Everyone Being So Positive..

Well a lot of people still think we will win the division this year.  It is great to be optimistic but there comes a point when you can't get to far ahead of yourself.  Now I want my team to win of course but it would not matter if we had the easiest schedule this year.  Look at the way we have played the last two games.

In Atlanta we turned the ball over to much and our defense was forced to help us win but our offense couldn't get it going.  Then last week we did so good on offense and the colts only had the ball for a total of one quarter and our defense couldn't even stop the offense.  We had poor play on defense when it came to tackling and defending TE's.  Now we are going up against Rivers and Gates.  I believe we can put up a lot of points but the problem is we had a short week and have to travel out west.  Our defense can not cover TE's and I am sure San Diego will expose this weakness.  We are playing in a tough division and while every team will have more than two losses we are playing bad on one side of the ball or another.  I want us to win and I do believe we can win some games this year but our defense has to step it up and I don't see that happening today.  Another thing that is getting me is that all you fans that are saying we will win the division and all this are the ones getting upset and blaming CP10 and bad decisions.  While I expected to have some better decisions last weeks loss came to the defense not being able to hold the Colts Offense at all.  Teddy could have had that ball but remember he made a lot of clutch catches.  We wouldn't be in that predicament if our defense can get one stop or two.  I expected our team to be 9-7 this year but I thought we would beat Atlanta and the Colts.  We still have a chance though and I haven't lost faith.  But inless our defense steps it up we aren't going to win this game because we are not built to outscore teams.  We control the clock and stop the other team from scoring.  Neither Porter or Taylor have shown up much this year and we couldn't even stop Indy's running game Monday Night which is what we do.  The Jets are for real even though I think the Titans will beat them and the Patriots will at least make it as a Wild Card team.  Buffalo and their No Huddle offense is working and Trent Edwards is doing what he has to do.  It is a tough division and predicting the Dolphins will win the division this early is being too optimistic. 

Another thing is CP10 still gives us the best chance to win.  I read that he is the last reason we did so good last year.  My opinion is that if Chad Henne was in last year we would have had a considerable amount of turnovers compared to having CP10 in there.  We won a lot of games because of not turning the ball over.  If we lose today though I say we give Henne some real experience and start him.  0-3 is to hard for this team to overcome.  We haven't lost one in our division yet and one was non conference so that is good, but if we don't win today then we might as well start giving the future some practice now.  Just my take so everyone enjoy the game and lets hope our defense can step it up and we control the clock like last week.  Enjoy and Phins all the way.
