this is arguably going to be our most disappointing season in years because they really fooled a lot of us.

 

The good news is Soliai and Starks not helping us win ball games lowers their price tags, or shows us we don't need them in the first place. Our front 7 isn't getting torn up or anything but their not earning any big contracts the way things are going. Their money could go to Oline next season.

 

They have no leadership. The coaches are new and don't instill any confidence. T'hill gets in slumps and is not progressing as planned. It's just unraveled as everyone know it would starting with the OL and run game. EVERYONE SAID IT AND WE DIDN'T BELIEVE IT.

 

They fooled everybody, even the media thought they were playoff contenders three weeks ago. They are the same old crap we're used to seeing.

 

Why? So Teflon Jeff can shat all over it?

 

Remember when we all laughed at Heath Evans for saying the Jets would be better?

 

Let's see how we really end the season. Maybe we can overcome these losses.

 

Just stop. We haven't even played the Pats or Jets yet, the teams we'll be challenging for the division. We're 3-3 with 5 division games left, plenty of opportunity to rise in the division,

 

We will be 3-5 soon. I don't even know what the schedule is after that. It's time to consider the very real possibility that Miami is actually the worst team in the division.

 

believe me man, im usually pretty positive round these parts.

Not today.

 

Yea, but after starting 3-0, Ross told all the Ireland supporters that he had signed Ireland to an extension during the off season. So at least the few Ireland supporters and his family felt good for a week anyway.

I always thought the best this team would do this year was 9-7, if everything broke right for them. I thought 8-8 or 7-9 were probably more realistic, since I still thought this team has a lot of very mediocre talent.
Right now, I think your 6-10 prediction is probably about where this team will end up after this season is over. They will be lucky to go 1-5 in the AFC East games.

 

Don't forget this team also beat luck and ryan. I think we can put together a nice winning streak after the NE game.

 

When you can't beat the supposed worst team in the division at home after a bye you're going to have a long year. Only about a quarter of teams that started 3-0 have not made the playoffs and this team is going to do just that.

 

The Falcons are not good. The Colts win was a fluke.

 

Based on your statement, I have to assume you think Ireland will be making the selections for the Dolphins in the next draft. If that is the case, I don't see how anyone could be looking forward to another draft with Ireland making the picks.

The Jets and Bills both have rookies on their rosters who are on their starting offensive and defensive units. The Dolphins had more picks than either of these teams in the draft and they have no rookies starting for them on offense or defense. Ireland sucks as an NFL GM and how everyone can't see this, who are true Dolphin fans is beyond me.

 

Uh, sure.

 

But people said we have the easiest schedule and blah blah blah? We just got beat by Thad Lewis, and by the way, Thad would like to thank the Dolphins for giving him an NFL career. Because of this game, teams will now think of him as a back up quarterback option for the next decade.

 

What are you disputing? That the 2-5 Falcons are not a good team or that the Colts are better than the Dolphins? Miami will not win a game in October.

 

The year the Packers won the SB, the Dolphins beat them earlier in the year. Last year the Dolphins beat the Seahawks in Miami. All those type wins mean is that on any given game day, an inferior opponent can beat a better team. This doesn't mean that the Dolphins were the better team during those seasons. It just means that they were the better team on the day they played those teams. That is the case with the Dolphins game against the Colts.

As far as the Falcons game. It was two mediocre teams playing against each other and the Dolphins were less mediocre on that day.

It is what a team does over 16 games that matters and the Dolphins have shown over the past four years that once the season is over, they are nothing but a mediocre team. It appears they are headed for another one of those mediocre seasons in 2013.

 

Sorry about that. I was hoping that you didn't want Ireland in charge of another Dolphin draft.

 

Your response was dumb. If that win was a fluke, then this loss was a fluke. I can use the same dumb logic.

Fact is, we're 3-3. We'll see how they do.

 

The team is clearly trending downwards and getting worse as the season goes along. If you want to stick your head in the sand and pretend that's not happening have fun. It's clear at this point how they're going to do. No better than last year.

 

Yeah I don't get it. It's much easier to just accept what's going on and move on. It's frustrating as hell today but tomorrow I'll have accepted it and be able to watch the games in coming weeks knowing what to expect. Some weeks will be better than expected for sure but I know in the end that I'll be watching other teams in January. That's fine, I can't control the performance level of the Miami Dolphins. It's sad watching the futility of the Miami Dolphins organization over the past decade plus. I don't understand how an organization can fail so consistently for so long.

 

I agree 100%. The problem with this organization starts at the top and that is Ross. As long as he remains the owner, this team will continue to lose fans and games.

 

It was clear we were trending upward, then we lost three straight. This is the NFL. You never know what will happen.

I'm not sure what will happen, but to be as ignorant as you are about this will not help you get through this season. Let it play out.

 

If this was baseball I'd be on board with you. I don't see a happy ending here. Agree to disagree. It's not ignorance to see what's obvious. Of course I'll let it play out. I can't exactly forfeit the season. I'll watch because I have Sunday Ticket for free this year.

 

I'm not so sure. I think even the most die-hard fan would argue that Atlanta out-played Miami in that game. You could see cracks in the foundation even in that win. New Orleans magnified them, and two sub-.500 teams, Baltimore and Buffalo, have also taken advantage.

 

I don't agree with that. Regardless, I don't think anyone expected 3 straight losses. So I don't see why we can't expect a winning streak. This is the NFL. It's 4 months long, not 2.

 

The book is out. It's like a young player in MLB who can't figure out what to do once all of the pitchers start pitching him a certain way. Philbin and company can't figure out what to do apparently.

 

Look at teams that progressed late into the playoffs. You'll see very few string 3 losses in a row. At the worst, you need to win two and lose one. The better teams win 3 and lose 1. Losing 3 in a row just leads to frustration, futility and angst. at 3-5, the team and coaches will be in abandon ship mode.
