don't know why you're surprised. I was 100% certain the Dolphins would lose to Houston today, as I've said numerous times all week.
And for months saying how this will be a nightmare season (IE- depending on too many rookies, poor O-line, and remember the D was seriously overrated last year as they faced some horrible QB's = Miami was so lucky to see Trent Edwards in week one instead of Fitzpatrick and we saw what fitzpatrick did to us last year in the 2nd matchup, Gradkowski with oakland, a done Favre who got 10 years older last season, a horrible Delhomme with cleveland, facing kerry collins against Tenn, and some other "bottom-of-the-barrel poor QB's to pump up Miami defensive stats last year (miami's D only looked great against those piss poor QB's but against decent to good ones miami's D looked quite poor).. but against the really good QB's last year this defense was as soft as a marshmallow
the defense was heavily overrated by the fans here and I started thread after thread stating that we need to still invest a lot in this D for the reasons I stated.. but we didn't and just stood pat with an average D
and of course you have a lame-duck head coach who's a total idiot and has no idea what he's doing managing all of that.
As I've said for awhile, this Miami team will quit and give up earlier this year than they did last year. The writing was on the wall, and in big letters. It was VERY obvious to see this coming., and from miles away.
this is just the beginning, it will get worse.[/QUOTe
