"It's going to be fun," safety Reshad Jones said. "It's a challenge. This what you play the game for, these type of games. I think it's going to be a great atmosphere, great time of the season. It's our time to go out, make our plays and make a statement."

"We just have to try to throw him off of his game early, try to get pressure on him and try to hit him as much as we can and force him to make bad throws," said Dolphins defensive end Olivier Vernon, whose 51/2 sacks are second on the team. "We've just got to get off the ball, time the snap and make sure we get pressure on him all game long. He has a very good line that's protecting him and he's a future Hall of Famer and we've got to throw all types of things at him that he wouldn't expect and mix it up."

WHAT TO WATCH FOR

Hold Him Tight (End)

Presuming he's healthy and ready to go after the ankle injury last week, Denver's Thomas is a nightmare matchup for any defense. Against the Dolphins, curtailing his production will be the responsibility of linebacker Philip Wheeler underneath and safety Reshad Jones over the top. Miami employed that approach against San Diego's Antonio Gates and held him to three catches for 28 yards.

Crack Open a Miller

Miami tackle Dallas Thomas is a 6-foot-5, 306-pound behemoth, but he'll have his giant hands full when lined up against Denver linebacker Von Miller, who's putting together yet another high-quality season. Miller has averaged a sack a game and is athletic and strong enough to stay on the field to defend the run as well. Thomas allowed two sacks to Buffalo's Mario Williams last week, so he'll need help.

OVERALL ANALYSIS

If you base your selections on momentum, Miami is an easy call. Though the Dolphins are a game behind in the standings, they've been far better over the last three weeks and are just eight points shy of having won seven consecutive games. Not to mention that they play defense well and can at least hang in with Manning and Co. on offense. Score one for cross-country confidence.

Sports Network predicted outcome: Dolphins 27, Broncos 24

Did anyone watch the rams game? lol

If that OL is a problem like Schlereth says, with this defense, then I dont know what to tell you people.

They are worried. And denver's pass rush was non existent against NE. Thats not the same team lately.
 
Becareful! Dont ask for more than you can chew.
 
No expectations this weekend. We're a good team with all to prove; they're a good team, SB team, with a QB that has proven all. I have every confidence we can not only push them, but win the game. If we lose but make a good account of ourselves then I'm okay. If we win, it'll be nothing more than a win that we all knew we are capable of anyhow.

The only disappointment will be an effortless defeat and I don't believe this team does this.

I see a high scoring game. My concern is Clay may not being able to go, not that he's a beast or anything but it's one less weapon for THill on the road with an injured Oline. If that's the case we could lose a close one. We have momentum but that's a tough place to win and Peyton is Peyton and their defense can pressure also. Our Oline did a good job against a very good Buffalo front, but can they keep it up?

Sorry, but I just don't see us winning this game.

Agreed. I know its an unpopular opinion, but I can't see it. Maybe an objective fan would see it differently, maybe the matchup is favorable, maybe I'm just jaded. Ill plan for the worst and hope for the best.
 
It is not like Manning sucked against the Rams. LOL. Great QB…he will just choke in the playoffs in Foxboro.

Really, a lot of good Peyton did against the Rams. He's great but he's not a machine and he does bleed.

Its not a sin to look at these games objectively. We will be the underdogs, and rightfully so. In the regular season, at home, Peyton is undeniably the greatest QB this game has ever seen. We are a young team on the road in a very hostile environment with a less than spectacular record against teams with a winning record. This team has much to prove, the Broncos are proven. Im not saying a win isn't possible. I don't think anyone said that. I'm just saying I don't see it.

I'm not disagreeing with you, the only way we do win is with constant pressure. If we don't get that we lose. But the one great thing we do is constant pressure. I'd like to think we have a good shot to win. So although I'm on the fence here, I still like our chances.
