is Christmas Eve, week 16, when they have a rematch against the Bills. The combined record of their next seven opponents is 17-31-1.

Now, penciling in teams at .500 or worse when you yourself are below .500 is stupid, but if there was ever an opportunity to capitalize on a relatively weak schedule, this is it.
 
Yep get back to 4-4 if we can beat the Jets, its a brand new season. Don't forget everyone on here has said we have to give Miami 8 weeks in this new offense before we can judge them. Well we are nearly there and the last 2 games we scored 30 and 28 points while gaining over 400 yards both weeks. Hopefully more of things to come
 
Just took a look at the schedule and yeah Chargers and Ravens are the most concerning, but we have an extremely soft schedule and could easily get to 9 wins by the time we get to the Bills.

That being said, every time these opportunities arrive, we tend to play down to our competition and blow it. Will it be different under Gase? Will our OL continue to stay healthy and dominate? Can RT handle managing the game and limit turnovers?

You can't predict injuries but with Albert I'd expect an injury. You need to think about what to do right now before it happens. I'm guessing Urbik at LG and Tunsil at LT. Gotta stay ahead of the game
 
It's unbelievable that two weeks ago, after the Bengals game, I thought this franchise was the worst in the NFL. And now look at the hope a couple of wins and a complete turnaround brings.
I am very looking forward to seeing how things unfold for the next couple of months. I think these new coaches needed some time to figure guys out, plus having the o-line healthy is huge, and Ajayi... I'm waiting to see how things go with him now that he's run wild. Teams will focus on shutting him down and the pressure will fall back on Tannehill. How that plays out will be telling, but if teams sell out to shut down Ajayi that could leave a lot of things open. But what do i know. I'm dying to see.

That would be my guess.

Rex shifted right (offensive left), and Coach Gase went right. He put 7 on the line on the stills TD, and Ajayi made the block. We are not as inept as we use to be along the offensive line, so it is not easy to take away the running game. I am not sure the Jets can afford to load the box, but I hope they do!

Yes sir...but...take it one game at a time.

Next up....take the Jets down.
 
One game at a time but it's nice to have some meaningful games now!
 
Beat the Jets and then we can talk. Lose that game and it gets real dicey. Yesterday was a must-win. Nov.6 vs. the Jets, Miami has no excuses not to win that game after their bye.
