This Sunday in Philadelphia, the Dolphins (0-9) will start four rookies on offense for the first time that the coaching staff and front office hope will be the foundation of a promising future for many years to come. Three of them – wide receiver Ted Ginn, Jr., center Samson Satele and fullback Reagan Mauia – have been starting for most of the season, but second-round draft pick John Beck not only gets his first start but his first action as a pro against the 4-5 Eagles.

You would think after a nice rest on the bye week the Dolphins would be ready to go against a Bills team many thought they would grab their first win against. The Bills are red hot right now and the Dolphins are still hurting. Zach Thomas will be out once again with migraines. Lee Evans is on fire and tends to have his best games against the Dolphins. The Bills look to win their fourth straight game and move over .500 for the first time in more than two years when they visit the winless Dolphins on Sunday.
This is a game of 2 teams heading in opposite directions. No need for the pity.
