how can any dolphin fan be happy with 9 wins? 5 straight years without making the playoffs, 1 playoff appearance in 13 years, no playoff wins in 14 years...wow are the standards around here pathetic. people want to see the team going in the right direction huh??? a qb in his 3rd year and a hc in his 3rd year and 9 wins is perfectly fine for most of you? absolutely unbelievable.

I get the feeling you are missing the point of the OP. This thread isn't about where we HOPE they will be at the end of the year, if thats the case I'm going with 16-0, we are talking about where we think the team will actually finish. I doubt any fans around here would be HAPPY with 7/8 wins, but IMO that is about where we are heading.

i wouldnt be slamming anybody if they predicted 11 or 12 wins. there is plenty of talent on this team, they should have won at the very least 10 games last year. if tannehill is as good as finheaven makes him out to be, we should definitely win at the very least 10 games and make the playoffs. it just seems like for the past 10 years all i read is 8 or 9 wins would be a start in the right direction. its pretty sickening.

Yes it is, I agree with you there. It sucks when 8 or 9 wins is heading up, but all that means is that the year before you won less than that. You say you wouldn't slam anyone for saying the 2014 dolphins will win 11 or 12 games, so does that mean you would be agreeing with them?? If so I would be interested in making a wager with you. We can set up an account and put a hundred on it if ya please....
 
I think 10 wins is very realistic. Just gotta take care of our division opponents
 
I worry that those two losses at the end of last year will cause a hangover going into this season. I think 9 wins is realistic, would I be happy with it? Sadly, yes. I think there's still questions surrounding this team. Tannehill/Wallace ineffectiveness, oline issues remain, Pounceys attitude , poor linebackng, to name a few. I thought we were headed to 11-12 wins the way we started last year, then the bottom fell out. This team could rebound or they could fall to 5-7 wins. Neither would surprise me to tell you the truth.

The Dolphins need to win at home especially against division opponents. You can't get swept by the Bills or Jets and back into the playoffs.
