Heat and Marlins have won championships more recently, but it is the nostalgia of the Fins that keep the fans loyal. With an 0-11 record who knows if Miami will win a game this season. If they do, what will happen. I think nothing will happen as far as the fan base goes. People will still be fans, still go to games. For example, this weekends matchup of 2 of the worst teams in the NFL, Jets-Fins, is already sold out at Dolphins Stadium. It is a huge rivalry, but while both teams are bad, the fans will still show up. Maybe not as many as usual, but yes fans do have the right to be a bit upset with management. It's been 5 consecutive years, that in some way, shape, or form they screw up in the draft, screw up in their coaching changes.
They get rid of Wandstedt and instead pick up Nick Saban. Why? Saban did not seem to ever
really want to leave college ball, and when he did he suffered and went straight back to where he belonged. Now they have Cam Cameron. Supposed to be a savior coming out of the high octane Chargers club. But Miami has been anything but high octane, with one of the most injury ravaged offenses in football.
They are already down to their third string rookie QB, John Beck. Down to their LAST running back. Even after Ricky Williams was reinstated he was lost for the season just 5 carries into his return. Star linebacker Zach Thomas has been out for a few games, and may be out for the rest of the season.
It is in a way kind of sad. And it only figures that somehow, while the fins may not win a game all season, their in division rival Patriots are gunning for the undefeated 1972 Fins.
But as a Fins fan, here is my prediction for this weekends matchup. It's just about their last chance for a W. The fins will win their one and only game this weekend, at home, against the Jets. Final score: Fins 2- Jets 0!
PS- There's always a first overall pick at the end of the tunnel of a horrible season. WAHOOO!

It is extremely ironic that this season brings the strong possibility of the Patriots accomplishing the undefeated season like the '72 Dolphins. The irony is definitely in the fact that Miami has just as great of a chance not winning a game in that same season. I do agree though that this weekend against the Jets is their strongest chance at a victory this season. However, the storybook ending would involve the Dolphins only victory coming as the Patriots only loss when they go head to head.
the fins will not win this season after getting demolished by a 2-9 Jets team this weekend. Throughout the season, the Dolphins had been playing hard. However, now the team just looks mentally drained, obviously from all the losing.
