Yup.. And the only thing that matters is the last line:

everyone keeps saying how we will beat the jets, they suck blah blah blah...the media especially...
if i were a jets player, that would be some serious locker room material right there...that's what scares me... -
Until the Fins can prove that they can "win" a game, I wouldn't touch them on a W/L bet . . . I have never felt less confident about a team taking over and winning a game. We were 0-0 against Pitt, and I had no feeling that we were going to win the game . . . they need to get that back before they can win consistently

So i want to beat either the jets or pats. And finish 1-15 at this point because truly, I think we're a tail-backwards organization right now and the only way wayne will see that is if we suck badly enough he has no choice but to acknowledge it. -

Again, as I posted in the other thread Im not pinning this solely on cam, though he bears some responsibility as the coach, Im blaming it on everyone from wayne for allowing it to happen to the players for not doing something about it. -
Who let you in!:shifty:
Brian Stokes to the Mets, now we will win it all.:huh: -
Yes, the whole coaching staff and front office have made some mistakes, but what the ENTIRE organization needs right now is some stability! From the players to the coaching staff to the front office... the all need some time to get everyone moving in the same direction. The team is where it is right now BECAUSE of constant change.
I believe Cam has the ability to be a good head coach. He was thrown into an absolute mess. He counted on having a good defense and put his effort into building an offense. He, and the entire organization, just need some time.
There is not a single person in the world that could come in next year and *poof* just fix everything. -
Sorry to burst your bubble, but we will not beat the Jets.
Look at our offense. Ginn is our only remaining playmaker. We have absolutely no big play threats outside of him. Our running game will be a joke. The Jets will sell out on rushing the passer and double team Ginn the entire game. For us to beat them, it will require a perfect game from Beck. I'm talking like 30-35 350 yards 3TD 0INT. Even then I think we would still lose. Our defense will likely allow them to score 20-30 points. We will have trouble containing Washington on returns, and their sugar huddle offense will confuse our defense. In the last meeting, Green and Brown were playing extremely well and we still lost. I don't expect a blowout, but I also do not expect a win. When you can't put an offense on the field with more than one respectable threat, you re going to struggle to score. Throw in a handful of rookies, and it just looks worse. Win or lose, this will be a great scenario to measure Beck by. What we see this week could very well be a good sample of what to expect during the remaining 4 games.
Sorry to be so down on things. But we no reliable RB, TE, or WRs right now, with the exception of Ginn. Hard to believe that the Jets won't be able to shut us down. -
They cannot rush the ball
There Oline stinks
Clemmens has struggled
They can't rush the passer
They cannot stop the run
This is a dead even game, anything can happen. -

For one thing, I see situations like this frequently when I input old scores and lines from previous seasons in my Excel workbooks. Often I'll doubletake when something doesn't make sense. Like if I'm putting in scores and a team loses a long string of games and all of a sudden they are favored I'll stop and say, "What?"
Then I'll look at the result of that game and inevitably the teams fails.
Similarly, if a team is a consistent winner but all of a sudden is a big underdog, it typically fares well.
What I don't understand is the side/total correlation. Miami is as high as -2 and the total is 38. That means the Dolphins are projected for 20 points, as in 20-18.
Sheesh. Talk about a leap of faith. Particularly for a rookie QB who hasn't managed a point. I can't imagine playing Miami and over, knowing I needed an absolute minimum of 20 points, simply to push/push.
Both QBs have pathetic sub-6 YPPA, in the 5.5 range. I really thought this total would be about 34 or 35.
