It could be tough but I don't think it looks too bad.

We have 4 prime time games with two on Monday Night Football, one on SNF and a Thursday night game with only 3 days of preparation.

We finish with two home games and will have a point where we play 4 out of 5 road games.

I like finishing at home with 2 games left but the start could be brutal.

Week 1...Falcons

Stop John Abraham (Jake Long)
Stop Michael Turner (better run defense)

Take advantage of the loss of Grady Jackson and average DT's.
Take advantage of a suspect secondary.

Week 2...Colts

Put pressure on Manning.
Put pressure on Manning.

week 3...Chargers

Put pressure on Rivers.
Control Merriman (Jake Long) if he is back to 100%.

I noticed the last game is January 3rd. Anyone know why that is? Usually the regular season ends in December and the Playoffs are in January.

I keep reading everywhere about our tough schedule, bla bla bla. We're a much better team than we were a year ago and we're only getting better. I think the teams on the schedule should be marking us down for this season. I guess we're gonna have to quiet the critics again. If Miami stays healthy we host the Super Bowl Baby!!!!!!!!! Screw the rest of the league.

This team showed me last year that they have a huge heart and refuse to revert back to losing. We beat teams that we weren't supposed to and we will do it again this year. There is a new culture in Miami and it will only be stronger this year.

The Bills were a winning team talked about as a power house in week 8 and were supposed to beat us. They didn't. Had we gotten of to a stonger start, our record would have been much better than 11-5.

We had a new QB, new WR's, new defense and new coaching but the light did not come on until week 8 vs Buffalo. It flickered on in week 3 vs the Patriots.

We started the season 0-2. Miami was inexperienced and they been playing in week one like they were capable of, we could have been 13-3 or better. this year we will be stronger at the beginning than we were last year.

When the light did come on, we finished the year 9-1!

The team that finished the year was a totally different team the team that started the year...not to mention, the impact of the loss of our two starting guards had on the development our running game.

We weren't supposed to beat NE, Buf, NY, Denver or San Diego but WE DID.

We got 11 or 12 impact players out of the off season (FA & draft) last year. We don't need that many this year but even if we come away with half of those this year we will be GREATLY improved.

8 days until the draft!
