Red Zone has been a problem for the last two seasons, and now its early but looks like a 3rd. That falls on the GM and coaching. You have had 3...
Me too, the Parcells stench needs to be blown out of Davie as quickly as possible.
We've tried all of that, Saban, Cameron, Wannstedt etc......it just seems whoever comes here is destined to fail. We have become the "Chicago...

Yesterday wasn't so good...a 59 rating is what I heard.
Sparano said he would take this team to the next level with or without the fans. Looks like he won't be making that journey after all.
Hopefully the STINCH of Bill Parcells will be completely blown out of Davie, by the end of this year. I will celebrate when they are all gone. He...
I agree dude, and I did bring up the fact that he was 14-18 in the last two years, but a certain nameless poster, who will know who he is, said...
I could easily see that happening. I feared that would happen, but still predicted 6, 7 or 8 wins just incase they did better than I thought.
I don't think a lot of people are seeing the sarcasm from the original poster, and are taking it seriously. That said, I've beaten the drum of a...
Some will never take the orange & aqua glasses off.....we could be 1-14 and its the last week and they would be saying all we need is for this...
That is entirely on the coaching staff.
Because winning coaches & working for the Dolphins just are two things in this life the cosmos just doesn't deem will happen.
It is a machine. The "if you dare to criticize you are a hateful evil terrible person" people just continue to pound the excuse machine.
I would give you the same advice. Watch the game and see that Henne was just not that good today - decent - but not good.
for those that kept defending him as a "winning" coach and that you can't replace a winning coach.
And the excuse machine continues......
Henne did however take a step back today. No question about that.
Trust me, Sparano is a dead man walking already
Nothing wrong ?!?!?!? :shifty:
That is why Ross SHOULD have cleaned house after last season. He didn't hire Ireland & Sparano. He has no absolute loyalty to them. Now its...
But Henne still had a 56 QBR today, not good enough to win.
Yes he did, and Hartline was money a couple of times too.
What are they made of ? Piles of dung is what it looks like.
Now its 2....wanna play for loss # 3 ?
Yeah and for once I'm sorry. We won't win 3 the way they look now. Okay where is Southbeach's goody-goody rah-rah thread ?
I've been saying for months, we need Sparano & Ireland gone. Its going to happen.
before the end of the season
I feel vindicated
This season is looking more like 3-13 or 4-12
No way to sugar coat this "rah-rah" people
Because that stupid move just cost us a time out. You're down by 10 and it did NOTHING but waste a time out. IDIOCY !
Dorrell also replaced Lee as the QB Coach
You never saw Jackie Shipp play linebacker :lol:

I don't think it'll be that extreme, they have 46,000 season ticket holders. Maybe 3-4,000 of those stay home, but they should have 2-3,000...
That is the reality of the franchise right now. They have definite PR problems and the public is not buying this regime & owner anymore. They have...

I recorded the Bills vs Chiefs game and there were at least 5-7,000 empty seats. I can get screen caps of it if you doubt me. I have the online...
Freudian slip ?!?!? :lol:
That is the official stats at ESPN.com attendance. They get them from the box scores I imagine.
However, if I was someone that paid $99 bucks for two upper tier corner tickets a couple of days ago, I'd be pretty pissed.
Well he needs to get the season ticket holders back as he is bleeding a lot of money. This helps build that bridge back. Also give them to season...
I agree with you 100%
Well the team has been pretty weak too......just saying....... There are a lot of reasons why the fanbase is not as rabid as it once was, but...
Really ? This is the capacity attendance of each team in the 2000's 2010 Miami Dolphins - 90.1 % 2010 Buffalo Bills - 86.5 % 2009 Miami Dolphins...
yeah a 90% + capacity attendance for over 20 years and 103 straight sellouts sounds like a fair-weather fan base to me. :pity:
Ross needs to have patience with the fan base because its been angry for a while. Why are you complaining about my post. Thats exactly what I was...
It's an angry and tired fan base. The same old same old for 10 years, and losing 11 of the last 12 home games make people question whether or not...
Have you never been to a game ? Most of the patrons are still in the concourses that surround the stadium and stay out of the sun until before the...
I don't hate Ross per sé, but I do think he is clueless about the team, and probably should not be a majority owner for a few more years. Maybe he...
And his hiring of Mike Dee (coming from baseball not a football background) hasn't helped things. Dee comes from an entirely different culture in...
Can you read English ? Did I say he was owner for all of those ? And when he took over the team we had 61,000 season ticket holders. His home...
Wait a minute DJ......patience with the fan base ? We have given him one of the best season ticket bases in the NFL until this year. 102, now 103...
Belicheat has already turned Ninkovich into a serviceable LB, and the Dynamic Duo cut him in 2008 I believe.
