Hopefully they will secure a few more players next off Season to prevent the little Meltdowns. I'm really happy with the way this season is going. If we can just beat the jets next time around I'm a happy camper. :)

Considering that the Dolphins went 1-15 last year one can say that they were expected to be probably 1-6 at this point... The inconsistency we are seeing is the Dolphins growing and learning how to win. You cant go from worst to first over night. I think the Dolphins have already surpassed everyones expectations already.

Although it's not very common I've seen it happen. The Rams were 4-12 and last in their division in 1998. A year later, they were hoisting the Super Bowl trophy in Atlanta. The Carolina Panthers finished 1-15 in 2001. Two years later, they were a hair's breath of beating the Pats in Super Bowl XXXVIII Hell, both the Jacksonville Jaguars and the Carolina Panthers were expansion teams in 1995. A year later, both were playing for their respective conference titles.

None of those are examples of "worst to first overnight"The Carolina Panthers finished 1-15 in 2001.

However, 2 seasons is hardly "overnight" and playing for conference titles and losing is not "first." The Rams were last in their division, but not last in the league. The Eagles, Colts, and Bengals were all 3-13 that season.
