My money is still on Oakland having that honor next April.

I think some gamblers are very depressed this morning.

Slight comfort, I guess. Looks like it's time to start paying attention to draft projection sites.

Not to be a Monday Morning Quarterback but I think the Phins shouldn't have thrown the ball on that 3rd and 2 before the FG attempt. If they hand the ball off to Brown they probably pick up the first down, call time out, and they still have over 30 seconds to get closer for Mare.

There were two or three situations where they should have called a run play. It shouldn't have come down to Mare, especially given his declining accuracy over the past couple of years.

I really hope the Dolphins get a new kicker in the offseason, maybe on the second day of the draft. And suddenly I'm not so opposed to bringing Randy Moss in.

I don't think receiver is their weak spot.

I used to think that, but the amount of missed catches and dropped balls is amazing.

Derek Hagan--you know, the same guy who holds the Pac-10 reception record--dropped a major catch that might've won us the game. And I mean dropped: he had it in his hands, and then he just sort of let go, like the ball was hot to the touch or something. He's a good route runner, but I can't believe this is the same guy who set that record.

Then you've got Chambers, who makes the hard catches look easy and the easy catches look hard. Booker hasn't been too great this season either. The only guy doing anything is Welker, and I'm afraid he's either going to wear out or get injured at this rate.

I'm at the point where I've written the season off and want to see all the rookies start just to see what they've got. And I'd be very happy bringing in Moss in a trade involving a pick or two and Booker, making him the #1 WR, and demoting Chambers to #2.

I just don't see Al Davis giving up his star player.

Neither do I, but I certainly would not be opposed to a deal. This team's receivers are not as good as advertised.

... Man, I complain a lot. Thanks for putting up with it.

I went through the same frustration in 1995 with the Pats when they were the pre season media darlings. Then they bounced back the following year with a Super Bowl trip. I'm not saying you should expect them to make that big of a leap in 2007 but don't get too down on them either.

Given the salary cap hell Wannstache left us in, I don't expect much of anything anymore. I hope we can trade down in the draft, because I doubt we've got the money to pay a top five pick anything.

I think what happens is you get teams who aren't as good or as bad as their records indicate.

The biggest surprise to me was Tampa over Cincy. Even though the Bucs still have a good defense I never thought they'd be able to hold Cincy to 13 points especially since the Bengals were coming off a bye.

Maybe Cincy was overlooking Tampa and was preparing for Carolina? they have them this week at home.

That was a big loss for them because their schedule is going to get very rough. The Steelers are right back into that NFC north race.

The Bills are one of those teams that can play well one week and then just fall apart the next.
