New Opportunity

lol, I thought we were a 2nd rate team?

 

Had to read this post. Couldn't help myself.

I find it funny how when they lose it's on "them" and when they win "we" won.

Gotta love the usage of "we" in this case especially.

Anyway, back on to the ignore list.

In other news: Dallas/Minesota is a game. Tied 21-21 in the 3rd.

 

Heres the thing i dont get. We just beat the PACKERS. Many people consider them a top 3 NFC team right now. Rodgers is considered a top 5 QB.

And yet beating them doesn't show we're better than the losses to the Jets and the Pats?

You have to start giving us credit for the games we DO win and stop picking out the hardest game on our schedule and saying "If we don't win that, we're nothing".

 

i just had to laugh on that one. cant we pick cincy as the game we need to win

 

Did someone take over this account???

 

Oh happy day. There's an ignore list I didn't know about. I'll have to keep that in mind just in case.

 

The Dolphins are till we prove otherwise! This win while it was a win would not have been a win if they were not banged up.

Pittsburgh isnt so bad off.

I wear no rose colored glasses. We have LOTS of issues and we won but easily could have lost numerous times.

 

tHANKS,
You just made fried rice fly out of my nose

 

You must not be a true Dolphins fan... can't be. Otherwise you would know that they are all about getting your hopes up only to burst your bubble. Get with the program, no way the Fins beat the Steelers.

 

So what your telling me is, you have adopted the Cam Cameron philosophy with your posting?

Fail, Forward, Fast...

I get it, well done.

 

Before the season the Packers, Cowboys, and Saints were the top 3 NFC teams. The packers are covered in injuries, but they still have a great receiving core, an All-pro QB and a very strong defensive line. They're still fielding a great team, and we still managed come out on top. This was just as big a win as any.

 

If you use it on me....we're breaking up

 

How about Nihilists? Surely they won't hate you too.

 

how do you figure, because it is at home?? Pitt is playing the best in football right now besides that other team from NJ....it will be a major confidence booster if they win that game....

 

"It's like Deja Vu all over again."

 

Don't do it Con!!!

 

I'm not doing anything. That's Yogi Berra talking, blame him.

 

"Nobody goes there, it's always too crowded."

 

Well to me this game is setting up like the Jets MNF game did last yr, we had just gotten a huge win against the Bills (no that is not an oxymoron) and the Jets were riding high when they came down to Miami, Cam Wake was coming off of a 2 sack performance vs the Bills and the running game had gotten really going.

 

Why am I not surprised that credit from the GB win is contingent on beating the best team in the NFL?

 

It was the Vikes, pads!

 

last yr, penny went down and we lost the chargers, then Henne started v the Bills, Wake had 2 sacks in his first real game, the Jets came down to Miami after losing to the Saints, but still quite cocky, and the Dolphins won the game even when we were under dogs.

BTW..first 3 consecutive road wins since 08, first time to open the season since 2003.

 

I'm not expecting a win, but I'm expecting competition.

If we can be competitive against the Steelers, and show that we're ready to tear through the rest of the games on our slate, I'll walk away from next week pleased.

The Steelers really have been tearing it up out there. However, Ben is only coming in on his second game back. Lets hope there's a bit of rust there. I mean they stomped the Browns over the weekend, but it's the friggin browns.

I am rather worried about that defense of theirs though.

 

So it went from "this team is second rate and they suck" to "this team has a chance to turn the corner" in just one week?

This what happens when people make claims irrationally.
Get off the fence OP........

 

My bad, misread and thought you meant this year.

 

I don't have a big problem with this. If this is truly a good team, then they have it in them to beat the Steelers. Same goes for the rematches against NE and NY. The only one I disagree with is Baltimore. Not that they can't beat the Ravens, but I wouldn't particularly think a loss on the road against a real strong non-divisional opponent would necessarily be indicative of how good or bad the team is.

 

after that viking game I wrote that all the premature demise of the team and farve was just that....they were good, farve was good/played well, and now the pundits are back on that wagon after more data....Bottom line, that was a qauality win on the road for our young team.

 

2 of our 3 wins have come against playoff teams from last year, on their turf, against teams that were very heavy favorites to represent the NFC in the superbowl.....
and our 2 losses came from playoff teams in the AFC, both strong favorites to represent the AFC in the superbowl...

but...if we beat the Steelers, who weren't a playoff team...that makes us elite?

Gotcha.

 

Wait a minute.

Either you're elite or not, you can't be elite dependent on schedule. Who you play, has nothing to do it.

Seriously, you should post here, you'll find more like minded "fans". In fact, you'll probably be their hero.

 

IMO Pitt should be favored against Miami this coming week. They have played better over the first 6 weeks of the season. That being said Miami is certainly capable of playing with them and beating them. Miami has shown the talent to play with any team in the league. What Miami hasn't shown is the consistency to be listed with the top teams. Of course, that list of the top teams will change throughout the season. And since Miami has already shown the talent to play with that group its ridiculous to contend that any one game will or will not show what this team will be by the end of the season.
