Official Dolphin vrs Steelers game thread...yeah that's right..

We can beat the steelers. They don't run the ball, our CBs can handle their wr. Their oline isn't great when healthy and they aren't. This feels good.

Wallace will abuse his former team....he circled the day on his calender the moment he signed.

Emanuel Sanders and Cotchery are no slouches. We will need our trio of Vern, Wake and Dion to not only pressure Ben...but contain him.

He signed in March. The schedule came out in April.

Steelers had already been planned though.

In Pittsburgh, month of December?

This is gonna be a brawl. Not doubt about it. Big Ben scares the crap out of me, because its so damn hard to bring him down.

They'll be on their 3rd string center for the Miami game, Velasco went on IR earlier this week.

Not a big fan of Velasco. He was part of the problem with the Titans running game after Kevin Mawae retired post CJ2k.

Sorry deej, I prefer to take a couple extra days to savor the delicious flavor of beating down the Jets in their own building.

But I'll be back later in the week!

Whomsoevers O-line sucks less, wins the game.

We can't let the Jets complete inability to do anything offensively get us comfy or cocky. Ben is still a dangerous guy and looks like if the refs had their way we'd be 5-7 so watch out.

They run the ball very well, but Bell had his bell rung which may keep him out of the game.

It's all about who the Head Referee is.

They are 31st in rushing in the entire league. No, they do not.

We have some match-up advantages with our pass rush vs their decimated o-line. The Jets have a better defense than Pitt so hopefully we can have a similar offensive output in similar conditions.

What has to happen is that we have to convert in the redzone. Penalties cannot happen in the redzone and more imagination is required. Cannot run three times up the middle then throw a fade. We need higher percentage passes on 1st or 2nd down in the redzone.

If we do better in the redzone we win. If not, it'll be another coulda woulda shoulda.

Dolphins will need to do a better job capitalizing in the red zone. Aren't playing an inept offense like today in Pitt. I mean, watching the Jets offense was painful. Fun, but painful. There were numerous groans from us in the crowd in that first half after seeing the Jets offense play some of the worst offense I've ever seen yet watching Dolphins only scoring 6 points because of blunders (tipped INT, missed FG, 3rd/4th and goal stuffed and missed pass). And it was 3-0 right up until before Geno sent us that gift before the Half. The game should've been 30 or 33-3.

Steelers also get extra rest. Hope Steratore isn't the ref. Not capitalizing killed us against TB, BAL, and BUF. Must do score some TDs in Pitt or hope the defense can get momentum.

Thigpen better keep an eye on the sidelines.

Just finish our drives and take care of the football and we can beat the Steelers. I think this one is a must win if we want to control our own destiny.

talent-wise, we were just better than the jets. i'd say we are pretty equal with the steelers on talent, so this game will come down to coaching. the big question is, do you think our coaching staff can outperform theirs? i cant lie, i am very worried in that area.

well Coyle has played. Ben 19 times head to head, I'm pretty sure that can give us an advantage.

possibly. i just have no confidence in mike sherman, so i am very worried about this game. big ben is not geno smith or some bum qb, the steelers are going to put up points. we cannot afford to have sherman call dumb plays in key moments. field goals wont win this one.

Beechum was starting to play well. Valasco made me think pouncey who?

I'm reading some of their fan boards..

The sentiment is that valasco was playing so well they were willing to let Pouncey walk..

Their *****ing about Ike Taylor as well, early thirties, they say he's havin a bad year.
