They have been letting us down for ever...but we all continue to hope.....article in Miami Herald.....
Get this: Football Outsiders, a respected web site, has the Dolphins as the sixth-most likely team to win the Super Bowl.The caveat: Miami is given only a 3.4 percent chance to win the Super Bowl. But that’s behind only New England (27 percent), Seattle (20.8 percent), Dallas (15.4 percent), Oakland (7.4 percent) and Atlanta (6.4 percent). Right behind Miami: Denver, Kansas City and Washington.
Here’s the FootballOutsiders.com full list. The first category is odds of appearing in the conference championship game, followed by odds of winning the conference championship, followed by odds of winning the Super Bowl:
• Though Miami is 26th in total offense, it’s the only AFC team averaging at least six yards on first down and has the AFC’s third-leading rusher (Jay Ajayi) and receiver (Jarvis Landry).
• The Dolphins added an offensive lineman for the second day in a row, adding 6-6, 309-pound Iowa rookie Jesse Davis to their practice squad.
