Dolphins are without a doubt the best team in the AFCE. Most potent O and D in there divison for sure, no one comes close. I say they make it to atleast 2nd round. What are your thoughts???
They have a chance. Idk if they will, but I wont doubt the Dolphins. If any I would want the Dolphins to win NFCE because I hate just about every team in that division. So if its all said and done...go Dolphins?
Hell yes, go Dolphins! But we can't be too quick to judge. We have a TON of new players all over the team, especially on defense. There's no telling how long it'll take us to gel. We also have a brand new QB in Daunte Culpepper that may not even be ready for the start of the season, which will end up with us having Joey Harrington as our starting QB in the meantime. And don't forget we still have the former champion, New England Patriots in our division. However, I do like our chances this season. If Culpepper ends up having a nice recovery and can have another season like he did in '04 our offense will be deadly with Ronnie Brown who I hear is looking better than ever entering his sophmore season, our upgraded offensive-line, which has caused us many problems in the past, and of course the returning of Pro-Bowl WR Chris Chambers along with his talented TE Randy McMichael. Also I'm expecting a lot out our defense. Some may think we are getting old with Jason Taylor and Zach Thomas getting deeper into their 30s, but we also have a good amount of young talent waiting to take over. Including Channing Crowder at LB who was runner up to Shawn Merriman as defensive ROY, Travis Daniels another selection in last year's draft who was a real surprise and able to make an early impact, holding down the starting CB position nicely. And now our 1st round pick of this year Jason Allen at safety. Then there's the slew of offseaon pickups one of which including Will Allen, who IMO is an upgrade of Sam Madison who's lost a few steps the last couple seasons. It's all really just a matter of how we can gel together as a team with all the new faces and most importantly quarter-back, but I have a lot of confidence in Nick Saban seeing as what he did with us last season, leading us to six consecutive wins to finishing off the season, and drafting extremely well over the last two drafts. Nevertheless it should be a very exciting season ahead of us and I'm looking foward to the challenge of playing the superbowl champ Pittsburgh Steelers to really test our strength on opening day.
The Dolphins havent even made the playoffs in years, and now we're saying they're going to dethrown a dynasty for the AFC east title, the Patriots may have had one bad year but that is still their division and will be for some time.

It's very possible the Dolphins could take the AFC East this year. Never said they will, but it's very possible. Dolphins may not have made the playoffs in a few years, but we now have a real QB and our offense is finally starting to reach the level of our defense. Plus, we have a new coach that actually knows what he's doing and already has a year under his belt, leading the team to six straight wins to end the season.
I'm not sure if the Dolphins can take it from the Pats but it will certainly come down to those 2 teams, I agree the Dolphins do have a complete team with a good offense and defense but our secondary isnt very good and even though he is doing good in practice, with his knee injury Culpepper is still a question mark. However, if Culpepper plays like he did a few years ago, I say yes, the Dolphins will win the AFC East

With all of our FA signings, the drafting of Jason Allen, and Will Poole coming back from injury we'll have a very deep and solid secondary this season. If there's anywhere we have weak point on defense I'd say it's at LineBacker.

The pats are falling apart while the fins are putting together a SB caliber team. They have a top 10 O and a great D that has been upgraded. And the coaching for the fins is untouchable by any team.
Go Jets! LOL I know its not happenin for the Jets but I'll be damned if the Dolphins win the AFC East
Go Fins! THier my pick to win the AFC East too. The Pats are clearly the favorite, but I wouldn't count out the Fins yet. Too bad Ricky had to be an indiot again and F*ck them over. I am ashamed he used to be one of my favorite atheltes.

Herm was a stud...
If the Fins take the East, I wont be surprised. But I know Tom Brady aint having any of that sh*t. Pats find a way to win, and have a real favorable schedule. I dont want to pick the Pats, because the Fins really scare me, solid on both sides of the ball, real good team, but with the Pats recent success, its hard for me to predict against them until they dont win the division.
