I think that's probably why they drafted that kid from UM.
If Garrard goes down I don't see that as a problem. Moore may beat him out straight up anyway.
making the playoffs? you guys are crazy. i say 6-10 and third in the division only beating the jets after them implode.
Texans, Broncos, Steelers, Ravens in the AFC as the final 4 and I'll say Texans for super bowl.
NFC is harder to predict because 3 of the 4 top teams are in the same division. The NFC east is alway such a question mark and I see the winner of that division losing the wild card came to the bears lions or even the packers. If the 49ers additions at WR and another good year from ALex smith happen then the 49ers are my favorite but a healthy cutler/forte or a motivated packer team is gonna be tough.

I'm not convinced Peyton stays healthy either

Tua time!
that too...but if he does there's not a game on that sched they will go into where they won't have a punchers chance...not one...he's that damn much of a difference maker if he plays...still that sched is BRUTAL
raiders chargers cheifs...I think they sweep or come close to sweeping that divsion. thats 5-6 right there. browns, bucs, panthers, thats 2-3 more. so say low end 6--3 from those teams. saints are in disarray, falcons are inconsistent, they're built right now to beat the pats despite the playoff game last year. You're gonna see a huge difference when the broncos can put up points with manning instead of trying to run the clock and praying (literally) on late game heroics.
To get in the play off in the AFC west your battling the division and their division sucks.

plus the WR talent they have....it all depends on manning being manning.

they better win the division...that's what i'd say looking at that sched...
and im gonna be honest, I'm just now looking at the dolphin schedule and it's sure fire soft. the only games we SHOULD lose are houston, NE and SF. so there's 4 right there and if we play 500 ball the rest of the way its 6-10. Prob a split with the bills, sweep jets, rams, cards, raiders, colts and jags should be easy wins. If we steal one game fromt he titans of bungles.... my new high end prediciton is 9-7.

you got it right it's soft...but we have very average qb play if either garrard or matt moore man the position...

I really think the Pats are going to have a really bad SB hangover. A truly dreadful one. My prediction is Brady gets hurt this year. And not just his feelings, but actually won’t play in several games because he will feel like he has to do too much. 9-7
The Jets ground and pound (Sporano/Ryan) has not been effective in the modern, pass-happy world of the NFL. Due to their lack of skill at the QB position, if they ever have to play from behind, they will not be able to catch up; especially from two score deficits. If you doubt me, watch any Dolphins footage of a trailing Sporano offense with Henne at the helm. Sanchez=Henne=garbage. They will get into too many 3[SUP]rd[/SUP] and 5+ yardage situations, putting the ball in Sanchez’ hands too often. 6-10
The Bills got much better and will probably finish with a winning record. I think Buffalo will be one of the NFL’s most improved teams this year. Maybe finish 9-7.
I love the direction the Dolphins took with Philbin. Almost all of the now dominant teams use the same system and it is working (Pats, Saints, GB, NYG). Maybe not this year, but 2 years from now, Miami will be the dominant team in the AFC east for 5+ years. 10-6
2012- Miami Offensive MVP- Garrard (y’all forget how good he was)
Runners up- Bush, Bess
Most Improved- Clay
2012- Miami Defensive MVP- Dansby
Runners up- Wake, Odrick
Most Improved- R. Jones

Wow that's higher then I thought, I would have guessed 18.5/19 but regardless good point. I also think they could avg. 24 and change with this more aggressive offense. (still having upside) that puts us in the steelers/giants range from last year point per game wise with a strong defense. love the underdog numbers with this team

Well since we're making predictions i'll go Bold:
Pats 12-4
Phins 11-5
Bills 9-7
Jets 8-8
I think we will put together what we started at the end of last year. Philbin is a field general and a team needs a coach like him. I think he ends giving Matt Moore the start and with the player friendly WCO offense, I think we start well. We have a ton of slot wr's/te's/hb's and now our offensive schemes will fit with what we have.
For the breakout players, I could go the easy route and pick Clay or Odrick, but i'll again go bold.
On defense: I say both of our safeties, Clemons and Jones have breakout years with BOTH having 7 or more key defensive plays(int's, ff, ff rec, sacks) in the backfield.
On Offense: I say (if healthy)Lamar Miller gets more than 20 rec with close to 200yds receiving and at least one special teams Td. My last pick will be Chad Johnson. I think he puts on a show for his home town crowd and gets close to 1,000 yards receiving, but i'll say under by a hundred or so.. 900'ish.
