Out of curiosity, are their any Miami Dolphins fans out there other than me, MiamiAtty, and fcs? It appears it will be another looooong season. Boo.

There are probably other Dolphins fans out there, but they prefer to remain anonymous. By the way, what were your expectations -- record-wise -- of the Fish this year? |

The expectations weren't very high, but for some reason the preseason got my hopes up a little. I know that is stupid. Not playoffs or anything, but was thinking they could win around 5 or 6 games.
Really thought they had a good shot a beating the Jets last week. Technically they did, but the Jets were clearly the better team. |

As long as they are competitve in the games, I think that would be a step in the right direction. Two years of solid drafts (e.g., no Ted Ginns in the first round) and a couple of free agents should put them in contention in no time because of the parity in the league.
After Week 1, it looks like the Dolphins are better than the Raiders, Lions, and Bengals.  |

Come on. We didn't just get Ginn, we got his whole family.  Seriously though, I agree. Just frustrating. For some reason, I think we might have a chance against Arizona this week. If the defense can keep pressure on Warner, he will make stupid mistakes. Our secondary is uber weak though. I didn't think they looked amazing against the San Francisco either. We'll see. Could be another long afternoon. |

I lived in South Florida for 9 years and never did become a 'fins fan, but I did learn to dislike the Jets....or should I say Jets fans!! Maybe because they become Mets fans in baseball season! Of course I grew up a Buc...and remain a Buc! GO BUCS!!! (despite our 0-1 start) |

Keeno/Chile- Look on the bright side; at least your not Raiders fans.  "It's easy to grin, when your ship comes in, and you've got the stockmarket beat, but the man worth-while, is the man who can smile, when his shorts are too tight in the seat." -Judge Smails |

Miami should be able to pull out a win against AZ.
They should think the way the Pats do, one week at a time. Pats, even w/out Brady, are still a great team b/c everyone does their job and some step up more when others are hurt. Miami should improve as the year goes along, BARRING INJURIES... |

Agreed. Already lost Donald Thomas for the year. He is a special talent. Signed in the 6th Round and he earned a starting spot on the OL. Is it just me or have the injuries just been out of control so far? Off the top of my head, I can think of Tom Brady Marques Colston Ben Roethlisberger (team says he is okay, but you know how that goes - he didn't practice yesterday) Nate Burleson Shawne Merriman Osi Umenyiora Donald Thomas Dallas Clark (didn't practice yesterday after leaving the Chicago game with a knee injury) Pretty crazy - it's still very early. |

Due to mental or physical injuries? |

forgot about him as well as Alex Smith. I believe Jeff Saturday is out too. I am sure there are others. Makes me wonder what Week 2 holds. Almost all of these are knee injuries too. |

Just yet one more Texas Longhorn failure in the NFL from the Mack Brown babysitting service! BOOMER SOONER. |

The Bears were picked last in the NFC north this season by alot of people and the Vikings picked to push the Packers for the division. Brad Childress is a terrible coach and a bad judge of talent so I think we will be lucky to win seven games.

Adrian Peterson was a terrible pick. What on earth were the Vikings thinking of when they picked Adrian Peterson?????   |

|
|

I think its a bit early in the season to be bemoaning the Vikings (or the Colts/Jags/Chargers). The Browns on the other hand...

I think the linesmen have some money on Indy today.

The Addai TD call could have easily gone either way, replays were inconclusive and the announcers said the same. Indy doesn't look good though. |

What the hell happened to Carson Palmer? It is like his skill set vanished overnight.
3 int's, 1 fumble, 0 td's, so far, along with a horrible completion %. |
