ESPN Gives Dolphins No Respect In 2017

No respect given to the Dolphins by ESPN

ESPN respects Miami as much as the bottom of a barrel

The NFL 2016 Season is in the books.

It ended with the Atlanta Falcons rolling out the red carpet for the New England Patriots comeback with some horrific play calling. It was a train wreak in slow motion. because even though the Patriots were down 3 scores, most fans had the uneasy feeling that a comeback was coming.

Now, it’s all about 2017.

ESPN has already released their 2017 power rankings, and unsurprisingly, the Dolphins get no respect.

Miami was given a rank of 21^st in power rating — the bottom third of the entire league.

I say unsurprising because ESPN (among many others) constantly disrespects the Dolphins, only showing respect to the same handful of “darlings” each season.

However, based on the Dolphins winning double digit games last season, making the playoffs, and having a young team, you’d think the Real Bookies like pay per head bookie service betting odds would wager that Miami should be a decent team next year.

Think again.

Even though the Dolphins seemed to have turned the corner under the guidance of Coach Adam Gase, ESPN isn’t buying it.

It appears Miami will need to have to string together several successful seasons to get respect

I get some of the disrespect in years past. The Dolphins have been mediocre at best in recent years. But, the Dolphins are not even being ranked with teams that had a .500 percent record. Instead, they are tossed to the bottom of the barrel with teams that are all sub .500 percent records.

ESPN just gave Miami bulletin board material they can shove down their throats…if they beat their low expectations.

That’s what it’s going to come down to — again: proving the naysayers wrong by winning.

If Miami want to be respected they need to make the Playoffs and win a game. Plain and simple.

The Dolphins showed last year that they could overcome the doubters and haters.

But, last year is last year. And right now, last year means doodly-squat to the 2017 season.

The Dolphins have some very nice pieces in place. But, they have a lot of work to do, if they want to shatter expectations, once again.

Miami has the right Head Coach. But, can Mike Tannenbaum and the rest of the Front Office prove to be Gase’s equal? If this off-season does end up successful, there’s no reason not to think that Miami can’t once again be in the playoff hunt next year. But, as with changing the expectations, Tannenbaum must prove it. What are the rest of the Miami Dolphins news fans thoughts about ESPN’s 21^st ranking for the Dolphins 2017 season?
