I was just as upset as most of you were following the Dolphins defensive effort in Monday Night's game..but after thinking about it, I was wrong to think that the defense needs a shakeup.
They just had a bad game..that simple. It happens to every team. The thing that opened my eyes is that the incredible Patriots defense has only given up 15 fewer points than Miami..and they've had their fair share of bad games. The difference?..they win those games.
New England has won this season by scores of 38-30, 30-26 and 38-34. Did you notice how nobody complained about how bad the Pats defense was? Did you notice how nobody said that they blew it when it counted? No one cares when you win.
If Miami would've won vs. the Eagles 40-37, I don't think we would be saying how the defense choked and how they need to dump some of the overpaid players, etc. etc. It's an example of the modern day NFL. Everybody is up and down..it's just that Patriots play as a team. When the offense struggles, they win 9-3 and 12-0...when the defense struggles, they win a shootout. Miami needs to have a team that is capable of winning both kinds of games. Unless they get a better QB, the defense will always be ripped when they play a bad game..because the Dolphins will always lose.
