The Dilemma

[tay0365]

We as fans have a little predicament, one where I know many know 100% which side they're on, but though nobody wants to believe it, that decision as fans is becoming more and more apparent to be coming.

Miami with 4 wins are barely a top 10 drafting team, but are all of a sudden within 2 games of reaching the playoffs.

Miami's next 2 games are very to somewhat winnable, and of the next 6 games 3 can be considered winnable (Saints,@ Jets, Bengals), and 3 that will be a challenge (@Steelers, Bucs, @Patriots).

My question would you root for the team to lose, so as to get that higher draft pick, get that new possible HC, GM, QB, or do you root Miami get back into the playoffs picture and actually reaches it.

Those of you that even in the wins, say that McD has been clueless in many of the decisions he has made, Weaver has proven that he still might not have an answer to creating a consistent Defense, and Tua has shown to be at best OK this season, so losing out forces all of them to be replaced. What do you choose, and opinion of the position Miami is in, I admit, I am curious...

Rooting for the Dolphins to lose isn’t in my DNA.

 

[BEANTOWNFINFAN]

I always want them to win period.

To me, you don’t “root” for losses until you’re eliminated from playoff contention. The ultimate goal of every season is to win the Super Bowl. Once that is no longer possible, losing is better for your team next year.

Tomorrow isn’t guaranteed for any of us, so I choose to root for today.

Win please

I have zero faith that the house will be cleaned under any scenario. So, at this point, I don’t care. We won’t lose enough to get a top-5 pick. And we won’t win enough to make the playoffs.

If we are going to win, I’d rather see something a bit more interesting than yesterday. That was painful to watch. The only thing worth discussing after a game like that is….what the hell was McDaniel thinking?

Win. 6-7 into Monday night against the crap Steelers.

 

[newpilot82]

Win, because losing probably happens anyway. On Sundays (or Thursday, Saturday, or Monday), I want to watch successful, competent football

 

[SF Dolphin Fan]

I always root for Miami to win. High draft picks don't guarantee success. Philadelphia and Baltimore are usually sitting at the end of the round, but almost always seem to get it right.

 

[Good_Dylan]

It’s futile to wish for a better draft pick
History has shown that even when loaded they pissed them away and didn’t get much to show for it

I’ll take wins any day knowing that even if they lose nothing changes and nothing matters

We're 3 games behind in the loss column, so we basically need the Jaguars to completely fall apart which doesn't seem likely since they still get to play the Jets/Titans 3x.

 

[MARINO1384]

Man would if sting to be 10-7 and miss the playoffs knowing we blew the panthers and chargers games.

 

[PCmor]

I don't know. I kind of think the only thing the Dolphins lose out on by being in the top 5 in the draft is a resource that could be dealt for extra resources.

Honestly, I think this isn't a draft for QBs, and the temptation to pick one might set the rebuild/retool back. Tua is good enough. I'm not confident any QB we'd draft would be as good. I know we have other positions that are much, much more upgradeable. I'd rather address them. And you can address most of them more toward the middle of the rounds.

 

[Tone-Loc]

If you aren’t rooting for your team to win, why even invest in them in the first place?

I think there is a difference between wanting them to win an individual game and understanding what is probably better for the team in the long term.

I want whatever is more conducive to Miami eventually getting to a Super Bowl.
