"fins Will Be Harder To Beat As Season Goes On"

Spoilers? Were in the mix. Spoilers are teams that have no shot at winning anything and upset someone who does. It will be the Jests trying to play spoiler to us on the final week of the season.

Right on WV you think any offensive line wants to face Porter, Roth, and Crowder right now? None are rookies, and all can change the momentum and outcome of the game.

BTW- We have the same record as the colts..............
 
Thanks. That's good to hear.

I don't know if I completely agree though. I think some players will be playing better and tougher football.

You have to remember that we have some young players that are going to start wearing down in the last half of the season though. Long, Merling, and Langford aren't used to 4 preseason games plus 16 season games. It will be interesting to see how they hold up.

First off, they are athletes and I doubt they would have gotten this far if they were wearing out late in the year. Plus YOUNGER guys tend to be better fit anyway, older bodies are the ones that wear down quicker.

ANYWAY...you forgot to mention the postseason games they are going to have to play as well PHINS RULE!!!!!!:wink:
 
I do believe that coaching and leadership have had the greatest impact on the season so far... Two things that will have dramatic impact on games as things go on.

The fact is we are a tough team to play already and seem to have truly adopted a 'never say die' attitude... Those types of teams always manage to grind out wins late in the season.

I'm just ecstatic to see a team that competes every Sunday ('Zona aside)...
 
Absolutely will see marked improvement with time if our relative injury free status remains high comparatively
 
I wouldn't get too excited, we are an 8-8 squad that's rebuilding. We are going to go up and down, win-loss-win-loss through the rest of the season.

We might beat Denver but I don't see us winning 3-4-5 games in a row. We are definitely fun to watch and I look forward to the Broncos game. I don't like that team ever since they kicked are *** in that playoff game a few years back....Terrell Davis was unstoppable.

What the Phins are currently is 3-4 and in the thick of things. They will only be 8-8 when/if they finish at 8-8.

Until then, the Dolphins have a shot.

You have to keep in mind the whole rookie experience. During high school and college the play the season and just some off season training programs. But then they went an entire season in college last year, then played their respective bowl games. From there they immediately go to intense training for the combine. Getting their forty timesdown and working with individual specialist for pro days. they spend the next couple months trying to get all the measurables as great as possible. Then they get drafted and spend time in rookie camp and voluntary work outs, then they are at camp trying as hard as they can to get caught up to speed with the nfl and play books and teammates. Lol then its 4 preason games and 16 regular season games. ITs alot to handle.
Athletes or not, its more than just a few extra games, it's more like 18 months non stop. Thats why rookies tend to burn out a bit before the season ends.
 
lol, its funny how you guys know and predict our final record for the end of the year, I wish I had that type of knowledge.

Forreal though, I have no idea how were going to do but I'm just hoping we win the games we should win such as Oakland/Seattle/San Fran. Of course were going to have to win some tough ones, this match up this weekend will show us if we have a legit shot at making a run.
 
Welcome to Finheaven. Truth be told I think there's alot of overachieveing going on right now. It could go either way.

I don't believe in overachieving.....if you achieve something then it means you could achieve it...I do believe in UNDERACHIEVING tho....you may have the talent and not get the results....but you get something done it means you could get it done,or else you wouldn't get it done...just my opinion.

Ozzy rules!!

Taken into account. I'm sure they had a workload in Highschool, I know It seemed harder to me. Not only did we have to play both ways in highschool and special teams. I, atleast, had all these classes and staying up late to finish my Advanced Placement classes. getting barely any sleep and still managing practice everyday and game every week. I find the college life way easier.

But I agree, unlike "I", the good players get ALL that stuff you listed above, so I can see why they would definately tire out a lot faster than veterans would. I do not have NFL talent by Anymeans, so I guess I would never get to experience "all" that first hand (Kinda makes me happy now thinking about it lol). Great points that I definately never took into account. Always continuing to learn more every day :lol:

Thanks Man :up:

You can believe in whatever you want. IMO every player has a mean level of ability. They can be pushed beyond it, but, not regularly or all the time..It's like sprinting during a marathon.

I think you're right on that last game. Could be the final spot for the playoffs decided. I am really starting to believe that this team has a shot at the post season. Wouldn't that be something if the last game was the flex game on Sunday night?
