I don't know about you guys, but I feel our suffering is about to subside a bit.. Excitement is in the air in late March and we have ton of draft picks that can impact our team. Philbin is establishing a great team identity and is proving to be both a hard *** and an intellectual coach. EXACTLY what this franchise needed. Ireland is cleaning up his image a bit and is taking chances that a Parcellian organization would never look at. Our logo is changing and our identity is transforming.
I for one cannot wait for 2013. We are due to break out of this funk with a weakened AFC East and a boatload of young talent.

Feels good. -
Kinda, in that I am very interested to see what Tanny can do with some real WRs. I don't expect the playoffs this season though.
-
Cautiously optimistic
-
Actually, I am, in past yrs I had serious doubts heading into the year.
Some see holes at OT and Cb, I see teams winning with subpar talent there so to me it is not as important as it was say 10 yrs ago.
What I do see is guys who can make plays and average guys in positions that really don't matter.
Would still like to see a Cb or 2 added, otherwise I think we are in good shape for a team that basically missed the playoffs the last two years due to losses to the Bills and Jest, if we had swept we'd have been in the dance at least. -
I'm also VERY, and I mean very excited to see how god awful the Jets and Bills are going to be..

I'm still to nervous about Tanny to get excited without seeing improved play from him. Face it if he plays like he did last season, even with an improved WR corps, we are not going anywhere.

I am also concerned about wheeler and ellerbee. Dansby and Burnet were both good players.

I haven't felt this good about the team since 2009, but I'm still nowhere near sold on Tannehill or Philbin. Both worry me.

Its about time this team unloaded the clowns and jekwads. -

Back to original post. Always excoted for the season to start. Its more then just the game. Its time to get away and forget about the rest of the world. I love the game.
-
I'm excited about next season but I'm excited about every season... couldn't get here sooner!

I normally wait till the Marlins are in last place to get hyped for football

Give me a true shutdown corner,or a Jason taylor like compliment to wake and another true game changer for tanny like tavon Austin.Ireland has 11 picks in this draft and he needs to find a star or we will looking at 8-8 or 7-9 again with this schedule.I am cautiously optimistic! -
While I still have huge question marks concerning Ireland, I like the direction the team is headed under Philbin, so I have decided to purchase season tickets for the 2013 season. I also plan to attend the Dolphin game against the Bucs in Tampa.
My expectations for 2013 are realistic. I expect this team to continue to improve, but I will be surprised if they actually make the playoffs. I still think they are probably at least two years away from being a legitimate playoff contender, but depending on how their drafts picks develop in 2013, this could change.
I am looking forward to this coming season with more anticipation than I have in quite a few years.oakelmpine likes this. -

Seems to me that Philbin wants to build a morally-based roster built on mutual respect and hard work with a sense of thankfulness. I wouldn't want it any other way! I am definitely excited, but doesn't it seem that no matter what this team does, they get no respect from the national media. All the cheap shots on how we've paid too much for the FA's, and whatnot. Winning cures many ails though.
And for the new logo/uni's, I believe it's a ploy to make us buy Madden this year! (How many have a "buy it every-other year" mantra? LOL!) -

I think what separates this offseason from the last 10+ is that I don't feel that we have to resort to "how bad the jests and jills are going to be". We actually have some things to look forward to as Dolhpans, but it's always nice to see the the jests and jills struggle...heck we may even be seeing the downward edge of the pasties as well...
Seriously, I have to temper my enthusiasm for this team until the draft, but yeah, it's encouraging to be optimistic at this point. And looking forward to the draft as I haven't for several years... -

I'm exited. I honestly don't know if Miami will be a better team record-wise but I fully expect them to be a more exciting team to watch.

Not excited or worried about the season yet. The draft is to important, so I am focused on that. I love the fact that we have so many picks this year and would welcome trading our early 2 for a 1 next year, unless there is someone there that we can't pass up. I have been so envious of how the pats have manipulated the draft, for years. Maybe this year is an example of how ours will be for a while.

I only play franchise so nothing else they added was any value to me.
IF it goes back to PC, then I might try it, otherwise, EAsports can just bite me. -
