We are now 1-3

With Chad Pennington done for the year the other Chad's first start was a steady, productive and workman-like day. Henne was 14 for 22 for 115 yards, no turnovers, and he threw his first NFL touchdown pass. The Dolphins dismembered the Bills 38-10 yesterday in the brutal South Florida heat and essentially ran the ball down their throat (250 yards on the ground worth) until the Bills couldn't take it anymore. The effective running game gave Henne the foundation to pick and choose his spots, thus turning in an effective passing day which, along with the Wildcat, was enough to keep the Bills defense dazed and confused.

The Dolphins defense played well and even had an effective pass rush which took some of the pressure off the secondary. The remaining schedule is not easy, but at least we are no longer winless and the players looked like they were feeling pretty good when they left the field yesterday at Land Shark stadium.
