Miami 20 – Houston 27
Dolphins Chick is sick. Really. Not just sick because of the Dolphins, but sick.
This is going to be a short column this week. Not really a lot worth saying, anyway.
Hit It: Lex Hilliard. Lex, I think you’re the only guy I’m going to pat on the back this week. You played a full game. You’re probably the only guy who could say that on Sunday. Passing game: 9 catches (the most by any Dolphin), 74 yds , 1 TD. Running game: 3 carries, 12 yards, and 1 TD. Not a bad game, rookie.
Week 16, Miami vs. Houston: Failure! Mission Aborted!
Miami 20 - Houston 27
Houston, we have stop! Critical Failure! The Miami Dolphins will not launch themselves into the playoffs. Instead, they’ll remain grounded. Mission aborted!
What a digusting 1st half of football! Miami gave up over 300 yards to Houston’s offense, allowing Schaub to connect on 14 of 18 passes, 247 yards, and 2 TDs. The Miami offense gained only 107 yards, and the running game was never established. The Dolphins defense was sleeping like Rip Van Winkle….(that’s a really long time). We went down 27-0, and trailed at the half 27-3. I was ready to go spend my afternoon doing something other than watching my team lose. But, I decided to give the Dolphins some time to turn it around.
Week 16, Miami vs. Houston: Houston, We Have A Problem!
Okay, first off, let me state that I put off writing this piece. I wanted to savor every bit of my Christmastime by pushing aside the thought that the Dolphins had a football game to play on Sunday. Oh, I had all kinds of fun. I was wrapped in comfort and joy. I was showered with blessings. I even snagged a bargain yesterday on a pair of gray cords. But that was yesterday. Today is a whole ‘nother ball game! Suddenly, my hands are shaking, my head is spinning, and my heart is racing. My french toast is turning about in my stomach. The Dolphins are playing a game today. Oh my! Houston, we have a problem!

Miami 24 – Tennessee 27
Hit It: Pat White! He played and he didn’t kill any drives. Speechless.
Quit It: Lousaka Polite. He missed for the first time all year on third and short. We ended up kicking a 45 yard field goal. I don’t think it was his fault. The Dolphins weren’t ready and nearly had a delay of game situation just before snapping the ball. Chalk this one up to Chad Henne. I feel like letting Sparano off the hook.
Week 15, Miami vs. Tennesse: Game Over!
Dolphins 24 – Titans 27.
Overtime losses are always so hard to swallow. I really don’t want to talk about this game. They were down, they were up, and they were down again. And so went my heart. Football stinks. Let’s be realistic. It’s game over for this season and any playoff hopes. I guess I was crazy to even entertain the notion that if we made the playoffs anything would be different this year. The tradition of late for Miami is making the playoffs only to be utterly embarrassed in the first round. So, really, it’s no big loss, right? Bah!
