without a drought Posted August 12, 2017 Share Posted August 12, 2017 The Kool aid is flowing and people are enjoying the new flavor, but when would people start noticing a funky aftertaste. 1-3 with only win over Jets, or maybe 2-5 or 3-5. Something makes me think that the same people applauding everything now will be the first to do a180. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beast Posted August 12, 2017 Share Posted August 12, 2017 Kool aid...... can we move on from that word? Seems like a lazy word to throw out when one can't really articulate a good arguement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RoyBatty is alive Posted August 12, 2017 Share Posted August 12, 2017 (edited) Kool-Aid? I dont see any evidence of what you are implying. Any fan with half a brain realizes we are in a rebuild mode and expectations are going to be extremely low, by mid season the dialogue will be about our future franchise QB. 2017 season is a lost season, deal with it. If they go 1-15 or 6-10 what difference does it make. I will be happy if we do nothing more than clean up Rex's mistakes: reduce penalties significantly, have reasonable clock management, appropriate challenges, learn how to substitute players on time like a real NFL team. Also like to see them develop Jones and see what Peterman has. Edited August 12, 2017 by RoyBatty is alive Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
without a drought Posted August 12, 2017 Author Share Posted August 12, 2017 Kool aid...... can we move on from that word? Seems like a lazy word to throw out when one can't really articulate a good arguement. I didn't want to confuse anyone with big words. It really seems more like blind hope that this time it will work out. There just is little to back it with a first time coach and GM. It doesn't mean it can't or won't work, just that there is no track record. Everyone has to start somewhere and who knows how it will turn out, I'm just surprised how much backing they are getting on every move, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everyone has to start somewhere and who knows how it will turn out, I'm just surprised how much backing they are getting on every move, I can only speak for myself but I am excited about the possibliy (never a sure thing) of landing a franchise QB next spring. We have all bitched about not having one since Kelly was under center. Well, that may change starting in the very near future. On top of that, players like K. Williams, incognito, Wood, most likely Clay and McCoy will have to be replaced in the very near future. The draft is how the best teams seem to build.

SlimShady'sSpaceForce Posted August 12, 2017 Share Posted August 12, 2017 We still have a good QB and running back duo and other pass catching talent. If we add in a better defense who knows. In the Ginger 🔨 I trust. The honeymoon ends at the end of '18. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HuSeYiN_NYC Posted August 12, 2017 Share Posted August 12, 2017 We never used the word Kool Aid... it was either red drink or purple drink. Then came Tang. When i was introduced to actual juice from real fruits, it was too much to bare at once. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YoloinOhio Posted August 12, 2017 Share Posted August 12, 2017 I'm not sure. The dolphins started out 1-4 last year and then ended up making the playoffs. It takes awhile to build a culture and adapt to new schemes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Something makes me think that the same people applauding everything now will be the first to do a180. If you're waiting for them to fail so that you can hate on them, then there is not a single thing that they can do that will make you remain optimistic. Most fans know that anything can happen in the NFL. For me I'm looking for improved play, disciplined play and always being competitive. Won loss record is not necessarily the yardstick for success this year. I'm looking for a team that doesn't embarrass themselves or look unprepared like in the past few years.

Magox Posted August 13, 2017 Share Posted August 13, 2017 There will be no honey moon. There are already a decent amount of fans who are upset with the way Beane/McD are reshaping this team the way they envision it to be and that involved getting rid of Whaley and Watkins which definitely had their defenders among fans. So to win those people back they will have to earn it. However on the other hand there is also a contingency of fans that believe there is actually a clear purpose behind McD/Beane who will most likely give the benefit of the doubt and time realiz9ng that this is a rebuild of the franchise. My guess is that it will get ugly at first and hopefully we steadily improve throughout the season and that best year we hit it out the park with the draft Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
