Denver is easy answer. You never want to leave your fate in someone else’s hands. We can’t be upset with Cleveland bc we had 6 other opportunities to close the deal but Denver was the dagger.
By kickoff Buffalo was -1.5.Technically incorrect. The Dolphins closed 3.5 point favorites at Buffalo last week.
That game bounced around. Buffalo was -1.5 before Fitzpatrick tested positive. The line shot up to Bills -3. It sat there for a couple of days then the money avalanched on Miami and the game was consensus -3.5 on Sunday.
I understand if that wasn't rationalized by Dolphin fans. It doesn't seem like the Dolphins could be favored in that game. Those final weeks are so screwy so you get some bizarre numbers, like the Chargers favored by a touchdown at Kansas City.
I generally leave that final week alone other than if they fit one of my best systems
I respectfully disagree with you. They drafted exactly how they should have. You don’t build a football team from the outside in. You build it from the inside out. They knew how bad our OL/DL were and they were horrendous in Flo’s first year. It HAD to be fixed right away and Th at is why the focus was the trenches in the last off-season. If you win in the trenches more times than not you’re going to win the game. It’s much easier to integrate 2/3 new skill guys into an offense than it is to integrate 3/4 new OL. But now those 3 rookie OL have played an entire 16. Our OL should be a true strength next year for the first time since I can remember. Same thing with the DL. We addressed it by bringing in Lawson/Ogbah and what happened? Our sacks and pressures go way up and our defense got much better and was able to keep us in basically 15/16 games this year. That’s how you build a team. It was absolutely the right decision.I think the first Buffalo game, when Preston Williams dropped a 4th down TD and right after that Van Noy dropped a pick 6. Right there I know that would come back to hunt us. Closely followed by the Denver game. BTW, drafting a QB followed by drafting OL without drafting one single WR or RB is simply stupid.
Incorrect. The Dolphins closed -3.5By kickoff Buffalo was -1.5.
it was the same way at Top Bet. Dolphins favored at kickoff of Bills game. I thought about doubling my money line bet on Bills with the great odds. Should have pulled the trigger.Incorrect. The Dolphins closed -3.5

Except for Steelers may be, we will get bounce out in first week if we get in. I am not interested in it.Neither are like 3-4 other teams but we would have competed our dicks off regardless.
