Yeah, tough luck for Brady and Belichick. Must have been too hard to steal those defensive signals on the road.

I wish I could bath in Brady's tears.

Closet nut hugging Patriot fans masquerading as Dolphins fans that don't know you're supposed to hate division rivals and rejoice in their failures should find another sport to watch, IMHO. Winter Olympics is here, maybe they would be into curling?

How dare we celebrate a loss from our rival....

We suck, it's just fun watching them suck too. Even if it's only for 60 minutes.

Regardless of what we do it's always fun to see Brady and the pats struggle.

Dude if you don't understand hating the Patriots and reveling in their failures then you are simply not a Dolphin fan.

I think not. I've been a Dolphins fan for decades, but Tom Brady is one of the best QBs ever and actually should have six rings- the three he has plus the two that he should have won against the Giants and the year when the Pats lost to the Colts in the AFC championship game. It wouldn't have bothered me in the least if Brady and the Pats won another SB this year- the only thing that owuld have bothered me a little is Patriots fans, who can be douches. But I rarely run into them them anymore, so whatever.

Of course I root for the Dolphins against the Pats, that's a given. But once the Dolphins are out of it, I have no problem with deserving teams winning it all- and yes, that's with the whole cheating scandal aside, granted. I'll be fine if Manning and the Broncos win it or San Fran, but I'm not all that big a fan of Pete Carroll, Golden Tate or Richard Sherman- if not for them I'd probably want new blood like Seattle to win it all.

What is all this "we shouldn't," "how dare we,"...speak for yourself.

I personally loved watching them get smacked...I don't care about injuries, I don't care about roster...Bellicheat and Marcia are still there, so I love it!

Sorry Jim, but I can't get on board with that. No way, no how. No sir. Next to a Dolphins victory, the next best thing is watching the Patsies lose. And, the expressions on Tammy's face when he's down and knows he gonna be on the losing end of things, well...that's just priceless. Yeah, I was happy to see it. Very. Happy.

Go Peyton. Get your second Lombardi, and firmly cement yourself as one of the greatest QB's of all time.

You dont win it all, your season is a failure. Failure is the same whether you are 1-15 or 17-1 like the Patriots were a few seasons ago. Every season Tom gets older and is denied another title....I love it.

That's fine. I've been a Dolphins fan since the early to mid 70's and I was born and raised down here, so I don;t have to show a Dolphins loyalty card to anyone. We had a hell of a run in the very early 70's, which I was too young to recall, my first defined memory was the playoff loss to the Raiders in 1974- that opening kickoff return by Nat Moore for a TD that got my Mom so excited, that crazy TD pass from Stabler that made me run to my room and cry- we had our run, including some great years in the 80's that were a blast, including seeing live the '85 AFC championship game where Marino carved up the Steelers, amazing.

The point is, the Pats had a heck of a run since about 2000, and it easliy could have been a lot better- 2 crazy late passes from Eli Manning and a major blown opportunity against the Colts, they would have won that SB easy- for those who don't think that they have been a great run organization for the last 15 years- I'll just disagree. And if we're out of it and they win, that's fine. To each his own.

So you're saying the teams that beat them didnt deserve it since they should have six rings according to you? Can I take away rings for games in the playoffs they shouldnt have won?

What a load of crap. If you're 2-14 as opposed to 14-2 but don't win the Super Bowl those seasons are equally failures? Don;t tell that to the coaches who went 2-14 as their a**es are kicked out the door.

What I'm saying is that they should have won the whole thing the year that they lost to the Colts in the AFC championship game, they should have won in the first loss to the Giants with that redic helemt catch by David Tyree at the end and they probably should have won the second game against the Giants, even with Gronk out. They did get quite lucky in the first SB run agianst the Raiders and maybe against the Rams iirc, but regardless, they could easily have won six SBs instead of three.

Yes they are equal failures. The only consolation for the 14-2 team is knowing you will probably have a chance next season. Our season would have been as much a failure had we made the playoffs and lost first round as it was the way we went out.

You don't get a consolation prize for winning. You win or you don't but there is no in between. Not to say as fans we wouldnt enjoy winning more, but in the end no title is no title.

That is just ridiculous. Are you old enough to remember when we went to the Super Bowl in the 80's twice? That was a heck of a lot better than not going to the Super Bowl. Compare 1982 or 1984 Dolphins years and equate them to years of going 2-14 or something comparably putrid- again, ridiculous. Just look at this year- it would have been far better to actually make the playoffs, forget about the SB, than go out as we did at the end of the year and whiff on the playoffs- if you can't see that, then there's not a whole lot more to say.

Sorry but I call BS. SB and playoff appearances are so coveted that you'll find a fans of any teams bragging or reminiscing about years where they came close but did not win it all. Only 1 team wins it all every year...so if even 2nd place means nothing that in this fickle, impatient North America pro-sports wouldn't be as popular or as profitable.

Jacksonville has a fanbase...a team that has never won a SB has a strong following partly because they used to be good once upon a time. Playoff-good, not SB good or SB champions.

By this logic Dan "The Man" himself is a complete and utter failure...17 years and no rings? What a joke of a QB right?.....

What a load of horse fertilizer.... I want to be in it, kicking, biting, gnashing, butting, beating, jumping, and scratching every moment of every game... There is a whole world of difference between 2-14 and 14-2, and I don't know ANYONE who has played the game who feels any different!
