I know we are 1-2 and a 1-15 last year, but come on. I watched almost every single news coverage on this game and not one person gave the Fins credit. At the Half Time Show, they did not talk about the Fins at all, just how NE's D is not doing good and their O isn't as good without Tom Brady. I think we are finally playing right and this is a HUGE confidence builder. I still firmly believe we will go 7-9 or 8-8. I don't give a damb what you people think. The Cards lost today, so at least they lost.

AFC Standings
Buffalo Bills 3-0 (Great team, but have more to prove)
New England Patriots 2-1 (Sorry)
New York Jets 1-1 (Haven't played yet)
Miami Dolphins 1-2 (Getting up there, hopefully)

I'm happy that the Colts lost and that the Jags won their 1st game. The Buccs great. The Falcons dominated. Min proved themselves. I think Dallas will win and I hope the Jets lose. Oak pissed me off because they had that game against Buff, but they blew it. The Bills are now the leaders of our division. It's been a while. :hi5:

Go Dolphins!

They aren't going to give the Dolphins credit because its been SO long since we have done that to ANY team. If we start to be more consistent then we will get some credit for it being due to our skills and not the opposing team having an off game.

I'll say they have more to prove! Three games and the Bills are a great team? Whatever, 3 weeks into the season and the Bills have played three teams that are a combined 3-6 and two of the three teams were missing either their entire WR group or their entire Oline. Now it's week 4 and the Bill get an 0-3 Rams team that's given up 116 points in just 3 games. Could any team in the league ask for an easier start to the season then that? I know the Bills have to play the schedule they've been given, but lets get real, "a great team"? Hardly.

eh they looked great against the Seahawks, and meh the last 2 weeks. I;d say they're solid, but they do have their share of weaknesses
 
I'm so happy, I started Ronnie Brown on my Fantasy team this week and Got a WHOPPING 41 points.

I don't care if they don't talk about us, we will just creep up on San Diego and beat them too. GO FINS
 
They have a lot more to prove. But the OL and DL made some GREAT strides today and that is what this game is all about. How well the DL and OL play. The Dolphins physically dominated one of the most physical teams in the NFL today. Let's see if they can do it more than one week.
 
Yea, it pisses me off too that the Dolphins DESTROY the Patriots and who do all of the sports reporters talk to? Belichek, Welker, Cassel, Moss...all of the Patriots!!

But you know what?? Fine so be it!!! Who knows, maybe if we're given no credit, we'll fly under the radar and have a better than average season...better than we expect or hope for. Kind of like how the Giants flew under the radar all season last year.
 
Actually I felt the station have done an ok job with giving the Phins props.
The issue is just that the Phins aren't expected to do anything while the Pats were.

So they gave Propsa to Pennington and Brown. They were all saying this was the running output we expected from our running game then they moved on to the Pats who are the story line right now.

If we were 2-0 and won it would be different.

James Brown came on after the game and said " We welcome those of you who watched the Miami Dolphins SPANKING of the New England Patriots" lol that was so hilarious to hear him say that.

IMO they were fair. Sure I would have liked to hear more, but most of them gave credit to the Phins and it didn't sound like anyone was saying that the Patriots lost the game. They all basically admitted the Phins stomped the Pats

Not sure what sports shows you have been watching
 
the only thing that bothers me is the constant talk of missing brady. Brady is one of the best qbs ever but he doesnt play defense. If healthy all brady wouldve done is sit on the sideline and watch ronnie have the best game of his career.
 
I think we got more props than I expected. Berman and Tom Jackson both pointed out the future is good and even Collinsworth said to "give the Dolphins credit." When you are 1-15 and a pathetic door mat, you can't expect a lot.
 
If we get to 3-2, they'll be talking. But in the NFL it takes more than one win, no matter how good, to earn some respect after the hole our organization has gotten in.

Can't you just enjoy the win and credit the team yourself? ESPN and the like should have nothing to do with your enjoyment of the Dolphins.
 
Actually, I saw alot of credit being given, specially from Chris Berman on Sportcenter last night, he seemed very excited, well more then usual :).

Also, If you watched the end of the Bills game, the female reported that ran on field to interview the bills QB right after win said " How much motivation was it looking up at the score board and seeing the Dolphins man handling the patriots opening the door for you guys to jump into first place?"

It seems we were the talk of the nation last night, we were always the 1st game reviewed on every station.

It was a nice moment for me.
