I'm just curious. After these preseason games are complete, will anyone change their predictions on their standings or will it stay the same. Mine will stay the same which is at best 13-3 and at worst 12-4. My girlfriend predicted a 14-2 record but that changed from last week at 12-4. Your thoughts??
You say at worst a 12-4 record? Hmm... that's pretty bold. I'm optimistic about this team this season, and I think they're capable of 12-4. I also think they're capable of 7-9. A couple of key injuries and we're done, and no one can control that. On paper, the team looks like the best team we've had since Marino was playing. However, they haven't proven anything yet. So... Right now, I'll say they look like a playoff team. Gun to my head... I'll say 11-5.
I still think we'll end up about 10-6 or 9-7. I'm super optimistic about our team this year. Totally pumpe for the offense. Though I think our secondary will lose us a few games that should be wins
May change mine, don't know, but right now I have the floor at 11-5. I'll do my annual "AFC East Predictions" thread/contest after PS game 4 (winner gets a free Dolphins ballcap of their choice!). We've had some guys get REALLY close to nailing all 4 records, this one's going to be very tough IMO.
I have them going 14-2. Might bump that to 15 or 16 wins. Stay tuned. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G920A using Tapatalk
I would only change mine if someone else suffered a serious injury. Delmas isn't enough to change my prediction of 11-5.
If by "standings" you really mean preseason standings, then you shouldn't change your predictions because there's such a tiny correlation between preseason standings and regular season ones. Even the outcome of the infamous 3rd game of the preseason where many starters play longer has little correlation with what happens in the regular season. And the reason is obvious: preseason is mostly for practice.. and many guys on the bubble play a lot of minutes, so why care that much? I'd only change my predictions of 10-6 if there's a significant injury or we consistently see the starters playing like crap.
I am in for 10-11 wins even if Albert misses some games. I think Tannehill has grown enough to make the offensive line look good enough with his comfort in the system in his second year in it. I don't think we have lost anything in the ability to run the ball, so I think that will continue to be a strength of the offensive line. So... barring injury to Tannehill, I am comfortable with a 10-11 game win prediction.
I'm optimistic that Albert will play, but even if he does not, we start with Washington and Jacksonville, two of the worst teams in the league. We follow that with a home game against Buffalo, and the London trip vs the Jets, who have two of the worst QB situations in the league. Really, while I'm hopeful that Albert plays so that RT stays safe and we can start to really gel and start putting a lot of points on the board, the first four games don't scare me at all, and I don't think that they should change anyone's view of the overall season record much.
That's fair. Maybe I'm overconfident but I honestly believe this is a 12-13 win team. Although I am perfectly fine with 11-5.
What I was saying is after you see these preseason games play out, do you feel like your prediction should change or stay the same. Like I said...just curious.
