The Dolphins went 1-3 against playoff teams, including their post-season game against the Ravens. All of their wins except for two came against teams that were .500 or under.

One of the wins against an above .500 team was when the Dolphins unleashed the Wildcat for the first time on the Patriots. The second of those wins was against the Jets in the season finale when Brett Favre looked like he belonged anywhere but on a football field.

The Dolphins were not a fluke. They were a good team. In 2008 they were able to beat all the bad to mediocre teams they faced, save for the Texans.

However, in 2009 there is no longer a schedule full of games that put the Dolphins against the league's worst. In fact it is quite the opposite.

so what did you think of the article? agree/disagree?
 
i can't see us being swept by the pats,i think we win 1 against them,i can see a sweep of the bills again,and if we're lucky,or just that good,i can see a sweep of the jets also...i can see us with a winning record by the end of the season...
 
I can see this record but I do think we pull one more out. The whole article is based on last year. Its almost like they are saying that everything on paper is fact. Its a bit rediculous.

I actually think reality is that teams are scared of us.

I know Peyton Manning. He hates playing the fins, especially in Miami. He has us winning that one but the opines are all based on schedule and last year.

That is just not reality. REality is that we are even better than we are last year so any tough schedule is equalized. He uses Shawn Merriman as being back. Well, how do we know that? Tom Brady is scary. I am not scared when we beat that SOB with a crappy team!!!!TWICE!!!

Its unreal on many levels. Its just based on the past. There will be more teams who come through like DEtroit who everyone will look past and then surprise!!!! KC is going to be a good team. Teams are not all going to remain the same. As proven by us and Atlanta last year.

Our team is better because we have more depth at every position than we have ever had! We have unknown talent that gets overlooked because we are not a sexy team to talk about every week. But when reality hits, they start changing their tune quickly.

WILDCAT is gonna be wilder for sure! The New Englan Patriots are overrated albeit good! They have alot of young guys now who do not really have that moxy that the older guys have had. No Harrison, No consistant DB play. Bunch of second round rookies comin in to get major PT. The offensive line is really not that great and they have some holes there. Matt Light is hating looking at JT and Porter at the same time!

So dont believe this schedule crap. Its really crap crap crap that is spewed and repeated to the point of boredom.

exactly...no games have been played yet...right now we have the toughest schedule on paper...games don't get played on paper....i can't wait to get roughly a quarter of the season under our belts so we can get a better feel for how our phins are doing and how the rest of our season will go...
 
THE 2009 DOLPHINS


This year of two thousand and nine,
The Dolphins can win most any time.
The players are strong,big and fast,
Their heat conditioning will cause opponents to gasp.


The Wild Cat last year was just a kitten.
The Pat Cat this year will leave you smitten.
Try to stop them by crowding the line.
They will throw over the top and score anytime.


Sometime you will think they will go around end.
That's when they will pass to one of their other three men.
Their pass to WR's, RB's or TE's will make you do a diddle.
Or they may sneak a run right up the middle.


The Dolphin's O-Line this year was expanded,
They now can protect the QB even if he's left handed.
The Guards can pull and block a would be sacker,
While the Tackle can block the Middle Linebacker.


The RB's will go through the wide open gaps,
They will go by the Inside Linebacker the TE just zapped.
The WR will block the Safety even if he is Free,
Then the RB will cross the goal line for a Dolphin's TD.


The Fans in their new “Land Shark” home,
will sing and dance while opponents moan.
The players will jump and do the celebrations they must,
While opponents will throw helmets and quote “In Tuna They Trust”.


That's not all the Opponents will fear,
Because the Dolphin's Defense is much better this year.
The NT and Defensive Ends,
Will do whatever it takes for wins.


The OLB's will help the front three bring QB heat
So as AFC Division Champs the Dolphin's can repeat.
We've now got two OLB to see us through
And they, by example, will teach our new.


Our ST''s will be much better I'm sure,
Because their Kick Offs and Returns will be pure.
I can hardly wait to see the gunners,
and how fast our Receivers become TD runners.


The Punts and PAT 'S will be very big STATS,
So to this year's Dolphins I tip my hat.


Welcome back JT.
