The Miami Dolphins were the surprise football team of the 2008 NFL regular season. After going 1-15 in 2007, they were literally the joke of the NFL and no one expected much more out of the team entering 2008.
At the last minute, the Dolphins decided to sign Chad Pennington, a quarterback who had been released from the Jets just days before. And boy, are they happy they did.
With Chad Pennington out the rest of the season, the Dolphins season seems to be over before it really began. It's hard to win in the NFL when you have uncertainties at the QB position.
The Dolphins rode the wave of enthusiasm into the 2009 season and expected big things out of an improved offense that would look to enjoy another successful football season.
Unfortunately, things started out on a discouraging note for the Dolphins. Having lost by 12 points to the Falcons in Atlanta was a tough blow to the team, despite the fact that Atlanta was the favorite to win the game. The Dolphins had still hoped for a better result. No team wants to score 7 points in its season opener.
The Dolphins are in a very tough division when you consider they have to play the New England Patriots and New York Jets twice a season. However, this division is up for grabs, even with Tom Brady back in action.
After week 3, the Dolphins looked like a hopeless team with an 0-3 record, having been 3 games behind the first place Jets. Suddenly, the Dolphins are now 2-3 and the Jets are 3-2, with the Dolphins only one game behind the Jets now.
It's a very long football season, and the Dolphins are well within the game. Chad Henne is a skilled quarterback who seems to look better every week. Maybe he'll surprise the NFL world like Pennington did last season.
