I dont know which teams we are going to beat or lose to.

But i will give my prediction.

A homers prediction

10-6. And a playoff berth as a wildcard.

@ Cleveland W 1-0:

Josh Gordan will not play (2 wk suspension). Greg Little gets grimey. Dolphins shut down T-Rich and disrupt Weeden all day.

@ Stanford Colts W 2-0:

I am not sold that this team will be as successful under Chuck as they were with Guru Arians even though Pep hamilton (Lucks OC with Stanford) is on board. Offense will be decent but defense cannot stop Dolphins.

Atlanta W 3-0:

Big upset as Miami pass rush is too much for Atlanta in the home opener.

@ Saints L 3-1: Road game proves to be too much to outscore Drew Brees.

Ravens W 4-1: Ravens are not as good as the 10-6 team from last year.

Bye

Bills W 5-1: Who?

@ Pats W 6-1:

Pats are reeling after going 1-3 in previous 4 weeks (Atl, Cin, NO, Jets) for a 4-3 record coming in...Miami extends division lead. NE is @ .500 and now has to travel to Pit.

Bengals W 7-1: Holy crap, the phins are @ 7-1 and in first place.


@ Bucs W 8-1: Dolphins are the talk of the NFL

Chargers L 8-2: Wake up call. Got too cocky as Rivers outscores us..

Panthers W 9-2: Division championship is close

@ Jets W 10-2: Jets crashing hard

@ Steelers L 10-3: Tough loss by 3 points

Patriots L 10-4: Pats CLIMB to .500 (7-7) after losing to Pit, Den and Hou but pull out a victory. Mia has still clinched the division.

@ Bills W 11-4: Miami slaughters Bills 42-10

Jets W 12-4: Bills are playing for Bridgewater...Miami heads to playoffs after scoring 90 points in final two games

Miami wins division and makes playoffs for first time in 5 years.

I sense we will sweep Buffalo and the Jets this year. Other than these two, it will be up for grabs each week. I anticipate a lot of close games too. I'll be surprised if we win more than 9 games.

Well if you look strictly at last years records, changes our opponents have endured over the off season and the home/away set up I don't see any game save maybe the @Steelers where we COULDN'T be competitive, and if we're streaking at that point who knows.

That said, based on recent history and my naturally critical nature, HERE is my 'realistic' (props to eesti's signature line) assessment:

1-4 going in to break, evey body has again given up on Dolphins. Myself, BNF and several others are clamoring to bench Tannehil and then trade him for someone who can design a good helmet logo

Then we beat Buffalo and HOLD ON....NEW ENGLAND at home.

At 3-4 we then pull above .500 by beating the Bengals and Bucs.

@ 5-4, maybe tied for the lead in the division and in the perfect position to start a playoff run,...We FLOP in front of two teams we SHOULD beat JUST WHEN it would help our cause the most. SD and Carolina slip by us at home after some terrible turnovers, silly penalties, blown overages, or poor special teams play.

We bounce back against the Jets and still hold out hope because we aren't 'mathematically eliminated'.

At 6-6 we go on the road in December against a good team trying to keep playoff hopes alive...doesn't happen, we get a whuppin'. Still disappointed and with not much to play for, the playoff bound Pats spank us again the next week with a little help from their home town refs...

Now resigned to our fate and with the players looking forward to Cancun, the Bills and Jets go down in defeat leaving us fans looking forward to next year and wondering what would have happened had we won those two games in weeks 11 and 12 that we SHOULD have.

That's how I see it. Someone once said: "Always look at the worst possible outcome. That way your never disappointed and every once in a while, you are pleasantly surprised."

Heres to hoping I am pleasantly surprised this year...

I find threads like this refreshingly humorous. Crystal ball, anyone?

I agree 10-6. But I think we lose to the Colts , and we win at least 1 game from the Pats. If we stay healthy in the stretch our young fast defense may even dominate the Steelers making us 11-5.

That's my Gut feeling......Injuries will be Key as well as Oline.

GO DOLPHINS!!!!

I think we could win 9 after the Bye week. Will be interesting the Bills are looking way better then thought.

eesti maybe you can tell me if i cheat on my taxes this next year will i get caught?

Im counting on you for this one.
