10 win possibility thread revisited

[raptorsfan29]

How many think 10 wins is possible now. I called this revisited because i made a thread a couple months ago asking if anyone thought it was possible the team could win 10 games, i only got maine to say the team can win 10 games,  so any more takers,

[simeon]

Definately in my dreams, and hopefully in reality.
Might be a bit of a stretch, but who knows?

[Brian Fein]

I really think this team will surprise a lot of people, but I still think 10 is a stretch.  I don't think 8 is unreasonable.

Let's see ... 3 preseason games against...nope, sorry, I'm not a believer yet.

You can definately see the the "Parcells factor" at work.The 'Phins look alot more physical than in years past.Maybe not this year but I can see some good things happening in the near future.Old school baby.

QFT.

3 wins, maximum.

2 wins in pre-season and "$0.02 Dollars" (inside joke) gets you a cup of coffee at the local bagel store. I just knew a thread like this would pop up here tonight. Unbelievable. What's next - a Super Bowl prediction?

I did hear one on the radio tonight.  It was tongue and cheek though.

Still waiting on your "How the Dolphins will go 0-16 in 2008" thread.

I dont know why people don't think we cant compete

Sure our offense is revamped and we have a learning qb...

But our defense is solid... and we have a great running game

We lost 6 games last year by 3 points or less... Its not like teams were blowing us out left and right.

I think we can turn those 3 point losses into victories
Plus having to play the Nfc west instead of the East for games will make our schedule alot easier

The East not only had the super bowl victor but 3/4 teams made the playoffs last year.

So yeah Go Dolphins

[MyGodWearsAHoodie]

Possible yes.  But highly improbable. 

[fyo]

I still don't see us winning more than 6.

[Jim Gray]

Wow, I'm speechless.   While anything is possible, to suggest 10 wins seems incredibly optimistic after a 1 win season and based on 2 preseason wins.

I believe the Dolphins will be much more competitive this year, but this team is short on talent and depth.  I'll give the coaching staff a lot of credit for getting the most out of what they have, but the disasterous personnel decisions made over the past 7 years will not be cleaned up that quickly.  The extreme rebuilding process that is taking place in Miami has the team looking more like an expansion team than an established franchise.   It will take time for the players to learn the schemes and learn to play together. 

I'm not trying to be a downer.  Truth is, I'm really pleased with what I'm seeing; but I want to set some realistic expectations and goals for this team.  I don't think 10 wins is realistic or fair. 

There will be an "official" prediction thread after the final preseason game and everyone will have a chance to voice their opinion.   I plan to ask everyone to list the 2008 schedule and break out the wins/losses.  It should be very interesting.

[Spider-Dan]

I have a $100 bet with my dad on who will have the better record: SF or MIA.

I still feel confident that I will win it.

Word to you both QFT...

Let's remember, during the regular season,teams actually look at film on you each week and Build a game plan to play you in the Regular season..Something that doesn't happen in Preseason...How many Preseason games have the Colts won in Preseason the past 4 years? (the stat I heard the other day was 1) Yet year in and year out they are generally 5-0 + at the begining of the year....

While I think We'll play better this year...Sorry Ten wins..possibily...Extremely unlikely....I'll up my win total to 6...
