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.
I couldn't start the game day thread because of the Internet being down in my area this morning. Sorry.
Watched the game thus far and we have looked better than expected so far. The last minute of the first half seems to be a problem one fo the Dolphins. Must be a mental lapse for the coaches and the team.
We lead the Jets...and hope we can secure our a win.
I forget the thread where I posted about Gase not being a leader; he is not and I still don't understand why the ownership picked him to coach the Jets. The guy just doesn't have it.
Happy to see the players happy and thrilled about the win. They doused Flores with Gatorade as if it was a big game win. Preston Williams seems to be quite a find--I hope his knee injury is minor and doesn't screw up a budding NFL WR career.
At the moment it appears the Bengals are win less. I haven't seen them play and don't know why they are so crappy this year because they have a decent QB. Any body know what's ailing them?

That's the Patsies for me, most hated that is. It started out being the Colts (Baltimore that is) in 1967. That was true until the present alignment of the league came about and then it became the Steelers, Cowboys, and whatever other top team at any moment. Only when the Patsies started to dominate OUR division did I start hatin' on them as the Rappers put it.
