Baltimore Ravens defeat Miami Dolphins 27-9 posted on 01/04/2009
It was a bitter end. The 2008 Miami Dolphins unexpected ride on the road to the Super Bowl came to a quick end at the hands of the Baltimore Ravens. When the clock reached triple zeroes, the Fins were on the losing end of a 27-9 slaughter.

Ed “Just hand me my Hall of Fame Jacket now” Reed was the recipient of a couple of Chad Pennington’s interceptions, returning one for touchdown. Reed’s 64-yard pick-six in the second quarter put the Ravens up 10-3, which would have been good enough on the day the Fins coughed it five times after only giving up 13 turnovers all season.

Miami made it interesting with a late fourth quarter Pennington TD pass to Ronnie Brown. However, after previously limiting the Raven’s offense to a couple of three and outs, the Fins defense failed to halt a Ravens game sealing touch down march.

Breaking News! Danica Patrick caught speeding! Seriously. posted on 01/03/2009
     IndyCar racer, Danica Patrick has a couple of speeding tickets.  How is this even a story?  The Associated Press reported that she paid for $196 fine for a recent ticket and that it is among several she has had in the past three years. 
    Again, how is this a story?  A racer car driver speeding is as much a surprise as poker player…gasp…gambling!  Or worse, finding a basketball player balling it up in some underground pick up game.  C’mon!
    It would be more of a story if Danica had a clean driving record.

Wild Card Prediction posted on 01/03/2009

    The AFC East Champion Miami Dolphins have not shown any team dominance over the last few games of the season and find themselves playing the underdog role against the Baltimore Ravens.  The Ravens come into Dolphins Stadium after securing the last playoff spot with a win against the Jacksonville Jaguars. 
    Neither team have explosive offenses, favoring a steady march downfield with the occasional missed tackle for a big gain format, so do not expect either quarterback to be flinging it.  While the Ravens employ a more traditional running game, the Dolphins will utilize more short passes and misdirection to gain yardage. 
    It is the almighty defense that will decide the game.  The Ravens Ray Lewis and Ed Reed are game changers.  Their experience dismantled the Dolphin’s Wildcat formation when they met in Week 7 with the Ravens prevailing 27-13.  The Dolphin’s sack leader, Joey Porter, should expect little pass rushing opportunities but many chances for tackles as the Ravens are expected to run on his side of the field.

Miami Dolphins capture AFC East title posted on 12/30/2008
In an improbable year, the biggest story in the NFL continues.  The Miami Dolphins went from winning only one game last season to capturing the AFC East title by handling the New York Jets a home defeat. 

Even with the Jets season collapsing, Miami could not put the game away until the end of the fourth quarter.  A year with so many close games, Miami needs to be able to put away their opponents.  Their defense did not force those turnovers but were lucky to have had Bret Favre in panic mood.  His throws were sloppy and inaccurate. 

Fortunately, the Dolphins begin their playoff run hosting the Baltimore Ravens.  Ranking near the bottom of the league in pass offense, the Ravens are 4th in rushing which plays into the Dolphins run stop defense.

Pennington returns to New York posted on 12/22/2008

    What more could you ask for?  Down to the last game of the season, Miami Dolphins quarterback Chad Pennington heads back to New York for what literally is the AFC East title game against his former team the New York Jets.  Jets opted for the unretired Bret Favre over what many considered a weak armed Pennington during the offseason.  Pennington who had spent his entire career with the Jets found himself playing his 9th season with division rivals Dolphins.  A team that went 1-15 in 2007 but were in the middle of management shake up with new GM Bill Parcels and first year head couch Tony Sparano.
    Now the stage is set.  A win would continue two of the best stories this NFL season, that of the Miami Dolphins and Chad Pennington.
