The unbeaten New Orleans Saints aren't just pounding people.

They haven't even been tested yet in racing out to a 5-0 start behind an offense averaging an NFL-best 38.4 points per game.

The Dolphins, meanwhile, have already played two Monday night games that went down to the final play. Dolphins linebacker Akin Ayodele believes that experience can work to his team's advantage come Sunday.

"We've really faced adversity early in this season," he said. "I think it has put us in a better situation when certain things come about that we're prepared. Mentally we're prepared. We know how to deal with it."

Through five games, the Drew Brees-led Saints have yet to allow their margin of victory to dip below 14 points (24-10 against the Jets). They have yet to trail for even a single one of the 300 minutes they have played.

In fact, the latest any team has even been tied with the Saints was 43 seconds before halftime. The Eagles, after pulling even at 10-10, went on to lose 48-22 at home in Week 4.

Could the Saints blink if the Dolphins drag them into a close game in the fourth quarter?

"That's what we're shooting for: the fact that maybe nobody has pushed them." Ayodele said. "We're not the team that's going to just sit back and let them come on our home turf and push us around."

The BILLS were down 10-7 until 10 minutes left in the game. Funny how people forget that the BILLS play in the NFL.
 
HaahahahhaI feel bad for you Bills fans. Your coach sucks, your management sucks, and you have talent, it's just not used properly.

Having your team in Toronto sometimes makes everyone forget you don't actually play in the CFL but still in the NFL even though you have CFL talent!

I couldn't agree more, but every week I still go into the game with the mindset, "Man, I hope this is the week DJ has his lightbulb moment." And every week, he invents new ways to give the game away. Ironically, if McKelvin doesn't fumble on MNF week one, the BILLS are in a three way tie for first with the tiebreaker over the PATS and JETS. Frustrating to say the least.
 
I think that Patriots loss pretty much killed your team's spirits. It's hard to bounce back from such a tough loss. Hence why Miami lost to San Diego after the MNF loss to Indy.

They beat TB week 2. Granted TB is struggling this year, a win is a win in this league. I think that if there is a loss that is responsible for breaking the teams spirit, it was the CLEVELAND game, and yet we beat the JETS the next week. If DJ doesn't take this team to the playoffs, he has to go.

According to the electronic bill board your teams fans have spoken up about how tired they are of him. And the GM.

The Bills have been irrelevant for a decade and the future doesn't look so bright.
 
I guess that's true, But if you had upset New England, that would've completely changed your season.

I'd have to disagree with ya there. Ten years no playoffs is completely unacceptable, but the level of talent on this team is good. If DJ is gone, it'll depend on who is the new HC. If it's Cowher or Shanny, they can turn them into winners right away. I get the feeling that Ralph is going to opt for a cheaper choice, ala Mike Nolan or someone similar.
 
If we get our running game going and keep Brees off the field, I think we've got a really good shot to pull an upset.
 
It will be a high scoring game and we have a big chance of winning because we did have 2 weeks to work on stopping there offence...
