Let me start by saying I will tune in and I hope to watch a competitive team. I don't think this team will win many more games this season, and to me it's a double slap in the face. I would have taken the losses, but wished there was a rookie qb to develop over times like this. I won't be watching this game thinking that some miracle turnaround could happen. Because a win this week is just a tease. Pats next week will quickly get us back to reality. I am in tune and in touch with this team. Through some injuries and salaries, we are who we are. What are you looking to see when tuning in?
Self-discovery and enlightenment. I would like to leave the world behind and finally give up the ego. Recognize that all my problems are just my thoughts and that my thoughts are not real.
Just competitiveness, really. I wasn't expecting a miracle season from a Jay Cutler-led Fins team, but I didn't expect all of these blowouts, either. I hate that our offense is so unproductive, it makes it hard to get a bead on who exactly is the problem. Is it a QB issue, truly? Or something much more soaked in the veins. OL is playing for all their jobs next year, as far as I'm concerned. Xavien Howard and Bobby McCain need to play better. Howard is shaking CB back on the list of needs, especially if he doesn't pick it back up for the second half of the season. Our defense still needs an infusion of talent, according to right now. Where was the defense we had in the first half of the season? It seems like we've been watching the same defense since Dansby and Burnett left; always giving up 3rd downs and easy yards on 1st down, dropping near-interceptions, inability to cover seams and zones, etc. etc. I just want the whole team to play a clean game for once. If the other team makes more God-honest plays and we lose, fine I guess. I'm just tired of the shooting-in-the-feet. Penalties, turnovers, whiffed blocks, drops, you know where I'm going. It's been an exhausting watch all year. So many times the right play is called and somebody misses a block or tackle and the whole thing melts to ****.
I would like something to build upon next year. With Landry's contract status how about feeling good about 1 of the WR's? They're all young? Where is Carroo? I also want to see steady improvement from the Safety Duo. Now is evaluation time. You have to know what not to touch next year and what to fix. If the losses continue to pile, I suspect in a few weeks, they will make a qb change
Two times a year I hope to see Wake sack Brady so hard his head rolls off. Then he and Jason Taylor (I don't know...he comes from the sidelines) rip out brady's brain, spike it on the ground and drink beer out of his hallowed out skull before punting his head through the uprights. I mean that'd be cool.
1: to see wake or suh smack brady a couple times 2: like Dan said a good buzz, but I will change mine to a very strong on the verge of drunk buzz!!! 3: I would like to see Williams and drake improve to solidify our RB and make it not a iffy point next year.
I just want to see them turn it around to some degree down the stretch- splitting with NE and Buffalo would be a good start. The problem with this season is that Cutler is almost definitely out the door in 9 more games, so it's not like him playing better/worse means anything for next season. So we're just sort of in limbo waiting for Tannehill to return. I am hoping that the other aspects of our game get ironed out though, the run game on both sides of the ball, developing our safeties, etc.
People won't want to hear this but I almost think our offense would be better off without Landry. I mean, he is phenomenal when it comes to energy and fighting for yards, but how often have we seen him catch a pass in space this season? Other teams are smothering him and lighting him up, so that "yards after catch" stat we love so much is gone. He's also dropped quite a few passes this season and I just don't know if the effort we're used to seeing is there. I do like that he's matured though and not taking penalties for getting in people's faces anymore, but I just don't see the big playmaking side of him anymore. Of course, that could be due to Cutler going to him a lot less as well. I really think we should move him back to kickoff return and punt return (if we can ever make another team punt, that is) since Grant has not been impressive there.
#1. My permanent love of the Miami Dolphins means that I have a deep desire to watch every snap of every game and be there for the entire process, no matter how long it takes to get where we want them to be. #2. Normally, I would watch to see how our players continue to develop and work together, and build toward next season. But this year that's tough. Cutler isn't going to be back. Thomas isn't. Landry probably isn't. Much of the OL might be replaced. Stills is handcuffed by Cutler and isn't being used the way that he can. So, I guess I'm watching for DeVante Parker and Kenyan Drake to produce and lock themselves into being our players to build around.
