We're, quietly, 5-1 at home this year. Only Seattle (at 6-0) has a better home record. The familiar surroundings and home crowd could be the difference for us against Arizona!
Ok...THIS could be the difference

That certainly helps, but our win streak also started at a time when our team started to understand the offense and our OL got healthy. And at a time when people weren't really getting up for our 1-4 team that got lucky to barely beat Cleveland and got blown out by Tennesse. Being at home definitely helps, but we had a lot of things coming together for those home wins. Fingers crossed the cross-coast trip hurts the Cardinals play.
I Don't see it as negatively as you do.
I see it as the team played well for 6 straight games....or...at least good enough to win.
The Raven's game is an aberration to me...you can argue they are a better football team....but they are't that much better, and Miami clearly had a letdown game.
As we've discussed, AFC & NFC champions have come out flat numerous times in Superbowl's.
Let's see how Miami responds to a bad game before we bury them...and put more importance on one bad game than it perhaps requires.
I agree it was a let down game. What alarms me is if we play the same defense as last week.
I think Wake is worn down and tired and the LB's are just horrible. No pressure and no coverage.
The Cards will be testing the center of the defense again. They will be successful.
We must out score the Cards because I see no way of stopping anyone.

Lets get those balls deep!!
I agree. Buffalo and the jets didnt come to Miami halfassed, they came looking for blood and got outmatched. The home crowd was our boost, we may not see that same result in buffalo, I have faith wd can still beat the jets this year, they are having a really tough season.
We can only hope that playing at home will give us an edge. It does other teams but I'm not holding my breath. I just don't trust our defense at this point to stop anyone.
Ozzy rules!!

Agree. The streak had to end sometime & Bmore has been Miami's nemesis for sometime.
That said, look at Carolina last yr and this yr. Is that a precursor for Dallas? Only time will tell.
People weren't getting up for us? Had we lost those games, what would have been the narrative I wonder?
None of these wins were unearned in any way.

That's certainly one fair way to look at it. And I'm generally an optimist, but I see this as a must-win game and I would really like to have seen more of a glimpse of the team that beat the Chargers in the last few weeks. Let's both hope you're 100% BlueFin.
