Falcons 6 Dolphins 17 Although not outstanding by any measure, that performance gave me a much better feeling heading into the season.

Game Review: Pre-season Week 1 @ New York Giants

Dolphins 27 (1-0) Giants 10 (0-1) I created a system to grade players via film study using statistics that I’ve either invented myself, borrowed from other football enthusiasts, or some combination of the two.
