What did media pundits see we that didn't?

Before the season started almost every sports writer in a America had written us off as a bottom 5 team in the league. After 2 weeks... it certainly seems that we are.

This forum was abuzz with hope and optimism, and defending players on our squad regardless of the head scratching moves our FO made.

We are clearly a team in disarray. It sounds like Sparano is in jeopardy of losing the locker room. And it's only been 2 frigging weeks!

The biggest surprise of the season has been Buffalo by far. Chan Gailey... Frigging Chan Gailey has gotten that franchise playing well while we still are mired in futility.

What did we miss? winning is the only remedy. And it's likely not going to happen this season.

Many of us just refuse to see us as the back to back 7-9 team we are

Hardly fair. 80% of the fans on this site saw Tony as a lame-duck coach from the start I would say that very few of us thought that this team under Tony was going to reach the playoffs

I dont know I remember the week one poll where 75 percent of this site had us beating the pats

We have no stars on the entire team with the exception of Long

And I still think we have a good team..time will tell...I'm not jumping ship yet..

What are your criteria for 'stardom'? I would argue that we have at least as many 'stars' as the Pats. We certainly have as many 'stars' as the Bills. So, what then is the missing link? Could it be coaching?

Lol that's why i say 70% of the people that post here are lost and just don't know football.

Not I.. Ive been saying since the schedule came out that we are going to start 1-4 and end 5-11 at best. Thats fine with me because I want these f***ers out of Miami!

I never jump ship I just see them as the mediocre team they are.

I never saw the poll. It may be true, I find that hard to believe but one game does not a season make... one thing for sure no one expected the team to be under conditioned.

Yeah a lot of people saw this coming. However, before we anoint the Bills the Phins have played New England and Houston while the Bills have played Oakland and KC. They are not necessarily better than us yet. I think we are about on equal footing though which sucks.

i'm not jumping either, i think what they saw was a team with a poor offensive line, no rb's questions at the qb spot, no deep threat to stretch the field, questions about the secondary. and most importantly an owner who screwd up by chasing after a new coach, only to fall flat on his face.......

 

[Finfan0120]

They've probably talked with Sparano and realized how unintelligent he is. That being said, I called 7-9 this year, and I still feel that way. The first two games were obviously tough.

I also predicted 5-11 possibly 6-10. Those who wouldnt believe that this team was a mess....welcome back to earth.
