Wow, that was pretty blatant. Someone wants Miami to cover!

Maybe the refs just want to make it look like this was totally worth it for the people who woke up at 9:30.

Dolphins biggest surprise of 2015?

I had them pegged for 8-11 win range. But they are much much less than the sum of their parts on the field.

Wonder what the odds the coaching staff is fired and left in London, lol.


The Dolphins do this high expectations nonsense every year.  I don't know why everybody always thinks they're going to be good.

Well they were 8-8 last year and added Suh. What were we supposed to expect, 0-16?

Lolphins :D

So am I seeing this right? Was the NFL was too lazy to actually color the Dolphins' word mark in the end zone? It looks like they just tried to use computers to digitally overlay the color on top of the logo, except they missed the word mark by a few feet.

That's just it though. They should have been a team with a mediocre offense and a top-ten defense.

As of yet, they've been pretty terrible everywhere, in particular the defense. They look every bit a 0-4 win team so far.

This is why reading posts is important, kids.

Firstly, I picked the scenario that is most likely to happen under a system where the teams with the six best records make the playoffs, as I am proposing.

This argument is going solely under the reasoning that we could have a Top 6 playoff system, as opposed to what we currently have. Had division winners not been allowed automatically into the playoffs, and it was merely done under a Top 6 system, the Eagles would have been in last year as a six seed.

The argument about the #2 seed still can be used, because it doesn't add anything. There's no reason to punish the #2 seed with a game against a mediocre opponent just so we can have one more playoff game and the playoffs can be more "exciting" by watching some team get stomped into the dirt.

The argument has to be about what we have now vs. a system with 14 playoff teams, not your non-existent top 6 system that potentially leaves division winners out. If you leave division winners out, then why have divisions to begin with?

Adding a seventh team to the playoffs isn't just about an additional playoff game, but an extended wild card hunt during the regular season.

You are even more annoying than the guys in the rugby thread who think that they are watching a sport that isn't dumb.

...now I'm confused. I've been doing nothing but stating that I'm arguing for a hypothetical playoff scenario where the top 6 teams make the playoffs. In fact, I said a couple posts back that I'd probably prefer 7 teams to what we have now. My argument has never been anything but advocating for top 6. What posts have you been reading?

...and the argument "has" to be on the status quo vs. 7 teams? We're already debating the merits of one hypothetical playoff scenario, why not two?

You have divisions to foster rivalries and determine schedules, much like you have conferences in college football. You shouldn't automatically get a spot in the college football playoff if you win a crappy conference (assuming it had enough spots to fill that many conference winners), and you shouldn't automatically get a spot, much less a home game, in the NFL playoffs simply for being the best of an awful division.

Dolphins need a new coaching staff... They have way too much talent to be playing the way they are. Horrible coaching...

...well Buffalo is looking really bad all of a sudden.
