If we start winning now, will you want to watch more or less?

I'll watch every week regardless. That being said, now that theyve avoided going 0-16, I'm perfectly fine if they don't win another. Sparano is still gone at the end of the year, and the higher the draft pick the better. Wins at this point don't make me any more or less proud to be a fan. Not making the same mistakes that this team has made the past 10 years would make me proud, however.


Many thanks to the awesome staff and members of the site, all of whom contribute tirelessly to an incredible Dolphins fansite.

I'll watch every game. I will take a win in Miami in our stadium hopefully against the Skins.

I don't control any outcome.
It's foolish to will your team to lose.

If they keep winning, I'll still watch because I won't be able to look away. Sort of like a trainwreck. In all seriousness though, a nine-game winning streak does nothing for us at this point. It'd be nice to watch, but in the grand scheme it's all for naught.

Headcoach material wouldn’t want to work somewhere they’re not trusted with actual football decisions.

Gotta beat Dallas. I'm sure every person on this board knows at least one cowgirl fan they want to shut up.

It would be one of the best things to happen to the culture of this fan base in a long time if some of the Suck for Luck people got discouraged and stopped being fans.

I'll still be watching them just the same (I wore my Brandon Marshall jersey to the bar today) but I'll probably pay more attention to the games rather than being distracted by other TVs and 1 particular waitresses who I'm betting has trouble seeing her own feet.

Oh sure, and to me, there are still some good stories on the team, like Bush and Moore and Jimmy Wilson and Charles Clay.

Right now, I'm just kind of enjoying the win and being hopeful.

You're not taking any sort of valiant stand with "Suck for Luck". You're not sacrificing this year for anything down the road. You've sold yourself a bill of goods. Luck is not guaranteed to break us out of anything, it's not an opportunity too great to pass up. There's no such thing as a can't miss prospect, and the performances of guys who have been labeled as such in the past should sort of serve as a warning.

Luck is a genuinely great prospect, but this **** is out of hand.

I'll watch the same as I always do! Cheering, ranting and raving for almost every game since the 1800's.

Hell yes, we won today!!

No, I'll take things one week at at time! 1-7 as of today and finally happy after 8 weeks.

Take what we get and always root to win...

I'd like to see JT move up the all time sack list as well, there is stuff to be interested in for me at least.

exactly. the question should be : what's left to root for.

imo, nothing.

Statements like this just make me shake my head. Nothing to root for? We won....ONE....game and now this franchise is doomed for the next 10 years.

Agree 100% this franchise sucks at losing as well. There is NO good reason to win 4-5 games. The fans are not going to buy tickets to home games anyways. Our Coach will be fired at end of the year, Our GM will be let go, we will have 3-4 wins and get the 4-5th pick in the draft for our winning which did nothing for the team except hurt us in our efforts to get a franchise QB.

This team just plain sucks. Sparano is going to screw us on the way out trust me.

We suck because we lose....and now we suck because we win.....one game

You guys are TOO much :sidelol:

This is still a young team, playing well is obviously important. Having some of these youngsters develop is important at this point, they need to learn how to perform well and win. We aren't going to get rid of the entire team next year, we have a lot of talent, its important for the team to remain competitive. You cannot be upset with a win, you just can't. We will be picking in the top 5 and that gives us a great shot at a franchise Qb, it doesn't have to be Luck to win a title.

Well here's what I wanna know Pads. Not that I see it happening, because I truly don't, but playing Devil's Advocate....

What happens if everything has now finally clicked, and we win out the rest of the season? And not just close medicore games, but win decisively every remaning game like we just won today?

Holy Crap Batman!!! Do we fire Sparano? Leading our team to 9 straight victories? Do we shop for another QB when Moore will have on track, 24 TD's the rest of the season? On track to score 248 points in 8 games?

Will all of the naysayers have been wrong the entire time?????

When we lose, I console myself by knowing we will have a new head coach in 2012.

And what does that even mean? I mean, the high draft spots we've had in recent history....

2008: #1; Jake Long (other notable 1st round selectees...Matt Ryan, Joe Flacco, Darren McFadden, Felix Jones, Mendenhall)
2007: #9; Ted Ginn Jr (other notable 1st round selectees...Brady Quinn, Darelle Revis)
2005: #2; Ronnie Brown (other notable 1st round selectees...Braylon Edwards, DeMarcus Ware, Aaron Rodgers...Kyle Orton 4th rd, Matt Cassel 7th rd)

So to me, draft postiion really doesn't mean that much. Its being smart and drafting the RIGHT player for your team. Aaron Rodgers has a Super bowl championship...and wasn't draft first overall...and i'm sure I could have sifted though the draft sheets and found others, but didn't feel like it. I was only listing notables
