It's great to see teams elevate their play to the next level during the playoffs. I could also clearly see the teams with tired legs.

Arizona looked slow compared to the fresh saints.

Dallas looked taxed and overwhelmed by Vikings D.

And Chargers looked like they didnt watch any game films on the Jets. Reminds me of the "stumblin fumblin..." Norv Turner days. That loss is wholly on the Charger coaching staff.

Jets came in and to their credit, knew who they are and played that way. Reminds me of Denny Green..." They are who we thought the were...and we left them off the hook. If you want to crown their *ss..."

Fins are just sooo far away. The D roster has to go through a pretty significant purge at LB, S, with glaring hole at NT. Not something accomplished next year, which makes it year 3 for this regime. Not looking good here. Add to that a change at DC...not good.

On offense, there is NO PLAYMAKER. None, nada, nobody. Again, not something that can be fixed next year...not to contend, perhaps win 2-3 more games but not playoff caliber type improvement.

Which goes to the bigger more important question. Next year makes year #3 for this regime. It will be the most telling year in this regimes "model for success".

I doubt it will be much different from this year. It's not like there are major pieces of the puzzle in place that can get this team over the hump.

Yes, we MIGHT have a QB. But too many questions at WR, TE, RB. Virtually 75% of the offense there.

On D, we do have two nice CB. But they will continue to need time. A couple nice DE, but glaring holes in the middle at NT, S, ILB.

None of these issues bode well for 2010 season. And I for one feel this is far below expectations for where this team ought to be by now in terms of talent.

A key WR acquisition will take a full season to gel. A new DC will probably mean some tweaks on the scheme, again, more adjustment by personnel.

This team actually is in need of 6-8 major player acquisitions.

Nowhere near being ready to contend.

Too bad. Another generation bites the dust.
 
look, were close. we almost beat the colts and saints and we beat the jets twice. one more year of talent, and henne in his second year, we have alot to look forward too. i just hope they dont pick us to win the superbowl or anything next year.
 
"close"? What games where you watching? This team was done after the 12th game this year.

"close"? Name the playmaker on offense? Name the starting running back day 1 next year? Ronnie Brown? really? with that injury?

Name the TE that dictates coverage to defenses?
Name the WR that dictates double coverage by DB's?

Who will start at Center? sure about that?

Lets examine the D.

Who will start at NT for 16 games? Surely not Ferguson. Solai is a #2 unless he explodes all of a sudden.

Who are the starting ILB's? Crowder again?

Who are the starting S? Can they cover?
Who are backup CB's, Nickle and dime backs?
Who are our everydown OLB's?

Far too many holes and questions. If this roster was set, and playing together for their second year...ok, but this will be a whole new team next year.
 
In my opinion this just looks like you looked at all the posts after a loss and put it into a whole. Seems to be a lack of football smarts here. I am sick of reading this boo wooo bulls**t that some people put on here
 
This team hasn't played up to their ability. We suffered lots of injuries. Like I've said a few times already, the last time this team has played with any emotion was on MNF against the Jets. That's the type of team we are when healthy and when playing with the right attitude. I feel like after that week, the team stopped caring or they weren't prepared like they're suppose to be. That's on Sparano right there. I'm not saying let's fire the guy, I think he did a good job despite the injuries, but the team looked like they weren't ready to play on most Sundays compared to his first season.
 
Playing with emotion is not a substitute for TALENT.

Where is the TALENT on this team...that is talent that will win games into the playoffs?

Where? Who? Not just your opinion but based on performance?

Fins are nowhere close to being at the level of these playoff teams, from a player talent perspective NOR a coaching perspective.

The Jets are doing it with simply good coaching! Which says alot about that franchise. Yes, the stars aligned perfectly for them, but they did travel and beat the Chargers in a well played and disciplined game.

They will compete against the Colts, wont score enough points, but will be respectable.

Where is that talent on D or O on this team? It aint here.
 
Henne, brown,williams,cobbs.polite,bess,camarillo,hartline,long,smiley,merling,fergason,crowder,jt,smith,davis,bell,fields,jason,allen on special teams, will allen just some to list
 
I disagree about no playmakers on offense. Ever heard of Ronnie and Ricky? Also, Henne is on his way. Also our OL is really good and mostly young. What we are lacking is a playmaker on the outside.

You added 8 players from the defense
the same defense that gave up the 3rd most points (390)
for a Dolphin team in 40 years

and how on god's green earth do you put Crowder and Jason Allen on your list and leave off Randy Starks???:err:

You have no credibility:facepalm:

Did you forget that just last year we won the division? We are closer than some of you realize.
 
DL - soliai - merling/ langford starks/mcdaniels (need a NT or 2)
lbs - wake- taylor - chrowder (need a ILB 2 olb a overhaul completly.
CB - Davis - smith - Jason allen will be a ST / nickle/dime player plus Will Allen, just need a 5th CB
SAftey, Clemons will start this year with Bell, Wilson is a goner,culver will be a depth player.
they need to spend some money on the Linebacking corp. and safety

You supposedly noticed three playoff teams had tired legs, one didn't watch game film and one was who they thought they were. THAT'S your great insight about how the playoff teams revealed how far the Dolphins are from contending?? Try a little harder, homer.

So basically maybe by 2020 the team can be as good as the mighty Jets. Cool, I'll just stick to the NBA for a while until the Phins become good.

I do appreciate the tip
 
I have no creditibility but I know what the hell im talking about you,people that cant see that we are getting much better should become st. Louis fans so that what you say makes sense. All you do is bi**h and bi**h but your not saying anything. You people that are complaining are the ones who will praise th FO when we make it somewhere. I have no creditibility on FH you people dont have football smarts I think im better off atleast I know what the hell im watching!
