THE POTENTIAL MIRAGE
8. Miami Dolphins
And … we're back! Miami's nine creampuff wins aren't any better than New England's nine creampuff wins, but the Dolphins fit the January recipe (defense, ball control, no turnovers) just a shade better. My big question: Do you realize Sunday's cold-weather game in Arrowhead will be their first one of the season? They've played eight in Miami, three in domes and three in warm weather (Arizona and New England in September, then a surprisingly warm one in Denver on Nov. 2). Could that partly explain the Dolphins' absurdly low number of turnovers in 2008? I say yes! I say absolutely! Considering the ruinous history of Florida teams in December and January weather, as well as the sketchy history of QBs with shaky arm strength (that's right, I'm pointing at you, Chad Pennington) in blustery weather, we can't give the Dolphins "sleeper" status until they bang out a victory in bad conditions. How good will you feel about Pennington throwing wobblers to Ted Ginn Jr. and Davone Bass when it's 30 degrees and windy at the Meadowlands in Week 17 with a playoff spot on the line?



creampuff wins? lets go over those



Patriots - i dont care if Cassek was just getting started the phins DOMINATED the patsies and left belicheat with his mouth open(hes used to it) they were still the same defense and sam WR's that were all perennial all world all pros from the season b4

Chargers - miami coming off a 1-15 season beats the 2nd team that played in the AFC championship the previous year....same team minus merrimen still had Rivers who leads the league in TD passes and still has gates and sproles and tomlinson...i dont care how poor a season tonlinson is having to stop him on the 1yard line is almost impossible

Bills (1st time)- they were 5-1 i beleive and the hottest team in football and miami coming off 2 losses beats them convincingly and started the bills downfall
Bills(2nd time) who cares who the bills were at this point to keep any team from scoring a TD and only 3 points in the NFL is very difficult

Rams/49ers- again these were pretty games but to keep a professional NFL football team out of the endzone for 4 quarters isnt cupcake at all thats talent

Seahawks- not an NFL powerhouse but they have been putting up tough fights all season and nearly knocked off the patsies

Broncos- another very impressive win idc how inconsistent they are, they handed it good to the jets and we beat the broncos pretty convincingly when u think they have pro bowlers jay cutler(according to ESPN) brandon marshall and champ bailey playing for them and a dam good coach

Raiders- again they beat the jets that ESPN loves so much, and again no offensive touchdowns aloud
 
I wouldn't worry about a sports writer that's too ignorant to do his research and realize that Bass is Bess..... Wait a minute someone must of changed the teleprompter....."Go Fudge Yourself San Diego!"
 
wat an idiot. he says that r low turnover rate success can be a big part due to the warm weather factor. rlly? lets see some teams who have just as big advantages if not bigger then miami. saints this year will have played at the end of the year 10 dome games, 3 of there road games in carolina , tampa, and washington in september. the bucs get to play most games in warm climates, same can be said for the rest of these dome teams which im not in the mood to mention, but bottom line is there turnover diff isnt even close to as good as ours. just bc u play in warm weather dosent mean that its easy not to turn the ball over. for this idiot to say this is a big part to why the dolphins have the least amount of turnovers is absurd.
 
You can't blame them for betting against us, we won 1 game last year, winning a bunch of close ones this year, and playing with a bunch of overachievers.. We plug someone from the PS into our lineup each week.

In the end somethings got to give, and they pick against Miami becuase we look like the weakest link. Whether or not you want to believe that becuase your a fan is your choice, but you have to understand that people who are not fans, are not going to look at this team as playoff caliber.
 
He thinks we're the eight best team in the league, how exactly is that doubting us? Try as hard as you want to defend our schedule...but it was the easiest schedule in the NFL this year, and all of his questions as to how well we'll hold up in the cold are completely valid if you ask me.