Hurts the depth, but this is our strongest position on the team. Hopefully its only for a week, and he's back for Cleveland.
What I could see happening is Henne playing well but we continue to lose. I only feel confident that we win in Cleveland, until after we play the...
Really ? That's funny because what Henne did Monday night has only been done 3 times before (400+ yrds passing, 50+ yds rushing) by a QB in NFL...
I'm coming around, believe it or not. I think we win this one. Chad & Daboll proved something to me the other night.
Well I put that one up on purpose. Everyone thinks I am this old crumudgeon, so I put an avatar that went along with it.
Now you are just being contrary to be contrary it would seem.
Even when I post something positive, I get criticized. Ridiculous :pity:
Henning could have and should have been out the door before the season started. Parcells left sometime in August. Sparano could have, if no good...
The thing is, if they do let him go, we have NO QB next year. Matt Moore is the only one signed. We could be in for a few more years at least of...
It will be really sad if he does go somewhere and develops into a very good QB. How are the regime defenders going to deal with that ?
Then if they don't re-sign him, and let him go, or if another regime comes in and wants "their guy" and he becomes the player he could be, the...
Hallaloo ! This is Henne's story here in a nutshell. Again the regime drafted him to do one thing, and yet should have seen his potential but were...
From what I heard on the radio just a few minutes ago that Henne just did something that has only been done 3 times before in all the NFL history...
His development is what I was referring to. Dan Henning should have been GONE after year 2. The decision to keep him was bad judgement, and...
Probably, but even a new regime picking top 10 and picking a QB, will keep Henne at least for 2012, and its possible for 2013 as well. The...
:knucks: Its why I have been on his case since last year. I can't ever see the pattern of where the team is going in the way he is building it....
I've been saying Ireland is not a good GM for a while now, glad others are starting to see the light.
Really ?!?!? :wink2:
Ireland would not do that, its another dagger at his drafting ability. Those men he drafted will be protected.
Hmmmm, what do you say now ?
Eventually Sanchez will get shown up this year. It catches up to him really soon.
But that is more because Romo blows too.
They were decent, but dropped a couple they should have made. Even better receivers may have won us the game, despite the defense
Henne was the lone huge bright spot. Bush could be, but he needs to be used solely as a receiver. He is not a RB, and never will be an effective...
Very true, but I was being on the safe side. Maybe we have some genius posters here who could remem........ummmmm, nah, nix that idea. :lol:
Oh and Stringer do you know that any revenues that he makes at Liv are going back into the team ? I doubt it, since its a separate corporation...
You're just trolling now. :lol: Less season tickets means less revenue, and you know it. Besides they have come out and said it :lol: I guess you...
That is really splitting hairs dude. They take on the good and the bad when they accept the mantle of owner & coach.
His ideas of how to run the team, are vastly different than most teams around the league. The celebrity owners exactly do what for this team ? The...
?!?!?!? Are you kidding me ?!?!?!? Less season tickets, less exposure, no real Superstars (with the possible exception of Bush) all mean less...
All those teams also do have the luxury of having a large % of their fan base that can remember them winning a Super Bowl in their lifetime. With...
Then fix them. Its been 4 years, do it or Mr. Ross needs to move on. Oh brother, you have nothing to come back at him with, so you go low and...
If Cowher comes, he gets more time. His SB ring buys him that luxury.
well lets see......16,000 season ticket holders X 10 games = A lot of lost (guaranteed) revenue.
Presently, we aren't like any of them. Baltimore did make a change in 2008 by the way.
Because he was someone that Parcells was familiar with. He worked with him in Dallas. He never worked with Ryan before that I know of. Parcells...
Tell that to Mr. Ross, and his shrinking season ticket base. He is starting to bleed money on this investment, and that is never a good thing for...
Or is that what you want to believe ? To me Sparano & Ireland are an extention of the big fat Tuna, and by proxy he is in a way still running the...
So we should keep them and have the same conversation every year ? We have to get lucky, like New England did, on one of the regime changes and...
It will be 4 years for this regime if they finish this year. So how many more do you expect to give them ? Mr. Ross already lost 16,000 season...
Trust me, there will be people here still praising Sparano & Ireland. As unbeliveable as it sounds, yes there will be those here.
To you it hasn't it been long enough already ?
I agree with all that you say, and the way to fix the problem is not to give yet another chance to these guys. Why should they get another one ?...
If you really analyse this, the worst thing that could have happened for this franchise was probably winning in 2008. We loved it, but it did all...
The only gloating I may be accused of, is the vidication I feel today because of the unfair criticism and rather mean spirited name calling that...
True, it probably is a lot of years of anger. I used to defend the Dolphins to the end, but yes, my emotions get the best of me now. At least it...
