Yes we should be 2-2, but now we just have to look forward. We're 1-3, but 2 games out and have a huge divisional game next week and we could be 1 game out of first place going into the bye week.

This was our biggest margin of victory since September 2002. We have one of, if not, THE best running game in the NFL, and we also have an amazing Run Defense. As for the Pass D, Vontae Davis and Sean Smith looked great, imagine how they'll be next year and in the future. JT and Wake played great. With them and Porter we have 3 guys QBs need to worry about. And Gibril Wilson missed another big tackle. Good thing the rest of our defense made up for him.

Henne was solid in his start, wasnt amazing, but he didn't have to be. He didnt make any mistakes. He can throw it down the field too. Don't forget he doesn't have a true #1 WR to throw to either. With the way we are running the ball, he just needs to make some good smart throws and the occasional big one.

Any of you who live near Miami find a way to get tickets to that Jets game. Make it louder then it was against the Colts! (if it could possibly get any louder than that) Is the schedule tough? Yeah, but we usually play well against the Jets/Patriots even when we suck, we always have a chance to beat them. Another team on our schedule who was supposed to be very tought were the Titans, and now they're 0-4. Steelers aren't overly impressive either. Win next week and we're in good shape. I'm more worried about the Texans then the Steelers, Titans and Patriots.[can we please finally beat the Texans this season?] We did dominate the Colts(should have won), so we can beat these teams. The only team that really scares me are the Saints. However, their passing offense struggled against the Bills last week, they relied on their rush in that game. We can stop that rush, we wont go down easy. Go Dolphins!

It'll be an interesting trip this season down that long and winding road...
 
Oh another good one. Anyway, another fun stat- The Dolphins lead the league in 3rd and 4th down conversions. We are Underachievers this season so far, the best 1-3 team in the league. We had the Colts game, and we're better than the Chargers I believe. However we made dumb plays and decisions. Hopefully that has changed though, because underachievers don't make the playoffs.
 
The Falcons beat us because we couldn't block and tackle...we beat ourselves with the Colts..should have won that one. The Chargers beat us because they have better WR's and we couldn't tackle them worth a crap. So yeah, we should probably be 2-2, but I do agree we are underachieving this year. If we can beat the Jets and the Saints it would be HUGE for us.
 
If we beat the Jets and then lose to the Saints, we'll be 2-4. We were 2-4 last year before going on our 8 out of 9 game win streak.

That would shock the NFL. Both teams are powerhouses. Jets defensively, the Saints offensiveley.
 
We have a good chance to win both. As underdogs both. The Jets game is more important though.

Amazingly enough this seems very possible.
 
I really like your point of view....i mean we had like 10 turnover in the ATL game totally should have beaten the colts but alas we did not....charger kinda got us in an odd spot and we whooped on the jills today...

but you are right awesome running attack we should stick with it till someone stops us...although with its success i would like to see more play action.

our d is getting better actually disguising blitzes and getting pressure and give our DB chances to go after the ball....we need to get in Sanchez's face early make him make a few mistakes....everyone loves the jets but their O isnt all that impressive if we can run the ball game on.

as for the saints oh man i hate to do this but that game is entirely on Smith, Davis, Allen, Bell and WORST OF ALL wilson's shoulders...even if we get a good pass rush they will still have to make good plays.

but i do see them both as winnable after today i think our guys know what they need to do and our staff is actually making adjustments and week by week this team moves toward total team efforts lets hope another good week of practice gives Henne some confidence and our D comes ready to whoop some ***
 
Logically we should be 2-2. But that makes it sound like we gave the Colts the game, rather than what actually happened - they stomped a mudhole in our defense and TOOK the game.

Winning the Jets game is HUGE if this team has any desire to play competitive football in the second half of the season. I still think we put ourselves in too much of a hole though, 7-8 wins is likely where this team will end up. Then again i said the same thing last year.
 
Anyone know where our Rush offense stands after today? It may actually be #1 in the NFL. I think 9 wins may be able to get in the playoffs this season, with the way things are going so far.
