Arizona was a heartbreaker in OT. And miami lost to the jets in OT, after missing a FG in regulation, a FG in overtime, and then blocking the winning FG by the jets, to only be negated by a dumb time out by the dolphins head coach to "ice" the kicker.

So it's not like they were blown away by teams with winning records.

The Texans game was not close by any stretch. Miami kicked a FG in the 1st quarter and the offense never scored again. 2-10 on 3rd down, 0-3 on 4th down, and yards in garbage time. You can blame the game on tipped pass INT's (it was 2, not 3) but that's what JJ Watt does. He's near the top of the league in passes defensed as a DE for a reason.

FYI the Texans are the only team they played with a winning record. After a hot start AZ looks like crap and fell to 4-4.

You also have to remember, this was a rookie QB's first game. new coaching staff, new scheme. The dolphins have gotten better since week 1. They've come further in 8 weeks than most other teams.

And you can knock miami all you want, for playing "weaker" teams. Really the only excuse you can give, for a team that many had written off and was expected to draft 1st overall next year.

Who exactly has Houston beat, with a winning record? Miami, who you obviously think isn't good. Denver, and the ravens, who have a depleated defense. Congrats...

I know miami's offense isn't potent, by any means, but their defense and special teams makes up for it. And you know what they say about defenses...

JUISSD · 11-01-2012, 01:04 PM

I'm not knocking Miami, I'm simply stating the facts along with my opinion. I think they'll finish around 8-8 and that's not too bad against their schedule with a rookie QB.

As far as who the Texans beat, they beat a pretty good Denver team on the road and the Ravens. They had injuries on defense but so did we. It didn't stop a dominating performance though.

I know what good defenses do, that's why I'm glad the Texans have one of the best in the league.

The Dolphins have improved but answer honestly, what chance would they have of beating the Texans right now? I'd say they'd lose 7 or 8 out of 10 times.

PoorMansCamaro · 11-01-2012, 02:32 PM

well, i can only hope they play again this year.

JUISSD · 11-01-2012, 05:27 PM
