10 win possibility thread revisited

[Dave Gray]

NE...I say winable but I could see an argument for not...

NE is winable, in the sense that any game is technically winable.  But you think a 1 win team (in OT) can beat a team with no losses in the regular season?  ...and the most dominant overall season in the history of the NFL?  It's madness.

Of course it could happen....but if ever there was a guaranteed loss...NE is that loss.

[YoFuggedaboutit]

Here's Dave's formula. 


.75   N.Y. Jets   
.75   at Arizona Cardinals   
0   at New England Patriots   
0   Bye   
.25   San Diego Chargers   
.5   at Houston Texans   
.75   Baltimore Ravens   
.5   Buffalo Bills   
.5   at Denver Broncos   
.25   Seattle Seahawks   
.75   Oakland Raiders   
.25   New England Patriots   
.5   at St. Louis Rams   
.25   at Buffalo Bills (Toronto)
.75   San Francisco 49ers   
.75   at Kansas City Chiefs   
.5   at New York Jets   

8 Wins

Curious, how do you computer a 0 chance of winning at NE and .75% chance of beating the Jets?

[StL FinFan]

Yeah well we hate the Jets the most.

Hey Tenshot13,

No argument there.

Trivia question:


(no looking it up in a book or internet site)

1)  What team when 1-15 in 1996 and 9-7 the following year? 

2) who was their head coach?

1.  The New York Jets

2.  Rich Kotite was the head coach when they went 1-15.  The following year, Bill Parcells was the head coach.

Means Jack didly...
1.) Bill Parcells isn't the Head Coach of the Miami Dolphins...

2.) They may have changed starting Qb's in between 1996,and 1997....Neil O'Donnell was on the roster the year before...They already had guy's like Keyshwan Johnson,Wayne Chrebet,Kyle Brady,Adrian Murrell in 1996..They weren't brought in 1997...The defense already had guy's like Hugh Douglas,Marvin Jones,Mo lewis,Arron Glenn...


There was Talent on the roster...The Dolphins Roster a little Thin on the Talent already here...

lol

ok ok I know I don't sound very logical but come on...everyone is so damn negative or should I say critical...I'm just trying to call that Cinderella moment when we win the superbowl this year 

NE is winable, in the sense that any game is technically winable.  But you think a 1 win team (in OT) can beat a team with no losses in the regular season?  ...and the most dominant overall season in the history of the NFL?  It's madness.

New England's secondary got raped this offseason...and losing Stallworth is going to affect that team more than people think...he might not have done much last season, but teams still had to worry about him being a deep threat...without him and an aging defense they WILL NOT win the division this year...NE is STILL crying about their Superbowl loss (boo hoo we aren't going to the pro bowl...boo hoo we aren't going to the ESPYs) and I think they will have a Superbowl hangover like most teams who lose the superbowl.

Sometimes you have to be illogical about the NFL...that way when things like NYG beating NE in the Superbowl or New Orleans having a comback Cinderella season a couple years back don't seem so shocking...you heard it hear first people and trust me if I'm wrong it won't be the first time I've eaten my words!

So who is the troll and who is the fin fan?

I'm glad you laughed about the rose colored glasses.  Actually, I love the optimism.  If one of us has to eat our words at the end of the season, I hope it's me.

It's called realism,and fanning the idocracy (IMO) of a ten win season is stupid...We've not seen 10 wins with this franchise since 2003....the last year under Wanny,and every year people watch a couple of preseason games,and think we're going to be much better than we are....]

Comparing the 1996-97 Jets to the 2007-08 Dolphins is apples to oranges...

Ya because the Jets and their fans are a bunch of douches while the Phins are the best team in the history of the NFL!

Trivia question:  What team gave New England their most recent regular season defeat?  And what was the final score?

[bsfins]

Miami Dolphins, 21-0 December of 2006....So what's this have to do with the price of oil in New zealand...Nothing it's 2008...
