Boy they look legit. 5th overall in both offense and defense, outscoring teams by 10 points per game. They could challenge for the division title this year. Tierod Taylor doesn't have to do much but he seems to be able to move the chains when he has to. What's our game plan for Sunday?
 
Block on offense and tackle on defense. The rest will take care of itself. We're really going to miss Reshad in this one though. Planning to shut down the run game and actually doing it are two different things. At least it's a home game.
 
Same story we heard last week about the Steelers.
 
Bills opponents have a record of 16-19 all season. Dolphins opponents are 19-17. Just to be fair. The Bills have a way of making you think they're something special early in select seasons. Regardless of that, the Phins needs to play sound to win Sunday.
 
Game plan: Make Tyrod run to left side, do not allow him to be the difference in the game by running the rock, Offense: Run Run Run, but run to the outside so they can chase Ajayi in this heat.
 
There's not one offensive skill player we should fear. They play ugly football--On offense they pound you and on defense they try to do the same. IF we contain the run, keep their QB in the pocket and don't turn the ball over we should have an opportunity to win. Could be a field goal battle.

looks like this is what the Ravens did against them. I have to say, I am still a fan of that kind of ball because you almost always have a chance to win. Of course if you get down by a few scores you are in trouble but it's hard to get that kind of jump on a team that plays this way.

Cardinals aren't the powerhouse they were last year. Still don't have a consistent pass rush and Palmer has hit a wall.

Patriots that game we're starting a bad qb.

Cardinals are still in the conversation for playoffs and super bowl.

Patriots beat us with a bad qb and it was in New England.

I'll let Greg Cote from the Miami Herald tell you what our chances our (hint: they're not good historically)
Dolphins’ playoff drought explained: a franchise not takin’ care of business

The Miami Dolphins play their first division home game of the season on Sunday, which, naturally, calls to mind the annoyingly infectious 1974 Bachman-Turner Overdrive hit song, “Takin’ Care Of Business.”

Why? Simple. For NFL teams the concept of taking care of business primarily means two things. 1) It means winning within your division, because those games make up almost 40 percent of your regular-season schedule and the results pretty much count double. And 2) it means protecting your home field, or taking advantage of what is supposed to be your advantage.

Miami has not lately done either of those things well. The Dolphins have not been taking care of business where they most fundamentally must, and it explains why the team, at 2-4 entering Sunday’s home date with Buffalo, is on pace for an eighth straight season out of the playoffs.

Let us quantify:

Since 2009, when the ongoing postseason drought began, Miami’s record in division games has been 17-26 (.395), which ranks 26th among 32 teams and last in the AFC East. The division breakdown is 7-7 vs. the Jets, 6-8 vs. the Bills and 4-11 (including a loss earlier this season) vs. the nemesis Patriots.

The Fins’ overall home record since then is 27-31 (.466), which ranks 25th overall and last in the division. In the paramount test of division games at home, Miami is only 10-11.

One more. The Dolphins since 2009 are 16-32 (.333) in games immediately following a win, indicative of a team unable to create (let alone sustain) momentum. That ranks 30th in the NFL, last in the division.

All three of these things are in play Sunday here as the Dolphins are at home, vs. Buffalo, following a victory.

It is the perfect opportunity for this franchise to either stay in its rut or to make a declaration and do what it has not been doing for a long time: Takin’ care of business.

Without Watkins and McCoy, there's no reason we should lose this game.

Without Brady and Gronk there was no reason we should have lost to the Patriots either, right?

WAT? :bobdole:

Different on so many levels. We were in NE, they have significantly better coaching. They had Blount and they had a much better receiving corps than Buffalo. Arguably a better D, too.
