Ruuu-deee Ruuu-deee!

Kiddin...great to see.

 

Funny thing is..if we rolled them 40-0 people would say..means nothing..it was Jacksonville.

 

How we played today will have very little to do with how we play next Sunday...

 

i would like this post more,but it needs more ****ting on hartline.

 

I'm hoping that you're right. I'm not confidant in it though. Not that I expect the team to play poorly, its just that I have no idea of what to expect from week to week.

 

Well, that really wasn't the way that it was for past good Fins teams. Win or lose, you generally got the same Fins team in the early 90s with Marino & Co. And then in the early 2000's under Wanny, same deal. The team had a consistant personality, both good and bad. Under Philbin, its been really inconsistant, both for better and worse. At least today when they were off they pulled it out.

 

i think under previous regimes we had a habit of dropping the easy games. Say what you want, but we have done a better job of winning in those situations.

 

WADR, that's simply not true about Wanny.

We had the leading rusher and leading sack maker and we missed the playoffs....in an era where running the ball and getting after the QB was king.

This is why I'm always hesitant to use W/L as the sole determining factor of how good a coach is. Wanny's record was good, but if he was even halfway competent we'd have been in the thick of the SB hunt. **** him. No one but no one has done more damage to the Dolphins organization than Wannidiot.

 

Im confused by this. We were never, at any point in time, in any danger of losing the game. yes the score wasnt a blow out and maybe it was a little more tense then I would like but we never trailed. In fact, aside from the garbage time td, they're offense managed 6 pts. Our offense just didn't have the ball enough to put up a ton of points. They're strategy was to control the clock and sit on the ball. Which doesn't work when your qb throws two pick 6's, obviously.

 

This thread taking a turn. Geez , congrats Fede

 

Just like people calling it an ugly win. I mean, the dolphins were up 21 points with 2:19 left in the game... Could we have done some things better? Yes, but Jesus.

 

Not to mention he became the all time sack leader among Marist football players to ever play in the NFL.

 

Maybe it's a bad team becoming better.

 

good teams are up by 22 pts with 2:19 left

 

Unrelated but also what a play by Jelani Jenkins on the bortles fumble. It was awesome to see a tomahawk strip work for us for once.

 

Cam Wake says "hello".

 

Oh they did for sure. Not saying he was a good HC, just that the team did what they were good at, week in and week out, for the most part. Lost a lot of games because they couldn't or wouldn't do more.

The 90s Marino teams could of course always pass the ball. The Wanny teams could always run. This bunch can some weeks do both, some do one or the other, and some do neither. You just never know what we're going to get once the game starts. And to an extent, the same is the case on defense.

 

What an excellent description of the reality of today's NFL.

 

Congrats Fede I would like to see him getting a few more opportunities each game as well as McCain andhow about getting Tripp some ooops at MLB while Misi is nursing his ankle...Tripp woul play better than Trusnick I think.
