A Playoff Appearance
All Miami Dolphins followers need for Christmas is a do-or-die soccer sport. In the phrases of Rose from Titanic; It’s been [what feels like] 84 years!
Since coming into the NFL in 1966, the Miami Dolphins have made the playoffs 23 instances and gained two championships. On its face, these outcomes do not sound terribly dangerous.
Unfortunately, peeling again the layers of the onion on these numbers reveals simply how dangerous the Dolphins have been at making the postseason for the reason that flip of the century.
The Dolphins’ final postseason victory got here towards the Indianapolis Colts… within the 2000 wild card spherical. Since then, Miami has solely made the playoffs twice (2008, 2016) — and paradoxically, each appearances featured a radical ass-kicking by the Baltimore Ravens.
At this level, most Dolphins followers would gladly welcome a playoff ass-kicking.

Permanent Throwback Uniforms
Enough is sufficient. It’s time to offer Miami Dolphins followers what they’ve lengthy requested: Make the workforce’s universally beloved throwback uniforms a everlasting fixture on Sundays.
Unfortunately for Dolphins followers, the group and proprietor Stephen Ross proceed to flirt with shopper happiness, refusing to submit last approval to undo the huge emblem and uniform overhaul the workforce unveiled in 2013.

What higher time to make an announcement that the uniforms will grow to be everlasting in 2023 than whereas sporting them at house on Christmas Day?

More Dan Marino
Based on pure expertise, Dan Marino would be the biggest NFL participant of all time. Coincidentally, he performed for the Miami Dolphins and has lengthy been employed by the workforce.
Yet by some means, for years now Marino’s publicity to Dolphins followers has been restricted to some picture ops. It’s as if one of the best participant in franchise historical past is a few cousin we have by no means met who lives in Nebraska. Every yr Dolphins get an intimate chat with members of the 1972 workforce, however relating to Duper, Clayton, and Marino — largely crickets.
Dolphins followers need extra Marino. Give the individuals a rattling New Year’s Eve Twitter Spaces, or one thing. Anything. Just extra Marino.
Please do it now, earlier than he is too previous and retired to care.

Super Bowl LVII Champions
If Santa is basically taking requests, then Dolphins followers might as effectively shoot the moon and hope to land within the clouds. Let’s finish this horrible 50-year championship drought with a victory in Super Bowl LVII in February.
Some Dolphins followers have not seen the workforce hoist the Lombardi Trophy since they have been children. Others have by no means seen Miami win a title of their lifetime and simply hope to witness one earlier than they die.
Why cannot 2023 be the yr that ends all this ache? Give the reward of giving this vacation season, St. Nick! Miami wants a soccer title. It’s been far too lengthy.
