I don't really know, I know "technically" they can say that since they did get the playoff spot but if I was in the Dolphins position I wouldn't be saying anything. It's not like they ran away with the division, they had the same record as a Patriot team lead by Matt Cassel, beat out a Jets team with a QB that faltered at the end as well as the Buffalo Bills that had injuries on top of injuries. Patriots also avenged their 20 point loss with a 20 point win in Miami at the end of the season, too bad the Patriots couldn't figure out the Wildcat offense by then though otherwise it could have been an even bigger victory...
Then throw in the fact that every Patriots, Bills and Jets all made improvements while Dolphins brought Jason Taylor and made a reach for a "Wildcat QB" in the 3rd round. Jets probably made the most improvements by upgrading their defense, I don't know about their QB situation but their D is gonna scary I think. Dolphins also went 1-15 two season ago, so lets see if last year was merely a fluke or the real deal. I just saying Joey Porter has a history of talking shit then having it blow up in his face a lot of the time, that's all.
