I just have to say a fw things because some of you are totally writing the dolphins off, while some others of you are actually giving us a fair assessment.
Here is what I think. Yes, Ben was not playing. But that doesnt' take away from their defense, and batch isn't a moron, he's still in the NFL for a reason, and the steelers grabbed him for a reason. Batch did not beat us... the Steelers beat us. And Miami lost to the superbowl champions. Did I expect them to win this game? No.... Did I want them to win the game... obviously.
As far as Culpepper goes, I think he is going to do well. But That was his first real game back from a major knee injury, on primetime TV, against the defending superbowl champs, who have a very good defense. Does that excuse the way he played.... absolutely not, he missed some easy passes. But I think he is only going to be better as he begins to feel more comfortable, and the oline gets a little better then they were Thursday.
You don't win every game (besides 72 phins). I think that was a pretty sloppy game from both teams. It was the first time the starters have gone teh distance and weren't out of the game by half time. It was a sloppy game by both teams... more so by the phins, but sloppy by both none the less.
I know it's easy to write off the phins and culpepper because you are bills fans, I'd probably do the same to the bills if I saw them struggling, like last year. But don't be suprised if Miami does better then you think.
