08:42 AM ET 09.09 | The Dolphins must emerge from 2012 knowing exactly what they have in Ryan Tannehill, but also critical is this: Owner Stephen Ross must decide whether Jeff Ireland is the right man long-term for the franchise???s most important position, aside from quarterback. Ross made clear he expects a winning team in 2012, though some of Ireland's moves suggest he's far more concerned with 2013 than 2012. A friend of Ross believes Ireland will be in serious trouble if the Dolphins bomb. He insists Ross does not have "blind faith" in his general manager. Another close business associate of Ross said Ireland probably would not survive a 5-11 season but cautioned there could be scenarios in which the Dolphins have a losing record but Ross still keeps Ireland.

D'oh! How did I miss that!?! I say the Pack beats the 9ers today.
By the way, is your monicker an homage to one of the greatest guitar players of all time, Robert Fripp?

As far as GMs are concerned, it should be a hot seat built for two... room for Ireland, and room for A.J. Smith.

AJ Smith of San Diego? I think he and Norv are gone by the end of the year. Norv might get his exit slip a little sooner than that even.

Too close to call, I imagine. But should be the best game of the weekend.

But their runningback is coming off of a serious knee injury and that defense is getting older. Toss in a new offensive coordinator, and I'm not so sure about that. I think they're good enough for the playoffs, but I would go with a 9-7 season prediction for them.

The Steelers don't really run the ball like they used to anymore. They didn't last year and they still had a very good regular season. Their offense is about Big Ben and those receivers. As long as he is healthy, they are going to be good. The defense will still be very good and they'll be at least 11-5 this season.

The Bills aren't superstars, but have the Jets even scored a TD in the preseason? Also, Bucs have a new coach, and I was wavering a bit on this one. But in the end, I'm a converted Cam Newton believer. I think the guy is a stud.

You can fire Ireland or not, Mr. Ross. But you aren't going to like your GMs until Brady retires.
