Question for the sky is falling crowd........

[BlueFin]

Should the Patriots fans have given up on the season after getting embarrassed in week one?

Should they have given up on Brady with thoughts that he is now washed up?

If some of them did......how do you suppose their perspective might have changed after week 2?

Point being here...this is a 16 week journey, which usually is more about surviving the first half of the season as you hopefully gel as a team....stay healthy....and culminates in a late season run into the playoffs.

In Miami's case....this first half of the season involves getting used to a new offensive system....with 5 New O-linemen...and now enduring some bad injuries and suspensions.

There will be plenty of time after the 16 games to analyze and make future decisions on Philbin, Tannehill....etc etc etc
With a lot more information than we have over 2 games....I mean, many Super bowl Champion teams laid an egg at some point in their season.

It's perfectly proper to criticize every part of this team on any given Sunday for a performance....but some of the over-the-top...quitters threads after this game is just ridiculous.

Let's stop with the seasons over threads....the bye bye Philbin and Tannehill threads and see how it plays out.

Lots of time after the season to replace them if things don't improve.

I don't get why people bring up when successful teams lose and compare it to the Dolphins. Miami hasn't done anything in 30 years. They get no benefit of the doubt. New England, Seattle, San Francisco, teams like these have gotten to places Miami hasn't in 20+ years. To be fans of those teams is completely different than us here.

The sky isn't falling. We aren't a terrible team with a terrible QB. But....we are looking just like we did last year, which was another 8-8 season with no playoffs. I don't understand how Sunday's loss doesn't raise major concerns for some people.

Brady and the Patriots have a decade plus of success to fall back on! Our current regime and roster has a track record of falling on their face!

The sky isn't falling. The sky fell many years ago, and we still haven't been able to pick it up.

Questions or concerns? Absolutely.

Seasons over? Fire Philbin? Bye bye Tanny? Absolutely NOT.

That is the way fans (not just Miami) are made up....they ride that emotional roller coaster...

I have a question for you, how many different years are fans like you going to keep saying the same thing before you realize that we are not a good team yet?

This....exactly the point of the thread.

Whatever this team is and will be is yet to be fully determined.......what we were 10 years ago or even last year is irrelevent right now.

I disagree that what Miami was last year is irrelevant. Last year they got killed in Buffalo 19-0. This year they got killed 29-10 and looked inept again. This IS relevant.

Bro...I have been critical of this team since Shula left...and of Shula's drafting going back to the middle eighties.

After this season is over...if we go .500 again....if Tannehill doesn't show significant improvement over last year...I will be calling for their heads...but not after week 2...not at 1-1 with a big win over the Patriots.

Different scheme...Different O-line....we have to see it fully play out before intelligent decisions can be made about the future.

Criticize?....yes....but give up?...too early.

 

[psfign]

people make this same thread each year as well. and as you can see...the sky has fallen each year. Why is this one any different? Bringing up the Pats is laughable. They are consistently good. The dolphins are consistently mediocre. If your point is, 'wait and see', we do that every ****ing year.

 

[BlueFin]

The point is...the off-season is the time to make major changes....not after week two.

If we end up with another 8-8 season, then yes, those things are definitely on the table.

I disagree, last year is completely relevant. It is the measuring stick for 2014. It is how we gauge improvement.
