You’ve heard the old saying, “It’s better to be lucky than good.” Well, for many, many years now, the Miami Dolphins have mostly been neither lucky, nor good. When the team has been good enough to make the playoffs, they’ve been demolished in the first round by teams like the Baltimore Ravens and Pittsburgh Steelers. That’s a bit of bad luck.
And then there are other seasons – namely the past two – where they’ve been just good enough... to miss the playoffs by a single game. That’s more bad luck for the Miami Dolphins and their fans.
