Are the Dolphins Overrated

[exploited17]

This seems like everyones new it team to win or make the SB
Last year they were 2-6 vs playoff teams and 4-6 vs winning teams.
They beat 3 god awful trash bags this year and 1-1 vs what appears to be good teams including a 28 point loss to Buffalo.

I am still not a fan. Good team but not a fan. They may run off a good record. I expect 12-5 or so but ultimately when they face the best of the best they won't get it done. I expect 1 win at most in the playoffs.
I could be wrong but just my opinion
Anyone else think they are a bit overrated? I think that 70 they put up is in peoples minds.

 

[CHOPTALK]

They have a lot of injuries

 

[Willie99]

They're very flashy, the most speed at skill positions, can win on any given Sunday if everything is clicking

But, they can and do have stinkers, and can be beat

 

[Bozzie]

Tua second favorite for comeback player..media loves Miami and cool geeky coach...

 

[Avocado33]

They're good but they gotta beat some good teams before they are in that top tier

 

[Seymour]

Watch them extensively - offense is great however Tua still has panic mode in him - SFs defense would expose him - any big time pass rush would cause him a problem - I was at the Bills game - Miami could not win in Buffalo or KC in a big game - Miami has a huge home field advantage early in the season due to the unbearable heat - opponents sit in the sun and they are in the shade - they also practice in it - real feel is 105 today - the defense is suspect though they’re playing without Philips who is their best pass rusher - Miami definitely one of the best teams but I would say the cannot win with SB - only chance would be home field throughout the playoffs - but it’s the best offense in the NFL since the Rams

 

[CHOPTALK]

Which Rams team do you speak of ?

 

[ca$hmoney]

Greatest show on turf…currently outpacing them after 5 weeks. Most yards in history. As a Fins fan, they need to be healthy, especially at oline. Defense has the skill players but are struggling to adapt to Fangio’s defense. They aren’t used to winning, like the elite teams SF, KC. Let’s see how they do vs Philly next week.

Vegas thinks they are better than Philly
Eagles are -2

 

[Greenbacks]

No

 

[raiders72]

Tua going to get MVP but it should be Hill or the whole Mia OL. Buf only team that knocked Tua down more than once.

Young took 4 sacks and 9 hits today.
Tua took 0 sacks and 1 hit.
Hill 6 rec, 163 yds, 1 TD, 27.2 avg.

pk on a neutral field.

They probably are better than Philly

That said probably gonna pick Philly in this spot

 

[exploited17]

Eagles now only -1

 

[Avocado33]

It’s an interesting match up

Just wonder if Miami offensive line holds up against Philly front.

If they do, Tua is going to carve them up

Don’t love Miami defense in this spot though

Interesting game. Buff leads in sack percentage but some of the teams that Miami has played are bad at creating pressure.

Sack percentage rank:
Buf 1
LAC 5
Panthers 16
Den 20
NE 25
Giants 32

Philly 14
-----------------------------------------------
QB rating against:
Buf 6
NE 20
Giants 23
Panthers 25
Chargers 26
Giants 32

Philly 24

Although Mia is partly responsible for the ratings of the teams they played.

And the opposite is true…

The Philly secondary is hurting…they better get a good pass rush…

I feel like they are indeed overrated....They look like the type of team that beats up on bad teams but their defense is not good enough to compete with the top of the league. We will see how that plays out going forward.

The top of the league is flawed enough to where I have to disagree.

It's flawed for sure, but their offense can make up for that to some level.

I think right now they are the best team in the division at least.

I'm still sticking with Buffalo. Buffalo took away Tua's first read and had a man up top to double Hill. Held him to 1 reception. Miami couldn't handle the pressure that Buf put on Tua. Buffalo can score on Miami. Game 2 will determine the division.

SF, Cle, KC (Chris Jones) and Buf are the only 4 teams that can keep Mia in check. Other teams don't matchup well.