Well that is your decision.
and so.... ?!?!? At least they are doing it. How about the Dolphins doing it for a change ?
Yep, the Dolphins really are a passion for me. You have that right.
No I am a Dolphins fan, I want NO PART of another team. I want the Dolphins to be winners. What is so hard to understand about that ?
I guess you missed the fact that Clay Matthews was missing and he is a HUGE part of their defense.
If he says Brady & Welker suck, then he needs to have his head examined. But yes I sometimes feel like Galileo who was persecuted by the Roman...
They've beaten the Dolphins and IN MIAMI. How can you not be embarrassed to be defending them ?
That's what we have been hearing loss after loss by this regime. When is enough, enough ?!?!?!
Anything other than calling for their heads is defending them. You should have seen enough by now.
Really ? http://aol.sportingnews.com/nfl/recap/20101017009/miami-dolphins--green-bay-packers
I rant and rave so that a lonely voice of reason can be heard so it isn't drowned out in a chorus of barking Sparano & Ireland lap dogs.
I LOVED what I saw last night from Henne, and maybe just maybe we HAVE found our QB of the future. With an OLine and a better running game he...
They were also missing several of their better players for that game.
No, but at least they have shown improvement, and much more promise than this regime. Go ahead and protect this regime, but what happens when they...
It shows improvement, where is the improvement on the Dolphins ? Its hilarious the defense of this regime.
That is what is called "progression". They are showing the natural way you build up to being a good team. This regime started at 11-6 and has been...
If you wish to believe that, then its your choice to continue to be fooled.
Yes forgive Schwartz was hired in Jan 2009. Still its been since Sparano & Ireland were hired.
and the people that endlessly protect this regime have been just as loud or louder than I.
A little sensitive Chris after last night's debacle ? It matters because the Miami fan base is tired, really ****ing tired of half-assed regimes...
I believe so, especially after last night. Drive the point home : Sparano & Ireland must go.
The present regime has been there 2 years and they are building a solid team, that will compete for years.
Because its truth, something a lot of aqua & orange glasses people around here want to ignore.
Meanwhile, NE used a lot of their starters for at least 2 series in their last pre-season game. Its the coaching. Its so obvious even the homers...
and a 2 of 14 third down conversion rate.
What did DT show you in the pre-season that showed he will be anything, even adequate ? You guys are still trying to hold on to hope where there...
Exactly. It may have prevented the 2 of 14 third down conversion rate. That was where the game was lost. You didn't keep your defense off the...
DJ I've been trying to tell you all Summer that Sparano & Ireland are most of the problem. They are not championship caliber coach & GM. You now...
It pains me more to be honest, than you will ever know.
Bad coaching. Unprepared & lacking in talent. Sparano & Ireland need to be gone.
0-2 get ready for it. Its going to happen. Basement all year.
This is why so many of us wanted Sparano & Ireland gone since the end of last season. They just don't know how to build a championship team. And...
Now do you see why I have been wanting Sparano & Ireland gone since last year ? They are NOT championship winning material. They have no clue how...
This is why many of us have not believed and have called for their heads for over a year now. Its going to be as long a season as I have dreaded.
another WASTED draft pick by Ireland
Oh wow, I hope he does, and can't be soon enough.
This place is going to be interesting tomorrow. I can't wait for it ;)
I couldn't agree more. Bill Parcells is the curse of this generation of DolFans.
4 years is enough time to build a playoff team, and this team won't be anywhere close
But Henne can't win all by himself. And its 1 win and 12 losses in the last 13 games at home. Not a way to keep your job Tony.
And who is winning by 11 ? Its over dude, last place for this whole season, get used to it. Some of us have seen this coming for months.
Some of us have been saying this for months......
Its over, Miami is in last place, never to climb out of there this year. Hello Coach Cowher !
Lucky to only be down by 7
This is the disaster some of us envisioned. We will be lucky to win the 7 I predicted before the season
well here we go, 95 yards to glory
Server cRASHED ?
The deluge has started........blowout time boys
Oh I can't wait to hear about that "Top 6" D if this continues
Dolphins will be blown out if this continues
picking the D apart......this is looking bad
It does look like the TE will kill us once again
Good illegal formation
Again Red Zone problems
Wow, Tony going for it ! GO !~
Dolphins no win last year in Miami, no confidence Dolphin fans....
Thank you for fairness Boik, and might I remind all of you, because of the way I feel, the eternal optimism of some here annoys the hell out of me...
Typical Jets windbag overhype. Go play with your Revis doll and don't tell us what you do to it.
Oh I am and a BIG Dolphins fan, probably bigger than you will ever be, because I CARE about the team, and what this FO and sorry excuse for a Head...
Yes because its my worst fears coming true.....Now its a set up for last place for the whole season. Lose tomorrow night and its really going to...
