We saw more good things from the team today. The defense looked better and held Buffalo to one TD and three field goals. Joey Porter terrorized QB Trent Edwards and got a sack for a safety. The Dolphins got four turnovers and only gave one back.
Special teams were not special but did what they needed to do. Pennington took advantage of a porous pass defense. Ted Ginn showed up and torched Buffalo CB McGee for 175 yards.
The running game did not look great, but Buffalo has a descent run defense. The Dolphins moved the ball enough to keep the Bills off balance.
Pennington should get the game ball for today. He played smart and took advantage of what the Bills gave him. He hit Ginn in stride several times for large gains. Some of Pennington's passes looked like wounded ducks, but to complete 70%+ of your passes for 314 yards is pretty good.
CBS commentator Rich Gannon was correct in saying that the Dolphins got more out acquiring Pennington than the Jets did in getting Brett Farve. Where would the Dolphins be without Pennington?
Next week, the Dolphins go to Denver. They are team that is hurting with multiple injuries. This is another chance for a win, but they need to play like they did today.
This team is still a work in progress - they are not playoff contenders yet. But you can tell they are headed in the right direction.

hi, Eagles fan here also into biking, need to do more. Visiting FLL next month, worth it to rent a bike along the beach? Also Christian and love to make new Christian friends. Kev
There are bike lanes along A1A that you can ride but not sure of any shops that rent road bikes. There are places that rent crusiers. If you want trail action try Oleta River State Park in North Miami. They have good MTBs for rent.
