release all of your frustration here. If you have anything that you are concerned about on this team discuss it here.

The thing that frustrates me the most is we are not using our offense correctly. We have 2 GREAT running backs on this team. But we do not use either one enough. Instead, we really on gus frerotte. Also I am very disappointed that Saban did not give Rosenfels enough of a chance. He was the best quarterback in preseason and in training camp. The whole competition was between Feeley and Frerotte. Rosenfels outperformed them but was already ruled as a backup. Now it is time to give him a shot at the position that he has deserved for a long time.
 
:fire: :yell: The offensive playcalling sux.:fire: :yell: I can't take it anymore.:fire: :yell: What are they thinking.:fire: :yell: aaahhhhhhhhhhhhh. :goof: I feel better thanks. By the way I agree with your opinion on Sage.

I dont get why this has to be negative? Dolphins have major problems, and if someone discusses their opinion on it, they are labled negative on this board. Its not negativity, its reality.

Main issue for me is the QB. Yes Gus is a piece of horse pucky, and yes Sage should start. Will that makes a difference? Doubt it. But we need some excitement from the QB position. Gus is as exciting as contracting a VD.

Offensive line blows. Secondary blows. Both need MAJOR changes. Sam Madison and Reggie Howard are a waste.

Chambers is a disappointment. But would be nice to see what he can do if he had a QB that can throw the ball to him.

Ronnie Brown is the best thing going now. Exciting, powerful, full of energy. A joy to watch.

I love Saban and know he will turn things around next year.

Personally I dont' think we should be worrying about Ricky. By using Ricky it's taking Ronnie out of a rythm, and Ricky isn't really gaining anything anyway. Just let Ronnie run it and not worry about Ricky as much. He obviously isn't quite ready to be a force again.
 
The most frustrating thing for me right now is that we're losing with older players instead of letting the young guys play more and see what they can do.If we're gonna lose then let Ronnie run and let see what Gilmore and Welker can do out there and let Roth play more and yes, start any of the 2 other QB's just to see what they can do.The other thing is the o-line as always.I wish our o-line could play more like the steelers o-line.They always bring it.Ok, I'm done.

p.s. I'm not being negative, I'm just realistic.

Ozzy rules!!
 
We've got more holes than Swiss cheese! We're still recovering from years of extremely poor personnel decisions. It will take more time to rebuild than we want to sit through. Thanks for nothing Wanny!
 
Ok here it goes

The ****ing o line ****ing sucks, Gus is a big piece of ****, the defense didnt step up when we need them to, Reggie Howard is a lump of ****, Chambers is good but inconistent as ****, the penalties have died down but when we do get them they cost us. the whole ****ing team played like ****ing ****, thosepunk *** ******* are so ****ing ******ed, and what the **** is up with the playcalling? lately I mean ****!

Alright I feel better now.
 
Chambers gets a fat contract...then underperforms. We trade Feeley, and Gus has one of his worst games. We have TWO outstanding running backs, and Gus is attempting around 40 passes a game.

Those are just the top three in my head.
 
It's time Saban started taking some heat for the poor performance of this team. I came into the season very optimistic. Last year's team started off as largely the same as the team that averaged 10-11 wins over the previous four seasons. Then Ricky left. A whole new OL was brought in. Both starting DTs went down. Continual chaos in the front office. Injuries to QBs. Injuries to LBs (Seau and Zach). It was a miserable season, but one in which the Fins played horribly and still had a chance to win all but 2-3 games int he final minutes. They lost something like 6-7 games where the margin of victory was a turnover returned for a TD. Everythign that could go wrong did.

I felt that the team should be dramatically improved. Saban didn't inherit a perennial 4-12 team, but rather a perennial 10-6 team that suffered through every type of bad luck imaginable. With a few personnel upgrades, better discipline and fewer turnovers, this should be a 10-6 or 11-5 team.

On our way to 2-4, we've seen an incredible lack of discipline (still on pace to shatter the NFL record for penalties) and lack of execution. With a few exceptions, the problem hasn't been getting physically beaten, but beaten in terms of discipline and execution.

The personnel problems that still exist are largely Saban's fault. AT QB, he signed a 34-year old journeyman and handed him the job after he was outperformed by several other QBs in the preseason even though he was the only one who came in familiar with the system. On the OL, he stood pat, adding just 1 potential starter on a one-year deal (McDougle). At receiver and TE, he also stood pat, even though it was one of the deepest receiver drafts in NFL history. He elected not to take any. At CB, he chose to trade Surtain for a pick he then used on a backup DE. And yes, the cap space was there to keep him, especially with estimates of $15-20 million in cap space next year. At safety, Saban elected to let last year's guys go and signed 3 new guys he liked better.

I'm sick of hearing that this is not Saban's team yet. That's BS! The defense has 7 new starters (8 if you consider that Seau missed most of last year), with the only returning players still undoubtedly the best players on this defense -- Zach, JT, Madison and Seau. Those guys clearly are not the problem. The other 7 starters were Saban selections. On offense, Saban got the QB he wanted (however moronic that decision was). He's got two extremely talented RBs that weren't on the roster last year. Since he made vitually no attempt to make changes on the OL, he presumably has the OL he wanted. The same is true at WR and TE. and he has the most expensive asistant coaching staff in the NFL. The play we have seen so far is simply not acceptable.

And no, it doesn't have to take time. Recent NFL history is chock full of teams that won 5-6 more games than the previous year.
 
I don't understand why we need a whole thread about negativity....the whole board seems to be devoted to it. :tongue:

Putting Sam and Howard in the same sentence makes me wonder if you have actually watched a game in the last two years.

Madison was our best corner last year (yes, even with Pat on the same field) and his LIGHT YEARS better then ANY corner we have this year.

The constant bashing of Sam Madison on this board drives me around the freaking bend.