I'm a Jet fan ? Really ? When did this happen ? You must be smoking good stuff
and now if the Dolphins lose, they are in last place probably for the rest of the season. :tantrum:
Romo is an idiot
But he scored two TD's today. Who do we have that can do that ? I have no confidence in anyone on our squad.
Don't say that or the "bliss in Dolphinland" people will attack you.
This is the problem with keeping this regime, they are in a WIN NOW desperation mode. That move to cut Edds is based on what they feel they need...
And I still say because of their DIVISIONS they have a better chance to improve their records. We have 3 legitimate teams in ours, and based on...
Today should have shut up (for at least a week) those on here who have berated me about why I thought that we'd finish behind the Bills, and in...
Wowza, it's not just the evil DolFan Jake that sees this season as a trainwreck ? Goodness they truly are out of touch with reality and must...
and if anyone in the stands starts chanting for Orton on Monday night, they are idiots.
Exactly, that ship has sailed, we have Henne, he is the only concern of ours now.
Starting Colombo and I question the running game, even if we had a good OLine. Not impressed with Bush as a runner, only as a receiving RB. If...
God I hate him and his Jets azz.
Put up time is here, no excuses. Get it done Sparano & Henne or make room for the next guys who come in here.
Yes they did, and then promptly went out and lost to 3 of the traditional door mats of the league. To top it off, ALL AT HOME. :pity:
I am starting to get that queasy feeling in the stomach too. Dolphins football can't start soon enough.
I disagree. This is the team you have to compare yourself with. This regime has had 4 years to build, and now its time to show the results. You...
This game is much more important than worrying about making the playoffs. If the Dolphins win, Sparano starts buying some extra time. He loses...
Pittsburgh, Cleveland & Green Bay are exceptions. Their teams could go out there with old nuns and still have sellouts. But almost every other...
People HAVE been supporting them for years, beyond what is reasonably acceptable, and yet those loyal fans have but 1 playoff appearance that...
Also this perception that we are overrun by NY'ers and NE'ers in Miami-Dade County is a farce. It may still be somewhat true in Broward & Palm...
No but I could see where the Dolphins end up in San Diego.......the Chargers want a new stadium, and LA opens one. After a few years SD builds a...
When was this that you lived here ? Back in the 1970's or early 1980's ? Or after many of the real Dolfans started moving away or dying out ? If...
You don't have to read anything I write.......
I couldn't agree with you more, DJ. The modern fan seems just lazy & likes to be pampered. The Old Orange Bowl, may have been a pitt, but it was...
They had free agency to get this team better, and whiffed on that........
Look no farther than St Louis, Atlanta, Detroit, and Atlanta, to see teams that were as bad or have been worse than this team, since 2007 and 3 if...
Knee jerk or passionate ? You know its better to be knee jerk, than what is starting to happen down here......they don't care, and that will...
Then why post here if I am not a fan ? I am not a fan of the current players on the team, because I don't feel they will win, and we need...
Why are fans here worse than anywhere else ? C'mon give me the reasons, because if you go off on them, then you are attacking your fellow Dolphins...
That is surprising, but they haven't been winning in a long time, and you don't see their merchandise around nearly as often as you used to. And...
Well I felt he did, and with the reaction I have heard on the radio this morning its the way many other South Floridians feel too. And our...
The numbers don't lie, and you did a little backtracking didn't you ? Oh you admit that a 68,000 capacity stadium still didn't get filled ? FACT,...
He insinuated it, when he said "other fans make their way into our stadium". The way I and most others outside of the most ardent die-hards would...
Dude I do know, and I did see thousands of empty seats in the Superdome for years. Pick another fight because this is one you won't win. According...
Of course this is a factor, but don't tell that to the part of the fanbase that wants to take a swipe at anything or anyone that actually lives...
I'm tired of the Dolphins losing....WIN SOME GAMES TONY AND I'LL SHUT UP !
Sorry, but they DID NOT FILL THE OLD SILVERDOME ! The only reason they may NOW be filling Ford Field is because it is a much smaller stadium. And...
I watched those games too, and 1st if the Saints sold out, then why did so many of their fans not use their tickets, because I used to see...
SIGH, I didn't say he came from Jersey. The inference is his accent sounds like one of those God Awful people on that HORRIBLE TV show.......c'mon...
Muck, for me, IT IS PERSONAL. I have lived for years for my Dolphins football, and these guys have just about destroyed my fandom. From Ross to...
2008 5 wins, 4 losses 2009 4 wins, 4 losses 2010 1 win, 7 losses So DJ 10 wins and 15 losses is Sparano's home record. That is the truth of...
If only they would have kept him.....SIGH.......I hate the Jets with every breath I take.
