Miami Dolphins LT Branden Albert done for the year

[Rob0729]

Big hit for the Dolphins today. They lost their starting left tackle for the year.

Not good timing to lose a key player with a Thursday night game coming up against a very good DE duo in Mario Williams and Jerry Hughes.

Big blow for them he has made a dramatic difference this season.

Tough break. Albert is a good player, and has been having a fine season.

Injuries stink. I still think the phins stick around, beat buf this week.

If this had been posted on a Jets or Squealers board their classless fans would be

I on the other hand wish him a speedy recovery

Wishing Brandon Albert a speedy recovery.. Hoping that it's not a ligament AND broken bone..

Tough loss for them - best wishes to the player.

Early on (especially after Pats losing to them) the Fish looked like the toughest AFCE opponent and a definite WC contender/if not shoo-in. Now, sincy Buffy changed their QB they are looking to be tougher competition than the Fish (albeit still 2d place AFCE). I think I now (based on the injury and Jills gelling a bit) pick the jills in the head-head.

But between Buffy's AFC conf record and Miami's injuries they are both starting to look like also-rans / WC near misses.
Still too early to tell; injuries or players developing/synching can make Oct/Nov teams look much different in Dec/Jan (+ or -).

The guy just can't stay healthy it seems.

The game is better when top talent plays. Hope he makes it back next year.
