The Miami Dolphins' 2007 Schedule: Who's On Their Play List

Every year, Miami Dolphins fans find themselves swimming in wonderment, questioning whether their team will be good, bad, or just plain ugly. While the NFL is filled with teams that need little speculation - teams that are routinely playoff bound or teams that are a shoe in for a good draft pick - Miami isn't one of them. Perpetually hovering around the .500 mark, with a few good seasons and bad seasons peppered in, the Dolphins are a team that can go either way: towards a winning season or into the dark cracks of failure.

This year, however, could be different. As Dante Culpepper's career takes a metaphorical and literal knee, Trent Green looks to be the new starting quarterback, one who can hopefully 'fin'ish the season with more wins than losses.

The following is the Dolphins' 2007 schedule, and a breakdown of their opponents.

WEEK 2: Sept 16th Dallas Cowboys: Dallas was a game above mediocrity with a 9-7 record last season. After a devastating loss to the Seattle Seahawks in the playoffs (laces out, Tony Romo), the stability of the Cowboys lies solely in how their quarterback -- who ended last year on a sour note 'holding' the ball for a field goal -- will react. He will either bounce back, or fall further. If he plays well, Dallas could be a hard team to beat.
