Taking a look at the schedule

I dont know who will win vs. NE in first game.

I am not afraid of the Jets. The Jets just cut Cotchery. Jets are in cap hell people. They are downgraded IMO.

Houston is an enigma. Got get off the snide here if we do anything worthwhile. Been hearing their D is still suspect but they seem to put together a W vs. us regardless and its always at the end. This time, its Sept. in Miami and the D will be jacked. Short week though. No travel however. I see eeking out a W.

My sched goes like this:
NE L
Houston W
Cleveland W
SD L
BYE BYE
Jets W
Denver W R U kiddin?
NY Giants L
KC L toughest place to play in NFL. KC is a good team throughout. Not great, but tough.
Washington W John Beck for supper?
Buffalo W They just cannot exist in the new NFL environment
Dallas W JT, Wake, and Misi having a Romo party
Oakland W
Philly L Ronni Brown homecoming
Buffalo W Bills suck, but this is their superbowl.....once again. We will eek this one out as well. Carpenter in last second.
NE L
NY Jets W

10-6 Once again, history repeats. We get into playoffs by beating the Jets in season ender. Fat man sulks and suddenly realizes you cannot build a team through FA and a few picks every year.

Damn right they will b/c I'll be at that game. I was also at the 2003 games when Houston won 22-21 so FML then but not now.

We are 0-5 against them by a total of like 14 combined points, it's ridiculous. I can't wait til we finally get over on this team!
 
Rather easier than last year, no green bay no pittsburgh no baltimore

New England W
Houston L
Cleveland W

Bye- ill be happy if we're 2-2 at this point

This is roughly how i can see the season playing out, i made us split the series with NE and NYJ, gave us a few losses to houston san diego dallas and philly, those games can roughly interchange but i see us around 6 losses

what do you guys think?

Edit: woops forgot to put in the NYG game, just put it in

i am a huge homer and hate predicting the fins to lose any games before they happen, and even the games i will predict they will lose to just not be a homer now, i will deff be here saying the week of the game we will win, lol. anyways---

week 1 New England-win. as good as i think the pats are, i think opening up at what should be a packed out at sun life stadium to open up the season, i feel our team will come out fired up, and our offense will show life, and our defense will feed off the crowd and have a stout performance. The best time to get the pats is prob week 1 because they are not in full sync yet. we get a big opening win.

week 2 Houston- win. If not now, then when. Despite houston adding some guys to that atrocious defense from last year, that will not make their defense all the sudden become good again just like that. Andre johnson will cause trouble for us as he does with every team he plays for the most part, but its a game where being at home, we our defense should be able to limit them, and our offense should be able to generate enough points against that poor texans defense. 2-0.

week 3 at Cleveland- Win. This is a game where i think we will win, but it will be a very low scoring game. although i do not think cleveland is that good, that cleveland crowd is a good one, and the browns play tough at home off it, especially at the beggining of the season. look for a slow day from our offense after back to back wins at home, but we are not exactly going up vs the 2001 rams offense. i think we pull it out late with our defense making some big plays, in an ugly 13-10 game. 3-0.

week 4 at San Diego Loss. Coming off 3 big wins, going cross country, off week following, all signs of a letdown game. As good as i think our defense will be, the chargers are stacked all across the board, with tons of receiving options, and a running game which i expect to become better this year with ryan matthews improving on last years poor rookie season. our offense may score some points, but in the end, i think the chargers prevail and we take our first loss into the bye week.

week 6 at Jets- win. fresh off a bye week, our most hated rivals, i feel we come out firing on all cylinders and win a thriller at the meadowlands late. one would expect our defense should be able to handle the jets and sanchez, but when it comes to jets dolphins, as well all know, strange things happen, so i fully expect this game to be a high scoring game between 2 of the better defenses in the league. in the end, we pull it off late. 4-1

week 7 Denver- Win. Although in the nfl anything is possible, this game should be one of our easier games on the schedule. at home, vs a denver team which is prob on its way towards a top 3 pick in the 2012 nfl draft, if we want to be a playoff team, this is a game where their are no excuses whatsoever. we must win this game. 5-1.

week 8- at Giants- win. The New york Giants are a team in which for 2 or 3 weeks straight can seem like they are destined for the superbowl, and then other weeks they will look like a team which is vying for a top 5 draft pick. The giants defense, aside from the d line is not real good, as a matter of fact is pretty poor, their receving corps is depleted with steve smith out for a while and who knows when hes coming back, they lost one of their better red zone threats, and receiving in general in kevin boss, they lost some key members of their o line, etc. Their offense is still solid for sure, but i am not real sold on that defense at all, and i think this is a game in which reggie bush can be big for us in the passing game vs those giants linebackers. As with any road game, or any game for that matter in the nfl it will be tough, but i think we get it done. 6-1.

