During the last two seasons, the Miami Dolphins were in position to not only finish with a winning record, but also make their way into the playoffs. However, the Dolphins stumbled down the stretch both years and finished at 8-8. The last two years were both exciting and agonizing for Dolphins fans everywhere. The Dolphins would make waves by being competitive or outright winning games people thought they would lose and then they would end up losing games that they should have won. On paper, this season’s schedule offers the Dolphins a good chance to make the playoffs after a good offseason.
