I don't think that Miami will even make the playoffs this year, not because we aren't going to be good, but because we lack some key positions (QB and DB) that will take more than a year to groom.
Agreed, but more than that, we overachieved this year. We were a sub-.500 team that played above their potential. If we play like we're supposed to, we may get 8 wins, while still being a better team, overall.
With all the usual disclaimers about it being WAY too early to say much with any degree of certainty, it looks like our division will be pretty weak this coming season (again) and our schedule, overall, looks somewhat easier than last season.
I seriously doubt we'll make a push for the conference title, but a Wild Card wouldn't surprise me at this stage.
