Why did we have to make playoffs???

[fiftyofhaze]

****. A young *** team in rebuilding mode ain't built for superbowls. Yet. Last year things went perfect. Simple offense. No turnovers. No injuries. Playoffs this year just makes our stud number one reciever that much further out of reach. We finish 7-9 8-8. We have a decent draft pick and can be heavy players in fa. And get the pieces we need to replace age. Look at denver and Cincy. Completely redid their programs in fa and draft and both Making playff runs. We are a great team. Need to take the pennington out of the offense. Next year is no nonsense football. I trust the trifecta to get some studs in Miami.

I actually agree with you. Not sure on how the Trfecta will approach the process next year.. but don't be too excited about FA pick ups.. although he lack of production from our receivers are a glaring necessity that would easily be upgraded that route.

I for one predicted an 8-8 season. More so, i stated I'd be happy with finishing .500. Having a shot at the playoffs made us all somewhat punch drunk at the possibilities. we're a year.. or even 2 away from legitimate contention. Build, build, build. Then keep on building and retooling.

 

[fiftyofhaze]

Absolutley. We got the pieces in place and I even see this team making a strong push if we had had an easier schedule and no injuries. But name a team that lost qb and rb in one year and finished .500??? Anyone get those stats???? All u new fin haters??? Anyone????

I believe the Patriots went 11-5 last year without Tom Brady and with a QB who hadn't started a game since high school.... and Maroney only played in 3 games...

hahaha.. What pieces??? qb a couple of young corners and a d tackle that had an awesome season. Not to mention a rb coming off a major injury.. So much work to do please don't kid yourself..

Dude. First of all I could have filled in for the pats last year. They were coming off an undefeated season and a superbowl apparance. And maroney not playing didn't mean faulk and benjarvis green Ellis weren't running wild. The pats are clearly not a running team. We are. We had pennington who limited our offense. Henne needs to air it out. Maybe u should buy another pats jersey or hop off their nuts

Qb that shows more promise than anything we've seen in 12 seasons

rb tandem that is incredibly successful as a unit.

Wr core that would compliment a true number one amazingly. We have the three pieces minus the go to target

insane offensive line with depth that will e around for years to come

a defense that's second in the NFL in sacks.

2 young CBS that could be the staple of our defense for years to come. Vontae turning into a ballhawk and Sean smith has about 3 years under his belt at defnse. It will click eventually.

Young d line that creates pressure with depth

cam wake is gonna be a freeney type problem fir years. The boy is hungry.

Solid kicker and punter

ohhhh and an incredibly talented fb. Top 3 in NFL. Hands down.

So I guess ur right. We suck. **** outta here wit ur bull****. Go be a jets fans we dontneed u

Translated: "Its okay to lose".

I disagree completely. Its NEVER okay to lose. I know that (little, nagging) issue separates me from a great number of people here, I don't buy it.

You guys seem to take "moral" victories away from Fins games. Whatever. IMO, there is no such thing as a moral victory. There is "next year". You have to live in the present.

Five of our most promising "young players" could get hit by cement truck next year. Nothing is guaranteed.

Win here, win now. Anything else is unsat.

WTF are you talking about? Sorry I just read that part and the sight of such nonsense made my head come eerily close to exploding.

How do you people say such things? We are a great team? ROFLMAO! I would love to walk around in your peoples world just for a day. Totally separated from reality, no idea of what is actually going on. Its got to be a blissful existence.

ROFL! Slimm, when I saw it was you I knew you were going to kick this nonsense right out of the park.

Its amazing the level of incompetence that so many of these people will not only tolerate, but appreciate.

Its one thing to say "OMG, TS is the coach of this team and it won't change...so I have to accept it".

Its another thing to say "I have faith in TS to build this team...build, build, build, coach Tony the Tiger...You're Grrreat!"

Its frustrating as hell to witness.

Lou Polite is top 3 in the NFL? At what, leg whipping defenders on TD passes?

Cam Wake is going to be damn near 30 by next season. Hes not going to be doing anything for "years".

Our Dline has depth? Who backs up Soliai? Oh wait, he is a backup. Just so you know, 3-4 defenses are built around NTs. Without that, you are destined to be avg at best. Soliai is just ok, nothing special.

Vontae Davis looks good. Sean Smith? Oops. Not so sure about that .

Not having a #1 WR is serious...its not just, "once we get that". We may never get that. They don't grow them on trees.

We need two OLBs. Two. Whats your suggestion?

You think our Oline is insane? I think the money that Vernon Carey is insane...esp when you watch the Texans abuse him yesterday.

I wish you were my boss. You see everything positively, I'll say that about you. :confused:

 

[enterhenne09]

Lou Polite is a BEAST. Sean Smith sucks but he is still a rookie. Cam Wake turns 28 in a month and if that's old, Ronnie Brown must be getting over the hill, Haha. Yeah we have some problems like f***ing gay wilson, akin aydole who can't tackle his mother....so on and so on. But EVERY team has problems. What every team does not have is our OLine, a young and promisisng QB, the list go's on. The bottom line is were gonna be good. damn good. Maybe not next year but in 2 years watch out, *******.

Yeah but look at Matt Cassel on a crappy team in KC. The two teams he was on don't compare.

Which is a completely different subject...

The guy asked a question....he got an answer...didn't like it...moving on..

Were they in the playoff? Don't remember them in the playoffs.

Losing key players hurts any team, even well run, and experienced teams like the Patriots, and when you have the receivers the Patriots have, you can bring in any half decent QB, and still not lose a beat.
