Here they are, the Power Rankings for week 6. Enjoy
The Drum Roll:
Its funny how when our team starts to win I notice more Dolphins jerseys at the LSB (local sports bar). I think I counted four Sunday. There was also a chargers fan that showed up. He was very loud, he walked out of the place very quietly but not before he told me, "You guys are doing good. Glad you got that flake off your team (I think he was refering to JT) you dont need super starts on your team." I dont think i agree but it was nice to get a compliment no mater what it was wrapped in.
I hope you enjoy the rankings, I have been doing this for the better part of 5 years and its nice to FINALLY see some compliments for our 'phins
Later and GO FINS!!!!!:hi5:

Dolphins Rank: 23 (+3)
Comment: A second straight win over a preseason AFC favorite has the Dolphins surging. They're only 2-2, but hope is being restored. (TG)
CBS Sports Line

Dolphins Rank: 21 (+4)
Comment: Tony Sparano deserves a ton of credit for getting this team to 2-2. Miami defeated two good teams, which is a shock in a lot of ways.

This is a very difficult part of the chart. It always is. They've lost to the Jets and Cardinals, both below them. Yet they've beaten the Patriots and, well, the Chargers, and had the ingenuity to torment people with their Wildcat Offense...and I will challenge you to a duel, name the weapon, if you call it the single wing. Very difficult. Actually I hate this part of the batting order.

Comment:
Bill Parcells' fingerprints are all over this South Beach uprising -- a selfless team built on a strong running game and tough defense while avoiding the big mistakes. QB Chad Pennington has gone three straight games without throwing an interception, and it took until Week 5 until a Miami receiver dropped a pass for the first time. COOL STAT: Miami called its "Wildcat" direct snap play 11 times against the Chargers last week, resulting in 49 yards, four first downs and one touchdown. THIS WEEK: at Texans (0-4)

Comment: Beat teams the last two weeks who were a combined 27-5 in 2007. Defense has been impressive.

Comment: The Miami Herald had an article this week about how front office boss Bill Parcells wouldn't allow success to go to the Dolphins' heads. There's a problem they didn't have to worry about last year.
