Don't feel dissed ...

[chriscarter]

It's ok to feel disrespected right now. After all, we've beaten some of the best teams in the AFC. But say we beat Seattle and Oakland (which we should), don't take it as a spite to the Fins if we're still not getting a ton of attention.

Sure, six wins through 10 games is pretty great. But the fact is, even if we win both of those games (like I said, we should), we have to win when we're acually in the thick of the race. ... That will come when at 6-4 and we play the Pats at home. If we win that game, then no one can say that we're not a legit team.

A lot of people right now see the Fins as a novelty, what with the Wildcat offense and such. But those people don't watch the games. They see the highlights and think, "Huh, look at Ted Ginn, it's about time.' 'Huh, look at Joey Porter, it's about time.' 'Huh, Chad Pennington; ... What's the Wildcat??' 'Huh, look at the Dolphins.'"

They don't watch every play and see Camarillo taking off; they don't see Davone Bess; they don't see Matt Roth; they don't see Randy Starks; they don't see Dan Carpenter, etc., etc., etc.

But my point is, don't take it as disrespect that we're not being talked about all the time. Hell, I kind of like flying under the radar. Who gives a damn if people think we're good? If we're good enough to make the playoffs, then we'll get there.

I don't KNOW that we're gonna make the playoffs. I don't KNOW if we'll finish with a winning record. Hell, I don't even KNOW if we'll win one more game. But I've watched 99 of the last 100 Fins games (I missed when Chambers dominated to help bring us back against Buffalo in '05, forgive me), and not once did I give damn what people say about us. ...

Let them be wrong.

We're not in the thick of the race right now?

According to NFL.com we are 9th in the playoff rankings only % points behind Indy because of conference record. But who cares this team is getting better each passing day. "experts" can say what they want but BP JI and Sparano know how good this team is gonna be.

We have beaten 4 talent leaden highly respected teams in the AFC. And the best part is we havent even gotten close to this teams ceiling. I can see Ginn going for 1200 and 9 td's one day i can see Ronnie going for 1500+...once this team "clicks" GAME ON..the NFL WILL BOW DOWN

i have never been more proud of this team in my life... the work ethic and sense of pride that bill and tony have instilled in this lunch pail crew makes me feel like im as much a part of the team as they are. when i see guys like andre goodman playing shutdown ball and guys like greg camarillo taking the big hit to make a meaningless first down i cant help but smile... go phins baby!!!

Man..... everyone saying "We should win this and we should win that" is starting to scare me a little bit. Kind of like counting your money before you even get your check. Not good. One game at a time. One game at a time.

You know, I was thinking this morning about how we still don't get emough respect through media attention, but I began to also think that it may be alot better that way.

Why? because I have noticed that wehn you get alot of media attention and you become a media whore, people began to dislike you. Look at what's happening to the cowboys. They are not america's team, beleive that.

Weather we make the playoffs or not, I couldn't be more proud of this team. To see how much they improve week to week is amazing.

I look back at our secondary against Houston and Baltimore. Poof! The next two games they're shutting down the opposition's offense. It's ridiculous.

I like it when we win. It make waking up every morning a lot better.