The day that schmuck Sparano is gone, along with Jeff Ireland, will be one of the happiest days in my life. WIN SOME DAMN HOME GAMES TONY AND...
Sounds like Tony is blaming the fans.....why Tony ? Oh maybe it has to do with your crappy home record you Jersey Shore reject. What is wrong...
We have a good defense, but it doesn't take advantage of what opportunities it is given, and hence doesn't give its offense any takeaways and...
Yeah so far its been a pretty dismal showing by the rookie class.
Yeah but these guys evaluation talents haven't exactly been lighting the world on fire, or after 4 full off-seasons you wouldn't have this many...
Its moves like this that make me want these two clowns out of Davie. Stupid moves every year by these bums. Its why I have no faith in this team,...
All could happen, but I do have an issue with the 1st POV.... 2010 - NE 41, Miami 14 2009 - Miami 22, NE 21 2008 - NE 48, Miami 28 2007 - NE 49,...
Didn't say they were better, but I do think they end up with a better record than us. C'mon Pads don't be like that. Scheduling differences with...
I haven't watched those jackbirds for years now. I used to want to throw things at the TV all the time.
Yeah it must be most of their employees are NY area team fans, who also have an undying hate for any Miami area team. That's my best guest.
Post of the year nominee !!!! :sidelol:
Toughness of the schedule for one.....our schedule is beyond FRONTLOADED. If they struggle, like I feel they will, then it becomes more of a...
all they need is one game......I have already predicted we win 6 or 7 and they win 8 or 9.......that one game is maybe all they will need.
That is the stupid pick, even I agree with that. The Panthers I believe will still stink and if the Dolphins do stink, we better pray that Cincy...
I don't think the Bills make the playoffs, but they very well could win one more than the Dolphins. Anyone that thinks that is outrageous or goofy...
Because when ALL was on the line, when it was "just win out and get a playoff spot" and you couldn't win but one game (in NY in a game in which...
Easier schedule. Teams similar strength, and they win more based on that, much like we did in 2008.
I frankly don't care about what happens to other teams, but I know my Dolphins history, and what has recently been a rather disappointing history...
Pads, I saw what happened last year after they lost those last 3 home games. I saw the effort in NE. Getting our clocks cleaned again this year by...
Unless Henne grasps it, it looks like one of the worst ever in this franchises history. Its a gamble, and also reeks of desperation. They couldn't...
Because they see what a lot of people that don't look at the Dolphins through Orange & Aqua colored glasses see. A team that will win 6 or 7 games...
Typical BB. If he says we are good, it means he thinks we are ZERO threat to his team. Better would be for him to not say that much. If he was...
Chris you know I will be calling........ ;)
Oh Sammie your life is sooooooooooo boring :lol:
If he is lost to another team, that's one more wasted pick by Ireland. This guy is looking worse and worse. Just get rid of him Ross.
AFCE : NE 12-4 AFCN : Baltimore 12-4 AFCS : Houston 10-6 (this is the toughest division to win, because all the teams are close) AFCW : San Diego...
Actually its a bad reflection on NY/NJ that the Jets have some unsold season tickets, given their advantage in both population & higher wage jobs....
Cleveland Browns fans felt the same way....... just sayin'.
acutally in NFL terms, the Pats haven't won in a lot of years - 6 seasons, 7 if you count them losing this year (which they will :lol: )
wait a minute.....don't the Pats, Steelers and Ravens all pay big dollars to their staff & players too ? Yet they find a way to be consistent...
But with your logic, why does it matter WHERE they play ? You have said you won't spend money on them at all, so do you care where they play ?...
But in NY area you have 1) 4 times the population (19 million vs 5 million) 2) Since NY is the financial capitol of the US, you have many 10's of...
Something else is happening too, the new Marlins ballpark is opening, and they have sold over 15,000 season tickets to them for 2012. That is...
Another reason I think is economy, and many on this board, who don't live in So Fla just don't get that Miami despite its glitzy, glamorous image,...
Because despite what some people on here believe, most fans are like me, THEY JUST DON'T BELIEVE THIS TEAM WILL WIN. Its a waste of money & effort...
Because its a harder cycle to bust in the NFL. You lose lots of games you can take a franchise QB like Matt Ryan........oops :tantrum:
Only if Ross can attract a big name here. If he has to pay a preimium price, he may not think its worth it. Coaches salaries are not included in...
where is your quote from Ozzy.......I never heard Joe Robbie once mention baseball at that stadium. Link please.
DJ you and I agree 100% on that. The OB2 would be better than the Seahawks place, it would be AWESOME.
Yeah the City refused or put off for years planned renovations for the Orange Bowl which finally made it easy for the Dolphins to step in and make...
Larry, I know what I am talking about. Joe Robbie did indeed build the stadium, and with his own money. That was in 1987, and he was dead in Jan...
