Gone Fishing

As bad as the Dolphins have played this season, there is one thing that has bothered me the entire season that actually doesn’t have anything to do with the actual team and coaches. The format of the Dolphins schedule has really bothered me. The man to blame is Steven Ross, and his need to upgrade the stadium. The Dolphins should have just put up a Gone Fishing Sign on their stadium for the first half of the year, because they have only played at home twice so far this season.

I understand that it is important to have a comfortable stadium that will help draw fans to the games. This renovation was done with the idea of hoping to attract more Super Bowls to be played at the stadium so the owner could make more money. However, the only way to actually fill the seats for Miami Dolphins home games is to have a product that is worth wild to see, and that product is a team that wins and is competitively involved in the playoff hunt. Most football betting software providers would agree that the Dolphins are not one of those teams.

As a result of the renovations to the Dolphins stadium, the Dolphins have had an extremely lopsided schedule that has caused them to play most of this year on the road. It does not take a football gambling genius to realize that road games are generally tougher to win than home games, no matter how bad or good your team is. The Dolphins are going to be playing their 9^th game this season this upcoming weekend, and of those 9 games they will have played in Miami a grand total of 2 times. I truly can not remember a team in the NFL having this few home games by the time the middle of November hit.

Sure the Dolphins lost a home because they played in London (and why are we always in London?) but to have played 6 of your 8 total away games by your 9^th game of the season is just unfair. Yes I know that if the Dolphins had a better team they could have won a few more of these games, then they would be in the driver’s seat for a playoff spot with a remaining schedule loaded with home games. However, when compared to the other major sports in the United States, most fans would agree that home field advantage is more of advantage in the NFL than the other sports, like MLB, NBA and NHL. In addition since the NFL has a lot fewer games compared to the other professional sports in the United States, it makes each of these 16 regular season games extremely important, and leaves little room for error, or time for a team to be in a slump. So when a team has to play 75% of their away games by just over the halfway point of their season, it is not entirely fair and is a recipe for disaster.

To me this just shows one more reason of why the Dolphins need a new owner, because Ross has no clue how to run a football team, let alone a winning football team. What does the rest of the Miami Dolphins News fans think about this ridiculously lopsided schedule that has made the Dolphins play on the road for most of the first half of the season?
