yeah lets ****ing do this, lets see if our coach can finally light some fire under his team to make them play inspired from the first snap, lets run right up their guts through the middle and screen them to death out of trips bunch.....i know we can do this, we always play the good teams tough......lets ****ing go....8 hours to go

GO MIAMI !!!

 

usually I work sundays, take my laptop and put the game on via Sunday Ticket and watch the game, but I took tomorrow of so Ill get to enjoy my first game from home! GO PHINS!

 

**** it..Im starting both Tannehill and Miller today on my fantasy team. I believe in these guys..mofos better not let me down.

 

Just went and dropped NEs D and picked up ours....

 

When you're a team trying to turn a corner in a "statement" game against a clearly better team, you need your team leaders to come out and set the tone for the team early, so that the rest of the roster can see there's indeed a chance to win and follow their example. That's how the spirit for an upset is galvanized.

I'm looking for plays early from Wake (especially on Rodgers), Moreno, and Tannehill. Those guys are capable and in the positions that matter. We'll see if this team's ready to win one today and turn a corner in whether its leadership can come out and set that tone early on.

 

The only place they are better is at qb...

 

I don't know why Deej..I thought you lived in Florida..I wanna see the same guys I always see on TV first row east end zone seats cranking it up..I wanna see tons of Dolphins fans bringing decibel level over 130.. I would love to see Tannehill running 70 yards down the field to high five Wallace on the bomb TD only to be followed up by and 80 harder...I wanna see Lamar Miller take one to the house from 60 plus yards and I want Deej to see a.completely Dominate, elite Dolphins " D " Today and the rest of the year...and, I want to see our offense over 500 yards and 40 points....Go Dolphins..." smack the pack"

 

Great move!!! Dolphins D and ST gonna do it up big today

 

they are not a CLEARLY better team

 

so much for DJ not going to sleep....come on man....

 

I'm optimistic that they will play well, not as optimistic that we will win. IMO, game will come down to whether we can generate pass rush with our front 4.

 

It's going to depend heavily on a lot of positions that don't matter, along with a few that do...trenches, trenches, trenches.

 

And that is very substantial when you consider that: 1) QBs are responsible for a far greater portion of NFL game play than any other facet of a team, and 2) the Packers are operating with one of the best QBs of all time, while the Dolphins operate with one who is far more prone to coming out and laying an egg in any one game, and one whose even best performance might not be enough to surmount that of his counterpart, if his counterpart is playing optimally.

 

I obviously want a win, but I really just want to see this team play well.

 

Exception to the rule, which is why the Packers are favored by about a touchdown in Miami, when you consider that home field advantage is generally worth about three points. Don't think Vegas doesn't have its finger on the pulse of who has the advantage in this game and why.

 

If you know how Vegas works, then I'm sure you're well aware of why the Packers are essentially nearly a touchdown favorite in Miami, despite that an exception to the rule happened in week one against the Patriots, with regard to what I wrote above about the talent differential at QB in this game. Vegas doesn't establish lines based on exceptions to the rule. It establishes them based on what's likely to happen.

 

No doubt, AR12 is one of the all time best...but he's not infallible. See the Seattle/Detroit games this year. He looks like a rookie at times against strong defenses. Their wins were against the Jests, Vikes and Bears.

Even as good as Rodgers is, they're 18th in the league in passing, to go with 25th in rushing...they're very beatable.

And Cowherd and his buddy just picked Miami...bank it! :up:

 

We just have to get pressure on Rodgers. I think that's the most important facet of the game. The next is stop their running game.

Notice I didn't mention anything about the offense. Even if stumble over ourselves, I think we can figure out 17 points in this game.

 

What hasn't really been discussed (at least from what I've seen) is special teams. We absolutely HAVE to win this area to win this game. We're getting some D starters back, so that should free up many of the usual solid STers to do their thing. We're 2-0 when the STs do well...0-2 when they don't. More positions that "don't matter."

 

Morning from Milwaukee, Wisconsin all. Someone let me into enemy territory this weekend. :shifty:

(Yes I know game is in Miami)

 

A home team was at least a 2.5-point underdog in only 13% of the 512 regular season games played in 2013. It's not all that common an occurrence. In other words, it tends to happen only when the away team is viewed as, like I said, "clearly better."

 

Gotta keep pace. If we fall behind, can't get down more than a touchdown or so. Rodgers is too good with a lead when he can just call a bunch of kill-shots over the top. He and that offense can really get on a roll riding that front-running wave...and before you know it you're out of the game.

 

A home team was at least a 2-point underdog in only 14% of the 512 regular season games played in 2013.

86% of the time, the home team was viewed as "better" than that.

 

Ours is facing Aaron Rodgers and Buffalo is starting a quarterback that doesn't belong in this league and throwing it to Revis... good move..

 

Good luck today guys. Here is to a good game with no injuries.

 

This is the exact mindset that I just don't understand. What good is being content with a loss regardless of how well they played? I'll say it again, NO EXCUSES TODAY! If they lose today then we clearly STILL haven't turned the corner. Moral victories don't cut it for me.

 

Not feeling very confident today. Not that this team ever lends itself to confidence.

Go fins tho

 

Yep, we need a win, beating the Raiders doesn't do anything for me.

 

I don't expect a win, but it better be a close game.....(unless we blow them out :P).

 

Go dolphins!

 

Me waiting for two weeks, waking up today and it's finally game day:

 

darlington

 

Why? So you can feel "not as bad" with a loss? I just don't get it. :pity:

 

hmmmmmmmmm!?!?!?
