Welcome to Miami Daunte!!
Okay guys, I'm fuming right now and need to vent some of my anger. It is heartbreaking being a dolphins fan at times. I know that we've got a string of 5 straight years of making the playoffs(the only team in the NFL to do so). That's great and all but here's why I'm pissed. Our last 4 losses in the playoffs the last 4 seasons. 20-3, 27-0, 62-7, and 38-3 either in the wild card game or a divisonal round game. Every year we go 11-5 or 10-6, make the playoffs as a wild card, and get demolished in the wild card or divisional round game. That is bull****. I'm sorry, but there has to be something internally/mentally going on for this to continue to happen to us, but it needs to be addressed RIGHT NOW!:yell: What's the point of going 10-6/11-5 and getting blown out in either the first or second round of the playoffs? Zach put perfectly when he said, he would rather us have a bad season to get add some great players to the team. Zach also says that he's tired of being good and not great. I agree with Zach and something needs to be done. One other thing I want to change is this. Every year since I can remember, we always seem to be very conservative when it comes to pursing free agents through signing or through trade and so forth. There are obvisouly players out there who would like to play for our beloved 'phins. I say quit with the conservative bull**** and take a chance to have a great team!!! So Dave W., and to anyone else in the organazation, if you're reading this, Jay is not going to lead us to a SB. Finally, take a ******* chance for once so our 'phins can win something we haven't tasted in so LONG!:yell:

Seriously though no one was more frustrated with the outcome of yestarday's game than I was. I agree with your comment that it gets heartbreaking to be a Dolphin fan at times.. Believe me, thinking of Dan Marinos 62-7 send off game against Jacksonville is enough to bring tears to my eyes, but what can we really do about it? It seems since Don Shula was run out of town, the Dolphins have seemingly become complacent with just making it to the playoffs. Albeit so, making the playoffs on a yearly basis is something most teams would salivate at the idea of, but still I always wonder when its gonna be Miami's year to break the barrier and go all the way.. As for conservative spending, really now a days in the NFL you have to be conservative or you wind up in Salary Cap Hell, look at the positions Dallas, Jacksonville and the Redskins are in. The only way they can sign a free agent of any value is to dump salaries. Plus remember the debacle of 1995, when the Dolphins went stir crazy and signed free agents like crazy (Most Notable in that list was Eric Green). They finished similar to they did this season, 9-6 and a first round loss to Buffalo. Also, reverting to a post that was put on here by Dolfan87, take a deep look at the teams who are currently in the playoffs. Almost all of them were built up from drafts. Pittsburgh with Kordell Stewart, Hines Ward and a defense that was mostly drafted. Green Bay, who basically were given Favre and Ahman Green (by Atlanta and Seattle respectively). St Louis with Warner (who they got off the garbage heap), Faulk (Who the Colts practically gave away) and Isaac Bruce/Tory Holt (Who they got in the draft.. The Bears with a QB that has been cut 7 different times by 5 different teams (2 Times by Jacksonville, and once each by Atlanta, Dallas, Pittsburgh, and Detroit) and a set of running backs/WR they drafted. Get the picture? Keep the faith though, sooner or later in this era the Phins will break through.
I'm not finished either. I want one more on my left arm.
