What is the excuse now homers??

[Cleetus]

I said this last year, we cannot win with the status quo and what did this off season give us more of the same. I really expected the team to go for another 7- 8 win bleh season but I am happy that they are doing so poorly that we might actually be able to draft a good qb in Luck and clean house in coaching and gm staff. Another 6-8 win season might have let the owner buy some excuse why this happened, 0-16 would not. Ireland was let off the hook for all of Parcells mistakes and the same for Sparano for the last Offensive coordinator- this time they have no built in excuses, they just suck.

Why we don't throw back shoulder fade to Marshall in the RED ZONE kills me and why are we not more animated with R. Bush in this offense is beyond me...

 

[natetherock]

I don't think I've ever seen a worse team in the red zone. How can we have 37 minutes of possession and only muster 16 points.

Nublar man I dont know you personally but I've been around these parts for awhile and you where here even before me. I remember the awesome videos you make/used to make. So there's no doubt in my mind you love this team.

As far as I go, I believe that I love the team just as much brother. I have had this team in my life every year since I was 4 so they are pretty much the definition of NFL for me. Its the Dolphins (my team) and then everyone else.

I dont think anyone here thats a true fan really wanted to see this team lose today or at any point in time. No one here is happy about that that is a true fan. What may seem like happiness is really a desire to get rid of a set amount of personel that they believe are holding the team back from getting back to its winning ways.

I dont have time right now to get into details and my wife is hounding me to GTFO, but let me just say that many wanted a change to the OC position last year and got it. But the team was having many more issues that extend beynd that. From coaching, to QB play, to FS play and many, MANY other issues that we've constantly had for years and they just dont get fixed. They get patched up. Like patching a bullet hole with a band-aid, it 'aint gonna hold, your going to bleed out.

So my point is, that I dont think people are happy but rather maybe relieved to an extent that hopefully the future will soon bring renewed hope for the return of the glory days where there seems to be none right now.

Now this is a good response. Thought out and wasn't a "I told you so" type of response.

 

[Cleetus]

The people give I told you so responses because they did just that last year. We said that the team was not viable with just a change to OC, some people were very emphatic about us being wrong and it seems we were not. We did tell everyone who would listen, last year!

Even better.. Those same homers call the realists "non fans".. Well IMO its the blind homers that support these clowns that are not "real fans"(as the homers would put it). If you support crap like this, if you support mediocrity, if you support losing, how can you call yourself a fan.. Thought id throw it back into their faces as they did ours.

I understand that every fan base has blind fans who defend their team even though they are completely wrong. Like people calling our cb's best tandem in the league. After starting 0-2 people said.... but hey guys those are real good teams you can't expect to win blah blah blah. Well today we saw not only the dolphins lose against the browns without their BEST player and the bills beat the unbeatable patriots. How do you feel now??? What is the excuse now? Who do you blame now? Obviosly not the fans. Stop being such homers and realize that us fans that are pointing out everything that is wrong with this team are real fans too. We would not be on a damn forum of an 0-3 team who has done nothing in years if we were not true fans. We need to get a qb and that only comes by drafting one early in the first round, We also need another coach, sporano is terrible.

Will you admit that you were wrong about Sparano?

I don't think I am. I think the PLAYers, have to make PLAYs. Period. The coaches put them in position to make plays, as evidenced by how we dominated the Browns for a majority of the game; but when it counts the PLAYers are not executing the PLAYs well enough.

 

[DolfanISS]

I'm not sure I blame the coaches for Bush, I'm starting to think Buch just really isn't that good. He seems to run away from space, despite everyone saying he loves it, and has butter fingers. We say nobody can cover him yet he's a non factor in the passing game.

These losses ruin my day, but at the same time you knew what was coming today if you were paying attention, even if you wouldnt admit it. Im just hoping we can gut this staff and get in someone with sense. Not Carl Peterson. I seriously might hurt someone if we hire him as GM. We need a new QB, new coaching staff, new FO, ect. Most of us knew this from a while ago. It doesnt mean we wanted it to happen...it was just the reality of the situation. It is what it is.

This reminds me of the movie "Ernest Scared Stupid."

The scene where it flashes back to Ernest in grade school and he's having to write, "I will not...whatever" on the chalkboard. And the teacher says, "He never knew when to quit." Then Ernest drags his fingernails down the chalkboard making this ear-shattering sound...and then the teacher slaps the **** out of him.
