Once Marino returns, I think Miami is easily the
odds on favorite to go the Super Bowl.


I might even go out on a limb & say, IF Marino comes back....

I liked what I saw out of Indy...Harrison & Payton might be the next Montana/Young to RICE...

He's amazing!!!

Yeah the 'fins stuffed a Raider team that lacked confidence or had diffidence, perhaps it was the injuries, who really knows. The 'fins are the most overrated team in the NFL, probably because of coach Johnson. They're among the top 5 or 6 in the AFC but all these idiots giving them a Super Bowl appearance already is just too funny.

I agree Jax hasn't played anybody, but I would rate their D as good as anyone's. Unfortunately, I get to see it up close this week in Atlanta. One reason Miami was able to shut down the Raiders was Gannon's broken hand, wasn't it? From what I heard, Gannon overthrew several wide open receivers. I still think offense is going to win the AFC ticket this year. Everyone other than CIN has a D (IND and CLE are a bit shaky). I think youth at RB is huge in the NFL, and that's definitely an advantage for Miami.
