Dolphins #1 Overrated team

[Stewie]

1. Miami: The Dolphins will be a popular pick to win the AFC East for those who only look at how Miami finished 2005. Yes, coach Nick Saban did lead his team to six straight wins after a 3-7 start. But that run also included five victories against teams that didn't make the playoffs -- Oakland, Buffalo, San Diego, the New York Jets and Tennessee -- and a sixth win against a New England team resting its starters for the playoffs. The main question here is whether quarterback Daunte Culpepper can regain his Pro Bowl form. If he can't, then these Dolphins remind me of last season's Buffalo Bills, a team that rode into the year with a wave of high expectations and flopped under the pressure.

You don't believe the opinions the fins are on the rise, I'm sure you don't believe the fins are overrated.

Re: Dolphins #1 Overrated team

So when the media criticizes the Bills draft, we're supposed to ignore their opinions because they're self appointed "experts" who would be working for an NFL franchise if they were any good.

When the media says we're going to have a bad season, we're supposed to ignore it for the same reason.

But when the media says that the Dolphins are overrated, it's great and we're supposed to point and laugh at the Dolphins fans?

Funny how the media isn't credible when they criticize the Bills, but they're legitimate experts when they criticize the Dolphins or the Pats.

Re: Dolphins #1 Overrated team

I certainly feel that Dolphin fans have alot to be optimistic and excited about. This team very well could be one of the best next season. However, that remains to be seen. One thing we do know is that going out and signing a bunch of new player, regrdless of who they are, does not equal success. This team, while talented, could flop, no question. We see it happen all the time.

So for all you trash talking Dolphins fans out there, it is still way to early be walking around all **** strong running your mouths.

Who is pointing and laughing? Seems to me that PAULB simply posted an SI article. Did he even offer an opinion?

Wow do you have the same post for every thread saved? No one offered an opinion, just posted an article.

Re: Dolphins #1 Overrated team

I am one to admit the Dolfags are improved but they are overrated just like the Bills were last year coming into the season. For the sole reason of the winning streak to end the year just like the Bills did.

no, paulb didn't offer an opinion on this one. But every time someone posts an article bashing the Bills, someone pipes in about how the media doesn't know what they're talking about and they're only self-appointed experts, etc.

Where are all those people now that our rival is being bashed instead of us?

Op does not post anymore. He uses an Artifical Unintellegence to post something negative every time.

Well I guess our rivals can be thankful they have you to defend them. You seem to believe everything negative and nothing positive written about the Bills. Others believe everything positive and nothing negative. How is that any different?

Re: Dolphins #1 Overrated team

I am always a fan of bashing AFC competition, but until the Bills become better than any of them (I'd say they MIGHT be better than the Jets right now)......



Plus, any team with Chris Chambers, a (IMO) blossoming Ronnie Brown, Randy McMichael, Culpepper, and dang good defensive vets has a good chance to excel.

Thanks for the article!

apparently you think it's ok to challenge the credibility of the media when they say something bad about the Bills but accept the credibility of the media when they something bad about the Fish? That's called hypocrisy.

And once again, what is it exactly that we have to feel positive about?

That's not true. Example: If Dick Jauron had a winning record as a head coach, I would definitely be less apprehensive about him going into this season. But he has a losing record as a head coach. People who are positive say "well at least he's not Mularkey" and "Marv Levy had a losing record before he came here". That has nothing to do with Dick Jauron and nothing to do with this team. In this particular case, people who question the Jauron signing have more credibility than people who compliment it. You need to take it on a case by case basis.

And for the record, yesterday I was critical of the Fox rankings that had us as 31, saying we should be higher. I believe this team is bad, but not as bad as they said it was. That was negative and I didn't believe it because if you look at teams like the Jets, it's just not credible.
