Imagine that headline! Is the perfect storm brewing? The game between the Miami Dolphins and New England Patriots on Dec. 23, could very well match a 14-0 team (Pats)with an 0-14 one (phins).
The facts..The Dolphins (0-13) are off to the third-worst start to a season in NFL history, joining Oakland (1962) and Indianapolis (1986). Miami, which hosts Baltimore next weekend, is one loss short of matching the 0-14 record set by Tampa Bay, as an expansion team in 1976, and New Orleans in 1980. Miami has lost 16 straight dating to last season, matching the eighth longest streak in NFL history.
The Patriots can become the first team since the 1972 Dolphins to finish a regular season undefeated; those Dolphins were 14-0, then won three postseason games for the NFL's only perfect season.
The fiction : The perfect storm might be brewing for the Dolphins to upset the Patriots on Dec 23rd! Granted, it defies all logic, all reason and all common sense. But "Any given Sunday" was said for a reason.
To the Miami Dolphins : Considering you have disappointed all your fan faithful this season, have ALL not justified your NFL salaries and need to stop hiding behind excuses about "new" coaches being to blame... MAN up, grow a pair of phins and beat the Patriots on December 23rd 2007. As the immortal Vince Lombardi once said "The difference between a successful person and others is not a lack of strength, not a lack of knowledge, but rather a lack of will." He also said "Success demands singleness of purpose" and you have that purpose...beat the Patriots on December 23rd 2007.
