20011 around the corner & down the street

about this & that:

1) Sparano is a failed parcelian experiment in coaching, he is an incompetent.

2) Henne was a wasted pick & unfortunate venture into wishful thinking. for all that has been done to prop him up he remains mediocre @ best. unfortunately, he is not the future of the franchise.

3) when they gutted the interior line, replacing starters with back-ups, for whatever reason, it was the beginning of the end. the offensive line was an elite unit & the back-ups should have played in reserve behind them until injury or talent dictated otherwise. Sparano should have known better.
4) was another big mistake ordaining Henne the starting QB after weak training camps & a disappointing pre-season. competition is the elixir of success.

5) defense is playing extraordinarily well, but that is not enough to compensate for a flawed offense & failed special teams. doubt sincerely that make the play-offs. my prediction: 500 or less & a new coach & QB in 2011

Wow man, message boards after losses are a nightmare.

the exit of Bill Parcells in a year we should be contending speaks volumes. :yes: Miami was to be the Centerpiece in his NFL Crown of Glory. this was his ticket out in the blaze of SuperBowl splendor. he would not have stepped down, had he thought the team was a contender. one of his last words: 'Henne is a disappointment'. think about it.

Only if you read into it that much.

Thats it!! I've written a letter to Stephen Ross this morning. I'm sending it via courier to Miami today. That letter request you become the VP of Football Operations, General Manager and Head Coach of the team. Clearly you think your opinions, no matter how misguided, are 110% correct.

- How can you possibly consider Henne a wasted pick? Especially when its clearly obvious to everyone he's consistently improving his play? Experience leads to development. You can't develope a player if you dont let him on the field. Hence the reason for "ordaining" him our starting QB.
- How can you possibly consider a head coach who took a 1 and 15 mess to an 11-5 division winning team incompetent?
- How can you overlook that this team has a core of young players, filled with potential and this team is getting better as this season goes on.

I'm not sure why I even bother.

Glad to see patience runs through the Miami Dolphins fan base.

Abandon ship! We will not contend in 2010...

it is what it is: our defense is carrying the team & we are further away from contending then in year one. don't like my opinion, don't post the thread. would rather take your hostility out on a fellow poster than the team? be my guest. just remember when 2010 has come & gone what I told you early on. 500 or less on the season & the team is restructured in 2011 w/o Sparano or Henne. got no more to say on the subject. you've got my complete & honest opinion , however, its only an opinion :up:

I'm not attacking you, I'm just confused as to how you came to the conclusions that you did. Can you please explain them?

Also, not to be a pain here but aren't the two bold sentences contradicting themselves?

just remember when 2010 has come & gone what I told you early on. 500 or less on the season & the team is restructured in 2011

No, early on you had us winning the Super Bowl.

you get the gist of it. this is my last post of the thread. have fun ladies:

I predict no better than a 500 season & a major shake-up @ the end of the year:

1) head coach Soprano will be fired. possible replacements: Bill Cowher, Jon Gruden should be available, there are others
2) Pennington officially moves into coaching cadre in 2011 @ QB coach & could be a long shot for Hennings' job @ offensive coordinator, Jason Garret may be available after a very disappointing cowboys season, there will be others that can get the job done
3) we go to the draft for another QB with our first pick, then proceed to find a quality RB, Center & TE wherever, however, in whatever order

the only light @ the end of the tunnel might be if they bench Henne & start Pennington next game. but I don't see Sparano doing this... he will parish with his QB

That's the thing 23rd. Your cred is shot. You promised us blood in the water and they will contend for the SB in 2010. Too late to backpedal bro. I understand that the Orca thing got you all upset and God only knows why you want to see Pennington out there. Relax and ride it out. We still have a lot of season left. I would hate to see you make another rash decision
:dolphin::dolphin::dolphin:

Well I didn't think we were winning the super bowl this year and I honestly don't know anyone who thought we would. The important thing is we have proved to the league we can play with anybody. As we improve those close losses will become victories. Any change to this regime would make me question ross's sanity

Some posts to be sure , some are pretty salient .... club section has some legitimate concerns , questions, suggestions ...

Hard to stomach losses when you continually hinder your chances of winning isn't it Allen? :cry:

Well you don't look a day over 10,000 years old.do you moisturize?

I'm not totally against looking at Sparano. When you under achieve everything must be looked at. Sparano is looking more and more Wannstedtian each and every week in my opinion.

I know I'm alone here and will get ripped...whatever.

This. I couldn't agree more.

And I know it didn't impact the outcome of the game, but calling a timeout immediately after the blown call was a real head-scratcher. Sparano has consistently shown that he doesn't get 'it' when it comes to time management.

Did you purposely make that font color powder blue so we had to squint to see it? Dude....

Another thing. Your statements cant even be taken at face value because they are just so blatantly absurd. Please.....show me something that tells me you arent just some troll....bent on making our ears bleed with idiotic haiku's about the Miami Dolphins.

the TO was fine...if he hadn't called it the clock wouldve started and they wouldve taken it down to the 2 minute warning.

Good point.
