Is Daboll really the issue???

Well, we'll see about that when Miami takes the field this year, wont we?

I can give Daboll credit for the Patriots and Saints game last year. But 2 games with clever playcalling does not a great OC make. Especially when you had games like our performance against the Jags become our status quo.

Hope you didn't spend too much time digging this up

Thanks for not casually insulting me in this post. Just sayin', it's appreciated.

I have no idea whatsoever is happening with these old threads. None at all.

Accountability. LOL. I didn't think you'd recognize it.

Well... I guess I honestly don't. Because I still don't get the point.

*clears throat*

Daboll was PART of the problem. Injuries... another key element. We had probably 6 quarters of 1-legged quarterbacking from Jake Delhomme too many and injuries across the board. I think they deserve a chunk of the blame too.

Mr. Daboll made some REALLY head scratching kinds of plays, ESPECIALLY on 3rd down where you NEED to move the chains. We would have Hillis taking the ball on 3rd and long and running for 4 or 5 yards when we needed 8 or 9. We would try these trick plays at random moments which they were uncalled for, essentially waisting a down.

Now lets not forget to harp on Mangini for his porous clock managment skills as well...

Last year went the way it did for a multitude of reasons and no single scapegoat deserves the blame when the TEAM lost as a TEAM.
