The dolphins....yay or nay this year

[Southieinnc]

Let's use a Belichick and Flores approach and take it one game at a time. Winning coaches don't have a what if we lose multiple games mindset.

You know I'm a homer.
Dolphins have a tough start to schedule.
Patriots supposedly have a tougher schedule but an "easy" start
It will be fun watching that 1st game. We start and end the season with each other!

The rivalry is alive and well.......

Yes it could very well happen but the Fins won't be a pushover either. I can see a 3-3 start then schedule eases up.

I think cam will be cam and ultimately be your downfall. Tua is a little unknown but last years experience and full off-season will help him. Plus the team is staying with him if he was horrible they would have drafted a QB. I like their odds of taking another step forward.

I think Fins continue to improve - but not necessarily in the standings.....

They may not make it but they will be in the mix. I think they will get in though. Patsies I'm not so sure.

It's pre-season.
Time for flyerfinfan to call them "patsies"
Paolo to call them "cheatriots"

In a very short while the Dolphins will be calling them "Daddy"

Not a chance the division is a lot better no free bye anymore. Plus you have tootie fruitie cam and his hat collection to deal with. Good luck with that BS.

I think they’ll start Mac sooner than expected and do some fancy stuff, like bootleg with Cam. Granted, that play hardly ever works, but it is cam, that dude can run the ball.

Cam can run but he can't pass worth a shit. You then rely on your D to keep teams under 14 which is tough these days. I think the Fins will be ready for the run game this year and have better personnel to slow it down.

Will be good, looking forward to the games. Dolphins looking solid, and the Pats seem to have recovered a bit. We’ll see.

Imo Tua is the X-factor. IF he's come along well enough in his development i can see the Fins getting to a wild card in the playoffs...

Apparently he's giving'er in the offseason so that's a huge benefit in comparison to last year. Chemistry with Waddle is a bonus too. It will definitely be interesting.

Waddle will be a good one. No reason to believe that Tua can't get him the ball.
Should be interesting to see what Belichick has waiting for Waddle and Tua that 1st game!

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.

 

[BigFin]

The addition of LB McKinney and EDGE Phillips should really help the D.
