It is great that Miami finally got a win on the road but had this been any other team, I think it would have been a different decision. I mean lets face it, New Orleans is in hard shape. But the Dolphins did do some good things. Ricky and Ronnie were both in fine form and if it keeps up, the Fins should climb the stats ladder in rushing very quickly. I still have no confidence in Frerotte though. He continues to overthrow passes and did so numerous times at LSU. Hats off to Olindo for coming through in the clutch and kicking 4 through the uprights. It would have been better had they converted for 6 in the red zone on a few occasions but we will take it for now. The most important thing about this game was that Miami was supposed to win it and they did win it. Hopefully a clutch win at home this weekend will bring this team back to .500. CHEERS TO: A Dolphins win on the road and Olindo for his strong performance. ALLY’S ALL STAR DOLPHIN: MELANIE'S POST GAME QUOTE OF THE WEEK: "We should have put up some 7s instead of some 3s.

*Chris Chambers refering to the fact that they shouldn't have needed to rely so heavily on Mare to defeat a team that probably won't provide nearly the same challenge as Atlanta (5-2) this Sunday at Dolphins Stadium.
