Sometimes all a team needs is a change in leadership to kick-start their success. A change in direction, someone to drop the hammer, to accept nothing less than the best from everyone in the organization. The Dolphins went after that change last off-season, bringing Nick Saban out of the college ranks to clean up the mess left by Dave Wannstedt. Saban brought a new attitude to the Dolphins. A change in culture. There would be no excuses. No excuses for losing. No excuses for playing poorly, no excuses for being late to a meeting. Saban was creating a winning attitude. The Dolphins were not going to think they could win, they were going to believe they could win. With a new attitude success came quickly, as the Dolphons won their last 6 games to finish at 9-7, narrowly missing the playoffs. Expectations run high in Miami, and the re-building continues with the arrival of Quarterback Daunte Culpepper. The Dolphins will look to him to provide the leadership to get them to the next step. Will success come equally as swift for the Dolphins?

I've heard Saban as being one of the worst coaches in the league when it comes to treatment of the media. Worse than Coughlin, Belichick and even Mangini....wow. Anyway, the Dolphins are a popular team nowadays when it comes to picking potential playoff teams. They surely have the talent on both sides of the ball and the coaching to do well. They should compete with the Pats for the division, without a doubt.

you left a match-up with the Pats off your schedule

and since you said 11-5 and youre only showing 10 wins id say you expect a late season win with NE

i just cant agree with you there, i know the game is in Miami so snow wont be a factor but i just dont see Miami winning

Hard to make that assumption bro...

I can see them winning, if all of right pieces fall into place....and injuries aren't a factor...

Nobody may fear the Phins defense anymore....but they will have to give some respect to their offense...

Just look at how strong they finished the season last year. They're a much better team now....

Who knows, only time will tell! hehe

You are right on both accounts....

There is a reason I have the Dolphins winning that matchup that will become clear soon.

I am updating my site now..

Thanks for the heads-up!
