i dont care if we win by 1 or 21, a win is a win, and at this point in the season to be playing meaningful football….just amazing. How far we have come in just 1 short year…i hope ALL dolfans appreciate that, and let’s not all get caught up in the late-season ‘hype’ so much that it ruins this amazing season.

Going into the 2006 baseball playoffs, the St. Louis Cardinals had a weak record and a very uninspired finish to the regular season. However, once they were in the playoffs, they adopted the motto “Why not us?” Everybody had written them off as a first-round loser…everybody except the Cardinals themselves. They may have been short on talent, but they were big on heart, guts, and creative coaching. They figured that as long as they had Albert Pujols with a bat and Chris Carpenter on the mound, then anything could happen in a short series.

Well, “Why not us” the 2008 version is upon us. As long as we have Ronnie Brown in the backfield and Joey Porter wreaking havoc on defense, then we have a shot in every game we play. As long as Sparano and Henning keep mixing it up on offense, then we can keep the other teams on their heels. This team has already exceeded my expectations. As the post says, we can already label this season a “100% success”.

However, as long as we’re here, with a winning record, controlling our own destiny, and a favorable schedule…well…

Why not us?

Go Dolphins.

all December long!!!!

Gotta like the sound of that! but one at a time for now…still a long way to go….and give it time, soon the media will have no choice but to talk about us.. but hey, we have to earn it first.. and yes, we’ve come from 1-15 and most would think thats good enough but for now, we’re an afterthought until we prove otherwise and actually make it into the show… It’s going to be a great finish though!

Playoffs are in the cards for us this season.

Can you imagine? worst to first baby! WORST TO FIRST!!!

GO DOLPHINS.

But luck does have something to do with it. Yeah we’ve improved, but we’ve gotten a lot of the breaks we didn’t get last year. It might only be worth one win, maybe more, but it’s important. Almost every time something needed to go our way this year it did. And that’s awesome, and we deserve it.

And I know that the players playing hard creates most of that luck, but you can’t make a qb throw a terrible pass instead of taking a sack, same as you can’t determine when a ref blows a call, or you can’t predict that a team’s star qb will go down for the season 5 minutes into it leaving the division wide open, you even can’t force your rivals to throw away a great QB like a piece of trash. It’s just luck whether it goes for you or against you, and this year lady luck has been pulling for us, big time. I mean, I’ve never known a team as injury free as this one, even if that’s starting to change in the last couple of weeks.

Also, we’ve really only lost one game this year that we can look back on and say, ‘damn, we should have had that one.’ Some people might say we should have beaten the Jets, but neither team was great that day, we started our season slow. The Houston game is the only one that got away. Last year we had tons of games that hinged on a play and went the other way. We were the best 1-15 team in history, lol. The Lions this year are totally diferent, they get blown out every week. But for us this year it’s so different – no regrets. Look at the Chargers. They’re having the kind of year this year we did last year, and man does it hurt. For us it started with the close loss to the Redskins to open the year and then the injuries piled up, for them it was Merriman’s injury followed by Hochuli’s blown call. Once you start down that cursed slope it’s hard to reverse.

Anyway, my Christmas wish is Jets-Fins, week 17, moved to primetime, winner takes the division title, loser goes home. That’s my dream. No reason it can’t happen. We’ve saved up a lot of bs losses against them – it’s time for revenge. Time to take their ridiculous Favre based dreams and blow them up in front of their own fans with a blowout win, actually ending their franchise once and for all on the spot and leaving the Giants as rightful owners of New York football. Damn, I’m totally rambling here… but it’s such a beautiful dream.

you have 3 kinds of teams. The lower tier are teams (like us last year) that can’t get of their own way. Against good teams, they get blown out, or hang around just long enough to blow it. Against mediocre teams, they can pull out a win, but more than likely make too many mistakes.

Then there’s the middle tier. I think that’s where we are right now. We struggle against the good teams when they play well, but if they are making mistakes, or we are on our game, we can get the victory. Against the lower tier teams, we let them stay close, but we are now doing just enough to win.

Finally, the top tier. The elite teams. They blow people out, rarely ever lose to lower tier teams, and as long as they are playing well, they’re incredibly hard to beat. This is where we’ll be in the very near future. The good news is that a year after being below low tier, we’re now in the middle tier and moving up.

My favorite thing about Sparano is he’s no BS, even to the media. He doesn’t just Coachspeak his way around questions. He answers candidly, and lets everybody know how he feels. I imagine he’s like that with the team as well, and that will translate into a great relationship with his players.

CAN I?

HOLY FUCK BALLS THIS IS FUN!

STICK OUR DOLPHINS PIPE UP UR ASS AND SMOKE IT NFL….WHO’S LAUGHING NOW BITCHES

OK IM DONE.

regarding the “outside South Florida media” it just seems there is always an add on to a good news Dolphin story or there is always a better one doesn’t it?
Its either gimmicks that get the win, or another teams turnovers that allowed us a win and even looking past what a fantastic turnaround this has been. All I hear about is how wonderful Atlanta’s turnaround has gone. They only have one more win than us, and they had 3 more wins than the Dolphins last year…………………wha? lol, its kinda funny.

  In time they’ll have their little beedy eyes all wide to whats going on. In a way, its nice being “quiet” in the media. Let the team focus on getting better, soon we’ll be making plenty of headlines.

Miracle 2: The Dolphins Story

it has Disney written all over it :)

Bengals WR T.J. Houshmandzadeh said he doesn’t want to blame the bad season on injuries: "Everybody has injuries. We just have a big one in Carson. But New England has a big one in Tom Brady, and they are going to go to the playoffs."

O the New England Patriots are going to the playoffs huh? This is news to me.
