Christmas Edition of NFL Monday Night Football

December 22, 2006 at 8:12 am (Uncategorized)

Inconsistency. Inconsistency. Inconsistency.

Yep, I couldn’t stress that even further. After shutting down the New England Patriots the week before, these somewhat inconsistent Miami Dolphins were shut down themselves by the Buffalo Bills.

Jeez… It’s the Buffalo Bills for crying out loud. A storied team like the Miami Dolphins shouldn’t be beaten like that by a team whose only true football icon is O.J. Simpson. C’mon!

Yep, the Buffalo Bills blew the Miami Dolphins away, 21-0, throwing Miami’s playoff chances out the window. Of course, you can bet yer ass the Dolphins didn’t appreciate being eliminated from the playoffs at all.

And yeah, Miami Dolphins head coach Nick Saban saw it coming too.

A night before last Sunday’s game, Dolphins coach Nick Saban stood in front of his players with a message. It wasn’t necessarily intended for any specific player or unit. However, cornerback Andre Goodman knew better.

The words about consistency and reliability were certainly meant for his ears.

”If you’re going to be a good cornerback, then you have to be a good shutdown corner on every play,” Saban told them, as Goodman recalled Sunday. ”Not just certain games, certain plays. Every game, it has to be that way.”

As for their Monday Night Football rivals, the New York Jets, they just won their eight win of the NFL Football season, beating the tough Minnesota Vikings 26-13.

The New York Jets are making quite a strong stand at the right time and they are definitely looking strong as the hold on to that wild card playoff berth in the AFC.
