DOLPHINS RUNNING GAME VS. PATRIOTS RUN DEFENSE Ronnie Brown has more receptions than any running back with the exception of New Orleans' Reggie Bush and Detroit's Kevin Jones.

wait till next year.

I have Ronnie Brown on my fantasy league, so I hope he does good!

[david hall]

the dolphins will lose by 21 points or more. This team could be the worst in the NFL this year. The choice to take culpepper over brees has caused this team to fall deeper into misery.

It is the fickle fans yhat tarnishes our team. I am a season ticket holder and remain optimistic. You're there for the bad and for the good. That;s why teams like the bears, packers, and other teams r sold out for they continue to believe no matter what

Being optimistic is one thing, being realistic is another. Miami will probably get spanked today...and that wont change until our line shows a little life and Mularkey lets Ronnie Brown actually try to run the ball. Hes' getting as many carries as he did last year. So much for trying to carry the load. Mularkey wont even let him try!!

You appear to hate the Fins and are probably the most negative person in this forum. I ask you why in the hell are you on line reading about the Fins? I can also assure you that the Fins will not lose by 21 points.

the dolphins with 17 points - what a joke

A reality check. Dick Saban is clearly making all the wrong moves. He chose a QB on the decline for one on the rise. How can anyone look at the year Brees had and the one Daunte had and say, I'll take Daunte? Daunte threw 6 Td's and 12 interceptions last year and went 0-6 "HEALTHY". They put Brad Johnson in with the same team and went 6-0. In the mean time, Drew Brees brought the lowly Chargers to the playoffs. Daunte clearly can not win a big game as evident in his entire career. If he could not go to the super bowl with Randy Moss, Chris Carter, Robert Smith and a great O line and defense in his prime, what makes you think it's all going to change now as he is on a downward spiral? Remember all those times Moss and Carter yelling at Daunte for all his great decisions?We had the perfect oppurtunity to get a winning QB in here, a franchise QB, and he blew it. Furthermore, Dick Saban's draft choices and free agency decisions leave tons to be desired. Can anyone tell me why we didn't keep Gus as an insurance policy?
Yes you cans say Daunte had a few years of good stats. You could also say Marino did too. Is anyone happy with the last 20 plus years watching a mediocre Dolphins team year in a year out? I'm not. Brees could have given this team a real chance. Thanks Dick!!! Time to go back to College ball if anyone wants you and your attitude.

[Daunte is not the future]

All this talk of buidling a new team for the future -- and they did it around a washed up QB. Sad.

They should have kept Gus.
At least he was able to win games.

If the dolphins lose
this game , the season is over

Can we please get over ourselves!?! The fans are not the ones out there coaching or playing. Saban is a jerk for his attitude and if we fans want to gripe, hey, we're paying their bills anyway. Let's get off this stupid "it's the fans' fault" bandwagon.

Daunte may provide a lift in the future when he is healthier, but the stupidity of just going with him and watching him get punished again and again with this offensive line - instead of putting in a more mobile Harrington - just shows what a pighead Saban is. NO, I DIDN'T DRINK THE KOOL-AIDE. Unlike Clapton, Saban is not God!
