    In the pass two seasons, no teams fans have had to endure and rejoice as much as the fans of the Miami Dolphins. It was only two seasons ago that Miami was ont he brink of an 0-16 season before they barely beat the Ravens at the end of regulation. Then, one year later, with a new QB, Head Coach, GM, and Vice prez. of football operations, the fans were rewarded for their struggles a season earlier. The team turned it around and gave the fans an AFC east championship, the first in several years. The season came down to the final week versus the jets and the Dolphins shined brightest against their arch rivals from New York.

    But as all Dolphins fans know, the team fell flat in it's playoff performance. They threw INTs, fumbled the ball away, gave up too many sacks. Just about everything the team was known for NOT doing happened.

    But this year is a new year. Miami has drafted some key players who will hopefully make a difference in their first seasons in Pat White and Vontae Davis. They brought back Jason Taylor, which has to be the craziest reunion that most fans have ever seen. (Didn't Taylor and Parcells hate each other...?) And of course, Miami has THE hardest schedule in the entire league with games against the Falcons, Patriots, Panthers, Colts, and Steelers, just to name a few.

    So what should fans expect? Well, they should expect a wild ride. One filled with ups and downs. The team is better then it was a year ago, with no major departures and a few solid acquisitions. but are they good enough to handle the hurdles coming at them this season? That's a question that they'll have to answer on the field. But one things for sure, if they can walk away winning more games then they lose this season, they are the real deal.
