    I'll be honest, I didn't think we would pull this out either. I can't get on anyone for picking against us on the road and vs a running QB like Murray.

    LOL, to be fair....did you predict a Miami win today? I can't think of anyone on this board that was 100% confident that we'd win. Kyler Murray is a nightmare match-up for us and Tua was making his 2nd start without his top 2 RB's...I certainly didn't expect the W until we scored that defensive TD. From that point forward I was maybe 50/50 on our chances.

    Heck, with 3 minutes left in the whole game I wasn't 50/50 on our chances!

    First of all, I don't know what kind of funky voodoo magic you used to hyperlink that, but it shows that I'm not logged into that link (but I'm still logged in here, and if I open a link on the page in a new tab I'm still logged in as well. So like I said, voodoo magic!). You did predict it earlier so grats on that!

    I did say last month that we'd win six straight, but I changed it a few weeks back to "We'll win 5 of 6 or 6 of 7." I was hoping we'd win but I wasn't confident at all.

    I know it's kind of a trite response, but I like being undervalued and hope that the guys keep playing with a big chip. However, I don't think we will be the underdog against LAC.

    It will be interesting to watch how the team responds as we start to move from underdog to favorites. Flores has been very good at getting the guys to play ball while expectations were low. If he can keep it going when the stakes are higher, that's a huge plus.

    Prior to last week's game against the Rams, I did say that we don't do well historically going west and didn't think we would win today's game. After last week's game against the Rams and seeing how well we played them, I truly began to think we had a chance.

    I thought they had a chance too, but not a grand one and after the first half my gut told me this was going to go bad for us, like losing 48-31 bad, I didn't think we would outgun Murray, I'm still surprised we did.

    Tagovailoa still has a ways to go, but he showed me what I wanted to see...significant improvement from last week. If he keeps this up, we Dolphins fans may be able to start to say, we're back!

    This guy is an idiot! He only got one game right, Baltimore over the Colts. He was dead wrong on every other pick! :sidelol:

    It will be very interesting to see what these idiots have to say about our upcoming games...

    vs Los Angeles Chargers (W)
    at Denver Br.oncos (W)
    at NY Jests (W)
    vs Cincinnati (hmmm, W)
    vs Kansas City (L)
    vs New England (W)
    at Las Vegas Raiders (hmmm L)
    at Buffalo (W)

    My picks in blue and that's just a guess. After seeing what I've seen thus far this season, I'm thoroughly convinced we can finish the season 10-6

    I had the same guess last week in another thread- I think 10-6 or better is realistic for this squad. I also think Buffalo will go 10-6 as well.

    By the way, your guesses up there add up to 11-5, LOL. I had the same picks for the final 8 games BUT I guessed a loss today.

    Predicting us to win wasnt great foreknowledge, it was homerism to a degree.

    There is no logical way to look at the game scenario and feel confident we could win without putting aside all the Arizona advantages in favor of liking us.

    Also just to be clear, saying we have a chance to win isnt the same as predicting with certainty that we WILL win.

    Well... technically that's true, but then this is sports, there's very little anyone can say with 100% certainty.

    Here was my reasoning:

    I reviewed their record this year - their wins were either against weak teams or not that convincing. There was no evidence of domination. Indications were that it would be a close game. I had us losing to the Rams and the way this team has been playing I expected a bounce back from a tough loss at home in what would be something of a trap game for the Cards.

    I also thought we had a chance to win, I predicted it preseason as one of my games I thought we had a shot in.

    I'm just saying they have a very dynamic offense and their defense isn't awful all around, we were starting a rookie QB who has played one full game in the last year or so without a starting or even backup quality HB.

    I'm very very impressed with the grit our team showed to win.

    I like your reasoning, I'm just saying I dont see how anyone could be super confident we would in fact win.

    I swear to God sports "journalists" are starting to become the same as news "journalists", just making crap up based on their own opinion without any flipping facts at all.

    Public service announcement--Regardless of your medium, be it sports, local, national, international, entertainment, financial...regardless of the news, do you own research and make your opinion decision based on your own information.

    According to all of these "experts",
    -The Dolphins were a doomed team from the beginning of the season
    -Initial Vegas odds had Miami winning only 6 games this season
    -Miami could be moving from Tua in 2021
    -Fitzpatrick was not going to be a quarterback you can rely on
    -Replacing Fitzpatrick with Tagovailoa after having 3 wins by double digits margin made no sense

    These idiots are as smart as a box of rocks. We're all smarter than them so bunk anything THEY have to say.
