Surprised how generally unconcerned most of them (beyond the 4 or 5 who are actually realistic like coltsfan) are about the phins.
They dismiss Ricky Williams (say he will only get 75-80 yards) and aren't scared about Chambers (cause he didn't do much against Detroit. Gee maybe because we were running it down their throats and passing to our FB's and TE's all day? Guess that is to be ignored to). They dismiss our huge offensive upgrades yet turn around and talk about how improved their defense is. Improved compared to what? This defense improves 10 spots and it still wouldn't be in the top half of defenses in the league.
They also go on about how Ismail will be the difference for them. Hate to tell you colts fans but if your relying on a guy we casted off to be the difference for your offense which has been held to 20 or less so many times by us is wishful dreaming. Sure you have a #2 reliable reciever now. You don't think that gets Surtain covering him? (and no I don't see Surtain playing the slot unless Marvin or Ismail go in there and Madison simply covers the one who doesn't)
You thought Manning had it rough with Bromell last year. Say hello to O-Gun Manning. You'll be seeing him all around you.
To simply put it Colts fans.......think about how much your defense improved then turn around and multiply that by 3 to find out how much the phins offense has improved. Colts O and Dolphins D are pretty much the same as it's always been. So that's offset. So when you look at how much better this phins O is compared to how much better the Colts D is (and the fact we were already beating the Colts most of the time anyways) and it's a clear phins win unless the phins start shooting themselves in the foot.
Sure you may have Tony Dungy helping to cover the weaknesses of your D with his Cover 2 schemes but that is easily offset with Turner's versatility.
27-17 phins.
