Good news lacking for Miami Dolphins

You have to look pretty far to find any good news from the Dolphins' 2007 season.Sure the team tied for the fewest penalties in the NFL with 73; was second in the AFC in time of possession at 31:19 per game; and fumbled the ball just 20 times, losing eight (the second fewest in the NFL).

But the bad news is, in the NFL, games are not decided by the number of penalties or time of possession.
Games are decided by the score.
Offensively, Miami finished 14th in the AFC in points per game with 16.7, ahead of only Buffalo (15. and Kansas City (14.1). Defensively, believe it or not, they were actually worse, allowing an AFC-high 27.3 points per game, good enough (actually bad enough) to finish 30th out of the 32 NFL teams.
At least Brandon Fields didn't have any punts blocked this past year.

It's got to be tough being in this kind of position. There's very little talent on this ball club, and most of the players who are worth a darn are getting up there in years. Parcells and Sparano definitely have their work cut out for them trying to turn this club into a winner.
