Bittersweet.

After the way the Bucs played the week prior against Green Bay, I was very worried about this game. Yes, I still knew that, all things being equal, we SHOULD beat the Bucs. However, a team that has new-found confidence plus nothing to lose is as dangerous an opponent as there is.

As I'm sure many of you did, when Chad Henne threw that especially bad interception with about 1:45 left in the 4th, I erupted in enough profanities to make a sailor blush. It was a throw that you just don't make. You HAVE to see that defender there. There was NO excuse for it and it was 100% Henne's fault. But goodness gracious, did he make up for it or what?

Needless to say, I think we have our long-time future at QB. Henne responded like a great quarterback and leader would, leading his team down the field with the help of Davone Bess (one of the most underrated WRs in the league) and a clutch run by Ricky Williams, who was filling in for Ronnie Brown (more on him/that in a bit).

It was a big win for a number of reasons. One, it was a comeback. Two, Henne was able to bounce back from a late crucial mistake. Three, it keeps us alive in the playoff hunt and lastly, both the Patriots and Jets lost and to make it sweeter, both lost in a way that rips their fans hearts out (and in the case of the Jets, makes their head coach cry). Mmmmmm let me taste those tears, Rex.

Moving forward, it appears that the answer to "What can Brown do for you?" will apparently be nothing at all, at least on Thursday night against the Panthers. Despite the fact that we still have Ricky, this is a huge blow as Ronnie is the Dolphins best player and BY FAR their biggest play-maker on offense.

My solution: give Ricky as much magical mary jane as is necessary, because he'll need to smoke the Panthers defense for us to win. Errick "Ricky" Lynne Williams, Jr is going to have to channel the Ricky of old for us on Thursday night, and the Marley magic will help towards that goal.

Smoke 'em if you got 'em.
