REALITY CHECK:Dolphins were supposed to be a last place team...remember?

[LarryFinFan]

Why the heck are so many people disappointed in this team? At best the Phins were supposed to go 8-8, have another solid draft next year, build through free agency and contend two to three years from now.

We lost to the stinking NY Jets, who were the favorites to win. And are probably the more talented team, so let the STINKING JET FANS have their glory for one game, they are supposed to win.

Saban is taking this team in the right direction, that is something to get excited about.

If you are a true dolphins fan with some type of rational you'll realize that the Phins are exceeding expectations, as well as getting rid of all the mistakes of the Speilman and Wannstedt regime. Wait until the Dolphins are competeing with the elite teams of the league, not the stinking NY Jets

Well, you are right about the stinking Jests fans, but I digress...

My concern is that the trend is the SAME as the Wanny era....make the D great and hope they hold on...we KNOW that doesn't work. The D will break down some as time goes on, unless the O improves and pulls it's fair share...That has not happened in these two games...Today, the Jests did a better job on our DL and LBs and exposed our secondary...look for other teams to do the same.

As far as the O goes...the OL is the key...We can't help the QB situation...Gus sucks and that's that, but if the OL can improve and open a hole once in a while for the RBs, then Gus might get lucky and hit one of his recievers (provided they catch them). His accuracy is terrible. But the OL is the key...

The only real disappointment is after last week most fans were hoping the lack luster ofense had found some spark. This effort looks alot like the preseason games we had been watching where the ofense looked like the Tampa Bay ofense of the 70's.

I aplaud you for for your thread , for i think it will take one more good draft and free agency to straiten out wanny and ricks mess. I am guessing we all are stressing out over this loss but i am not jumping off the bandwagon, for if a guy jumps off the band wagon he might break a leg and that wouldnt help the cause any.
