In a battle of two miserable teams from last year, the Fins managed to lose to the Skins. It was rather ugly on both sides of the ball, but Miami won in terms of dropped passes on third down, and exhausted D in the latter portions of the game.
The offensive line woes of the Fins are still glaring. The current group just can’t run block. Pass blocking is a bit better…but not by much.
At least there is hope for the future. This year will be a struggle, but a few key players and they could actually make a run for the playoffs next year. I still have my insane view that they will make it to the Super Bowl this year (they haven’t been eliminated from the playoffs yet), but in reality I hope they can get eight wins. It won’t be easy..especially since I was hoping the Skins would be one.
The Fins have lots of new faces from the coach to the punt returner…and everything in between. They can’t get any worse than right now…winless. Fifteen games to go. Maybe fifteen wins.
PS. On a side note, I think the locals are all happy in hoo-ville, since UVA managed to beat the football powerhouse of Duke…the team that hasn’t won a game in three years. Of course it was a nail biter in the 4th quarter…
