I’ve never been an advocate for tanking or anything like that, but Grier should be fired now because here’s the nightmare scenario; the longer he stays on, the more time it gives him to throw away more money and high picks for overpriced, older, oft injured, underperforming, soft players. Ahhh! No! He must be stopped!

 

All losing does is prove you are a loser. Losing instills a loser mentality. You can't lose intentionally and expect to be a winner.

 

Grier isn't getting fired. Tua is guaranteed for the next 3 years. McDaniel isn't getting fired. Winning out will make us better going into next season. Losing out will make us losers. Never root against your team.

 

Then next season will be no different. You draft a QB, you have like 5 years to be a contender. If you aren't making real noise in years 3-4, then it ain't gonna happen.

Everyone knows this, but we just ignore it in this situation.

 

Wait… I was told that no one here is actively rooting for the Dolphins to lose?
Lmao

 

We still have a very real shot at making the playoffs. Rooting against your team at this point in the season in the situation we're in is pathetic tbh. But hey it's your prerogative if that's how you feel.

 

Misunderstood pump. Thought you were advocating tanking.

Apologies

 

Not intending to instill politics, but don’t you sometimes wish Donald Trump was our owner?

Like him or not, the man’s not afraid to say “You’re Fired”. Grier would have been gone ages ago!

:lol:

 

For the record we have two posters (StaleTacos the other) now explicitly making the same argument for why they're rooting for us to lose: it (marginally) increases the chance we fire Grier (really unrealistic of course).

Just saying.. nobody should go around trying to twist this into saying "no one is rooting for us to lose".

 

Me too.

 

Well, it‘s understandable no matter how unlikely it is that Grier is fired. It’s not like that they’ve showed that they‘re one of the title contenders in this league despite going all in. It’s no secret that this team is soft and probably has the wrong blueprint to achieve anything worth of notice. The only chance to get rid of Grier is losing, even if it is a slim one.

 

According to USA Today, the Dolphins have only won 1 game in the last 32 years in which the temperature at kickoff was 23 degrees or lower.

if this is indeed true, pointing fingers at coaches or players is irrelevant. This spans back to the early 90’s, even with Shula and Marino.

 

That was the back end of Shula and the start of our demise. Jimmy got us a D but that was to late for Marino, then Pornstache took over and since then we‘ve been in this limbo of mediocrity we‘re in.

 

It's not about whether it's understandable. It's about you, resnor and others trying to twist what is written in black and white into "no one is rooting for us to lose". You did that last time with what StaleTacos wrote. It was a completely unnecessary discussion.

 

The guy who claims the most that no one is rooting for the Dolphins to lose “liked” the OP rooting for the Dolphins to lose. Lol

 

Yes. Openly rooting for the Dolphins to lose on a Dolphins’ fan forum isn’t “stirring the pot”.

The absurdity is overwhelming.

 

Sorry but in this case it's those posters that claimed no one is rooting for us to lose when it was stated in black and white that are stirring the pot unnecessarily. That kind of systematic misrepresentation needs to stop.

 

Here we go again. This thread will be closed by tonight.

 

As the season has increased in number of games, and thus gone deeper into winter, the Dolphins have gotten worse.

And when you actually look at the teams we’re playing in the winter isn’t no surprise. Out of the last 5 games with weather under 40 degrees, 2 were against the Bills, one each against KC, Packers, and Titans. 3 of those teams had 11 or more wins and the Packers are on the way to that.

 

Good.

 

Yes. Rooting for your favorite team to win is stupid.

 

When teams lose at Miami in September it's always "the heat". When Miami loses to elite cold weather teams on the road in December and January it's "they suck fire everyone".

 

So let’s lose even more!! Brilliant!

 

Yup except we don't get September 1pm home games against cold weather teams anymore. Josh Allen cried about the heat so the NFL fixed it for him.

*edited for additional context. Baby Josh can't breathe in the heat so we get him at home under the lights.

 

I don’t root against the team and I don’t twist anything, that’s the specialty of others. Let’s stick to football and not discuss and judge others for their opinions…

 

*you’re

 

We can talk opinions, but "OMG we need to lose every game, this sucks, he sucks, fire him, fire that, we are never going anywhere it's been 25 years OMG wah wah wah" over emotional kiddie stuff will never get the time of day by me.
