Although it is no surprise, both Stephen A. and Skip said NE will win the division hands down without question. They named off, Wilfork, Mayo, and Brady being the difference makers.

But without question? No mention of Delmas, Albert, Moreno, and others that make us better.

Typical BSPN.
 
Wilfork, Mayo, and Brady are a lot better than Delmas and Moreno. Delmas and Moreno are decent football players. Wilfork and Brady are GREAT football players.
 
Every day I see new threads dedicated to lack of media attention. What don't people get? Dolphins don't get much, neither do most other teams that finish consistently with a sub .500 record. Therefore our FA/Rookie additions are going to get a lot less attention as well.
 
Gotta do it on the field fellas. Stop getting mad at the sports people who pick the Pats to win the division. It's a pretty safe bet considering they've won...what...11 of the last 12?

We already know none of them do any research and Stephen A. and Skip have never set foot on the Dolphins practice field but they don't get paid to do that. They get paid to spew out garbage the network tells them to spew out. Anyone with half a brain can't take anything Skip Bayless says seriously. He's a clown, an entertainer who's sole purpose is to stir the pot at ESPN. That's how they get ratings. Regardless Dolphins still have to prove they can win.
 
What floors me is that people still actually watch Disney Sports... er, I mean, ESPN. Whatever, same thing.

Spot on....When they start winning more we will get more coverage... heck when we started 3-0 last year.. .the hype machine started.. then reality set in...

As truth says, they've won 11 of 12. Is it 11 of 12? It seems like even more than that.

They are going to be picked to win the division EVERY YEAR until someone else wins it in a year that their starting QB doesn't go down in week 1.
 
I can't think of a better way to start changing their minds than going out and beating the Patriots this Sunday. If we want the division, we've gotta take it.

They also started getting on board when we beat NE and looked like we were going to get that last wildcard spot. Didn't matter even though they were "on board" didn't get it. Actually like it better when expectations are low.

To correct myself...10 of the last 11. They started winning the division in 2003, 2002 was the Jets by tie-breakers when Miami, Jets and Pats all finished 9-7. Pats took it in 2001 and Miami in 2000. So I guess you could say 11 of the last 13 seasons.
 
Always amuses me how the site that intensely distrusts and outright hates the media also desperately seeks its attention and approval.

Seems like theres a slight contradiction there.

they have only not won the division one time with tom Brady at QB and that was the 2002 season you mentioned when 3 teams tied at 9-7 and the jets won on tiebreakers. an incredible run, can't wait until Brady retires.
 
Wilfork is coming off a serious injury and has always battled weight issues. I would be surprised if he's anything more than a plugged this season. He's not an elite player any longer.
