A Look at the Remaining Schedule

[armyphin]

BYE - Can't afford to lose this one.

Vegas has the Dolphins +3

I'm not prepared to call that Charger game a "W", even if they're traveling across the country. They just beat a really good Seahawks team. That counts for something in my book.

Agree - they might be the sleeper AFC team this year that makes a deep run.

How can anyone watch what we did yesterday and declare any game a lock?

I don't think anyone declared any of these games a lock? For instance, even though Oakland is one of the worst football teams in the NFL and we play them in a neutral site game, they could damn well win it. I predict a win, but I fully acknowledge the Dolphins could go out there and **** the bed. That wouldn't even surprise me at this point, but I still like the matchup.

No one is declaring anything except picks.

If these predictions come true, then it is rebuilding time once again!!!!!! 2-3 years before we get some stability.

Here is mine:

CHIEFS - L
@Raiders (London) - W
BYE
PACKERS - L
@Bears - L
@Jaguars - W
CHARGERS - L
@Lions - L
BILLS - L
@Broncos - L
@Jets - L
RAVENS - L
@Patriots - L
VIKINGS - W
JETS - L

4-12 and high draft pick. We are all pissed they suck so much, but cannot get over the loss of Moreno and others and blow a few games late that they had won. I say it starts with a early 4th quarter lead vs KC, only to lose it in final minute(s). Bills, and home to Jets will also be late blown leads that they lose. Ravens will be up 17 early and Dolphins claw back to lose by only 1 in that one.

Best case, 6-10, but that will be tough. 5-11 is prob more probable overall.

Amazed at how so many are taking the Chiefs for granted. Mark that down as a loss. An 0-2 team that is on the road playing desperate football against a team with mediocre QB play and a plus minus ratio that continues at a negative pace. I'll take the desperate team for the win.

 

[DolfanISS]

So we lose 1 game and now are on track to lose 12? Makes perfect sense.

Thursday night might give us a boost against the Bills. Home teams seem to fare well in those games. I wanted to attend one game this season so I bought a low upper deck ticket to that game for 33 bucks. No worries about the sun in my face. I deal with enough of that on the golf course.

I was worried about 0-2 given the scheduling so 1-1 is a head start.

Maybe we catch a break with a determined Chiefs team that is missing enough key components to partially negate their intensity level. BTW, the first 65,000 fans at that game receive some type of handout. I don't remember what it is but I heard it on the radio. I hope all those fans above the 65,000 don't throw a tantrum that makes headlines and videos.

Here is the email that was sent.

This Sunday your Miami Dolphins take on the Kansas City Chiefs and it's going to be AQUA OUT! The first 65,000 fans in attendance will receive a FREE aqua t-shirt! We need you to OWN AQUA and help create the home field advantage! Only a limited number of tickets still remain.

11-5 or 10-6 I put us to win against the packs because their defense is a suspect and we at home. Now Tannehill has to play better, After the bye week we should have most of our guys healthy. People overreact on just one game that we knew it was going to be tough...

 

[phins_4_ever]

I had Miami losing the first 2 games this year and winning the KC/OAK games to be 3-1 at the bye. This was under the assumption that injuries were minor so with Moreno and Shelley Smith out a few weeks and the offense not doing well, I still think my prediction of 7-9 overall is OK. Here's what I think based on the last 2 weeks:

CHIEFS - W
@Raiders (London) - W
BYE
PACKERS - L
@Bears - L
@Jaguars - W
CHARGERS - W
@Lions - L
BILLS - L
@Broncos - L

Kansas City starts 0-2 all the time. They seem to lead the league. I'm aware of that because I get stuck betting them frequently in that third game. Last year was a rare exception to the 0-2 beginning. Most of my trends focus on the road team but that 0-2 scenario also applies to the home team if certain conditions hold up. It's a high energy spot. Kansas City typically fared best at 0-2 at home but I did cash tickets on them in 2011 and 2012 when they lost the first two games and then were huge underdogs on the road. They should have defeated San Diego as 15 point road underdogs in 2011 and did upset the Saints as 9.5 point dog in 2012.

This time obviously it's a new regime but also missing some key players. Miami should run the ball smack at the Chiefs in the first half, with no fewer than 18 rushes. Read option looks and power sets. There's no more effective method to neutralize an opponent's intensity level than to physically pound away at them. Our running back injuries are irrelevant. Use whoever you have and run the ball.

I expect some high paced aggressive darts from Alex Smith off play action. Keep in mind that the Chiefs are hardly unfamiliar with playing with their second unit. In the finale at San Diego last season they had nothing to play for and rested virtually everybody in anticipation of the playoffs yet played very inspired football and should have won the game other than a missed chippy field goal.

Judging by how we have played, how can any of you pencil us in as a win against anyone?

 

[DuderinoN703]

I struggled with that one myself, but we tend to play them well when they travel to Miami. The Chargers are similar to the Dolphins in the sense that they can win big games, but then put together a stinker.

That would be so Dolphins to break a 6 game losing streak to win the last two games to get worse draft position and miss the playoffs by a game or two.

Basically. I don't see a win at Detroit. The Lions will score 28+. Miami can't beat Buffalo. There's no chance they win in Denver. The Jets game could be interesting. They can't beat the Ravens. They aren't winning in New England.

They might go 2-4 in that stretch at best.

Who the hell said anything about a lock?
