In that 2013 season fans were jumping up and down at what would be a 3-0 start in Joe Philbin’s second NFL season as a head coach. The Miami Dolphins looked good and it appeared that a corner had been turned. They finished the season 8-8. Ask Adam Gase and he will tell you that is unacceptable.
Dolphins fans have every reason to cheer especially after the doom and gloom predictions of a five win at best season. The Dolphins are three games from matching those predictions but don’t start buying your playoff tickets just yet.
While the Dolphins have risen from the depths of NFL power rankings from 31 or 32 to 15 or 17 this week every one of those “experts” will tell you that it’s because they played the Titans and the Jets.
