intangible(ĭn-tăn'jə-bəl)
You take those facts on paper amongst others and look at our opponents this year and there is no reason to believe we win as many games as we have. The so called experts, who are not fans and do not watch every detail of this team, continue to pick against us because on the outside we should not be able to contend this deep into the season and we continue to look overmatched by our opponents. I'm sure this surprises and frustrates writers and bookies alike.
It's the intangibles that make this team what it is. Things that cannot be placed on paper nor can be seen when matching Miami head to head with an opponent. Things like heart, the desire to win, playing as a team, not wanting to let your coach and teammates down and I'm sure there are many many more intangibles that make this team what it is.
I have become as tired of the Dolphins being picked against week after week as the next guy but if we are honest with ourselves, how many of us at the beginning of the season actually thought we would be Hosting a playoff game in January? Sure they're were a few, but the vast majority of even the most rabid fans on this board were saying they would be happy with a .500 season.
Look at us now, 11-5 hosting Baltimore (HOSTING!!) in the first round of the playoffs! WOW!! Absolutely unbelievable! Unfathomable! Improbable! It doesn't make sense, it doesnt look right on paper... and that is one of the reasons, if not the main reason we haven been and continue to be underdogs.
Its because of what the 08 Dolphins have become and should be known and respected for:
They are the team of Intangibles.
- Incapable of being perceived by the senses.
- Incapable of being realized or defined.
- Incorporeal.
