No, we have had good coaching some isolated years in that stretch. Just not consistent.
If Miami doesn't show up against the JETS and ends up losing, then you can blame Wannstedt. Otherwise I blame Norv Turner and the players for the loss against the Texans. Wannstedt didn't call the out pass by Fiedler, and he didn't throw it. But he is responsible for making adjustments with the game plan. This game will be a good test of his coaching abilities.

Yes, and when Wanny wins the Superbowl I will admit I was wrong about him. Until then, until he proves otherwise, he stinks.
When did the NFL shorten the season to only one game?
Is this the new "single elimination" season that I have heard so much about?
Well, at least we are not alone! 15 others teams are finished too. I guess that I should go ahead and sell my tickets to the 'Phins/Bolts game.
Oh well!

Re: You know what, inFIN...
All's good here man thanks... yeah that's me, hehe, don't hate me but, that's exactly what I was doing Sunday during the game....Landed my first jump this weekend, twice!....maybe that's why I wasn't so busted up by this loss. I was listening on the radio the whole time but, when heard anything bad I just cracked another beer turned the radio down for awhile and enjoyed my day.......the odd part is that everytime I turned the radio back up the Fins had scored each time but as soon as I started listening they would start screwing up again.....perhaps the loss is my fault since I had to listen to the whole final quarter. :goof:
Anyway, truth....They call it a "spectator" sport for a reason. I think too many of us are under the impression that we are "participants". Unless you are at a game screaming your head off, there is absolutely nothing you or I can do to affect the outcome of the game so why lose our heads over it??
Whatever happens happens....enjoy the game as the small part of your life that it is.

I believe that would be last year, when our whole season came down to one game.

Thanks, man!
Man, I do love the 'Fins. Especially THESE particular players... THIS team of 2003... is so exciting.
And that's just it. I swear to everyone on this board, I don't so much care if we win or lose. Really!
I care that I see the team (and coaches) play a COMPLETE game... COMPLETELY... with heart.
Otherwise, even the victories become hallow.
It's a privilege for NFL players to do what they do - foget the pay - it's a freak'n privilege to be on that field every Sunday. And I'm sure everyone one of us fans has dreamt of what it would be like to have that kind of talent, that kind of physical gift, and that kind of opportunity. Is it too much to ask that we see that kind of humility, graciousness, and appreciation ON THE FIELD (and in the coaches "booth", too)?

Re: You know what, inFIN...
You know, a couple of years ago after a performance like the one on Sunday, I woulda been gathering all of my Dolphin gear to have a big bonfire in the backyard, drowning my sorrows with a bottle of liquor. Instead, I grabbed my surfboard, went down to the end of the street and rode some waves to get that taste out of my mouth. 81, you hit the nail on the head with the "things you can control" comment. I know that not one out of that bunch of underperforming millionaires who took the field Sunday gives a $h!t whether or not I sell any insurance when I come into work, so why should I upset my life because they don't do their job? I have been a fan of this team for over thirty years, and I will be as long as I live. I've just decided that the "as long as I live" part will be alot longer if I don't tie my emotional well-being to something I can't control.

No More Injuries, Please ;).
Only reason I'm so disgusted is I've been watching these guys (Zach, Taylor, Sam, Surtain, etc and so on) all together for a while now..I want to see these guys win a ring. Before Sunday I thought these guys deserved one more then anyone, but I'm not sure anymore after the way they played. If they want it they'll go and get it.

Sad to see that you are so disillusioned with the coaching staff, that you are giving up on this entire season. So I take it that if we do win the Super Bowl, you'll jump right back on the bandwagon.

AMEN!
Could not have said it better. Thanks, inFIN!
And, actually, I do hate you. :tongue: :D
Growing up in Miami, I used to knee-board almost every weekend. Man, what ffun! :D
It's been like... 14 YEARS!!! since I've been on the water.
Fortunately, I have managed to go snow skiing almost ever three years, since. But it's not the same thing.
Anyway, you still making it up here for the Jags game?
It would really be cool for us to hook up at the game!
