Sunday Morning, everything around the house is done and IM thinking about my beloved FINS and my favorite website > FINHEAVEN!

I wanted to take a closer look at our up and coming schedule for the season and try and break things down a bit to see where we MIGHT end up.

09/11/05 vs. Denver Broncos 1:00 PM 1-0

At home vs Denver. The Broncos had a tough time with us last year in their own building. Jake Plummer is terrible when you get pressure on him and that is something we should be able to do. The Fans and Fins alike will be PUMPED up for Saban's first game as Head Coach, Ronnie Brown with something to prove, Miami has an outstanding record at home in Season Openers. Miami 24 Denver 14

09/18/05 @ New York Jets 4:15 PM 1-1
The JETS swept us last season. They are at Home and we have always had a tough time there. Jets D is a top 10 and Ricky isnt back yet. Chad Pennington wont be out for the year yet. Curtis Martin led the league in rushing, but how much longer can he go? We lose a tough fought defensive battle-> Jets 17 Fins 10

09/25/05 vs. Carolina Panthers 1:00 PM 2-1
We return home to play one of the better young teams in the NFC. Does Stephen Davis have anything left? Will losing Mushin hurt Dellohome? Who will start at RB for the Panthers? D line problems last year, Ronnie Brown has his first 100 yard game. Fins rebound. Miami 21 Panthers 13

10/02/05 Bye Week
I hate early BYE weeks. Ricky is back at 220 lbs and raring to go.

10/09/05 @ Buffalo Bills 1:00 PM 3-1
Are the Bills fans questioning the release of Bledsoe? This team showed little heart vs the Steelers in a must win game! The Ricky and Ronnie show debuts and Miami gets their first road win. Miami 20 Bills 10

10/16/05 @ Tampa Bay Buccaneers 1:00 PM 3-2
Cadillac and Brown are on opposite sides of the Ball. John Gruden has been quietly building a competitve young football team. Griese's revenge. Tampa 27 Fins 17

10/23/05 vs. Kansas City Chiefs 1:00 PM 3-3
Patrick returns to Miami. Although Chiefs D is improved , Miami's new offense under Lihnen is starting to click. KC'S O proves too much for Miami's new secondary, Saban loses first home game in this one
KC 31 Miami 24

10/30/05 @ New Orleans Saints 1:00 PM 4-3
Miami's offensive speed shows here. After losing 2 games in a row, The Ricky and Ronnie show couples with new look offense.
Miami 27 Saints 10

11/06/05 vs. Atlanta Falcons 1:00 PM 5-3
Miami under dogs at home. Vick runs into problems with the speedy Matt Roth and Jason Taylor. Ricky and Ronnie continue to be animals as Miami wins their second in a row Miami 24 Falcons 17

11/13/05 vs. New England Patriots 1:00 PM 6-3
Saban and Bellicheck know each other well. Miami 5-3 and respectability is the buzz around the city of Miami. Brady runs into a D line roation of Carter, Taylor, Roth and Vonnie Holliday contribute as the Fins win another one in a Defensive battle Miami 10 Pats 7

11/20/05 @ Cleveland Browns 1:00 PM 7-3
While Crennel has the BROWNS playing with pride, the Fins have too much talent and Ricky and Ronnie expose a weak D line.
Miami 23 Browns 14

11/27/05 @ Oakland Raiders 4:05 PM 7-4
Once again an AFC WEST passing team exploits the Fins rebuilding secondary as Miami loses for the first time in 4 weeks! Williams and Brown have big games, but its not enough.
Raiders 34 Fins 21

12/04/05 vs. Buffalo Bills 1:00 PM 7-5
Bills second year QB is getting better. Mcgahee is still healthy. Its hard to sweep a division opponent and Miami finds that out. They drop their second in a row in a tough battle Bills 20 Fins 17

12/11/05 @ San Diego Chargers 4:15 PM 8-5
After losing 2 games in a row, the Fins fly out west and actually beat an AFC WEST TEAM in an UPSET. Ronnie Brown vs Ladanian Tomlison in a thriller Miami 31 Chargers 27

12/18/05 vs. New York Jets 1:00 PM 9-5
The Saban led Fins have the people talking Playoffs for the Fins for the first time since 2001! Jets have won the last 3 games, but at home and VS Jay Fumbler, Miami dominates the game. Miami 28 Jets 14

12/24/05 vs. Tennessee Titans 1:00 PM 10-5
Afer an emotional win vs the hated JETS, Saban keeps the players heads in the game as Miami wins again, beating the rebuilding Titans in a laugher Miami 34 Titans 10

