Dolphins have #1 toughest Strength of Schedule

According to NFL.com

http://www.nfl.com/news/story?id=09000d5d80fbaa5d&template=without-video-with-comments&confirm=true

The actual schedules haven't been released yet, but the NFL is giving us this teaser.

I think someone had posted before that the AFC East was playing the NFC East, right? We have a pretty tough season ahead of us fellas.

I have to say though, I hate seeing the Steelers and Cardinals at #29 and #27, after they played eachother in the Super Bowl.

AFC East was playing the NFC East, right?

incorrect

AFCE plays AFC/NFC South this year – which means:

colts, texans, titans, Jax, tampa, new orleans, car, atl

I love it!

This will give the fans a true gauge of the state of our team.

I’m hoping for the best but I think this schedule will reinforce the FO’s warning of “Don’t eat the cheese!” and/or “Don’t drink the Kool-Aid!” concerning last years amazing turnaround.

while true – we never know how the good teams will shake out.

Look at who the AFCE plays next year – TB is rebuilding, Carolina has QB issues, Texans look promising – but they’ve looked promising for a few years now, Titans will find out that life with out Haynesworth isn’t so easy, ATL may have a sophomore slump to deal with.

Obviously I could probably nit pick at all of these teams – but we have to wait until at least mid season before we start saying who’s who and who’s not.

To much changes in the offseason

same point I've been making about the schedule for a while now..

There’s too much turnaround from year to year to try and gauge a schedules strength before the season, and especially before the draft. I agree with you that most of these teams won’t look the same as last season, and some of them may look different from the beginning of the year to the week that we play them.

btw, hilarious sig. I don’t care if you’re a Bills fan or not, that’s funny lol

Bring it on!!!!

That could only mean one thing….LOTS OF PRIMETIME GAMES!!!!!!!

Now is the time- the time to rise up from the depths of Hell and stake our claim back on top of the AFC East...Look out Gaytriots here comes Jake Long and the Phins

That's all I'm hoping for

even if we crap the bed this season, I want to start seeing my Phins play some PrimeTime games again. There’s nothing in the world that pumps me up more than to amp myself throughout the week for a game I KNOW is going to be on TV in a PrimeTime slot.

SOS is often misleading

looking at Miami’s SOS you have to factor this in through out or division opp. records because no matter what we will always play them no matter what. So the combined records for our division foes are Pats 11-5, Jets 9-7, Bills 7-9 twice each so that equals
54-42 which is .562 the rest looks like this 84-63 .571 which often fluxes like remember last year the Pats had the easiest schedule well thats cause you thrown in a 2-30 record from out team and an 8-24 record from the Jets and thats 10-54, so of course it it may look like how does the best team have the easiest schedule.Basically it comes down to the roll of the dice hoping we play a weak NFC conference wont happen this year so there are so many factors that go into this and honestly SOS is almost irrelavent before the season starts cause you factor injuries, unexpected losses and if a team is 12-4 this year who says they wont be like 8-8 this year, we went from 1-15 to 11-5 so its basically meaningless before the season starts.

Home
Texans 7-9 Loss We finally get them at home after going 0-4 at Reliant
Colts *12-4 DNP Team isnt once what it was anymore we can win this game
Steelers *12-4 DNP Dont like our chances here
Saints 8-8 DNP Like are chances for winning this game
Buccs 9-7 DNP I don’t think this will be a very good team

Away
Jagurs 5-11 We should win this road/home state game
Titans 13-3 I’m not impressed at all with this team and wasnt last year
Chargers 8-8 I think they get us this time around
Falcons 11-5 I like us to win this game dome is good for chads arm to
Panthers 12-4 I dont like us to win this game

Divison
Pats 11-5 I think we will split but it will be home and home
Jets 9-7 I think we split with them as well
Bills 7-9 I believe the broom is coming out again for them this year

So all in all I have the Dolphins probably finishing somewhere in the 10-11 win range, I think its very unlieklywe win more 11 games this year. Unless we get our WR’s to tunr it up and give us some elite play. They are good very good but not elite. I think the secondary will be ok because we will have a strong front 7 in front of them so I’m more worried about producing points on offense rather than trying to find a shutdown corner. As much as I love Penny I’d love to see Henne is more action cause its been 10 years and 13 different QB’s since th GOAT retired and I just want to know that he could be that bext guy but we wont know unless he plays. Well thats just some of my ramblings for today tell me what you think. Good or bad

MNF/SCHED STRENGTH

Atleast our MNF games are at home and the Jets suck… They are going off last years results which aren’t accurate this year. The Titans won’t win more that 9 games this year and NE and NYJ will win less games. The only possible (long shot) DIV comp is Bills and that is if Owens can jump right in and work with Evans and Edwards, which usually takes teams awhile… So go MIA… SB Champs in MIA 2010!!!

There are some tough games on the schedule

But, the coldest game the Dolphins have to play is Buffalo on Nov 29th! This really helps as we know the trend the fins follow in December. All though they won at NYJ and KC in the cold.

I think the Fins pull off a few surprise wins, but lose ones that they should win hands down. Can’t wait

The Patriots Suck
