The Drum Roll:

Sorry for not posting last week as I was off in Gatlinburg getting engaged!

She said yes!:woot:

Here is a pic of the happy couple!:

Anyway...

While in gatlinburg I happened into a Ruby Tuesday that was playing the Phins game. there were about 3 other phin fans in there. We had a great time... besides suffering a loss. Was the first place I have ever been that had viking fans there also.

Well it seems we really are rebuilding. The team is having some really good weeks and some pretty bad ones. THough this year is up and down, I am enjoying it 400 times more than last season.

Later and GO FINS!!!!!

Dolphins Rank: 26 (-2)

Comment: The Dolphins have gotten a reality check with back-to-back losses, including one to the Ravens at home Sunday. Like almost everybody else, consistency is a problem.

Comment: Can we ditch the Wildcat now? It took all of four weeks to figure it out. Getting the quarterback going should be more of a priority. Chad Henne?

Dolphins Rank: 23 (-1)

Comment:
The Ravens sneered at the Wildcat. It sure came and went in a hurry, didn't it? I still feel, though, that a team that devoted some real effort to true single wing principles, like Xavier Prep in NYC, would do great damage.

Comment:
Guess if you were to pick a team that the wacky "Wildcat" offense would not work against, it would be the Ravens. Miami's coaches quickly shelved the gimmick after Ray Lewis and his crew shut it down, along with everything else Miami tried in losing last week to Baltimore. That's not so troubling as the 842 yards the Dolphins have allowed over the past two weeks combined.

Comment:Defense allowing too many points to questionable offenses. Need better showing against confident Bills.

Dolphins Rank: 24 (-4)

Comment: Wildcat offense hit a wall vs. Ravens' swarming defense. That was to be expected, they still are better than anyone thought.

Dolphins Rank: 28 (-4)

Comment: Implementing the Wildcat formation really was a brilliant move on the part of the Dolphins' coaching staff, but I think over the course of the season opposing defenses will get better at stopping it as they have more film to scour. And after that offense, the Dolphins don't have much to offer.

I post this thread every Thursday during the regular season unless life prevents it.
 
Congratrulations man!

Just make sure you set the date for the offseason! My sister got married last year and set the date for a Saturday during our soccer season, during game time. I have a season ticket at Queens Park Rangers and told her I wasn't missing a home game.... So she moved it to the off season! THere's a time and place for weddings and during the football season is not it!!
 
Why would 2 of the power rankings move us up after that poor showing. I guess everyone wants to be different.

last year I had to miss the opener at Washington to go to my sisters wedding. She wouldnt change the date so I had to listen to it on my sirius in the car.. Its probably for the best I didnt get to see them lost their first game.
 
who puts a team 3/4 spots up after a loss?
