9. Miami (3-3). So here’s my surprise, Miami at number nine. Why? Well, the Dolphins have scored 82 points in the two Dan Campbell-coached games, and they’ve sacked the quarterback 10 times in those games (versus one sack in the first four). That’s just the start. The team is alive. The team is reborn. It’s cool to see. The Thursday-nighter in Foxboro will tell the tale of whether all the new goodness means anything.

The way American television networks judge an audience for a game is by something called “minute ratings,” which measure the ratings of a telecast minute by minute over the course of the entire game. The ratings bodies take the total number of minutes of the game—say, 180 minutes for a three-hour game—and divide that by the number of viewers minute-by-minute. That’s a good measure of who watched the game, and for how long.
In the U.S., Sports Business Journal reported, the “minute rating” for Bills-Jaguars was 1.64 million viewers, though that does not include the over-the-air TV rating of viewers from Buffalo and Jacksonville markets, which got the game on local network affiliates, the only markets to be able to see the game on home television.
The previous Sunday morning London game this season—Dolphins vs. Jets in Week 4—dwarfed the rating of Sunday’s game. According to Nielsen, that game had 9.86 million viewers.
And not to confuse you … but comparing a game broadcast on television in the No. 1 and No. 16 markets in the country—New York and South Florida (total TV households: 9.03 million)—to a game on the internet between two struggling teams in the No. 47 and No. 53 markets—Jacksonville and Buffalo (1.25 million households)—is fraught with inequities, to put it mildly. Suffice it to say, a game on TV in 9 million TV households should crush a game streamed on computers between two of the NFL’s bottom four markets.

It's amazing watching the national media jumping all over our bandwagon this week. When's the last time that's happened?!? (in a POSITIVE sense :lol:)
 
Yikes! 9? Might be a little to high to soon. Now had that been the ranking after kick the Patriots butt then absolutely. But after wins over the Titans and Texans? 14-18 seems more appropriate.
 
Now that we have their attention, hopefully we can blast the Patriots.
 
If the Dolphins beat the Pats in their house people are going to lose their minds. The league might come in and start drug testing Dolphins players and probably even the head coach. lol
 
As a week to week rolling snapshot, it's about right, IMO.

We'll either be top three or not listed next week, most likely.
 
Seriously, if we just win everyone is going to be talking about us non stop. If we beat them handily, it'll be chaos.

I hope we don't jump ship here if we don't win. Let's remember where we were just 3 short weeks ago. Stay strong FinHeaven!!

The won't find anything in Dan Cambell's pee. That man pisses excellence.

It is odd seeing the media hype. Hope the players aren't buying into it.

Trust me, if Baddell had a chance, Miami would pay dearly for the Patriots' sins.

I hope the players don't buy into it! In the past when we've gotten positive attention on a major basis (Vs Denver last year anyone? ) we end playing horrible and/or losing. But this is a new team and hopefully coach Campbell has the cure like he did for the Texans curse

I haven't wanted the dolphins to win this bad in a long time! Go fins
