Dolphins Rank: 17(-4)

Comment: After two divisional home losses, the Dolphins seem like a lock for third place.

Dolphins Rank: 20 (-2)

Comment: Their fast start is in danger of being wasted. Now they come off the bye with a tough road game at Green Bay. They might get a break and not have to face Aaron Rodgers.

Dolphins Rank: 18 (-)

Comment:Not only are the Dolphins getting the good fortune of a trip to Green Bay when the Packers are absolutely decimated by injuries, but also it has been a really mild, Indian summer-type of autumn so far in Wisconsin. So no need to pack the long-sleeve undershirts this weekend, Sparano-men.

Dolphins Rank: 20 (-3)

Comment: I still say that Chad Henne is going to be a very good quarterback despite his mental errors during Miami's brutal loss to the Patriots. And Henne still needs to develop better chemistry with WR Brandon Marshall. Their defense might have an emerging big-time player in OLB Cameron Wake.

Dolphins Rank: 17 (+2)

Comment:Enjoy a bye week and move up two spots in the rankings. Huzzah. Miami's place in this division looks pretty clear: better than Buffalo, not quite as good as the Patriots (at least pre-Moss trade) and the Jets. We'll see if they can prove that wrong.

Dolphins Rank: 12 (-)

Comment:
After back-to-back wins over Minnesota and Buffalo to start the season, the Miami Dolphins have dropped two straight at home to the Jets and Patriots to fall to 2-2 on the year.
Chad Henne has been sacked nine times and the Dolphins don't have much of a run game to speak of.

Dolphins Rank: 17 (+13)

Comment: The Dolphins have had a week to regroup. Was their fast start all for nothing?

Comment:With a new special teams coordinator and two weeks to think about their embarrassing performance on a national stage, let’s see how Chad Henne and the Dolphins respond in Week 6.

Comment:The Dolphins got a Bye Week to get used to their new special teams coach. Miami had a lot more problems than just the special teams crew in their embarrassing loss to the Patriots, however.

Sorry About missing last week. I was Out of town.

Sure is humbling that we where ranked 9 two weeks ago and have droped to 17. Unless we win big the next few weeks its going to be a slow climb back up.

 

[Drubatuba]

Wow. All because of bad special teams play. what a joke...

 

[IronChef]

Ouch!

 

[dolpns13]

i honestly thought we would get more negativity

 

[SirDrums]

i honestly thought we would get more negativity

me too. I guess we have showed some potentail at the begining of the year but on the other hand.. falling to 17 is pretty negative on its own.

Yeah... I heard we looked much better last week than we did the week before...even though we didn't even play.

 

[Ricky_Fan34]

I love being the team that everyone forgets about and that teams just open up a can of whoop ***, and then everyone says it's a fluke. I hope we do that to Green Bay this week.

funny...


but I agree with you.

 

[PhinsPhan11]

I don't think these rankings are too bad. This is about the place we should be.

 

[SirDrums]

I have a feeling that even if we win we wont go up much. alot of the articals I have been reading are talking about the depleted GB roster.
