    Right...when you make the playoffs, you're a Super Bowl contender.

    Ugh, its nice to see the team play well, but everyone needs to stop expecting the national media to slob your knobs. If you need espn or profootballtalk to tell you how it is than your already sooo lost. Nobody really gave us a chance last week. Profootballtalk has really fallen off the map as far as im concerned. Theyre extremeley lažy these days and remember they had us pegged as the 31st worst team in the league at preseason. Theyve become high on analyzing as apposed to reporting. These are internet nerds hardly considered journalists, let alone football minds.

    I guess it's fair. Few people believe that PFT is a legitimate sports news organization.

    Because its Florio. He's done a lot of damage to this team in the past.

    Agreed. Florio seems like a nerd who is finally getting his revenge on the jocks.

    At the same time, I don't blame him for his current view point. Most people think the Dolphins are a bad team, because they have been for a while.

    I know I am guilty of the same things about the Lions. They are talented, have the best defense in the league. It wouldn't surprise me if they lost all their remaining games.

    Vegas lines take public opinion into account, they're not predicting the outcome of the game itself theyre predicting what line will draw in the most bettors on each side. The Lions are 6-2 coming off a bye and playing at home, casual fan/bettor likes info like that so the line makes sense. If the line moves off of 3 then something may be up.

    I wish we would bring in Dustin Hopkins to compete with Sturgis...Kid has a bigtime leg and in college he was very accurate. Saw him kick a couple of 58 yarders for the win in different games while at Florida State.

    ******* is back at it. His ego is massive, he can't take it that he was so dead wrong about them being the 31st ranked team before the season started.

    I hope we make the playoffs just to shut this clown up.

    When I was a lot younger, I would check every prediction and power rankings. It would really piss me off. Back in the day, Berman would always pick the Bills vs us and I would lose it. A bit older now, Florio and all the others(including ex players) have as much an idea who will win as a guy flipping a coin. Who really cares? Does not change one single thing about the game. If we make the playoffs, I am sure Florio will pick against us again...Big deal. They all care more about being entertaining than being right. He also had us losing to the Bills last week...lol

    I wasn't sure what all the fuss was about this guy. Now I see it. It would be great to make this guy eat his words and just look dumb.

    There are probably 30 fanbases in the league who are absolutely convinced Mike Florio hates their team.

    Even Patriot fans think Florio hates them... It's hard to be well informed about all 32 teams.

    It has nothing to do with him "hating" Miami or any other team. It has everything to do with him being a hack and realizing being negative and speculative generates clicks....about any team.

    Peyton's 17-2 in Denver since 2012, they're a TD favorite for a reason.

    Well the Dolphins have just one playoff appearance since 2001, so its not like they've earned anything.

    He seems douchy, but I can't say he is wrong about the Dolphins. They blew a golden chance last year at 8-6 (Geno Smith at home?!?). They blew it at 7-6 in 2009/2010. They blew it at 9-5 (while being tied for the #1 seed with Oakland) in 2002 and heading to face one of the worst teams in the NFL. And even though it wasn't December: they blew a talented team in 2006 by picking Culpepper over Brees. They lost to the expansion Texans by 1 point in 2003 week 1, and missed the playoffs on a tiebreaker.

    The only way to change opinions is to actually do something. I mean I even have a hard time picturing them in the playoffs since I've only seen them get there once since I was 13-years-old.

    I respect Mike Florio's opinion, ever since he bashed EA Sports & their pathetic Madden game. Who cares if he picked us to lose we'll prove that he was wrong. Side note anybody still play ESPN NFL 2K5?

    You only make his predictions relevant because you keep posting them on this forum. I doubt most of us would even know or care about his prediction if we didn't come on this forum and have you constantly pointing out what his prediction for the Dolphins game is this week.

    We get that you don't like him and you want him to shut up. Perhaps if you just ignore him, his predictions won't matter to you and you won't let a person you consider a clown upset you anymore.

    I'm not losing sleep over it and I find it funny to some extent.

    I do have a problem with the way he pushed the Jonathan Martin saga, made conclusions with no facts and passed judgement without any proof. All innuendo.

    Sorry that I wasted your time by pointing out two of literally twenty similar posts by Florio this year. Judging by half this place, the only time to vent is the weekly let's blow up the team,fire the coaching staff and get rid of Tannehill threads. In fact people that trash this franchise get defended more than people that are slightly more optimistic than the norm.

    I feel like mike florio starts his articles off with a contradictory sentence, like "miami's defense is one of the best in the league...unless it isn't". Very annoying
