I feel like we always have one 3.5b in my watch group. It's usually always the same person but I'd be lying, if I said I've never done it.The jump from 3. Fanboy to 4. Analyst needs a step in between or perhaps two.
3.5a Finfan Optimist (watches to the bitter end expecting a comeback late in the 4th)
3.5b Finfan Pessimist (After the first pass of the game on offense is incomplete, they declare game over)
I'm more of the optimistic type when it comes to the Fins, but we have plenty of Pessimists on here who should also be recognized
11. Life long fan. Continues to absorb pain.1. Actual Trolls: fans of other teams who just CLAIM to be Finfans.
2. Eeyores: poor schlubs who just relentlessly focus on the negative.
3. Fanboys: Everything the Dolphins do is Godlike. ALL those UDFAs will be stars!!!
4. Analysts: Typicaly dry and boring individuals, but they post lots of data for our consumption.
5. Comedians: Yeah... Circumstances happen.
6. Mods: Why the **** did I take this job?
7. Gamblers/Gamers: What's the spread, bro?
8. Game Day Hyenas: OMG OMG OMG... we only got two yards on that play. Fire Grier, Fire McD, trade everyone IMMEDIATELY!!
9: Aspiring GM/ Draft Junkie
10. Reporter

Technically speaking that would rule out "Lemmings" because of that "Veritas" word. - LOL11. Realist Veritas
That should be an old and joyless fan.11. Life long fan. Continues to absorb pain.
Just Gambler.Analyst and gambler I'd say... although I don't bet on sports, I view pretty much every strategy games through the lens of expected value, which stems from my poker playing days...
There's a joke to be had with your first sentence. When I wake up I will let you know what it is Jack.69 cuz every year we gonna turn it around!
& I'll keep believing till I'm burned or buried.

I get that considering we haven't won anything since I was ..11 years old but if your expectations are so low whats the point of even caring?
I agree and totally understand .I get that and I'm not that way. I just get annoyed when fans say crap like "moral victory" after a tough loss in a big game. And I get annoyed when so many say things like "it was still a successful season....". Im realistic with my expectations. I have higher expectations now because of the talent on this roster. Back when we traded minkah and Tunsil it was obvious what we were doing and i didnt expect to win every game but i still watched them and wanted them to win but i just didnt get mad when they loss like i do now. I think so many young fans are used to seeing 8-8 or 7-9 or less records over the years they have come accustomed to that as the "standard".

Point me to this Flashes of 5...I may have missed it.I'm in the 4 - 9 club, that has a decent amount of us. Flashes of 5, but not so much on the main board. F A R from 1 in that not only are the Phins by far my favorite NFL team, but none of my favorites in any other sport or college football comes even remotely close to my Dolphins fandom.
