''Hey I just wanna add that yesterday that the fans were awesome, Its great when you get in that stadium and things start to go positive, and that crowd gets behind ya, really makes a difference, and I just wanna compliment the fans and were really gonna need that down the road, we appreciate that.''
I liked that he pointed it out after the conference appeared to be done and he did seem very genuine and it does help and matter. Now , one can say the fans haven't had a lot of opportunity or reasons to be passionate and vociferous and that the fan base is not the same as in most cities , but regardless , atmosphere , noise , excitement help the home team and we have not had that as an advantage. We need to claim that and I am really pleased to see Coyle step up and identify this.
This is why I can't stand it when our fans boo our own team. I've gotten into arguments with people on this website about that. Some of us on here think it's ok to boo our own team. And I think it's classless and disgusting.
I think booing should be reserved for coaching decisions or players who have proven themselves *******s. It doesn't quite make sense to me as negative reinforcement for bad play.
I saw that and thought it was pretty cool. As long as they are competitive in the next game (and especially if they win), that building is going to be rocking next Thursday night.
Yeah the crowd was bumpin Sunday. If only they could master getting to their seats on time in the 1st quarter.
Booing the players is disrespectful at the upmost, IMHO. They're who they are, and they're trying and giving what they got. I respect them regardless. Maybe I let myself get too connected, but to me, booing them is equal to booing my family...won't happen. Agree on the Patriots part...typical entitled Boston/New York fans.
I think that booing is fine. I'm going to passionate, in both directions. If the team is playing like crap, I'm going to voice my opinion. I'm never going to cuss or call out an individual player at the game, but boo? You bet.
its nice to hear coyle say that but there is much improvement that our fans could do to help our team..in spite of the disadvantage they face every time they walk in. I think Philbin could have a meeting with the players and have them start to ask the fans to give them help, to get there earlier, to stand on defense, and scream as loud as they can..really go there.
please lets not turn this into that debate. lets work on selling out for thursday nite and spreading the word.
Yeah, sorry. Not my intention to ever hijack a thread. And as someone who likely will never see another game in Miami, its not my place either.
It'd be awesome to see the house rockin' come Thursday next week. If we can get the W at Detroit, I have no doubt it will happen.
I've been to louder games. We need to finish strong and make those December games mean something. We want it to be hell on Earth for the Bills, Ravens, Vikes, and Jets.
That's your opinion, to which you have a right. Mine is that booing should be reserved for extreme situations where a decision is so stupid or cowardly that it can only give rise to deep disgust in a reasonable fan.
How often does the team get out and do public appearances? I would think that a good way to generate good will and enthusiasm in the team is to give the people of Miami a personal connection to the players. Like, once a week, have a couple players show up at a local playground and play catch with the guys (I know McCain is sort of doing this on his own). Go to a high school football game and pass out vouchers for food at the stadium. Just meet and greets where people can connect with the players. People are less likely to boo, and more likely to rabidly support their team when they have personal connections.
you want playoff football you will get in your seats early, all stand in unison on defense and scream your *** off, be back in time for third quarter start, and respect process..dont expect anything if you don't.
