ok i took it a bit to the extreme(didnt mean to imply that peolple were saying sb or luck) because thats the way SOME on this board have seemed to act over the last few years..i undertsnad that most on here at this point are lookin gat things realistically as more of an 8-8 (yea right)season vs worst record and 1st pick and i am basically in agreement on the so called suck for luck bandwagon..but this team has slid to its current satus imo more as a function of overall team mentality beign very soft and weak..i dont think a rookie qb can turn that around (MAYBE be the spark that starts a new attitude)

that being said as much as it pains me to say it i hope we los.....ok i cant say it but i hope we are in the position to draft luck next year(baby steps im getting there)

People said that pro teams don't trip players on the sidelines too. yet we saw it last year. Watching the colts blow a 17 point lead makes me think differently too.

guys are too busy playing to keep a roster spot or gain a better contract then to do an organized tank...hell even if they were apt o do it for all they know they will be traded next year anyhow

now i could see ross saying sit Long to heal him and at the same time hoping that improves our shot at luck but i don tsee a team trying to position themsleves esp. this early in the season as i said thay are alll more worried about thier own futures then the dolphin organazations

No way any player would "Tank" . Your right about organized anything. But the word could come down from above to the coaches. The wrong subsitutions, don't manage the clock, you could really stink it up quick.

With our coaching staff how would you know??

Good point. ^^ But I was reffering to the Colts. they want to continue the QB excellence and respect the posistion enough to let it go to shite for one season to score Luck. Something Miami should of done in 99' when manning was Taken.

Not a chance. There's no guarantee that anybody, coach, player, or FO will be here next year. These people are too self-centered to not look out for no. 1! They can only be sure of "now", and they know it.

You must be joking. The Dolphins were 11-5 and AFC East champions in 2000.

If doesnt matter if we tank the game or not. We suck and we are going to lose. Too bad indi is even worse.
