Mentioned in a few posts the idea of how far the Dolphins had fallen in regards to the media, teams and players looking at the schedule and marking the Dolphins down as a "W"... sad but none the less... it exists.
From SI in writing about NE...
Now maybe the Dolphin D can look at this and gain some traction and take it out on opponents.... unfortunately the offense has a role to play as well... are they up to the challenge?
Based on recent history one would be forced to say no... and with no upgrade at QB.... except what Henne has done to improve himself.... unless we average north of 22+PPG.... we'll be looking up in our own division no matter how good the D.

Looking At The Schedule ...
A 14-2 record is a distinct possibility. It seems unlikely that the Patriots will lose any of their first four games (at Miami, San Diego, at Buffalo, at Oakland) or their last four (at Washington, at Denver, Miami, Buffalo). If they suffer any losses at all they might come during a somewhat daunting eight-game stretch that runs from early October to early December. Games at Pittsburgh, at Jets and at Philadelphia seem particularly difficult. Still, New England should emerge with its fifth 14-plus-win season of the Belichick era. Three of the first four led to Super Bowl appearances.
