Dolphins win the AFC East and coach McDaniels is coach of the year candidate. #FinsUp
he Miami Dolphins head into 2025 riding a wave of uncertainty and questions around head coach Mike McDaniel and his leadership. After two seasons of flashes but not enough finishes, the pressure is mounting for him to prove this roster can take the next step.
Offense
What can’t be questioned is the firepower. Miami still boasts one of the most accurate quarterbacks in the league in Tua Tagovailoa, paired with two of the NFL’s premier wide receivers in Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddle. Add in a top-10 running back, a stellar pass-catching tight end, and a revamped offensive line, and this Dolphins offense is poised to return to its 2023 form — dynamic, balanced, and nearly impossible to match in a track meet.
Defense
The real difference between 2023 and 2025 lies in the front seven. Miami enters the season with one of the league’s best groups: Bradley Chubb, Jaelan Phillips, Chop Robinson, Zach Zeiler, and Matthew Judon all bring proven pass-rush ability, and most of them have 10-sack seasons on their résumé. Under new coordinator Anthony Weaver, expect constant rotations to keep the rush fresh and relentless.
On the back end, the Dolphins upgraded with All-Pro safety Minkah Fitzpatrick, while underrated safeties Ashtyn Davis and Ifeatu Melifonwu give Miami flexibility to roll out three-safety looks and compensate for a thinner cornerback group. At linebacker, Jordan Brooks, Willie Gay Jr., and Tyrel Dodson provide steady play and are hand picked by Weaver who had a stellar season last year.
Schedule Breakdown
AFC East: Sweep the Jets and Patriots, split with the Bills. Lost of excitement around the Jets and Pats but this year, they don't have the firepower or team cohesion to beat the Dolphins. The Dolphins suprise the Bills and splite the series
NFC South: Take 3 out of 4 matchups. The Dolphins beat the Panthers and Saints and split with the Falcons and Bucs.
AFC North: Split the slate, finishing 2–2. The AFC North is tough but the Dolphins should win against the Browns and Steeler and will lose close ones to the Bengals (who will win in shoot out) and the Raven (Lamar neutralizes pass rush)
Other AFC Matchups: Beat both the Colts and Chargers. The Dolphins match up well against the Colts as they are a running attack pits them against the strength of the Dolphins' defense. Similarly, John Harbaugh's offenses struggle when they can't establish the run.
Prediction
The Dolphins finish 12–5, powered by an offense that stretches defenses thin and a front seven that consistently wrecks games. They secure a playoff berth, advance past the Wild Card round, and bow out in the Divisional Round. While not yet breaking through to the Super Bowl, Miami firmly establishes itself as one of the AFC’s most dangerous teams — with the potential to contend for years if McDaniel proves he’s the right man to lead them.
@PakistanNews_24 Pure racism. Plain and simple. Afghan engineer went to space but they don't have qualified engineer. It's sad the length Pakistani go to dehumanize Afghans.

It’s not easy for this desperate man to forget his mother and three innocent children, killed in Pakistani airstrikes in Helmand. “I have no one but Allah to turn to for help…”
@SouthAsiaIndex Turkey does not officially recognize Afghanistan. Russia recognizes Afghanistan. So it's rich when Turkey and Pakistan is complaining about diplomacy when neither have the courage to engage at an official level.
Bro, they have said that over and over with regards to Pakistan and all of the neighboring countries. This has been repeated regularly by the leader and at every moment. That has been the country's policy.
I wish you woul look at the government official accounts for their official policy.
@MirH_x @OGMuseDoree1 Afghans shared information about many Afghan women doctors and not just ones from Islamic Relief. You did acknowlege there were Afghan women doctors in other NGOs and in Afghanistan. That is what I meant about correcting your information.
@MirH_x @OGMuseDoree1 I swear I have never interacted with someone like you. You are totally unique. You responded to Hafsa's post and you shared the Islamic Relief photo. Reread Hafsa post and your own reply. I am glad that you are now correcting your information.
This is what I called a lie. He was saying that there were no female doctors. I said this was a lie. You said the female doctors were from Islamic Relief and somehow tied it to Pakistan (😂🤣) which is also a lie because Islamic Relief was started by Arabs. Furthermore, there were more Afghan women doctors than those in the Islamic Relief picture. Some from Afghanistan and some from overseas.
@MirH_x @OGMuseDoree1 This is entirely wrong and has nothing to do with this conversation. I think your brain can't process new information. You keep reinforcing your own biases.
@MirH_x @OGMuseDoree1 You said the female doctors that "afghandu" aresharing are from Islamic Relief. That is false. There are Afghan doctors in Afghanistan. There were other humanitarian organizations as well with Afghan doctors.
You were the one spreading false information about Afghanistan. I responded a) for you to stop being racist and b) to correct the misinformation. For some reason, in your twisted mind, you somehow interpreted that Afghanistan needs Pakistan's help and Afghanistan's problems are because of Pakistan? You live in a different reality. Again, that is what prejudice and racism do to people.
@MirH_x @OGMuseDoree1 You have this skewed view of reality. I have written my points clear as day. THat's what racism does to you. It's foggs the mind. Or maybe it's drug your on. I don't know what is wrong with you.
I don't think there is a single Afghan in the world that thinks that Pakistan can solve Afghanistan's problem. Lol. This is your wild imagination. A good example was the US/NATO war when Pakistan said very clearly that they would not help , and Afghans did not really give it much thought and defended their sovereignty. I don't think Pakistan has played any role in Afghan politics other then being a annoying pest that can't figure out it's own political problems.
Afghans want Pakistanis to concentrate on their own country.
I can't believe that you have this duplicitous personality. Lol. You need to see a psychologist. So you are telling me that your nationalism prevents you from rationaly discussing geopolitics in the South East asia? Your only capable of insults when Pakistan is mentioned?
Look, Pakistan is a nuclear power. It has over 250 million people. There are lots of talented people. Stop having this inferiority complex. The criticism of Pakistan has to do with how the government is using xenophobia to distract from the vast number of domestic issues that are preventing it from achieving its potential. Educated and wealth Pakistani leave the country and are constantly migrating to the west. They are fed up because they feel helpless.
#1) National debt- The military leaders leverage the internal resources of Pakistan which makes the economy weaker. Most of the GDP is going to pay interest on debt.
#2) Because the country lacks a representative civilian government, every problem in the country is considered a military problem and the only tactic applied is force. That has exacerbated the problems. Now there are two active insurgencies in the country.
#3) Corruption is rampant in the country. It is difficult for the central government to enact policies when the black market is so prevalent in the country.
The best Pakistan for Afghanistan is a stable and thriving Pakistan. Not one on the verge collapse which is happlessly looking at Afghanistan as a scape goat.
The only group of people that suffer from delusion are people like who lack the education and intellectual maturaty to discuss issues without resorting to trops and insults. Was it your education or your upbringing? I know you are nothing like the educated Pakistani friends I have.
@MirH_x @OGMuseDoree1 Come one. At least have the guts to admit it. Don't worry Allah (SWA) knows. You can resort to racism all you want. You seemed like a reasonable person in the other post and then went full racist mode.
This is not true at all. I have many Pakistani friends who are good ethical human being that are not hyper ethnocentric or nationalist. They have legitimate critisim of the their government which is based in their desire to want the best for their government.
Similary, Afghans have legitmate criticism of Afghanistan rooted in wanted the best for Afghans in the long run.
In person, people are much more different than they are online.
