Week 11 bye, 11th over all pick...11-5 season? -
Should be a good game against the Titans. Two qbs playing for an extended contract, theyre gonna come out firing.

A way too early W/L look at the 2018 schedule. A great start, but a brutal finish to the year.
Sept. 9: Tennessee 1 p.m. Win
Sept. 16: at New York Jets 1 p.m. Win
Sept. 23: Oakland Raiders 1 p.m. Win

Oct. 14: Chicago Bears 1 p.m. Win
Oct. 21: Detroit Lions 1 p.m. Loss
Oct. 25: at Houston 8:20 p.m. Loss
Nov. 4: New York Jets 1 p.m. Win

Nov. 18: BYE
Nov. 25: at Indianapolis Colts 1 p.m. Win

Dec. 9: New England Patriots 1 p.m. Win
Dec. 16: at Minnesota 1 p.m. Loss
Dec 23: Jacksonville Loss
Dec. 30: at Buffalo 1 p.m. Loss
A 9-7 record which might mean sneaking into the playoffs, but a quick exit. -

I think we should aim for a Jets sweep, and Bills and NE split. Win 2 of 3 from the Tenn/Oakland/Bengals games. Sweep Bears and Lions. Split or sweep Texans/Colts. Maybe split the GB/Minn away games, though they can both easily be losses. JVille a tossup.
First 11 games are all very winnable - we hopefully will have a solid record going into that brutal 5 game finish. If we can steal 2-3 of those, and get 8 from the first 11, we are looking between 9-11 wins total.
If we struggle out of the gate (like that horrid Jets game last year) and let those final 5 roll us, we are looking at a 6-7 win season at best.
The QB question just makes so much of this an exercise in futility though. -
Looking at the schedule (and having no idea what training camp will bring), we could realistically get off to a 5-1 or 4-2 start. Gruden with the Raiders worries me and so does at NE, but overall I really like the schedule because we're not playing the Ravens, Pitt or a few of the other AFC powerhouses that seem to have our number. In fact, there really aren't many "we just won't win that" types of games on the schedule at all- Green Bay, Houston, Detroit and Indy are all toss-ups looking at the schedule this far out.
One other tidbit to keep in mind- Brady still hasn't said that he's playing this upcoming season yet. There is a real rift in NE and Gronk wants out, so this may finally be the year where the Pats crumble entirely. Trading Garapolo to stoke Brady's ego was a massive mistake and Belichek's retaliation (going after Brady's trainer) has caused a huge rift from within. I can legitimately see them being an 8-8 team this season...even worse if Brady walks.
While we still have months to get the final roster set and see what we really have, I have a really good feeling about the year w/ #17 back in the huddle and an improved offensive line. We have so many exciting pieces on offense and we just need them to click to make 2018 something really special, so let's hope that folks like Parker, Grant, and others surprise the heck out of us and really flourish!
My noob uneducated guess at this point is a repeat of 2016 with another 10-6 season, but I'll update that with a full review in a couple of months when we get to see some preseason.jboogie, danmarino and texanphinatic like this. -

The most likely scenario definitely sees Tannehill under center against Tennessee, but I wouldn't bet the house. -
Reading some of these posts just makes me shake my head in utter disbelief.
Jay Cutler, not Ryan Tannehill played quarterback last season and yet so many of you are hell bent on replacing the man who was out on IR last year
Now for those of you so concerned about his health and whether or not his knee will hold up seem to forget that during pregame warmups in December , Tannehill was seen running the bleachers. It usually takes 12 full months of rehab following ACL surgery before a player can return and he was running bleachers four months after surgery.
I don’t think you need to worry about his knee more than you do your biasTin Indian, ripper1961 and KeyFin like this. -

Otherwise, we get all 3 division opponents at home in winter months. At Bills last game would be huge upset if we took that.KeyFin likes this. -

I think it's a winnable game as well for us though...will be a good one!bigballa2102 likes this. -
I’m More worried about Tannehill finding his rhythms than his knee. He’s basically been out almost 2 years.

If Miami takes a falling QB at #11 (Mayfield? Rosen?) they might as well fully commit to building for the future. Work a day two trade for Tanny, as there will be several QB needy teams. Even the Browns or Colts might be in the market for him (is Luck actually healthy?) and they have plenty of picks to play with.
What I actually expect is for them to grab a development QB in round three or probably four (with the first pick of that round). Use the other picks to build the best team possible around Tanny and help him succeed. In other words, they are only drafting a QB this year as a potential backup and maybe eventual starter material. -
It's also why - IF we take a round 1 QB - that we would probably be best served going into camp with Tannehill instead of forcing a day 2 trade. See if anyone gets injured or looks bad in camps/preseason and put some floaters out there. Bortles revert back to first half of 2017 Bortles? Hey Jacksonville! Bradford go down in flames again? Hey 'Zona! Goff get knocked? Hey LA! Etc. -
Tannehill will not be tradeable for anything significant. -
I want to see them build the best team they can around Tanny this year. -