week 9- At Kansas city- loss. Playing in arrowhead is never easy, and it seems that the chiefs are back now. coming off a strong season, adding some nice pieces, i feel the chiefs will be in the hunt all year long for the most part, and this game will be a tough one for us. its far from impossible to win, but i think this is a game we may drop. cant win them all unfortunately ( unless your the 72 fins of course). 6-2

week 10 vs Washington- If we lose at home to John ****ing Beck, that would be really embarrassing. The redskins are going to be hideous this season, and their is zero reason as to why this game should be even remotely close. we win in a blowout. 7-2

week 11- vs buffalo- Win. The bills give us trouble all the time, and i expect the same thing here. However, this time, i believe we should be able to beat the bills at home. The game will be close as are all fins bills games of late, but in the end, i feel our defense will be way to much for the bills offense. 8-2.

week 12- at Dallas- win . The dallas cowboys imo have not really improved from their terrible season of last year. They deff have some very talented players such as Tony romo, dez bryant, miles austin, jason witten, demarcus ware, etc. However, i feel their defense is very vulnerable, and despite them having some nice playmakers on offense, i feel our d line should be able to put pressure on Romo all day long. Us fin fans prob shouldnt expect an offensive outburst like 03 thanksgiving, but i will expect the same result which is a win. 9-2.

week 13 Vs Oakland- Loss. i understand we are a lot more talented than the raiders, but this is a game i feel will be just one of those games where we struggle from the get go, and we lose in a low scoring game. hopefully it will be just one random loss, and not the start of a December swoon. 9-3

week 14- vs Philadelphia- Loss. Before the off season begun, the eagles were still one of the better teams in the nfc, and the nfl in general. after the offseason, they seem to have added many weapons to that team, and in the end, i think they will be way to much for our team. i hope i am wrong, but they seem right now to be stacked on offense and defense. we lose 2 in a row and December swoon starts to enter our minds. 9-4

week 15- at Buffalo- win. Playing in buffalo is never easy for Miami, especially in late December where it is almost guaranteed to be 25 degrees with some degree of snow, possibly blizzard conditions. However, coming off 2 loses at home, starting to fade a bit, our team will be in a must win situation. That, and despite how the bills will want to ruin our playoff hopes as best as they can, i feel our defense, just like in Miami vs them, will be to much for their offense to handle, especially in likely bad weather conditions. Miami gets a much needed win and goes to 10-4.

week 16- At New England- loss. We never sweep the patriots, and them being at home in what should be a chilly foxboro day, i think they get revenge on us from week 1 and get a pivotal win for themselves. We will have our chances like always, but i think Brady and co are going to be too much to handle in the end. 10-5.

week 17. Vs Jets- win. Last game of the season, it will be a do or die game for us, just like week 17 of 08. win or go home. In the final game of a season in which will surprise many of our own fans even, i believe this team finishes the job vs our hated rivals the jets. We will repeat just like in 08 and knock the stinkin jets out of the playoffs, and punch our own ticket into it. All of us fin fans will then be so proud of this team and be celebrating on this great site at nights end.

So their you have it. i a bit of a homer obviously, but i tried to be as fair as possible. The games i pinned as losses, i will almost certainly be on this site the week of the game saying why we will win that very game, lol.
 
There's nothing like the optimism of training camp.
 
The Chiefs lost Charlie Weiss! You guys dont understand how valuable he is! Matt Cassel is not that great a quarterback without a stud coordinator leading the way!
 
There's nothing like the optimism of training camp.

When you have a top 5 defense, you could only be hopeful that your offense is average enough to win you games, you dont need a stud offense to win games with the defense we have
 
finfan54, the Jets are in cap hell? I didn't know that being $9M under the cap qualified as "cap hell."
 
get confidence early and play like an NFC East team and clobber someone early.
 
New England - Win. Dolphins make a strong statement on monday night mother****ing football, that we're a team to look out for.
Houston Win.- Dolphins blow out the Texans, which is long overdue.
Cleveland - Win. Peyton Hillis gets knocked around a little, Colt McCoy is overrated and will throw 3 picks.
San Diego - Loss. Chargers are a good team, but we'll play em tough, lose by 8.
NYJ- Win. I really believe we have to sweep the Jests to make the playoffs.
Denver - Win. Denver sucks.
NYG - Loss. G-men have a hayday on whoever is starting at QB for us.
Kansas City- Loss. Ouch, two in a row. Tough place to play, but that's how it goes.
Washington - Win. John Beck sucks.
Buffalo - Win. Buffalo sucks.
@Dallas - Win. I hate Dallas, and we won't lose this game on this day.
Oakland - Win. OT game, DC Money kicks a game winner.
Philadelphia- Win. Upset - there's always one.
@Buffalo - Loss. They'll find a way to split with us.
@New England - Loss. New England gets revenge and clinches the AFC East by kicking our ***. Despite losing two AFC East games in a row, we still control our own destiny.
NYJ- Win. And we're in.

Keep in mind this is a very homeristic prediction. I wouldn't be surprised if we finish 9-7 and miss the playoffs.

But hopefully my prediction comes true and we go 11-5. Beat the Ravens, Steelers, Colts, and Iggles and win the Superbowl :lol:
 
Best scenario: 9-7
Worst scenario: 3-13

Sorry, but that's it. Oh, and in the worst scenario....making it even worse, the coach and GM get fired and then we hire a coach who wants to run a 4-3 defense, thus causing us to start unloading our 3-4 personnel and build over from scratch.

But what do I know, I'm in a pessimistic mood these days.
