One of the best teams in the Afc and perhaps in the Nfl. Can we finally beat them and get the monkey off our back?
We are 0-6 against them. From what I have seen in the Pre-season from Miami I want to say no.
We have a lot of work to do. Ireland needs to be busy and Philbin and staff need to coach and teach (fundamentals)
I just want to be competitive and not beat ourselves like we always do. Hopefully we have the proper coaches this time around.
I'm getting kind of worried here with this roster.

Placing a wager , I am ... and not on my team.

I'm ready. I have the JD, ice rocks so as not to water my drink down, fresh wire coat hangers to beat the family with during the game and the pool is clean so I can drown myself in it when its all said & done.

If your a handicapper, and you have good data that illustrates preseason performance as it relates to how teams play in the season openers, and it favors the team with a good overall performance, Houston should smoke us, you make the bet, if it doesn't show a correlation, then back off.

well at least I have Andre Johnson on my fantasy team.. ugh
that said, maybe we've got some good scheming coming that they haven't showed in the preseason. Though its gonna take a lot more than a good scheme to beat these guys -
this is going to be a massacre
-
maybe it will be easy after Wake takes shuab out of the game.

Houston 31 Miami 10

Then on defense I'm not overly worried about any one spot. Sure we could use another pass rusher but as a whole I think our D-Line and LB's will be fine. Better than a lot of units in the league. I'm not too worried at corner even minus Davis. Then safety would be my main concern but I don't think our pass coverage can be any worse minus Bell. -
Hey they beat us as big underdogs to kick off 2003...maybe we'll reverse it now that Miami is the underdog. Except the talented (minus QB) 2003 Dolphins had Wannstedt as a coach...Kubiak should have them more prepared, we'll see.

Classic trap game scenario with the game in Houston. However, I am supremely confident in my lack of confidence in this team. Should be fun to watch. Finally gonna see how good Philbin/Sherman are at scheming.
-
Who knows maybe this one time that we're expected to be annihilated maybe they'll pull it off? As opposed to most of those other times where it was supposed to be an easy victory for us.

I always wait to see a few REGULAR SEASON GAMES, before I start to make a judgement on this team. Really we have not seen our real group of starters play together yet. Tannehill is going to do nothing but improve week to week and I think we are going to find a WR to help in either cuts or a trade. Hartline gets healthy, and he can get open when healthy.
I believe that if you look at our preseason, there are a few key moments in every game where we just dont make the play we should have made. Drops have plagued us quite a bit and really killed some drives and probably took points off the board.
IMO our biggest problem right now is that we have NO pass rush at all aside from Wake. -
trap games are usually in the middle of the season IMO.... -
They should have Smith on Andre the whole game. Only chance to slow him down a little.

Can we put Banes mask on the houston logo with the words:
"I am Miami's wreckoning"dolfan32323 and finyank13 like this. -
That usually means success against Miami also. -
Houston's plane already beat up Miami's plane.

I once again renewed my season tickets although I have little hope for a winning season.
My hope for the year is that Tannehill develops into a solid QB by the end of the year.
That will be what will sustain me.
Then I hope that we find a better GM than Ireland to re-stock the team around Tannehill.dolfan32323 and djphinfan like this. -

Houston has been having Oline issues, hoping our defense can expose that and get a lot of pressure on Schaub.
-
I bought a bottle of scotch. I am hoping it is enough to get me through the game.
-
I don't feel like anything I personally do to prepare for Houston will be meaningful in regards to the Dolphins winning.

It's all been yet another clever ploy from Coach 'Hannibal' Philbin. Make ourselves look really bad in pre season and watch the opponents come in ill prepared and cocky. Miami puts up 50+ in week 1 and Coach cracks out his cigar safe in the knowledge that yet another plan has come together.

We have a couple things we can hope for.
1- Reggie Bush lights it up on his quest for 2,000 yards. This will control the clock and keep Houston on the sidelines.
2- Houston has a questionable O line. Maybe Wake and company will have success against this and not give Johnson enough time to get down the field.
3- We trade for a WR that can actually hold on to the ball. Helping keep the double team off of Bess.
