Season Record Prediction-2010

[bsfins]

I'm gonna go all rosey optimistic....with 9-7....

My major concerns....
1.) Special teams coverage,the little I've seen in preseason...Ohhh yucky,yuck,yuck....
2.) I don't think we're gonna be able to be a balanced enough offense,multitude of reasons...(Henning the O-Coordinator,O-line gelling)**
3.) Defense being pounded by the run,and wearing out...

**For me it's not the depth of the O-line,because after Long,and Carey,the drop off in talent is big.To me there is no difference between the three that start,and the guy's on the bench,but we need them to work together,and become one unit....

at the beginning of summer, I was really confident at 11-5, maybe 12-4 if things fell into place.  but, after viewing the last couple of weeks of pre-season games and the recent trials and tribulations of the team, I'm thinking more along the lines of 9-7, maybe 10-6.

the fact that our secondary has not stepped up as much as I had anticipated bothers me.  I'm glad jason allen is getting a shot (the man has been hammered ever since being drafted in the 1st round), but with sean smith failing expectations, that's not good.  I think allen will play hard, just don't think he'll be a force back there.

the offensive woes the team has experienced doesn't bother me as much as injury to jake long does.  I hope that is not a lingering issue for the season.  I still see the Phins with a nice running game complimented by the addition of marshall on the outside.  more weapons for henne.

the special teams is definitely a glaring issue.  we'll see if they turn it around.

finally, the announcement by Parcells & Co. a couple of days ago.  huh??  this team & front office has some of the worst timing I've ever seen with regards to announcements & sayings.  they need to hire a speech writer from hollywood.  at least give the "appearance" of looking like you know what you're doing.

finally, as I tell me 11yr old boy every year, I will ALWAYS be a Dolphins fan no matter what happens or how they play.  like the captain of a sinking ship, I will be with them to the very end.

Go Phins!!!!!!!!!

in the offseason i picked 12-4 .. i'm going to have to revise that estimate now after seeing the pre-season games and how our opposition shakes up

i'm gonna change my prediction to 13-3

that is all

I'm thinking more along the lines of 9-7, maybe 10-6.

Thanks for sharing your inner thoughts.  We are all very touched and moved.

But that ain't how we play the game. Pick a final end of season record, between now and before the kick off on Sunday, not  a range.  The we lock up the thread until the end of the season and see if anyone got it right or who got the closest.

Can someone whip out a lock for this thread in a little bit.....

[dolfan13]

i see 8-8 for this season on the horizon...

[USO-ORLANDO]

Can someone whip out a lock for this thread in a little bit.....

I agree!!!!!!

[BigDaddyFin]

12-4.  If they can get to the Chicago game at 6-3 they can win 6 of the last 7 games on the schedule.

Lock Please!   And in my humble opinion, no votes cast after kickoff time yesterday should be taken into consideration.

Not a big deal, but my prediction for this year was actually 8-8, not 7-9.    See page 2 of this thread.
