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.
No one expected much out of Pennington, and neither did the Jets. Somehow, Pennington led the Dolphins to an AFC division championship in 2008, bringing the Dolphins into the playoffs to the surprise of many.
Things looked promising for 2009, until the Dolphins lost their first three games. Things looked even worse, when during their third game, the team lost Pennington for the season.
Young and inexperienced second year QB Chad Henne was called upon to lead the team, which didn't really bode well for the Dolphins' chances.
Somehow, the Dolphins have won their last two games, and Henne was brilliant in his week 5 matchup vs. the New York Jets.
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.
On another note, I'm an expert when it comes to choosing a floor cushion and large floor pillows.
