Typical lazy, thoughtless analysis.
Miami closed out 2005 with 6 wins. Sounds great, until you look at who they beat:
Oakland (4-12)
Buffalo (5-11)
San Diego (9-7)
New York Jets (4-12)
Tennessee (4-12)
and New England.
Miami lost to:
Cleveland (6-10)
Atlanta (8-8)
The Dolphins had quality wins against Carolina and Denver and maybe San Diego, though the Chargers "Marty'd" that one away. I remember watching it. I don't include their win over us in Week 17 because it was a game we more or less conceded before kickoff. It was a glorified scrimmage.
So this optimism is based on
1-The 6 game win streak which is dubious at best.
2-The signing of Culpepper who I feel will probably have a good year, but is less than a year removed from a catastrophic knee injury and a 6 TD 12 INT injury shortened season. For those that don't remember, Culpepper was ABYSMAL before he got hurt.
