**Bills/Phins Post Game**

Yet! He's good enough to accomplish something I can't remember us accomplishing since when? Don Shula?
I know it's disappointing. We all wanted the team to win and play better down the line.
But we've accomplished more in 2 years than we have in almost 30 years.

We haven’t really accomplished anything.

Season isn't over yet!

But let me ask you a question...

How much would you say injuries have effected this team?

Are the results the same if for example we didn't lose any of our OL guys like the Bills haven't all season?

I hate using injuries as an excuse but we got to a point where we just have too many to win convincingly. I get that
But, we were in this game and MCD had yet another meltdown calling the game and then put Tua in a predicament that he couldn’t recover from because he’s just not good enough
I took a lot of criticism calling out MCD the last two years, but I was right. I really didnt want to be right but I knew I was all along

They haven't been in this position in a long time..since the Shula years if I have my math correct.

Everyone's learning how to crack this playoffs thing.

What position? Jimmy Johnson made the playoffs in 3 of his 4 seasons. Wannstedt had 4 straight winning seasons and made the playoffs twice. Sparano made the playoffs. Gase made the playoffs. Flores had two straight winning seasons.

Other coaches since Shula have experienced a little success.
 
Bills players said it felt like a home game. That's all you need to ****ing know.

Really? You don't remember all those years we finished 7-9 and didn't even make the playoffs?

2 playoff appearances in a row isn't an accomplishment anymore?

You mean the JJ and Wannstedt where they had 2-3 HOF? if I recall correctly and didn't;t have nearly as much injuries as this team.

Is that what you're referring too?

Actually, if you go back and figure out who'd have made the playoffs if there were seven teams advancing in each conference every year, several of them might have.

As it is, Wannstedt did it. He was 41-23 through four years. JJ made the playoffs three straight years after missing his first year by going 8-8 -- Jimmy Johnson never had a sub-.500 record in Miami.

People seem to be remembering things a lot worse than they were. Several of these guys felt heat for just winning 10 games and losing in the opening round of the playoffs because everyone compared them to Don Shula. Sparano and Gase both won double-digit games and made the playoffs their first year in 16-game seasons.

The thing is in almost every one of those cases they never got better. That's why I have a problem when anyone says next year it'll be better. It might not be. Many of our coaches since Shula either came out of the gates really good or looked really good in their second year and got stuck at that level. They felt pressure from the fanbase, panicked, lost the team and went into a death spiral and either quit or got fired.

That's what I say that even with McDaniel, we've seen this before. The only difference is now it's been so many years since Shula that instead of expecting us to contend for Super Bowls all the time, now the fans accept being decent -- they've lost the ambition to demand the Dolphins be better than this because they've seen how bad it can get when we expect more.

Didn’t see this before I posted similar stuff. This “since Shula” stuff with McD is not reality.
 
We live to fight another day...

Can we trade our wild card berth for a couple of 6th round picks?

Cincy? Jax would surely give us a 4th.

Would love to trade it for the 1st and 3rd Ross and his flunkie cost the team last year.
