Thursday Night's Dolphin Debacle

In a game that was never close, nor out of reach, the Chicago Bears triumphed to a 16-0 victory over the happless Miami Dolphins. With the win the Bears have now improved to 7-3 on the season, and are finally beginning to earn some much appreciated respect, while the Dolphins season seems to be heading in the wrong direction. Just one week ago, the Dolphins were plagued with injuries as both franchise-caller, Chad Henne, and Veteran QB, Chad Pennington, went down with serious injuries. Tyler Thigpen became the new starter and despite a fairly good showing during his time in Kansas City, Thigpen is not what one would call a viable option if the team is poised to make the playoffs. Not only is the Quarterback situation out of wack, but the play-calling was absolutely atrocious!!! The Dolphins, known for their heavy run game and strong defensive play, not to mention the re-inventors of the Wildcat formation, ran the ball just 13 times!!! While the defense seemed it couldnt get off the field allowing the Bears to run 70+ plays to Miami's 48. Ricky Williams, and Ronnie Brown combined for just 6 carries and 13 yards, Tyler Thigpen accumulated the remaining 7 carries, mainly broken plays. To make matters worse, Brandon Marshall, their star off-season acquisition went down with what seemed like a hamstring injury after just recieving 3 balls for 41 yards. On the other side of the ball, the Chicago defense was relentless, sacking Thigpen 6 times! Julius Peppers recording 3 sacks and the Bears held the Dolphins to just 1 third down conversion, and a total of just 187 yards!!! So my question to you is, are the Dolphins done? or are the Bears just that good? or a mixture of both, give me your thoughts!!!
