A tear just ran down my eye!

Me, too, and I'm not ashamed a bit.

If after the Arizona debacle, you had told me Miami would beat the Pats and the Bolts, I would have said you were smoking crack.

This is a new team, and god bless Parcells/Ireland/Sparano.

Wow...just wow. Miami has looked so damned good the last two games. I'm not embarrassed to say that I am reeeeally starting to fall in love with Coach Sparano.

Now, if my beloved Niners can beat down the Patriots this afternoon, this will be a perfect Sunday. Grin

Here is this weeks best predictor almost dead on.

Since we won a game, I am now on the "we can win" bandwagon.  Unless we lose.  Tongue

Didn't get to see the whole game and completely missed the Pats game, but some things that stick out in as key factors that we have not seen in a long time:

- 390 yds of offense, only 200 yds allowed
- A Dolphin's QB with a +100 rating ... holy $#it!
- Solid running by the backs
- All the above means the OL must be coming together well
- No turnovers by the QB or RBs
- We finished a game by getting first downs and had we had more time or needed it we looked like we could score on the last drive ... nice not to have to beg our defense to hold after a three and out

Would like to have seen:
More sacks and a turnover or two by our D
Better return yards (and Bess not to have fumbled)
Better ST coverage - 70+ yds on 3 KR is not great and Fields' punt avg wasn't great ... but that last punt into the endzone prob skewed the numbers

Overall, I'm proud of this team ... proud to be a fan again! I know we are not going to win all or even most of our games but we can build upon these successes and get a winning attitude ... then lookout!

A .500 record for the first time since week 16 of the 2005 season.  Man, that's been a long time coming.

I said it in February and I'll say it now - this team goes 9-7 or 10-6 this year.  They were this (-) close to being a .500 team last year, even at 1-15.

Miami SHOULD be 3-1 right now, the Jets loss was a fluke.

He obviously played well. No penalties on him either.

I remember a quote from a Futurama episode "When you do the right thing, no one will know you've done anything at all."

I think that's appropriate.

By the way, did everyone notice that Derek Hagen was inactive today? So much for the pro career of the all time PAC-10 receptions leader.

I thought he played very well. I tried to tunnel-vision in on him several times on obvious passing downs to see how he's developing in the two areas I wanted to see him get better...the quickness of his kick-out step and his initial hand placement on the pass rush. His kick-out step is still a little slower than I think you want from an elite LT, but it's better than it was in week one. His hand placement seems to be getting better as well (and contributed to his no-penalties), but I expected that...Jake has always seemed very coachable, and hand placement discipline is a coachable skill.

Thanks Stroke. Sounds like our newest #1 is well on his way.
