive coordinator that is so scared to take chances. An offensive coordinator that when something is working he decides to go back to something that hasn't worked all season. A defensive coordinator that hands the other team 3 points before the half. A defensive coordinator that is still trying to figure out how to best use the players he has while we're in week 12 now. A head coach who at times looks lost on the sidelines and still lets his buddy, the offensive coordinator, screw the team with his crappy game plans while never seeming to make any half time adjustments.

Nope I'm not buying it anymore. I watched this game with some hope today only to see the same stupid mistakes I have seen all year. Seeing the team blow a game that she could have easily won. As much as I would love for my favorite team to make the playoffs for the first time in 5 years, I just am not going to let them rip my heart out and stomp on it again.
 
Yeah, a playoff team who needs to win 3 of the next 5 with 3 games on the road in the cold to just get to .500. Yeah... Sure...
