The Dolphins Make Me Cry.com - Forums

I kind of find it funny that Omar gives us 5 wins when everyone else is picking less. He's usually the naysayer.
Omar Kelly, Dolphins Columnist: 5-11

The Dolphins purged their roster this offseason to become a younger team with a cheaper payroll, and that typically accompanies a losing season. Don’t expect much from this team in Year 1 of coach Brian Flores’ reign.


With that said .... I say we win 3 games this year but with our luck it will probably be mediocre 8-8.

I had said 6 earlier, but that was before they got rid of Tunsil, Alonso and Stills. I'll change my prediction to 5, but it's soft 5 now. Maybe more realistic to say 4.

I am going with the one you mentioned the other day....”Miami you are on the clock”

I'm putting myself down for 3-13. It will be a long year without a semblance of a professional offensive line. The team will set a record for sacks allowed, the running backs will have nowhere to run without blocking, and a decent defense will run out of steam following all the three and outs. The team punter will have a sore leg from overuse.

It will be a long year. Hoping they know what to do with all those draft picks, and maybe a few of the kids, like Dieter, Wilkins, and Preston Williams, will develop into good pros.

4-12

With the lack of talent on the roster I can't see us doing better than 4-12 this year....

If we get off to a really bad start, we could easily spiral to as bad as 1-15 - If that's the case I would rather us go 0-16, I would win money on a bet I placed this week that a team would go winless in 2020 (most likely us).

Ps. If we do go winless, would Flores survive?

Unfortunately, I have us going 3-13 due to Fitzpatrick having one of his patented 450 yard games that steals a win in a shootout. Rosen gets the other two against our worst opponents.

I would prefer 1-15 but we have a good secondary and a lot of players auditioning for next season so we will win a small handful. I just hope that's enough to get the #1 pick.

4, maybe 5 wins.

According to ESPN after 20,000 simulations. We're going 8-8 and lose the division to the Patriots in Week 17. And also the Saints win the Superbowl. Hopefully neither of these terrible predictions come true.

There is a better argument for 0-16 than there is for 8-8. I don't think we are more talented than any team in the NFL except maybe the Cardinals and their rookie QB. I just assume 3 wins because it's the NFL and things happen.

4-12

I am surprized Jones is still on the list, and still expect him to be traded or cut before seasons end. Take him out of that secondary and it becomes a lot more shaky.

Brady for one will have a field day, as Jones & Howard are the only guys in that bunch he is wary of.

If we go 8-8 they should rename the coach of the year award to the Brian Flores award

Inaccurate. ESPN's 20,000 simulations have the Dolphins with 5 wins.

The 8 wins is from ONE simulation run that they arbitrarily picked to show scores of every game.

I have absolutely no clue.  Seasons when I thought Miami was devoid of talent and should have won a one or two games they pulled off close to .500 seasons.  Seasons where I thought they had the talent to compete for a wildcard they couldn't get anything going at all.

This actually speaks as much to the rest of the NFL as it does Miami.  Just when you think "damn, my team is the worst...no one can touch us in this area."  Another city comes along and says "hold my beer."

Based on how bad a lot of the rest of the league is, and how whacked out some game days can be, I can see Miami being anywhere from 1-15 to 10-6.  
;)

Correct.  And me thinks they specifically picked one outside the norm to create controversy  and clicks.

Good catch. I just skimmed the first part and totally missed that part.

4-12.

Their defense is good enough to keep them in some games.  I'd say 5-11, but they let John Denney go.  :D

I don't care what anyone says. That was a super shitty move on the Dolphins part.

More cap space.   I'm sure the vet minimum for a third year player is way less than for a 15 year player.

While the vet min for a 15 year vet is less than a 3rd year player there is a quirky rule that allows you to sign players with 4+ years at vet min and only a portion counts towards the salary cap.  This move saves Ross cash, but not salary cap space. 

I have to admit, I thought they were going to re-sign him, after a roster move of another player and then bring him back.  Was a very bad move on their part, disappointed the way that was handled.

I'm going 6-10, partly because I have a milkshake bet with my boy after Vegas came out with the Win Total of 5 earlier in the Spring.

I think they're gonna escape with a couple lucky wins, lose some heartbreakers where they played well. 

Like to think this team will be better prepared for most games & execute better than we've what we've come to expect.  I'm not saying leaps and bounds, but you'll see less of the previous dumb mistakes/penalties

I will set the stadium on fire if we go 6-10 and Rosen does not play like a Top 10 QB.

If fact, since they are going to suck so bad this year. I hope the new long snapper is a thorn in their side every game. Bad snaps, blocked kicks, fumbles, and turn overs all year long >:D

It probably does not bode well for the team this year in that yesterday (4 days before the opening game) when Flores was asked by a reporter if the Fins have settled on who their starting offensive line will be, responded with, "For the most part, yes."    If you aren't entirely sure who your starting offensive line is going to be when you are four days out from your first game, that is a pretty good indication that this season is going to be a dumpster fire size of such enormity that the flames will be visible from Europe. 

Visible from the space station.

I welcome any type of fire that gets us that #1 pick.

Given the curvature of the earth, fire in Florida would need to be significantly larger to be seen in Europe than the space station.  Just sayin.

^^^ ::) Earth's flat. Just sayin

Existence of space station disproves that.

Space station doesn't exist.  It sits on a movie production sound stage in California and all the video from it is CGI. 

I didn't mean to start something silly here with the flat earth comment. Disregard. Let's stay on subject. Lol. Sorry everyone.

Don't let those Globetards bully you!

So was my last girlfriend's chest. Just sayin, haha

Capricorn one.....

I'm revising my estimate to 2-14.

Flores is a professional troll.  If MIA wins a single game, they should break out the champagne.

The only real doubt I have about how terrible this team will be is that I am skeptical that Flores can even be successful at securing the #1 pick.

Short term vs long term? What's your opinion of the direction of the team?


As for me. I'm gonna get drunk and play Madden 03 on PS2. Ravens @ Miami, we'll see who wins, hahaha. I got Fiedler

Flores is hitting basically every wrong note so far, echoing the worst of Josh McDaniels and Eric Mangini.

Now, maybe Flores is a savant at scheme adjustments, and secretly can coach Belichick under the table.  At this point he basically needs to, because he is painting himself into a corner.

Well I got drunk and played Madden 2003 on PS2. Gonna do the grudge match.

Ravens - 10

Dolphins - 22

1-15 best case scenario..

A little late to this, but I thought 1-15 to 0-16. I think it's 1-31 over the next two years.

2-14 fine with me as long as we stick it to whack job Gase and the Jets twice!

Well a few of us are on course to be right with a 4-12 record.
