Comment: They have to be encouraged by what they saw out of Chad Henne against the Patriots. Now the defense has to learn to cover the tight ends.

[SIZE=+0]The good news is that Chad Henne looked like a legit NFL starting quarterback against New England. He just picked the wrong night to throw for a career-best 416 yards, more than 100 fewer than New England's Tom Brady. But that Dolphins defense was almost nonexistent at times, and that doesn't bode well for Sunday's home date against the multi-faceted attack the Houston Texans present.

Comment: Chad Henne played better than expected, and Reggie Bush started to silence some of his critics. But the defense didn't live up to its billing as this team's strong suit. And the "D" doesn't get a break with the Texans coming to town.

Monday night's game went as expected. The Patriots were very, very good and the Dolphins weren't awful. That's about what I expected out of this team.

(From Patriots Rankings comments)
1. Tom Brady and Chad Henne combined to throw for a single-game NFL record of 906 net yards. I'd fully expect Brady to be involved in a record like this, but Henne? Well, Henne actually played pretty well considering how terrible his offensive line was (Richie Incognito seemingly had a billion holds); he was accurate for the most part and showed good command of the offense. He also proved himself as a capable scrambler (59 rushing yards). Henne is so inconsistent, and it's very possible he could regress next week (he was nearly picked off twice, including once in the end zone), but this was definitely a positive sign for Miami.

I already discussed the Patriots-Dolphins game, so here are more Notes from NFL.com GameCenter:
1. "rex is giving sanchiz a foot massage"
Not that there's anything wrong with that.
2. "man dont go in the sand diego radiers room they will ban u"
I wonder how many people are Sand Diego Raiders fans.
3. "Did anyone forget who won the suerbowl last year? cause im afraid alot have, the NEW ORLEAN SAINTS!"
I can't wait until the Sand Diego Raiders and New Orlean Saints play each other
