0-2 Starts

[BAMAPHIN 22]

Miami, which last went 0-2 in 1988, now finds itself in a tough spot. ESPN showed a graphic Sunday night that stated since 1993, only 12 out of 93 teams that have started the season 0-2 have made the playoffs.

Fortunately for the Dolphins, they do have some recent examples. Feeley and the Philadelphia Eagles started out 0-2 last season and still made it to their third consecutive NFC Championship game. And in 2002, both the Pittsburgh Steelers and the Atlanta Falcons made the playoffs after dropping their first two contests.

Do you think the Dolphins will rebound and have winning season???

 

[BigFinFan]

YES - I think that 10-6 or 9-7 is a possibility!

 

[42ZRo]

no

Have to take it one week at a time. Starting with the steelers and their rookie QB.

Of course, the season is not over. And if the players on the Eagles team had given up after TWO games they wouldn't have made it where they made it last year. I don't think any of our players are going to give up 2 games into the season.

Blind Optimism To The Rescue! Course We Can! :d

It's not like we were blown out in either game. I don't see how thinking we can turn this around is blind optimism.

I'm not saying that, just implying that I'm a blind optimist. I'll think the team will do good if the entire 1st string team comes down with the measles. :D

How much crack do you smoke?:shakeno:

 

[Dol-Fan Dupree]

all it takes is one

I 2 remain optimistic. With our defense playing the way it is once our O gets in sync we will only be better and I believe it starts this week. I look for us to be a totally different team this week. I still don't think that 10-6 is out of the picture.

No the Dolphins are not the Eagles, season is over. I Hope not but I don't see it any other way. :cry:

Need to win the next four games.

All blind optimist should know where all the other blind optimist are. I'm with you as far as always having faith in this team. :D

The season is not over. Only 2 games have been played.

I don't think our players are giving up either... But history does not favor the Dolphins...No Dolphins team has ever rebounded from an 0-2 start to even finish with a .500 record, and there patience is running short.
