Is there a reason that the game is at 415 et?

I have no clue. I would assume this is Ross' idea of improving our chances of winning.

 

Dolphin organization made not starting at 1 a priority. Thought it would get more fans to attend , one of many decisions that can be viewed as questionable.

 

Ross considers the Dolphins such a juggernaut that he felt all 1pm starts would give the team an unfair advantage.

 

Ross requested the non-1PM starts early as to avoid some of the heat/humidity for fans.

 

Epic Fail!

Edit: Unless we win today against a team we have never beaten.

 

That may have some validity to it. Not such a dumb idea if that's the case.

 

While its been an advantage for the team on the field though? I think fans would rather sit through the heat and let the team have an advantage on the field then not. Although not sure since the bubble was built if the great advantage is still all that great. I think the main reason Ross wanted the time change was to get more fans on the west coast. Allows the west coast to see the game at a reasonable time.

 

Ross is a jerkoff and he is going to destroy this franchise.I have a fear this team if it doesn't start to win this idiot is going to sell it and who knows if the new owner keeps it in miami.

 

man, seriously. I have live in PA and totally have the money for tix but can't obviously. Ungrateful SOB's

 

This. Pretty much. Word for word.

 

I hate playing at 4. Waiting 3 more hours blows.

 

Ross doesn't seem to understand that the product on the field dictates the fan following, not the time of day. I've sweated with no complaints as we are beating a team....I'm sure I'm not alone. My message to Ross:

Put a better product on the field and the time of the game won't matter and perhaps it even is an advantage to the team...of course he can't figure that out, can he ??

 

Someone needs to get laid.

 

Now I dont have to fight with my uncle on whether to watch the Bills or the Fins though!

 

The way our defense looked out there last week, thank God that we are not playing at the hottest, humid part of the day! Our guys are not conditioned as well as they have been in the past.

 

Exactly. I might be a little more upset if these hot home games were an advantage for Miami but I haven't seen that in the recent past.

 

It used to be that 1:00 pm starts were an advantage for the Dolphins in September and early October when they played at home. The heat was suppose to wear down the opponent. Based on how out of condition many of the players on defense appeared Moanday night. It is probably a good idea that the Dolphins play later today. It shouldn't be as hot with a 4:15 start as it would be with a 1:00 pm start. Of course it will be hotter than it was for the 7:00 pm start on Monday. So hopefully the Dolphins spent the week getting into better condition.

 

This. The advantage is meaningless if the players on the field suck (like the last decade).

 

Lose the heat advantage but gain an actual home field advantage if more fans do showed up because of it.
