I understand the Dolphins appear to be at the very least disorganized right now. I KNOW they ended up 6-10. However, what this weekend in the NFL showed is that no team is ever that far way from making a run in the playoffs.
I hear all the time around here about going 9-7 or 10-6 and "just getting a Wildcard" is simply being mediocre. IMO, it is all about getting in and giving yourself a chance. A chance to get some good match ups, catch a few breaks and make a run...
Look at the Fins right now...tell me they would not have a chance to beat Houston last week in the 1st round? While I believe the Pats would have beaten the Fins the following week, I would also concede that after seeing Baltimore yesterday, the Fins could have matched up with them and won a close game.
My point is that while we might feel like we are in the abyss right now, with more direction from the top, consistent QB play, a strong FA offseason and quality draft, I feel the Fins can make a run in the near future.
