Active Roster
A feel-good year means zilch in the NFL if you don't uphold it.
The Miami Dolphins and Atlanta Falcons were the two turnaround teams last year. They rebounded from abysmal seasons to make the playoffs in 2008.
Now they need to prove it all over again, and their first step will be against each other.
The Dolphins will visit the Falcons at 1 p.m. ET Sunday in the Georgia Dome.
"We are just going on and trying to make sure that we start this season on the right note," Dolphins running back Ronnie Brown said Wednesday. "The only way to do that is to start off with a win.
"I think that we have the same goal in common, and now it just comes down to who works and who executes the best come Sunday.”
Miami and Atlanta each went 11-5 last year and reached the playoffs.

This is excellent read and what Im about to say is not coming from me the Fin fan, but from me the football fan. This team is really really focused. They sound like they must win Sunday in order to prove all the work they put in the offseason worked. I think Miami wants it more than the Falcons and we should be ready for a hard faught game.
