What is sad is they were right

I have been saying 3 since after the NE game last year....so thanks!

I have never been more wrong about anything in my life. I honestly thought this was a fringe playoff team as long as Henne improved (as he did, before being injured). I did not envision this defense collapsing as if it got sucked through a black hole...

Its funny because the "realist" and the "haters" were right but they weren't right for right reasons as to why we suck.

The defense was good and was going to hold up. Nope conditioning destroyed them....

Henne was actually one of our more consistent players but because we tried to get orton, he sucked.

Sparano sucked either way, but because we went after harbaugh, thats why he sucked.

Our biggest problem is lack of big plays as per the usual. If our bad players step up, our good player f'ed up. If our good players make a play, the bad ones are doing what they do. The right time for the wrong thing is what this season is about. Or even the right thing at the wrong time.

The reasons were not the ones you mentioned...the reasons we had are still correct.

Our O-line sucks
We didn't get another OLB to complement Wake...so we have no pass rush...
Bush is not an everydown back
Our safties are mediocre, if not bad with Jones
Our DB's are average at best...yes...Smith is actually below average IMO...Davis...is just above average...
Marshall is not a true #1...and he sure wasn't worth what we paid for him
We have no receiving TE's, and don't use them
Dabboll is a crap OC
Oh...and the fist-pumper is a ****ing joke.

The only thing I would give you is that Henne looked OK...FOR 1 FREAKING GAME....
Our running game is better with Thomas than I thought it would be...

So, yes...we were right for almost all the right reasons!!!

if you can't see daniel thomas has some really good things going for him as a player i can't help ya...i know i like what i see from him...he's breaking more tackles than i ever saw on k state tape...and those feet...they're beautiful

I would love to see him with a real OL. Hopefully next year...

Well I for one thought the fins had a chance, a good chance to win games and win a decent amount of them this season. What I didn't see or expect was the monumental collapse of the interior lines both on O and D. This is unacceptable and on no one other then the coaching staff and mainly Sparano, he ****ed around so much that it ruined the entire cohesiveness of the line. The next staff will keep two maybe three linemen from both sides of the ball and need to replace the rest. Square one again.

The team is also to blame, there is no heart or soul to this team. The talent is there to be decent but the desire isn't. The D needs a play-maker, a ball hawk and the O needs a leader. This team flat fell on it's face and decided to stay there while some else walked up and stepped on the back of its head.

Inexcusable and totally unprofessional from the top down and that is what I didn't foresee coming. Its time to clean house again, everything goes. Start with a new QB and a blank slate.

wake is not a one a trick pony...when you have an outside speed rush with an initial get off like wake has and a bull rush like wake also has you are not a one trick pony...

wake just gets no help...at all

That was one of the biggest mistakes this offseason...bringing JT back was a joke...Wake gets no help.
