Call them crazy, but the Miami Dolphins remain optimistic they'll win a game this year - maybe even more than one.
Heck, the Dolphins say they might win Sunday against the Buffalo Bills. And they figure a single victory could trigger a turnaround in this sorrowful season.
"Our main focus is to get one," receiver Marty Booker said. "We feel if we get one, it's amazing what confidence will do. Everybody goes, 'Hey, we can get used to this,' and it snowballs. That's what we're looking for."
Miami is 0-8, halfway to the NFL's first 0-16 season, but this week's opponent provides a reminder of how quickly things can change. Five weeks into the season, the Bills were plagued by injuries, mired in a quarterback controversy and 1-4.
Buffalo has since won three games in a row.

A couple of comments that stood out to me...
"I've been extremely impressed with what Losman has done the last couple of weeks," Dolphins coach Cam Cameron said. "That will show you a little bit of what quarterback competition can do if handled the right way."
And once the Dolphins get a win, look out: A 2-14 finish becomes a real possibility.
