This may be the wildest season in Dolphins history. They have the same record as the Colts in December, and have never been below .500 during this season. They are 6-1 on the road. They have a Top 5 defense and the leagues leading pass rusher. Imagine knowing all this before the season? You'd be thrilled and think they could make a Super Bowl run. However, then there is the 1-5 at home, an offense that struggles to score, some more of the familiar suspect QB position. We had that insane Steelers game where the refs took a win away[a win that now has playoff implications], and now "Tripgate," two things Dolphin fans won't soon forget, especially since both the Jets and Steelers are rivals. They have traded wins and losses for the past 9 weeks or so.
They had quite possibly the worst QB performance by a winning team in NFL history. But, a win is a win especially when it comes against the Jets. They closed the rivalry at Giants Stadium with a win and opened it at New Meadowlands with a win, so that is a great thing.
Where will the team go from here? Will they lose another home game, or will they finally go on a winning streak and end the season with a bang and get some home wins for a crowd that deserves it? If the Texans pull out a win tonight, that will surely bring up people's playoff hopes with the Saints going to Baltimore next week, who will be fighting to still take the division from the Falcons.
The Dolphins franchise has only had back to back losing seasons once since the AFL-NFL 1970 merger (2006 and 2007), so that's also important for us to get a winning season, go out on a high note, and hope for a miracle playoff appearance.