Joe Robbie was dead, and the Robbie family was out of the picture (maybe Tim Robbie still was part of the team, but not sure) when Huizenga...
Yes I have. Mike Dee, when he put his plan to the counties over a year ago, saying that in order to get more Super Bowls they needed improvements...
Joe Robbie died on January 7th, 1990, more than 2 years BEFORE the Marlins franchise was awarded to Wayne Huizenga. Please put the blame on one...
That's because Huizenga refitted the stadium in 1992 for baseball. Joe Robbie NEVER envisioned baseball there at all. He always wanted just...
Joe Robbie did NOTHING to bring baseball to that stadium or So Fla. It was all on Huizenga. That stadium was refitted in 1992 for baseball and Joe...
Actually Joe Robbie built Sun Life to house football and THE OTHER football ; soccer. Remember at the time he built Sun Life he also owned the Ft...
Its not the Marlins fault they have been there this long, but blame needs to be put on Huizenga's shoulders squarely. He could have built his own...
:lol:
DJ just because players make the squad the 1st year doesn't give you any indication how good the players actually are. A better barometer is after...
Its not fun to go and watch them lose...which has happened to regularly in the last 10 years.
Cincy has had a number of them. Early in 2009 they had them because most people thought they would suck, but they surprised and won the AFC north,...
Just to put things in perspective....Miami is 11-22 in the last 33 home games. not exactly a way to build a fanbase.....I'm surprised its taken...
Well he had too throw down the challenge because most people suspect its do or die, and many of the experts (including Florio today) are betting...
Oh and here is a little video highlightof the 2003 game in the OB........not a rivalry ?????? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pf3k_4Obv7g
Well you are entitled to your opinion, but most Hurricane fans will disagree with you. UF is at the top of the hated list, followed by Notre Dame....

No they could make me happy, by all of them resigning and then we go get Bill Cowher and finally become a real NFL franchise again.
another article........ Embarrassing......
Some of the comments following that article are good too...... and the most interesting one of all, because there may be truth to it.......
From Pro Football Talk : http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2011/08/30/dolphins-desperation-to-sell-tickets-leads-to-bizarre-promotion/related/
Very wrong dude, you don't know the history of the rivalry obviously. They played football every year from 1944 to 1987 until the Gators ended the...
Against possibly the worst team in the NFL. They certainly were last year. Fact is, our 1st team struggled against Atlanta, and looked good...
Wait until you see the banners flown over the stadium and the booing at the time of the Gator Worship Day. Maybe then you'll see the light.
Jim you have to understand, some of the posters on here act like or actually are Dolphin employees. and will go to any lengths to shine them in a...
Does that make it right to do it then ? I think not....they are still your tenant.
While it may not in the end, end up being even more than a thousand, why do it in the 1st place ? Why cause this firestorm when it doesn't need to...
Well did you want to help pay the universities $ 75 million part of the renovations ? As stated before the school is not even other private...
oh but His Gloriousness will be there in the flesh for them all to worship
Just bringing up the "white people" comment. It has no place in this discussion at all. No relevance and was used as a non-sequitur by the poster,...
And I get crucified for saying the same thing.......oh well Great post, and its exactly how I feel.
:up:
Unfortunately Tom Brady is more focused and likes to win. He will be partying that night, but probably at our Dolphins expense. Oh I forgot,...
This man doesn't have a clue, and guess what it shows on and OFF the field, as the Dolphins are regarded by many across the country as a joke.
Oh my, you are too hard to please. Ask them to win games ? You can't ask them that...they think you want glitz, glamour and over the top NON...
Nabo lets be honest, where are they to put a stadium ? The Orange Bowl needed renovation, and you know the school is strapped for money, its a...
For those who don't think this is a big deal, just look at the numbers....76% AGAINST. And this is an area with supposedly a lot of Gator fans....
You obviously are oblivious to the Cult of Tim effing Tebow. Grown male heterosexual Gator fans get a stiffy when they think of him. I can't even...
I didn't either, it does change the dynamic a bit. But still he is a businessman 1st and this is just bad for business because no matter what you...
That's actually very funny Sam :sidelol:
Ross did go to Miami Beach High (not sure if he graduated from there though) so he claims to have ties to South Fla. However he has lived between...
You and I can finally agree on something, the OB was the place the Canes should have stayed and spent the money for the renovation. I agree 100 %...
Then you don't understand being passionate about your college alma mater.
:lol: Sun Life is in Broward County ??? Wow the stadium has been kidnapped ! :sidelol:
Oh its not a coincidence that it just happens to be on the same day as Tim effing Tebow is playing AGAINST the Dolphins ? :sidelol: Please :sidelol:
Not the ones that take the time out of their lives to be season ticket holders to both the Canes and the Dolphins. Its a big deal. You are out of...
