The Miami Dolphins were the feel good story of the 2008 NFL season. The team finished with a 1-15 regular season record in 2007, and was written off as quite possibly the worst football team of the decade.
The 09' season for the Miami Dolphins has been nothing like 08'. Statistically, Chad Pennington is the most accurate passer of all-time. While he might not have the "big arm", he finds his receivers when they are open.
With Chad Pennington out the rest of the season, the Dolphins season seems to be over before it really began. It's hard to win in the NFL when you have uncertainties at the QB position.
Things looked promising for 2009, until the Dolphins lost their first three games. Things looked even worse, when during their third game, the team lost Pennington for the season.
Young and inexperienced second year QB Chad Henne was called upon to lead the team, which didn't really bode well for the Dolphins' chances.
The Dolphins are in a very tough division when you consider they have to play the New England Patriots and New York Jets twice a season. However, this division is up for grabs, even with Tom Brady back in action.
After week 3, the Dolphins looked like a hopeless team with an 0-3 record, having been 3 games behind the first place Jets. Suddenly, the Dolphins are now 2-3 and the Jets are 3-2, with the Dolphins only one game behind the Jets now.
The Dolphins' Week 2 match-up wasn't much better, as a disheartening loss during the last minutes of the game dropped the team to 0-2. The Colts are a tough opponent, but the Dolphins needed that win badly. Better luck next week perhaps? - 30542
