This is my 10th post in my NFL in detail post series this September. Even though the Dolphins defeated the Patriots on week 1, the Pats were not playing their max that day and lost in that matter. Defense on Miami was good a couple of years ago, but how much can they really do now? Definetly not as much as they have done in the past, but offense has really improved.
Although they were better off with Brandon Marshall in 2011, over the past 2 years they picked up Ryan Tannehill, Knoshown Moreno and Lamar Miller. They also dropped Brandon Marshall. So, the offense might actually be productive this season, and they really showed it in a 33-20 victory over the Patriots to kick off the 2014-15 season. My prediction for the Dolphins is that they will be tied for 2nd in the AFC East, with an 8-8 record being ranked 23 overall. The Dolphins defense definitely has taken a step downward, but the offense got upgraded and may have a decent season.
