Miami ALMOST going winless?
or
New England trying to go undefeated?

Answer 1

Everyone new New England was going to be good with the additions they got in the off season. New England making an un-defeated run is no where near as surprising as Miami waiting until their 14th game to finally barley win one.

Crack Cat while occasionally funny is the most annoying in this section.

Answer 2

Well New England was expected to be very successful, albeit not 16-0. Most people would've told you anything above 13-3 would be too generous, because New England lost quite a few defensively (which is why they made a goal to sign so many receivers, to be able to compete by blowing everybody out). However, 0-13 is something you just don't see every year. Miami, though, has been in a LOT of close games. After 0-6, virtually every game they played in was very close. Miami was just unable to close out games.

When it comes down to it, I would've said it would be more likely to see New England 14-0 than to see Miami 0-13. The Pats usually slip up against an AFC East opponent, though that hasn't happened at all this year. Miami's had the talent to win games, with the ability to close games worse than even the NYJ...

Answer 3

Miami Dolphins

Answer 4

Miami being almost winless. With a wide receiver set like they have, Tom Brady and Belicheater...you knew they were going to have an amazing year. What is surprising is how the Dolphins have only gotten 1 year all year. What's even worse is that most of their games are close so they give you hope and then dash your dreams. :)

Answer 5

I think The patriots going 14-0 is more surprising, because anytime a team goes undefeated this late in the season, it is unexpected. The Dolphins looked like they had a shot at a decent season coming in this year with the addition of Trent Green who has always been a good QB in KC, but with the injuries to Ronnie Brown and the loss of guys like Sammy Morris and Wes Welker to the Pats, they were missing depth on offense, and that D is aging, even though Jason Taylor is still a freak at DE, and deservedly got the probowl selection.

Answer 6

It has to be New England. There have been other teams who have gone winless or with just one win. It's very common. Imagine Patriots were on that list once and so were the Colts more then once.

But going 14-0 has only been done one other time 35 years ago.
And the winner is Austin N. Broken record.

Answer 7

I would say Miami being almost going winless. A really sad threat against a 14-0 team.

Answer 8

To go winless I think it's more surprising but it has not happened...neither it will this season....So I am a little surprise that the Pats are still undefeated but I still do not the will end the season that way...I am pretty sure they WILL lose in the playoff.

And Austin N is by far the most annoying of all...And I am a USC fan!!!!! I can only imagine how annoying it has to be for the rest of you!!!!

Answer 9

The 1-13 Dolphins shocked me by not going winless...

Answer 10

The patriots 14-0 streak is not record breaking for them. The PATS have the best team ever this year, and don’t forget that they had a 22 game winning streak. Its no surprise at all. As for the Dolphins being with only one measly win, that too is no surprise. I think this is a trick question.
