Predictions- vs Ravens

[masterfins]

Cause the coaches didn't like Bush's attitude. He's old. Wanted too much $$$. Time to move on from Bush. He's gone. Not coming back. It's Week 5....time to let it go!

I don't remember any coach saying Bush had a poor attitude.  Who said he wanted too much money??  He never submitted an amount he wanted, and the Dolphins never gave him an offer; they told him to go get an offer from another team and they would think about matching it.  He's old?? Well I'll take "old" Reggie Bush over Thomas and Miller.  Thus far this season (rushing and receptions combined) Bush is 59 for 433 yds and 2 TD's, including sitting out a game for taking a helmet to the knee.  Whereas Thomas and Miller combined are 77 for 319 yds and 4 TD's.  A player like Bush, that CAN run the ball and catch passes out of the backfield, is exactly one of the things this team needs.  It was a big mistake not to re-sign him at the price he went for.

Miami still has to play all of its division games (both Buffalo and NYJ have strong pass rushes, which we've clearly seen is a weak point for Miami), plus Carolina- same match up issues. Their whole schedule is filled with games they'll struggle in.

Pointing out that Bush has missed a game and is STILL better than any RB Miami has doesn't really help your case. -EK

- Leadership Counil Bush was on. They didn't like any of those players who started that. Hence they were all gone

-Bush wanted a "MULTI-YEAR" contract....Miami only wanted him having a 1 year deal. They didn't insult him with any offer knowing he wouldn't take it. Hence he wanted too much money.

-Can't compare stats as Bush has a real o-line in Detroit. What Miami is calling an o-line is a joke.

The coaches didn't like him...period. This debate his silly he's gone and not coming back.

Still debating Reggie Bush in October.....Miami is 3-2 and having Bush wouldn't have had the Fins beat the Saints or help block the Ravens today. With or without Bush Miami is 3-2 as of today. It's silly some of you think this is the issue. Don't care WHO the RB is....with this o-line it doesn't matter!

[EKnight]

having Bush wouldn't have had the Fins help block the Ravens today.

No way you can possibly know that. A good RB (ie, one that didn't end up in the dog house previously for not knowing the blocking schemes) may have done just this. I know how much you love Miller, but he's not impressive, and certainly not an upgrade over Reggie. It makes no sense to pick up players on both sides of the ball like they did, which says to me, "Win now," but settle for an average RB when you have the potential to resign a threat like Bush. -EK

You are totally clueless! You are! If Bush is so great how come only 1 team made him an offer and it was for average money? I will wait for that answer. Someone so great should have had teams knocking down his door. He didn't.

Please, Miller had 7 carries today (total 9 rushing attempts for RB's combined) the Fins didn't try to run the ball. They have the worst o-line in the NFL...........NO RB will have success behind this group especially when the coaches bail on the running game in the 1st quarter.

And NOBODY EVER SAID Miller is an upgrade over Bush. But when you rebuild you rebuild around young, cheaper, and more upside players who will be around longer. Not older players who want big money. Miami is rebuilding, you don't rebuild around an OLDER RB!

[EKnight]

That's right. I forgot- you rebuild around a WR whose numbers have steadily declined for two years and who wants more money than he could possibly be worth. -EK

You are one heck of a troll. Every post is either...

Like a broken record. Why aren't you watching your Panthers play now? Rather be here TROLLING this site instead of watching your "favorite team play".....says a lot about you!

[EKnight]

Because, yeah- there's no way I could be doing two things simultaneously.

While I'm "trolling" building threads around those things, you're fairly consistent, interjecting in conversations that have nothing to do with you at all, simply to cause conflict with me. -EK

Weren't you the one when asked why you post here said...."It's a public forum". Well its a public forum and I will interject when and where I want!

Very mature! Your panties really are all in a war after this loss aren't they? Is it because they lost, because Wallace blew a deep ball again this week, or because I called it that you're so pissy?  -EK

Not pissy at all just sick of you and your "act" on this board. See I show up and post whether the Fins win or lose. UNLIKE YOU as when Miami wins you go run and hide for weeks on end so you don't have to face the music!

[EKnight]

What music? I don't care if they win, lose, or draw. I have no emotional stake in them. YOU are the one who gets all worked up EVERY time someone disparages one of "your guys." Amazing that you can just rip apart players you don't like without the same standards applied. -EK

Rip apart whoever you want. But be fair about it and have it make sense. Which you fail to do.

And you say you don't care but you magically disappear from this site when the Dolphins win. Hmm, odd

So, why are you here? If you don't care one bit about the Dolphins, and 99% of the folks on this board consider you to be an argumentative blowhard troll (I'm giving you that 1% out of the kindness of my heart, on the off-chance that there is someone lurking who thinks differently), why even visit this site? Why not hang out on a Panthers board? Are you unwelcome among your fellow Carolina fans?

Seriously...what is your motivation?
