Final week, I highlighted that whereas our Miami Dolphins have had lengthy stretches of success previously, the final couple of many years have been fairly bleak, particularly in the case of successful the AFC East. I then requested the next question-
With the Patriots nonetheless down, the Jets being the Jets, and Buffalo seemingly within the midst of some type of short-term rebuild, is that this the season that the Dolphins return to the highest of the mountain within the AFC East? If not the Dolphins, then who do you see taking the division and why? Moreover, in what order do you see every of the AFC East 4 groups ending the 2024 season?
Under are a few of your ideas and answers-
Call_for_the_Priest’77 sees the Dolphins successful the division if they’ve their squads well-prepared by the point week one comes round.
I feel we win the division if we first ‘win’ the offseason. This doesn’t necessitate a clear sweep of the preseason video games or imply we make the perfect participant personnel strikes out of anyone. Removed from it. What I imply is that we’ve our squads the perfect ready for fulfillment proper out of the gate!
Final yr we completed the preseason with a loss to Jacksonville (paradoxically our RS week #1 opponent in 2024) attributable to horrific protection. I mentioned on the time this was a nasty omen and certain sufficient we adopted that sport with one other defensive embarrassment in opposition to the Chargers for which we fortunately escaped with a win. Certain Fangio and his system have been new however that was by no means meant to excuse these sort of performances. Lord is aware of we will’t afford them now both with Weaver coming in new.
Defeating Buffalo twice this yr could be such a boon to our divisional probabilities. Getting Buffalo early (week #2) will probably be an unlimited alternative to put the primary half of this basis. And little doubt, the early a part of our schedule will probably be a great time to replenish on some Autumn insurance coverage in opposition to one or two robust December losses. Getting out of the gate quick and successfully is the way in which to do that. And the way in which to blast off the mark is to get individuals prepared throughout the summer season.
Dolfan88 has the Dolphins lastly breaking via this coming season.
Fins
Payments
jests

Miami7 has Miami successful a tiebreaker over the Jets!
I’m gonna go forward & go WAAAAY out on that limb the Dolphins appear so intent on snappin’ off prematurely EVERY yr and say

finfanfromsiam believes that till somebody proves in any other case, the Payments will nonetheless rule the division.

i really consider the east is huge open and it’ll come right down to that final sport once more!
SlayerNation1 sees Miami lastly getting all of it collectively and rising to the highest whereas others fall behind and crumble.
Jets have the within monitor attributable to their third place schedule. They are going to crumble beneath their very own hype, Hackett gained’t make till Halloween as A-Rod turns turns the group right into a round firing squad.
That is the breakthrough yr for Miami. The Protection will probably be flying round and galvanized. McD will come into his personal. Tua making one other offseason of enhancements, get the contract distraction out of the way in which.
MIA, BUF, NYJ,NE
jmworacle is so constructive!
We would as nicely name the season off and simply give rhe Jets the Lombardi Trophy.
phinette agrees with Clark!
It’s the Payments till somebody dethrones them. We now have to discover a solution to win the massive video games.
cyberflea says ditto!
Like others have mentioned…it’s Buffalo’s division till somebody dethrones them. It’s Buffalo, Miami and Jets all having a shot on the division and the Patsies final. The article says that the Jets being the Jets, nonetheless they are going to be no push over with Rodgers again and one of many higher defenses within the league.
TheRoo1 lays out a number of situations.
With Diggs gone, Make Josh play hero ball, and beat the stuffing out of him each play.
ARod will possible falter and Jest will probably be Jest.
Brett Favre couldnt get them previous 9-7
Why anticipate extra out of Rodgers? When final yr he solely lasted 3 performs.
Many people see the Dolphins lastly stepping up and taking the division, with others saying that it’s the Invoice’s division till another person steps up and proves in any other case. Thanks to each certainly one of you who took the time to take part and reply our questions of the day. We are going to return tomorrow night with the VOTW put up.
