Miami Dolphins Thread of Despair

if we lose this I'm gonna be on suicide watch.

not just cuz we lost. but cuz they coulda saved me 3 hours by losing 42-0

I'd kind of like to see overtime now, just for the wtf-ness of it.

Oh, don't worry: We are going to lose this game.

WE Dolphins fans must have been child murderers in another life.

No. It's just payback for the perfect season. Sadly, the Patriots are riding a karma wave because of all their horrible teams in the 70s/80s.

How sad.

god...fucking...dammit.

God, just for that, I'm joining the Church of Satan

Ginn = miracle man?

so do the '76 buccaneers get together and pop champagne in the event that the dolphins eventually win?

Um, no.

x-post

They made a joke earlier about the 76 Bucs tapping a keg.

Don't worry: There's still 2 seconds left.

3-0? That's a soccer score.

you guys never should've stopped playing at the orange bowl. pats went more than 20 years without a win there.

hey, how did willie parker do?

it wasn't a banner night for anyone.

do you realize that the last time we won was almost exactly a year ago?

WTF on those last two plays?

Amaturish.

fuck, parker gave the other team 8 points, i lost by one.

THANKS FOR THAT NEGATIVE ONE POINT YOU GAVE ME DESHAUN FOSTER.

that's twice this year i've had a player give me negative points, i had to start jason campbell on derek anderson's bye week and i wound up in a tie. fuck.

so when I trek down to Dolphin Stadium with my best friend and his wife next week.....never in a million years did I think we'd be winless going on this trip.

lolll

Cameron sounds terrible in his post-game conference.

completely meaningless game. beck looked really good again considering circumstances. it would have been nice to win, but we aren't going winless. we will beat the jets or the ravens.

I love how he was trying to rationalize not attempting the FG the second time---when Feely had better turf to kick from!!---and, instead, going for it on 4th and 11. MORANS!

Worst game of all time?

Beck didn't do bad at all. considering he ran out of running backs and had very bad footing, I was pretty impressed.

Cam is going to have shit smeared over his front door tomorrow morning.

We can beat the Jets. Can't see us beating the Ravens.

this was beyond retarded. if anything they should ahve just pooched it. the ball was stopping dead where it landed, it would have been a cinch to get it inside the 7. no way pitt was going 90 yards.

i thought it was a pretty fun game to watch. since the field was fucked it added a pretty fun little element to the game. a 13-9 titans/raiders game in perfect conditions is much more worse game ever than this.

I have to think if we still had Trent we'd maybe be 2-9, or 3-8.

or hell, Ronnie. by week 17 we're going to have Ki-Jana Carter at running back

i'm really serious about the dolphins beating the ravens. remember i'm saying this. the ravens are really, really awful. this year, they've beat the jets by 7, the cards by 3, san fran by 2 and st. louis before they were healthy by 19. we really could win the game (it's at home btw).

yeah if ronnie was around we'd have won a game by now.

Technically Miami's offense has yet to score a TD with John Beck. Last week was with Ginn on a return!

also about the Ravens, I don't see why we can't beat them--I'm with j0rdan on this one.

Offffff. I dunno..If we don't beat the Jets next week, look out below.

i mean you can't really count the pitt game in there. we had 4 plays from the 1 against the iggles, so i guess we've "scored" w/o scoring. if cameron had just called a run play up the middle or something on 4th and 1 from the goalline we wouldn't be having this discussion.

oh I'm in no way blaming Beck. if anything I think Cameron's babying him too...and being stupid. which he's apparently good at.

at buffalo isn't totally out of the question, i guess.

i think cam's done a decent job with him, in terms of like, letting him throw on third downs and stuff and not running draws and screens on 3rd & 9 or what have you. cam makes like 2 or 3 really boneheaded decisions a game, but i'm willing to give two years, tbh. he inhereted a truly awful team, took his guys, and he's playing them. he deserves time, not to mention firing him after 2 years really isn't gonna do much unless you're hiring andy reid or bill cowher or something.

well are those rumors still out there about him being a candidate for a college job?

i guess but i can't imagine many college fanbases would feel good about getting a coach with a career 0-11 record, so i can't imagine that he'll be hired.

yea but it's the NFL...success in the two are often exclusive. he was winless when they first approached him too :)

no i know but you get what i'm saying.

"hey look we know the guy won exactly no games in the nfl but he's really gonna be good at this college thing, we swear!" etc.

Yea. I dunno, part of me thinks Cam is just more suited to be a coordinator. I wonder if Miami would have acted different if they know Marty would be available.

Not that that would have made a world of difference, I mean, Miami being 'bad' this year wasn't a huge surprise. Being THIS bad was.

That's the worst thing, though. Miami's not stupid bad, they're just unlucky bad. And an unlucky team is always more painful to watch than one that just sucks outright.

Problem is they thought their defense would hold up forever.

I still find it funny that Beck has Fiedler's number. talk shit about Fiedler all you want, dude played on winning teams and he did pull out some crazy comebacks

i don't think miami is "that" bad. as i've stated on this thread before, i think we are only two or three players away from being competitve. we all know the stats on how close the games have been. if dude from texans hadn't made the longest kick of the year, if player x had caught y pass etc. etc.

yeah and he made the playoffs and even won a game. i like dude.

yea but some of that is misleading to a degree.

It took a frantic comeback from 18 down to make the Jets game a three point affair, which still hinged on an onside that we didn't recover. and that Giants game, we didn't close the gap until 3 until late as well despite the Giants practically insisting on giving them the game.

certainly this team isn't the 1990 Patriots or the 1991 Colts but they've had some atrocious games. I think we are many players away from being a .500 team. Fortunately the NFL is the type of league where quick turnarounds happen frequently...and supposedly we have a lot of cap room next year.

guess but i can't imagine many college fanbases would feel good about getting a coach with a career 0-11 record, so i can't imagine that he'll be hired.

pete carrol was a mediocre pro coach, seems to have done alright at usc. some guys are just cut out for the college game (i'm looking at you steve spurrier).
