Wouldn't it be fitting?

After the Raiders burned us like the diarrhea in Derrick Mason's colon, I basically started to prepare myself mentally that these Dolphins could go winless this year. Miami has now finished the "easy" part of the schedule and since they're 0-6, the chance of going winless has improved dramatically, much like the size of Eric Mangini's breasts.

Well, SI's Don Banks has also noticed this and Banks also sees 0-16 as a very possible outcome. And on NBC, Chris Collinsworth was talking about how great the Patriots have been and how they could possibly run the table and take bragging rights away from the '72 Dolphins and that basically sets up a very gut-raping scenario.

The Pats beat Indy November 4th and keep playing at this mind blowing level all the way to an undefeated season. The Dolphins fail to win the only "winnable" remaining games on their schedule (at home against Buffalo and the Jets) and finish winless. The '72 Dolphins get company in the record books while the 2007 Dolphins become the worst team in NFL history. Oh man, fuck me in the liver...

I know that the season still has a long way to go and that a lot can still happen. I also know that the odds of a team going winless and a team going undefeated are very small and that the possibility of both happening in the same season is about as big as finding any humor in Dane Cook's stand up routine...but still. The chance is there and it's the type of irony that could make me give up on sports forever.

Either way, things have come so far that the Browns are raping us in the eye. I could sit here and say that 3 of the losses have come by a field goal and that we're a few bounces away from being 3-3...but the reality is that we're 0-6. Excuses are pathetic and for douchebags like Eric Mangini. Fuck Eric Mangini.

Speaking of pathetic, nice of our defense to take the week off again. Don't worry fellas, Braylon Edwards and Kellen Winslow don't need to be covered. Covering players are for teams that actually care about winning. And no, don't tackle the third string running back either. Tackling is gay..

The only bright spot remains Ronnie Brown. Brown continues to kick ass and watching him run is pure joy. One of the CBS announcers said that Brown is as close as there is to L.T. right now and I have to agree. The way he abused those Cleveland defenders was a thing of beauty.

Well, 0-6 is in the books. Next week the Patriots come to Miami and they will have a chance to actually score 100 points. I'm convinced that New England could put 100 on us if they wanted to. I seriously can't wait to see what line Vegas will put up on that one...

This is depressing...Cam'ron needs to let John Beck gets his feet wet...although the Pats are probably not the best team to do that against...

Dave said...

I say start Beck as soon as possible...start Ginn and start Jason Allen.

Really, what do we have to lose?? Will Allen be so much worse than Cameron Worrell???

We're heading towards that first overall pick so we need to know what the draft strategy is going to be.

I'll be honest: I don't see the Dolphins going winless in 2007. The AFC East is so horrible from second place down that I can't believe you won't beat either Buffalo or New York once.

Now St. Louis, on the other hand -- there's a team with 0-16 potential!

Dave said...

St. Louis has Bulger and Steven Jackson coming back so that might help them..

New York and Buffalo are done, but the Jets usually own us and Buffalo is never an automatic win for Miami.

And let's not even talk about the remaining schedule. New England twice, at Philly, at Pittsburgh, in London against the Giants and finish up with the Ravens and Bengals. Mother of God...

I knew crap had hit the fan when faced with the possibility of starting Jason Wright, Derek Anderson and Braylon Anderson on my fantasy football team and didn't even bat an eyelash...

I've got zero confidence in our defenses ability to stop anyone.

On a brighter note, we could be one of those teams that goes from 2-14 to 11-5 in one season (especially if we continue to put up points).
