Normally I would savor this victory for the rest of the week. Do not have that luxury with Da Bears coming to Miami in 3 days. IF we do not beat up on Da Bears, this hard fought, tremendous effort of a win is totally meaningless. With all the injuries, not to mention all the bumps and bruises, this is no easy task. A lot of our best players are hurt, and we will be starting our 3rd string QB. Talk about having to overcome adversity. Who could blame the team if they lost? I have to believe that the coaches and players would blame themselves if they allowed this to happen. They worked too hard in this win for it not to matter. I fully expect a super-human effort, and somehow a WIN.
cant know what's a realistic expectation until we see who's going to be playing. With Henne, Long, Berger, Wake, Clemons and Bell all dinged up we need to know who will suit up before we can have a fair expectation. We can probably overcome an injury or two but if all of them were to miss the game I would be amazed if we even kept it close

Thigpen should have been the backup anyway and has started in this league. You better believe the Bears won't perceive him or prepare for him as if he is a 3rd string QB.
For the first time in along time I am excited to see the Dolphins play. I cannot wait to see what Tyler Thigpen brings to the table. I loved watching him in KC.
I just hope that whoever we bring in as a QB is able to learn the basics of the playbook as Thursday night's game is about 76 hours away. If Thiggy were to get injured we could end up with Ronnie running the Wild Cat the entire game.....I just hope that Thigpen doesn't try and do too much. The Phins will have ten days off to get the "other QB's" up to speed. I think Thigpen can get the job done and looking forward to seeing what he can do against the Bears.
