'Fins


The Miami Dolphins season ended yesterday. A first round playoff loss to the Baltimore Ravens is how they wrapped it up.

The Dolphins certainly looked like the less talented team yesterday in Miami. Particularly at the WR position where they literally had almost nothing. When an undrafted rookie out of Hawai'i is your best WR you're going to have some problems.

Ted Ginn Jr. continued his extremely mediocre pro career. He had five catches for 38 yards and a long of nine. In all fairness, Pennington was hounded by the Ravens' defense all day.

I think Teddy will get it together eventually and at least be a serviceable WR in the League. It seems doubtful at this point that he'll ever live up to being a top ten pick but it's still early.

More important then all that though, the Dolphins won ONE game last year. ONE game. They had a new head coach this season and they managed to win the AFC East ahead of the Patriots (obviously without Brady) and the Jets (obviously with Capt. INT).

Let me say this again, the Dolphins were playing a home playoff game yesterday one year after they had lost nearly all their games.

So why is it that the Cincinnati Bengals have had ONE winning season in the last 20 years? It's obviously not as hard to be successful as some people think.
