If the Fins miss the playoffs it is because...

[FINatic054]

Fill in the blank.

I keep thinking about this team and trying to figure out where we improved and where we haven't. I am really liking our potential on offense as long as Tanny can continue to improve, hopefully on his deep ball. Defensively is where I keep finding myself worrying.

Up front I like our front. I wish we would have been able to keep Odrick on this line but I still think the additions we made make this unit better. Linebackers are a big question mark. I'm hoping Hull can surprise and become a solid player on this defense although that's a reach.
My biggest concern though is our defensive backs. Grimes is solid but is a year older. Other than Grimes we have absolutely nobody else we can stick out there and feel comfortable. It's basically a cast of ifs and maybes. This is a passing league and we are playing some solid QB'S this season. In my opinion if we miss the playoffs this unit will be the cause. What you guys think?

1. Because Joe Philbin can't coach himself out of a paper bag.

2. Our continued ignorance to the importance of pass protection in a division dominated by the defensive-line.

The offensive line continues to suck.

Philbin.

Injuries

 

[doughbraz54]

Either Joe or injuries will bring this team down. I feel really optimistic this year about the team and the amount of talent we have and then I jut think of this guy....

 

[BigNastyFish]

Too easy. Philbin the failer

 

[DolfanISS]

Bad guards, bad LB's, injury to Pouncey, Albert or James, questionable CB's outside of one, Delmas health, pro bowl players showing their age, Cameron concussion and Joe. Other than that we have a good chance.

I think we have problems on the OL, question marks on the DL, question marks in the linebacking corps, and question marks in the secondary. We have a question mark at kicker.

And I don't trust Joe Philbin to make the right decisions about who to start at those positions.

If Miami fails to make the playoffs it will be because... they still weren't good enough and the other teams were just better than the Dolphins. No excuses.
