Seriously, I think most of us realize that we are a year away from seriously challenging for a championship.
Stranger things have happened though, and I don't think we have yet peaked with this years potential.
It's very rare that defense wins championships on its own.Well considering that defense wins championships, I wouldn't say we have no shot. Positive vibes bro
Pointing to outliers is fine, but they are exactly that, outliers.I’ll bet people said the the same thing about NE the season they surprised everyone and beat the greatest show on turf Rams in the SB.

It's also very rare that offense wins championships on its own, as well.
If you only look at the SB in a vacuum, then yes, you can make a bit of a case that one side of the ball can be so dominant, that the opponent had no chance.
If you look at a playoff run from late regular season all the way through, most of the time it takes at least a little bit of both.
Unless you are 85 Bears, or 00 Ravens level "D", at some point you have to be able to score.
Miami will need to overcome a lack of explosive plays in the passing game. It's going to be difficult to beat multiple teams in a row when they all have much better WR's. It's possible, but Miami and Tua will be playing with much smaller margins.

I don't disagree. Our WR unit has obvious limitations.Miami will need to overcome a lack of explosive plays in the passing game.

That said, I'm of the opinion (fully realizing I'm probably in the minority) that Chan has has decades of knowledge at his disposal, and can game plan mismatches, route combos, etc to mitigate the disparity. He has probably forgotten more about offensive football, that most of us ever knew.
Unfortunately, we have another "Achilles heel". Our rushing attack is, to say the least, anemic, and that's hard to overcome with scheme.

Agree to an extent, but I don't think Miami presents many potential mismatches, so there's a clear limit.
The running game is not nearly as important - barely worth considering at this point.
