3. Will the Dolphins recover from their 1-4 start to make the playoffs?

Hoge: No, they won't, because they have too many deficiencies offensively. They have obvious problems at quarterback, and when that position goes sour, the rest of the offense is soon to follow. The offensive line also has been way too inconsistent for them to run the ball down the throats of opposing teams, and they aren't good enough defensively to carry this offense. The front seven is good but not great, and the secondary hasn't been on the same page. It will be too hard for the Dolphins to rebound and get to the playoffs.
Schlereth: No, Miami isn't a very good football team. Joey Harrington isn't much of an upgrade over Daunte Culpepper at QB, and they aren't very good up front offensively. I don't care how talented your team is; if you don't block, you don't win. This team is atrocious at times on the line of scrimmage, and they aren't even close to being a playoff team.
Salisbury: There is no chance this team makes the playoffs. Miami does nothing particularly well. What would you name as a team strength? I can't think of anything they do better than most teams in the league. The Patriots will have this division wrapped up extremely early, and the Dolphins are going down as the biggest disappointment of the season.
Allen: This team is done. They don't have a good enough offensive line to compete and their quarterback situation is in such rough shape that they aren't going to be able to make plays in the passing game. Sadly, this team's defense is also on the decline and that doesn't bode well for this squad."

Its question 3.



Salisbury hates us :boohoo::rolleyes2

Lol mispelled start :smack: I shouldnt make topics so early.
 
Nobody lied there ...........
 
They were all telling the truth. The o-line stinks.
 
They brought up some good points. But hopefully we can pull off a miracle and make the playoffs to prove those guys wrong, but i dont see it happening.
 
Yeah and when the Dolphins make the playoffs what are they gonna say then!
 
They can all go to hell.......I still love my team.

They're right about the offense, but our defense in decline? We're ranked #5!
Take off the rose-colored glasses :rolleyes: Statistical rankings don't tell the whole story. Our defense has been better than average as a whole for many years, but the truth of the matter is they never get it done when needed. They always break, or give up a stupid penalty.
 
I didn't think Miami was a playoff team but since Salisbury said there's no chance I think we might make it now.
 
Yes!!!!

We don't do anything well. They are right. But I believe in the talent..(gasp) on that o-line!

I believe in the O-Line coach, Mr. Hauck.

I believe we will begin this week, beating the Jets, gain some confidence, and show how good we can be with Joey Harrington, and how good we are, later this year with a mobile Daunte Culpepper.

I believe..

I'm not dumb, I'm not that naive. But I believe in my team. I refuse to turn on any of them.. It will take the 11 on the field at that time to jel, and get used to being a team. The best team..

Peace.

Someone hasn't been watching games this season. The defense has performed excellently, especially against New England.

Thank you for pointing that out at least we have one major thing improved against New England. Our defence did amazingly well especially against their run.
