Dolphins' Coming Out Party- 12pm 9/30

[LoneStarPhin]

I don't think NE is much right now, but the rest of the country apparently does.

While it's easy to sluff off 3-0, I think this is the game where the NFL fans sit up and realize that Miami is destined for this year's surprise team (there's always at least one, like Jax last year).

I see a dominant performance fueled mostly by our team chemistry in spite of our line issues. Our O will look like a track meet.

The mantle will unofficially pass from NE to Miami on this date.

31-13

Fins have to get their own defense off the field early and often.

I went to Foxborough in 1994 and 1995. Dolphins won both games 20-3 and 23-3. Patriots were playing kinda like they are playing in 2018. Discombobulated and not running on all cylinders. Yes they were without Brady. But Brady as we see can not win by himself.

I'm looking for an ugly low scoring game. Miami is winning on turnovers created and field position. It needs to continue.

Do what you have to do and get to this Sunday’s game. Party like it’s 1995.

Well, lets hope so but this won't be easy at all. Yes we can win and law of average tell us that we'll win up there at some point but make no mistake, if we win this game it'll be very close imo. Keep on mind NE is getting 3 starters on defense back this week including their best pass rusher. On the other hand we lost our best run defender as far as DE's.

 

[Classic]

I don't know how to feel about this game, I've gotten my hopes up only to be crushed. I hope it's different this time.

I think we have the better overall team. We NEED this win in the worst way!

My biggest hope for this sunday is we get Drake and Gore going in the running game. I hope we steam roll the Patriots, I'll be in my glory.

Get to Brady, play man, and have our D-line continue to crush the rush. Our defense has been tasting a lot of success with picks. They will want more. Rattle Brady and make him throw that first int.
I believe the offense will take care of itself.

Agreed! We need a big hit on Brady early. He is such a bitch that he crumbles after a few hits. Plus, he is looking his age now.

I want to believe. For once, it really does seem like the Dolphins might have more playmakers. No one on the Pats D is making game-changing plays. If Flowers and Chung are back, that could change. But the Phins have guys like Quinn, Wake, Alonso, Howard, and hopefully Reshad Jones who are making game-changing plays on D. Sprinkle in Minkah, Godcheaux, and even Phillips and Taylor.

On offense, it’s a similar story. Drake, Gore, Stills, Wilson, Grant....there are quite a few game-changers. The Pats have Gronk.

Regardless, no lead is safe. The Dolphins have to come out playing aggressively. They can’t afford the typical slow start. They were a few inches away from being down 14-0 to the Raiders. That can’t happen again in Foxborough.

 

[Fin Thirteen]

Let's just recall 2016, shall we.

The Fins got absolutely shellacked in a total humiliation by the Titans, having lost already to the Seahawks and heavily to the Bengals. They looked a mess.

We then went on a six game winning streak, starting against the vaunted Steelers. Nobody foresaw us making the playoffs the night we were pummelled by the Titans. But obviously the team had to really break before it could be fixed.

Now look at the Pats. They have a pretty good idea about how to make it to the postseason. Anyone who thinks that they are just going to vanish in a tragic tailspin of doom hasn't been paying attention and doesn't know Belichick.

They're getting some key defensive players back. The only thing that would give me any hope is that Edelman will still be out. But even with that, I can't see past a Patriots win because a) I can't remember how many times I've read the Pats are done, b) our first 4 games in 2016 had absolutely nothing to do with our remaining games, ie good teams can turn around bad spells and c) it's in Foxboro.

I like how we're doing under Gase. We keep winning close games because we don't beat ourselves and because we stay in touch with the opponent. But that doesn't equate to a facile victory over the pre-eminent team in the league, any more than a couple of losses equates to the death of the Pats. I'm not buying.

Here is the easy key to beating the Patriots...When the Patriots are looking like this, and it looks like you may have more talent on both sides, DON'T BEAT YOURSELF!!!

Let the Patriot try to beat you, Let the Patriots try to outwork you, but don't...I repeat DON'T, allow the Patriots to outsmart you into making mistakes, and beating yourself.

This game will become a huge chess game, the whole team including Gase, need to be smart all game, because Bill is going to try many ways to confuse, and aggravate.

Finally just to be on the safe side hire a team of detective team that know the NFL RULES, give them binaculars, and have them look over for anywhere the Pat's in their desperation, might be cheating all game...including handouts to the Refs. :D
