Live Blog: Miami vs. Oakland

[Denver_Bronco]

I hoped you learned your lesson about looking ahead.  BY the way, Denver just beat a 6-3 team ON THE ROAD, who was previously 4-0 at home.  I am going to go ahead and purchase some Super Bowl tickets ASAP.

My heart says "worst win EVER," but my brain says "a win is a win."

As ugly as the wins against Seattle and Oakland were, Miami ended up with two W's.

I'd much rather win ugly than lose 15 games a season.

Still, these past two games show that much work remains to be done. But who amongst us, other than the most manic and deranged fans, would have realistically expected to be 6 and 4?

I would be lying if I said I were happy right now. This win just feels... well... there's some relief, I guess, but there's also a feeling of immense frustration. Right now, mine frustration is focuses on the stupid and cowardly decision to punt from Oakland's 34.

Just got back from the Game..........They took the hard way but I'll take an ugly win over a pretty Loss anyday of the week.  This is a first time in a long time that the stadium was actually mostly filled with Dolfans. Pennington was not on today. That safety really pissed me off. My Seats were on that side of the endzone and I could see it happening. But we pulled out some key first downs when we needed them for the win. Thats the difference between last year and this year.........Last year we lost 6 games by 3 points, this year we are finding ways to finish the game.

I'm torn, yet again this week.

It feels like a crappy win, yes.
But it also feels like another game we would've lost last year.

We're finding a way to win games at the end, even if it's in a way we don't like.

I have to agree once again.  Last year's team would've found a way to lose that game, and Cam Cameron would've looked even more stupid at the press conference afterwards.

Refs were really Bad yesterday . I saw Pennington with my own 2 eyes motioning for a timout with 9 seconds on the clock before Ole Ed gave it to him with only 2 and later apoligized. The Pass interference call that gave them 40 yds was also putrid.   That Mofo really needs to go. He is either a REALLY REALLY bad Ref or the NFL is telling him to give bad teams a fighting chance when he can.

You have to credit Pasqualoni, Sparano and Parcells for whipping this run defense into shape. 

Last season the Dolphins gave up 299 rushing yards to the Raiders.  Yesterday, they yielded only 70.
