Anyone who has been reading the Dolphin news knows this team believes they are better than a 3-5 team. Coach Sporano believes they are a good team close to being a really good team. I know some fans here believe this Miami team is above their 3-5 record and a few plays away from being at least 5-3 with impressive wins over the NFL's best teams.
So if this is the case, if this team is better than that, they need to show it today by not just winning, but by winning in a commanding performance.
They are at home, they have just come off one of their best practices in two years according to Sporano, and they are facing the end of their season if they lose. A loss here today puts them four games out of first against New England, and makes a Wild Card all but a fleeting, desperation hope, if even that.
Tampa Bay is a pro team just like the rest, their re-energized with their first win of the season, and they are playing with nothing to lose. But they are a team in year one of rebuilding, with a rookie head coach, and a rookie QB making his second start, and first on the road. They have weaknesses and Miami needs to exploit them today.
I believe Miami will win today, but I believe how they win will tell us a lot about this team for the next three weeks.