Yeah.. I don't agree with this general sentiment that somehow our season is already over. Lose to the Bucs and then I'll agree, but guys.. we're still in the playoff race whether you like it or not! Once again, Buffalo just benched their starting QB and if they lose to the Chargers with the new rookie and we beat the Bucs, we're TIED with Buffalo, even down to conference record. And the two other 4-5 teams, the Raiders and Ravens, both lost 5 of their last 7. Seriously.. in a nutshell, as long as we don't fall behind these other crappy teams, we make the playoffs with high probability by sweeping Buffalo. So you ask what I'm hoping to gain by watching? Obvious: a playoff berth! (and a sweep of Buffalo regardless) I'll change my tune when the probability of making the playoffs starts to seem too low to make it realistic. But we're simply not at that point yet no matter how bad we've played.
Interested in young players stepping up and seeing who else quits. For example, I'm interested in Drake, Parker, Tunsil getting his crap together (I don't think he had a penalty last game so that was nice), etc. Interested in TJ now that he is back. Will Suh show his ugly side a little more as he gets frustrated having the ball run down his throat in a blowout? We saw hints of that last week. Lots of questions.
I hope to continue to lower my golf handicap. I play golf every Sunday morning here in Hawaii and record the game to watch when I get home . I usually see the scores of the early games before leaving the course and if Miami lost, I just go out and play another 9 holes instead of going home and watching the replay. I have gone from a 7 handicap to a 5 handicap over the past few months because of the extra time spent at the course working on my game instead of wasting my time watching the rerun of the Dolphins once again get blown out. With my extra time at the course and how badly the Dolphins are playing, I imagine I should be able to take another couple of strokes off my handicap over the next eight weeks.
Hoping to lose out to be perfectly honest. Competitively though as not to be embarrassed, even that is a big ask. Do not wish to slide down any further in draft position. Course, if Tannebaum is picking our players again in 2018 it doesn't really matter what our draft spot is.
same thing every year, try to figure out whether we have the right coaches and personnel to make a dynasty.. amazing how difficult it is for so called professionals, with all the resources they have at their disposal, to acquire championship caliber football players.
That would be cool! And if they were able to do that twice it would be definitive proof that the Patsies are Satans favorite team and Marcia sold her immortal soul for fame and fortune. Also why she pimps uggs, they had to do something with all the sheep him and Billycheat were sodomizing and sacrificing to maintain the Dark ones favor.
Actually the opposite, free time. I’ve watched a couple of games but this season has freed up my Sundays. Still love Miami but just not gonna waste a Sunday watching this when I could be spending time with family, exercising, working on my business or non-profit.
I hoping for a Wake/Suh sack on Brady like they did the Jets QB last year. That will make Brady retire!
Pretty good strategy and one that I'll look at doing although I'm not nearly as good. How much time do you spend a week on practice?
I mean the first time they ripped his head off he would be dead. If they were able to rip off Marcia's (Tom) head twice it would just prove that he and Bellycheat were demon spawn who could not be killed. Marcia (Tom) pimps Ugg (sheepskin lined boots) to dispose of all the sheep and goat carcasses(dead bodies) that he(she) and the anti-Christ (Bill) sodomize (I know you know what that means!) and sacrifice ( a form of ritual murder with religious overtones) in order to maintain the Dark One's (The Satanic/Demonic figure of your choice, Lord of the Underworld kind of thing. No, not Roger Goodell.) favor. It really wasn't that complicated and now you've gone and taken the fun out of it. Thanks a lot!
Makes you wonder if it's really worth it, right? Waiting for some owner to say **** it, cut the whole shebang and just crowdsource lol. They'd save millions and millions, and would it really be such a worse result?
