​This past week, I highlighted the media’s take on the upcoming season, record-wise, for our Miami Dolphins. The overall consensus in the media seems to run between 2 and 5 wins, with the over/under sitting around 4.5 wins. I then asked the following question:What do you see as a realistic record for the 2026-2027 Miami Dolphins? Is your take more optimistic than the national media’s? If so, what’s the reason for this, in your opinion (ignorance, bias, etc.)?Below are some of your thoughts and answers-AdvertisementAdvertisementAdvertisementUpInPensacola says it will be 5 to 8 wins and has some questions for you, Giants fans.5 to 8 wins.Hey everyone, I have a question for any NYG followers out there.When Harbaugh departed from Baltimore, people on Phinsider threads were begging to hire him in Miami.How did JohnHarbaugh’s draft choices go over in NY, and what are their projections for the G Men this season? How do Harbaugh’s picks and expectations compare to JES thus far?Phins1972 says don’t focus on the record for a rebuild in year one.Any fan that is focused on the number of wins that the team will have should probably take the year off and find another Sunday activity. All signs point to an ugly year with a lot of ugly play and an ugly record. Best things to focus on are, how do the rookies, 2nd year players look, can Hafley coach, and keep an eye on which college QB looks the part of a franchise player.PA phinphan says it’s as low as 5 wins and optimistically as high as 9 wins.If I were a betting man, I’d take the over. 5 wins at the least 9 at the most. If the defense picks up the defensive scheme has in mind and Achane stays healthy, winning close games is a realistic possibility. The ideal number would be 20.Ksphinfan believes that nothing will change.Same as it ever wasSame as it ever wasTalking Headssdphinsfan believes it’s going to be between 3 and 6 wins, depending on how well the coaching staff does.If Proctor and Savi are solid, and some of the young guys on Defense come along fairly quickly, this team, for all of it warts, is going to be a tough out for anybody. If Haf is better than MM with game operation, etc, this team could win a couple of extra games on that alone. I can believe a scenario where this team wins 3-4 games. I can believe a scenario where we win 5-6 games. And if the stars fully align, they could push for a winning season. Thing is, nobody knows…We’ve got a new staff, a bunch of new (and young) players, and we haven’t had training camp yet.TheRoo1 seems skeptical of the whole thing.The stars would have align perfectly for our untried DB’s, a wizard with medicinal powers would have to reside in AJ’s back pocket, and Willis would have to don his cape and become the “M an of steel”, but yeah, a winning season could happen. Oh yeah,,, forgot the other thing.JUK knows that record is a poor metric of how good a roster is across the board and that this team is still more solid in certain areas
