Really? 987 days?

So I did some research last night (drunk and tired so I may be off) but unless I'm a total douchebag the last time we were .500 or better was January 1st 2006 when we ended our season with a victory over New England to go 9-7 on the year.

Guys that is 987 days (give or take 5 or 6 due to my aforementioned state of mind)

And I know it would only be 1 - 1, but hell that's a step in the right direction! It's been a long time since the Fins have been out of the doghouse of the NFL. A 1-1 record also would put us in 3rd or even 2nd in the division! (albeit a tie, but who cares!)

Remember January 1st 2006? jeez that was Nick Saban, the streak at the end of the year. Then he followed that up with the disappointment of the 4 - 12 season which was then regrettably followed up by the hiring of the man whose name I refuse to say or type.

Anyways, I just thought that this was an interesting (and extremely depressing - i've already begun hitting the bottle since I unearthed this) tidbit.

Time to turn this thing around and it starts today! Let's go fins!

So on PTI on ESPN they did OVER/UNDER 5 Wins for the Miami Dolphins and Mike Wilbon said over. He predicted a 7-9 Season for the Dolphins.

I can't say that I agree or disagree, because I am still not sure yet. I just think it's great to see someone who is unbiased (at least towards the dolphins Wilbon is) pick the Dolphins to surprise. He actually just got me a little more excited than I was before. Let's see.
