When Was The Last Time You've Seen This Much Joy From The Team?

[SkapePhin]

I haven't seen the team have this much fun together since probably the Wildcat year. Sure, the winning is contributing to this, but they genuinely look like they love playing together. Maybe Gase's much discussed "culture purge" actually worked.

Ditching the Grumpy Cat Trifecta (Cutler/Landry/Suh) probably helps in that regard.

The amendola pickup has been wonderful. We’re still getting those gritty tough middle of the field catches

And we took him from the Pats

It’s wonderful

Ya, for a stretch, but they still didn't seem as together as a team as they are right now. These group endzone celebrations make them seem like a college or a high school team, in a GOOD way.

They are fun to watch and they're having a great time. Definitely 2008 would be the last time I remember something like this.

The Philbin years were no fun. Ever. Fun was not allowed.

You can tell these guys, especially the WR group, really get along well and root for each other's success. Love it. "Culture"

This is what Miami Heat fans have long witnessed and wished to see with the Dolphins.

2008 when the wildcat was running wild on the NFL, for a short time.

Ridding the team of all of that "talent" was a genius move by coach Gase up to this point. Of course the pundits who cover the NFL thought that the Dolphins had lost their mind at the time but we will see who is laughing when all is said and done.

I do believe even the ref is cracking a smile here

It's the most Joy ,Iv'e had watching them in a long time...

I've been rooting for the Phins from 4 different states for a very long time. Earlier successes now seem like they never existed except from a feel good memory residue.

So for me it would be 2008, although that team was really smoke and mirrors led by a noodle armed performer. However, introducing the wildcat up in Foxboro and watching all the Pats fans who assumed another blow out win flash their true "fair weather fandoms" and start leaving in droves through the 3rd quarter is probably my most satisfying emotional memory that carried through the season and rudely ended in the humiliating post season. But it was great while it lasted!

Maybe not this long but sure feels like it.

I used to get so emotionally involved in the games. To the point that I was screaming at the TV and having my whole day ruined if we didn't win. So much ineptitude had taken that from me over the last 10 years. I have been numb to it all probably bc I just sit and expect failure even when we did something well.

I was in a sports bar yesterday (bc the game wasn't televised in Central FL) standing in front of the giant screen in front of everyone screaming and pumping my fist so hard my arm is sore today. This team is something very different. You can just feel it and man do they have me excited.

Either the 2008 wildcat year or any of the Ricky, Taylor, Thomas years
