The more I think about it, why not?

Brady vs his nemesis team.

Super Bowl champs vs the team that comes into the season with the most positive momentum talk.

Tua getting his year 2 coming out party with all his new toys vs a vaunted defense.

Word is the Bills vs Tampa might be week 24 and that Tampa won't open vs the Cowboys either.

It just makes perfect sense.
 
There are match-ups that make better sense for the NFL.
Buccs - Bills and Bucs - Cowboys would be better match-ups for the national stage

Ill bet that we play the Bills or Pats away in the snow week 18... find out tomorrow.

According to this the Bills will play the Bucs 12/12 at 4:25.



Lots of talk that the Cowboys won't be in that opener either.

All talk until its confirmed. Its just my opinion that Bucs vs Dolphins doesn't have the national appeal that the match-ups you originally mentioned would have.
As a fan I want to see us play them week one. It would be great for the fins but while our "perception" nationally might be on the rise its not prime time yet...
 
I def do not want to play Tampa week 1. Much prefer to play teams where the offenses haven't had time to gel yet like ours. I like our D in those situations.

If we play any juggernaut offense (Bucs, Bills, Ravens, Titans) early in the season, those are likely games we lose if we play a shootout. Rather we play some of these guys later to give Tua some time to get acclimated in there. My guess is we start the season relying VERY heavily on ball control and good defense. Hopefully we can evolve by December into a more opportunistic offense.
 
We're Tom Brady's nemesis? He's 23-12 vs Miami. Just because we're a little better vs him than the Bills and Jets doesn't really say much. Not exactly raising the bar much there.

vs Jets: 29-7
vs Bills: 32-3

God, I'm glad he's in the NFC now.

All teams vs Brady

I also heard on the Buffalo radio station 550 WGR that the Bills open the season at New England. So Miami won be playing New England opening Sunday.
 
I want to play the Jets week one.

Storyline makes sense with two up and coming young QB in a division rivalry.
 
I'd like to play Houston week 1. They should be terrible, as I don't expect Watson to be available, and since we have started the last two seasons off with sloppy football, we would still have a chance to win.

There was no doubt he struggled more and even the fans feared the Dolphin games more...
