Comment:
At 0-2, with two homes losses, they are in big trouble. They had their chances against Houston, but blew too many scoring chances

Dan Carpenter needs to be better on FGs, and the red zone offense needs direction.

Comment:
[SIZE=+0]At least the Dolphins are getting out of Miami, where nothing much good has happened for them since Dan Marino called it a career. Maybe the trip to Cleveland will be galvanizing in that us-against-the-world way that pro athletes love to cling to. On a side note, it didn't take long for the Dolphins to figure out Reggie Bush isn't an every-down back, now did it?


FoxSports Rank: 26 (-1)

Comment: Not sure where they go from here. At least last week, Chad Henne appeared to give them some hope. That disappeared against the Texans. Rookie RB Daniel Thomas was a bright spot, but they will need more than that on their upcoming three-game road trip.

It's getting ugly in South Florida. At least they don't have to play at home again until the third week of October.

Comment:
One of the announcers on the CBS broadcast team had the following to say about the crowd at the Dolphins-Texans game:

It's so hot on the field that there are more fans on the sidelines than there are in the seats!

Guess all of this B-list celebs aren't selling tickets, eh? Somewhere out there, Celebrity Man just had a stroke reading that comment.

i think if we lose to Cleveland those rankings will be justified..

 

[SirDrums]

well, at the beginning of the season I was hoping that the fins could find their way into the teens and stay there for a change but alas. We are once again flirting with the bottom of the list.

Even if we start winning its going to be a long trip up from this point.

 

[ROADRUNNER]

Man we suck right now, but we will get better.

I'm surprised we're not lower than 27. We should be.

 

[SirDrums]

I think 25 is about right. Though I do not think the browns are better than us. I will be suprised if we lose that game. Just call it a feeling.

 

[MarshallFin1]

put us up there at 31 and im satisfied.
