Camarillo to the rescue
As Greg Camarillo (who?) split the safety and the corner, the announcers knew it was the end of the Miami Dolphins futility, at least for this season. They screamed and they yelled, the owner cried, Cam Cameron was looking for someone to hug, and even Jason Taylor celebrated as if it was the Superbowl. In essence, it was their Superbowl, the one win (and only, this year it looks like) signified an end to what would have been the most infamous record on the NFL Record books - a team that didn't win a game. But, the Dolphins players and especially those that have won Superbowls or playoff games should have acted like they'd been there before.
I felt like after this game was over, we would have another opening in the NFL head coach fraternity, and we will, just not the one I imagined. There is no reason Brian Billick should be kept around another year, and Cam Cameron saved himself the guillotine for another year. With seconds left in regulation, and a 4th and inches to go to the goal line, the self-proclaimed and yet to be echoed offensive genius went for a field goal to tie the game, instead of a possible win. Your team is 3-10, you're not going anywhere, what could you possibly have to lose by going for it? I mean, you really don't have your dignity anymore, because a winless team is beating you at this point. If you're going to lose, go out like a man. Why not do it. You have a mobile quarterback in Troy Smith, and a very capable running back in Willis McGahee, one of them has to make a play. Ozzie should have dome down on the field and fired him right there. I know I would have.

As a loooong time Browns fan, it does my heart good to see the Baltimore Browns, sorry, Ravens go through this type season. It's not so much they are losing, it's the way they are losing. Good post, thanks.
