Lately, I have been hearing people picking the Dolphins for great things and knocking the Jets down a peg which I appreciate. The Dolphins lost there last 3 games and Hennetotally sucked in December but nobody mentions that. Without Ronnie Brown and the wildcat, they sucked and there defense was ordinary at best. If the Jets played like that, that's all you would here, right? All you hear about the jets is that we blew it getting rid of Thomas Jones and Faneca. Again, the press hates the Jets and look for any reason to knock us down.
Henne completed almost 70% of his passes in December. He threw some picks. His only really bad game was against Tennessee. Not noted however, was that he really had to air it out and take chances. He led the Dolphins to a, I think, 17 point comeback in that Tennessee game to reach overtime. He threw a pick in overtime to lose the game. Secondary was atrocious though. Very young too.
comp % and yards were very misleading. he was totally ineffective along w/ the rest of the offense in 1st halves of games putting Miami in huge holes before making plays in garbage time. He had to air it out and take chances b/c they couldn't score when the games were competitive. Ten: down 24-6 in the 3rd qtr Hou: down 27-3 at the half Pitt: down 24-10 in the 3rd(he left this game early)
'Lombardi breaks down AFC picture" What did the picture do to him? Why doesn't he pick on a picture his own size?
Why are we even discussing this?? The guy just grouped the Dolphins an 7-9 team last year with the fucking Colts and the Chargers... They have a horseshit secondary and QB who hasnt even played a full season in the NFL yet...
How dare he compare the Jets to Kentucky and that slimeball Calipari. As if he didn't lose enough cred by labeling Miami a blue-chipper this comparison certainly did the trick. He must have a thing for Marc Anthony and is trying to get some points.
Funny shit...the asshats on finheaven arent even buying this! Except for the one moron who is making the argument that the Fins are better than the Colts.
These guys should have to write on the bottom of these articles just how shitty their predictions were last year. Try googling "breaking down the AFC 09" for a laugh. You'll find 5-11 Bengals, 15-1 Patriots, 9-7 Colts, 14-2 Steelers, etc. At least he didn't pick the Raiders to win it all...
Nice find Milo. Unfortunately these ass clowns aren't held accountable. They're just paid to write and like a shock DJ they try to make outlandish claims in order to stir up some controversy.
"I don't know how to get people to read my articles so I'll throw in some basketball references - that's popular now, right?"
He never puts UK in his Final Four, so even though the Jets were one of the final four teams last year he won't put them there because he never puts Kentucky? Right. And if that wasn't assanine enough, in his very first sentence about the Dolphins he claims their Super Bowl contenders? This guy is a jackass.
Mike Lombardi was on the Jets jock during the playoffs last season, and now he thinks we're a sham even though we've gotten better. He also said that the Jets cut Faneca because of PSLs, so he clearly has no idea what he's talking about.
The more hacks who downplay us the better. Everytime I hear one these scrubs crowning us Superbowl contenders I get shades of 08 after we beat the Titans. It's bad enough we made the top 5 on NFL Network 32 of 32.
I have never been a fan of Lombardi but why is it every time a writer picks us he's ok but when one does not he's the worst writer on the planet? Who cares what they think? It's all in fun, all of us make bad predictions too.
I don't know how this clown has a job. Hey shitbag, nice comparison between Calipari and Rex Ryan. One isn't exactly known for his x's and o's the other might be the most innovative defensive coach in the NFL you fucking moron. It takes a lot for me to hate a fellow Italian-American. But somehow idiots like Florio and Lombardi do the trick.
