The turnover ration suprised me (Phins -5... Bills+8). That could come to haunt us. And then also I noticed Gilmore is starting aside Chambers. I missed last game... Hows he playing? I'd personally prefer Welker, but I dont know much about Gilmore...
Anybody wanna fill me in?

I think Welker is doing a great job in the slot and Gilmore has show flashes that he can be a good receiver. The turnover ratio is surprising to me too. I knew we weren't very good this year. Turnovers seem to go hand in hand with the lack of discipline we have show on both sides of the ball.

Exactly, just look at the penalties... we gave the Jills 6 free firstdowns last game! Not counting the additional 12 penalties. Hopefully we have improved on discipline from last game!

If you look back in Dolphins history, under Shula the years that we were the least penalized team, we also generally lead in turn over ratio. It goes back to playing a mental game and it's somethat that Saban has preached but not been able to get players to execute yet.

The game has to be instinctual in that all reactions to possible outcomes have to already be part of the player. The games moves too fast for a player to 'wing it' as we seem to have been doing thusfar.
 
Very true. I think its going to interesting to see what Saban does in the offseason... Whether he backs up his comments on restructuring (dont like saying rebuilding) this team into his own ideal players, or whether he just works with what he has. By that I mean, there's obviously some players on the team that don't have the right attitude to it all or else your wouldn't hear about players and coaches commenting on it. I hope Coach keeps his backbone and gets rid of those players ( AND KEEPS T.O. OUT). It's going to be one of the first offseasons that I'm really looking forward to pay attention to.

But back to the game... I really hope Coach decides to run the ball ALOT more than he has been this year. Go ahead and give Ronnie and Ricky 35-40 carries instead of relying on the passing game too much like we have been. If we stay smart (few penalties and turnovers), run the ball, and contain McGahee... the Bills should be a team we should slaughter... Buuuuuttttt the Dolphins have a tendency of doing exactly the opposite of what needs to be done haha
 
Which is in worst shape... our secondary? or the bills DLine...
 
Hey NewEra13.
