I've been a fan since 1984

[Notsince1985]

I've watched a lot of good and bad Miami teams and games. There have been more games under Mario where we not only should have won, but should have dominated. This game today should not have been close (Trader drop that turns into an INT) the 87 penalties after Bauman's catch down to the 8 or so. Miami should have been up 17 or 21-0. The fact that Mario has assembled so much talent, makes these games and seasons more frustrating than Shannon/Golden/Diaz seasons. Maybe Mario catches lightning in a bottle like Coach O did with Burrow and company, but I don't see it. Miami will win between 8-10 games on talent alone, and Mario never gets fired.

He’ll collapse here just like everyone else. Then we’ll hire Jon Secada.

Is he still alive?

 

[Hurricane23]

at least I know im not tripping, I kept saying the same thing during the game, we should be up 2 or 3 touchdowns right now

 

[StoneWallLoungeCane]

Is he still alive?

Per wikipedia, yes. And the coach in waiting. He’ll be bringing Emilio Estefan as GM.

Can Bruce Hornsby coach ‘em up?

 

[El Huracan]

He’s not guy but we are stuck with him for a while … and it sucks!

Could they possibly be any worse?

Yup. I know the age difference is huge, but this is where I give Coach Larranaga credit. Miami wasn't going to fire him, but he realized it wasn't working and walked away.

That is almost every game

 

[stormsurge]

it's incredible. it's like a massive underdog limiting the number of plays to keep the game close, I thought this in the 1st Q.

 

[Notsince1985]

That is almost every game

Unfortunately, yes.

Could’ve had Lane train.

I have never seen a team do the worst possible thing they can do in every single situation for 4 straight quarters. Hours later, I'm still sitting here wondering if this is a dream I'm stuck in because it is too impossible to believe.

Everyone kept saying, "if this team can just put it together for 4 quarters." And we finally did put it together for 4 quarters. We played the game we've been building to. Every single flaw we have we put out there for an entire game, 4 quarters of everything everyone has been fearful of since game 1 when we went to sleep against Notre Dame.

And this is the reality of Mario. His teams erode to their worst tendencies as the season goes on. It is the biggest indictment on him as a coach. It's why I don't think it's going to work out. This game was terrifyingly eye opening for me. It's not going to get better with him. This is it.

Still can. But we won’t pull the trigger.

What’s even worse is the financial backing will slow down and eventually stop and we will still be stuck with Captain Caveman.

Low key I would be somewhat happy with this.

It’s just another day.

 

[The canesman]

The team has been a disaster for over the last 20 years and I don’t see anything changing

 

[Notsince1985]

The team has been a loser for over the last 20 years and I don’t see anything changing. Anything less than a championship is a fail.

Agreed. And, I think I've reached the point where I'm fine with it. I don't lose sleep over the Dolphins losing like I did when I was growing up, and I'm done letting this team ruin my day/night/week whatever. I'll just spend my time yelling at refs at my kids' soccer games.
