Lions > Dolphins

[tpaulus_2]

That's all. Just wanted to clear things up since there's a couple of Dolphins trolls hanging around trying their darnedest to argue otherwise. But there's no argument- the 'Phins have a great DT, a decent DE, an up-and-comming young QBm and not much else at all. They suuuuck.

And yet the Dolphins were able to score 24.2 PPG, while the Lions put up 20.1 PPG.

I'm not a Dolphins fan, nor a Suh fan, but I would say the Dolphins are currently a better team.

 

[RobBase]

Dolphins have won 6 games vs playoff teams the last 2 years. The Lions have won 2.

I think we may have win a few more games than they did, though. I also remember beating them head-to-head last season.

Based on their record last year, or us beating them last year?

Currently is the key word here. Lions had Suh last year.

Those statistics are illogical.

You answered your own questions with 2 key words you used twice: Last year.

Last time I checked, a previous year guarantees you nothing the following year. Except a worse draft pick.

Besides, we BARELY beat them AT HOME with Suh as a MAIN REASON for that. Just watch the first Dolphins series in that game and try to say different.

 

[tpaulus_2]

Gotcha, so you're with the crew that thinks adding Suh just bought them 5 extra wins and cost us 5 wins, then.

I'm of the opinion that no defensive player makes such a drastic difference, but that's just me...

 

[Old Lion]

I am convinced coaching makes a bigger difference then then the players that are out there. Look at some of the schlubs that the Pats and Ravens put there in years they won titles. Even the Seabags made it back last year with no one other then Lynch and Wilson on offense and there DBs on defense. They do not have any Mega Superstars that other teams are willing to break the bank for. Pats and Ravens finally paying their QBs, but that's it.

We have Austin, they have no one. I don't think we are much better any more but we are still a little. I expect both teams to be on the bubble of the playoffs. Too early to know anything for sure yet though.

 

[lionstop1]

Lions are better even without Suh. Lets see of the Dolphins even get third place in that division. Jets> Dolphins Bills> Dolphins N.E > Dolphins Austin> Suh lol

 

[tpaulus_2]

Idk about the Jets, lol. They're really bad...

 

[tpaulus_2]

Bills and especially the Pats have better rosters than Miami in that division for sure, though...

 

[Dr. Evil-er]

I could have sworn the Dolphins lost quite a few players that "were" on their roster last year.

Pretty sure those guys made quite a few plays for them.

 

[lionstop1]

I personally like the Jets new defense better.

Lmao. I never ever said the Lions were a 6 win team without Suh and the Dolphins will be a 13 win team with him. Not even close. But I like how you twist my words around to make it seem like I did. Especially coming from someone who just posted this in another thread:

"This is one of the biggest pain in the ass things on the board- posters who don't like what they're reading, so they twist people's words to try to make it seem like they're saying something absurd, like you did above."

Seattle is loaded with great players.

I think they made a great hire- Arizona's defense was much better than it's parts said it should have been- but Bowles has a lot of work to do before that team is winning many games. A QB and some offensive weapons have to be at the top of his list, I'd think...
