I'm a life long Dolphin fan since '71. The only thing more frustrating than being a Dolphins fan is a Red Sox fan and I been pulling for the Sox for an equal amount of time.
Football is as much about attitude as it is about skill and coaching. Miami doesn't have the attitude to be a SB contender. The comment "see ya after practise" just shows a team that lacks the attitude and determination to play the game. I have said I was going to quit pulling for Miami time after time and yet I keep coming back. After the disaster at NE and the new "attitude" of this team coming into this season and to come out and lay an egg against Houston like they did, I think it's over.
Miami looks prime for a butt kicking this weekend. I couldn't hate two teams anymore than the Jets or the Yankess. But, they have attitude. So do the Bills. The Jets coaches are probably the worst in the league. But, they beat Miami every year. With the exception of last year, the Jets have gotten fat and healthy off Miami. Even the year the Jets went 500, they got two wins off Miami. They should have been 6 and 8. But Miami bends over to teams with attitude. Miami goes to the play-offs with an 11 and 5 record instead of 13-3 and I know they are candy asses and have as much chance as winning a SB as a fart in a hurricane.
The Jets and the Bills will stick it right up Miami's rear end this year. I would like to think this was just a blip on a road to success but I know it isn't. Living in NC I was only able to see one Miami pre-season game. I saw enough in the game against Atlanta in the first quarter to have predicted this. Their starting o-line sucked in that game and they sucked even worse Sunday. I won't beat up the defense as badily. When you have an offence that goes three and out time and time again and forks over the ball left and right you are going to fold sooner or later.
If Miami doesn't go up to NY and beat the Jets soundly, they'll be lucky to finish 500 ball. Marino and Prime Time look kind of stupid predicting the fins in the SB just before the game. How do you recover from a game like this when you already have a poor attitude.
