DAVIE Josh Sitton Jersey , Fla. (AP) — The Miami Dolphins are off to a perfect start, which they know guarantees nothing.Before now, the most recent season where the Dolphins started 2-0 ended up with them missing the playoffs. And the last time they started 0-2, they actually went to the postseason.So starting with two wins — one of only seven NFL teams to do that this season, plus sitting alone atop the AFC East for good measure — obviously beats any alternative fate at this point in the season, though Dolphins coach Adam Gase wasn’t exactly spending time figuring out how to distribute playoff tickets on Monday.“I’ve been 6-0 and not made the playoffs,” Gase said. “It doesn’t matter.”Gase was an assistant coach with the 2009 Denver Broncos, who rolled into their bye week 6-0, winning by an average of 11.1 points per game. They came back from the bye and lost eight of their final 10 games.Lesson learned.The Dolphins were last 2-0 in 2013, actually winning their first three that year before sputtering to an 8-8 finish. Gase’s first season in Miami was 2016, those Dolphins started 0-2 and 1-4, and made the playoffs regardless.“You’ve got to play every week, you’ve got to reset it every week, you’ve got to work to get better http://www.thedolphinslockerroom.com/authentic-kalen-ballage-jersey , try not to be a team that’s up and down, try to be consistent,” Gase said. “You’re going to lose games in this league. That’s why there’s only been one undefeated team that’s ever won it all and another undefeated team didn’t win the last game — so nobody really cares.”To be clear, he wasn’t drawing any parallel to the 1972 perfect Dolphins or the 2007 New England Patriots team that went 16-0 in the regular season and wound up losing the Super Bowl to the New York Giants.Gase knows this team has to get better, with much to clean up before playing host to the Oakland Raiders (0-2) on Sunday. And although he insi1sts that what’s said outside the Dolphins’ facility doesn’t matter, some players are finding a bit of satisfaction knowing that Miami might already been exceeding the gloom-and-doom expectations they heard about coming into the year.“Yeah, we’re proving some guys wrong,” Dolphins receiver Jakeem Grant said. “But at the end of the day, we’re playing for each other. We’re here, we have a higher standard and we feel like we have to be devoted to those standards — push, push, push in every practice. Great practices lead to great games. Some people saying we’ll have a negative record, it’s motivating, like Womens Jason Sanders Jersey , ‘OK, we’ll see.'”It’s the second time that all three of Florida’s NFL teams — Miami, Jacksonville and Tampa Bay — have all started 2-0. The other was in 1997.Gase shrugged off any talk of how the Dolphins are ahead of division rivals New England, Buffalo and the New York Jets — the team Miami beat 20-12 on Sunday. He raved about quarterback Ryan Tannehill’s accuracy through two games, the third-and-19 catch by running back Frank Gore that sealed Sunday’s win, or the multi-layered effort that the Dolphins’ defense made to keep the Jets out of the end zone on the final play of the first half.To him, that’s what matters.Hearing about having a one-game lead in the AFC East with 14 left to play only was worthy of an eye roll.“If you ask half these guys, they probably don’t even know,” Gase said. “They don’t care. I mean, it doesn’t mean anything. The division stuff right now is so irrelevant. … No one cares what you’re doing right now. When it’s December and it’s really coming down to the end, half the time you don’t even care then. You’re just playing games and trying to win them all.” The Seattle Seahawks will face the NFC West-leading Los Angeles Rams minus running back Chris Carson and guard D.J. Fluker.Carson is out with a hip injury that bothered him last week, while Fluker is sidelined by a calf injury. Fluker’s absence is notable given that he won’t have an opportunity to back up his criticism of the Rams’ toughness following the Seahawks’ 33-31 loss to Los Angeles at Seattle last month.The Miami Dolphins are down three starters on the offensive line against the Green Bay Packers, including both starting tackles.Left tackle Laremy Tunsil has knee and ankle injuries, while right tackle Ja’Wuan James has a knee injury. They were questionable coming into Sunday.Guard Ted Larsen was doubtful with a neck injury.For the Packers Durham Smythe Jersey , receiver Randall Cobb is inactive again after a setback with his hamstring injury this week in practice. Green Bay also placed Geronimo Allison on injured reserve this week, so rookies Marquez Valdes-Scantling and Equanimeous St. Brown will play bigger roles in the offense.Packers starting right tackle Bryan Bulaga is active after being listed as questionable with a knee injury.Here are the inactives for Sunday’s Week 10 games:MIAMI-GREEN BAYDolphins: QB Ryan Tannehill, OL Ted Larsen, T Ja’Wuan James, DE Jonathan Woodard, T Laremy Tunsil, TE Durham Smythe, DE Charles Harris.Packers: QB Tim Boyle, WR Randall Cobb, CB Kevin King, CB Will Redmond, S Ibraheim Campbell, OL Alex Light.
