Guys, they are showing the week one game and not the week 17 game because the network theme of the day is week one. Its not that hard to figure out or some conspiracy to hate the dolphins.
I watched it. Was kind of cool to relive the feel of the start of the season and compare it to how it ended. Couple of things that I had forgotten about that game:
- Our O line was terrible. We must have given up 6 sacks with at least 3 of them being unblocked sprints right through our QB. Maybe our O line had was lacking last year but we REALLY improved from week 1.
- Chad played great. It reminded me of how that game started to give me faith in the guy. Even with bad pass blocking he moved the ball in crunch time. They also had a good shot of him firing up the the offense when they all looked defeated in the 4th quarter, and then went out and scored a TD and almost a second in the last 6 minutes. This was IMo the first time you could actually feel a difference from the 1-15 season. Watching the offense and defense respond late in the game.
- The stadium wasn't even half full. Our damn home opener against a devision rival and we barely got a cheering section. And every time the camera showed the crowd it was someone in a green #4 shirt. I know we are all loyal fans but our fanbase was kind of lacking before we started winning again.
