Looking at the Fins...........

It's none of the above. Lately they have been poorly coached.

 

This sounds way too ra-ra for me. Outside of perhaps two games against Arizona in 2008 and New England on the road 2010 they've been had attitude, persistence, and effort. Their problem has been in actual gameplay.

 

The only game that I feel 1 and 2 have to do with was the last week of the season. 3...maybe one or two more.

 

On the road last season we looked all of the above

 

Ob2.

 

the dolphins just need to be more consistent in every phase of the game. who gives a damn about swagger or a bad boy mentality. these guys just need to play hard every down. it got to a point last year were it seemed like they just didnt care

 

That last game was all of the above even with a great week of practice.

 

Um, I'll go with 4 - "No Bad boy mentally" even though I have no clue what that means.

 

Would you say in watching the Fins for the last 5 or more years, that it looks like:

1- they play with no swagger Colts
2- they play uninspired On the coaches
3- they dont seem to get up for games On the coaches
4- no bad boy mentally Colts
5- play hoping not to loose rather then with confidence On the coaches

How do you fix that attitude we see year after year? Get new coaches

 

coaching, coaching & coaching

 

I think the phrase winning cures all....really is quite right in this case.

For example, the Patriots check your ego at the door mantra, might not be as well recieved by all players, if they didnt have a consistantly top of class record. They lost Tom Brady, and managed to go 11-5. This isnt lost on players. Is it because of coaching...it sure is.....but it makes the buy in much, much easier when a FA walks in...knowing that playing for the Patriots means a great chance at a Championship.

Its the same for the 80's Niners, the 90's Cowboys.

I do believe we lack the same confidence the Patriots have.....and I see that returning only when this team knows what it feels like to completely dominate their opposition for an elongated period.

 

Winning breeds confidence.The fins need to get back to doing things right.That is on the ownership/coaches.
