Rosenthal: 'Big Moment For' Dolphins on Sunday

"I thought they were a seven or eight win team going into the season," NFL Network's Gregg Rosenthal said on the Big O Show. "

"I had them in third place in the AFC East ahead of the Jets with eight wins. That wouldn't surprise me still. I think you were probably feeling the same way when they were heading to London last year at this time. They didn't turn into a juggernaut, but they did start winning some games. And I think they have the talent to do that [again].

"And I think if you lose this game, that makes it a different sort of season ... I think if you lose this game and the negativity and the pressure on Philbin and the pressure on the Ndamukong Suh signing, I think if you lose this game it's a different sort of Joe Philbin season, and it's potentially a much worse one where things could really get ugly and spin a little out of control. I think this is a big moment for them to get into the bye week 2-2 and at least feel like were a middle of the pack that if we can improve some things can go on a run. If you're 1-3, losing to the Jaguars, losing to those types of teams that are just trying to build, it makes you wonder what's the future of this entire group."
