finz winz..............
god, who knows at this point. havn't seen anything of the team other that scrimmage thing in tennessee. can't take much from that.
this team could be very special. like in a 14-2 kind of way. when you think we have 11-5 the last 2 years with one of the stinkiest offenses ever, and a hot and cold defense, injuries galore, bum assistant o-coordinators, etc..... and now we have maybe the best o-coach in the game, more playmakers like chambers, ricky, mcmichael looks to be real, more legitimate pass rushers on defense, and what i feel IS an upgrade at dt with larry chester, 13-3 or 14-2 isn't out of the question. but................
i have been watching this team since the kansas city christmas 1971 game. i have seena lot from the finz both very good and very bad.
the last 10 years, sometimes i think we are cursed.
and 31 years of preseasons has taught me, you just can not gauge a hole lot on what you see, good or bad.
remember brian manning? nuff said.
we also come out like gangbusters EVERY year, and well, you know the rest.
the team looks like a championship team on paper. we havn't had this quality of coaching and playmakers in years. and i will say that if we don't sustain a lot of injuries to key players and the players can grasp norv's offense, and the defense can play at a true top 10 level on a consistant basis.................
anything less than a 12-4 seasom will be a big dissapointment, considering all the [upgrades] we have added.
1 game makes a huge difference, think over the last 2 years if we would have squeeked out one more win, more home field play off games, maybe homefield through out, makes a big difference.
so with everything this team has added, we should win MORE games, not less.
12-4 is my prediction.
but i just can't believe untill game 13 or 14. 31 years of miami dolphins has made me very scepticle.
