Looking ahead... the rest of the schedule...

After back-to-back wins over the participants in last seasons AFC Championship game, why not start to get optimistic?  Why not let your hopes rise?  Let's enjoy this while it lasts, right?  So here's the rest of the season any my (pulled directly out of my ass) predictions...

10/12 @ Houston - The Miami defense we saw today should have a field day with this offense.  Miami wins, 3-2

10/19 Baltimore - Baltimore's defense is back to being one of the best in the league and I see Pennington getting sacked several times in this one... if they can keep them off balance with the creative offensive packages, then they have a chance... I'm going to say this game brings the Phins back to earth a little bit with a close, low-scoring loss - Miami 3-3

10/26 Buffalo - Buffalo scares me - I think they're probably the team to beat in this division, and the #2 team in the AFC so far this season - but coming off a loss and being in Miami, I'm giving this one to the Phins - Miami 4-3

11/2 @ Denver - This will be a test for our defense, but we should be able to outscore the Broncos with their swiss cheese defense... Miami 5-3

11/9 Seattle - The Hawks are just awful this year.  Should be an easy win at home.  Miami 6-3

11/16 Oakland - Another fairly easy home win against a team in total disarray by this point in the season - Miami 7-3

11/23 New England - The unthinkable occurs and Miami sweeps the Pats, who are in a complete freefall by now.  Miami 8-3 (!!!!)

11/30 @ St. Louis - Another awful team, Miami has a 6 game winning streak and fans are delirious with joy... Miami 9-3

12/7 @ Buffalo - And then comes December and those awful road trips up north... Buffalo gets the split and ends our winning streak - Miami 9-4

12/14 San Francisco - This could be one of the best games of the season - The Niners are a young improving team much like the Phins and will still be in the playoff hunt at this point... I'm giving Miami a 1-point win here - Miami 10-4

12/21 @ Kansas City - Even though the Chiefs are a mess, Arrowhead is still a tough place to play, especially in December... if the snow is falling, we're in trouble, and on Dec 21st, chances are the snow will be falling... Miami drops one, to 10-5

12/28 @ NY Jets - On the road, up north, in December, against a team that will have nothing to lose.  Miami will be playing for a wild card spot, and will pull out all the stops.  Miami wins on a last minute game winning drive for a field goal and locks up the 6th seed wild card spot with an 11-5 record!!!! 

Sparano wins coach of the year, we sign a game breaking WR in the off-season, and win the division next year...

Am I nuts?  Probably... but it's great to have a legitimate reason to be optimistic again...

A realistic shot at 10-6. Maybe the Divison, or a Wild Card. Considering Miami keeps playing this well. I would’ve never thought this earlier in the season.

God bless Parcells/Ireland/Sparano.

Are you picking up what I'm putting down?

Indeed...

Now can we make it 3 in a row?

by tenaciouslee on Oct 5, 2008 10:49 PM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

why not?

who would have thought at the start of the season we would have 2 wins in a row……not to mention against Super Bowl prospects? Houston could have a problem. This is a new team and those losses against them don’t mean squat now.

KC sucks but so do we in the snow in December...

We won’t run the table in December with all those road trips… I say KC catches us looking ahead

Houston always beats us though, thats the only thing that bothers me with the next game.

IF (big if) the Fins keep playing the way they’ve played the last two weeks, I think we’re a legitimate 10-6 team.

I’m looking at the rest of the schedule and thinking “who’s next??”

Baltimore, Buffalo, and Denver back to back to back is going to be tough. Its going to test the teams morale.

9-7 but i don’t think it will be enought for playoffs

by crzynick25 on Oct 5, 2008 7:58 PM EDT reply actions   0 recs

not going to do the whole schedule thing

but i’m worried about this desperate texans team – let’s not underestimate them
we have a shot for .500 this year for sure

Football isn't a matter of life and death - it's far more important than that.

Were looking good

Are scedule is so easy now and i believe the only thing that can stop ous is injurys now,But if we dont have any i can realy see this team coming out with about a 9 win season,More than i would have ever thought about….But ous bein in the the afc south i realy do believe thats what is gonna hold ous back from maken it to the wild card…………

Noticing that some peeps got us losing to Balitmore?

Who is Baltimore that we should lose to them at home? A old defense, a rookie QB, and, I’m sorry ,who are their play-makers? Hell we beat them last year with The Cameron coached, Lemon, winless Dolphins.

We treat Flacco like we did Cassell, putting him on his back more times than a NY hooker of Friday night, and win this one going away.

Are you picking up what I'm putting down?

by Neo on Oct 5, 2008 8:22 PM EDT reply actions   0 recs

Their D

Baltimore’s defense is going to give us fits… that’s going to be a low scoring affair – 9-7, 10-6 – the team that scores late in the 4th wins I think… Flacco’s been looking good and, just like us, they are much improved over last season…

by tenaciouslee on Oct 5, 2008 9:37 PM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

We win going away

Flacco will lose them games

There D will keep them in it, or win it for them

Thats all there is to it.

The more i think about it

I agree with Neo, i think we beat Baltimore. They are a heavy defense team…but their offense can’t do much.

by afmo on Oct 5, 2008 8:57 PM EDT reply actions   0 recs

dont forget

Cam Cam is the O-coordintor he knows our defense well.
HAHAHAHA
psych!
he will lose the game for them somehow. he will a game for us this year, as much as he did for us last year!
