“Ronnie Brown rammed a fist into the collective ass of the New England Patriots and turned them into his own personal hand puppet to the tune of 113 rushing yards, 4 touchdowns, 19 passing yards, and 1 passing touchdown.”

I love this guy.

I agree with you bout maybe a .500 team Matty I. not thinking we have a playoff team here, but that real d@mn impressive to go up to New England and blow out the Pats the way we did with the talent we have.

Not so angry bout the bye week. I/we suffered along time last year waiting for our 1st victory and watching the Pats go undefeated all the way to the SB. I’ll take these next 2 weeks of bragging happily.

Exactly who is this hoe Matty and does she live in New England, ha ha!

coaching, coaching coaching
This just goes to show how crucial good coaching is and the neccessity to be creative.
I’ve been complaining a lot about them but I’ll shut up for 2 weeks and hopefully longer.
I think Ronnie had a little payback for the team that blew out his knee last year, hey guys I’m back and I’m 100%. I’m also really happy to see this team playing well against the division teams again, especially after the end of last year, when we were so weak against them.

That, Int on the pats first drive was key. It not only stop them from scoring but also pump us up and help get us the lead first which if key for this young team - Kudos Randy Starks!

Ronnie’s second TD, when he destroyed Ellis Hobbs at the goalline instead of just stepping past him for the easy score. Set the tone for the rest of the game. Ronnie basically let the entire league know we won’t be a pushover like last year, we’re not soft, and we will punch you in the mouth. Poor Ellis. That was a year of rehab’s worth of frustration let out in one hit, and I was shocked that Hobbs didn’t crumble like a week-old cookie.

Everybody chip in for gas.. I’m starting up the Ronnie Brown Comeback Player of the Year Bandwagon, and I’m hitching up the Ronnie Brown Pro Bowl Starter Bandwagon behind it! All Aboard!

Change the name of that formation.. There was a few really good suggestions in another fanpost, and Wildcat is so.. not Dolphins.

Favorite one is Wild Porpoise, I could just see Sparano screaming into his headset to run Wild Porpoise. I may never stop laughing if that happens.

Matty, your the official Dolphin blogger guy, make it happen!

And I’m happy to go into the bye week right now, at 1-2, after a HUGE win. I think this is the best thing the team could ask for, momentum-wise. You’ve got the whole league looking at the Fins going “shhhheeeeeit, who are THESE guys”, and you better believe that the “wildcat” formation isn’t going to fool anyone that easily again. I think it is still usable, because I think they only ran about a third of the actual plays that are designed to be run from that formation, but still, the coaching staff needs some time to regroup and come up with some new stuff.
I also think it gives the guys a chance to practice with a different mentality for almost two weeks, and that should produce positive results.

This was the first time in a LONG time both my boys actually sat down to watch a game with me. Usually, lately, everyone mysteriously has somewhere to go when the Fins play. But today, my wife was laughing at me, instead of hollering at me to quit cussing.
Today was a great day. :)

Wasgreat out there. There was an early play which I saw Richard Seymour bounced off of him, backwards. Everytime we needed a key 3 yards, we went off of that left side and that was nice to see. I just can’t get over Ronnie Brown. He is in tremendous condition he obviously put in some serious work in the off season.

The refs still got their money from Kraft. The Roughing call on Holliday wad BS. I love the fact that all of the old Pats got to watch the show. I loved Ronnie, but another important fact was Ricky killing the clock. I loved watching Ricky pounding them the whole 4th quarter. Our O-lone has so much potential. The Dolphins with a leas running out the clock. . .what a wonderful (and strange) scene!

My Patriots were outcoached and outplayed, bottom line. The Wildcat looked like the kind of gadget play we used back in the OC Charlie Weis days – very creative and effective. In my estimation, Cassel didn’t do a great job, but the real blame is on the NE defense. It was a total collapse. And now the bye week…

It happens, that’s what makes football a great game.

i woke up…..and it was real!!! it wasnt a dream.

lol…come to my house and sack me.

Does anyone think that the past two weeks training has been building towards this weeks game?
You think about what the coach said in pre-season that there are times when you want to concentrate your plays for the next opponent, mainly because you think you have a better chance (kind of paraphrasing there).
But Patriots without Brady and where the VP knows the coach inside out and upside down, don’t think that they would have looked at this and thought it was more winable than the cardinals.
Now another two weeks to prepare for the chargers, bring it on!

Matty, I think with the performances that Pennington, Brown, Porter, Long and the Phins secondary put up, Fasano’s contributions are getting overlooked: he had three GREAT receptions for 66 yards and a TD (from Ronnie no less!), and I’m sure he must have given the Pats defense coordinator fits and caused the defense to focus more on a “lowly” tight end than necessary.

GO PHINS!!!

teams have figured out that the way to play the Pats is extremely physical
Day be gettin old!

If we can do the same thing to the Bills playing at home in Miami in October. Everytime I think of the Bills I remember Brian Cox walking onto the field in Buffalo with the middle finger on both outstreched arms, letting them all know that they could go “F” themselves….. That was such a great rivalry moment ! To this day I still love Cox for doing that…That took some balls !

I think I need to go to work, screw it. I’m calling in, watching the Dolphin’s shortcut on Sunday Ticket, and having a rum & coke. Speaking of video highlights, how different is it when Bellicheat sees a formation that he has never seen before and that they have no pregame warm-up video to study at halftime. Where was the “genius?”

mention Ricky’s 98 yards. Not bad and I am sure his presence on the field with Ronnie certainly may have helped.

One thing pissing me off today is the abundance of headlines that read the Patriots got beat by the “lowly Dolphins.” Or the prognosticators who suggest that New England lost the game moreso than Miami won it, as if they’d just awareded the points to Miami without their having to put in any work or effort.
New England is old and missing Brady. The Colts are dangling on a thread. The Chargers are potent but can’t close. The Jaguars are lucky to have one win. The Steelers can’t protect Big Ben. The Browns flat out suck. The AFC is WIDE OPEN right now. The Titans and Bills look decent, but there’s a lot of opportunity for a team – ANY TEAM – even the “lowly” Dolphins to get in the playoffs this year.
Miami certainly needs to earn respect. But What bothers me is when they get a great victory, they seem to find disrespect. I hope today’s headlines are on the bulletin board all next week.
Because I think these Dolphins are better than a lot of “experts” give them credit for. I can’t wait to see backpedalling condescension that’ll be coming Miami’s way come week 11 or so.

this season has (more) victory (than last year) written all over it.
