The Miami Dolphins are 2008 AFC East Champions. That will not change, and that remains the bottom line. Regardless, a game like this does put into perspective that more changes will have to be made to take the next step next year, a sad reality considering just how meaningful this team and season was. Chad will be back, but he will not always be perfect. Real decisions on likable guys will be made. Leadership, age, salary, and productivity will all be a part of the decision making process.
As far as Sunday's effort, it takes nothing away from the season. Though I was upset that we got beat at our own game again, very similarly to the first Raven matchup, I was proud of the fight that this team showed in the 2nd half. They wanted it and are hungry for more next year. Unfortunately, though, it just wasn't our day; breaks that we got the whole season just weren't there for us. As the clock was winding down, it was very difficult to confront the reality that this magical year had to end. The 2008 Miami Dolphins really deserve an ovation, and I will remember this season forever. Even though it is over, it will always remain a part of all of us who bleed aqua and orange.
Cam Cameron might have been victorious, but no thanks to him. Despite the point total, our defense was great. It just wasn't our day. Kudos to the Ravens D, who I could easily see making a Super Bowl run, for knocking Chad and the Fins O off their game. Ricky, Ronnie, Patrick, Teddy, Devone, Jake, Chad - everybody fought, but it was too little too late.
