Re: SI Projected Standings

I personally don't think the Dolphags are going to the Super Bowl tho.

Re: SI Projected Standings

Seems reasonable.

Except for the fish.

there are at least three teams better than the 'fins in the AFC.

Re: SI Projected Standings

I realize that Green bay blows but CIncy looked a lot better than 8-8....

Re: SI Projected Standings

That would mean the last wildcard spot would come down to the season finale VS the Ravens. I would take that season.

Re: SI Projected Standings

Kewl! the last time experts chose the fins to go to the sb, they imploded.

My theory of the fins usually holds true. The are usually the team that starts out strong since they work out in the heat of Florida. They then get burned out towards the end of the season.

It's so easy to beat the fins , start the back ups and watch Moolarkey panic since he didn't game plan for them.

Steelers 12-4?

Re: SI Projected Standings

All of these projections are meaningless. Any one of us schmucks could do one and be just as possible.

Re: SI Projected Standings

The Bills are going to be on the bottom left side.

Exactly, this is pretty much where each team stood at the end of the year standing wise (not record) in each their divisions last year. That took a lot of thinking.

Bills 8-8. I would be happy with that

I'd be happy with a 7 figure bonus but that ain't happening either.

With that positive attitude you could earn anything.

So usually is the key word, since that didn't happen last year? I mentioned many times that last year's big push was against lackluster teams, but one has to make a primer sometime, correct? For the 1st time (in forever,lol,) we actually got stronger in the second half of games and the second half of the season. I also believe there are a lot of fans that say "this time it will be different," and I'm sure that gets old, but at some point, improvement and change does happen.

I think SI was way too generous, I see us being competitive, but if they can overtake NE or get a wildcard, then I'd be happy in all of year two of Saban's regime. I myself, would rather see the Dolphins as the underdogs, instead of the glitzy pick.
