Get ready for a week of this from the "pundits":

Which 3-0 team is most likely to pick up its first loss? Duh, the Phins.

Which 3-0 team is a pretender? Phins.

Which 3-0 team is getting the best QB play? Not the Phins.

Which 3-0 team is most likely to not win its division? Phins.

Which 3-0 team is for real? Not the Phins.

Which 3-0 team has the highest chance of not making the playoffs? Phins.

Which 3-0 team doesn't deserve to be 3-0? Phins.

Which 3-0 team has had the easiest schedule? Phins.

Which 3-0 team has had the most luck? Phins.

Which 3-0 team has a shot at the SB? Not the Phins.

Which 3-0 team is best coached? Not the Phins.

Which 3-0 team is actually worse than most 2-1 teams? Phins.
 
They could be right; Peter Schrager this morning was laughing about not giving the Phins their due specifically at us fans' request so that the team could continue to win under the radar. It was kind of funny.

Don't forget the trolls/pessimists.
'Poor teams can't win close games.' Miami wins. 'But they BARELY won.'
'GOOD teams can win ugly games.' Miami wins. 'But it was UGLY'
'Good teams get TOs.' Miami gets TOs. 'But they just won because of TOs.'
'Miami will have a REAL test against Oakland.' Miami wins. 'But it was Oakland.'
Winning consistently changes the narrative. 3-0 is a good start, and 1 loss isn't the end. But there's a lot of hx to overcome.
Admission: Immediately after Miami's last two scores, I just KNEW there would be a penalty to call it back. That's how scarred I am
 
I think a lot of people should pay attention to this. If you go back and peruse the game day thread from yesterday...particularly the pages that occurred during the first half....you will get a glimpse of what will happen if the Pats game doesn't start as this one ended. Knee jerk hysteria and cliff jumping. I believe the OP's intent (not putting words in your mouth) was a preemptive approach to the nonsense that would ensue.

Big picture, this team is becoming something special and even sustaining a loss in NE next week shouldn't make this any less true. We won't go undefeated, we are going to lose a game or two that we just look bad and should've won. It's going to happen. These guys are building something sustainable. I would be disappointed too if we look flat next week, but if this week of football has shown us (Minn, GB, NE...etc) it's that one week doesn't define you. Even the greats make mistakes. The difference is that we now have a unit that is responding to the adversity VERY differently. We are on to something boys!!!

Best QB play should go to KC Mahomes.

Best Coached team so far should also go to KC and Andy Reid.

That isn't hate, that's just a perspective backed up by the numbers that offense is putting up while their defense has under a major overhaul.
 
The lack of respect from the media doesn't bother me. We still have years of history to overcome before we should be given the benefit of the doubt. What I tend to be annoyed by is the lazy "journalism" and punditry that goes on during the week to fill all the blogs, columns, websites, TV and radio shows. And we're at a point in the season when it starts to mean something to be undefeated, since there are only 3 teams (4 if the Bucs win tonight) that can claim that feat. So naturally everyone starts taking a close look at those teams and debates stupid stuff....so I just thought I'd spare everyone the suspense of what those debates will look like.

This way we don't need a new thread for every one of them - just post them here. ;)
