The relationship between Cameron and the players has been ugly the past two weeks, bordering on almost mutiny. You know that Jason Taylor, last season's Defensive Player of the Year, would rather retire than spend another season with Cameron in Miami. Ditto for injured Zach Thomas. <span style="font-size: 9pt; font-family: Arial"><font face="Tahoma"><font size="2"></div></font></font></span><o:p></o:p></font></font></span></div>

Those Bucs were 0-14. Miami has Baltimore, New England and Cincinnati left. Maybe they can beat the Bengals, but I wouldn't count on it. Miami should clean house. One suggestion would be to hire Marty Schottenheimer. We all know Marty can right the ship and get the Dolphins back to respectability. The other notable option would be former Steelers coach Bill Cowher, who says he wants to be unemployed for one more season. Miami owner Wayne Huizenga would be smart to hire either one. You can bet former coach Don Shula would recommend them both. <span style="font-size: 9pt; font-family: Arial"><font face="Tahoma"><font size="2"></div></font></font></span></font></span></p>

The 2 games I've seen it looks like Taylor is mailing it in. Somehow, If Zach were healthy enough, he'd be out there. I think they decided to be merciful & keep him on the shelf through this ordeal. I'd <u>almost</u> rather have the vanilla one back before Marty.</font></span></font></span></p>

    <p align="left"><font face="Tahoma" size="2"><div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'>Veteran defensive linemen Keith Traylor and Vonnie Holliday each wondered if some of their teammates had given up as the Jets scored 30 unanswered points.</font></p>
    <p align="left"><font face="Tahoma" size="2">Holliday, a 10-year veteran, said he sensed his teammates stopped giving maximum effort for the first time this season.</font></p>
    <p align="left"><font face="Tahoma" size="2">"Up until this point I felt like the will of the team, the character of this team has been so strong," he said. "In all situations you fight and you fight hard. Today it seems like we lost a little bit of that."</div></font></p>

    <font color="#993300">If I were to assign blame a majority would go to Wanny & Spielman for (quoting from Office Space) being no talent ass clowns. A bit to JJ for insisting Wayne hire Dave. Some to Wayne for Hiring Dave and Nick. Some to Cameron for not hiring an OC to do at least day to day management. Cam could still call the plays. Alot to Capers for totally effing up the D this season. I read that he has played Joey P as a hands down DE & a little @ DT. </font></p>

    Dolphins will beat the Patriots. It's destiny... It will be the high point of their 1 - 15 season. Just like when the 1 - 15 Cowboys beat the Redskins in Aikman's rookie year.</p>

    Yeah. Thats it. The phins are playing the ultimate game of possum. Now, watch out. Here come those who think its them against the world.</p>

    If so, Merry Christmas bA, Beef, & Dale. All I want for Christmas is... Well this is a family site. WOOOOOOOOOOOOO!</p>

    I floated the analogy of the 89 Cowboys & 07 Dolphins past my friends; I guess it was too deep for them.</p>

    I truly believe Beck will raise the Lombardi Trophy before Alex Smith.</p>

    normally I'd agree that the Dolphins will beat the Pats... but this year, the Pats are going for the perfect record and actually have something to play for... but if the phins somehow actually win the game, then yes.... it is fixed lol</p>
