Dolphins

If we can some how pull off a win against the Bretts, that would be awesome. Either way this is a great start to a rebuilding team and Im excited about the future.

Keep it rolling phins, the jets will eventually run out of miracles..

They'll have to beat the Jets in Week 17 to pull it off, or hope that Baltimore somehow loses twice.

Sparano should definitely get COTY. Mike Smith should rightfully get some consideration because the Falcons were ass last year too, but if you take a team that was 1-15 the previous year into the playoffs, you're coach of the year in my book.

Though I think if the Patriots wind up in the playoffs, Belichick will probably get it again.

I think it's going to come down to that game in the Meadowlands and I hate to say this but I don't like the Fins chances if that's the case.

COTY? I think Mike Smith of Atlanta will get however if the Fins can possibly pull off the impossible in my book and win the division, then Sparano may get it.

I agree that the jets have more talent than the phins and should win, but most teams the phins have faced have the same or superior talent and somehow the phins come out on top..One game (do or die) for a playoff spot, I think any dolphin fan would have taken that after last season. Sparano already has COTY in the bag.

Maybe if they gave it to Patrick Cobbs more they would have an easier time winning.

Any doubt Sporano is coach of the year?

Dolphins win out they get the wild card?

If they win out they get the division.

For a three game improvement on a team that's a couple of years removed from a Super Bowl? No thanks. I'll take the rookie head coach who put a 1-15 team into playoff contention with Chad Pennington running the show.

I would like the Fins chances better if that game were played in Miami vs NY in the winter. Don't get me wrong though...I'm extremely excited about the fins play this season-they are winning games they used to lose and they're in the hunt...I even allow myself to fantasize them winning the east.....from worst to first! But I also try to be realistic....they lost a game to the Jets earlier in the season...right now, the Jets seem to have Miami's number....that's why I can't see a victory in the meadowlands at the end of the month.

IMHO...only if the the Dolphins win the AFC East. Otherwise, it's the Atlanta coach.

Miami could have and should have won that game...Not sure if you remember the hail mary throw from farve on 4th down for a TD (even with that it came down to the final play of the game)...Jets defenatly. have the talent but have you seen them the last 2 weeks? They seem to play down to their opponents skill level.

Yes *cringe* that was terrible and I agree....Miami could've/should've won that game after all that....that's why I'm not so high on the Fins chances in the Meadowlands....but I could be wrong...I hope I'm wrong in this case.

Dolphins should have won that Jets game as well as the Texans game. We still have to go to KC and take care of business. One good thing to note is that the Jets have to travel all the way to Seattle then back to NY for the following week. I really long for both teams to win this week for the AFC showdown. I think the Dolphins have a good chance even playing in NY. I think the Defense needs to get on Favre early and often. And most importantly instead of trying to sack him low, grab his arms and alter his throws if you can't get the sack. Defense will be the difference in the game. Jets defense has been playing well as well and I have been less than impressed with the Dolphins offense in the 2nd half. It seems we come out on fire, then just lose offensive momentum coming back for the 2nd half.
