Way too much self congratulations coming from the gallery. GB, AZ, and Cinci all have started out looking just as strong and perhaps more balanced than the Pats so far. It's the 3rd freakin' game for God's sake. Christ after the 3rd game last season we were 2-1 against a weak schedule and the doomsday sayers were having a field just before Doomsday HAPPENED In week 4.
I'd feel a lot better if more people would refrain from writing checks we might not be in a position to cash right now. We have a lot of questions left to be answered on the OL, secondary and DL, just for starters. And what the opponents are likely to end up being is also unknown.
I know everyone has already written off Jacksonville. But I find it hard not to worry about a team who has been picking in the top 10 of EVERY round for the entire decade and beyond. They have a decent HC, some continuity, and patient owner. These are the teams that start to turn it around about this time, and thus are dangerous. They are dangerous enough to surprise a "talented" Dolphin team at home.
Games are won on the field not by fans adding up match ups. We should know that the Talent on the field will be equal. Where we DO have a big advantage is in systems, experience and coaching/ Its a game we SHOULD win, but as I'm sure Bill said a 1000 times already this week, if the players don't put in the effort and concentration into executing the game plan....they will lose. EVERY team has the ability to do that on a given day.,
