Independent Journalism in Miami Needs You
We need to raise $10,000 by August 9 to support the reporting our community depends on. Reader support keeps us independent and is playing a larger role in funding local journalism and shaping what comes next. If you believe independent local journalism matters, make a contribution today.
The Dolphins home opener is tonight at Sun Life Stadium.
Everybody in the world is talking about the keys to the game. Can Chad Henne pass? Can Reggie Bush run? Can that damn defensive line get to that damn pretty boy… um, what’s his name… Brady?
Well, forget about it. Brady has beat us the past couple meetings, and the game before that was a miraculous comeback. Moreover, the Dolphins barely won at home last year. On the road, yes, but not en casa. And the line is Patriots by 4.
Sure, I would like to see Brandon Marshall clean up. And Jake Long, the big tackle, is finally back in action. And hey, they looked pretty good versus Carolina and the Cowboys. But that was the preseason.
So I am buying beer and hunkering down. What team do we play next week? The Texans. Maybe we can beat them.
Here’s the past record (from the Patriots’ perspective), or at least what I could gather of it.
