Ok, sometimes it is a lot easier to dissect the Dolphins strengths against a team by thinking about how you would strategize against those strengths as the opposing coach.

What are Miami's real and proven strengths on O and D?

What poses a threat to KC's O and D?

Let's see what we all think as Coach Reid.
 
KC is averaging 4.6 yards a carry. establish that and run the pass off it. dont play to our defense's strength.

take care of Parker on D and limit the exposure of the TEs in coverage by staying ahead in down and distance.
 
As the stronger team, I wouldnt change my strategy one bit... i mean if it aint broke, dont fix it. If they start running more, it will just lower the amount of points they put on the board, why would they do that?

Belichek tried to do that against the Fins last season final game, went all nuts to try and run the Fins over and lost...

When you have the better team by a wide margin, you do what you do...
 
I don't think AR needs to adjust to us as much as we need to adjust to them. The first thing we better not do is turn the ball over. We do that and the game will get ugly for us real quick. When there's a chance to make a play then we better make it. Tua can't miss an open receiver(if they actually get open for a change) receivers can't drop passes. O-line can't miss blocks and the defense can't miss tackles. Those are things that will need to happen in order to have a chance.

7 of KC’s wins this year were by one score. 3 of those games were wins by 3 points or less (and 1 was by 4 points). Their offense is shockingly average when you take away the splash plays. Especially in the red zone where their only major threat is Kelce. The teams that have played them close make them work for their points by taking away 20+ yard plays and forcing sustained drives. Don’t get me wrong; we can’t completely stop their offense. We can, however, make them work for the points they do score.
 
If I were Andy Reid, I would tee off on the run game and make Tua win the game.
 
We absolutely have to play mistake free football and excel in all phases. No dropped balls, No missed tackles or blown coverages. Tua has to be uncuffed and have his best game by FAR, I kean 300 yards passing and score 30+ points. f we do that and our D is on we have a chance, any miscues and it's over for us. If it's a blowout i'll be sick to my stomach because that means we aren't close to playing with the big boys and Tua isn't progressing quite like I'd hoped.

There's one quote that I love football-wise, but can't remember who said it. Jimmy Johnson maybe.

Something like...we're not taking what the defense gives us, we're taking what we want.

I think that applies to KC. They are at that level.

I hear you but the thing is, you can't take away those splash plays that they've had in all those games. Also, when a team win so many close games it shows you that they know how to win.
 
First I would evaluate my diet like I’d probably have done 100’s of times already. Oh the game, I expect lots of nickel and dime from Miami, I’d run them out of it. Once I do that the Dolphins are off balance all day long. If we go base I’m attacking with the passing game. Defensively I’m moxing up coverage and pressures trying to confuse Tua and make him hold it like he did vs Denver.
 
I would give the Dolphins defense a good dose of Edwards-Helaire and than once the defense is tired after being on the field too long bombs away to Hill and Kelce. But more importantly I would transfer some funds into my account.
