I'm not sure how many of you feel, but as long as Philbin is coaching this team...

I think next week might be the only "home" game where the stadium will be full and thats because its London. good news is the FCC does not blackout games anymore which means ross gets to show off the aqua colored seats as no one will be sitting on them when the dolphins play.

 

I hope no one goes to the next home game. that will send a sign.

 

I feel the same way. I usually attend two home games per year. I'm upset that I already spent money on the tickets and airfare, but at least I'll enjoy the warm sunny weather. Next year, I'm not buying tickets for anything until some type of promise is shown. I'm sure some will call me a hater, or say I'm a bandwagon fan, well, this team doesn't exactly have a "bandwagon" to jump on, unless one enjoys riding the wave of mediocrity and losing. I don't even feel upset about this loss to Buffalo. Any excitement I had for the team has just turned to apathy. I'm glad today is Miami Heat Media day, because at this time I'm looking forward to Basketball season. I'll always be a fan, but at this point, I've just stopped caring, the same way the coach and players have. When they turn it around, I'll come back.

 

I had tickets for the Titans game. Dolphins sideline. 30-40 yard line, about 20 rows up. They're on stub hub already. Partly due to some medical issues holding us back, and due to the terrible performance of this team. Wife is a Titans fan, but she don't care either way if we go. She wanted to go to Nashville for other reasons, and was on board with going to the game too because of how much I love the Dolphins. We thought it would be fun, but, with all that's going on in our own lives, and with how bad this team is playing, I'd rather not spend about $1200 to $1400 and take two days off work to go. Just isn't worth it presently. Even if they get things straightened out on the bye week...

 

We have season tickets going back to the 90's. After days like yesterday, I wonder why.
The whole game day experience was worse yesterday than prior years. Terrible traffic management and long lines to get into the stadium.
Then you get inside and the product is putrid.

 

This team has been trying to buy a better team since Ross took over by merely spending money on high priced free agents. Instead of building through the draft as the better teams in the league do.
Until they start drafting impact players who can remain with the team through more than just one contract. This team is going nowhere and will continue to be no more than a mediocre team at best. Right now though, they aren't even good enough to be called mediocre.

 

im pissed, but as we move to another chapter in finding the right coach, we gave the current one more than enough time, the hope is always there we will get this right..stay positive man, we'll get it right eh?

 

thats because the suits dont know what the fans truly want at the stadium

 

Ultimately as fans, the only real option we have is to withhold our money from them. Individually it won't make a difference, but if enough people feel and act the same it may force some kind of change. But it would take huge amounts of people to do it.

All of us ranting on the internet is like so much pink noise to them.

 

You likely won't have long to wait. The product on the field won't be appreciably better either, though.

 

Love the optimism deej, but damn , it is getting more and more difficult to stay positive watching these underachievers get smacked around.

 

My thoughts exactly. If mine sell, I could go spend the weekend in Vegas, or go somewhere warm and sunny in the winter for that kind of cash. It's not that I'm saying I'm never going to watch this team again, because I'll be right back in my chair downstairs Sunday Morning with my steak & eggs and a beer. However, I'm not about to blow precious vacation time, and cash like that to spend a weekend out of town somewhere to watch when I can take that same amount of cash and go on a longer vacation, that's probably more enjoyable. Damn, Nashville hotels are expensive!

 

I know it sucks..gotta find oursleves the right coach.

 

These phoney fair weather fans are as big a problem as anything with this franchise. Please just go join a bandwagon.... don't expect real fans to beg you to stay. Your not passionate, your not on our level.

 

No one needs to justify their level of fandom. I would think that if you are a member of a miami dolphins internet forum, you are a pretty committed fan.

 

Exactly, we were all somewhat optimistic heading into this season and then the reality of the same inept Philbin comes into play.

 

Posts like this should make Ross and the other 31 owners a bit nervous. I don't blame cdn at all, as a matter of fact I have friends coming from Toronto for the Texans game and I wonder after yesterday how he feels about it. His hotel, plane tix and tix to the Hurricanes vs Clemson game the day before.

So very sad.....Ross has done everything BUT make the team on the field better. I don't think he understands that is the most important part of the "Finz game" experience.

 

I don't think anyone expected this coaching staff to fail this bad with the talent we have. I have never seen such a level of underachievement other than teams tanking.

 

When it comes to spelling and grammar, I'm definitely not on your level.

 

Yeah man, I hear ya. I think everyone's expectations were sky high.

Wife and I thought it would be a good weekend. Then some health issues crept up, were still going to go, but now after this start, it's kinda like... why are we wasting money on this trip now when we just went in the hole another $10k. Like, it just doesn't add up.

So some of you jackasses can ramble on about not being real fans, or whatever... and you can all go you know what yourselves. Unless you've walked a mile someone elses shoes, you should just stfu.

Where in canada u from bro?

 

I think the only option as a fan is to not spend a dime on this team until either Ross sells or they figure out how to put together a coaching staff and team.

Too much bs during Ross's ownership and horrible decisions with this coaching staff.

 

I love when folks get pissed, express anyway possible, i really understand your pain, just dont give up..

 

Hmmm, ummm, NO. I like football and my team too much on Sunday's. I don't let it control my life like some of you here

 

Personally, I'd say some you guys are already spending way too much to support the team. I would never think to spend $1k to see a game. That's 3 times what NFL Sunday Ticket costs.

I understand that if everyone was like me, there'd be no one actually attending games, lol, so you're doing a great service but man, that's nuts to the average fan. You probably should've stopped doing that a long time ago--especially considering how terrible this team has been for so long.

 

bingo!

 

Yep, its like a cold hard slap across the face knocking us back to reality. We hoped beyond belief that this would be a different team with the additions and signings ...then we look on our sidlines on Sunday and reality sets in.

 

I was at the Bills game when they got destroyed. Also got tickets when they play the Texans. I was thinking about another game but no way. No more games for me this year. The Texans aren't good so maybe they can win that game or at least not get blown out. Either way I will probably be pulling my hair out again watching them play.

 

Yeah, but see, I haven't seen the phins play live since the Thanksgiving game in Detroit when Joey Harrington beat the Lions. Oh what a day that was for me in Detroit

Being located where some of us are, there's no real option.

By the time you buy tickets, drive or fly, and get a hotel room for a night or two, it adds up very fast. Hell, it was very hard to find a hotel in Nashville for under $300 a night. Since we were driving in, staying two nights, that's $670 or so with fee's and taxes just to spend those two nights. The plans have us staying an extra night in Louisville for about $150 since we'd be leaving late Friday after work from here. 8 hour drive each way, so I'd assume a couple hundred on gas. Then throw in food, drinks, entertainment. Then throw in another 250 or so for tickets. $1000 is actually probably pretty cheap for the average out of town fan to attend a game. It is what it is. Flying it would be even worse.

There's just really no option.
