Accord Posted April 13, 2005 Share Posted April 13, 2005 OK so maybe the Dolphins won't have a great year in 2005 as Nick Saban tries to rebuild the team. But the NFL didn't do Miami any favors to start 2006. The Dolphins season finale will be on Jan. 1 against the defending Super Bowl champion New England Patriots. Happy New Year? Miami, coming off a dismal 4-12 season, apparently isn't expected to be much a draw by the networks because the Dolphins aren't scheduled to play any prime time games next season -- not on ESPN's Sunday night broadcasts, and not on ABC's Monday Night Football. The Dolphins will open the season against the Denver Broncos then travel to play the New York Jets. After playing the Carolina Panthers on Sept. 25, the club will almost certainly need a break. At least that's what the NFL thinks because Miami gets its bye during the fourth week of the season and then must play 13 consecutive weeks. The Dolphins will have west coast trips to Oakland (Nov. 27) and San Diego (Dec. 11). The Mike Vick experience -- and the Atlanta Falcons -- come to South Florida Nov. 6. And Saban, who coached five seasons at LSU, will have a homecoming of sorts when the Dolphins visit the New Orleans Saints Oct. 30. 2005 Regular Season Schedule Date Opponent Time* TV SEPT. 11 DENVER BRONCOS 1:00 P.M.

The Fins didn't lose by more than 2 scores in any game but once. They lost at Denver by 3, at Seattle by 7, at New England by 14, at Buffalo by 7, to Tennessee by 10, at Cincy by 3, to Arizona by 1 (2 missed XPs), at Baltimore by 7 (a team that was fighting to make the playoffs). Also, being from Chicago, you should know what a real bad team is. Also, the Fins average margin in a loss (including a 27 point beatdown by the Jets) was 6.583 points so to say they're one of the worst teams ever is almost certainly wrong unless you just started watching football in 2004 and you only watched the 2004 Patriots and 2004 Dolphins.

So if he acctually got some blocking, I guess he would be pushing 5 or 6 ypc? :whistle Mind you that 4.0 ypc is the best of his career for a year.

Craig Posted April 13, 2005 Share Posted April 13, 2005 Fritz, you either win or lose, don't give me the "oh, my Dolphins ALMOST won" bullcrap, homerism isn't logical sir. And yes, the Bears suck, I know that already and never said they should be on in primetime, so if you are going to bring them up, at least have some reason to back it up.

I just said they weren't nearly as bad as you made them out to be. If you check the scores youd' know they weren't getting demolished in games like other bad teams. Also, if the 2004 Dolphins were "one of the worst NFL teams i've ever seen (and i'm not kidding) for 15 games last year" what does that make the 1997 Chicago Bears? They were 4-12 also, but they gave up 421 points and only scored 263 points. They had an average loss margin of 9.875 and I highly doubt they lost an RB who put up 3100 yards in 2 years, an offensive line that would get dominated by a college defensive line, and a #2 WR that blows out his knee in training camp. For reference, the Fins scored 275 points and only gave up 354 points. So they scored more and gave up a whole helluva lot less (and we had six pick 6s) than the Bears. So um, you think the Bears of 97 are a better squad than the Fins or am I just crazy? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And the Dolphins offense was a flat out joke, it was an 0-16 offense, just pathetic. Their defense is the only reason they won a game really. And the New England game was a flat out fluke, IIRC the 1997 Bears also beat some good team, so yeah... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While we are on the subject of owning and all, since you seem to always say you "owned" someone, or someone "owned" themself or even a "pwnage". It is pretty apparent the only thing you need to "own" is a grammar book. The Dolphins would be the second "worst" team, not second the worse team in the NFL. Also, if you are saying "you are" and shortening it down, it is "you're" and not "your", that's a different meaning. Furthermore, your argument is worthess, as usual (see your great argument to bench Cabs for further proof of your norm) :thumbdown P.S. before you say type....these things happen so often with you that any excuse would be lame.

Also, they play the Pats tough usually. This past year when we beat them on prime time it was a great, great game and we should be somewhat improved this year too.

Fish Tank Frenzy Posted April 14, 2005 Share Posted April 14, 2005 Cleveland 49ers Cardinals These teams got primetime games ! Are you f***ing kidding me? Craig like always has nothing to say but to be contradicting. When the Dolphins beat the Patriots last year I thought that would've secured them a spot on primetime, atleast one. Also the Dolphins hired Saban. First time in team history, I think, they dont have a primetime game. After going through the schedule I came up with an 8-8 record. Fritz, and anyone else, what do you think the Dolphins record will be? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or maybe mix in a Buff-Mia primetime. Or even Mia-Den, because they have had those before, but none? I was surprised. Because the Dolphins will draw fans anyway. I can't see more than 6 wins, anything more than 6 and I will be very impressed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
