Go Fins!
1. This team isn't far off, but shoot I'm tired of moral victories. The Dolphins have played all 3 teams in the division at perfect times when they were down and we were in the position to put them away and we didn't. While, I'm not down on Saban or this franchise (as I still believe Saban is great and will lead us to glory in later years), this is the same team as last year in terms of production. Play every team tough, stick around in every game, but either make dumb mistakes that cost us games, not make the plays on offense, or have the defense give up a late lead. Same ole' same ole' as last year. While I believe we'll win 6, possibly 7 games, this team has to get a "gut" if it is going to contend.
2. We can all agree that Gus isn't our only problem. While the past few weeks have shown Gus' weaknesses, we saw today that even with a masterful performance, in my mind, from a journeyman QB, we still can't win a game. We need a big time #1 WR. I'm tired of waiting on Chris' potential. He's a great guy to have, but as a #2, he could put up Lelie like numbers (last year) as a #2. We seem to have an OC that likes to completely abandon the run and let our defense run out of gas. Then we have a defense that just gives up big plays at inopportune times in a game.
3. I'm still excited about the season, but this loss really disappoints me bc we had a chance in our first 9 games to take control of this division (with a relatively easy schedule, compared to our other division foes) and we didn't do it. That's not Saban's fault, or Gus' fault, or Linehan's fault it's everybody involved with this team. I'm tired of this mentality that nobody thinks we're good, we believe in ourselves, yet we continually seem to "hide behind the couch" when its time to show up.
4. Lastly, go Dolphins. I really want to see us finish strong, possibly go 3-3 over our last 6 and go 7-9. I'm excited about this offseason, as I think its going to be big, not in terms of big name FAs or Draft picks, but serviceable guys who are really going to fit into the system and buy into the system. We're not far off from any team in our division, and we really need to finish up strong to rally for next year.
