Note the following:

1. In both of our wins, we led at halftime.
2. We had six close losses, of which 4 occurred in Week 9 or later.
3. Every one of the six close losses was very winnable. Very, very winnable. In fact, all were excruciating losses.
4. We led or were tied at halftime in 5 of the 6 close losses.
5. We lost one boring game by 10, and there is nothing of interest there other than we were only down by 3 at halftime.
6. We got blown out in five games, 4 of which occurred before Week 7. In all cases but one, we were getting blown out at halftime, though the Buffalo game was close until the last couple of minutes of the first half.

Looking at this, one realizes how close we could be to 8-6 right now. However, the odds of being better than that are low, and in actuality the odds of being 2-12 are 100 percent.

you know the dolphins lost a lot of close games last year. I believe they cleaned house and had a solid offseason...hmmm what do you know they're 9-5

You could have saved yourself alot of time by simply saying "you know we suck"

3. Every one of the six close losses was very winnable. Very, very winnable. In fact, all were excruciating losses.
