Should have known a Norv Turner coached team would choke in the playoffs. I will never pick the Chargers again in the playoffs until they get a competent head coach like Bill Cowher.

Chargers vs Vikings with the Vikings winning and John Madden having a heart attack after watching his hero Brett win another one. Too bad his Patsies sucked too badly not to make it. Jets run stops this week. Sorry guys but they actually have to face a real QB this week. Carson Palmer should be planning his next career move ASAP, cause he's not going to make it as a QB in the NFL for much

Browns yeah I could see that, the Jags have packed it in. Raiders, yeah I guess, it wouldn't be the first time they've upset a team this year.They seem to like doing it against AFC north teams, well except the Browns. New England hasn't beaten a quality team on the road yet this year. New England hasn't fared well against offenses with quality passing games either.Hell even Henne put up ove

If this front office wastes another high pick on a specialty player like Pat White again this year, then I will lose any confidence I have left in them.You don't reach for players, at least not in the first 5 rounds.If Ireland does it again he will be lumped in the same class as Wanny, Spielman,Mueller,& Cam Cam.
Forum: Miami Dolphins Civilized Discussion

dolfanmark, I agree with your list as well.I think they will look at getting a legit #1 receiver, but will keep Hartline at #2, Bess in the slot and Camarillo will stick around as the #4 guy. Only question is will they keep Ginn, and will we ever see Pat Turner play again. Adding a TE that can consistently get open and catch the ball when it's thrown his way is a priority.
Forum: Miami Dolphins Civilized Discussion

montequi, I pretty much agree with everything in your post. I still believe that we need to get another big NT to rotate in there with Solai. I don't have much confidence in Ferguson coming back at his age. We may not have enough draft picks, but there may be an option to fill that position in free agency. As for RB, I think we're going to have to do something at that position, because Ricky

I agree with Mike. If Sparano doesn't improve on his clock management and his teams continue to only show up for 1 half of games then he will not be around for very long. His team was not ready, and looked flat in the first half of this game. They played a very beatable team and were not prepared. His clock management was terrible as usual nd it cost them any chance of winning in the 2nd half.

Andre Johnson will get his 100+ yards, but Ricky/Hilliard/Polite will have close to 200 yards rushing. The Dolphins will dominate the Time of Possession in this game and Schaub will fail to pull a Manning.All the people saying how great the Texans are will have to wake up and see that they are slightly above average and no better than the Dolphins. Hey wait isn't that what their record reflects r
Forum: Miami Dolphins Civilized Discussion

Yeah we'll see how that "Protection Plan" works.The Patriots have yet to beat an above average team on the road this season. Hell they have yet to win a true road game (where the opposing team has the home field and crowd) because the Tampa Bay game was played in London. Saints in a big game playing in the Superdome, looking for respect will just be too much for this Patriots teams.
Forum: Miami Dolphins Civilized Discussion

As always I route for the Miami Dolphins. However if they are unable to make it into the playoffs, I honestly wouldn't mind seeing the Titans sneak in. That would be one of the biggest turn arounds in league history. Wouldn't it be fitting to see the Titans sneak into the playoffs after getting on a hot streak. First round they head into Foxboro (site of their last loss and a downright humilia

Watching this game reminds me how much I hate the Patriots. It also reminds me that these Colts are a bunch of coke artists.
Forum: Miami Dolphins Civilized Discussion

Well so far the Colts are a no show for this game. Manning is choking against a weak patriots defense.
Forum: Miami Dolphins Civilized Discussion

Colts and Manning playing like crap right now. Hope they wake up soon. Still a lot of game left though.
Forum: Miami Dolphins Civilized Discussion

Seems the D always starts out playing well and then after half-time they look like garbage. Does Pasqualoni just get out coached in the 2nd half? Does he make any half-time adjustments at all?
Forum: Miami Dolphins Civilized Discussion

