What is the BEST we can do?

[Justasportsfan]

Don't you think Saban would have kept him if he was better than Feeley or Gus???

He didn't keep Fiedler so the answer is , NO!

 

[Justasportsfan]

Never know we could be 12 - 4 from 4 - 12 in previous season. Look at 1999 Rams they finished win Super Bowl from 4 - 12 in 1998.

you are not the rams. You don't have the line-up that Rams had.

I say 12-4

Just curious you think we will split wins with the AFC East. I think we can beat Buffalo twice and maybe Jets sweep. I am putting our record at 13-3 I like our schedule

 

[Bellson]

12-4 is prob the best estimate of the best regular season we could have. only thing i'd say different is that one of the NFC teams we play wins out in a close game excluding the Bucs who I think we'll tear up.

I've heard of sleepwalking, but this the first time I've seen sleepposting.

 

[Dol-Fan Dupree]

you can't do better than undefeated and superbowl victory

 

[PHAZINPHINZPHAN]

Just stop please, once again you lose an argument. Someday you'll be able to ahng w/ me but as of now you are a few notches below. Saban's first NFL job was in '88 or '89 w/ Houston and then he was DC for 4 years in Cle. Carroll's first NFL job was in 1984 then beginning in 1990 he spent 4 years as Jets DC.

Everyone remembers SD's missed FG but what about Brien missing a 33 yarder in the 1st half? or what about when we had the game won only to see a dumb penalty in the last seconds to allow SD to tie? If one of those 2 things happen then SD doesn't even get to OT.



I don't act like we have an amzing team, I think we have a good one. I think we have a team that can make a deep playoff run but I don't say anything is assured.



You got me. I come here for discussion w/ opposing fans, sometimes I see the optimism a bit too high and I comment on it. I saw it last year too, even after all the problems a good portion of the folks were predicting playoffs. I'm giving an honest assessment, is there somethig wrong w/ that? I'm not putting down Miami b/c I don't like them and I'm not saying the Jets are going to the SB. I think I have been very fair w/ Miami saying they will be a playof contender next year.



It sounds good buy trust me it doesn't mean anything. A loss is a loss and alot of those lsoses teams played conservative b/c they knew the only way they would lose would be if they had bad TOs.



My QB at half strength is better than your 2 QBs at full strength and he's going to be ready for the season. My 32 yr old RB led the league in rushing last year while your supersta was doing drugs around the World. Our draft was a good onbe, b/c we didn't have the #2 overall pick does not mean we did not have a good draft, time will tell. It's hard to tell who had a good draft until they prove it on the field but I think both of our teams did well.

Not to get on the Jets because I think they do have talent their. But I think you should worry about the shape that pennington is gonna be in and Martin might not be as productive this year. And both Pennington and Martin are (underated) but age and injury are upon them both. Good luck to your squad because they are in the hardest division in football. And the DOLPHINS look forward to SWEEPING you in the regular season (friendly trash talk) PHINZ PHANZ

i think your right, thats about the best we'll do, its very possible i think, the chargers and the flacons were both like 4-12 or soemthign before last season and ended up doing very good, i think they both went 12-4 but im not sure about that, anyways its very possible for us to do and i dont think we'll do any worse then 7-9 or 8-8

 

[DoctorFeelgood]

As a BACKUP and he's better than your 2 QBs.

<snicker> Yeah, right. Jay Fielder is a scrub and doesn't belong anywhere near the NFL. Gus or AJ is easily better than Jay.

 

[R_t_Kraken]

I'd be willing to bet the Dolphins finish ahead of the Jets this year. :yes:

 

[vt_dolfan]

12-4 is downright laugahble, even if things break perfect for yuo and the other 3 AFC East teams are ravagewd w/ injuries you will not win 12 games.

The ceiling I would say is 8 maybe 9 games. Looking at your sched:

Denver is a bit overrated but will still be tough for you, you aren't winning in Week 2, Carolina is very difficult, at Buf is a loss, at TB will be a good game, KC will be very tough, at NO will be tough, Atl will be very tough, you will no beat NE, at Cle is winnable, at oak will be difficult, Buf at home will be difficult, at SD is difficult, The Jets at home will be very difficult, and NE again will be a loss. Best case is probably 8, you'll probably be in the 5-8 range. This is how I see it now:

SEPT. 11 DENVER BRONCOS 1:00 P.M. CBS W(1-0)

I had no idea what to expext of your sched, that is tough. You will be lucky to win 7 games, I think ou'll get better as the season goes on and probably win 6 games and gain some momentum for the offseason and be legit playoff contendeers in 2006.

Hmm..just wondering. You have us losing both games to NE. Now..we sucked even worse last year..and split with them..so how do you figure we dont split again. You have the Jets beating us twice....not that that is a shocker...seeing who this is coming from..but I see us splitting with you also. I think Carolina will be a very good measuring stick early on. If we beat them...I d say a wildcard could be in the works.

 

[nyjunc]

SABAN has more coaching experience when taking this job with the fins than Carrol had when he took the job with the Jets. PERIOD.

I like you sec 126 but do you have mental problems? Carroll had TEN years of NFL coaching experience including 4 as a DC before he was hired as an NFL HC, Saban had SIX years of NFL coaching experience and 4 as a DC. carroll was IN the NFL when he became a HC, Saban has been out since 1994.

Is 10 more than 6? :confused:

Coaching DB's and being a DC for a retched Jets team does not come close to coaching Big time college football...it doesn't...IT JUST DOESN'T.

it's confirmed, you are a moron.
Mod note:You KNOW you can't do that....24 hours off.

I'd be willing to bet the Dolphins finish ahead of the Jets this year.

What would you be willing to bet?

last year was a fluky game vs. NE, they looked past you but they will be out for blood from you this year. Remember when you were a good team they swept you in 2003. As for the Jets, we own you guys since 1998. Since '98 we are 11-3 against you, I think you CAN beat us once but I wouldn't bet on it.

.

Carrol had never BEEN A HEAD COACH before he took the Jets job.

Saban had been the HC for a National Championship team when he took the phins job.

So yes...you are wrong....6 years with HC experience is better than 10 years carrying the water bucket.

Are you sure that you aren't the one with the mental problems?

As for calling me a moron....I reported your post.

Only when losing an arguement do people turn to insults. Grow up.

The argument was about NFL EXPERIENCE not about college HC experience. Once again you lose and have to resort to nonsense. When it was the Heat argument you tried to login to my account and lock me out and now you report my post. That's what you have to do to try to keep up w/ me :shakeno:
