AFC East Review - Miami Dolphins Only Team in Division To Lose

This is a tough divison. We got to win next week, because the Jets and Bills look like they SHOULD win.

It will be tough to beat Houston, but I know if the Phins play like a team and communicate well, we can win any game.

Impressive display of stats MDF. Great work.

but I think our D is pretty PO’d.

I think they’re going to play Houston, obviously with a chip on their shoulders. I predict the D will let us beat Houston by double digits.

I’m a die hard Dolphin fan, so this is hard to read. I feel no animosity towards the Patriots because they are simply an awesome team. The Bills are perpetually bad, so they can do well every now and then and deserve it.

What I can’t stand is the Jets. It’s not even that they are a good team, which they are. Their defense is legitimately dominant, they’ve got some good receivers. What I cannot stand is the way the media and public wants to jerk off Mark Sanchez. I swear if you asked ESPN, they’d probably rate the top tier of QBs as Tom, Peyton (pre-injury), Rodgers, Brees and Sanchez. Bullshit. Look at all the metrics, the guy is a bum. Henne beats him in most categories, yet Henne is shunned and Sanchez is celebrated.

One of the things I truly hate in life is people getting/taking credit when it isn’t deserved. Not sure why, but it is really the only thing that pisses me off. The bad thing is he seems like a nice kid, and I’m sure if you were just sitting next to him on a plane, you’d have a great conversation. But I hope he fails just to shove it up the media’s ass.

And have come to the conclusion that we have 0 depth behind our starters apart from at d-line where we have 5-6 guys who could be starters. This frightens me, we have too many wait-and-see development guys like Carroll, Jerry, Thomas and even Jones to an extent.

Pats was clearly the favorite team to win de division…

But I’m not gone a bid who will be the second… looks like Fitzpatrick could have a brakedown season like Henne, and have very good receivers too, and CJ Spinner give the kind of dimension on his game plan like Bush or us.

And Jets… well… the could have some pact with the devil or something… this kind of Luck was un-natural!!!!

and that you can’t go deep into the playoffs without a franchise QB. Should we be upset that we lost one game out of 16 to a 14-2 team with a first ballot HoF QB when we were outschemed on defense and they took advantage of our defense’s youth? Add to that Brady had to put up record numbers to beat us. We got embarrassed the first game of the season by being out of shape and I believe our guys are going to be driven the rest of the season. They know we have a QB that can hang with just about any QB in the league if they do their job on defense. Expect the defense to come out hungry against the Texans. Benny Sapp is out, Will Allen is in. Our O-line (that we were all worried about) was not all that bad. Any time you can put up 416 yds of passing you are doing something right. We were one-dimensional most of the game, but Bush was running hard between the tackles when we gave it to him. If we can get Larry Johnson involved as a change of pace back we will be unstoppable. If we run LJ on the goaline a few times instead of hoping that we can complete a low percentage pass, the game looks a lot different. I love that they trusted Henne to make that play though, and I am sure he will this season. No one expected us to win that game, but we showed some nice things that game.
     Henne only threw one interception in the game and that was in garbage time on a deflected pass that he was trying to force in to coverage to put us into a position to win that game despite all the woes on defense. Can you honestly tell me that you would have thoguht that Henne had a chance to be in the record books in week 1 of the season? I know I was not expecting that.

It was a mistake to let him go in the first place. We have been better than the Texans every season that we have faced them, yet we have always found ways to get behind early and lose. This week will be different. I dont believe that the Texans O-Line can embarrass us like the the Pats did. I dont believe the Schaub is as amazing an opportunistic as Brady. We can beat them, and we should.

We can beat the Patriots next time we face them. We lost one game during a shortened off-season season. Patriots are a well tuned machine, but we have the potential put kinks in their well tuned machine. I truly believe that we have a 12 win team here guys. We just need to start playing like one.

I would like to apply for the water boy position down below…. I see some of my peers getting hired in different positions and thought that i could be a assistance in keeping this blog hydrated.
