It was only week 1 and it was easy to overreact to how the Miami Dolphins performed on Sunday against the Indianapolis Colts. We heard all offseason long how this team was fixing the mistakes and was going to look like a new team. That was not the case as the same issues that have plagued the Dolphins for 4 seasons continues to be an issue. Play calls getting in late, players not lining up right, and players not knowing what they are supposed to be doing, all showed on Sunday. Heck, even Bradley Chubb admitted defensive players were making up their own stuff as Daniel Jones had a field day carving them up. Again it was week 1 and the Dolphins have a chance to rebound against the New England Patriots this upcoming Sunday. But if they lose that game in spectacular fashion again, watch out.
