I don't think the Dolphins make the playoffs this year, but I don't see how they're less likely than the Bengals to make it. Dolphins have the 27th hardest schedule in 2021, Bengals the 6th, and they were 5.5 games better last year. Dolphins had the 6th best scoring defense in the league last year.

I guess I just don't see it in Tua.  They don't have as good an offensive line as the Bengals (did I just write that) nor do they have as good a weapons.  Their defense is solid, but they lived on turnovers last year....a lot provided by inexperienced QBs at Jets, Bengals, Jacksonville.  Goff had horrible game against them with 2 fumbles and an INT.  Tua passed for a whopping 93 yards in that one. 

They had a big win against SF, but was largely predicated by their knocking out Garappolo and playing Beatherd.  Fitzmagic also started that game, who is gone.  Tua got knocked out of Raider win, and Fitzy won that one as well.  

So, of those 10 wins, 2 came against the Jets (who should be better), 1 against the Bengals backup QB (nuff said), 1 against Minshew and Jax, and 1 was where Tua was losing and got injured and Fitz replaced him and won the game.  That's 5 of the 1- wins that were against dregs or had Fitzmagic to win it.  

Not saying they only win 5 games, but they will have a much tougher time in the AFC East with the Pats.  Should be interesting.
