as far as i'm concerned there was no football played before 1990 and i will not count any so called "championships" won during that time.

*I only count championships from before 1961. Back when men were men and went both ways, none of this new age sissy crap.

4 of the top 7 are taken up by 2 teams in the same 2 year stretch. God save Lions fans. He already "saved" the St. Louis Rams.
 
Surprised 1-15 dolphins aren't on there....they were awful....

6 of those losses were by 3 points or less (including a 3-0 loss to the Steelers on Monday Night Football. yuck), most coming down to the final minute. To be fair I didn't really pay much attention that year or the next so i'm sure they were worse than I remember.

Browns not in the top 10? That's a win in my book.
 
WYTS Dolphins http://deadspin.com/why-your-team-sucks-2017-miami-dolphins-1798422357

I’ve been begging for the release/disappearance of Tannehill for years and boy did that become the biggest monkey paw wish in history.
“Jay Cutler had his best season under offensive co-ordinator Adam Gase”

**Looks up 2015 Chicago Bears.

6-10, last in the NFC North.

**Looks up how the Dolphins did following last playoff appearance (2011).

6-10, third in the AFC East.

Looking forward to it.
A month ago I would have said it’s because Ryan Tannehill was somehow approaching his fourth straight “make or break” season, which made no sense. Maybe would have added a joke about how Tannehill couldn’t even fully tear his ACL. Ha ha ha! Except.... oh shit! Now I would seriously give anything to go back to that situation.
Can’t wait for Brady and Belichick to retire so we can get pummeled in the first round of the playoffs every two years instead of every eight years.
A friend (and fellow Dolphins fan) sent me this shortly after the Cutler signing “So they aren’t getting any worse, and they definitely aren’t getting any better”. No single sentence in history has more accurately summed up an entire organization.
Patrick Willis
Marshawn Lynch
Darelle Revis
Lawrence Timmons
Reggie Nelson
Joe Staley
Jon Beason
Greg Olsen

Just a few of the Pro-Bowlers drafted in the first round after Cam Cameron took Ted Ginn Jr. 9th overall.

Eat shit, Ted Ginn.
Fuck you, Cam Cameron.
My dad was just entering his teens when the Dolphins last won a Super Bowl, while the closest they’ve gotten in my lifetime was at the end of Ace Ventura.
In the last 20 years, here are the scores of playoff games in which the Dolphins were eliminated:

1997: Patriots 17 - Dolphins 3
1998: Broncos 38 - Dolphins 3
1999: Jaguars 62 - Dolphins 7
(These are real scores from real playoff games. I’m not making these up.)
2000: Raiders 27 - Dolphins 0
2001: Ravens 20 - Dolphins 3
(Holy fucking shit, seriously, LOOK AT THESE SCORES.)
2008: Ravens 27 - Dolphins 9
2016: Steelers 30 - Dolphins 12
(Twelve points! Double digits! Fuck yeah, Adam Gase! 2018 AFC East watch the fuck out!)

Anyway, the greatest sin for the Dolphins in the last 20 years (aside from their piece of shit new uniforms) is that they win boring and they lose boring. There are barely any memorable games in almost two decades. In fact, I’d say the two most memorable Dolphin games in the last 20 years were:

1. The Monday Night Miracle, a game they lost.
and:
2. The 2007 regular season game against the Ravens in which Cleo Lemon threw an overtime touchdown pass to Greg Camarillo to give the Dolphins their only win that season. If you think I’m kidding, go find that play on YouTube. Kevin Harlan’s call is amazing. He loses his fucking mind, and I will forever love him for it. It’s like he forgot he was calling a shitty 1 p.m. game between 0-13 and 4-9 teams and instead thought he was calling a walk-off grand slam in Game 7 of a World Series while Mike Tyson was biting Evander Holyfield’s ear and Vince Carter was jumping over Frédéric Weis on the 50-yard line.
 
6 of those losses were by 3 points or less (including a 3-0 loss to the Steelers on Monday Night Football. yuck), most coming down to the final minute. To be fair I didn't really pay much attention that year or the next so i'm sure they were worse than I remember.

Browns not in the top 10? That's a win in my book.

Look at the starters for that year....

All of those teams were worse than the JaMarcus Russell lead Raiders? I'm not so sure about that

The Colts the year Manning was injured should be on that list just because it exposed what a dogshit franchise that was without him.
