Well that was a hell of a thing, wasn’t it?
Last week, the Dolphins seemed to control most of the game, but made a few mistakes here and there, and suddenly one looked at the scoreboard, and it was 24-14 Buffalo (the garbage time TD was, of course, irrelevant).

Dear Coach:
Let me open with this, lest you think otherwise: I think you’re a very good football coach. You are innovative; in a league where conventional wisdom rules, you show an open mind.

November 6, 2008

Let’s get the easy part out of the way first: there’s not a single Miami Dolphins fan alive that would have turned down a 4-4 start to this year. That’s doubly true when the early season schedule included the last two AFC Championship Game participants (San Diego and New England), three teams that were on [...]
