Dion Jordan plzzz
If we have to go to Denver, at least we're going there off a long week and a win. For us to have any chance we have to get constant pressure on manning with our front 4.
Manning really struggled against the 0-9 Raiders (My 2nd favorite team) throwing 2nd interceptions in the 1st half

Get to Peyton and we have a very good chance.

Sure hope so. I really believe we match up well against them. Shut down the big / blown plays and play our game at our pace.

Jordan is still a tad late off the snap. Maybe he is playing slow simply because he is processing his responsibilities, but it is noticeable.
I hope he begins to play faster. I do like the little I have seen from him.
Btw, I have not heard McCain's name much. Anyone know what is going on with him? Is his injury still lingering?

Been inactive. Presuambly still nagging injury I guess.
I don't know, the Dolphins can't make the same mistakes on offense. Manning will make them pay everytime. This is certainly the best Dolphins defense Manning has faced since the JT/Thomas days.
But I promise I won't get mad if they lose... (I said that before the Packers and Lions games...before they led with a minute left and failed to stop them on D or burn the clock on offense...) Would love to shock everyone though!

Aside from this upstart Manning the Bronco's are freaking loaded talent wise on both sides of the ball. Going to be a huge challenge but I know the boys will go in there looking for a win, not just a good showing. Our boys play hard all game long.
Hopefully it is a cold afternoon; Manning has a losing record in games under 40 degrees I believe.
How does Denver's O/D Line compare to Buffalo, Detroit, etc?

Miller and Ware can legit get after the QB.
Don't forget this though: The Broncos have a Top 5 defense, #1 rush defense. Its not all Manning. Won't be easy for the offense. Need a perfect game.

Zach Thomas would be better.
I remember reading Manning said Zach was the defender who gave him the most trouble in his career.
Taylor and Thomas would be great to have on hand, but it was Lorenzo Bromell who broke Manning's face.
A little.
If the Dolphins play against the Broncos the same as they did against Green Bay and Detroit, teams ranked in the top 10 of NFL power rankings, we have a good chance to win. Both of those loses came in the final minutes of the game.
If the defensive front 4 can get consistent pressure on Manning, I dont see Denver racking up a ton of points but on the flip side of that coin, if the offense cant get the ball into the endzone and we settle for field goals, we're not going to fair very well.
I say we're going to have to score AT LEAST 30 to have a chance to win

It was beautiful too.

There is no logical reason to believe we will win this game...but OTOH, this is just the sort of game we sneak in and win once a season or so, historically. I don't know why, but I have a gut feeling we might pull this one out.
As bad as the last decade has been for us, imagine if we still had to play Manning twice a year along with Brady. That would've been way worse. Too bad we never put together a good enough team to take advantage of the realignment and allowed the Pats to be the dominant AFCE team.
The only way we will win this game is to pressure Manning and get him out of his comfort zone. Otherwise he might pick us apart. He has too many weapons.
