Ok, ready to play. Depth charts, gameplans, and so forth all in staff hands. I'm just trying to build a roster, at least for now. S Jones continues to play at MLB, for what it's worth, I'm not manually fixing it. WR Worthy, our top pick, steps in as our top PR/KR, that seems like a good use of a top ten pick, sure.

Preseason is uneventful. I'm guessing we stay around 6-10, losing that much WR talent was a big blunder.

We actually start off pretty well (we started 4-2 last season before collapsing) and we hold the division lead at 4-3. 7 games in and RB Patrick Laird, our camp breakout guy, has 450 yards already. WRs Williams (587) and Worthy (499) are both humming along as we remain in the Bruce Arians offense, it seems. DE Leonard Williams is a major factor for our D (and I feel bad for signing him before I realized the maxsal numbers were such a problem).

Small thing... in-season, after I click "Simulate Week" the game immediately jumps to the next week's matchups. I can't see standings, or even records next to the teams in the previews. So, I need to back out of that menu and open up standings to see who won the game. Again, not a huge deal, but making me work for it more than seems intuitive. Wouldn't you think a lot of GMs want to do what I'm doing... sim the week, and immediately see how our game went?

However... we fade. First to 5-6, then 6-7, and then ultimately to 6-10.

Code:

Week 1	New Orleans Saints 	Miami Dolphins 	NO 14  Mia 10
Week 2	Oakland Raiders 	Miami Dolphins 	Oak 42  Mia 17
Week 3	Miami Dolphins 	Kansas City Chiefs 	Mia 28  KC 24
Week 4	Miami Dolphins 	New York Jets 	Mia 35  NYJ 22
Week 5	Miami Dolphins 	Buffalo Bills 	Mia 13  Buf 26
Week 6	New York Jets 	Miami Dolphins 	NYJ 3  Mia 13
Week 7	Atlanta Falcons 	Miami Dolphins 	Atl 21  Mia 24
Week 8	Los Angeles Chargers 	Miami Dolphins 	LA 27  Mia 24
Week 9	Miami Dolphins 	Tampa Bay Buccaneers 	Mia 20  TB 17
Week 11	New England Patriots 	Miami Dolphins 	NE 31  Mia 24
Week 12	Indianapolis Colts 	Miami Dolphins 	Ind 9  Mia 6
Week 13	Miami Dolphins 	Baltimore Ravens 	Mia 25  Bal 28
Week 14	Miami Dolphins 	Carolina Panthers 	Mia 26  Car 9
Week 15	Miami Dolphins 	New England Patriots 	Mia 17  NE 20
Week 16	Buffalo Bills 	Miami Dolphins 	Buf 30  Mia 17
Week 17	Miami Dolphins 	Denver Broncos 	Mia 20  Den 28

So, there we are. Another early draft pick, but the team is starting to come into focus, as is the game.