I think 11-5 will actually win the Division,but the problem is I don't see the Dolphins being able to win out. The Patriots will most likely win the Division with 10 or 11 wins by default. I can say this is the weakest the AFC east has looked in years.
Forum: Miami Dolphins Civilized Discussion

Mike and berkeley are both right. Too many trick plays and not enough smash mouth football. If they can't pound the ball down the throats of the Bucs defense then something is seriously wrong with this team and it's not just Smiley being out.
Forum: Miami Dolphins Civilized Discussion

A win is a win. Right now Carolina is looking at the scoreboard and laughing at us though. If the Dolphins can barely beat the Buccaneers, how will they fare against the Panthers with such a short rest between games. If Ronnie doesn't play I could see the Panthers winning by double digits easily.
Forum: Miami Dolphins Civilized Discussion

Hope Ronnie's injury is not serious and he is back next week. Even with him though I can easily see this team only winning 1 or 2 more games the rest of the year and finishing with a 5-11 or maybe with some luck 6-10 record. The Bucs were the weakest team left on the schedule and the Dolphins needed a bad call by the Refs to win, not encouraging.
Forum: Miami Dolphins Civilized Discussion

Damn I was way off with those games, but I'm still glad to see both the Bills and Jets lose. However not too happy about how the Dolphins played today. If they play like that the rest of the season 4-12 is a good possibility. Hope I can end up 2-2 with the predictions though.Still think the Colts are going to take it to the Patriots and win convincingly.

Take it one week at a time. Here's my AFC East game predictions for this weeks Dolphins 34 Bucs 13 (Dolphins stay focused and finally get their running game going again against a porous Bucs Defense.They also bring the Bucs young QB back down to earth.) Colts 34 Patriots 24 (Sorry guys the Colts are due to get back on track after two straight mediocre wins and the Patriots secondary will

Something that hasn't happened in a long time. Hope they can figure out something with the defense by next week or the offense is going to have to have a great day, because we will have to score a lot of points for any chance at beating the patriots

Randy is one of the few solid players we have on defense. Starks, Solai, Langford, Merling and Ferguson are the heart of this defense. If they can find a good young guy to replace Ferguson to rotate in there with Solai the D-Line will be set. The rest of the Defense ,well, not so good.
Forum: Miami Dolphins Civilized Discussion

Defense is lacking talent.Defensive line has played pretty well all year. Don't think any inside linebackers on this team could start on any other. Taylor & Porter are too old and run out of gas before halftime. The rest of the outside linebackers are unproven. The Corners are young and are making rookie mistakes while the Safeties just plain stink. So that's what's up with our defense.

Wow that's a tough one. To be honest I have no idea who to root for in that game. I hate the Patriots more than any other team in the league. However I also have learned to dislike the Saints after this week, because their team and fans are so arrogant and annoying. Plus the Saints will be trying to match the '72 Dolphins record. Of course I'm hoping that a team like the falcons beat the Saints b

You can't continuously blow winnable games while starting out the season with records such as 2-4 hoping to recover and go 11-5.Especially when you're a a division with a team such as the Patriots. This team had the Colts beat, holding the ball for over 45 minutes only to hand the game away. This team had the Saints beat, with a 21 point lead and having what was supposed to be the best rushing
Forum: Miami Dolphins Civilized Discussion

If the team can't beat teams like the Saints and the Colts, why even bother playing the rest of the season? The Dolphins had a chance to beat both teams but blew both games. To say "you do know we are playing" such and such team is just a weak excuse. If you can't beat the good teams, then forget the playoffs. Also is it time for guys like Crowder and Porter keep their mouths shut b

Yeah Henne didn't have a good game, but he certainly didn't get much help. I think the bigger issue is we don't have any receivers who can consistently catch the ball. Bess and Camarillio are what they are, Hartline might have some potential.Ginn has speed but can't catch consistently.Turner can't even see the field in favor of any of those guys, what does that say about him?
