faba Posted November 2, 2006 Share Posted November 2, 2006 Though they have not played a good game this season, the Dolphins certainly were talking a good one Wednesday. Staring at the undefeated Chicago Bears as their next opponent, players refused to blink at the prospect of becoming that team's next victim. Some were defiant in their comments about the Bears, with defensive end Jason Taylor leading the boldness as surely as he leads the team in sacks. ''They bleed like us and they can be beaten just like we have,'' Taylor said. ``It's as simple as that. We'll go up there and get after them. ``It's not going to take a miracle to beat this team. I'm sorry. I'll give the Bears their respect -- they're a good football team with a lot of the top players at their positions. But we're not playing the '72 Dolphins or the All-Madden team on the video game. These guys can be beaten; it's as simple as that. I give them respect, but, sorry guys, that's about it. We're still going to go up there to do what we have to do.'' The Bears have done what they've been asked in winning their seven games. The Dolphins have accomplished little other than disappointing their fans and themselves. A BIG GAP That is why Miami is a 13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joewilly Posted November 2, 2006 Share Posted November 2, 2006 kudo's for the players to defend the head coach. a year & a half just ain't that much time. I'm curious how we react if mangini starts losing games we deem we should win note to tx.... "the difference between the best & worst team is minute" that stat tells me the diff between 1st & 2nd place teams in a division must be really tiny Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4HCrew Posted November 2, 2006 Share Posted November 2, 2006 as much as I hate Taylor I agree with him on this. They crowned Saban king last year now think he sucks. He is trying to establish something down there and get his kind of players. The Culpepper thing is killing him but still a quality coach. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

faba Posted November 2, 2006 Author Share Posted November 2, 2006 I will agree with him that the difference being winning and losing can be just a few plays here and there in most games. The trick is to find a way to win- very few onesided games in the NFL nowadays. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He may be a quality coach, but the genius tag that a lot of people here anointed him with certainly doesn't fit. Some of the luster has come off he Saban aura because of the losing and a couple of Herm like maneuvers such as the replay flag throwing fiasco.

SoFlaJets Posted November 2, 2006 Share Posted November 2, 2006 good for Jason Taylor I can actually see them beating Chicago-they ain't as bad (or tough) as everyone wants us to believe-the Bears that is.Hey I saw the Cardinals kick their asses all over the field and a QB who was making boneheaded decisions-They can be beat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quietjets Posted November 2, 2006 Share Posted November 2, 2006 That is what i am afraid of this kind of possiblity with Jets. New Head Coach as a new face in the town, a team gives a 100 percent effort and motivation to have a good first season. Once the new head coach becomes a familar one, the team gets comfortable and goes plummet in the following season.. I dont like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PatsFanTX Posted November 2, 2006 Share Posted November 2, 2006 note to tx.... "the difference between the best & worst team is minute" Keep telling yourself that. The Pats margin of victory this year is 11.4 points per game. The Jets margin of victory is, oh wait a minute, it's a friggn' negative number. You're right joewilly, there is just a "minute" difference between the Pats and Jets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ready to crucify at the drop of a hat. Still, I think it was a mistake for Saban to blame the fans booing and "lack of support" as a reason for losing. You've got to be kidding me. Anyway, I can't say a day without a losing record for Miami is like a day without sunshine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

124 Posted November 3, 2006 Share Posted November 3, 2006 Jason Taylor is a moron. That said, 2-14 with 2 wins over Miami isn't the worst thing I can imagine for a season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
