2-2 At The Bye Week, Everyone Relax.

[flynryan15]

Well here is the issue we actually have a spark on offense not a fire but a spark but our defense has taken 2 steps back.&nbsp; You have to be kidding. You could see the players not playing for Tony Sporano but why would they take a dump for Mike Nolan.&nbsp;&nbsp; This is a young team in its prime and guys should be stepping up the to plate not trying a way to not show up.&nbsp; We have talent on this team but little motivation.<BR><BR>On offense the ball has to be spread around more and the defense needs to play movitvated end of story.<BR>

Hate to bear the bad news, but the defense was never that good! Don't believe the top 5 which was actually 6 battle cry! They never create turnovers, impact plays, cover a TE, and when ever a stop is needed the fold like a POP tent!

WHO CARES if they are 2-2 at the BYE? They have once again proven that they can't hang with the playoff teams! This is another year of the same song! String together some wins against mediocre teams and collapse at the end against the tough teams and miss the playoffs. 7-9 or 8-8. The Patriots have this division on lock, and the Jets continue to win despite their crappy QB. I would feel better being a Bills fan right now honestly!

Yes, you would! 2-0. :hi5:

• Leading rusher in Freddie Jackson!
• Sixth rated passer in the league in Ryan Fitzpatrick who's tied with Brady with 7 TDs and 1 INT in 2 games.
• The Bills have scored 10 -- count 'em, 10 -- TDs in 2 games while giving up 2 sacks!

Are the Bills for real??? Don't know, but 2-0 is a whole lot better than 0-2. Having been there and done that, I can assure you of that! We may find out this Sunday when Brady's Aerial Circus comes to town, but maybe good ol' boy Chan Gailey has something up his sleeve for Belichickin. :up:

They SHOULD beat the Browns. If not ****s going to hit the fan. Still can't believe Sparano got an extension. Wish I could screw up at my job and get a raise, I would be the CEO by now

Well we better put on the plastic wrap, cause I think the **** will be flying next week at this time. Oh and I'm with ya, I wish I could get a raise and extension for being a screw up. But then the NFL is not the "real" world.

IMO the true test for Miami is this weekend against Cleveland because the Browns reflect the level of play that Miami is on par with. Only a few teams could hang with the Pats and Texans but if Miami has a chance to salvage this season they have to beat the Browns. If Miami doesn't, then it will show all of us how bad the Dolphins truly are.

If after four years we cant hang with the Texans, then I dont see how this regime is anything other than a massive failure.

Take off the rose colored glasses...seriously. Once again we can't compete with playoff caliber teams. So what if we beat the bottom feeders, that does nothing for us. You know where losing to good teams and beating bad teams gets us? 7-9 AKA nowhere. We can't continue to settle for mediocrity if we actually want to get somewhere. It's pretty ridiculous to keep Sparano and let him do the same bull**** every year and expect different results. Tony is done, the only thing he has done is prove he is in way over his head.

Just dont understand the negativity and panic.

80% of the teams would of started 0-2 against the Pats and Texans.

****, the Giants are about to start 0-2 against the Skins and Rams!

Now who would of called the Skins going 2-0 to start the season?

Exactly....

Um, I did actually.

This phins team is a ****ing joke. Get your head out of the sand. And there is no way 4/5 of the league loses both games at home to the Pats and Texans. If they do, they certainly dont lose them by double digit margins. Most of the games in this league are decided by one score or less. We have lost twice at home by multiple scores. Get real.

 

[WVDolphan]

So...because the Giants suck its cool that we suck. Am I doing it right?

Look, we lost in embarrassing fashion to the Pats and we were never anywhere near being in control of the Texans game. We lost those two games by a pretty wide margin. We were helpless against both, especially on D. We arent talking about 1 point last minute TD losses here. Get real.

Great use of the get real there.

The only threat we had against the Texans was when we trailed by 6 and had the ball only to see our rookie RB that this FO banked on being our featured guy fumble it away. The Texans were pretty much in control of the game throughout. We managed a whole 13 points vs. a so so defense. That sums it all up.

Wanted to point out: the rookie RB that fumbled 11 times in 25 games in college. And now fumbled once in one game in the NFL(not to mention once in preseason).

We used Daniel Thomas 18 times against the Texans. Anyone who didn't see a fumbling coming from a mile away was fooling themselves.

I see us at 1-3 in the bye week. We should beat the Browns, but I highly doubt we beat the Chargers.

Ok, on the count of 3....everyone take a deep breath and relax. Ready?

1...
2...
3...

See? Much better.

Now, lets keep in mind we lost 2 games to playoff caliber teams. 2 games that we were battling and competing in. Sure Brady smoked us for 500 yards but we were in the game, not the usual 45-0 blowouts. Texans game was ours, but costly turnovers and missed kicks did us in.

Step back and look, we have no glaring holes on the team. Sure you can cry about Reshad Jones or Columbo, but we have no "player" that is costing us games.

Are you serious??? Really??? Columbo's inability to pass block set up the Texans' first TD and our corners have taken a MAJOR step back this year.

2-2 at the bye week...I doubt it. 1-3 is more likely, with 0-4 being a legitimate possibility. And this was supposed to be a playoff team, not a "let's get to .500" team.
