It's a shame that could never happen. They could raise $100M+ and donate it to charity. In a year like this one, if Trevor Lawrence lives up to the hype, and if Miami lives up to the anti-hype, I actually would like to see that. Most years, it'd be an absolute slaughter. This season, it might be as close as a regular whipping. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rockice_8 Posted September 19, 2019 Share Posted September 19, 2019 MIA currently probably has the best team ever (their undefeated championship team) and at this rate might have the worst team ever soon enough too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That 14-0 team was not one of the best 25 NFL teams. Their schedule was pathetic 1-13 Oilers 3-11 Patriots 3-11 Patriots 4-9-1 Bills 4-9-1 Bills 4-9-1 Chargers 4-9-1 Cardinals 5-9 Colts 5-9 Colts 7-7 Jets 7-7 Jets 7-7 Vikings 8-6 Giants 8-6 Chiefs That's a strength of schedule of 70-122-4 (.367) 70-108-4 not counting playing the Dolphins (.396) Sure they won some close games against good playoff competition but that 14-0 regular is the most overrated anything in Sports. They outscored their playoff opponents 55-38 The Steelers lost 3 games that year because they split with the 8-6 Bengals, they split with the 10-4 Browns, and they lost to the 10-4 Cowboys. they also beat the 10-3-1 Raiders The Steelers were .500 vs 10 win teams just like the Dolphins (0-0) The Dolphins deserved the 1972 Season Lombardi Trophy, to be the answer of a trivia question, and little else.

SkippyX Posted September 20, 2019 Share Posted September 20, 2019 (edited) The 12-2 Dolphins of the next season faced the following teams: 10-4 Cowboys 10-4 Steelers 9-4-1 Raiders 9-5 Bills 9-5 Bills 7-5-2 Browns 6-7-1 Lions 5-9 Patriots 5-9 Patriots 5-9 SF 49ers 4-10 Jets 4-10 Jets 4-10 Colts 4-10 Colts That's a strength of schedule of 91-101-4 (.474) 89-89-4 not counting playing the Dolphins (.500) The Dolphins were 2-0 against 10 win teams. They also demolished their playoff opponents by a combined score of 85-33 winning by 17, 17 and 18 points. The 1973 Dolphins were clearly superior to the 1972 Dolphins.

RuskieTitan Posted September 20, 2019 Share Posted September 20, 2019 They'd probably still beat the Titans. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theJ Posted September 20, 2019 Share Posted September 20, 2019 They're not going winless. They have BUF x2 (i know they're 2-0, but really now), Pitt w/o Roethlisberger, NYJ x2, NYG and CIN. They're going to snake some wins somewhere. Probably 1 or 2 of them. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Usually around week 3 or 4, there's a flip in what we saw weeks 1/2 and really unpredictable things start to happen. Teams that showed badly all of the sudden play well. Teams that played great have poor showings. I can't predict when or against whom, but there's going to be a weird week and the Dolphins will be competitive. Have faith.

Bolts223 Posted September 30, 2019 Author Share Posted September 30, 2019 So revisiting this: - Dolphins are now 0-4 with a -137 PD differential. - They've lost each game by at least 20. Three of which at home. - That being said, all 4 opponents they have faced were playoff teams last year and all are at least in contention to make it again this season. Do we think this team is still on pace to go 0-16 and be remembered as possibly the WOAT team? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