The true racism of some of our posters surely comes through sometimes.....just wow at this post.
Ummmm, Nooooooo, they won the BCS National Championship game played at Dolphin Stadium, the Virginia Tech Hokies won the 2009 FedEx Orange Bowl......
HUH ???? :sidelol: I take it you don't live in South Fla ? Because if you did you'd know what is being built right on top of the old Orange Bowl...
Especially since the Dolphins PURSUED the Hurricanes as tenants !!!! The Dolphins came to them, not the other way around. The Marlins were going...
You know, its better not to post something like the above, because it makes you look like a fool. You really should know THE FACTS before posting....
Miami is the 47th rated college in the latest Forbes list, the HIGHEST in the State of Florida.
SIGH.......can't you understand it doesn't make sense business wise to p.o ANY of your fans, so you just leave the whole mess alone !!! DOH ! If...
Belicheat hates to get beat, and look at what he did to us the 2nd time we played in 2008. He destroyed us. Belicheat has a long memory, and that...
Well since the OB is gone, its the ONLY place they can play. Except for the phantom stadium that Stringer Bell is going to tell us about.
Really ? Explain.....I imagine you know of where they are to put this alleged stadium ?
I'm with MB, except I think that the Dolphins keep it close til the end of the 1st. By then Belicheat has figured out Daboll's scheme, and its all...
and add angry fans, who will be booing (Canes & Seminole fans) some of which will be tanked up on alcohol, as well as Gator fans tanked up, and...
Well said, what do you say to this article Ozzy ?
I hope it happens to show Dolphins management they were STUPID to do this. They can stop all of this by announcing that Tim Tebow Day is cancelled...
You do what you want, but most on the U's Scout.com board are talking BOYCOTT http://mbd.scout.com/mb.aspx?s=13&f=2927&t=7831029&p=1
But a lot and I mean its a LOT of Dolphin season ticket holders are Canes season ticket holders as well. Even if no boycott happens, why, pray...
Well tell me what has this ownership & top brass done in the last year to make me proud to be a DolFan ? Give me the list Ozzy, c'mon give me the...
Well contrary to many of the posters on this board (whose reactions I expected) the local radio shows have been about not Henne's favorable...
Exactly you are a Gator fan, so you do what you wish, but a great many of DolFans are NOT Gator fans, and in fact can't stand them and their fans.
We'll see. Many here would like to think different because most of the people that post on this board don't live here, but I can assure you there...
This is a blog written by The Beast, who many in Miami will know from his days on Miami radio, especially at 560 wqam..........
So ? Do you realize that stadium is the Canes home field as well, and will play a game there the day before ? It's a PR nightmare, that is the...
My agenda ? Oh please tell me all about it, I'm all ears. I've been rooting for the Dolphins since their inception. This is about alienating...
I assure you it isn't considered by many Canes fans as a Moehill : http://mbd.scout.com/mb.aspx?s=13&f=2927&t=7831029
Sick if you have ever been around Canes fans you know they are the most hated. I know you must have been on the Canes Rivals.com site or the...
Are you serious, or just trying to be contrary because its a thread that I started ? I think if thought through thoroughly, you would conclude...
Oh please, the rantings of a known con artist are proving to be less than proved at this point. That 2001 Miami team was perhaps the best team...
Probably 40% of Dolphins season ticket holders are also Hurricanes season ticket holders. You are insulting them to the core.
Take the Hurricanes OUT of the question. Just inviting people to the game that will be rooting for the Broncos because they are Tebow fans. YOU...
Does it even matter ? Even if Tebow isn't with them, to celebrate the accomplishments of a team that is the MOST HATED RIVAL of your own tenant,...
They are planning to "celebrate" the Gators 2009 NC when Tim Tebow is in the house. Of all the STUPID things this franchise has done this may...
By the way, its the 10th aniversary of the Hurricanes 2001 title ? Are the Dolphins going to celebrate that ?
I am P.O.'d The Dolphins are going to "celebrate" the Gators NC with Tim Tebow on Oct 23rd. The Hurricanes use that stadium for their home...
I agree, it looks like Henne can be at least serviceable. But now our OLine and running game need to step it up. But I'm not very optimistic that...
I mentioned Henne ?!?!? So far Henne has been better than expected, but it is still the pre-season. Lets see what happens on Sept 12th, when...
This really shows the incompetence of Sparano & Ireland. I am not sure what is going on there. Is there still tension between the two ? Is Ireland...
Some of us have seen this coming for a while. Even though the Dolphins lost, I feel a little sense of satisfaction. God help us Sept 12th.
Who said the stadium will fill up ? But if we go 0-2 even some of the die-hards will stop going. You really need to stop putting words into my...
