They did it in 2016 against the Rams and Chargers.I dont think they stayed out west that time, but they did win both games. I think it was Rams and 49ers

Perhaps a little too early, but here are the last 6 games:
@49ers - Winnable, Garoppolo does not scare me
@Chargers - Winnable, the Jaguars dominated them and we are better than the Jags
@Bills - This one will be tough, If I had to bet I'd pick the Bills right now
Packers - This one will be tough, the Packers always play a tough game
@patriots - We are their daddy at this point and Mac Jones may be out
Jets - Easy win
I would say 2 of the last 6 would be against difficult teams. Perhaps we win 3 out of 6 here.
Any chance that Mcdaniel intentionally kept their receptions to a minimum, in anticipation of our short week for our next game?Depends on whose healthy on a given matchup, but outside of the Buffalo rematch, Miami should beat the remaining opponents. That is, they match up well with all those teams and have more overall talent. That is not, they will actually win one of those games. It's the NFL, and Miami is still only 3 games into a new system. I'm very impressed with how quickly McDaniel was able to implement the system and how well the team is playing, and I'm super optimistic about Miami's present and future, but progress isn't typically linear.
On Miami's schedule, Baltimore and Buffalo are the only teams with the firepower and completeness to match or exceed them in talent.
But, Cincinnati, Minnesota, and LAC are certainly good enough to beat Miami on an off day/night. GB has a chance with Rodgers and that D.
I would like to see Miami increase its margin for error by being more aggressive passing to start the game. Tua has been an absolute assassin out of shotgun with some spacing, and fewer plays are getting blown up out of shotgun. Guys are getting open, and Tua is finding them on time. In 2022, he's been nothing short of elite from the gun. He's been good on the PA stuff too, except when rolling right, but Miami has been making more mistakes in general from this alignment. When their drives stall, it's not because Tua isn't finding and hitting his receivers.
Nice as the win was, it was a little frustrating to see Tua have so few opportunities when he was playing so well.
Hill and Waddle should be pretty fresh for Thursday.
I do feel bad for any QB who has the same Doctor who punctured Tyrod Taylor's lungLike I said all off season, 14 teams aren’t happy to see us on their schedule.
I mean I don’t want to get too ahead ourselves here but ya our opponents aren’t very imposing. Can’t take anyone for granted, ie Colts just beat the Chiefs so any given Sunday.
Also looking at the Chargers you almost feel bad for them. Almost.
To win the conference we have to beat the bills 3 times- The Fins are going there to win for home field advantage! Book it!
I can't remember a time since Shula.Power rankings are beyond stupid.
Plus teams that look good in the off-season often are not and vice versa.
How many times has Miami been touted a SuperBowl contender in July and been out of the playoffs by Oct 1?
Hopefully we don’t crumble bc you don’t win any championships in Sept.
How about when we got the Suh and that speed receiver who was a steeler? Between 2001 and 2020 we won every damn offseason and were touted contenders repeatedly….I knew better..I can't remember a time since Shula.
Off-season champs and Super Bowl contenders are 2 different things.How about when we got the Suh and that speed receiver who was a steeler? Between 2001 and 2020 we won every damn offseason and were touted contenders repeatedly….I knew better..

Win, win, win.To win the conference we have to beat the bills 3 times- The Fins are going there to win for home field advantage! Book it!
I agree.I thought of that, but I doubt it. Even if that was the goal, with the score tight in 2H, I suspect he would have changed his mind.
