Well, here we are in a place most of us didn't expect to be after we started 0-2. A quick glance at the standings shows the Dolphin's at 5-3 and in the midst of a 4 game winning streak. Our rookie QB, who most of us hoped we would get, is under center performing like the standout star that he is. Tua is everything as advertised and is our long awaited answer at QB. Our o-line is coming along very nicely. They've maybe taken a half step back in the last game but there's 3 rookies going in and out of the game and I think these guys can play. The line will only improve as they get snaps together. Parker and Williams have a ton of talent and are making plays all over the field. Zona couldn't stop Williams without getting flags. He was freaking dominant. We have to keep these 2 healthy. The Defense is leading the NFL in points allowed. That's correct we have given up fewer points than anyone. 90 and 91 are chasing QB's out of the ball park. 44, Roberts is the hardest hitting LBer we've had since John Offerdahl imo. Our 2 shut down corners are making it possible to play all kinds of exotic blitz packages that keeps QBs guessing. Some say that our win over Zona was our biggest win in years and they get no argument from me. Our DL was so tough the whole way. Zach Sieler is a brilliant find, he balling out and that's credit to Grier. Tua looked so brilliant and polished! Our defense was playing lights out and they were gang tackling and they were excited. How great is our kicker Jason Sanders. He only won us the game. He's a weapon.

So, the question is, how good is this team. How far can we go? Are we going to beat Buffalo when we face them next? We have Denver in Denver, the Jet's at home, then the Bengals at home. Can we win all 3 and go to 8-3 heading into a rougher patch of the schedule which is chiefs then the Pats at home then were at the Raiders. The last game could be a huge one up in Buffalo in the snow. Will we go 10-6 or will we be better? Or will it go the other way. I think Coach Flores has done a masterful job with the Dolphin's. Tua's is only going to get better and better!! I see us finishing 11-5 and winning the AFC East by virtue of beating the Bill's at their house in December. If we advance are we ready to play teams like the Steelers or the Packers? What do you guys think? How good are we?
 
Agreed on the Chargers... don't look past them. Herbert has put them into position to win a couple of games that others frittered away... a missed FG and a couple of dropped passes cost them at least two wins.
The three following games are all easier than Sunday's game. This is the one to key upon; if we handle the Chargers easily... then the sky is the limit.
 
I feel Miami has shown they are ahead of the curve, regarding the rebuild. In large part, due to the Veteran F/A signings coming in and Contributing right away. This hasn't happened a lot in Miami where they've gotten immediate production from a F/A class. Also the 2nd yr players have improved over last season and are giving solid play all around.

The rookie class IMHO has also helped catapulted the team into a more complete team. They are helping this entire franchise with developing a winning culture. This draft class may eventually go down as one of the franchises best.

Add in an apparent top notch coach in Brian Flores and you get a team who's winning against all odds. Love the direction the Dolphins are headed. If they can replicate what they've done with the 2020 draft class, with another strong class in 2021; I believe Miami will have finally laid the footprint to a sustainable winning product. Because of the youth and young vets all Contributing some seriously good football.
 
Look at that AFC gangbang at the top. There an over/under on Super Bowl winner conference yet?
 
We're going to pressure the hell out of Herbert. He's not like Kyler where he's next to impossible to sack, we'll get to him early and rattled him. That should lead to a pick or 2 and maybe another strip sack! I'm looking at today's sports section here in Miami and Omar the complete jerk gave our passing game a C against Arizona! A C??????????????? He's such an ass!! Tua gets a B plus or A minus at least. C is average, Tua was great. Coaching gets a b minus from that clown. 5 coaches were out and the others stepped up and brought home a win, that an A plus!
 
Maybe a 10 win ceiling. Still need an actual good RB and potentially a #2 WR. I hope those are acquired with two of their top four picks. Also need another LB and a DE in who I hope is drafted with the other two picks.

Yes, and Denver scored a TD on the last play to beat them two weeks ago. The Chargers should probably be around the 20 mark in rankings. They are not a pushover
 
Miami top 10 makes sense to me...

the one that stands out as too low to me is the Chargers. They should at least be top 25
Agreed. The Chargers are a better team than their record indicates.
