WVDolphan's Get Real - 2014 Season Preview

The Falcons are horrible, terrible defense and bad oline, no Tony Gonzalez to bail out matty ice. They will finish last in there division again this year.
 
Interesting preview, can't say I agree with most of it...but that's why this time of the year is so much fun. Anything can happen, like the packers scoring 20 points in less than 3 minutes in Seattle, Matt Moore leading the fins to the post season, Matt Ryan torching the Seahawks in the NFC championship en route to his first Super Bowl, the NFL getting rid of soft ass illegal contact penalties...such a magical time
 
My prediction for us is if we win this Sunday we'll control the division most of the season until a mini-collapse in December but we still squeak in. If we lose we're likely looking at 8-8. So if that skynet prediction for the game this Sunday is correct and we're really about 40% to win then essentially for me we're about 40% to make the playoffs. And I'll take that right now.
 
:lol2: Your prediction was expected to be bad, but the moment you put the Falcons in the SB with the amazing melting QB, that is the moment it went from bad prediction to a fantasy you seem to be under that could become dangerous if you don't reach reality soon.
 
Good read. I always appreciate the effort and guts it takes to put together something like that. Doesn't matter whether or not I agree with everything. The positional summaries were very good, for the most part.

I was disappointed not to see any mention of Bob Griffin.
 
Saints don't make the playoffs?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????

They're my SB pick..
 
While WV does make some decent points in his post, there are other things in there that are obviously just trying to get some of you riled up.

Example...

Tannehill should still throw those out routes between 7-15 yards real well. He does that nicely. He also seems to have a knack for connecting in the middle for the short gains to guys like Gibson, or hitting guys who get wide open on little short things set up by play design. Outside of that, I just do not see that much else that Tannehill does well. I still expect him to hold the ball, take sacks, fumble here and there, miss Mike Wallace when he is wide open deep, and throw the occasional INT when trying to attack the middle beyond 10 yards.

The problem with Tannehill is that he simply does not threaten the entire field. The defenses know this at this point. Everyone in the league knows it. The Phins have serious trouble scoring points with Tannehill at QB and that is the major reason why. Tannehill is simply extremely limited as a QB and this allows defenses to know where they can and can not be hurt by Tannehill. Having said that, if the Phins can actually develop a rushing attack and Philbin actually grow a brain and use it, the Phins could win games with Tannehill at QB so long as the defense remains as solid as they did last season. Should the defense take a step back, this could be 2011 all over again. It does however appear as though the Phins might allow Tannehill to make more positive gains with his legs this season as they should. A limited QB like that needs to utilize his legs to move the chains when he can.

Now, if the Phins would be willing to start Matt Moore, the chances of scoring points will be enhanced greatly. While Moore does not do many things great, he is an outstanding leader and throws a beautiful deep ball. While Moore can have the occasional disaster play, he puts the defense on their heals because he can attack the entire field. He can and will attack deep to all areas of the field. This threat opens up so much for the Phins offense. Both the WRs and RBs have much better opportunities to catch the ball in space and make plays. The rushing lanes are also much better because of Moore's ability to threaten the entire field. The offense uses the entire playing surface and the defense must defend it all when Moore is under center. While Moore does not have an A+ 7-15 yard stop pattern throw like Tannehill, he gives the team a much greater opportunity to score points and thus, a much better opportunity to win.
