How many games do you think we will win next year?

Maximum of 3 barring some incredible free agent acquisitions and a very solid draft. This team simply does not have much talent on it, and the quarterback position is STILL a question, because we have no idea what Beck's fate is.

Agreed 100%.:ffic:

I think its to early to tell. This poll would probably be more accurate when training camp starts. Its possible to trade down and add picks , maybe trade JT , Pick up FA's so its impossible to make a call at this time.

Bump thread after draft :D

hopefully 6-10

I'll let you know after the draft

I have to agree with Marino. His New Year prediction was that the Dolphins would win twice as many games as this year. Anything after that would be great. :lol:

I thought we would be about 8-8 this past year.

6-10 would be a nice improvement. :thumbup:

I think we win at least 5 games next season.

We should have won at least 4 games THIS season.

If Saban was coaching us, or Wansteadt were coaching the EXACT same personal they would have shown all of the casual fans just how much Cam was in over his head...

Our team wasn't very good, but we had enough players to win at least half of those games that we lost by less than 6 points.

Let's at least wait until we see who we pick up in the draft and FA before we predict anything.

Including playoffs?

Totally agree. Even if we kept out current roster, we are a 3-5 win team right now w/ decent coaching. W/ a bit of luck in FA and the draft (and a really good coaching staff) we should start to see real improvement toward the end of next year. Probably look a bit rough coming out of the gate but steady improvement toward the end....a 6 win or more season.

My guess is with a solid draft, and key free agent signings we will win 6-7 games next season.

I always aim for the top. Super Bowl alll the way. The Tuna knows.

I'm going with 7-8

Based on nothing but sheer optimism and the fact that we apparently have a really easy schedule next year.

This is more difficult than I thought because we lost like 6 games by 3 pts. New coaching can also change that considering we lost some games because of poor play calling and time management. Let's not forget the key additions to offense and defense and ST this offseason. I think we'll be fine next year ... with a little bit of luck.

Impossible to say when you don't know whom 25-30 guys will be on the team. By the end of thi year, we had 31 different players in our last game this year than we had the year prior (heard that on the radio broadcast). Expect that total to be around that high if not higher next year.

I'll bet you one thing.....our players will be playing with a lot more heart and passion than we saw this year. That alone is probably worth 3 or 4 more wins.

all depends on how quickly the team buys into the new coaching staff.

Look,you imposter,I have no idea who you are. I demand to know what you`ve done to our Desides.

I said 4-12 for this year to compensate for a rookie head coach. I say 4-12 for next year. We were able to hang with playoff teams, but coaching cost us. Sparano will still make rookie mistakes, but I see improvement.

if our players can stay healthy i think we will be atleast a 8-8 team

Shouldn't we really wait and see who the next coach is gonna be first? Of course i voted 6-10.

Miami will struggle for a couple more seasons. Unless they pull off some of the best FA & DRAFT selections this decade. That is not so bad...I have faith that the new captain will get us back on track. The upcoming draft & free agency should bring us at least 3-4 more wins. Better coaching and gameplans should bring us 3-4 wins...so even them out and we should win about 6+ games if they have the normal hit and miss approach. If they have a great run with the draft & fa...then Miami may be battling for .500 by seasons end.

GO PHINS!!!

6 to 8 seems right. I believe the turnaround over the last ten years for teams finishing worst in league is +6 games which would put us at 7. Add a healthy Brown, new influx of talent and that seems like a reasonable guess. Of course luck, injuries and funny ball bounces will determine the fianl record but even if we did nothing and went into the next season with the same but healthy squad we would probably finish wioth 4 or 5 wins. Of course Parcells will gobble up all the accolades thrown at him for finishing better. LOL
