If you are reading this you know I’m a huge Miami Dolphins fan. If you didn’t know it before you knew it because you read my rant about my fellow fans I posted a couple months ago https://beckypalmer.me/?p=475
As you may or may not know, the last month of the season was pretty stressful for us Dolfans. The team caught the injury bug BAD and we lost a couple games in embarrassing fashion. But we still managed to make the playoffs. Barely.
Then the playoff game happened. In Kansas City. Yes, Taylor Swift was there. It was -4F at kick off. Beer froze. Equipment shattered. Mustaches froze (yes really).
To put it mildly, the game did not go well for Miami. I know all teams are hurt this time of year, but were without 6 out of 11 of our defensive starters, 3 out of 11 of our offensive starters, and had several other players that were game time decisions due to injuries. It is virtually impossible to win when you are that hamstrung by injuries. But it still sucked to watch.
But this was still the best season we’ve had in ages. We went 11 and 6. When our offence was on, it was ON. Tyreek Hill set the single season yardage for the Dolphins and had 6th all time highest yards in a season all time, and he didn’t even play in 1 and a half games. Couch McDaniel has reinvigorated Tua’s career, made Miami a contender, and is crazy smart (he went to Yale). There is no reason to believe we can’t be even better next year.
So you best be believing I’m still a fan.
