Merged 4x **Judgment Day!! Official Patriots VS Dolphins Thread!!**

Prediction? 27-20 Miami

R&R Express totallng 254yds 2 TD
Chad Henne 223 yds 1 INT 1 TD

I think we win it running it down their asses. Hartline/Camarillo are going to be Henne targets all game long. Hanos will grab a pass by Henne for a TD.

Every now and then I get good vibes about a game. This is that game. I`m not saying this is an easy one, not by any stretch, but I feel really good about this one. We win this one and we`re 4-0 in the division- one game behind the Patriots ( and a game up head to head). Also,back to back road division wins would be huge. I`m not predicting a score just a W.

Everybody talks about the strength of New England's last two victories but they rarely mention the fact that those teams are bottom dwellers. If Miami was coming off of two strong victories against bottom dwellers the media wouldn't stop pointing that out. New England does it and the dynasty is back. God I hope we beat those guys today.

the run game has to emerge again or we're not going to have a good day. we have to keep the ball, tire that defense out so we can dominate in the 4th. defense has to make some plays, too. can't afford to let the patriots score quickly on deep passes. we need plenty of chances to put him on his a$$ and cause turnovers.

Im wearing my Orange RW Jersy for this game!!!!! The magic thread in it will get us through!

It's going to be a physical game. I know NE doesn't run the ball, but I'm concerned that both Ferguson and Crowder have been ruled out for this game. We didn't play very good defense when they were sidelined last year. Hopefully that's a trend that doesn't continue today.

Sparano: This is where we fight! This is where they die!
Joey Porter: On these shields, boys!

Sparano: Remember this day, men, for it will be yours for all time.
Brady: DOLPHINS! Lay down your weapons!
Henne: Patriots...COME AND GET THEM!

if those guys being out entices new england to try running the ball more, that may actually work to our favor. in the end, their game is through the air. our young secondary has to step up and bite as pups, as BP says. someone has to make a play back there at some point. we desperately need a pass rush today or those youngsters are going to be under immense pressure to cover moss and welker.

It won't work to our advantage if New England effectively runs the ball. It will make the pass that much harder to defend.

even without those guys, we should be good against the run. the new england spread offense is going to be the key. the front 4 on our d-line has to get pressure when they get in to those 3 and 4 WR sets. how long can you really expect sean smith to cover randy moss down the field?

I doubt Smith gets Moss in coverage that often as we don't flop our corners to stay with one man in particular. Smith will get Welker on some instances, but the real key is how well does Nathan Jones play the slot. If he plays poorly, we are in trouble.

The one thing that ALWAYS sticks with me about this team the past 2 years that is so different than the teams of before. Our Physicality. We need to be Physical and be strong at both points of attack. If there is one thing I know NE does not like is being in a physical game. They want to spread it all out and throw up and down the field. Are we up to that challenge?

I don't get that. davis on moss creates a size advantage for them. although I do think that davis has been the better player so far.

My wish

May Brady have many grass stains in his pampered jersey.:knucks:

Good luck all!

there will be blood! :yes:

Go Phins! :evil:

What up my brothers and sisters....

Key to the game....contain wes welker....the man still doesnt get the respect he deserves, even on this board.....hes a great football player in his own right, regardless of who is throwing to him, and who he lines up next to..

P.s...that exercise chick on tv, her name is Jillian something....is scary...chic looks like a dude man, cant believe that face gets airtime.....

just thought i'd share that with ya, lol.

Other key to the game....Can Joey back up his big mouth...if he does'nt today, hes gonna get some heat.

yeah, porter and taylor are showing their age I think. they need to find some youth again and show up for us.

To be fair, 2 of our last wins have come against perhaps the lowest of the bottom dwellers :lol:, at least when judging them on their attitude.

This is going to be a great game to watch. It won't be easy but i have faith in our team. Common' guys lets get it done!

Go Dolphins!!!!!!!!!!! :up:

Veterans Day special show going on at FOX. I give those guys much props and respect! FOX FTW!

It's game day gentlemen. For sure this game will be won or lost in the trenches. If we get serious pressure on Marsha Brady we win. Their running game is hurting by the loss of Morris and Taylor.

I see a low scoring game with Miami making a late TD to take the lead. If we don't win the game in the trenches we will blown out. Our running game has got to be effective. And we have got to disrupt Marsha.

win or lose, I'm really going to enjoy this game...

Same here, after a week of "the dolphins are dooommmeed" I'm just going to chill and watch for what they can do, especially the Rooks in the secondary and Joey P.

But we are 2-0 when I buy a pack of lanshark lager...just sayin'...:shifty:
