FFL Mastermind's AFC East Predictions

[FinsFan71]

Hello once more my fellow Phins fans: :dolphins:

Found this new AFC East breakdown on Fantasy Football Mastermind. And I checked, it hasn't been posted yet. So here it is......

AFC East:

1. New England Patriots:

Same ol’ Patriots, same ol’ winning year. New England is still the class of the AFC East. With all the changes in their division, they look to have a lock on the East for quite sometime.

****2. Miami Dolphins:

Nick Saban is a miracle-worker in south Florida, and continues to build a winner through some shrewd off-season moves. The Fins will have a solid season and return to the postseason, while Ricky freezes by his green leafy self north of the border. A phrase we will hear often in 2006: “Culpepper to Chambers, touchdown!â€Â

3. Buffalo Bills:

Anemic offense. Solid defense. So, what does Buffalo do in the draft? They draft more defense. If anyone wonders why the Bills are out of contention by Halloween, look no further than the Radio City Music Hall in New York on the weekend of April 29-30, 2006.

4. New York Jets:

Herm Edwards knew this team was about to implode, and got out before the shrapnel shower began. Let the rebuilding begin. The Jets had a solid draft and have some decent free agency moves, but they are far from contention with the Patriots and Dolphins in this division. They call it rebuilding for a reason, folks!


Although, like many other mags, this issue has us finishing second. It does make one valid point....we will see and hear C'Pep to Chambers-- touchdown!!!!!! Over and over this year.

Goooooooooo Phinsssssssssssssss!!!!!!!!

Your feedback is welcomed....

The Patriots are still better than us at beating the Jets and Bills. For that reason alone I will continue to rate them ahead of us.

But here's the difference. You gave a sound, knowledgeable, non-Homerish reason why you would rate the Pats above us.

While this guy....

Totally disregards the changes that were made to the Pats themselves. This guy's is being a bit of a Homer.

 

[PeachFins]

I like the sound of culpepper to chambers,touchdown. haha it has a catch.

I also like ''Touchdown, Ronnie BROWN!''

Ck, how about getting with the program? Why don't you jump on the team and come on in for the big win?

Also, we beat the Jets with Sage pretty much playing most of the second game and I think the second half of the Bills game in Miami is closer to what is reality rather than the first half. I believe that our ability to beat the Jets and Bills has drastically improved and therefore I say we are even with the Patriots.

I think he was accurate, if you'd note last year, the reason we didn't win the east was splitting with the bills and jets, sad, while th pats swiped their butts up.

Doesn't matter if he's accurate or not. If he's a Dolfan, he needs to act like one. When he's doing his writing, he can be as objective as he likes, but not here.

I'm sorry I didn't realize you'd bought FinHeaven from Andrew.

You're right the dude didn't make an effort at all to explain himself. IMO, he has the right conclusion. He MAY have the right reasons, but he certainly didn't offer them up. It's bs to just say the Pats are still the class of the East and leave it at that.

Please, by all means, be what you are. But, at least have the honesty to call it. You're a dedicated journalist who is decently fair, but has a slight bias for the Dolphins. Hey, more power to you, the Fins needs more writers on its side. But, I've yet to see anything from you that demonstrates fanatical feelings or behavior where this team is concerned.

Btw, in case you need a definition:

fa·nat·ic ([FONT=verdana,sans-serif] P [/FONT]) Pronunciation Key (f

-n

t

k)
n. A person marked or motivated by an extreme, unreasoning enthusiasm, as for a cause.

Though the word "fan" may derive from "fanatic," I believe the word has taken on new meanings, just like thousands of other words and phrases in the english language.

But if you insist that I'm not a Dolfan unless I have an extreme, unreasoning enthusiasm for the team, then I suggest you just watch me on game day some time.

In the meantime, it's a little low rent to try telling message boarders how to be message boarders...or to tell a Dolfan how to be a Dolfan.

your wrong. objective is important everywhere. the dolphins will have a great season but they need to have success in the division before people get their hopes up.

There's as many different kinds of message boarders as there are kinds of people. Some don't even like to type anything, they just read what others say. Some like to just come on and type stuff supporting the phins, and don't like to put much thought into things (cuz they probably have a lot better things to be putting their thoughts into, like their careers). There are even occasional message boarders that like to dump on everything the team does...sort of like the anti-fan Randy Quaid's character in Major League II (electric boogaloo).

Others like to write stuff for the enjoyment of other people. A very small number of people might not appreciate the virtue of informed objectivity in the stuff that they read, but I believe the vast majority of others do. In fact, when I've been criticized in the past for my views on Joey Harrington, most often it is an accusation that my objectivity has been compromised and I have gone biased.
