    Game #3 of the 2012 is a huge one for the 2012 Dolphins, and here is why:

    Look at our following 2 games:

    -@ AZ, the Cards did just beat the Patriots in Foxboro, but considering it took a football powerball win to pull it off

    -@ Cinci Bengals are very beatable

    -Rams at home

    Those 3 games are very winnable, the Jets game with a win, keeps us in the thick of the AFCE hunt as well.

    Difference can be 4-1 vs 3-2, and to me, one of the things this fanbase needs is that sort of momentum moving forward, 4-1 and we all will be thinking playoffs.

    Cards and Bengals are no gimmes, particularly on the road. Let's just take it one game at a time

    You are right in saying the Jets game is huge. At the same time I truly believe the Dolphins can go 4-1 but like it was said earlier that we should go one game at a time. Let's look forward to the Jets getting a serious butt whuppin on Sunday.

    Yeah this game is huge early on for us. I like a lot of you i'm sure HATE the Jets and pretty much always have since I can remember. One of the biggest rivalry games in football that nobody really talks about and we have to get us a win. Not going to be easy at all but we need to pull this out. I think the reason this game is huge is divisional purposes but also because the Cardinals and Bengals games are no gimmes.
    Beating the Raiders is one thing but beating this Jets team will be a huge boost for us mentally. I'm thinking about the playoffs until we are just flat out not in the picture of them.

    All of us who can make it, let's go to the stadium and fill it up. The guys served up a convincing win when many of us thought we'd go 0-16. They played above themselves and gave all they had. Let's show them support and let the despicable, disgusting, contemptible JEST hear how much we hate them.

    I didn't realize the Cards won in Foxboro that's huge.

    Plus beating the Jets would be almost as good as muting all the Ireland whiners the forum could actually have class again.

    Kind of odd that I haven't read about any trash talking by either team this week...then again we don't have Crowder on the team anymore. Still have faith that Ryan will open that trap of his sometime before this game takes place.

    Interesting thing about last yr is how much better we were on the road then at home.

    Hopefully it carries over to this yr.

    It's the Jets. We could go into a Jets game with both teams being 1-14 and it would be huge.

    I'm with you on what you meant... but it's the Jets... God I hate those guys...

    Not too sure how winnable games @ Arizona and @ Cincinnati are. I certainly wouldn't be chalking them up as wins as your post suggests you're doing.

    Just as big as the possibility of the Fins getting on a roll with a win, is the fact that we could send the Jets into the other direction. They play Houston and San Francisco after coming to Miami. Beat them on Sunday, and they're staring 1-4 in the face. Imagine the disfunction! They'll be eaten alive by the NYC media, and beaten up pretty badly by the national media as well. :up:

    We beat Cinci in Cinci 2 yrs ago with Henne at Qb, this is one of the reasons why I'm somewhat confident about that one.

    Bengals were a playoff team in 2011, but did not beat any team with a winning record.

    AZ has Kolb.

    If nothing in the OP was true, this game is still huge. Its the Jets.

    Team priorities every year should be:
    1. Super Bowl
    2. Playoffs
    3. Division
    4. Sweep the Jets
    5. Sweep NE
    6. Find great prices on back to school items.
    7. Sweep the Bills.

    If they beat the Jets then the season suddenly appears in a much different light than it had before. Outside of the Patriots and 49ers, you're looking at a very manageable schedule.

    not to overreact
    there will be some good games
    & some bumps in the road
    we are rebuilding

    I see a tremendous potential emerging as the team develops through 2012 :yes:

    we need to focus on resigning Bush & Hartline ASAP

    (afterwards what little we need the draft will provide for next season)

    We need a lot, but the draft with all those picks and free agency with all that cap room will provide most of it.

    We have to beat the Jets because they represent all that is detestable in the human race.

    Cards are 9-2 in last 11

    Bengals are certainly not without talent

    I think it's a matter of hangin' with the Jets 'til halftime, let the heat do the rest

    Who does that?
    We play the Jets up there on October 28th after the BYE.
    Cards,Bengals,Rams. Before.
    This game is huge. Keep on developing that QB.
    Running the football is a lost art right?

    10/30/12 Heat start up against the Celtics.

    Ray Allen observing the Banner raising and Championship celebration as a member of the Heat vs his former team. Nothing beats that.

    It's not really. This team has no legitimate shot at any sort of playoff run.

    That is all that matters to you? Right now. You caving before week 3. :lol:
    What about developing a QB and in the process playing well and keeping pace , watching it unfold.
    You have no passion to beat the Jets. That's sad man.
    I wanna kick their ***.

    We are not a good football team. I will watch as I do every season, but I am fully aware of the disappointment that will ensue throughout the course of this season with the Dolphins.

    The Heat offer an injection of novocaine starting late October.

    Don't believe in it never have. Sunday rolls around. I'm in.
    If you aren't. That is your choice.
    I never roll that way. Depressing way to be a fan.To each his own.

    When and if we win this game. You better not be in here celebrating. :lol:

    Coming from a guy with a picture of the punter in his signature, you clearly realize the Dolphins are devoid of the talent necessary to make a real run.

    I see the next three games after the Jets as toss ups. The Cards have won 9 of the last 11 and just beat the Pats. The Bengals are being considered division contenders and have promising talents at QB and WR. And anybody who has watched the Rams play this year would know they're playing very well. This is a big game for us simply b/c it's a division game, but I don't agree with the schedule reasons provided. If anything, the schedule makes it more of a must win for the Jets since they follow us with games against the Niners and the Texans. A loss here could put them on track for a four game losing streak.

    At least that's what the Raiders thought.
