Dolphins game thoughts

[cadams]

they weren't world beaters yesterday, but they had the lead from the first series, and held onto it. we will know a lot more after this week, but i think kubiak and phillips just wanted to make sure they didn't get burned by the big passing plays. they played most of the game with only 6 men in the box to keep the dolphins from anotehr 400+ yard passing day. they accomplished that. i would have loved to have seen them score another td or so and allow no tds,but that isn't realistic in the nfl. against the patriots the dolphins ahd over 400 yards in passing and scored 24 points. they scored 13 against the texans and had under 200 yards in passing i believe. the defense is causing turnovers and getting to the qb. the whole team was kind of down in the 3rd quarter, but all teams are going to have bad stretches.

even if they lost this weekend, and i think the odds are that they will, it won't be the end of the world. at the beginning of the year i think most people thought 2-2 after the first 4 games would be an acceptable (while not desirable) outcome. well, we are already at 2, so if they can win one of the next two we will be ahead of that mark.
