OK at least I will, please join me other brave souls.
For the first time in heaven knows how long, I have great optimism for the season. First off I see Miami winning their opening game at the Browns, as well as upsetting the Falcons here at home.
I won't predict records but I think they will be talked about as the most improved team in the NFL and it just may get down to the final game with NE....here in Miami, for the AFC East...I think they will be that improved.

A lot of promise from new guys.
A lot of WTFs WRT WR Mike Wallace.
Not ready to contend yet, but hopeful. Assuming Tannehill doesn't
implode.

I'm totally digging this. Need some time to think it through, but am so going to put my prognostications out ASAP.

mind, 4 things have to go right.
1) OL - possibly 3, less likely 4 new faces/positions on the OL. That
takes time to gel and Sept doesn't look easy. I'll be happy with 103.
2) RT - 2nd year. How will he play. Yes, new weapons and more
experience but that doesn't always translate into top play. I EXPECT
him to be much improved but know one knows for sure.
3) pass rush - should be much improved but a lot of variables,
including the FAs, Vernon, Jordan. Can they be successful?
4) CBs - I'm more optimistic about this group, assuming no rash of
injuries. A solid pass rush will make them MUCH better. Still, the
current starters are coming off injuries and the next best, IMO, are the
rookies.
All that said, I think 8-8 is doable. 9-10 wins if one of the rookies
lights up the league and the OL gels much sooner than expected.

Week 1 @ Browns - WIN
Plenty of time for Philbin and Co. to game plan for a not so great team gets the Phins out of the box strong.
Week 2 @ Indy -LOSS
Luck is to much for a defense still getting its feet wet.
Week 3 Atlanta - WIN
Miami pulls a not so stunning upset in its home opener.
Week 4 @ NO - WIN
Phins use their team speed on both sides of the ball to pull this out in a prime time battle.
Week 5 Baltimore - LOSS
The Crows are still the SB champs and pull out a last minute win in a tight game.
Week 6 - BYE
Week 7 Buffalo - WIN
A week off to get healthy and game plan is all the Phins need to beat a shitty team.
Week 8 @ NE - WIN
The weather cooperates and the Phins steal one.
Week 9 CINN - WIN
The Phins beat the overrated Kitty Cats in another Pime Time game.
Week 10 @ TB - WIN
Back to back wins in prime time against another overrated team.
Week 11 SD - WIN
No way SD wins a 1:00 game on the "right" coast.
Week 12 CAR - WIN
Dude, it's Carolina we're talking about
Week 13 @ JETS - WIN
Yes, the Jets are that bad and Mia has a six game winning streak
Week 14 @ PITT - LOSS
Mia has trouble in Pits historically and the pressure of a six game winning streak is too much.
Week 15 NE - LOSS
No way Phins sweep NE.
Week 16 @ BUF - WIN
Phins pull one out in the snow to complete the season sweep.
Week 17 JETS - WIN
Mia sweeps the nothing to play for, overmatched Jets, sending Rover to the unemployment line.
So I'm going with 12 - 4 and the first playoff berth in what, 8 years?
In no way should anyone take these predictions for anything more than what you paid for them.
Flame away!!

a perfect year. Would like to see it happen again.
AND to see Belicheat and the Bucs (who call everyone a troll that does
not agree with them) get set straight sounds just fine with me too.
