Am i missing something?

as we approach the beginning of the season tonight, and our opening game on Monday, i continue to read all sorts of NFL related things as i always do.

what i keep reading is all sorts of journalists, nfl related people, etc, thinking we are going to win 4-6 games, and heck i even read one where someone said 3 is a real possiblity. that would put us basically on par with our 2004 team which was 10 times less talented then this one.

So that begs my question, is their something im missing? did we lose like half our defensive players to ir already, did we lose long for the season, or Marshall, etc? because their is no way in hell this team is that bad with this type of talent. i just feel that i maybe missing something because you cant have everyone putting you at 4-6 wins with this type of team and not have any injury problems.

dont get me wrong, their are some question marks, but considering we hit rock bottom last year on offense and with a lesser type of defense last year, yet we still managed to win 7 games, which is nothing to write home about, but nonetheless is not bottom 5 bad.

this team i believe, assuming health will win anywhere from 9-12 games. we have the defense to stay in any game, and our offense i feel can be pretty solid as long as henne plays somewhat decent. does not even need to be great, just solid.

Yes we are missing confidence my man confidence. Until we find it regardless of the talent level this team like any team will under perform. I agree with your observations about the talent level being decent with my concerns on the OL and thin running back position. All other areas are looking improved unless Henne preseason was a brain fart.
 
Haven't you heard? We are going to lose every game and finish 32nd in the league in offense because of Marc Colombo.
 
We looked bad at the end of last year. Then we lose Ricky and Ronnie and pick up Bush who shouldn't be an every down back and Daniel Thomas who no one is that excited about. We tried getting a new head coach, but did it in a way that looks like we are desperate to upgrade at HC. Then we go after Orton and fail making it look like we have no faith in Henne. Then the fans boo Henne at practice and chant we want Orton. From an outside perspective it would seem this team is a total mess. If I wasn't a Dolphin fan and didn't closely follow the team I would think 4 or 5 wins a definite possibility. Plus the O line is horrible.
Plus we hired an OC who oversaw an offense that was even worse than ours last year...
 
:sorry: I really hope I didn't jynx it now. We were always contenders but would forget to show up to the fight some seasons.

I'm one of the most superstitious folks out there, when it comes to the Phins. I agree with you, but I am just to nervous to believe. I've been let down way too many times the last 35yrs. :crazy:
