    They have been playing that way for quite a few games this year.

    I didn't want them to play in Jan. either. We didn't belong in the playoffs and long term, IMO, we will be better off by missing.

    Absolutey! Just watching some of the later games and you could see the anguish on the players on the bench to get through to the play-offs. Our guys didn't seem bothered and neither did philbin and that winds me up! we just gave up the whole season these past two games without any fight.

    Let's be honest, with this O-line and run game we are going nowhere. Playoffs were a pipe-dream all along. We simply forgot how bad we are for a few weeks and then reality set in again.

    Another example of why Philbin needs to be replaced.

    HE DOES NOT HAVE SUPPORT OF THE LOCKER ROOM.

    A absolute must if you are going to be successful.

    This is earned, not automatic. It also means if he is retained we start from behind the 8 ball next year.

    We must have a new coach. A veteran, who is respected.

    My choice : Ken Wisenhunt

    This team goes to instant respectability. Wisenhunt has a lot of experience as tight ends and half back coach as well as Offensive coordinator/Head Coach. He also took the 2008 Arizona Cardinals to the super bowl in 2008.

    A guy who is relevant, NOW. Not back in 1970

    Playing tight can look a lot like playing without emotion...I think they just choked.

    And based on reports from a few weeks ago, that opinion is very wrong.

    They went down without even swinging. If we had lost 2 hard fought, close games it would have sucked but at least I would have seen some fight in them. What I saw were 2 teams eliminated from the playoffs beat us in every facet of the game, playing hard and playing to win. What I saw out of Miami, was no life, no fight, no wins and no playoffs.

    Isn't it all really just our opinion's

    Because none of what we think matters, including you

    Stephen Ross, Jeff Ireland or Joe Philbin are not going to do one damn thing different because of anything any of us think or say

    I didn't see them quit. I just saw them overmatched. We were outcoached to some extent and didn't have the personnell to another extent

    Overmatched?!? By a team that we beat handily in thier stadium? No, we came out and low intensity, no fire, no sense of urgency. Some of this falls on the coaches, however, if as a player you can't get fired up at home with a playoff spot on the line without a hurrah speach from the coach then there is something wrong.
