The Chill Pill: One Over Par

Everyone who has said this season was "disappointing" "unsatisfactory" can go ahead and suck it right now. If you'll recall midway through 2009, just before the season started, there was a consensus that the Miami Dolphins would be right on track in the rebuilding process if they could achieve an 8-8 record for the 2009 season. We ended up at 7-9, one over par.
In this post i made before the season, you can see just how wrong many experts were. They said that buffalo would be far better than us, and some even predicted the Dolphins to end up with a 4-12 record. The wildcat would no longer suprise anyone. Penningtons arm couldnt get it done. Joey Porter and Jason Taylor were too old. We lost Pennington, so throw that out. When using the wildcat we were ranked as one of the top 4 rushing teams in the league, but the wildcat faded without Ronnie Brown, you can put that in the trash too. So what was our record without Pennington? It was a winning record. 7-6. Without Ronnie Brown we are 4-4. If i told you we were going to lose CP10 and Ronnie Brown 4 months ago, would you believe me if i told you that in the absence of either player we would be at least a .500 team? Doubtful.
The fact that we were able to remain so close to par is a feat in itself. This season the phins lost more key players than i would have liked. Remember when Patrick Cobbs went down? People were feeling the clouds of doom roll over them. Now everyone is in love with the Lousaka monster. When you look at some of the injured players, and their replacements, it almost seems like a blessing. The 2 positions that i think were affected positively by injuries are QB and CB. We are now one year closer to having a great QB, and a shutdown corner. Vontae Davis is one of my favorite dolphins, and i think he will be for a long time. For every big play he has given up, he has made one fully worthy of redemption. Remember when Jake Grove, the cornerstone of our O-line was injured? And then when his replacement was injued in the same game? Amazingly we still won that game in Carolina. Thats resiliency, thats heart. These Dolphins have it.
When you look at how we lost games, it is obvious that these Phins are competitors. In 2009 we lost 4 games by 7 points or less. We were within one score, four times, of being 11-5 again. There were the games that left us scatching our heads, like getting blown out by Buffalo, or giving up our 21 point lead to the Saints. But to me, that is all part of the growing pains. And in case u guys forgot about the rebuild process, read this exceprt from an earlier Chill Pill.
Bill Parcells knows what he's doing. He's building this team like a freaking genius. Its just to hard for a lot of us to grasp. We are all part of the "I want what i want and i want it now" generation. If you really think about whats going on in Miami you should come away with a euphoric feeling of fuzziness. Parcells is doing exactly what he promised. He's constructing a football team with a winning culture methodically and correctly. The process just seems to move so slow at times that it can really be painful to us avid fans. I ask you fellow Dolfans to please be patient and see the big picture. It really is poetry in motion, and the Parcells process is a work of literature that should be appreciated and respected.
So guys, (and you D.I.B.) lets not hang our heads too low. We all set our sights very high and fell short this year. We wanted that 2008 magic Cinderella story all over again. We wanted to defy the odds and shock the world, unfortunately that was not the case. Year 3 is coming. We are going to hit the grid iron green once more, and no doubt knock down a few birdies. Medics out.

God thoughts there, Sarge...
… you are ass for begging for votes… ha ha.
The more I hear about the many contributing players the team lost through injury, the more I’m impressed with the way the season ended. Not only that, but how there was no let up on the guys that were on the the field. Even the fourth quarter of the last game, they showed the mental make up of a fire team under fire.
The season ended less than expected, but there are so many great things already in place…. I can’t wait for the off-season aquisitions that will make this team one of the most formidable next season and for years to come.

well said
hopefully this pulls all the Chicken Little’s off the ledge lol. Nice poll too.
I will say this. I recall Parcells saying the team will be better, and show improvement, but the record might not reflect it. It was funny, because he’s the guy that said “you are what your record is,” but I think he saw that we had an extremely easy schedule last season, and had a lot of young guys and new guys that were going to be playing big roles this season. He was right IMO, because we saw our rookie CB’s show the potential of being a top NFL duo in the near future, we saw the OL gel and look dominant at times, and we saw our young QB show the promise we hoped he would.
So I think we are on the right track, and the roster gets more and more talented and deep every year. I think we are in for a very long run of success, on par with Pittsburgh and New England. They built up a solid foundation through the draft, just like we have been doing, and they’ve reloaded at skill positions, just like we’ll soon be doing, and they build around the franchise pieces on offense and defense, just like we’ll start doing soon..

How can this season be anything other than disappointing? This team had a chance to make the playoffs and lost their last 3 games to other non-playoff teams. The pissed down their legs the last 3 weeks of the season! How does that help them next year? Why are supposedly rebuilding teams (a concept that I don’t accept or agree with) not suppose to make the playoffs? Wouldn’t this team be better off winning the last three games of the season and making the playoffs? Wouldn’t that help with the whole “winning culture” mentality? Does losing the last 3 winnable games against medioce teams mean that the phins have a “losing culture” mentality?
I just don’t believe that crap. This team, this year was good enough to make the playoffs. They were Defending AFC East Divisional Champs who didn’t make the playoffs the following year. In fact, they didn’t even have a winning record. How is that not disappointing?
If you’ll recall midway through 2009, just before the season started, there was a consensus that the Miami Dolphins would be right on track in the rebuilding process if they could achieve an 8-8 record for the 2009 season. We ended up at 7-9, one over par.

