Grantland: NFL Season Predictions, Part 3: The Rising (Miami Dolphins make the list)

I have the dolphins stock rising as well as the season approaches..I think a lot of pundits will be suprised with their play..

Credo is real...Lazor is the real deal..read option. Will be a staple..offense suits the qbs skillset..( unlike the opposite of what Sherman did)..much better oline, across the board...early return by Pouncey...exciting young players McCain, Fede and Trip..James..Landry..Matthews....Finnegan playing at a high level..Moreno adds a legit downhill three down back...Juice...The Gib..Misi in the middle...makes Ellerbe better..no more Thigpen...

I picked us to go 9 and 7 because I thought losing three of our top players is good for a loss, maybe if we can get back our guys early I believe we can make a run at 10 and 6.

 

FWIW Sports Illustrated (I'm assuming Peter King made these predictions) had Miami at 10-6 and taking a Wild-Card (5th seed in AFC).

 

No offense, but Barnwell didn't say a single thing that someone couldn't Google in about 15 seconds.

Look at this crap... they should have the players see this video a bit before the game to get them fired up.

"I'm taking the Patriots for this game, and my only real concern is..."
-"you have a concern?!"

"There's no way Tom Terrific is going to South Beach and losing to the Dolphins"

The worse part is at the end...

Shaun: "only if the Dolphins' D-line catches fire"
Billick: "No, no, no, nonono"

That should get their bloods boiling.

Win. Just win. These stories will write themselves if you just put up W's.

While a loss Sunday would suck, its not the end all be all. We lost to the Jets at home 1st game of the season the year we went to the playoffs. A win Sunday would be HHHHHHHHHUUUUUUUUUGGGGGGEEEEEEE! This team would thrive off the emotion and confidence that win would provide. I see this team playing with passion and trying to set the tone early. If they do that and can maintain that throughout 4 quarters we will win. I just feel it baby!

 

I hope we hit Brady so hard his prepubescent balls finally drop.

 

Any way to pull up their prediction week 15 2013?

 

I always seem to forget that we play all our home games in Miami beach and not Miami Gardens.
