Default OT: I like Saban, but...

how on EARTH do you come within 2 points in the last two minutes and then put the ball in a RB's hands to throw??? (Cue the "when your QB is Daunte Culpepper..." jokes.)

But seriously, that is just braindead RECKLESS coaching. Works for us, though!

They lost to Houston, enough said! I think you should be kicked out of the league for losing to Houston!

Yep. When you need 3 yards to tie the game, a running back should be running or a quarterback should be throwing; a running back shouldn't be throwing.

the fish were the most overrated team in the league starting the season... why? because everyone thought they beat the pats at the end of last year... lol.. the pats didnt give a sh1t about that game; it meant nothing... the dolphins will finish below the bills

The Dolphins might finish last in the division.

I have been surprised at how poorly Saban has responded to the Dolphins' problems... it's as if he's very good at getting a good plan in place and motivating people but when he gets blindsided (in this case by Culpepper's poor play) he doesn't know how to respond. Makes me appreciate BB even more.

Tim Layden on cnnsi said something interesting last week which makes me think Saban didn't do his homework:

"Culpepper has thrown one touchdown pass and three interceptions. He doesn't look recovered or effective and my ears are ringing with the warnings spoken to me during a visit to Vikings' training camp in August, in which I was warned by Vikings' insiders that Culpepper is not just injured, but maybe finished.".

The supposed reason Miami went with Culpepper over Brees is they thought Culpepper would be ready to go to start the season and Brees wouldn't.
Oops.

I found it hilarious earlier when Butkus was suggesting that the Dolphins should bench Culpepper for Harrington. Has it really gotten that bad for Miami that the prospect of starting Harrington would be enticing??? He's awful too! The Dolphins are screwed. I can't believe I'm saying this but they were probably better off with Frerotte. At least he was careful with the football.

I visited the dolphins board to see how their fans are handling the season so far and I have to say, the atmosphere is dreadful. I never thought so many diehard fans could give up hope on their team so early in the season but my god, that's the feeling I get over there. As much as I love the pats and hate our enemies, I still have pity for the dolphins and would rather see them do well against anyone else besides the patriots. I was rooting for the Jets when they played the Colts, who for me are the real NE rivals because of the way the media have elevated a non-championship Colts above the no nonsense gritty Patriots. I don't know how other pats fans feel but I cheer on division rivals when they play non-division teams because I feel that if the Pats are the top dogs in a dominating division, it just proves that we will always be above the competition whether or not the media give us the credit.

It's a lot harder to win when the expectations are higher and teams are ready for you. This will be a good test for Saban to see just what type of coach he is. Early results are poor. But, it is a long season!
