    I know right now most everyone is posting based pure emotion, but in an effort to get cooler heads to prevail, didn't we discuss the off-season lockout as being a factor in team's performances this season?

    Just tossing that out there to consider guys.

    We weren't the only team locked out though. And from what I understand we were one I'd the most active teams to prctice on our own with henne at the helm. I don't think lockout is our issue here

    I still can't fathom how we can have only one timeout left with about 5 minutes to go AND the 6pt lead. Coaching. We lack it.

    Tell that to the Bills and Lions and Browns. After watching this team in 2009 and 2010 it's clear they have no direction. Coaching staff has to go, and Henne is not a franchise QB.

    Same problem, different decade.

    The lockout is not responsible for not being able to gain a single yard on that final drive...just more awful decisions by Sparano. I don't know how anyone can defend a coach that makes stupid decisions week after week.

    No, it seems to me they do not have things sorted out down inside the 10 yd line.

    Dbess has also been having to many drops, and overall not playing as sharp as we are used to seeing him play.

    I don't buy the lockout thing because it happened to everybody. It's coaching. Look at the Bills right now. Man I'm so impressed with what they did today. Down 21-0 to a powerhouse team and they battled and battled and got themselves an epic win. Chan Gailey is doing a hell of a job with that team. I wish we had competent coaching.

    I heard Rodgers did nothing during the lockout. He's still playing lights out. There were 31 other teams locked out and only a couple look as bad we do.

    You know at the end of the day there's another problem. How many points has Marc Colombo cost Miami? He cost them 7 against Houston. He cost them probably 4 against the Browns and those are just on plays you can't forget. I really do think one guy is absolutely shooting Miami in the foot. Giving up 17 points, 23 points to Houston (including 7 because of Colombo) isn't the end of the world.

    How many points have we lost because of this dude playing?

    Word.. hell of a fight to them. Most of us (including me) were laughing at the Bills last year. No one's laughing now but them.

    This basement is sorta dark.. we haven't been down here in awhile
