It' just a list, but it's good to know someone is believing in the team.

"[h=2]10. Miami Dolphins[/h] For reasons known only to owner Stephen Ross, Joe Philbin will return as head coach. With talent on the lines and at the skill positions, and if Ryan Tannehill can correct his deep-passing accuracy, the Dolphins will finally take that big step forward. "
 
they're high on something.. :lol:

I will wait to see what we do this offseason. With the right moves, we can definitely be in contention. Too early to tell at this point and im afraid we are going to regress if we chop half the team off (including Wallace).

Which ones do you prefer? The ones that have us in the 10-15 range, 16-21 range or the 22-26 range?

Either way these threads will be posted. You always have the option of not reading them but clearly you are interested.
 
I understand not having an optimistic view of the Dolphins. I don't understand having to enforce that bias against people or organizations that don't constantly reinforce that view. If you don't like threads that dare see a positive in our situation, then don't fracking click on them and then have the temerity to complain in them.

Here's an idea, start your own goddamned website, you can call it: www.finhatin.com . Then you can have your 24 hour non-stop f_cking Debbie Downer tea parties over there. Nobody put a f_cking gun to your head and made you click on the thread.
 
Sounds great to me! I'm all in with a top 10 team. Whole new season.. Gotta go in positive :up:
 
It is always interesting what outsiders think of the Fins.
I don't have an opinion on this article either way really. But, you have to wonder if these guys watch the games. I don't think 10 is too far off what the Fins were last year until the defense collapsed.
Their is some talent on the lines as the author mentioned. The issue is there are also some HUUUGE holes.
 
It's refreshing to see a list that ranks the team this high after reading all the doomsday threads on this site. I don't think we are top 10 right now, but close to it.

And this article will turn how many losses into wins?
Every year this board has a bunch of homer-ific fans who predict greatness (in fairness, I have no doubt every fan base has them) and it all amounts to what? It's no different for media pundits. For some, it's very easy to gloss over the glaring flaws this team has and pretend those flaws with have a minimal effect on the team's record. With only a couple of exceptions (2007, 2008) we've been a mediocre team for more than a decade. We were a mediocre team last season. Has something changed that warrants anyone predicting we're about to take a leap forward? You have half of this board (perhaps more) screaming for us to dump the player who scored the most TDs for us last season. We have a defense that crapped the bed in games that counted. We have a head coach who calls time-outs when the other team needs them the most. We have an owner who thought it was more important to lure the best head coach available to his alma mater rather than to the Fins. Sorry, I'd love a leap forward but we have a lot to overcome.
 
I'd say the phins are the 18th best team in the league... high degree :lol: of correlation w/ draft position.

That said, I know several Cowboys fans who last yr at this time felt the same frustrations many of us do.

I'm optimistically cautious for 2015. It could be worse, Dave W could HC and Jeffy could be GM.
 
At this point im just upset on how this season played out. It seems to me we have gotten worse in terms of coaching, bills already with a stout defense will no doubt play better with rex, patriots coming off a superbowl win and looked primed for more, and jets have highly coveted bowles as HC. Meanwhile, Dolphins have their thumb up their @$$. smh...lets jsut hope for the best.
 
Maybe we are doubting the effects of consistency...or maybe MSN is high as all hell. Either way, post-season/pre-offseason rankings are generally just websites fishing for content. Depending on the offseason we are sitting in between 12-20 with a standard variation of +/- 12... hah :lol:

I'll take any optimism after another late season...deflation..
