Definitely the Indianapolis game. Most likely the Saints game too. What do you guys think?

Had we stayed injury free, and also had Marshall, we were Super Bowl contenders.

Not with that porous secondary.

You know, I did not think that it was possible to be any worse off at FS than we were with Renaldo Hill back there. Amazing.

I did exaggerate, however, I do think we would have made and won a playoff game.

Yeah, I agree, we would have beaten the Steelers and that would have put us in the playoffs.

This question is irrelevant.

So is the state of Iowa, what is your point, farmboy?

Wow.

No need for that dj.

Awww! It's all in good fun!! I got a little laugh out of it! Iowa, yer ok with it, right?!?! We can all be friends still. Poke. Poke. Maybe the farmboy was a bit much, but whatev! I'm in Washington state, talk about irrelevant! You can call me granolaboy... it comes with the territory!

No.

In that case, sorry man. I'm a bit newer to the board and was just hoping that this was just friendly banter.

It's an awesome day in dolphin history and i know emotions are running high, at least mine are, I guess I'm just being overly optimistic today.

The Saints and Colts games come to mind.....

yeah def the saints and colts game we could have won with Marshall

And the Patriot game in Foxboro....

Could've beaten the Jets by even more!

I think we would have beaten the Saints and Colts....and Steelers. I also think we would have had a good shot of beating the Texans. Imagine what the team could have done in 2008 with Marshall on the squad and that cushy schedule We have another tough schedule next year and the Phins and Jets are in an arms race....but Brady and the brats are still the champs....gonna' be a hell of a battle in the AFC East in 2010

Don't know?? We got our points in most games last year.

We usually lost because our Defense couldn't stop them when we had to!! (Year before D made miracle stops for Ws)

Agree we really needed Franchise WR Marshall. Now we have to build the D to win, & the good news is ... that's Tuna's specialty.

MeThinks Tuna will draft DL (includes OLB & NT) as they're harder to come by & more expensive, drafting DL makes better sense than buying. (Same was true with previous drafts of LT, DL, & CB ... highest salaries)

Safeties are easier/cheaper to buy or trade for.

I feel that all we need is a good safety and this team should be a force. Can't wait for the draft!

Um...what about nose tackle and outside linebacker? Miami has one NT in Paul Soliai right now...and he was plain awful last year.
The current guys to play OLB are Charlie Anderson and Cameron Wake.

Sounds like a force to me.

Again, I am going to ask you this, DID YOU WATCH ANY GAMES LAST YEAR?????

Cam Wake is going to be a STUD.

Wow.

Yeah, did you? Did you notice the horribly inconsistent pass rush? Or Soliai's terrible play?

"Wow."

Did you notice what Wake did the times he was on the field?

here is a hint *rushed the passer*

FYI, I haven't missed a game in 15 years, thank you Sunday Ticket.

Takes more than just one guy...Cam Wake cannot head up the field the way he would like if we have to be worrying about the run all the time.

Plus, Cam is going to get doubled if we don't opposite him with someone. Also, who says he can play in a base 34 yet?

As if that suddenly makes you credible.

The young buck just school you there, jim, what're you gonna do? Laugh at him and say "wow" and ask if he's ever seen a game?

How about we all cool off a bit?

You guys want to continue your sissy match, take it to the PM's please.

So we have to cool off, but the moderator gets to throw a punch?

We almost took both SB teams... to say we would not be a contender with that kind of firepower on O is unfair. Yes, we would have been a contender for the SB. Certainly as much as the other top 3 teams in the AFC.

As for next year, we got some bigger, larger holes to fill before I can make the same boast. First, JT = OLB for now and frees up a draft spot for top flight FS. Sign his butt. NT can come in the 3rd easy (Mt. Cody).

How does that help the nose tackle position, which is the most important position in a 34?

iowa gets smacked down for his punk @ss answer (question is irrelevant) and everybody races to his defense. Iowa, just ignore the thread if you don't like it.

It's like beating up a retard. Where's the challenge and what's the point?

Who are you, the new mod around here?

I really need to hear this Rich guy's radio show....

Completely unnecessary. And don't give me the, "I was just messin around".

That went over the line. Please don't make the mods lock the thread as this is the 2nd time we have to say something.

Thanks.

OK , back on topic. seems opinions here if we had Marshall last year we would have gone undefeated & won the super bowl ... I will expect no less this upcoming year.

this thread has gotten out of hand , just though i'd add to it.

I think the Patriots opened up the flood gates .... steal a receiver via trade with off the field problems (Moss) & rehabilitate him & have success. Jets & Dolphins have followed suit.
In all cases I like the trade , like the player on the field but dislike the person(s)
