*** Official Dolphins Home Opener Eff the Bills game day thread ***

Here is my prep for this one.




It won't last me until halftime, but it won't have to.

 

I agree, however, wins should be the dominant factor, and there is an advantage for the TEAM to play at 1, however, Ross is more focused on the fans imo, and less focused on winning, he thinks he can "market" the team to the fans, this thought is also reflected in our 2nd "home" game next week... in London.

An anonymous quote from an NFL FO person was(paraphrasing), "it seems to me that he's more interested in marketing his team than winning", and JJ down in Dallas saying that he would NEVER give up a home game because your giving up an advantage.

 

Well, when you leave 7 guys in to protect...

 

Albert out completely sucks the big arse.

 

if albert was playing i would pick us more comfortably. with him out i'm very worried. we really need coyle to scheme the right defense and keep this a low scoring affair. i am predicting our defense shows up in a big way today and we win 10-7

 

I have plenty of beer and buffalo style chicken wings ready to go!

 

Just laid a $50 emotional hedge bet on the Bills.

 

Id like to see Jelani and Reshad win this game with their athleticism and speed..Like to see Phillips start net to Suh and just drive his man back every play, and Id like to see Suh be a dominant force and stop worrying about slanting into position.

 

20-10 Bills

 

Which NFL team had the best home record in the 70's? Miami
In the 80's? Miami
In the 90's? Miami

This trend only changed when Ross came to town and decided that disco clubs and celebrity owners were more important than winning. Because plain and simple, opponents can't handle the humidity and it's the 2nd biggest advantage in football (besides the elevation in Denver). So no, Ross is not doing this for the fans......because the fans would take the W in the blistering sun any day of the week. Hell, I grew up with season tickets in the Orange Bowl every Sunday and I never remember thinking, "Dad, can't we stay home in the air conditioning for this one? It's too hot to go see the game." No die-hard fan would ever say such things.

So if you're a Dolphins fan, you always want to see 1 PM kickoffs. To hell with who may not show because of it; that's not the main advantage anyway. The heat and humidity determine the outcome in the 4th quarter and we're fools for bucking this 30+ year trend.

 

Class action against the team for giving us heart damage.

 

Damien Williams has that stocky little body. It would be nice if he could manage to not only catch the ball today but to break a couple of tackles. Going to need him as an outlet I do believe.

 

is jonas gray active?

Jonas Gray,today is your day Bro!!!

 

wonder who will Return today???

Damien Williams and??

 

I'm in

 

matt ryan making that comeback, down 28 to 25, 3rd and 8, drops, nothing there, takes off and runs for 16, first down, {iv'e also seen two naked bootlegs in this game}...predictable result thereafter......TD.

guy has something like 26 4th quarter comeback wins under his belt...it was a pivitol play in the game, and shows that the dude regardless of athletic ability will do whatever it takes.

 

That makes 25 games missed for Albert in just a little over 2 seasons? What a waste of a free agent signing. Replacing him needs to be priority one this offseason.

 

Freaking Mosturd inactive today? Gah!!! We have angered the football gods.

 

I'm posting from Section 111. TANNY looks loose. He's practi one handed swoop catches with Matthews. Throwing the ball to each other back and forth.

 

Jordan Cameeon looks good in warmups. Catching those 30 yard outs like nothing's wrong.

 

Thunderstorms in the area...

 

Warren Buffett is on sidelines wearing a Suh jersey. With shoulder pads. Crazy azz billionairre.

 

I'm in 115, row 2!

 

Imma come at you stitch. Landry jersey. Bushy beard.

 

The announcers in last weeks Falcons game noted that Ryan has more 4th quarter comebacks in the NFL over the last 7 plus years than any other QB in the NFL. Yet there are still Dolphin fans who think taking Long was the right pick in 2008 and that the Dolphins are better with Tannehill than they would be with Matt Ryan.

 

Seeing Big Ben's injury makes me worry for Tannehill playing behind this line.

 

When you are as rich as Buffett, you are not crazy. You are eccentric .

 

Stitches is a GREAT kisser.

 

Prepare to get pissed on. I live 20 minutes away from the stadium and there's a thunderstorm raining hellfire on me.

 

Lots of turnaround games this week, it's getting me excited for this game...

 

Fine by me, it's ****ing hot. Might clear out the Bills fans that surround me too.

 

Thunder and lightning may postpone the game. It's ugly down here in Doral.

 

this indy game..wow
