out of 4 home games, the fins have had 3 ‘night time/prime time’ games.

Can I be the dolphins next coach. What a nightmare game. Hopefully they find a good qb this year in the draft. A wr opposite to marsall. Hartline likes to cath the ball and slip lol. Running backs are gettin old too. They need some fresh feet. They still need a couple more years rebuilding because this season is over
They’ve had 5 home games. I’m not going to bother looking up which ones are prime time. I know Tennessee wasn’t, I know Chicago was.
The only home game they’ve won was against Tennessee.
I cringe every time I hear the so-called experts say Bill Parcells righted the ship down here. They’re not 1-15 bad anymore, but they’re nothing special either…
