Reality check. We can't. Not without X. I loved the win last week obviously but when has this team ever followed up a huge (although incredibly lucky) win like that by coming out and preforming well in a must win game. They are going to get trampled gutted and embarrassed like always. Sorry to be a debbie downer but its the truth. I will be betting heavily on a Vikings cover. MIN 34 MIA 7
 
You probably aren't going to stop them from having big plays and big yardage but this team has a great record in one score games. Hopefully they can continue to keep teams out of the end zone enough to overcome. We didn't stop Brady, Gronk and Edelman but we won the game. We didn't stop Josh Allen but we won the game.

The offense has been clicking a lot better. Tannehill is playing his best ball and his confidence should be sky high right now. Not to mention that Gase should be more confident in him (and the WR's & RB's) and let him open it up. As long as the rest of the team keeps making plays, we should be in it.

NE has the 6th ranked offense (ppg) in the league and they held them to 6 points in the second half. The Vikings have the 20th ranked offense. It's just going to depend on that given day, how they execute and limit stupid penalties at critical times.
 
i think im finally a full-fledged dolphin fan. i truly expect to get steamrolled at Minn after a great win that put us in good position to succeed.

As always, protect the QB and have some semblance of a D and we’ll have a chance.
 
Same way we stopped the Pats O with a mediocre defensive lineup - score a lot of points

Name one game this year where the Dolphins has successfully applied pressure. Burke is incapable of doing it and in the Wide 9 no less. Unbelievable.

Was it Cincinnati? Jerome Baker had two sacks on blitzes and the DLine got some good pressure.

Of course we couldn't finish when Dalton threw that TD pass, but we were all over him.
 
According to Burke, you just have to make sure the short passes don't turn into big plays - so, he'll keep our corners 7 yards off and Minny can carve up zone all game long while we hope for a screw up - same ole, same ole.

The four man rush seems non-exisitent and we are one of the worst in the leagues in sacks. I'm not sure how we are on hurries but it's all we need against Cousins.

Also, the Vikings have pretty much said they are going to run more than ever on Sunday before so I assume Burke has paid attention to that noise
 
We have to put pressure on Cousins and then control the clock on offense to limit the opportunities and keep the D as fresh as possible.
