<<It's amazing how much more effective Tony Martin was with the Falcons and Chris Chandler than he is now with Marino and the Fins.>>

LOL.....I think Chandler had a guy named Anderson behind him, didn't he? By the way, how is that Falcon deep game this year.

I will admit that Marino has not made the best of decisions, but if you look a bit closer you will see that he has not had the best protection since the Denver game (regular starting RG Mark Dixon has not played since late in the Denver game) and the running game right now is trying to find itself. Arizona and Buffalo are not exactly the best teams to try and run against.

Re: Dixon.....the Miami coaches said he was their BEST offensive lineman last year. Not trying to make excuses, but Gogan (who is filling in for Dixon) has said that he hates playing LG and had a horrible week of practice prior to the Buffalo game. It showed in the Monday nighter. On the Marino fumble, guess who didn't even touch his man? Gogan. The guy is a Pro Bowl RG, but he leaves a lot to be desired at RG.

Marino looked great against Denver. I certainly didn't hear any negative comments about him after that game.

<<Dan Marino looks worse every time I see him.>>

Tom, would you like to retract that statement after today's performance?

By the way, for those that missed it:

Dan Marino 25-38, 393 yards, 2 TD's, 0 INT
