PFT ranks us 29th

Anytime that you have question marks at both QB and HC you have a recipe for disaster. Any objectionable fan would look at Henne, Sparano(and Ireland) and have more questions than answers. Now I wouldn't go as far as to say we will be a bottom 5 team but we really do have more uncertainty than we'd like at 2 of the most important spots on any football team. What is more disheartening is how some are content with mediocrity so long as it's not being a laughing stock.

I.E. how DARE they say we will win only win 2 games, this is an 8-8 team!

Dude, Im sorry. But your a bit clueless here and living in the past. If you are not paying attention to what was and what now is, you never will. You will dissapear on a regular basis on this board. Book it!
 
How in the world can you rank a team that will field a possible top 5 defense at 29?? It's just the perception that the franchise gave in the off season that have them ranked so low. The defense is going to win this team close to 4 games on their own if everyone stays healthy.

I'll tell you the easy explanation to your question.

Because one dimensional teams on average are not successful in the NFL and the so called experts have little faith in the Offense right now. The media is not going to give Miami respect until they take it. Based on all the chatter coming from camp, it sounds like this team is ready to "take" it, now all they have to do is back it up and go get it.
 
i would like to know what harbaugh has done to warrant such praise? He was a mediocre QB and a pretty average coach even with Luck. I think he is going to do everything to tank the season to get Luck.
 
Fellas why do we care what some dime a dozen lawyer who has never played the game thinks? Just saying...Florio's "insights" are as useless as fun bags on a nun.

Yup, 29. Right below the Panthers and 5 and 6 spots below the Bills and Seahawks respectively. What a disgrace. Did we not go 7-9 last year? Interestingly, the number one team is the Packers - a team we beat, and, a team we basically beat and a team we nearly beat twice - the Steelers and Jets - are in the top 6. I really can't wait to see all these "experts" eat crow after we win week one. Then again, if we do win, I bet the story will be of how the Patriots are falling off.

You lost to us by 8 and beat us by 4, how did you nearly beat us twice? you were closer to losing to us twice and who cares whoy ou beat and almost beat? The bottom line is you have been a 7-9 team the last 2 years and you tried to hire a new coach and get a new QB which didn't work. 29 is definitely low but let's not act like you should be ranked in the top 10, I would say somewhere around 20 heading into the season is fair but the great thing is none of the rankings mean anything. All that matters is what the teams do on the field.
 
Mike Florio is a circus clown wannabe sports guy. His opinion is garbage.

We are 4-1 vs the Jets in the last 5 meetings. Why are you here??? We own the scrub Jets. Get lost.
 
Yet somehow they say the Bills could be a playoff team. Nothing they have done in years would indicate that.

Their excuses for the Dolphins being the third worst team in the league isn't even proof that they'll suck. It's an assumption based on how the predictor feels about the situation that the Dolphins were in. It makes no sense.

the good thing about power rankings is that they change and it dont matter where you are at the start of the season its near the end that matters most! lets be top 5 week 17

There is no good thing about power rankings. They don't need to exist. Period. (and I could give a **** if the Dolphins were ranked #1 for eternity)

Based on your logic, what have the 13-15 teams ahead of the Dolphins done to get the "respect from the media"?

Quotes like that are why Junc is here. You can't blame him for backing up the Jets play when an asinine comment like that gets made.

Well to be honest the Dolphins were 10 yds and a 2 pt conversion away from tying the Jets in week 3, the game I was in attendance for. It isn't like they got their ***** kicked.

Did they try to acquire Orton? Reports said an offer was never made. How you can not make an offer yet still get pegged as trying to get him is beyond me.
