Yesterday the Lions just pushed our team around on both sides of the ball. They were clearly more physical and there's no excuse for it. I'm sick and tired of seeing our teams being the less physical team on the field. Why don't we draft physical and tough football players instead of finesse guys who get their ass handed to them? Why do you think teams like the Ravens kick our ass every time we play them? It's because they have a tougher and more physical team. It's high time that changes.

I'm with you. I grew up watching smash mouth football. Watching the New York Giants before directv exsisted. Watching guys like LT, Reasons, Carson and Banks destroy people every week. This is what I always hoped Miami would become.
 
Dan Campbell turned a cream puff team into a rugged bunch of brawlers over a bye week. Heck, we even beat the Ravens in black and blue punch you in the face game (I was there) and I don’t care if Flaco didn’t play. It was a ferocious game w brutal hitting by both teams. All I’m saying is it can be done - it’s part personnel but even more so on coaching philosophy. Gase wants a soft team that plays finesse. They don’t even hit hard in practice. They listen to dance music. Adam Gase sucks.

Me too. Phil Simms even won a SB and He was pretty lousy.

You talk Campbell up all the time yet it’s interesting you seem to always leave out how tough Miami finished that season. From 3-3 after his first two coached games to 6-10 overall which included wins of 1 point, 2 points, and 10 points vs NE at the end of the year when the Pats didn’t seem to give two shits about the game.

Sparano in spite of his shortcomings was a loved coach by his players. I hated what happened to him. Dan Campbell was the epitome of a tough guy. We need that type of mentality. I hate this BS finesse play.

Chad Henne happened to Tony, that’s pretty much it. I remember the days when the wildcat and mike Dan Henning were holding Henne back per Finheaven. Hahahaha hahahaha hahahaha. Henning knew his QB sucked.

Finesse offense and defense built for the lead which we never have. And gase somehow gets a pass?

Not from me. The boring Dolphins struck again. Failed to score in the first quarter again. Shocker. Didn't even watch because I figured I'd be bored. That's all on Gase the Whisperer.

That win over the Pats cost them home field in the championship game and they lost at Denver. I’m pretty sure they cared. We lost Cam Wake after those first two wins and still gutted out tough wins against Philly, Balt and NE. All coaches who were supposed to school us.
 
The players mimic the mentality of their coaches. Sparano and Campbell both preached tough physical football and that's how the guys played for them. Gase is too much finesse football and that's exactly how the players play under him.
 
Slow starts bother me. The Pats almost always score on their first drive, we need to do this. If Gase is the offense master, this should have already been taken care of.
