Tough fought and tasty was how I describe today’s Miami Dolphins victory. We took heavy blows early. We were leaning and wobbling on the ropes…heck, I was reeling from the shots. It was so bad we recorded our 3rd straight safety. I thought there was a chance the team would fold up shop and hibernate till 2016. BUT, they didn’t, and instead showed true heart and grit even being down several players on defense…and when they came off the ropes they stuck their iron shod boot right up the arse of the Eagles.
Miami still made mistakes and some head scratching calls, but what was made certain is the Fins got some serious stars on that roster. Landry with a big first down and miraculous TD catch, Jones proving that his pace to statistically be the best S in the history of the game is no mistake with a HUGE Int in the endzone, and Suh again dominating and brutalizing O-line and QB’s alike, showing that he just might be worth that massive contract: all are elite players at their respective positions and under contract for several years.
This doesn’t mean even the best sportsbooks in the world are betting on us as Super Bowl material, but this win put serious light on dark times. We have a coach who has never coached before and had to pick up the pieces mid-season and whatever you think of his job so far, at the very least he has kept the team fighting when previous editions of the Miami Dolphins would have quit. So playoffs are remote, but they are still on the table. We might make them, or we might not, either way we are seeing that there are building blocks here with which this coach or another can build on. They like today’s win offer hope. Today and right now I am very happy my Miami Dolphins fought the way they did – AND WON!!! Go Fins!!!
