Dolphins Schedule/Opponents Talk/Predictions

It just comes naturally then? So at least you've got that going for you.

 

Yup, I'm an *******.

 

Deadwood had such a terrible third season that they ruined my avatar.

But ...yes...I do know everything. Especially in the NBA..where my success is documented.

 

Most likely we will be 7-9 or 8-8

 

screw you haters, 19-0.

 

That's the spirit, 5 gold stars for you.

 

Sigpic bets are better for forums, besides I don't think there will be any takers after seeing NE rolling in first preseason game.

 

1. Patriots - Loss (0-1). As much as my heart tells me we're going to win a home opener on Monday Night, my head says we're going to get smoked by Brady
2. Texans - Loss (0-2). We've yet to beat the Texans and everytime I see them on our scheduled, I cringe. The grovelings will begin after this game.
3. @ Browns - Win (1-2). They were ranked 29th against the run last year and it's a game we should have won. We'll bounce back decisively after 2 losses.
4. @ Chargers - Win (2-2). We've won 4 of the last 5 played in San Diego. Surprise victory for the Dolphins at Jack Murphy!
5. @ Jets - Win (3-2). We go up to New York after the bye and kick the Jets butt. The offense, despite coming off of a loss in San Diego, starts bonding together.
6. Broncos - Win (4-2). Orton is going to be running for his life. Mike Nolan returns to Denver and knowing their strength's/weaknesses, Miami's D is going to put it to Denver.
7. @ Giants - Win (5-2). In the PoFo, someone said republicans have the ability to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory...so goes the same for the New York Giants
8. @ Chiefs - Loss (5-3). One of the more difficult venues in the NFL to play and with 2nd year reunion with Crennell/Weiss, KC is going to be the sleeper in the AFC.
9. Redskins - Win (6-3). Washington and Miami have been trading victories back and forth. Last meeting was in '07 when Washington won in OT. Look for Miami to avenge that loss
10. Bills - Loss (6-4). Miami seems to play at Buffalo's level and seeing how Buffalo hasn't won in Miami in 2 years, they're due.
11. @ Cowboys - Win (7-4). Miami is 7-5 all time against Dallas and 5-2 against Dallas in their home stadium.
12. Raiders - Win (8-4). Al Davis has the uncanning ability to field a team of superstar nobodies. Miami's won 9 out the last 12 meetings.
13. Eagles - Loss (8-5). Miami may be 7-5 all time against Philly, but the last win against them was Christmas Eve 1999. We're toast.
14. @ Bills - Loss (8-6). We just don't do well going to Orchard Park in the winter, 10-5 at Buffalo playing past October. The Bills sweep us this year.
15. @ Patriots - Loss (8-7). Again, going north during cold weather. Miami's last cold weather win in New England, New Year's Day 2006.
16. Jets - Win (8-8). After a demoralizing loss in New England, Miami closes at home against the Jets and wins. The last time Miami lost 4 games in a row was the dreaded 1-15 season of '07.

As much as my HEART thinks we could have a better record this season, looking at the schedule as well as the history of Miami's record against some of these teams, I can't see it any better and 8-8.

I do have one thing to say though to my post.

I HOPE THE DOLPHIINS PROVE ME WRONG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Buffalo won in Miami last year, but other than that I found your post interesting. Definitely a rollercoaster ride to 8-8 you have there

 

JT is back "Brady Killer"

 

You know you're right. The data I was looking at wasn't updated with last year's records. Damn, looking at so much data I needed some mental floss.

Hmmmm, that MIGHT change some of my predictions...but not by much I'm afraid.

 

I thought he retired, tbh...I guess he's Bruce Smith-ing it now

 

GM 1: vs. NE: Win (1-0)
GM 2: vs. HOU: Win (2-0)
GM 3: @ CLE: Win (3-0)
GM 4: @ SD: Loss (3-1)
GM 5: @ NYJ: Loss (3-2)
GM 6: vs. DEN: Win (4-2)
GM 7: @ NYG: Loss (4-3)
GM 8: @ KC: Win (5-3)
GM 9: vs. WAS: Win (6-3)
GM 10: vs. BUF: Win (7-3)
GM 11: @DAL: Loss (7-4)
GM 12: vs. OAK: Win (8-4)
GM 13: vs. PHI: Win (9-4)
GM 14: @ BUF: Loss (9-5)
GM 15: @ NE: Loss (9-6)
GM 16: vs. NYJ: Win (10-6)

 

Was going back and checking out this thread to see how some of our predictions panned out.

I snickered and shook my head at my predictions. The one game I said we'd lose is the only one we've won thus far.
