Did You Know? Miami has played the league’s toughest schedule in each of the last two seasons, based upon the previous-year records of its opponents:
• In 2004, Miami faced teams that had collectively gone 136-120 (.531) the year before.
• In 2005, Miami faced teams that had collectively gone 140-116 (.547) the year before.

The schedule is pretty much pre-determined, and strength of schedule is overrated since parity dictates teams rise and fall every year.

Uh-oh...here come's the conspiracy theorists that say the NFL/ESPN/Stuart Scott hates the Dolphin's.

I understand that, and I'm fully aware that the schedule is pre-determind liek 4-5 years in advance.

But that's where the problems lays, you shouldn't have a 4-12 team, ANY TEAM, having the hardest schedule in the next year, even if it's pre-determined.

You could piss & moan about it, or you could face the teams on your schedule, Nancy. As an addendum, even if you could handicap the schedule, teams improve and regress each year.

Gotta play division games, gotta play inter confs, there are 32 teams. Some good, some bad. Quitcherbitchin dammit.

Ok first off, we only had the hardest strength of schedule last year bc New England went 14-2 the prior year and we play them twice. Which is why they had one of the easiest schedules (bc we were 4-12)

Secondly (and this was mentioned during our first pre season game) although we had the hardest strength of schedule last year (when it was calculate at the beginning of the year) when it was calculated at the end of the year it was actually one of the easiest.

Why are people whining about this? Did we forget what happened in 2005 already?
