No reason to be optimistic, we have crap now, no identity, no plan, a lame existence, a QB who has to go, and a head coach who isn't the answer.

 

Jennifer Lopez is back on the market.

 

Welcome aboard Cheetah71. Lifelong Dolphin fan myself. Gotta admit things haven't been the best for awhile, but this team has a solid core. If we can get a good Rb and some sort of veteren Qb in FA things should be alot more interesting.

Trying to be optimistic!

 

You get to be a fan of the same team as me.

 

Welcome to Dolfan Therapy session with your host...shoot who is our host again? Where's Sick? :lol:

Im not as pessimistic as some but yeah we need a few good signings here and better Qb play.

 

So when is the mass suicide scheduled?

 

September 12, 7 PM.

 

jeez. typing on these android pads suck.

 

It could be worse...you could be a Cubs fan

 

'71 was my 5th year of following the Fins so I, like many here, feel your pain. That said, I'm not convinced it's quite as bad as you seem to think...

Henne may or may not be the answer but he hasn't exactly had much of a supporting cast around him. Add to not having great talent around him to the joke of a OC that he's had for 3 seasons and you just might come to the conclusion that he may, just may have some untapped potential. It's not a given, but a real possibility.

Sparano may or may not be the answer, but his foundation as a coach is good and his mentor has built good teams wherever he's been. You also have to remember that when he did come on board here, we were bereft of talent at just about every position, save for a couple of aging defenders... Last January our owner tried a bone-headed maneuver to replace the guy, so now he's really running scared.

All of that can be considered excuses or it can be considered justification for the struggles of this franchise. But here's the bottom line: Right now, Sparano is our HC. Henne is our de facto starting QB. Neither are going anywhere until at least January.

We can lament our position in the NFL hierarchy or cheer the team on and hope that the light comes on for Henne, Sparano can improve in his game day management and Daboll can move this offense to somewhere in the middle of the pack versus the #31 and #32 rankings of his offenses the last two years...Choice is each of our own decisions' to make...

EDIT: BTW, welcome to the board...

 

Adios, pal!

You don't want to follow the Dolphins, start rooting for the Bears. You want a reason to be optimistic? I got nothing for you. I see no reason why our team will be any better than last year. Suck it up or waive goodbye!

This x100. Tell it to your Facebook or something.

 

No. Why would it? He's been a fan nearly twice as long as you've been alive. He's been through a lot more of these "tired of losing" episodes than most.

And what's with the 3rd degree? The guy, like all of us, is frustrated. Let him get it out.

 

There's already enough ****ty, low content, whining posts here as it is, and there are better places like the Rant forum or like maybe not posting it?

 

We should have one of the best defenses in the league this year. That is out identity. Mike Nolan's defense.

 

No, we don't or won't have a good defense. We have crap. I'm pretty confident I read it somewhere.

 

ah sarcasm thy name is Stitches.

 

Losing Jason Allen was a tough blow, but I think we'll survive . . . somehow.

 

Dude, that is in poor taste man. 80+ innocent people lost their lives. Grow up. For someone following the phins since '71 you sound pretty childish.

 

Sitting through 2 weddings, a funeral and watching a giant wall of paint dry is even better than fricking soccer.
