I was at the pats game last week and left by the 4th. Ive seen the dolphins lose 8 or so times at games and always stayed at the game. Last week felt like a stab in the heart, i dont even want to watch the game. I just hope tannehill continues to be our qb of the future and plays like it

I`ll still be watching every minute, every play....don't really know any other way. Depressing though knowing we had the playoffs in the palm of our hands for the second year in a row and blew it.

I have a tee off time at 8:30 am locale time. That will 1:30 pm eastern time. I have set my DVR to record the game and I plan on watching it only if the Dolphins win. I have no interest in watching it if the Dolphins lose to the Vikings. I will check the score when I get home from the golf course and see if the Dolphins won or not.

At this stage of the season, with the Dolphins having little chance of making the playoffs, my interest in this game is a 1 on a scale of 1-10.

My main concern now regarding the Dolphins is who the next head coach will be and who the Dolphins will select in the upcoming draft.

It's basically something to do today... but as far as "excited"? No. The season is over at this point...

Honestly hoping we lose if that's what it takes to get a coaching change. Very depressed today.

In all seriousness, as others have said, I'd like to see Ryan Tannehill finish the season strong. Especially considering how he finished the final 2 games last year, if he puts up 2 bad performances to finish off a questionable December, it will create questions about his ability to finish strong and may cause top coaching candidates to give pause before considering the job.

On the other hand - If he can light the world on fire these next 2 games then candidates would have to feel pretty good about taking over a team with a promising young QB. The media and everyone else tends to remember the most recent performances of a QB. That's why nobody talked much about RT in the offseason. They remembered the last 2 games and not how well he played the rest of the season.

Right.... Tannehill's stats as of now are 22 TDs, 11 ints and 3390 yards. If he can post about 500 yds, 4 TDs and 1 int over the next two games (doable, IMO) he'll end up at around 3900 yds, 26 TDs and 12 Ints, which would be a pretty respectable stat line and would show consistent progress from year to year.

Pretty close to zero.

I know it's not in our best interest to win, but I can't help but root when I see our colors on that field. I really have no control over those feelings.

How sad that our clueless owner has put fans in this tough position where they feel they have no choice but to root for losses just to secure the dismissal of a coach that should be fired regardless of how our last 2 games go.

You play to win. I want a winning season and I'll be cheering as hard as usual.

Me too. I know it won't matter but would rather be 9-7

Low. Even if everything unlikely happens that would need to happen [Steelers/Ravens lose out, Jaguars beat Texans next week, Chiefs beat Chargers, Bills lose 1 of 2], they'd probably still mess it up.

But on the bright side, if they lose you don't need to be mad about it. They'll finish 3rd, which could mean road game vs KC instead of SD. Who knows who the AFCN team would be, would prob want Cincy.

I only got to see the very last of the game and I loved seeing them win.
Even if it was for pride their The Miami Dolphins and I and any win is good enough for me.
I love them win, lose or draw!
