Why are the Lions so far up the rankings?

How is this possible?

I knew the defense had major issues but I can't say I expected the Ravens to blow up like they did. Can't wait to see what the Pats can do against the soft core of the Dolphins defense...

Same thing they did week 2, Bill knows the Dolphins this isn't news to him. But without Gronk and Amandola and their terrible defense I think we still have a chance. Plus if Bill calls a terrible game like last year out chances are even better.

If the Pats need that game to lock up the 1 seed the Dolphins will get crushed. You know it's true. :(

They needed that last year...and losing home field advantage probably cost them another trip to the SB (You're welcome Broncos).

I think Dolphins will probably lose against Ari, split with Jets/Bills and beat Pats who will probably have nothing to play for by then.

At 9-7 or even 8-8 I'd say we had a pretty good year all things considered, I expected a 5 win team.

Trust me I remember week 17 from last year very well. :) I can't see that happeneing two years in a row though, sadly. The Pats have the perfect offense to kill the Dolphins just like the Ravens did and just like they did in week 2. Never say never but if I was a betting man...

Beginning of the year I might have been with you about 8-8. I can't say the same after 7-4, though. 1-4 down the stretch would be pretty disappointing, even with the issues this roster has. No matter what I'm happy about Gase and I hope he's around for awhile.

lolol

Damn I hope the Dark Souls trilogy on the Switch rumor is true. Even just Dark Souls 1 portable would be amazing

I remember when game companies were criticized for "rehashing" game series. Now they just flat out release the same games verbatim and nobody cares. Wow.

Some people care. From a making money point of view, the average gamer did not play a lot of games when they came out, or people rebuy them. Hence, why classics like FF 7 are on a ton of platforms. This logic will always hold true. Only a minority will complain as they are the fanatics. The ones who play it all (or just like to hate 😆).

If it does come out for Nintendo I doubt it will sell well. There has hardly been any 3rd party games that have sold well on Nintendo platforms. Mario and other Nintendo games sell well on Nintendo's platforms only, when you look at the history and stats.

Well we are 3-0 against them at home last three years....but yeah deep down I know you can never bet against the cheats.

I'm just enjoying the ride for now, I think Gase is going to turn us around we just need a solid defensive draft and some quality (not splashy...) FA signings. This team is still really young too.

I kind of question the idea that the team is young, though. Sure, if you look at an average across the roster or just look at "number of players age x, y, z" they are young, but what about the real meat of the roster? In particular the defense is an issue. Next year Wake will be 35, Reshad will be 29, and Suh will be 30. Those guys are coming out of their prime (not to mention the injury history) and the rest of the defense is unproven at best, bad at worst.

Defense needs to be a major focus for this team for the next two or three drafts and they have to hit on some stars to have a chance of becoming relevant.

I guess mostly offense since those three you named on defense are our only good players lol,

Jay
Tannehill
Parker
Stills
Landry
Tunsil
James
Carroo
Williams
Grant
Drake
Gray

I'd bet they all make the roster next year, with Tannehill being the oldest at 28 and Pouncey not included because he's always injured.

On Defense under 26 that will probably be on roster next year....

Alonso
Howard
Fede
Hull
Lippett
Thomas
Aikens

Everyone else is replaceable or is "old"

Yeah offense is in pretty good shape if they can just add some OL depth. Defense has a few guys that could develop into solid players like Howard and Lippett but they are going to need a lot more... Next draft has to focus on LB, DE, secondary.

Yeah absolutely, I like how Hull played hopefully he's someone that develops. Same with Fede. Howard should be back soon and he's a really good tackler already just needs to work on the rest of his game but I think he'll be a solid corner. They need to move Alonso to WLB and get a real MLB, so we'll see how it goes but this team should be stronger next year, they really need to focus on depth pretty much everywhere though, the roster is so thin.
