3 times since 1970 has a team come from a one win season to have the kind of season they (Dolphins) have had…Parcells has now been involved in two of those seasons…hmmmm (Others = 97 Jets and 92 Colts)

Adam, different situation with the Falcons. Unlike the Chiefs, they are, for the most part, a veteran team with several good players. What happened to them last season was almost entirely the result of the Vick debacle. The fact that they were in a position to select the very best QB available to address their most glaring need and then turn right around in the second round and get a pretty good LT certainly helped them a lot. However, I will also give to you that they played free agency more aggressively (and I would say indeed better) than the Chiefs did. I personally don’t think the Falcons are built for the post-season at the point but they’re taking steps towards getting there. I see them continuing to be force in the future.

I have the same expectation for the Chiefs. Just not this season.

This has nothing to do with defending Edwards or anybody else for that matter except for maybe the team itself. One thing we both know to be true is that winning has a way of breeding more success. Unlike the Chiefs, the Dolphins had a much lighter schedule and the kind of stability at QB that better positioned them to win a few games early on and then build on the confidence that that no doubt created. For the exact opposite reasons, we never got into a position to get the ball the rolling like they did.
Also, I doubt very much that Miami views Sunday’s match-up as a garbage game. The Phins pretty much need to beat the Chiefs to stay in contention and to build up a little mo as they head into the Meadowlands to face the Jets for their regular season game.