4 offseasons and this is what we get. Inexcusable. Sparano & Ireland need to go. Those who think this team is going to the playoffs are really...
I've thought for months, since the schedule came out that we'd start the season 0-4 or 1-3. We may play better down the line, but if our OLine...
No I believe he'll be gone by the bye week if we start out 0-4 or 1-3, which is very likely if we continue to have OLine play like tonight. The...
It might be the worst, and we have an OLine GURU as our coach ? God help us !
You can laugh now, but when we are 0-4 or 1-3 and Nolan is named interim coach remember this thread. Ross will not be happy if we start that way,...
They don't have the luxury of having a month to figure it out. If they are 0-4 or 1-3 Sparano is definitely on the hot seat and they would need to...
Interesting......
But they will still blow. Big Jake can make a difference, but he can't save this team. 4 offseasons and this is what Sparano gives us for an OL ?...
You would be correct sir
:tantrum: :tantrum: :tantrum: :tantrum:
Trusnick doing his job ! Take a lesson Colombo
oh well Fansano gets them out of the hole at least, better punt position
that looks bad, Henne threw it badly
Nothing, UGH....offense looks horrible after the TD drive
Penalties ! :tantrum:
Nice run by Bush
Lets see if this drive is different
they punted, that's better
well at least we held them to a FG attempt
very lucky, we are Winslow was wide open
every one making arm tackles, UGH
By the way, Colombo blows
and we have an OL GURU for a HC......4th season and this is the OL we get ?
Holy crap....OL looks like they ate dog crap after the TD
After 3 years in the league I wish "can be" was being replaced by "is" in his comments. Potential can only get someone so far, they have to show...
A lot of people care for this team, it just doesn't mean we all believe in the direction they are going. I have been, and things like this make me...
A huge gamble, and we still need to give him some time but still if I was Ireland, I wouldn't have done it this way. If Thomas busts Ireland will...
This is one of the reasons some of us have been concerned about this season. Now it looks like one of those rookies the rah-rah crowd were so SURE...
Link please.
yes !!!!!! Dj is spot on with this !!!!!
Yeah I give him props if its a REAL change, or not just lip service at the beginning of the season. As it gets tighter and tighter in the season,...
Yeah it seems like we have to give that a rest, it is, what it is...
Question is, why wasn't this move made 2 or 3 weeks ago when you could have picked up someone with less off the field issues, for barely over the...
Only one of them is a Jets fan, Greenberg, the other one, fat Golic, hates Miami because we cut him and ended his career a year or two before he...
It is starting to feel like that. But who knows, maybe another "accident" like in 2008 happens again ;)
Dj as much as we dominated the Minny game, you have to admit, that if Favre makes that pass on his last drive and ends up scoring a TD we lose...
Well it does depend on his season this year at U$C. He is already considered one of the top 5 prospects, and if he plays well, he should be the...
Henne is the problem that I continued to hear about in the off-season. Has he done enough to overcome that in his fellow team mates minds ? We...
and the 1st two games are important because of that. We can win all of our preseason games and look good doing it, but if we get manhandled in...
I agree its actually losing to teams we should beat that has been our downfall the last couple of seasons. But the national media sees 7-9 and...
Newton to me is a repeat of Vince Young. VY had people always blowing smoke up his behind since he was a 14 or 15 year old. He never had any sort...
Because they comprise one quarter of our schedule, and most think we'll lose all 4, and last year we did lose 3 of them. That puts a team in the...
Even I, who does't think we'll be very good, doesn't think we'll be that bad. I have us at, 6-10 to 8-8, but 3 wins or 4 wins ? That is just...
I voted 5th round and only as a WR/potential TE prospect. but those character issues make me squirm about even giving up a 5th on the guy
Called last week and told them I was upset about new customers getting NFLST free and here I am an 11 year loyal customer, and have had NFLST for...
Seriously when I first got a modem, it was a 4800 and I couldn't believe it 6 months later when I could double the speed and get a 9600.......I...
Excellent news and the best thing that has happened to this team in a few weeks. This improves the offense immediately by 2 fold.
Livas sure does make a difference and its exciting, the best since the Ginn days. However something has me worried a tad. On the radio today they...
DT with a nice run
Fasano with the dropsies still
Oh if only New England had thought that about Belichek (and his disaster in Cleveland) and not hired him......if only !!!!! :tantrum:
DJ can't you see I feel the same way when I read some of the "eternal optimists" posts ? I'm glad you can see the merits of not snidely...
Here is a screen shot of the radar......looks like we should escape the rain tonight...
Dry so far......
Actually looks like to me that its clearing a bit, or at least less than it was an hour ago.....check out the radar again and look at the loop for...
You're the one that said that they would agree with you.......none of the rest of us. DJ there is no reason for us to be like this. You do...
