    It just seems like something happens to franchise's at times that just make them flat out losers, and that is what Miami is into. We look and search for ways to lose a game. It doesn't seem we hardly ever get a ball to bounce our way, a call to go our way, and good luck at all.

    When games like this get close the whole franchise has the same reaction....were going to lose. The players, the coach's, the owner, the fans. Top to bottom we all know in our heart that we are going to lose. We know that we are going to get that terrible feeling in our stomach. We can already feel before that coin toss that sadness and heavy hearted feeling of a loss. We are losers top to bottom.

    I know that some feel we are headed in the right direction, we get a couple good WR's a safety and we are going to be a good team. I agree, I love the talent at QB, love Reggie, great lines on both sides of the ball, good CB's, good LB's. We have talent. Then I look at the Detroit Lions, look at the amount of talent they have on that team and they still can't win. Because like us, losing is in their mind, spirit, just in their blood.

    I wish and dream of a day that I don't feel that way, but I have felt this for years. I describe it as the feeling of being a Dolphins fan, disappointment. I know a lot of you feel the same way. We just want a glimmer of hope, a little luck, just something to cheer about.

    Ok off to drink......more.

    If there is somehow a way to lose a game, Miami will find it.

    stop the whining everyone. there was a ton of good stuff to be excited about today. the end result sucked, but this was completely different feeling than the OT loss last week.

    I agree somewhat, however, i'll say the following.

    IMO our team has a bunch of gold nuggets, but gold nuggets who have just been taken off the river, and are still mixed with dirt and dumb rocks and leaves, and just river flotsam. The team still needs to clean all that crap, leave those nuggets, and find more nuggets to compliment.

    We have talented players, but we also have some horrible, horrible players mixed in. This team is still 50/50 ratio of good solid players and bad crap that needs to go.

    We've been beaten down for the last 12 years. However things are looking up. Never thought we were playoff bound this year, it's just losing 2 games in a row in OT is very disappointing.

    I agree with you, but not for the reason you might think. This does feel completley different from last week. Last week we played poorly enough to lose and we lost. This week we dominated the game for 50 minutes and still found a way to lose. I say this game feels a hell of a lot worse.

    I think this is really well stated. As much as it hurts to lose another game like this, there are a lot of positives to take out of it, most importantly that our rookie QB just lit up a very good defensive secondary with essentially two NFL quality WRs.

    Its not really the losing of the games that really gets to me, its just how we lose them. The missed field goals, the sack/fumble today, the Naanee fumble, tipped pass INT's. Its just more about how we lose than the fact that we lost. Even more the fact that we outplayed top to bottom both teams that we lost to in the past 2 weeks.

    Yeah this was way more disappointing today. To play as well as we did and still manage to lose it... takes a special kind of a talent for a franchise to falter like we have so often.

    Honestly, for those same reasons I actually feel much better this week. If you lose a heartbreaker with a bunch of crummy play it doesn't give you anything to get excited about. It just feels like you blew the chance to steal a game from another bad team. When you have players playing well and they still find a way to lose, it still hurts, but at least you feel like you have something to build around.

    Our WRs need to go, some lower the depth chart, some off the roster completely. Other than that I think we're fine, and I'm excited because we have the ammo to upgrade a lot more than the WR position in the near future.

    You learn how to lose and you learn how to win. This takes time.

    IMO our problems are bigger than just a couple of WRs. We need a couple of CBs, a safety, our Linebackers are deficient, we need a good TE, looks like a kicker too. WR is our most glaring need, but like i said, IMO this team is still a 50/50 mix of good and plain crap.

    This team's most glaring need is a playmaker in the secondary, whether that be at cornerback or at safety. At wide receiver, this team needs more than two NFL caliber guys, but this incessant desire to get this so called #1 option isn't the team's most glaring need. The team needs depth, not someone that is going to force a young quarterback to force the ball to him.

    The other thing this team needs to is get rid of the bad luck. The laws of averages says that you will recover 50% of the fumbles you force on any given day. Last year, Miami forced 13 fumbles, and this year, they have forced 6. At this point in time, they have foced 19 fumbles over the past two years and have not recovered a single one of them. Arizona fumbled the ball 4 times today, and Miami didn't come up with a single recover. Miami fumbled twice and lost both.

    Can't really argue with any of that. I'll only say this. Our 2 nfl caliber WRs are at best a couple of 3s. Two very good 3s, but 3s nonetheless. They offer very little red zone threat and very little deep threat. They are looking well, because Tannehill strength plays into their strength. They will not cut it for us if we're to win consistently.

    I call it faith. whether its good faith or bad faith its still faith and when a great number of people expect to lose the faith is stronger.
