Yes, we're making progress and playing meaningful games the second half of the season. A lot to be excited about...

But don't be surprised if at some point we play a stinker...developing teams often do that. The key will be how they recover the following week...it's actually an important part of the the building process. I just don't want people throwing up their arms and saying, "I knew it was all a mirage" or "they showed their true colors today".

We have to be patient.

This.

It's a long season and any football fan should understand we're not going to run the table. Compete hard for 60 minutes every game and good things will come.

Every honest fan knows most teams, no matter how good, will lose a game before end of season. That's the NFL. I agree it's likely, but I want to see 7-0.
 
This is just my opinion but we may see more than one. The home game against Arizona has that potential especially if Miami hasn't lost until that game. I also feel one of the road division games against the Bills or Jets could be a stinker too.

Arizona's record doesn't reflect how good that team is but if Miami hasn't lost by then I would expect a packed Hard Rock Stadium and with the canopy the stadium has turned into a huge home field advantage...it's much louder than it used to be...4-1 at home. Add a winning team and the advantage of playing at home increases exponentially. I'm hoping it happens cause I'd like to see just how it effects visiting teams.
 
Of course, this team like any team may have a stinker of a game. I am hopeful that will not happen because the players really want to play for Coach Gase and more importantly play for each other. That attitude and hard work are the best preventive for stinkers!
 
it's very tough to win on the road in this league

very tough

you have to overcome the officiating too usually

That's the thing, when you have a quality HC, that does not happen much, for a while now we have had some uninspiring HC, but of Adam Gase is a quality HC, we may actually be shocked this year.

Miami in the beginning was not playing well, but learning a new Offense, players coming back, or dealing with injuries, trying to find a new identity, and the coaches getting settled in new positions left Miami in the beginning with a slow start, but if the coaches can do a good job of keeping the players at even keel (So far the players don't look over confident, nor uninspired), Miami is hot, Miami is confident, and Miami has proven there is no quit in them.
 
Miami is certainly going to lose at least another game. This site will lose it's **** no matter what. I don't think I've ever seen this site remain positive after a loss.
 
We lose @ Balitmore and @ Buffalo. That's it. Bam! I'm continuing my Monday win high!!
 
Yes, we will probably play a stinker or two. That is the reality, everyone has and does, except the Pats (F**K the Pats). Everyone will probably write them off when/if that happens. This Sundays game is a tougher gamer than it looks on paper, if we can some how find a way to win in Los Angeles, could set up for a very interesting final 6 games, the first being the 49ers, a very winnable game, leaving 5 games to surprise.
