The <ST1:CITY><ST1LACE>Miami</ST1LACE></ST1:CITY> Dolphins knew the season was going to be tough when “that guy” (from here on out I refuse to mention his name) retired and left his team high and dry. Little did they know they would be down to their 4<SUP>th</SUP> RB option and 0-4 for the 1<SUP>st</SUP> time since 1966, their inaugural season. <O></O>
Their OL has not helped out much as the ground game is averaging 60 YPG on 2.7 YPC. Dave Wannstedt has bounced between starting QB who have been sacked a combined 12 times. In fact, there are 19 other RB in the league who have more yards rushing than <ST1:CITY><ST1LACE>Miami</ST1LACE></ST1:CITY> does as a team. <O></O>
Dave Wannstedt and Bill Belichick joined their respective teams in 2000 and since then the home team has covered 7 of the 8 meetings. <O></O>
NE is just grinding it out on a weekly basis and that has resulted in 18 straight wins covering last regular season and of course the post-season. I’d love to see this team roll through the season undefeated just to shut the ’72 Dolphins the hell up. <O></O>
This is also the Pats 1<SUP>st</SUP> home game since Week 1 so Gillette Stadium will be rocking with nearly 69,000 dressed in red, white and blue.<O></O>
