37 attempts and 173 yards rushing and we beat Green Bay

If we ran on them 37 times with good results in the south Florida heat, they will be mush by the end of the 4th.
 
We really haven't used the hurry up too much yet, maybe now is the time to break it out. The keys are what they always have been, to score TDs and have more success on each drive than they have, and limiting turnovers and taking advantage of any turnovers we can make. I do think with the scheme we have on O we should be able to make good yards on the ground, to complement that we need consistency from Tannehill and no drops from the receiver. On D clearly we need to stop the run first and then be able to pressure Rogers, if I was a neutral it would be a fascinating match but as a supporter it is going to be tough to win.
 
GB will throw everything they have into stopping us on the ground.

Yes, we need to run a lot, but we also need to take shots down field to keep them honest.

You can't always impose your will on the other team. You have to take what they give you.

I'm expecting Wallace to have a big day.

173 yards on 37 rushes on an awful rush defense is not good

well that's exactly what Green Bay is averaging giving up a game 4.6 yards a carry and 10 more than they usually give up. This is more yards than any team has given up average wise a game so that would be very good.
 
We should be able to rush for over 6 yards a carry on their weak d. If we do we have a pretty good chance to win. Especially in the heat.
 
As long as we play two halves we should be OK. Unfortunately, we tend to have one strong half and one unproductive half. I don't think we are going to beat Green Bay with a one half performance.
 
So random....

I predict if we score 77 points, we win this game.

This teams is hot. But they have weaknesses.

They do not have a great defense and they can be ran on.

We will want to keep A Rogers off the field so we run the ball...a lot.

We run the ball well (we do run it well, 5.0 a attempt) and our best passing game comes from play action passes. Tannehill seems to be much better at it this season. And keep Tannehill running.

If we run the ball a lot, we win.

Agrees to a point - if we are able to have a balanced attack, we should be able to score early and control the clock. 150 yds rushing could suffice. It would be in Green Bay's best interest to shut down our run early and force Tannehill to excessive pass attempts. And Tannehill should take the run when he has it, as he did vs Oak.
