Really, what about 2004 when Miami had their worst season ever and kicked the crap out of the eventual SB Champ Pats in Miami??? It doesn't matter the games between the two teams they play each other tough no matter who does what and with whom, every year. Also if you remember last year in Miami when your Pats were playing for something, it came down to the last play of the game where Chambers couldn't bring in a low pass in the endzone to bring the game within an extra point of being a tie.
You know, that's a good one. I talked to a Dolphins fan after that game, who claimed that was "their Super Bowl."
Gotta love those high standards.
But you know what the funny thing is?
Here are the results of the last 8 meaningful Patriots-Dolphins games:
12/22/01 - W - 20-13 - H
10/06/02 - L - 13-26 - A
12/29/02 - W - 27-24 (OT) - H
10/19/03 - W - 19-13 (OT) - A
10/19/03 - W - 12-0 - H
10/10/04 - W - 24-10 - H
12/20/04 - L - 28-29 - A
11/13/05 - W - 23-16 - H
A lot of close games, yes.
But do you recognize anything important?
Like you know, the fact that the Pats have WON when it mattered?
Winning - what an interesting concept. Winners are winners, while losers are all about "could-have," or "would-have."

Spoken like a true homer in denial. Every time you post you write like god himself sat down with you and guaranteed a division title. The Pats time at the top won't last forever and your rambling reeks of fear. The Fins aren't as good as I think??? Well I'm not the only one who thinks the fins are a good team. Maybe you should join a major Sports network and tell the world you know more then everyone else and you're always right because you're a Pat fan!
Look, the only one in denial here is you. Keep riding the "Pats' time at the top won't last forever" notion. Ride it onto your couch in January. The Pats won't slow down, they won't stop. Until teams, their fans, and their media contigency learn to shut their mouths and play, the Pats will only use it as motivation. They have, they are, and they will.

After all it just wouldn't be fair if someone else won the division besides the Pats, aint that right ya spoiled baby??. The only team you respect is the Pats, everytime you post you write as if the Pats are the only team on the planet your logic is transparent. At least Dolphin fans respect the Pats and know we have to earn the division title unlike you and your warped sense of ownership in the division without playing one game. Your team is no different then anyone elses, one injury away from being the worst team in the division.
Yeah, it's for a reason:
2005 New England Patriots:
AFC East Division Champions
2004 New England Patriots:
Super Bowl XXXIX Champions
AFC Conference Champions
AFC East Divsion Champions
2003 New England Patriots:
Super Bowl XXXVIII Champions
AFC Conference Champions
AFC East Division Champions
2002 New England Patriots:
2001 New England Patriots:
Super Bowl XXXVI Champions
AFC Conference Champions
AFC East Division Champions
We respect good teams, but only those with class and integrity through their organization and fanbase. The Browns are coming to mind nowadays with Romeo. We'll see what Mangini does.
Your denial leaks on through with the "spoiled baby" comment, as it's quite evident that not only you and your fellow fans, but the rest of the NFL and the media has grown tired of the Patriots' dominance.
That's nothing new. Go ask Bill Polian how his attempts to thwart the Pats by changing the rules worked.
We've heard it for awhile now buddy. The media sang the same tune of the Pats' run coming to and end two years ago before Manning came to town, and left, without a win. Finally, the media started to show some respect this past postseason but they took two steps backwards after the Pats' Denver loss.
Great. Time to prove them wrong,
again.
