I usually don't look at those after a loss until late in the week if at all. Very interested find. Could it be possible that the sky hasn't fallen after all?

I told a friend, who is not a dolphins fan, that I feel much better about this team at 1-1 than I did last year's team at 2-0, or even 3-0. Last year we were 3-0 and were in the bottom 7 in nearly every category.

yep, we were lucky to be 3-0 last year. Things do look a bit better this year despite the record.
 
I just do not care about these stats until we have played at least 5 games.

Yes, the small sample size doesn't mean much at this point. But the comparison to last year at this point is promising as the previous reply pointed out.
