A.J. Duhe, that hero of so many Dolphins victories of yore, all but pumped his fists into the air in a Dolphin Stadium elevator a few moments after his old team finally turned back Seattle's Seahawks 21-19.
''Great drama,'' Duhe said, grinning ear to ear. ``I never saw a bad win yet.''

Duhe left everything on the field when he played, and his loyalty remains undiminished. He saw a bad win Sunday. He was just too loyal to admit it.
The Dolphins started gangbusters and finished with the touchdown they needed to nose out one of the worst teams in the National Football League.

That was good. Only they looked awful in between. They couldn't run, couldn't pass, couldn't block, couldn't tackle. The Seahawks -- the lowly Seahawks, for crying out loud -- were literally playing the Dolphins off their feet.

Arm-tackling and no-tackling allowed the Seahawks 126 yards rushing. The same Miami deficiencies staked Seattle to 147 total yards in kickoff and punt returns. That's a lot when a good team does it. It's lousy when you let a raggedy crew like the Seahawks get away with it.

Channing Crowder was banging Seattle heads all afternoon. So, too, was Matt Roth. Will Allen, Jason Allen and Yeremiah Bell made telling plays in the secondary. The field was not overflowing with other Dolphins stars. And the Hawks were matching Dolphins misstep for misstep.

If the Dolphins can win a third consecutive game playing like this, it is lovely to imagine what they might achieve at their best.

Thats the best part of it cause its true... They played pretty bad and yet still won. Thats what good teams do...

Quick Question?? How did Jake Long Look?? I heard he was impressive :d-day:
 
we seem the match the way our oppoents play we usally play good against better teams
 
This Seattle team is probably one of the worse in their team's history.

Still, I'm just glad we escaped with a win. It wasn't pretty..but it's better than losing on a last second FG
 
This is the type of game we use to lose.

Regardless of our winning record, we are still in rebuilding mode, with a young team, and rookie head coach.

In Bill Parcells we trust.
 
The SeaHawks truely are not a good team. Houston was a different story. It is a little depressing to know that had it not been for at least over 5 false starts, at least 2 huge dropped passes and other things we prob would have lost this game. However we did get the win, which was vital and i liked what i saw out of Ginn, Ricky, Bell and crowder..

Seriously dude, thanks for the reality check. This week has been rediculous. I'm surprised i havent seen more "Dolphins to the Superbowl" threads. Everyone forgot where we were last year and that we started this season 0-2.

In Chad We Trust.
 
This close game today is great preperation for the next seven games of the season. Guy's our Dolphins will make the playoff's this season, Have Faith in them.
 
pretty or ugly ... I DONT CARE! Just gimme another in the W column.
 
Yeah but winning is the point of playing. I don't give a damn if the Dolphins win every game by 1, when they win it's time to dance in the streets.
