as for which direction the team is heading under wannstedt, i can honestly say that the team is getting more exciting each year. the records have been worse, but i for one was thinking that last year the phins would have a better team with a worse record. the schedule was tough. not an excuse, it just was. this year isn't as bad. better team, better record. the players on the field are getting better: the offense is more diverse and less predictable, they had the NFL's leading rusher, and the D (particularly taylor) looked pretty good. i'm not naive, i know they crashed pretty hard last year, but it was more fun to watch that team than many of the previous teams. i'm even more psyched about this year. now if they miss the playoffs again, we all know what will happen. am i gonna wish for that? not for anything. i get enough aggravation from the rest of the world. football is supposed to be an escape from all that.
