Why ***** that much if you're a fan of a team? what happened to support? People here will say "our FO is a bunch of morons." Well then, let's see your heaping pile of credentials that makes you more qualified than them.
Keep an open mind, actually view the roster and coaching staff without a preset hatred. That would be a start. A lot of people see Sparano as coach and Henne as the quarterback and go "Oh well, this team will suck and won't win more than 5 games." Ok, but what about the fact that we have a top 6(likely top 5 this year) defense? One of the best receivers in the game(one of the top receiving corps in the league overall), new offensive coordinator and scheme(our biggest weakness in 2010), improved interior line and a revamped running game(Bush can be electrifying). The team lacked speed last year, enter Bush and Gates.What defines an "educated" fan? Someone that thinks we're playoff bound after two losing seasons and minimal changes on the offense, including an unknown at OC and continued disregard for the QB position?
Where does one pick up such an "education?"

I won't make any excuses. I am on record saying what I expect with Henne as the QB and that is a 9-7 record and contending for the playoffs. If they have a losing record than they should go. Though I do believe Ireland is safe no matter what happens.I really want this team to win and they might, but nobody knows for sure what to expect. They have a really tough schedule this year, but I don't want any excuses for them if they only win around six games. I don't want to hear, "give them another year cuz of this or that." This is the year, either produce or get flushed down the drain.

You think 9-7 will contend for the playoffs in the AFC East?
Every time I get on FH everyone thinks we will only win like five games. How is that? We went 7-9 last year with henne and this off-season we got much much better. Please explain?
Madden baby!!

Sometimes a change in scheme can make a HUGE difference. Just look at the defense. At this point last year we were saying how much the defense sucked, now they are one of the best in the league. Going from Henning to Daboll alone can vastly improve the offense.People exaggerate because our off-season sucked. You can pretend we got "much much" better this off-season but we did next to nothing to improve our offense. We brought in a 3rd down RB/PR, a RT who got abused last year and a handful of rookies. So unless you think these rookies are going to make that much of a difference then its hard to believe we got much better. The only significant improvement we made in my mind is the defense. The extra year of experience to go along with an upgrade over Crowder is more than I can say about the offense. I think we're a 9-7 team, if we stay mostly healthy. Henne, the running game, and the play-calling cant possibly be as bad as it was last year and the defense SHOULD only get better.
true, like the fans that think we have improved.There are a lot of uneducated fans, that is why some people think 5 wins. This is likely a 9 win team, at least.
