Exactly how big is this week 4 game?

Which two? At Green Bay and what else? We have the Steelers at home, not on the road, if that’s what you’re referring to.

We ARE on the road for 3 of the next four games, though. At Green Bay, home versus Steelers, at Cincinnati, at Baltimore. Each of those teams are beatable, though I think we’ll have the most trouble with Baltimore, in all honesty.

 

This game tonight is gonna be as humongous as Cameron Wake's sack total this year.

 

No matter what some want to believe, we lose this game its season over. We would be 2 back of the Jets just in the division. And with games in NY and NE left, we would just about be dead for the division, and on life support for a Wildcard. Yes tonight is HUGE, and absolute must win or we are basically done for this year.

We lose tonight and NY and NE have the tiebreakers over us, I mean its really, really bad for us to lose.

 

Tonight is a must-win and I'm not overstating things.

Make no mistake, this is a MUCH bigger game for the Dolphins than it is for the Patriots. We need to hold serve in divisional home games. We lose tonight and we're staring at a 2-4 divisional record come the end of the regular season.

Slice it any way you want, that's not good enough.

 

D1Beatles,

Too early to say "Hello, Goodbye" to the Pats. However, a win here may well lead to a "Magical Mystery Tour" after the bye.

 

These home divisional games are HUGE, we can't let both of them go down as losses. It wouldn't be the end of the season, but we would have dug one heck of a hole for ourselves in the division race. I would have rather started 0-2 again but win against Jets and Pats than to lose these two. Come on Dolphins, lets go!!!

 

. We're coming off of a bye week. The Packers have no run game whatsoever. They have one pass rusher, #52, who wont get anywhere near Chad Henne because of Jake Long. They just lost to the Bears, and nearly lost to Detroit because they can't close games out (no run game). Playing at GB is always tough, but the Packers aren't anywhere near as good as the general public thinks they are. Hopefully they'll spank the Skins this week and come into the game vs us a little complacent. I like our chances.

 

Division Home games are very important, but seriously, I'm ok with going into the bye week at 2-2, although I expected to do it differently.

I don't look at any NFL team right now and think "Man, that's going to be a loss." I'm a lot more optimistic about this team than I have been in a few years.

Even going into New York and New England, I think well have a chance against both of them.

It's too early in the season to start getting worried and thinking that anything is a must win. The wins are important, but it's so much harder to enjoy the game as a fan if I think of everyone as must win.

 

Because both losses would be to divisional opponents, it’s more like a 2-3 or even 2-4 record. Would you be happy going into a bye with that kind of record? I hope not.

This is a must win game if we want to have a legitimate shot at the division title in December.

 

HUH? I guess we've already chalked up @ NE & @ NY as losses. Dunno about you, but I've seen nothing that leads me to believe we can't go on the road and beat them both.

 

Think about tie-breakers at the end of the season. The Jests are already 3-0 in the division. We are 1-1. I really don't want to come out of tonight 1-2. If we do we can pretty much write of winning a tie-breaker. Sure the Jests could lose their next 3 divisional games, but I would much rather be 2-1 in the division after this game and only one game back in the tie-breaker.

I know there is a ton of football left to be played, but at the same time with the way the schedules are front and back loaded with divisional games this year; I would rather have a winning divisional record going into our bye.

 

Jermichael Finley has the potential to rip us to shreds... but there are definitely ways to beat the overrated Packers. I've been telling everyone, don't stare in awe at the Packers and Vikings because they blew out teams like the Rams and Seahawks last year, neither GB or Minny are the same this year.

But tonight it's the Patriots, bring it on! I want to see Vontae get his third pick against Brady!

 

You haven't?
