OK, we've talked about Training Camp, we watched Pre-Season and, we have a pretty good idea of who the starters will be. Now it's time to stand and be counted for bragging rights after the season. A poor prediction can and WILL be used against you by your peers. To be given FULL credit you'll need to repeat your prediction in a message so that we can put a name with your GUESS.

It looks disturbingly like we may be headed for another slow start but, I'm certain we'll improve during the course of the season. Factor in injuries, bad luck, and solar flares, I'm going with 9-7. I've got a side bet that the Phins win the division so I'm hoping for better but, I'll settle for "moving in the right direction."

I really can't predict. I could see us going 6-10 or 10-6. Neither would suprise me. I'm less optimistic heading into this season than last year though. We need to get off to a fast start, which will be really hard with the schedule this year. If we can go 5 and 3 in the first 8, I think we can have a great year. If we go 3 and 5 or worse, we will miss the playoffs.

This years schedule is a real hard one for us, 8-8 because of it..

If we can get to Nov 14th at .500 or better, we will be fine. After Nov 14th things get A LOT easier!!!


Until Nov 14th though, well...say a prayer. That is the toughest NFL schedule I have seen in years

I know I shouldn't use preseason as a barometer, but it is hard not to. I see us around .500. To borrow from Sparano, we will be too inconsistent.

My guess was 9-7 and even that IMHO, may be a bit optimistic.

That said, I really hope that the way the team played in the preseason was a smokescreen and they get out of the gates hard and fast.

I'm thinkin 9-7 as well.
I'm banking that the addition of B-Marsh will account for at least 2 more wins than last season. Hopefully more.

I think we'll be stronger early than some think. We have the benefit of playing the Bills and a weakened Minnesota team.

I also think we'll be able to take the Steelers and Jets.

See us going into mid-season 5-3. At that point anything can happen.

I think we go undefeated, and win it all.

Start off slow first half against Buf, then tear em up, and just ride the pine.

Minn wr trouble good for us, and we sweep our division, GB is our major upset, and Big Ben, will still be out of sync, when we play them the week he is back from suspension. lol

9-7

You forgot to mention how all three qbs go down early and we resign Pat White and he ends up a pro bowler.

And then Pat White breaks Brady's single season TD record and throws for 5,000 yards! Then he wins MVP and comeback player of the year.

Interesting, So far nobody has picked us to win the division. In fact, there is considerably less optimism than last season in spite of the pick up of Dansby, Marshall, a good draft, and Henne having another year of experience.
Where's Ghotirule? He frequently nails these predictions.
Also, where is Aqua & Orange?

I got Miami winning the division in my "prediction thread". But I think Miami wins the division at 9-7....which isn't an option on this poll

If Miami wins the division with a 9-7 record then you will get an honorable mention and I'll buy you a personalized Miami jersey with my winnings.

I will hold you to that

10-6 is where they will finish the year at

So what do I GET for having the balls to say perfect season?

LOL..

JUST for having the balls you get the "Pat White award for excellence."
If your prediction nails it then you get MikeO's personalized jersey since he won't be getting it.

Thats what Im talkin about!

14-2. SB champs.

I am going to put a slab of meat on the grill as an offering to the football godz now.

All the pieces will come together.

No signifigant injuries and bonehead calls by Sparano:

10-6


Injuries and Sparano getting fired:

6-10

Two weeks I go I go 10-6 today I am saying 9-7 or 8-8. If I am wrong I will take care of teaching Mia1 how to spell

Get your school book ready!!

I originally said 10-6....maybe. Tough early schedule but I say at worse 9-7, terrible injs. maybe 8-8, but 1 thing for sure is that we're at least a year away from serious Super Bowl talk IMO (too many 1st and 2nd yr players learning at key positions)

I feel the same way. 9-7 I think is realistic and probable. Might not get a wild card at 9-7 but since I think the Jets and Pats are down this year I think we can win the AFC East at 9-7

Some people say we we go undefeated and win it all.....1

Then they say we start out slow........................2


HMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM How can you go undefeated and start out slow at the same time?
