This is a moderated phorum for the CIVILIZED discussion of the Miami Dolphins. In this phorum, there are rules and moderators to make sure you abide by the rules. The moderators for this phorum are JC and Colonel.
The Dolphins have once again proven that they can beat up on bad quarterbacks. Matt Cassel, Rex Grossman, Ryan Fizpatrick. Three guys who are either below average or simply bad. We saw this last year with wins over old man Favre, Trent Edwards, etc.
While it's nice to see that our team has some adequate pieces going forward, we're still 3-7 and we still haven't beaten any good teams with quality QBs.
I really hope we don't fall into the same trap that we did with Nick Saban and Dave Wannstedt and think that because we picked up some wins down the stretch against subpar competition, everything is great and we can just keep doing what we're doing.
This team still needs a major overhaul in the offseason, and the unfortunate result of this winning streak is that Jeff Ireland probably sticks around to draft more linemen in the first round and Tony Sparano just might get another shot to be a stunningly mediocre coach.
The Bills have been blown out three weeks in a row now and Fitzpatrick has had 5 games with multiple picks this season. Again, it's the same story as last season. Beat up on bad teams and then get stomped 34-6 by the Jets or some other squad that shows up to play real football.
Oh BooHoo, the Dolphins are winning, woe is me.
Two of the three teams that the Phins beat had winning records, not an insignificant feat in today's NFL.
Give me a win on Thursday and make this "Suck for Whoever" go away.
as long as we can still get griffen or barkley in the draft, and keep moore next year, I am happy with how everythings been playing out. will be very unhappy if next year we have sporano, ireland, and a lineman in the first round, with henne and moore battling it out for the starting QB.

another guy who is happy to see there team go on a 3 game winning streak chime in... sorry if we are winning to much to get your beloved andrew luck, i mean i know he is the best in the past 25 years and will single handedly turn around this franchise with his popgun arm and grizzly face, lol

How is Andrew luck the best QB in the past 25 years when he is not even the best qb in this years draft!
I'm usually inclined to be optimistic, but this time I agree with JAY. Still not impressed by this team, not at all. If we win on turkey day however, I will start feeling a bit more relieved.
There is a big difference from this game and the KC game for me---this time I want us to win!! I do like what I see out of Moore, and plus I hate Dallas.
I'm thrilled with a 3 game winning streak. Makes my sunday much more enjoyable.
It still doesn't change the fact that we opened with 7 straight losses and that we still need a franchise qb and a new coaching staff and front office.
You need to look no further than across the ball yesterday to see what a kneejerk decision to extend a hot qb gets you.
