Are the Dolphins going to reach the playoffs, let alone the superbowl. I think there is not doubt Miami is in the playoffs this year, and very well may have a very good shot to reach the superbowl.
Think about it, Miami has been awesome in the beginning of the season, then Jay gets hurt, we lose a few games because we don't have a reliable QB, and Finally we in the end of our schedule, that seems to kill us. Because of it, we have missed the playoffs by one game the last 3 years.....one game.
This year our schedule is easier to maintain, then years past, if Feeley continues to improve, Fiedler will be backup (Fiedler is a great backup, but not much of a starter), which will guarantee us, that will will not have a 3rd year in a row of Fiedler getting hurt at a critical moment. Out O-line is young, but if you look at it, it is still a bit better then we were last year, and will get much better as the year goes on. We now have Two receivers to throw to, so Chambers will have many chances of taking passes all the way, and if Feeley is starting for us, there will be better deep passes made.
Thanks to our draft, we will also have a very good special teams this year, and if possible, will will also have a better defense, as out CBs safeties each now go 4 deep as far as quality. If Ogun comes back, this defense might actually be as good as Wanny predicted.
To show how good out team has been, and how close we have been, all you have to do is look at last year, we lost a game against the Texans, that should have never been even close, we lost a game to the Pats, that we had 2 chances to win, we lost
a game to the Colts, that if not for Greise, Miami could have won that game....all games Miami held their own destiny (Did not need any help from the other team), and could have won the game.
I think Miami has a much better then average chance of making the playoffs, and a good chance of going to the big show. Even with all the problems, and distractions we have had this year, I still feel very excited about this year
