You're extrapolating 7-9 from 2-2 based on what? How mopey you feel?

Dude, we're 2-2 and 1-2 in the division, with an 0-2 record at home. 7-9 seems about right considering how brutal our schedule is.

Yeah, and Miami hasn't won a playoff game in a decade. But, I guess you're ok with that because you're a "big picture" kinda guy.

we will have a better record than 7-9. I'm sure of that. The only question is how much. I think our floor is 9-7 and our ceiling is 11-5 with our schedule so it really depends on how the rest of the AFC does to see whether that will be good enough to get in. If we get in, I'm sure we'll win at least one playoff game, maybe two

Man, do I hope you're right.

And I can speak with absolute certainty that their was a lot of overreacting amongst the fans in the 80s

Based on what I've seen and the upcoming schedule.

We beat the Bills and a banged up Minnesota team (who's 1-3 and were totally dominated in the 2 games they played against good teams). Just about everyone of our next 6 games is against tougher opponents than the 2 we have beaten.

So please, if you have a more optimistic prediction and a basis for it then let's have it.

Uh, yeah, I do, because pretty much everyone who had any idea what they were talking about at the outset of this endeavor realized this was gonna be a 3-4 year deal, starting from 1-15.

Not acting like a ****ing infant is a pretty good working definition, I think.

Why? It's not like he hasn't done this pretty much every situation he's ever been in?

You keep running with this exact same theme, and it doesn't make any sense. No one is accepting of mediocrity, and no one doesn't want to see their team win. I'm just expecting we not throw tantrums over it.

Yup, I engrish'd that **** up. But at the end of the day, your argument is figuratively thrashing your limbs and filling your diaper.

Still think we're not mediocre?

I have little faith left in the coaching staff. I know they can field teams that won't at least be a complete joke but they clearly have no killer instinct. It shows in their team. They don't have the guts to try to be good enough to win a championship. What a shame. In 2008 with no expectations they let it all hang out with the Wildcat. Once some expectations come around they crawl into a shell.

You can you think of 15 teams taht would beat us at a neutral site? Because I can only think of about 7-8.

We can't even win a game at home, what makes you think we can beat anybody on a neutral site?

Pats, Jets, Steelers, Ravens, Titans, Texans, Colts, Chiefs, Oakland (laugh if you must, but they'll beat us in a few weeks), Eagles, Giants, Saints, Falcons, and Bucs. That's 14 teams I think would beat us if we played them, either at home or at a neutral site. I'll even throw in a 50/50 shot at beating the Browns and Jags.

This should not be the case in the 3rd year of a Parcells regime, we should have a better team by now. Seems Bill saved his ****tiest work for his encore.

Tepop84 · Nov 9, 2010

Parcells is a no talent POS. That's for sure. Trading or cutting all decent players who weren't his pick so he can bring in trash that he drafted other places. What an idiot.

Yeah, we've lost games to the four best teams in the NFL, and that means we aren't as good as the fukking Texans. Get a clue.

The Miami Dolphins are 0-5 all time against the Texans. Do you seriously think that this is the year we'd finially be able to win a game against them?

Please, give me strength. This team, the 10' Dolphins, are the ones to finially beat the Texans? I don't think so. We barely beat Buffalo, yet we're somehow able to beat a team with the talent Texas has? Nope.

As far as making yourself feel better by repeating that we've lost to the 4 best teams in the NFL, that's a bunch of mularky. That doesn't make anything better. Great, we have a team that can beat weak teams, but can't beat good teams. Awesome, we are a mediocre team that has no shot of beating good teams in the playoffs.

Considering this Texans team is appreciably worse than anything they've had the past few years, yes.

Ahaha, you think the Phins can beat the Texans, yet you put a link in your post, for me, for depression medication.

Keep on truckin, man. Someday you'll find sanity.

Nothing to be scared of this year. They can't protect the QB, and Schaub's eye level has been consistently low.

Which is why we lost the Steelers game, Big Bens eye level was consistently high.

Yes, well Matt Schaub doesn't really have the ability to look downfield with defenders draped on him.

Ironically, a higher % of Chad Henne's passes are > 15yds than Matt Schaub's.

“Get me back out there,” Parcells says near the end of the NFL Films-produced Bill Parcells: Reflections on a Life in Football, which debuts Friday night on NFL Network at 8 p.m. “I can do this one more time. That’s how I feel.”

Yeah, it's easy to build a football team with a losing record 2 years in a row. What an arrogant prick.

Any predictions for this year?

Disgustipate said:

I'm not even convinced at this point you understand what mediocrity means.

The Dolphins under Bill Parcells are 20-15. That's .571 winning percentage.

For reference-

For the record, no, I'm not completely happy with anything. I'm a long, long away from understanding where this weird-*** new money sense of entitlement comes from, where people here are demanding what at this point?

I feel like you should probably go hop on a bandwagon.

Still think Parcells built a team that wasn't mediocre?
