Whodathunkit?!

My Miami Dolphins defeat The New England Patriots 33-20 on opening day?!?!

This after three horrific consecutive offensive series in the first half by the Dolphins that ended with turnovers?!?!

Color me amazed.

Yes, it is the first game in what will be a loooong season.  And, yes, the first half performance by the Dolphins was worrying.  And yes, Dolphin Quarterback Ryan Tannenhill’s accuracy was wobbly.  And yes, finally, it appeared the Florida heat really got to the New England players in the second half.

And yet, this is the first time in a very long time that the Dolphins put an opponent of such quality away well well before the final minutes of play.  It is the first time in a long time I’ve seen them rack up 23 points in their comeback win, all during the second half, while their opponent could do almost literally nothing.

We’ll see what happens next, but for today, and after way too, too many years of mediocrity or worse, I’m happy to be a Dolphin fan! 😉
