Don't get me wrong, those reasons why the fins could win the div. in the original topic are valid (just like I could come up w/ reason wht the bills could win it too) , but when used for last years breakdown, they are nothing but excuses.
This is simple. The story on Lucas is that he is a gifted athlete who can't execute a game plan to save his life. Him looking good in the Pre-season is do to the fact that there was no game planning involved. Once a defense prepares a gameplan for Ray he is overwhelmed. This was evident last season as Miami simplified the offense a little bit more each week Lucas was out there. Griese may not look as good as Lucas did this year in the Pre-season (although his one drive last week against Atlanta was pretty sharp) but he is waaaaaaaaayyyyyyyyyyy more competant than Lucas is at executing a gameplan.
Us making excuses for what happened last season is just as bad as people saying the fins are no threat because they fell apart last season.
