i posted this in another thread. sorry if u read it, i got started and think its a topic that deserves discussion on its own merit - that got started by whats wrong with the fans and the stadium based on ricky williams comments - that hes right about btw. stephan ross this is for you
how could they not realize? the stadium is never filled, and always way too many opposing fans. our fans cant even bring any energy to the stadium like other teams, and it does affect the team. but there are alot of reasons for this starting with the biggest one
1. this stadium was a complete failure in stadium design! terrible! and since we moved here from the orange bowl they took the fans out of the game. the seats are way too far from the field and the atmosphere is just awful. if you are in that stadium u dont even feel like ur part of the game the way u do in other stadiums. it was a complete fail, and ive said that since they moved in. they need to revamp the seating. the noise doesnt stay in the stadium the way it does in other stadiums either.
if the owner cares - he needs to get this figured out and get it fixed. it is currently not even possible to get that stadium "rocking" because of a serious design flaw. im sure it can be fixed. but they gotta get it right. and unfortunately it needs some upgrades.
2. when u are so consistently boring to watch, when you are so consistently poor on the field, when ur front office consistently makes decisions that even the fans on dolphins website can collectively see or terrible terrible moves, and collectively - the educated ones seemingly could make better personal decisions based on what they see around the league. ITS PATHETIC! and when posters are consistently proven correct about these decisions its just sad. these guys GET PAID. its their life, and they cant do a better job.
its been going on for 20 years. 20 years!!! this franchise has been a complete joke since jimmy johnson left. they have gotten nothing correct. and consistently for 20 years essentially never even made an attempt to find a franchise qb. these idiots have been so dumb they think their coaching will take this team to the top. the philosophy of this franchise to run the ball and win with defense has been inherently incorrect for 20 years. its fundamentally flawed and has ALWAYS been incorrect regardless of what the dumb *** media and these stupid *** old school coaches think. its a virus of the mind that has infiltrated the coaching profession for years. it may have been true 70 years ago. but its seriously been that long since its been accurate, and the reason is the game changed, the thinking just took forever to catch up. it took these idiots getting proved wrong over and over and over and over again before change FINALLY just recently broke through. its been this way since the dawn of the super bowl. and all u have to do is look at the quarterbacks that have won since the beginning.
it has ALWAYS been this way. the elite quarterbacks in the game win championships. NOT the elite running backs. and yes of course defense helps. but defense comes second to an elite quarterback AND IT ALWAYS HAS. and there are NO EXCEPTIONS. yes sometimes a dominant defense can break through and carry a team. but it is NOT the rule. it the exception to the rule.
so the reason the stadium blows is because weve been BEHIND the times for 2 decades. even shula figured it out - a guy that was hell bent on run and play defense. he realized if u CAN pass first u should.
when ur plan is flawed how can u hope to succeed? how can u expect long term success?
3. we were also a victim of our past success. this franchise was so good for so long, and had such fantastic success for so long, that the failures made the failing even more unbearable for this franchise and fans. because we know what its like to win. weve seen greatness. just not for a long time now.
so what do we need to do???? hire the right coach! hire the right front office! people that understand fundamentally HOW to win, and can implement that philosophy. IT STARTS WITH QUARTERBACK. if u dont have one. YOU BETTER GET ONE. and NOTHING matters until you do.
if this stadiums issues are fixed, and at least the offense can put up points - so u dont have a boring product. fans will return. and the winning will fix it all. this is whats needed. its not that hard to figure out. but its whats necessary. it all starts with having the right philosophy, the right plan. u gotta make the correct decisions. 20 years of failures is awfully hard. but the thinking has been ****ed up around here for a very long time. and THAT is why we fail.
if ross fixes the THINKING. this thing can get turned around quickly! and everybody will be happy and that stadium will be filled. these issues will go away. its not THAT hard to figure out.
