Mark Schlereth jumps on the bandwagon too....predicts playoffs for Miami

F***!!!

Just what we (don't) friggin need...

What's more funny is that since Mark S said something good about the Dolphins, most fans will like him more. If he would have said something negative, most people would hate him...lol

Btw, I think we can make a run at the wildcard spot. Tough schedule ahead though.

I think he called it good the Ravens have lost 9 of their Super Bowl players Pats aren't going to just roll over and die and the Bengals might be a very good team. I personally think the Broncos might be the toughest AFC team to beat this year, and the Texans will be right there.

But don't post a positive thread on the Dolphins stay negative and the thread will get more hits.

Not a believer in the Bengals. Dalton will keep deteriorating IMO. he already had good weapons last season and didn't impress.
Funny thing, I was just thinking tonight that our new offense reminds me of how the Bengals played during Dalton's rookie season, when they had weapons similar to ours (what we have on paper anyway) and they made the playoffs.

I don't think there is an in between this year. It's drastically disappoint (like 5-11) or win the division (10-6).

Personally, I believe we win the division.

Though you look at free-agent teams like the Blue Jays, who were supposed to dominate the AL East on paper, and they are not meeting expectations.

It is nice to hear positive things about the Dolphins, been a long time.

Positive pub doesn't mean a damn thing honestly.

How is their not an in between BK, why this playoff or bust mentality, I don't get it..there are ways where this team can wind up where the arrow is pointing upward without making the playoffs..The term Playoffs or bust is not something usually associated with a 2nd hear coach and Qb.

Very true, but it is nice to hear about the Dolphins thru the media again.

Actually, of all the former players turned analysts, I think he's the one I'd love to sit down and have a few beers with... I don't always agree with him, but his analysis is usually fairly solid...

I don't know about the playoffs or bust thing, but I look to see this team improve greatly this year. If Tanny has that breakout year, it could be the start of something special...

On the other hand, the first 6 games will tell the story... IMO, we have to bust out fast and surprise some against the Dolts, Ravets, and even the pasties to start the year out...

Very true, I don't think he takes teams personally and he doesn't show his ego like a few do.

Travis, are you stocking Mark S?

I tend to agree about Dalton and his track record against Pittsburgh and Baltimore is pretty bad (1-5.) But have you seen that roster? Minus the quarterback, that roster is Seattle Seahawks good. Their line is above average, they're loaded at tailback, AJ Green is top five at his position, Mohammad Sanu is a fine looking number two and the two tight ends they have, Gresham and Eiffert, are scary as hell.

Defensively, they have the best line rotation in the league starting with the best DT in Atkins. They've got Michael Johnson, Carlos Dunlap, Robert Geathers, and Margus Hunt. Vontaze Burfict proved he deserved that first round grade before he butchered his final year at ASU, Malaluga is a good tackler, Harrison can still get to the quarterback, Reggie Nelson is a damn fine safety, and they're four feel at corner with Hall, Newman, Kirkpatrick and Jones.

I'm not a believer in Dalton at all. But they've put together a hell of a team out there.

i don´t agree about the running back position, i take ours everyday and twice on sundays, green-ellis is an average back, nothing fancy tere, we will see about the rookie bernard, i also wouldn´t trade any dline in the league for ours, even if they have geno atkins

All you need to know about Andy Dalton:

17-4 against non-playoff teams
1-11 against playoff teams

The back 7 of their defense is nowhere near consistent enough to make a playoff run. They've lived off weak schedules.

I think Maualuga was PFF's worst rated MLB last year. Spends too much time partying and he's been injured quite a bit. Harrison was a sneaky good signing though.

That's a good thread idea, who is the best, can you include Dion? Lol.

Simpley picked the Bengals because.

Ravens= Down graded this offseason, every team will play them like it's the Super Bowl.
Steelers= Not what they use to be. Cowhers time away shows more and more every season.
Browns= Just a big question mark.
Bengals= Young loaded with talent, and I think they will be hungry.

They seem to be the team in that div ready to step up.

I could put something together later tonight. I've seen enough Bengals to be objective.

Burfict is being consistently overrated now. Yeesh.

I've always liked Stink as an analyst.