You have to give RT a chance to see if he can pick up where he left off.
If he does, you now have 2 QB's with tremendous trade value going into the next season.
If he doesn't, you have his replacement a year into the system. -
Here's my problem with a 1st round QB- some are expecting Mayfield to go between #1 and #3 overall by the Bills....if not, he's going to the Jets at #4. So either he's off the boards completely OR we're giving up our 1st, 2nd and next year's 1st to get him. To me that's just too much to pay when you THINK you have your QB for the next five plus seasons in #17.
And if we'd pass on Mayfield and grab someone else, maybe even naturally at #11, you're still passing on one of the best defensive players or possibly the best O lineman in the country for someone you don't anticipate to start. I am not against that if they think they're getting a generational talent that will lead the club for 10 years, but that's not what I'm personally seeing from any of the top prospects. So I don't see taking that gamble when someone like Falk will be there a few rounds later and Gase really likes him as well.
If we move up though, then that tells me our leadership feels like we have a playoff team AS-IS, TODAY and we can afford the luxury of building for the future. I personally don't see that with questions at corner, safety, LB and interior D linemen.....we have talent but it's not PROVEN talent other than Jones and Wake. I want to believe that McMillian will be a stud and Howard will be a leading shutdown corner, for example, but they've yet to show us that consistently and I don't see how you bet the farm on a QB while saying "I think they will be..."
Personally, I think all the talk of moving up in the draft is just a move to make Buffalo or NY waste moving up for nothing...and let's not forget that NE could be in desperate need of a QB as well. Brady has hinted at retiring and they now have nobody at all behind him, so Belicheat may hit desperation mode himself here.bigballa2102 likes this. -

So, an after the draft update to the W/L record this year:
Sept. 9: Tennessee 1 p.m. Win
Sept. 16: at New York Jets 1 p.m. Win
Sept. 23: Oakland Raiders 1 p.m. Win
Sept. 30: at New England Patriots 1 p.m. Loss
Oct. 7: at Cincinnati 1 p.m. Win
Oct. 14: Chicago Bears 1 p.m. Win
Oct. 21: Detroit Lions 1 p.m. Win
Oct. 25: at Houston 8:20 p.m. Loss
Nov. 4: New York Jets 1 p.m. Win
Nov. 11: at Green Bay 1 p.m. Loss
Nov. 18: BYE
Nov. 25: at Indianapolis Colts 1 p.m. Win
Dec. 2: Buffalo 1 p.m. Win
Dec. 9: New England Patriots 1 p.m. Win
Dec. 16: at Minnesota 1 p.m. Loss
Dec 23: Jacksonville Loss
Dec. 30: at Buffalo 1 p.m. Loss
Changing a loss to the Detroit Lions to a win, for a 10-6 record. I was also tempted to change the game at Buffalo to a win since they'll be starting a rookie QB by then, but Miami probably drops a projected win somewhere else anyway. -
Sept. 9: Tennessee 1 p.m. Win- Miami has a decent record on opening day at home.
Sept. 16: at New York Jets 1 p.m. Win- The Jets...need we say more?
Sept. 23: Oakland Raiders 1 p.m. Win- I'm hoping the allure of "Chucky" and his return to the Raiders will have worn off...or not taken off by the time we face the Raiders...not to mention we're on the upside of the record playing them at home.
Sept. 30: at New England Patriots 1 p.m. Win- I know, right? NE's first three games are against the Texans, Jags and Lions before facing us.
Oct. 7: at Cincinnati 1 p.m. Win- The Marvin Lewis era is over in Cincinnati and the Bengals are going going to be a mess
Oct. 14: Chicago Bears 1 p.m. Loss- For some odd reason, historically we don't fair well against the NFC Norse
Oct. 21: Detroit Lions 1 p.m. Loss- As stated above
Oct. 25: at Houston 8:20 p.m. Loss- Damned Houston...they have our number; one of the few teams we can't ever seem to beat
Nov. 4: New York Jets 1 p.m. Win- Get out the broom!!!
Nov. 11: at Green Bay 1 p.m. Loss- Hopefully the tundra won't be TOO frozen. Where's global warming when you need it?
Nov. 18: BYE
Nov. 25: at Indianapolis Colts 1 p.m. Win- Fresh off a bye, players rested!!
Dec. 2: Buffalo 1 p.m. Win- Only because it's in Miami and not Orchard Park
Dec. 9: New England Patriots 1 p.m. Win- Again, get out the broom! These aren't your father's Patriots!
Dec. 16: at Minnesota 1 p.m. Win- This is the one team in the NFC Norse we play well against
Dec 23: Jacksonville Win- As I recall, Jacksonville limped into the playoffs last year before exploding. Hopefully the'll have a sprained ankle.
Dec. 30: at Buffalo 1 p.m. Loss- Orchard Park in December. Need I say more?
I can truly see an 11-5 record, unlike many who are already calling for Gase's and Tannehill's head. The key to this season...as was last season...the defense. We were handicapped from day one of the season with the loss of Tannehill, but our defense under Matt Burke was SUPPOSED to step up....and they failed miserably.
