You play to win this game and if possible, influence opponent's mindset for the next one. If you can step on the throat of a division opponent, you step on that throat.
Also, the Dolphins need to get over themselves. The game involves 2 teams, it is played to determine a victory, but also to train for future games as this is the only chance you get to practice something with live bullets flying. Our offense was not clicking for most of the game, we needed to run plays and give the Oline time to work together. If the Dolphins don't like it, they should stop the play, like they did with the 2 pt conversion.
