What A Difference A Year (And No Tom Brady) Makes: Miami Dolphins 38 New England Patriots 13

What A Difference A Year (And No Tom Brady) Makes: Miami Dolphins 38 New England Patriots 13

Take away one player, and the coach's ability to cheat by stealing signals, thus knowing what play the opposition is going to call ahead of time; and suddenly the New England Patriots Vs. the Miami Dolphins match up turns around 180 degrees.

How bad is it for the Patriots? They hadn't lost a regular season game since 2006, ironically enough, to the Dolphins. The Dolphins, on the other hand, by winning this single game against New England, have matched their total wins of last years entire season. The Dolphin came up just short of having two running backs get 100 yards or more. Ricky Williams needed 3 yards for 100. Ronnie Brown had 135 yards and 4 running touchdowns, plus a passing touchdown as icing on the cake.

And what can you say about those Patriot fans? As their team was going in for halftime, down 21-6, they booed the team that has given them several Superbowls, a perfect regular season record last year, and a 21 game winning streak.

One can't help but get the feeling, they're going to be doing a lot more booing all season. Maybe they'll do better when Tom Brady gets back next season. And who knows? Maybe Coach Belichick will have found another way to cheat by then.

Why is he still allowed to coach? The whitewashing job by the NFL and the national sports media on that matter is embarrassing and shameful. The Patriots are dirty and they deserve the all the spankings they can get.

Jags Win!

The Jaguars won with a lat minute 51 yard field goal to upset the Colts. This week is already looking great!

The AFC East is the Powderpuff Division

The Patriots only look that good because of the other teams in their division. Say what you want about the Jets, Dolphins, and Bills being better this year, their records over the past few years show that they have offered little competition to the Patriots. With the Superbowl loser's curse, New England will be lucky to make the playoffs this season. My money has it coming down to Buffalo vs. New York for the division title, so long as they all stay healthy, but I don't see the division winner winning more than 10 games. I am a Cowboys fan (and have been since 1978), so my opinion of the AFC is a little biased, but I don't see the Patriots having nearly as good of a regular season record if the played in the NFC East and had to play the Cowboys, Giants, Eagles, and Redskins twice a year. DO YOU HAVE THE WRITE STUFF?

Could've been a real day of upsets

The Bengals came close to upsetting the Giants... last year's Super Bowl teams could have both lost to lesser opponents the same day. Though the Dolphins are a lot "lesser," especially considering their record last season.

Woohooo.

Go FISH!
