The overall point should be that the team is much better than the national media and most outsiders thought. We all knew that the team underachieved and was poorly coached the last several years, and should have been a wildcard-level club, but was below average instead. Combine better coaching with a good rookie class and finally a real quarterback, and the team is looking....well, average, but so is just about everyone else in the AFC. I like that the site gives us a 71% chance to finish first or second in the division. I think that most of us would have thought that was a best case scenerio going into the season.
If the team can continue to play well all year, tannehill develops, and they stay healthy, that will be a win into itself. If that can put a cherry on top by challenging for a playoff spot all season, that would just be awesome, but I wont be crushed if it doesnt happen. I will, however, expect contention in 2013.Bpk likes this. -
We can't just be happy that our young QB is developing nicely, he has to win the division against arguably a Top 3 QB of all-time in his rookie year.Clark Kent likes this. -
Winning the division would be surprising. But this team contending for the playoffs shouldn't be a major surprise. There were people that recognized the talent on the team prior to the season starting.

Is there any stat that accounts for the odds of bad referee breaks turning into some good ones for the team that got sh&$ on.
I would say the past two weeks there hasn't been a team that's had more poor calls, more bad bounces than us, that can't be a lasting trend..Still won though. -

Interesting going back to the preseason threads. FinD said he guaranteed the team finishes .500 or better. The responses were classic. Majority of people thought this team would win 4-5 games max.

Like a few have said already, I don't think we really have enough talent to do much this year, given the lack of play-makers, the ups and downs some of our young talent will likely have and the fact that it's pretty likely that the pasties and jests aren't playing very well now, but are still talented enough to beat us head to head. Realistically, we have to play our absolute best pretty much every game to win the division whereas the jests and pasties can 'afford' a bad game or two...it's still going to be fun and as long as we continue to see the development of the young players we now have throughout the season, even if we don't end up in the dance, I'll be satisfied... Seriously, how great it would be to be looking at the draft and FA with the thoughts that we won't have to look for another QB... A far cry from the storied history of fan-dom with this franchise, but I'd be totally satisfied with that when all is said and done this season...

Oh, I think we could especially if we can at least split with the patriots.

IF you take the team at face value it might seem like a little bit of a stretch ... BUT if you were to look at the remaining schedules - it isn't a stretch at all ...
In the DIV -- we clearly have the most winnable games left (5) as compared to NE + NYJ at (3) ...
In the CON -- we are tied for the 2nd most 'winnable' schedule behind DEN (6) and tied with SD + HOU at (5) ...
Has limited bearing on how the record will end up -- but for stats and simulations it sure does!!
According to current records - the DIV IS there for the team to win ... (assuming RT doesn't have too many 'rookie' moments and we have no siginificant injuries)
What we likely know today:
- HOU will win their DIV and no one else there matters
- DEN will and SD most likely will make the playoffs based on their remaining schedule (albeit SD is vastly over rated) and no one else there matters
- BAL, CIN + PIT have very tough schedules and are going to kill each other ... best case is '2' of the 3 make it
- NE is the competition on the DIV ...
- JETSSUCK!!
- JILLS don't matter ... -

I see little wrong with it. Perhaps the only valid criticism may be the tone of shouright but he's never steered from such; it's a part of all his posts and why many, many, people often take issue with him. I know I have in the past. But again, I see little wrong with the assertion.

If someone is following the ToS, comments about their tone are themselves a violation of the ToS, since those are comments about a person and not a post. If you don't like the person's tone, remove him from "your" forum with the ignore function. You'll never have to read another word the guy says.
