Absolutely agreed.

I'm usually a pretty positive guy, but this administration has burnt me too often. The QB crop is not that good this year, so unless a LT or ILB is worth the no. 5, we should trade it for more high-round picks to stock up on lineman (both sides of the ball).

We won't be able to sign no. 5. Trade it.

Why do you keep doing this to yourself? We'll pick the 9th best punter or something with a top ten pick. I won't even get interested until I know real football people are doing the picking...

If he were still here, we would still be in last place. Who the f*** cares about Peters?

Congrats! One good thing happened today, at least. Oh yeah, it's the 4th Sunday of Advent. There are bigger things than football.

The one thing missing from Parcells' list is - won at every level he played. There are lots of college QBs that have size, arm, and smarts, but the great ones refuse to lose (Kelly, Marino, Staubach, Stabler, Elway, Peyton Manning, Tom Brady). I say the personnel rep should challenge the guy to a game of ping pong and see how he treats it. If he absolutely must win, that's your guy. Also, we do need a cold weather QB. Sure, we don't get snow but maybe once or twice, but it gets really cold in November and the winds make it worse. Kelly was perfect and I think Marino would have been good too.

Yeah baby, Go Noles! If Miami wanted a bowl game, they should have won more. Bowls are about TV, not marginally better records. No. 1 thing in a QB should be "is he a winner?" Look at the greats. They all won at every level and refused to accept losing. The one notable exception was Archie Manning. He deserved a better fate.

Marv Levy is a class act and was a pretty good football coach. One can question his choice of a head coach and his talent evaluation, but he has earned all of our respect and deserves to be thanked for trying to fix this team. He took a chance. It didn't work. Move on and have a little self respect.

Yikes, glad I didn't get to watch that poor excuse for football. Just caught a little radio of it and decided to do something else. Guess we wait until next Spring and hope a lot of different people are running this show.

Not gonna happen. Ralph knows that Lombardi couldn't win with this team and all its injuries, both physical and mental. He'll let Dick ride out the season and pull the plug then, if only to keep season tickets from tanking. Can't help but think he is stripping things down to prepare for the next owner in whatever city that may be.

I don't know why anyone thought we had much of a chance with practice squad players in key positions. This is another 2007. It's too bad. They were looking ok until Poz went down. Now teams just have to shoot the middle of the defense, especially now that Whitner is out too. It's rotten luck and shows how cheap we've been in getting depth.

Finally got to see them play on a Sunday here in S Florida. Almost went to the game. Glad I didn't. What did I learn? The Dolphins can beat up on our second stringers. 2007 all over again.. I also thought Trent was going to be good, but I think Bill Walsh was wrong about him. We keep getting these guys who never really won in college and never played in the snow. How smart is that? I'll watch the scoreboard from now on, but I have more important things to do than watch preseason games until December.

Yeah, I tried this one last week and got nothing. Thanks for the other tips. Here in FL I couldn't even watch the FSU-USF game on TV (not that I'm terribly disappointed to not have witnessed it..)

1. Miami Dolphins, but mostly their fans. 2. Miami Hurricanes 3. Florida Gators 4. N.E. Patriots 5. St. Louis Cardinals

This blows

Losing the field position battle in the last few series

Same problem of porous secondary.

Another pick!!

Just need to tighten up the secondary. They were getting shredded until the pick

Whitner!!!

Lee Evans still plays for us? Awesome.

and a long wait for Poz to come back from injury... Teams will attack the middle now.

Just when it looked like there was some hope for this season. We are now amazingly weak up the middle.

Normally I discount preseason, but this is really ugly. I don't think there's much chance that these guys don't have enough pride to dog it in preseason. They want to win their individual battles, even w/o a game plan, but I don't see it. This love affair with undersized players makes no sense in a home field that snows for a 3rd of the season. I think Ralph was hoping that Dickie would turn into a Jeff Fisher, who took a few years to get a good team going. He realizes that he probably doesn't have time to blow it all up and start again, so he's hoping against hope. God bless the man, but he's only made one good hire in his life and he ran that guy (Polian) out of town.
