One of the rare times I'll agree with Armando. Unless we get ravaged by injuries we should be in the playoffs
rest assured if tannehill doesnt produce it will be the olines fault the wr's fault, the coaches fault, the weather conditions, food poisoning, omar kellys fault....
Uh oh what are the homers gonna say now if we suck again?
Perhaps I'm confused as to what an 'excuse' is. Usually, you can watch a game and figure out why we lost. In a great many of our losses in the last two years, it looks like the offense can't move the ball when we need to and/or the defense gets outmatched when we need a stop. Who's making excuses about that? When Albert went down last season, we had to move James to the left and a rookie was clearly not as good as a pro bowler. That also meant that we put our second string RT in and killed all depth at the tackle position. Is it an excuse that we didn't have two starter quality tackles on the bench, waiting to come in and play balls out? Not for me, it's an explanation. We got beat because the you win or lose with the players on the field.if 3 or 4 "key" guys get hurt by the end of September.....there is an excuse.
While Armando is on his high horse in July, and he is pumping his chest acting like billy badass......it's not reality!
we're so glad you could come out of the Debbie downer diner to spread your gospel.You can say all this crap you want but it doesn't change the fact that we're still a very flawed roster, probably have a lousy coach, and with the cap there's not much we can do about the former and Ross is too much of a 'beta' to do anything about the latter.

Rhetoric doesn't block or tackle people.
Que sera, sera.
Every team has a flawed roster. In the words of Donald Rumsfeld, 'You go to war with the Army you have, not the Army you might want or wish you had at a later time.' Great teams overcome their limitations. Great coaches know how to do that. Philbin has been mediocre for three years. Let's hope that he's learned from his mistakes but Ross put a lot of his own loot into renovating Sun Life and if he wants that to be a good decision, he's going to need to keep the fans happy. And beta or not, that means moving on from the coach if the team does not show itself to be a contender.You can say all this crap you want but it doesn't change the fact that we're still a very flawed roster, probably have a lousy coach, and with the cap there's not much we can do about the former and Ross is too much of a 'beta' to do anything about the latter.

I agree, I felt the excuses should've ended last season but they didn't. This season barring major injuries, I don't see how we can make any. not every position on the roster can be filled with pro bowlers, but O line aside, I feel like the plan in place makes sense. we miss the playoffs this season or don't perform, it's time to really move on from much of the cast.I have been tired of the excuses for years. Ross has owned the team for 6 years and has continued to extend people that don't deserve it. There was no excuses last year or many or years that were acceptable.

I feel Cb and linebacker are weak also but the patriots won a damn superbowl without having an allpro everywhere . We have had 6 straight non winning seasons and there is no excuse at all for rewarding these type of results
