[h=2]13. MIAMI DOLPHINS[/h]The Dolphins were arguably the biggest surprise of the 2016 season, making the postseason after expectations were relatively low. With Ryan Tannehill not expected to require surgery, the Dolphins are going to reload and only get better in 2017. They have their surefire No. 1 back in Jay Ajayi now, too, which they didn’t have entering this past season.

Anything less than 12 is an insult.

ESPN is not going to be happy about this #13 ranking.

 

[kellyh3034]

ESPN has them at 21. That's really low but it is ESPN.

 

[Eesti]

They also listed Miami at #10 out of teams with the best odd to make it to the SB.

 

[Fins1971]

They have us 7th in the AFC. That is out of the playoffs

Tennessee at 11 is pretty funny. Arizona at 12 too. I'll live though despite this attempt to be dumb.

it not how you start. it how you finish....13 is not bad. we have room to work our way up chart. making the playoff next yr will not be easy. Denver, bal cin, kc, oak, ten, hou, ind and buf. will all be coming for that last 3 to 4 spot on afc playoff.

They didnt play the real Dolphins though. They played a team that wasnt settled into their identity or fully understood the playbook.

Still went 9-7 and missed the playoffs though.

12. Miami Dolphins (11-5)
Was the Dolphins’ surge due to a weak schedule? They were totally overmatched in a late-season games against the Ravens, Patriots and in a playoff loss to the Steelers. I like some things the Dolphins did last season, and think coach Adam Gase appears to be a good hire, but this will be a “prove-it” season.

The problem with the Fins is that on paper they are a prime candidate for regression. We won 8 of our 10 games by 1 score or less and had a negative point differential. I hope I'm wrong (I was last year) but I am not bullish on next year unless the roster is seriously upgraded.
