Our pass D and secondary have been just awful. There were big expectations for Sean Smith and Vontae Davis, but they have underwhelmed all season. Our SS is more a big hitter and the FS play has been inconsistent all year.

Hankerson used to have those problems when he played at the U. It seemed like it was past him with his incredible senior year performance, but it looks like it has reared its ugly head again. I’ve seen a few Redskins games through the season and Anthony Armstrong has been pretty bad as well. Moss has lost his step. It is pretty telling that in what should be a pretty solid WR corps, Fred Davis is the leading receiver.

But that picture you have up in the fanpost is EPIC!!! Beck looks like MacGruber!

You’ve got to be kind of upset to start winning games now, right?

Not really. Players work too hard to root for losing. Fins are historically bad. Plus, Jason Taylor celebrating would make me doubly upset.

in the sense of intentionally throwing games to get him. If your team is just awful and cant win games anyway, then that is a different story.

I predicted that this Dolphins team would be lucky to get in the .500 range (all the homers attacked me for it). They will probably end up winning about 3-5 games this year. Luck may still be an option.

I will admit that getting a win on sunday felt good. I hate losing.

I even saw a post on another site that we even suck at sucking. But the thing that was so exciting about the win last week is the way we won. We had that game won by the 3rd quarter, and we never let up. I can’t remember the last time we won that way. Since Sparano became head coach we have only had 2 other wins by more than 3 TDs(Patriots in 2008 when we unleashed the wildcat, and the Bills in 2009). We have historically gotten ahead, then closed down shop, usually letting teams come back and giving them a chance in every single game for teams to beat us. You can’t give guys that are paid to win the chance to win every single game… they will pull out a good number of those wins. Hopefully we have learned that. I can’t be upset if that is the lesson we take away. That was the entire reason I was ready to get rid of Sparano… but if we learn that lesson earlier in the season, we are not 0-7 … more like 4-3 and in the mix for the AFC east.

But has been battling some hamstring issues. With Bush actually functioning as a somewhat every down back he has seen his playing time go down. He still gets touches on short downs and in power sets. He looks like he will be a solid back for quite a while. Good between the tackles and has a nose for the 10 yard play. He is very underrated as a receiver out of the backfield.

I originally hated the pick, but man has he proved me wrong. He has been a mauler in the run game and holds his own against the very good DTs in the AFC East. He is actually out performing his brothers rookie season if you can believe that.

You called it on the best surprise, Matt Moore. The guy came in as a backup and has played pretty well since Henne went down.

If we get hot and go on a great streak then no. If we don’t win another game this season then yes.

Some would argue he is trying to win back Kim. I have to disagree.

This offense has learned how to use him properly, ie. running him out of 3 wide sets, pitch outs, and sweeps. An improving O-Line has greatly helped him out, this also allows me to transition to Matt Moore.

Moore’s game against KC was set up by a dominant performance by the Fins O-Line. I could complete a pass with the protection he was getting against the Chiefs. This game against the Redskins will help us determine if that was just a fluke or if this O-Line is as good as they looked.
