Just posted this as well, apologize...
Its hard for me to talk about my favorite football team without a certain level of homerism but I will try... While I do understand people who share that sentiment, I dont agree.
We have to show more consistencty before people believe. We've already gained some respect around the league with the media attention and primetime games. As far as higher expectations are concerned, we'll start getting that when we start winning consistently. After we navigate this tough schedule and make the playoffs this year the perception of the Dolphins will flip big time.
I'm on record saying I think the Dolphins are on the cusp of building a sustainable winner and return to the playoffs this season. Last year wasnt a fluke; we are a young, well coached, talented, hard nosed, mentally tough football team. Greatness is on the horizon

Every year we hear about how tough a schedule is going to be, only to then claim that any success was due to said schedule was too easy.
Going into last year we were predicted to fail because our schedule was to difficult. When we beat expectations, it was because our season was too easy.
Predictions based on strength of schedule don't mean jack.

What a strange article. I guess we should all go into a coma now and regain concsciouness after this 4-12 upcoming year.

The lack of respect from the media is hard to understand considering how well Miami did last year after an awful 1-4 start. Saying there are low expectations for 2017 is laughable. How many fans have low expectations? Does Adam Gase have low expectations? I don't think so.
Looking at the AFC there are a lot of talented teams and the playoff race should include many teams. So, yes, it is possible that the Dolphins fail to make the playoffs. But a top five pick would mean a total collapse by a team that most of us see as on the rise.

and that's why they play the games...

I have an article I just wrote too- it's called 'ESPN more likely to lay off more employees and continue to sink like a stone than to be 'worldwide leader' '. I recommend everyone give it a read.
