Could you imagine 1-15 to the playoffs? Winning the division and having a playoff game at home? Double-WOW!!

Imagine going from 1-15 to winning the superbowl. From worst to best in
less than a year. That would be the biggest turnaround of alltime.

Yeah i know im drinking too much koolaid.

As far as the answer to the question i would say the last one.

+++++ I was wrong- I thought we would have another painful season+++++

If we go to the Superbowel, it would be the craziest sports story in history.

I can't believe that (as of this writing) only 13% of claim to have predicted this. We're a more honest bunch than I give us credit for.

I thought we would make good progress and be a 6-10 team this year.

Getting Pennington at the 11th hour made our season. I don't think we would have won more than 6 games with any of the other QB options we had at the time.

I'm a nut. I predicted the PHINS to make the playoffs and have a record of 9-7.

I was drinking the koolaid when it was just sugar water.

I don't know if I cab trace it back since the web site was hacked but I predicted 9-7 at worst or 10-6 after looking at the schedule and after preseason.

I was called a blind optimist among other things.

Sure we can. We are not really bashing anyone but we did get bashed for believing that this was a new year and anything was possible. We saw Chad Pennington and Henne perform in preseason like no QB since the good ole days and saw a glimmer of hope. We knew Ricky and Ronnie were capable of returning to form and we knew BP would build the right way, from the inside out. We were bashed for it by all the negative nay sayers...so all is fair in love and football.

So...just to keep it real. NO ONE here KNEW that we would be in the playoff hunt BUT some of us chose to believe and be psoitive instead of whinin and cryin about how bad we were gonna suck.

I'll have to be honest here and admit I was wrong, which doesn't happen often, because I certainly didn't think there was any way we were going to win more than five games.

However, I also think its important that we acknowledge that the vast majority of lofty predictions came as a result of fanaticism and not by unbiased analysis. They were indeed correct though.

Hmm..I said 7-9, and I thought that was pushing it. This season has been unreal!! For all the diehard fans out there, I feel we deserved this season after suffering through so many years of WanSabCam.

Look, folks were bashing me hard when I said 10-11 wins. I made that call after Penningtons first preseason game. I heard it all, was called delusional, nuts, had orange and aqua glasses, etc. It was total BS... a bunch low lifes that had NO FAITH in their team and wanted to crush anyone who did have faith now jump on the bandwagon and claim there was no harm in thinking they were that bad.

Yea, I'm gonna bash fair weather fans who had no faith back then, because they bashed me when I believed in my team.

I didn't mean to insinuate that you were a blind believer but noone knows how any season is going to unfold. You just never know about the NFL. Who would have thought that San Diego would be 5-8, Jacksonville would be 4-9 and Atlanta would be 8-5?

Every year there are many experts who get it wrong and they use facts and numbers as well. You can give an educated opinion but that doesn't guarantee anything.

That being said, I used pretty much the same system as you did to determine my prediciton...along with the history of Bill Parcels and what he has done for every team he goes to.

I agree as ghotirule said, predictions were all across the board so someone will be right. No matter the minority. Actually last year I predicted that we would be a 7-8 win ball club. Although we finished 1-15 I dont count that as a wrong prediction because it was contingent on ms. cleo starting. And of the bums we had at qb I am sure that now people should agree that cleo gave us the best chance to win. Is he a starting qb? maybe not but he was the best we had last year and should have played all 16 games.

I agree cleo was an upgrade over beck last year. Anybody is an upgrade over beck as much as i hate to admit it.

Beck will never see the field with both chads in front of him.

I think we'll shop him in the offseason. He's still young enough to have some upside, which means some team will probably give us a mid-round pick for him. I could see us drafting a QB in later rounds to fill Beck's spot and bringing in a couple free agents.

Regardless, figure the Chads will be fighting for the 1 and 2 QB spots on our team next year. Gee...2 capable QBs? It's a nice problem to have. It's been a LONG time since we could say that in Miami.
