After such an abysmal showing in 2007, having only won one game, a person could have argued that there was absolutely no cause to feel hopeful about what lay ahead. That person would have been sorely mistaken, as the Dolphins' opponents from the 2008 season will surely tell.

These are in no particular order, nor is the title meant to infer that there are only ten reasons for optimism.
