Sparano's future:
I think the Henne injury bought him another week or so, until we get a Cleveland Steamer by the Jets.

**** him anyway. I'm sick of his stupid excuses, his circus seal demeanor on the sidelines (remember those old Mickey Mouse cartoons where he had the pet seal in his house? Yeah, that's Tony Sparano), his clock management, and playing not-to-lose.

I don't know how much to pin on Ireland, primarily because you'd have to think he was shackled by Parcells calling the final shots, but it's not like he's exactly set the world on fire with his acquisitions. Think about it, can you honestly look at any of our acquisitions the last few years and go "Wow, that was a completely solid pickup, he's paying dividends everywhere, he came as advertised!" No, you can't. Every player comes with a "Yes, but..."

Marshall- He's a good WR, but he's got alot of problems, plus he couldn't catch AIDS in a Thai whore house if his life depended on it. Not a leader.
Bush- Dude's got some talent, but we just don't utilize him to his strengths, and he's caught out of position. Not a leader.
Dansby- He gets his tackles, he just isn't a leader.
Burnett- This stiff couldn't tackle my dead grandfather
We go through OL like a cokehead does cash

The other problem is that we just lack a leader on either side of the ball, and lack an identity throughout the entire team. We're structurally unsound. We've built a team of "yes men" on a culture of mediocrity, rather than field a team of players that are leaders and playmakers. Every vocal player gets cut because they're seen as a "threat", Crowder being the latest casualty.

If we land anywhere other than the first pick, we should go with Vontaze Burfict from ASU with our first round pick. Every team needs a leader, and he could be ours (ala Ray Lewis) for years to come.

First pick, gotta go with Andrew Luck though.
 
It's just so bad and so hard to watch them play each week I am starting to really wonder why I bother and waste my time. I used to get so upset when they would lose but it doesn't seem to bother me anymore. Why should it? We have no chance of anything anyway.
 
The maddening part this year AND last year .... we play up/down to the competition. We're in most games, but come up short, especially in the 4th Quarter.

KC will be interesting. We'll be down in the sewer with them all game. Cleveland showed that loud & clear ... we didn't even stand a chance.
 
I watch for the new guys. i saw a clay sighting today. in two weeks, its back to vontae and daniel thomas. now i just am looking for a gates sighting. looking for progress from new guys who will be on this team next year.
 
This kind of reminds me of 2004 all over again. I had some optimism early in the year, then Ricky retired and David Boston blew his knee out, then we fumbled a few picks/players for some mediocre/terrible players (Booker and Lamar Gordon) as a patch, and went into the year pretty miserable.

That year, I just lost a ton of interest. I still would watch every Sunday, at least I'd try to, but the passion just wasn't there. That's kind of how it is this year. We find a way to creatively lose each game, just like we did that year. (Feeley and Fiedler's pick 6's in the Titans game, the moved up games due to hurricanes) The only bright spot that year was the game against the Patriots (One of the best games I've ever watched).

I was pretty psyched for the season to start this year, especially opening on MNF, but we ended up getting skull****ed pretty hard by Brady and the Pats. After that, I had some interest (and hope) up until the Browns game. We're playing the Browns, without their best player, a game we probably should win, right? Nope, our offense decides that they want to collect FGs like Pac Man collects cherries. We can't even get 20 ****ing yards in 48 seconds with an offense that includes Reggie Bush, Brandon Marshall, Davone Bess, Daniel Thomas, and Anthony Fasano. It's pathetic.

Let's just face it, we miss opportunities like Octomom misses her period.

Agree with almost everything except the 2nd to the last sentence. If we don't have the #1 pick to get Luck, we target Matt Barkley. Then if we can't get Barkley, we target Landry Jones. Chad Henne is not the answer and never will be.

This.
 
Our team lacks more than a good quarterback, our team lacks heart. It lacks a soul. Watch a team with that element; they have a passion and energy in the game that nothing else can bring. You know you'll be in every game and you won't get embarrassed because those guys take the game seriously. They actually care. We need a Ray Lewis type on the Defense. We need someone to bring energy and passion to the locker room. Get the guys fired up. Take back the mental aspect of the game. It's beyond talent here. We need winners. We need people with a killer instinct. We don't need guys that raise cans of food for the needy, we need assassins out there. Guys that will win the game. Mental assassins. Soul assassins.

Once we get that, we can start to bring back our edge. A winning culture. Just gut the whole thing. These guys play like a bunch of losers. Give the whole franchise an enema and begin anew because that's the only thing that will get us back to our winning ways. Mediocrity in business should never be tolerated. After all, this isn't really about sportsmanship; they get paid to be out there. This is about winning championships and taking no prisoners.

there isnt going to be a gates sighting unfortunately. nothing special about the guy. he shouldnt even be on the field at this point. the guy has no idea how to run routes. hes small. and he doesnt know how to use his speed. i seriously doubt hell ever develop into a good player. if hes going to hes got an awful lot to learn. hes minimum 2 years away, and i dont like what i see with him returning kicks. hes terrible in the open field which means hell never be a good YAC guy. the only way this guy ever contributes is if he becomes a student of the game, and a precise route runner. otherwise hell be a complete bust.

when u have a ***** for a head coach its awfully hard to develop soul assassins. i agree with u 100%. but it starts with your coach. when your coach is a ***** and literally PLAYS FOR FIELD GOALS. im sorry. your team will ALWAYS SUCK. go watch that bill belicheck special if u want to see the type of attitude in a head coach that breeds success. u gotta have A KILLER. that guy gets a lead, and he wants the other team TO QUIT!!! we just want to pray we can hold it. he even mocked sparano it was hilarious. he was clowning sparano for saying the division goes through the dolphins, and showed his players video of that!

sparano is a clown
