In all 3 games this year, I've seen a heck of a lot of questionable coaching calls.. from the plays called in on offense and the same goes for the defensive formations and blitzes..

The team does have some talented players and then the team has some real crappy players..

Improvements are needed for every position except for DL, OL and RB..

They say we're a rebuilding team, I say we're in need of rebuilding this rebuilding team before we go another 0-16/1-15 season..

What do you say?

We were already the Lions. I dont think Parcells is the savior that most do, but we are far from that level,
 
Well, we're similar to the Lions in that we will be essentially starting a rookie Qb for the rest of the way - minus of course the talents of Calvin Johnson.

No doubt now we are closer to them than any AFC contender.
 
Are your grammar ungood?

Nah, we're not there yet, man. 1-15 is as close as we'll ever get. I don't even remember the last time the Lions won 11 games and it sure as **** was not last year.
 
We'd actually have to win a game first, before we started comparing ourselves to the Lions.
 
The Browns or the Skins are going to be the next laughing stock of the NFL.
 
Oh come on.. The Lions sucked at everything last year.. The Dolphins are far better at the O and D lines than the Lions were last year.

Now you guys are acting silly. Miami is a much better rushing team, and have a far better run defense than the Lions did. The Lions were dead last against the run for example.

The Dolphins will win some games here. RELAX.
 
people need to chillout....yes we are 0-3, but we are also playing the hardest schedule in the middle of rebuilding this franchise from the ground up

Can you tell me why you think this? Of all the posters here I agree with you almost 75% of the time, so I am curious.

I just dont think Parcells has built all these awesome teams. Dallas really was overrated and none of his teams have won anything since the Giants. Parcells is a winning coach and knows his football but there are a bunch of people in the NFL that do.
 
Yeah, stop looking for reasons to hang your head. We played three tough games and we played them all relatively clean (penalty wise). I have'nt seen our OL look this good since the turn of the millenium. We might just see Henne exceed our expectations, but at least he'll have a legitimate shot to succeed. Please note also that our run D has been looking better and better and the more time you give yourself to calm down, you'll see that this is a more complete team than we had last year.

Now for your homework assignment I want you to pick a fight with someone and lose...:chuckle:

I'd agree. The man's last Super Bowl was how long ago?

The game has passed him by. The free agent signings are atrocious and a huge waste of money. The decision to stick with this WR group is ridiculous. The elite franchises in this league certainly don't skimp out on talent like the Dolphins.

Really? Steelers signing any big name talent? Have the Patriots put a bunch of eggs in one free agent basket lately? Have the Colts?

I'm not saying you're wrong (certainly worked for the Giants with Plaxico), I just think we did'nt know enough about Ted Ginn at the time, etc. etc.

Other than Tampa, show me a win ? I really think we will go 2-14, which means we win one other than the Tampa game. Perhaps this week, but really that is it. We have to run the gauntlet of all gauntlets this year in our schedule.

I said this once and got trashed for it. But its true. We are way closer to the Lions or the Bucs than we are too Pittsburgh, Indy, or New Orleans.
