Here's the thing- if anyone gets mad at me for hoping the Dolphins win next week, then that's not going to hurt my feelings one bit. And if they stay mad each time the Fins win and our draft position falls, then I can live with that too.

Why? Because those people and I are fundamentally different.

They want a Super Bowl, and they'll never be happy until that happens. And when we win it all, hooray....that's awesome. But then there's the following season where those people are angry all over again. Thirty-one teams fall short of their goals every single year. That's 96.9 percent of the league, for the math folks.

So if winning it all is all that matters, you're going to be let down 97% of the time.

For me, my goals are much more simple. I want to see the Dolphins win next week. And whether or not that happens, my hopes for the game after that will be exactly the same. Just win the next one...or fight hard while trying.

Here's the thing though, I'm not against the Super Bowl or Bust folks. I actually feel bad for them, because they couldn't enjoy us beating Buffalo or Washington. They're too fixed on us building the dream team that tops the '72 Dolphins as the greatest of all time. And hey, I'd love that, I really would. But I just don't need that to be content because it's an unattainable dream. Even when you do win it all, the season continues the following year.

I mean, look at KC on the verge of 3-peating. But they didn't, and now they're in the exact same position we're in. Does KC suck? Should their fans hate Mahommes and demand Reid to be fired? Where do you draw the line? They've won one more game this season than we have.

Again, 97% of teams come up short every single year. That's just not the standard I'm going to use to determine my happiness with NFL football.

yeah and don’t feel bad for us because we would like to strive for better things than a 4-7 season in year four of a regime knowing what we know..

We don’t have selective memory we would like to find the right people to elevate the franchise

If you get the number 1 overall draft pick, let's be honest here. You suck...suck BADLY! and no one player is going to make THAT big of a difference. Your team has more holes than a block of swiss cheese. Whether we have a winning season or a losing season, I want the Dolphins to play every game to win. I want to see where we are good and where we are bad so we know WHAT has to be addressed in the draft or free agency. Losing to lose...to get a higher overall draft pick means you are just that...a loser.

No teams lose to lose, there a right way to do this once we are mathematically eliminated that is productive and constructive to your team and future

No offence to you as you are a good dude.But nobody is saying SB or bust.
Hell I would be happy with a playoff win.Its been 25 years and that is unacceptable.
I can truly see this team if I live that long going to 30 years if Ross is till the owner.
