This is a moderated phorum for the CIVILIZED discussion of the Miami Dolphins. In this phorum, there are rules and moderators to make sure you abide by the rules. The moderators for this phorum are JC and Colonel.
Dan Carpenter
Brandon Spikes
Corey Graham
Keith Rivers
Anthony Dixon
Chris Williams
Scott Chandler
NYJ:
Eric Decker
Breno Giacomini
Notes:
Pats should have a pretty good secondary this year. probably among best in the league. Their run defense is taking a hit with the loss of Spikes and possibly Wilfork.
Buffalo added to an already good defense. Linebackers in 2014...
WLB Kiki Alonzo
MLB Brandon Spikes
SLB Keither Rivers/Manny Lawson
Jets and Decker....no big deal. He is a complimentary #2 receiver.
Buffalo needs offensive help but no notable signings yet
If Buffalo ever gets good, consistent QB play (and WR), they will be tough. Easier said than done.
NE always stays status quo
Jets: same as Buffalo...need better QB and WR play
Only 2 out of 14 former Dolphin/Ireland players have been signed by other teams? 2 were resigned by Miami. 11 of those players were starters or played a large role in 2013.
fans become familiar with the names and think they're better than they actually are because the rooted for them for a few years. In reality it's a group that helped us get to 8-8.
when you resign those guys that helped you achieve mediocrity to lucrative extensions you turn into an annually cap strapped team like the cowboys.

Well that must be new for this year, because all I ever hear about is how players leave our "broken" system and go on to have stellar careers elsewhere.
I'm frankly surprised that won't be the case for at least one more season but I'm definitely more optimistic about our own future.

Also goes to show , Ireland was so bad , not even other Teams want his draft picks...........

It's 100% IMPOSSIBLE we lose both Buffalo games with anything other than pure sewage as the Head Coach.
I mean -- can you imagine a decent coach with our roster blowing 2 games against that POS team???
The Buffalo QB was like Ronald McDonald or some Captain Kangaroo masquerader.
Absolute G-A-R-B-A-G-E
and unforgivable.
Can we get rid of Phlimflam before TC???
At least that would give us some hope of having an entertaining season.
