What Do You As A Fan Need To See This Offseason?

Head Coach Mike McDaniel was brought in with one primary goal: get the Miami Dolphins back to the playoffs. Well check, he did accomplish that goal. In the first playoff appearance for this team in seven years, in an away game, in cold and at times snowy and windy conditions, against one of the top teams in the NFL, his team nearly, almost pulled off the upset win with a third-string quarterback. I am like most. Almost does about as little for me as nothing at all. But with that being the truth for most it cannot be overlooked that a rookie coach with all the usual rookie coach mistakes and a ton of key injuries, including losing your starting quarterback for important stretches in the season was not only able to get this team into the playoffs but also nearly pulled off an upset win in the playoffs against a top team with a rookie 7th round quarterback.
