EDIT: Updated for 2023. Cleveland winning a championship got me to thinking about my teams that I follow and how long it’s been. Sometimes being a completely loyal supporter sucks.
Dolphins – 1973 – 49 Years
Capitals – 2018 – 4 Years (I cried, damn it felt good)
Wizards – 1978 – 44 Years
Pirates – 1979 – 43 Years
Penn State Football – 1986 – 36 Years
Red Devils – 2014 – 8 years (Long time for them)
OK fine, I’m sucked back in by your new attitude and the last two games. Shame on you for not playing like this before but I get it when your work environment sucks and you have no faith in the people running the ship.
This is a huge game, on national TV, against a divisional opponent. DON’T LAY ANOTHER FUCKING EGG … AGAIN!!!!! You don’t have to win. I don’t know if this team is there yet but you must compete. Don’t embarrass us fans again. If you do, I’m done until you make the play offs. Even if that is 10 years from now.
Well my Fins took another step forward this week. I don’t mean the Defense playing lights out or the game that Camarillo had. No it was the way the team responded with the game on the line. Offense gets the ball with 11:10 left on the clock in the fourth quarter. The Dolphins are up by two and Denver has the momentum after just scoring a touchdown not to mention the 95 yard kick return. (Special teams need to get shored up) Pennington steps into the the huddle and tells HIS team they are about to put the game away. 80 yards, 15 plays and 8 minutes and 2 seconds later Pennington and the Dolphins had done just that. It has been a very long time since that has happened. It was very satisfying as a fan to see it…VERY satisfying. It was a small step but it felt REALLY good.
Hmmmmm, where have I seen this before? A big game on the national stage. Running game was totally inept. Defense played great early but got tired. Stupid, bad penalties at the worst possible time. A quarterback that made bad mistakes with the game on the line. Take the names off the jerseys and wind the clock back 2 years. That was what we saw Thursday night. Wanny ball all over again. God I hope this isn’t a preminition of how the season is going to go. Then again I had that thought 2 years ago too. By the way, it was Tennesseee and the score was 17 – 7 and the Dolphins finished 4 – 12 that season.
