OVERALL ANALYSIS At some point, folks are going to admit that the Miami Dolphins were overrated to begin 2006. They'll concede that their six-game winning streak to end 2005 was built on the back of mostly poor opponents, that Culpepper has not regained his previous Pro Bowl form, and that the offensive line and secondary were not properly upgraded in the offseason. When this admission arrives will depend on how long the Dolphins stick around in the AFC East race, and that ability to endure will be predicated on the team's knack for beating bottom- flight teams like the Texans. We predict that NFL observers will give up the ghost in regard to the Dolphins on Sunday afternoon. The Texans aren't a good football team, but they surely realize that Week 4, which precedes an open date and games against the Cowboys and Jaguars, represents their best chance at a win for a while. Look for Houston to force Culpepper into a couple of mistakes, take advantage of some short fields, and give Kubiak win number one of his NFL head coaching career.

Look for the dolphins O to finally click against the leagues worst D. Dolphins win 24-10
 
theres not a lot of love for the fins anywhere. i like that. Media people jump on and off bandwagons worse than anyone.

we will win this game and be at 2-2. we all know we have skilled players. its only a matter of time.

as long as we get the win i'm happy. I could care less which non dolphans support our team.

their reasoning has so much merit too saying a hurting team like the texans will be hungry for a win because they won't get many this season. ya thats a homer statement if i've ever heard one.

I mean i undersstand there's not a lot of faith because no we haven't lived up to any hype , we've played terrible through three games with our punter and wes superman welker being our only bright spots. So yes i can understand people taking the lowely texans over us. But fact is we have too much talent to lose to the texans.
 
I love it when they choose the dolphins to be the losers because that seems to be when we do the best or play the hardest.

Miami wins 24-17
(texans get 17 points only because I expect numerous deep passes)

Dont just mean this year, I mean ever. We dont suck, some of our players are just playing horribly and dragging the rest of the team down with them.
 
they do make good points.

But i see the texans game looking very similar to the titans game with a similar outcome.

the win will give the fin fans some hope and dreams of winning the AFC East and a playoff spot, but in the back of thier minds they will know it was the texans they just beat and they should enjoy the win while they can.

Sorta like the Bills should feel about beating us this year :lol:
 
I think those points are valid as well. However, I do think we can improve over the course of the season. But, this article is solid in its analysis and it could turn out that we end up something like 7-9.

However, I would not put it all on the OL and secondary. I think there needed to be a better upgrade at the OLB spot. It is amazing what a devastating front 7 on defense can do to make a secondary look very good. New England did this a couple of years ago when they had so many CB's go down they were using Troy Brown as a nickel back. But, they had a great front 7.

I hopefully predicted a 19-17 game for the Dolphins. But, for me, it's a tossup.

i have doubts in Mares Ability to hit 4 FGs anymore. Unless you think we gonna get a safety, which imo is more likely to happen.
