But this week... let me see... Miami! Ha! I brought visual aids for this one. It's a good thing I did, because nobody in Miami can read English. ...

The Dolphins are the Cowboys of the AFC. They had their glory days under a legendary coach, Don Shula. They have since fallen on hard times and utterly wasted the career of the finest pure passer in NFL history, Dan Marino, who could not escape from a pocket if he were a baby kangaroo. They had no running game to speak of, and yet they ran on first and second down on nearly every drive and then expected Marino to bail them out of third-and-seven. Much of the time, he did, because he was Dan Marino. However, this did not prevent Jim Kelly and the Bills from owning their candy asses in the early nineties.

The one time Marino actually made it to the Super Bowl, he had the misfortune of playing against Joe Montana and the 1984 Niners, who destroyed them 38-16. (RDreamer's Note: My parents were living in Orlando when this game occured. My mother is a rabid Niners fan, my father liked the Dolphins. After this game he did not speak to her for a week) This was the pinnacle of Marino's career, and the best it would ever get. He should have retired in 1985.

So today, the Dolphins are the model of inconsistency. Sometimes they are bad, sometimes they are good. Nobody really knows which one they will be from season to seson or even week to week. They demolished the Patriots in Week 1, and then in Weeks 2 and 3 they laid eggs against the Bills and Chiefs respectively. Who are the Dolphins?

...

This game is hard to call, because the Raiders usually are not good and the Dolphins sometimes are. It remains to be seen whether the East Coast Curse translates into the British Isles Curse. I think it probably will, not due to the Dolphins being a vastly better team but rather due to Oakland's injuries and depth issues.

Dolphins win, 21-19.
