The dolphins....yay or nay this year

[Dude]

It is noteworthy to remind people that AFCE will give valiant battle against the best. As always.

Call me crazy. I know tua has questions. I think the offense will be just fine. Its the d im curious about. Flashes of being really good last year. But they also had some great matchups that boosted the d stats.

jets twice: 0 and 3 points allowed , jets dead last in ppg
Pat twice: 11 and 12 points allowed , pats 27th in ppg
Bengals without burrow: 7 points allowed
Jags:13 points allowed, jags 30th in ppg
49ers: 17 points allowed ,49 ers 21st in ppg(not bad)
Broncos: 13 points allowed, 28th in ppg

9.5 points against average in those 8 games. Stellar regardless of opponent

But really poor offenses


Seahawks: 31 points against
cards: 31 points against
bills : 31 and 56 points against
Chiefs: 33 points against
Raiders: 25 points against
Chargers: 21 points against

32.57 points against average in those games

leaving the rams game with 17 points against.



i fully realize everyone plays good and bad teams, steelers had similar games . Yes i realize the burrow leas bengals lit up the steelers. But thats the bigger question for me.

The D wasn't a finished product last year no doubt. Plus the offense sure didn't help the cause left them on the field a lot. This is why I'm happy that they added more to their D especially the pass rush needed improvement.

Saw this article showing their roster in the past to now it would blow your mind.

Im sure it would. Its been a heck of a job.

No , I know it wasn't a finished product. i was piggybacking off someone saying that we knew the phins D was for real. I was going contrarian. I think the O is more real than the D was last year. It was the tale of matchups. Play someone bad, dominate. Play someone good, get walked all over. Granted those offenses were REALLY good, but still. I have more faith in the offense, as it stands. But I believe in the weapons you have, and some of tua's development

Problem is building a roster is NEVER over.

Not sold on the Fins because I'm not sold on Tua.

A lotof folks not sold on Tua. I have no opinion of QB.
I do think that a lot of cards fell right for Dolphins last year and that rarely happens 2 years in a row for developing eam.....

What is the Dolphins' expected win total according to betting lines?

It’s been quite some time since the Miami Dolphins were viewed this favorably in the eyes of bettors. The Dolphins started the Brian Flores era with more than 20 consecutive games of being a betting underdog — despite the fact that the team constantly outperformed expectations against the...

9 seems fair. I wouldn't touch that bet at all.

Don't let @FlyerFinFan hear that!

You can't rule out Sam Darnold and Adam Gase leaving the division all of sudden turning the AFC East into the toughest division in football.

Not so much rookie picks but previous draft picks that are growing in the system. Some of these guys have been around a few years already.

If you've watched Flo and Grier you would know that the headline is false. They just grabbed another CB off waivers. I think the point was that their core is starting to settle in.

Pretty insane hey? It's actually a good thing for the league that if done right you can reverse your fortunes quickly. Not saying contender but they look to be headed in the right direction. I still believe 2022 will be the start of their best years.

 

[FlyerFinFan]

Not sold on the Fins because I'm not sold on Tua.

Who is sold on any rookie QB? Herbert could shit the bed next year and it wouldn't surprise me. Either way I'd rather trust Flo and Grier's opinion as they see the players every day. If he were shit I would think that they would have drafted another option this past year but they didn't.

Yep could be a tough division but I don't believe that the jets will turn it around that fast. They have a lot of issues.

Likely need one more year, but absolutely no reason you cant exceed that this year.

Well besides you, no one thought the dysfunctional dolphins would that quickly either! So it could happen!
