My claim. I am more optimistic about the prospects of MY Miami Dolphins this year than I have been at ANY time since Don Shula coached this team.

THIS is a playoff team.

Our Tackles have looked good. Tua has looked great. We have a fleet of RBs who catch the ball... and the offense is why we didn't win 10-12 games last year.

Problem solved.

Oh, the defense?

We added Ingram, lost no one, and Phillips and that potential pro bowl safety that you've read about... they are in year two.

Yes, I'm all in.
 
My claim is that this roster should not only make the playoffs but win their first round matchup..

I predict Tua will throw 29 TD to 14 INT. He'll have a decent season and many will still be debating if it's him or the system. Regardless, the play is good enough for prediction #1.
 
If the AFC wasn't so damn difficult this year I'd absolutely bet on them being a playoff team. I'm worried that this is one of those years where a 10/11 win team won't make the playoffs. Meanwhile in the NFC some garbage team gets in at 7-10

That seems to always be the case. There's always some crappy NFCE team in the playoffs.

I agree on the roster being not only a Playoff team, but a team that can win a playoff game. However, if that ends up being Tua’s TD to interception ratio, then I would say that is a disappointing season for him, and he probably held this team back.

Oh… and 100% all in this season!!! This team and Tua will show everyone they are legit, and can be a threat in the playoffs.

All in with you.

But...........that Tua guy.
 
Any team, any place, any time, I’ll even spot you 3 points. Talking to you Buffalo.

I am a notorious preseason homer. All my friends and family ignore my Dolphin hype every year because I’m a broken record of optimism.

This year I’ve kept my mouth shut (for the most part).

This is different. I want to take this roster against the best of the best. And I want to spot them a few points just to rub it in.

Ive been to 6 Dolphins games in my life, the Dolphins have won all 6 of those games, 100% truth. I plan on going to my first Dolphins playoff game this year. And 2nd, 3rd, 4th, lol sorry I Lebroned a bit there.
 
I’m optimistic because it seems like the coaches have a clue about how to put together a good offense. I love the trade for Hill because he is like a cheat code that can get you an easy touchdown anytime he touches the ball. You need that in todays league. Hopefully Waddle becomes something similar with Hill opposite of him instead of Mack Hollins or whoever they signed off the street.
 
Except for the tank year, I've been optimistic every year. However, while my optimism was at a 10, thinking SB, since '83, my optimism and expectations have lowered slowly, but surely, since Marino retired.

This year, it's up a little, due to the new coaching staff mainly. The roster, on paper, is improved, but I'm not getting excited yet. I just don't get excited about TC plays, just like I don't get in the dumps from TC plays.

Right now, I'm thinking playoffs, and then we'll see what happens. I'm hoping that by the bye, I'll be thinking SB again.

I certainly feel the same. This looks to be the most diverse team in terms of what they can do on offense and defense since the glory days of the 70's! Anything short of at least 1 playoff win will be a major disappointment to me.
