It's an entirely different feeling playing as an underdog as compared to being favored. So far, the strength of this team has been the weekly focus and effort. Will that be the same over the next few weeks when Miami is actually favored to win? In a sense, I think the next three-game stretch is the most important of the season. The Dolphins very well could come out of it 9-3 if they can maintain their energy and focus. But a letdown against any NFL team is dangerous.

Thankfully, This team including the players and coaching staff seem to really preach one game at a time mentality.
I feel none of us know this team well enough to say they'll be 9-3 down in the next couple of games.
But i think we do know this coaching staff won't allow them to start thinking about KC until it's time to play KC.

This is exciting! Who would of thought a 9-7, 10-5, 11-4, 12-3 season was possible, so fast, so soon?

Team is grounded and grinding. Those who have been in the mix since beginning of last season
know the battle to become winners -- and know what they've done to achieve + believe.
Excellent mix of leader types and dudes that are focused + hungry!
Pretty obvious Flo & Grier have built a solid, sustainable product.

And (bonus point) they don't put up with babies and
mommy boys like Stinkah Fitzpatrick.

:lol:
 
They will handle it just fine. We are favored 2.5 over the Broncos as of this morning as the monies are pouring for the Dolphins by Saturday I see it going to 5.5. It will be cold on Sunday with possible snow flurries. So I am gonna go 31-20 Dolphins final.
 
I truly believe they are actually practicing the one game at a time mentality - in that the preparation effort for each team doesn't drop off. Chargers game was called a trap game by some posters here. If so they avoided the trap. And you hear players talk about other teams winning and losing without acting like it's profanity so it's not like it's just talk conditioning.
 
Denver is a bad team coming off an embarrassing defeat. I expect their energy and focus to be high.

Not saying the Broncos win, but this could be more of a challenge than fans expect. It's just the nature of the NFL.
 
We were favored by the same amount vs the Chargers.

Team seems to be focused, but still a work in progress as far as execution.
