DOES NOT COMPUTE. Teams and individuals, from all sports, come out out nowhere to win titles and stat wise should not. Guess it's that damn human element in the way. :)

You're misunderstanding the post. In the past three games, the Dolphins have done better than 99% of the teams in the league with regard to yards due to penalties.

But that's part of the point. I'm not so sure the point you're talking about in October was all that low. I suspect it was, again, part of the typical variation in play associated with an average team, rather than anything that could be uniquely associated with a poor team. It may have seemed low to us, subjectively, at the time, but I doubt what they were doing objectively, in terms of stable team attributes, was any worse than average.
It's not over until the junior stats geek declares that confidence bias stings

The team is also near the bottom of the league in number of penalties and yards per play due to penalties. In fact, over the last three games they're below the 1st percentile in the league in the latter.
Sho, "bottom of the league" is very misleading. No?

This is the truth good sir. Off the top of my head I can remember 8 or 9 deep balls that if had been completed would have been touchdowns...that's alot of points. When they finally get on the same page, I honestly believe it's gonna be scary......you know, for the rest of the NFL anyways
How does being "at the top of the league with regard to yards per play due to penalties" sound?

Shourigt goes to show that, if you torture statistics enough, they'll confess to anything.
I think you'll find far more objective support for the notion that people often attempt to discredit a source that provides information that's inconsistent with what they'd like to believe.

actually, we'll hear it from you LAST. You see, you are WAY BEHIND recognizing what 95% of football observers already know. Personally, I don't care if you EVER recognize, but it does kind of get on my nerves for someone who is so far behind the eightball to proclaim that he was one of the first.
No, sir, you are officially on record as not recognizing how really good this QB is. Be a man and own that if you ever change your position.
Actually I'm on record -- if that means anything -- as doing the only predictive analyses I know of that involve a large number of variables, and ironically (in light of your post), they're favorable to Tannehill:

That said, however, they aren't perfect, and he'll need to demonstrate sustained success in the present for me to jump on the bandwagon completely.

Let's not forget that the strength of schedule was harder this year than last. We've had some major challenges this year, yet have made progress. We still have many pieces to account for next off-season. For now, just need to beat the Bills and Jets.

I have a stat. Shouright annoys me 100 percent of the time. JS
Sounds like you need to develop some better interpersonal boundaries.

Turn around?
Dolphins started off strong, lost a few along the way and are now back on a roll.
The only unexpected losses were to the Bills and Buccaneers.
Saints, Ravens, Patriots and Panthers were all games that could have gone either way. Nothing shocking here, most pre-season predictions probably had the Dolphins losing most of those games. Aside from the Saints, the Dolphins were competitive in all of their losses.
The Dolphins are on track to a 10 - 6 season and a wildcard spot which is where most realistic homers would have put them at the beginning of the season.
