Title: Thoughts after the Commanders game
Post by: Pappy13 on December 05, 2023, 09:17:05 am
This is the year we find out if December really is a bad month for the Dolphins or if they've just been bad for 25 years. I'm cautiously optimistic it's the latter. I expect the Dolphins to win all their remaining home games except Dallas and go 12-5 and win the division and have a shot at the 1st round bye. I don't expect the week 18 game against Buffalo to have any meaning for Buffalo, they'll already be eliminated from playoff contention.

I more than agree.  I think they can beat every team on that schedule but Baltimore on the road on New Year's Eve will be a tough matchup, the toughest one left.

The Dallas game will be a barn burner.

Agree with a lot of this. I'm really just hoping we can beat Baltimore on the road, not expecting it. Dallas always chokes with the pressure on, so if they're still in the division race, maybe they choke against us too.

The entire team is exuding confidence; and the head coach is supporting them in every possible way.  It's the first time in decades that I'm thinking about the #1 seed, versus hoping for a bunch of things to go the right way so that they can get a wildcard spot.

They did last year.  They can do it again.   The only difference is, last year, the game was in September when the weather was more to Miami's liking.   Just gotta hope there's no snow or extreme cold.
