Just curious here.. who did Pittsburgh beat to get to 3-1? before the Browns

You know, I think doug might have something here.  Miami still has two
games each against the flacid Pats, Jets and Colts...and if they are a
legit contender, they should beat Houston, Buffalo and the Raiders at
home.  That leaves only two away games at SF and NO.
Hmmmm....naaaaahh!!!  Hey! Maybe Rob's right...continuing the string of
unbelievable upsets, the Pats take the Fins into O.T. and kick the
winning field goal after a guy in a small bulldozer comes onto the
field and plows the Miami defense six feet under!!! 
*chuckle*
Sorry, Rob...not this week...I'm afraid only an act of God will help
the Pats...hmmmm....perhaps another hurricane???
At any rate, good luck to both teams and let's hope my Giants can
de-horn them damn Rams!!! (you Giant fans know what I mean...the Rams
give 'em fits)

GAME SUMMARY
The Broncos were licked this week.  The biggest problem rests with the
offensive line.  Washington sacked Denver 5 times.  The offensive line
played very poorly and this is the reason for the poor rushing and 
passing displayed by the Broncos.  Elway is a great quarterback but
nobody can win if he has NO pocket ever,  and has NO time to throw the
ball.  Elway just walked on and off the field and you could see the
dissapointment each time.  Hats off to Washington, their secondary did
a good job and their offense finnally clicked this season.  I can see
no point in summarizing the game.

NEWS ITEMS
Art Monk (Wash) passes Steve Largent for all-time receptions (820!). Grats!
Tommy Maddox (Denver's QB future) becomes the youngest player (21) to throw a
      pass in the NFL since Elmer Angsman (Chi. Cardinals) passed in 1946.
Goe Gibbs' first regular season victory against Denver (1-2).
Shannon Sharpe (TE- Yes TE!) continued to look good this week.

OTHER NOTES

P= Touchdown Pass Thrown
T= Touchdowns Scored

Date: 8 Oct 92 10:32:32 EDT
Organization: Wesleyan University

   I think the first thing to realize is that 4 SB appearances with a 3-1
record in one decade is not something to groan at.  The scheduling is designed
to make a Superbowl champion have the toughest time of the next season,
emotionla factors all work against the champs, every coach in the business
spends extra time reviewing your game plan, and players miss training camp. 
Add all of that to playing in the toughest division in the game today, and the
fact that the 'Skins have been so good for so long is surprising.
   Think about this -- Gibbs hasn't had a superstar QB since Theismann got
injured.  Yet every year the 'Skins are able to give teams with Cunningham,
Montana, Moon, Elway, Kelly, Simms (who's no slouch), and Aikman good, tough
fights.  Gibbs' coaching has, for ten years, kept Washington at a level where
any team in the NFL gets nervous when facing them.

   Washingtonitis isn't choking -- it's having elevated expectations because
the Redskins have ALWAYS been able to do well.

In case anyone missed it the Dolphins rallied in the 4th quarter to
beat the hapless Falcons at JRS yesterday to become the only
undefeated team left in the NFL. The Falcons gave them quite a struggle
through three and a half quarters but when the Dolphins needed it the
team came through as a team. For the second straight week the defense
scored on an interception return for a TD. Vestee "toast" Jackson got
the honors on this one. The Falcons receiver was on a square out pattern
and Vestee just stepped in front of him and it was hasta la vista baby.
That int. fired up a previously sleeping offense to go ahead and take
the next posession all the way for a Mark Higgs 1 yard sweep around right
end for the clincher.

On the day Mark Higgs scored two TD's, both running, and Dan Marino failed
to throw a TD pass. Normally when Dan doesn't toss any TD's the Phins
don't win but he didn't need to yesterday d8~) .

I watched this game at a local pub in San Jose called San Jose Live. If
there's any net.dolphins.fans in the San Jose area this is the place to
catch the games. There were ar least 30 of us crowded around the modest 25"
screen, all hooting and hollering for the Phins. It was a great time. I'll
be going there for every game that isn't televised locally this year. They
also have every other game in the NFL on as well. With 8 satellite dishes
and 31 TV sets, they carry `em all.

Anyway, congrats to my Phins for winning a game they played poorly in and
keeping the streak alive for one more week. Oh and congrats also to the
LA Raiders for exposing the Bills, and for KC's thumping of Philly. I had
an all around great football weekend again, another Canes win and a Phins
win, both are 5-0 ALRIGHT!

other plays defense from mars like nobody has seen since '85, and they are
both Dallas's arch-rivals (help me out here Dallas fans (I know, thats irony)
are there *any* teams you go after it more than with these two?  Maybe NY, I

1.  I don't think it's necessary to post a Dolphins song, because, when the Super
Bowl rolls around, they won't feel like singing.. They'll feel more like
using the sick bags on the airplane on the way back from their playoff loss...


2.  Anyway, if the Dolphins go below 8-8 anytime soon, the fans would forget the 
words.

3.  Also, if they ever do make a song, it better be very easy to sing, because
the fans in the stands can't handle anything more complex- like Twinkle, Twinkle
Little Star, perhaps? :)

Continual drubbing of the Bills will bring continuous retorts in return!

(Oh, I'm sorry, #2 and #3 only apply to dumb Miami fans that try to write a
 sarcastic song about the Bills, but fail miserably. You should spend more
 time on the toilet. Then you probably wouldn't be so bloated.)

How can these Boy's be the best in football I mean there good and 
all that but they haven't even proven best in Tejas yet!!!

How many times have Oilers beaten the Boy's in a row, they did last
year in Preseason and during the regular year and also this year
not once but twice in Pre-season.. Oilers are BEST in TEJAS and
in AFC central.. and AFC and NFL.. Boy's will be Boy's but they
should come in nicely at second place a only show once again that
They aren't Best in Tejas...

Does there exist a CD on which it is recorded? There are shops in Germany

Please all you Dolphins fans outside help me, it shall be a christmas present.

Huh?  I'm not sure what your point is.  Are you agreeing with me or 
not?  I never said that NFL franchises aren't competative businesses.  
I said they aren't competing against each other financially.  Of 
course they're competative businesses - I've already addressed that.  
They're competing against other forms of entertainment.

BTW, I have a personal rule that if I ever have to say "I've already 
addressed that" (or words to that effect) in a message, it's my last 
message in that thread.  So I'm otta here unless you people who are 
trying to prove me wrong can come up with something new.
