Well?

I say we're 5-2 come the bye week.

It would be nice to play more early games at home, but oh well.

Looks like Culpepper should definitely be back for the game vs. MIN.

This year, we definitely have a chance to exorcise the December Demise once and for all.  Our 5 Dec. games are against 3 division opponents and 2 in-conference playoff teams.

Piece of cake.  looking at 10-6 wildcard berth by my early conservative estimates.  Could be better with Ricky.  Obviously there's doubts about whether we'll pick up where we left of with a new qb and oc and all.  But our schedule could be worse.  Gotta love playing the lions.  AND THE J-E-T-S S-U-C-K-B-A-L-L-S!!!  Gosh I am ready for some football, Go Fish!!!!!!!!! ARRRRRGGGGGGGGG!!!!!

Sucks we don't have a Monday nighter AGAIN.... but wait, what was I saying, Sunday night is now the marquee game!!!

OH well, at least we've only got one cold-weather game to worry about.  Unfortunately, it's in stinkin, lousy Buffalo. 

The December 25th Jets game is a Monday Night game.

Playing Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Year's Eve.  Wow.

horrible scheduling.  My family is going to disown me this year.

2. I think Miami's got it tough, too. Really tough. I like the Thursday-night opener in most cases, because it gives a team almost a mini-bye -- 10 days off before the next game to fix what ails it. But the Dolphins finish with the Colts and have, like Philly, a three-game road trip. Miami goes to Houston, New England and the Jets on Oct. 1, 8 and 15. Miami is also at Buffalo on Dec. 17. That's a pretty tough road, all in all.

Keep in mind that the late season Sunday night games are on the "flexible schedule". Its very well possible that 4 of the last 5 games we play (Jacksonville, New England, Buffalo and Indy) can end up being prime time games depending on team records and the playoff implications of those games.

     I'm looking foward to the Minnesota game at home.  Can't wait too see Daunte make Brad Childress his personal bitch!

I just realized that the flexible schedule starts earlier than I thought (I thought it was after Thanksgiving).
There are potentially 2 more games that could get switched- The Chiefs and the Vikings, both in Miami. I think the Vikings game has a good chance of being moved, for obvious reasons.

NICE-A

I wouldn't worry too much. By the Christmas & New Years games Miami will be so far out of contention you will have plenty of time for them.

I'm sorry, you must have me confused for a Broncos fan that only goes to the game when the team is good.

They haven't been as pitiful as Miami since the early 70's, which is not in my lifetime, so i wouldn't know.... ::)

you sure about that?

Losing seasons since 1980:

1982    NFL    Denver Broncos    2-7-0
1990    NFL    Denver Broncos    5-11-0
1994    NFL    Denver Broncos    7-9-0
1999    NFL    Denver Broncos    6-10-0

1988    NFL    Miami Dolphins    6-10-0    
2004    NFL    Miami Dolphins    4-12-0

What else you got?

'99 does not count. We were champions 2 years prior and transitioned QB's. I'll give ya '90 and '82

OK, well 2004 doesn't count for us cause we had a retard for a coach and were transitioning into the Saban era.

And what's your excuse for '94?

LMAO ! NICE !  :D

This is great stuff.  ;D

Why is the Bronco's 1982 season so short?

From Wikipedia....

The league faced another problem when a 57-day long players' strike reduced the 1982 season from a 16-game schedule to 9. Because of the shortened season, the NFL adopted a special 16-team playoff tournament. Division standings were ignored. Eight teams from each conference were seeded 1-8 based on their regular season records.

..and Miami went to the Super Bowl that year.. lost to the Redskins in the Super Bowl. I was in 5th grade. I cried.  :'(

That shouldn't even count.

wow...no love from the nfl.....that's a rough schedule  8-8 if we are lucky

I hope you're not serious.  Our schedule is a cakewalk.  Who on that scedule scares you other than the Colts?

at Pittsburgh..when they get their rings, especially if Culpepper isn't 100%.

Outside of the first and last game, we have 14 winnable games(who knows..Indy might have nothing to play for.)

Right - Forgot about that.

Should we be afraid of the Packers, Chiefs, or Vikings?

We know the Jets and Bills have nothing to offer this season, and New England is on the STEEP AND RAPID DECLINE.

And, besides, McDuff - who says the Dolphins will have anything to play for by week 17?

I love the optimism! I hope you are right(for all the positive reasons of course)   :)
