Thank you for providing a clear definition of a weak fan...

20 years of cheering for a terrible team while living 1,200 miles away and only being able to follow the games by constantly hitting refresh on NFL.com is a weak fan?

3-3 and one game out of the division lead doesn't take them out of the playoff hunt and no where close to 7-9. Keep trolling panther fan.

It's 3 games closer to 7-9 than they were when everyone was over the moon about their start. They're no longer even one of the top two teams in their own division. 6 teams make the playoffs. 7 teams have a better record than Miami, and if their showing against Buffalo is an indicator of how they will perform from here on out- against a third string QB and with 2 weeks to prepare- they may not even make 7 wins. I may have to revise my prediction. -EK

Can't argue with this in any way. You just can't stress enough the part about us having 2 weeks to prepare against a 3rd string QB at home. 7 wins is a stretch with this O-Line.

You're talking to a lifelong Padres fan who has never lived in San Diego... I'll see your 20 years and raise ya 17 more.

A fan never leaves his team...period. Getting all boo-hoo over a bad game and whining about not being able to take it any more...yeah, that's a weak fan.

Just calling it as I see it.

Division games man. I point to the Pats who lost to a jets team with a rookie QB today.  Stick with the Panthers because you have no idea what your talking about.

Hang in there Edge.  I know how tough it can be, and I have a lot of respect for Dolphin fans that didn't grow up in S. Florida, but have stuck with the team through all these lean years.

I have to believe that one day, we will be rewarded for staying loyal.  I think of all those years that the Saints were so so terrible, and how sweet it must have been for the "real fans" when they finally won the Super Bowl. 

This was a bad loss.  It makes you question everything we are doing, but I still have faith that Philbin can fix these problems and we can get better.  Don't give up.

[Brian Fein]

Saints are a better team than most other NFL teams.

The Ravens are defending champions, and we lost by missing (badly) a last second FG. 

Now, Buffalo, IMO, we handed them that game.  I think the Dolphins are a better team, although adjustments need to be made.  I do, however, think that playoffs might be a stretch if this O-line doesn't get some improvement.

Anybody who has been a fan through this big of a drought is not a "weak fan".  Watching your team find ways to lose week after week for 10 years (or more) isn't easy.  At some point you truly question why you watch.  If we had been good in the relatively recent past I would criticize.

[Sunstroke]

^^^ I suppose I could substitute "whiny" for "weak" in that statement to appease the charter members of the bleeding hearts club...but I still think that talking about no longer following your team because they keep losing is pretty darned weak.

[bsfins]

This is what makes me hate "fans"....I love when we win, The Dolphins should beat everyone,and suddenly we attack the trolls,and naysayers......When we lose,Fire everyone,Everyone Sucks, we'll never win anything...and the trolls come out,pointing all the "I told you so"..

I've been to 1 Dolphin game my whole life 2009 in St. Louis,never lived in Florida. I wouldn't have gone if it weren't for Stl finfan. Never been to Cubs game,hell they haven't made it to the World series since my mother was 2,my Grandfather lived his whole life and never saw them win a World Series....I was kid the last time the Dolphins went to the to the Superbowl....

I admit the new logo change hurt my fan hood,but I still love the team on the field.It's my team....Win, or lose.

I'm not talking anyone back, "Ahh you can't think that way...." I don't care,honestly,It's a game....

I'm just a fan..I'm along for the ride....Sometimes it's good,sometimes it's bad....

[AZ Fins Fan 55]

As frustrating as yesterdays loss was and the last decade plus has been......even with the worst fucking logo that I will never wear. They are still my team.....ride the highs and lows either way!!!!!

[Phishfan]

To throw in my $.02 here. You completely lost me with your rant about rooting to see Miami lose. I can understand frustration and have felt it myself but please take that type of attitude somewhere else if you expect any sympathy.

Why did you choose the Dolphins, if you lived in NY? 

[EDGECRUSHER]

Why did you choose the Dolphins, if you lived in NY? 

One was because of Marino, and the second was that the Giants went with Hostetler over Phil Simms. I was like 10 and my loyalties ran deep, even though it was the right move due to Phil's age.

For the record, I am not picking a new team. I have actually grown to loathe the Giants almost as much as the Jets and Patriots. I just can't see the silver lining anymore, not even through the draft or free agency. Just gonna step away from football for awhile and replace it with soccer. I don't care if it makes sense, I refuse to call soccer "football".

Go Arsenal!

[Denver_Bronco]

The entire NFL is pretty bad. Watered down with the rules and the addition of the stupid Thursday nite games that make no sense, other than to line its pockets with nfl network money. Every week i look at the schedule it gets worse and worse..1-5 vs 2-4, 3-3 vs. 2-4. One relevant game on the schedule per week. Its simply make the playoffs and see who the luckiest team is nowadays. I can barely stomach watchjng a halfaa game per week the play is so awful. You get some jackass like Victor Cruz on an 0-6 team dancing around cause he caught a 5 yard slant.

Miami fits right in with everyone else. Wouldnt be so disappointed...
