I agree with their assessment, altho I said 3-13. But I could see 2-14. As long as those 2 wins are against the Jets.
This team is in a downward spiral and won't start climbing upward until Tannenbum is gone. He's the worst GM ever. He goes... then we can start improving. Need to get Dan to take the GM job

And that is the big problem we have, Tannehill is good enough to get you 6 wins or maybe 8 or so but he's not going to get you much beyond that. That's killing us slowly because we are always picking in the middle of the pack and we are always waiting for that breakout season when he goes from mediocre to great, "maybe next year" has been the mantra.
Would much prefer a 2-14 than what we'll get which is as you say 6 or so wins.
Yeah, and that normally goes well for the team that has pick of the litter. Miami couldn't lose 14 games on purpose, ESPN on the other hand could easily go an entire week, without ever making one good prediction. Congrats ESPN on what you have become, you people must be pretty proud.

I’d say 2-14 would be no surprise here. Miami has done nothing yet to change anyone’s perception.

2018 schedule
WK1 v Titans: A play off team last year that has strengthened their roster, I'd say loss.
WK2 @ Jets: Always tough to predict divisional games.
WK3 v Raiders: I'm not convinced they'll be a force next year but if they do rebound under Gruden I can see this being loss.
WK4 @ Patriots: Unless Brady and Brink retire, this will most likely be a loss.
WK5 @ Bengals: Another lackluster team that will be looking to bounce back.
WK6 v Bears: Tough defense and potentially an upgraded offense. Could be tough but I'd fancy us to win this one.
WK7 v Lions: New coach should improve their defense and their offense is usually good. I'd probably predict a loss here.
WK8 @ Texans: If Watson comeback and plays like he did last year this is a loss for us.
WK9 v Jets: Flip a coin.
WK10 @ Packers: I can't see anything but a loss here unless Rodgers is hurt again.
WK 12 @ Colts: If Luck is back playing at his usual level this is a tough game. If he's not then this is winnable.
WK13 v Bills: I think they'll be similar to us this year unless their new QB turns out to be an upgrade. Flip a coin.
WK14 v Patriots: A loss here.
WK15 @ Vikings: Another loss.
WK16 v Jaguars: Another loss.
WK17 @ Bills: Could be a tough end to the year if the weather's bad. Flip a coin.
So currently I'd say we've got 9 games I'd predict us to lose, though a couple of them are winnable if their QB situation is poor (Colts and texans). Then the rest could go either way. I think a realistic prediction without my dolphins hat on would be a similar win count to last year with some upside if the team clicks. However, if our offense doesn't improve (It's possible if Drake was a one year wonder and Tannehill struggles or gets hurt again) and our defense struggles, a couple of wins is certainly possible if those flip a coin games go against us.

This might be the weirdest comparison I've seen on this board. You're comparing football teams to pop/rock bands?
Where does 2-14 come from? The title is flat out false....
They actually predict 8-8, which in this case, really means: We dont know so we're going the safe route...

Haha I work in music so maybe that just relates to my life. My point was that times are different in 2018 in most fields
