Are the Dolphins Overrated

[SheriffJoe]

They are overrated because they're so one-dimensional, too reliant on ONE player, and DCs worth their salt will shut down that threat or, at very minimum, minimize it. Like in Buffalo earlier this season...not an aberration.

That's why the Dolphins haven't beaten any of the "ranked teams"

Tyreek is now listed as "questionable", which means he's not 100% or won't play.

Also, their starting center is out.

Avo, you're still on the Dolphins BIG? Oof.

That doesn't make them "overrated"

Overrated means they aren't as good as they're perceived to be

And they are perceived by a lot of people to not be any good

So how can they be overrated?

 

[Michelangelo]

I don't think that they are overrated or underrated. I think people simply don't feel they have a good handle on just how good or mediocre they are. They lost to all three "good" teams they played, although none of those losses were in Miami where the Fins enjoy a bigger than normal home field advantage because of the heat that many of their opponents are no longer accustomed to.

Losing that home clunker to Tennessee sure hasn't helped them solidify a solid team rating in the minds of pundits and bettors.

Something that I look at when I'm trying to get a handle on how good or bad a team is is turnover differential. The Fins have hardly distinguished themselves there. -2 ranks them at #20 between the Chargers and the Falcons - hardly illustrious company.

So where should they be rated? They have yet to do anything that should lead us to believe that they are an upper echelon team. They still have a lot to prove.

Yes, and many people like yourself call them "contenders"

I would call that overrated.

Are you mixing them up with the Bills?

Dolphins go as T. Hill goes.

Not today

Are we gonna hear about how the Jets defense is actually bad now?

No, but you might hear about Zach Wilson's first half JoeyB-like performance.

Still Pretenders.

How were Jets +7 this morning???

Yes I’m sure Zach Wilson is the reason Tua is shredding the Jets today without Hill

Goose egg by the O with not a single first down (except on penalties) pretty much tells the story.

Like JoeyB against the Browns (3 points) and Titans (3 points) earlier in the season.

Remember, some had Jets winning their division - another overhyped team.

Had them sucking with or without Rodgers

Jets are garbage. D looks to be regressing and today's performance by the O speaks for itself (4 yds of total offense in the first half).

The worst thing they could do is bring back Rodgers this season or next.

They need to bottom out and draft that stud QB.

Joey B's don't grow on trees

Bills and Doplphins will play for AFC title last game of year.
Bills should beat Chargers and Pats if not they don't deserve to be there anyways.. Dolphins lose to either Cowboys or Ravens if not both,

 

[Avocado33]

Most likely yes

Fuck I shoulda hedged

You can't seriously judge Tua today. The Miami defense won the game from the get go and you could see the Jets weren't even in the game after that first TD. They were going through the motions. Miami wouldn't win a playoff game without Hill.
