I see everyone getting super excited about Miami being 8-3 and in the hunt for the 1 seed which is great and all, but how about termpering expectations? Still 6 important games to go. And then the playoffs.
We were in literally this exact same position last year. 8-3 and controlling our own destiny for the division. The game @ SF was considered to be a potential “super bowl preview” by the media.
And then December happened. 5 embarrassing losses in a row. We were a disgusting fluke 11-6 win against Joe Flacco’s rotting corpse away from having one of the most monumental late-season collapses in history. You can say it’s different this year, the schedule down the stretch is easier, yada yada. But we also just saw this team barely pull off a home win against a Raiders team with Aidan O’Connell and an interim HC. Is that Raiders team really better than the Commies and Titans? If they are, it’s not by much. This is the pros and wins usually don’t come easy, even against the “bad” teams. And what if Tua or Tyreek gets injured?
All this to say, this team still hasn’t proven shit. Shit can still hit the fan down the stretch. Still 0 playoff wins since 9/11. Still no division title since the wildcat year. Still no AFCCG appearance since Bush Sr.'s presidency. So as someone who’s watched this team be perpetually mediocre for a verh long time, I’ll believe it when I see it. Until then, I’m still holding my breath. So I don’t wanna see fans being obnoxious and acting like the phins deserve to be talked about like the Eagles, Chiefs, 49ers, etc.
Miami’s next three games after going 8-3 last year were at the 49ers, Chargers, and Bills. This year they’re at the Commanders and then home for the Titans and Jets.
Our three upcoming opponents are on a combined 10 game losing streak and they each lost their most recent game by a combined score of 113-37(!!) Besides the Panthers and Patriots, those three are playing the worst football in the NFL right now.
Last year we quickly went from 8-3 to 8-6. If that happens this year I will delete my account. You can take my word for it.
Some of y’all cannot stop whining and it’s hilarious
Fuck that. I’m excited for the Dolphins. Whether I’m excited or not has no bearing on what happens on the field, so I might as well be happy and ride the good times.
I’m having fun and choosing to have fun. I’m not getting in the way for others to share their past pain from past misery, but I’m going to have fun with it all while it lasts. Too much bad shit in the world.
This is the perspective this fan base lacks.
I mean why even waste time following a team if you cant believe in them and if they let you down you completely fold on them. Its sports, somebody gotta win and somebody gotta lose after 23+ years of being solid shit, you want us to not get happy now that were winning? Like someone above said you must be a brand new fan cause us long time fans aint trying to hear that shit, its FINALLY our time for some joy and we dont give a fck how anyone feel about it tbh
Yup. The December collapse is real lol.
Shut up honestly, I’m glad we’re doing this well and we are a top 10 team in the nfl