"Barely Under Where We Should Be"
Where should we be? I believe that the expectations for this team were way too low at the beginning of the season. I asked this question prior to the season: What other defending divisional champ, in the history of the league, would be satisfied with 8-8 or 9-7 the following season? I can’t think of one. Yet that is exactly what we Phins Fans were expecting. Why, because we are rebuilding? I don’t buy it and definately don’t agree with that.
If anything this season proved to me is that the Phins have just as much talent as almost every other team in the league. If that is the case, a 7-9 record is disappointing.
While I don’t agree with your post, it is very well done. Rec’d.
thanx for the rec'd
and i appreciate your opinion. Check it out ct:
2007 we won 1 game. what would you have been happy with BEFORE the start of 2008?? 5 wins? 6 wins?? I know i would have. i would have loved the chance to relish in 6 winning weeks. It definitely wouldve been a step in the right direction. Then you take into account that we had one of the easiest strength of schedules, so it is not unrealistic to have expected a 7-9 or 8-8 turnaround. But the football gods shone on us for whatever reason. It was glorious yes. But expected no.
So here comes 2009, we are rewarded with one of the HARDEST strength of schedule for winning the AFC East. The NFL’s way of saying, “so you think your tought shit? Prove it”. If we had gone 5-11 in 2008, winning 4 more games than the year before, would you have been happy now? Knowing that we won 7 games 2 years into the bill parcells grand scheme, and we were on the rise, and not what seems like a decline?
So with all this being said, what do you expect from next year? You must have your sights on the superbowl. I’ll tell you what i want next year. I DO expect us to return to the playoffs, whether it be winning the division or getting a wildcard, and then i hope for us to be in the position for many years to come. i am coping this year, with the hope that 2010 and beyond will be what all dolphins fans have been dying for for so long.

Yeah But
Everyone thinks there is this great all encompassing “plan” in place. There isn’t. The fact is that the team won the freaking division in 2008. Was that in the “plan”? Should they have tanked season #1 in rebuilding and won only 4 or 5 games to make ’09’s 7 wins seem better because that is part of the “plan”? That’s crap.
Do I think this is a superbowl team right now. No and I didn’t at the beginning of the season. But this team is definately a playoff calibur team. The fact is that they lost 3 very winnable games (2 at home) at the end of the season that would have put them in the playoffs. They lost those games against teams they should have beat (none of those teams are in the playoffs). And they didn’t look good in any of them. Was that part of the “plan” to not get expectations too high for ’10?
According to this so called “plan” what should be expected in ’10?
. I’ll tell you what i want next year. I DO expect us to return to the playoffs, whether it be winning the division or getting a wildcard, and then i hope for us to be in the position for many years to come. i am coping this year, with the hope that 2010 and beyond will be what all dolphins fans have been dying for for so long.

the reason the season can accurately be called "disappointing"
(aside from the genuine feeling of disappointment i feel) is for all the reasons both medic and ct have stated from different sides of the ball! we did bounce from 1-15 to AFC champs, and then after the start of the season, we showed resiliancy and bounce. where we sat after carolina, having beaten the Pats at home — WE SHOULDA BEEN A CONTENDER!!! WE SHOULDA BEEN SOMEBODY!! it makes it all the more bittersweet because it seemed we weren’t rolling over in tough games with a tough sched.
so it WAS ‘unsatisfactory’ to lose all three final games, sorry! and i don’t think anyone need to apologize or suck anything for feeling that way.
it doesn’t mean one doesn’t love the fins, or is inconsolably negative! nor (where i disagree with CT) does it mean we don’t have any bounce for further building into the next season, since i think the team is young enough to learn from the fuck up, with the right coaching.
and these days, i don’t think it serves well to assume the trifecta is omniscienctly wise — they sure better do their homework — though they have my support…

and yes i am disappointed as well. i know alot of people are, thats why i wrote this post. The purpose of chill pills has been to make us feel better when the chips are down, or to bring us back down to earth when we get too full of ourselves and our team. unfortunately, im trying to do the former.
with that being said. i have completely bought into whats going on in miami, and i am willing to wait 3 F’in years for results. Its painful, yes, but what it comes down to is you are either on or off this wagon.
On a lighter note, its totally unfair that you dont vote for me because of technical difficulties!! would it help if i said i was thinking about you when my comp was down? (akward silence)

Having Crowder go out on the 2nd play of the Texans game was huge. With him out I thought the short middle got exposed by their passing game making us having to play catch-up,……..and falling short.
But, all in all I thought this team showed lots of heart. And, the foundation seems to be getting stronger. This off-season is going to be really interesting.

Has anybody noticed all the signings that the Phins have done?
When you really look at those signings, they have mostly been the needed positions that everyone is talking about. This leads me to believe that the chances of the Trifecta drafting a LB or another defensive player in the first round is most probably gonna happen. I would be greatly surprised if a WR is picked up. I also highly doubt that we will chase a big ticket WR in free agency. I see us waiting another season if it’s needed to get that WR.

it is under par. In golf the idea is to finish with as little strokes as possible. so if par is 68 for a course, and you finish with 67, its a good thing. if you finish with 69 (giggity) you are over par and have the equivalant of a losing record. make sense?

I disagree
the reason why it WAS disappointing was because of the ending. If the Phins were sitting at 4-9 with 3 games left, I wouldn’t be upset if they didn’t make the postseason, and went 7-9, but the 3-game collapse was nothing but disappointing, especially considering how they proved that they could at least come back during those 3 games. That was disappointing.

shoot high, aim low
Take Abe Lincoln’s advice:
“You can please some of the people some of the time all of the people some of the time some of the people all of the time but you can never please all of the people all of the time.”
or maybe follow PT Barnum’s advice:
“you can fool some of the people all of the time and all of the people some of the time but you can’t fool all of the people all of the time.”

Can Someone explain why picks 10-12 have the same record but we pick 12th?
was it on strength of schedule and didn’t we have the hardest?

Strength of schedule at the end of the year. The SOS at the beginning is based on the previous year.
A system that does not make sense as teams rise and fall every year.