01/01/06 @ New England Patriots 1:00 P 10-6
The Pats have clinched yet another AFC EAST TITLE, but need this win vs a Miami team who has beat them 2 games in a row for a bye week in the tough AFC! Miami is on the road and in the cold for the first time this year, which has been a HUGE ADVANTAGE for a team that historically doesn't play well in the COLD. Miami serves notice that they are going to be the future of the AFC EAST, but the Pats pull out a well fough battle as the Pats win this one, with terrible conditions at the field.
Pats 17 Miami 10

IN this last game of the season, the Fins do not fold under the brilliant mind of Nick Saban. They lose the game, but its a well fought battle and this gives the Fins confidence going into their first playoff game since 2001!





i think it could very well go that way, nice job man:), i do have to say i dont think we will loose to the bucs and loose to the bills the second time but i think we will go 9-7 or 10-6. again good job man
 
Thanks

IM glad some of my Fellow Fin fans enjoyed it. I seen where someone mentions the progress of our O and that its not listed, well it kinda is. I think the first game of the season will be won on sheer emotions and the wave of the fans.

The reason I put we will beat the Chargers and lose to the Raiders is because there is always that one game or 2 when you are sure you will lose and you win and visa versa, it happens almost every year.

I dont think the BILLS will beat us early in the Season with a pretty much Rookie QB vs our D. You can say what you want about the run D and question it, this team is GEARED for attacking QB'S.
Roth
Taylor
Carter
Holliday
Bowens?

You know who I think is the sleeper of the bunch? Vonnie Holliday. If this guy is healthy he is faster than people think. In KC he was the MAN, that isnt a good role for him. ON the Fins he is a piece to the puzzle and will thrive.

I like our 4-3 look vs the PASS this season

TAYLOR HOLLIDAY CARTER ROTH
NICE!
 
I hope we can will 10 games. That will make Saban coach of the year.
 
The J-Mann's Prediction
#1- Denver could go either way, but the new Saban system confuses them and Miami sneaks out a win.
#2-Jets-blow out, this game will not turn out well for us
#3-Panthers-the team that pushed NE in the superbowl is back and miami is 1-2
#4-Bills-with no passing game to take advantage of miami's D the dolphins win 2-2
#5-Bucs are still bad and we improved way more then then easy win
#6-Chiefs are sweet and Miami loses 3-3
#7 and #8-both could go either way vs. Falcons and Saints but the Falcons D proves to be to much, while the Saints begin their typical downward slide 4-4
#9 Pat's Revenge 4-5
#10 Browns suck 5-5
#11-Raider s Defence is brutal and the Randy Moss experiment is a failure easy win 6-5
#12-Bills- Miami squeaks out a win in a game that could go either way
#13 and #14 back to back loses to go to 7-7with the Jets and Chargers barring Penningtons health
#15-Titans are an easy win 8-7
#16 -Pats depending on whats at stake if Pats put their vets in they will win if they are already in the playoffs and miami faces their secound string miami wins which i believe will happen final 9-7 just out of playoffs

Oh no, thats not a homer post. Give me a break, there is no way in hell we match up with Atlanta, or Buffalo. Yes, Haslett leds the Saints, but they still got to much talent.

Then, the Browns. You give Romeo credit, but then say we expose them. Remember, Romeo aint no chump either. It could very well be he exposes our O. We dont even come close to matching up with their WR's.

Um, your questions on CAR are valid, but they did grab Eric Shelton in the second round. And their DL has issues. I wish we had issues like that!

And, when it comes to SD. Just who do you think we got that can stop LT once he breaks through the line. Everyone we got will be eating his dust, but maybe Eddie Moore. And he probably wont even get on the field.

NE has the ONLY TE I consider more talented then McMichael, and if BB has learned anything, he will probably match-up our S's/LB's all day long wth Ben, and burn us. I think you guys discredit both NE and Buffalo. Saban dont have the tools to match-up with either of them.

It's not Nicks fault, he just dont have the sqaud to play competitive football with these guys yet. I know you want them too win, but I just think you are well-wishing too much. Sure, on paper is looks good, but once on the field, there are match-up problems all day long. We are going to have to have the best pass rush D in the NFL, to keep our secondary from being exposed. And, that just aint going to happen. Can it, sure....anything can happen, but likely, hardly.
must of been picked on in class....
 
AJ is Gonna Chock and We Will Go 1-15 and Draft Matt Linehart With The #1 Pick!
