Like it says guys and girls. Here me out, 5 straight years losing to this team, their talent is depleted and this team has been getting lucky all year long. If we lose this game, i really feel we're not turning the corner. It's almost getting to the point where they can throw 53 guys on a field and just beat us. Yeah Brady and bellicheck have everything to do with it but this MUST end on Sunday. Do you guys even want to make the playoffs if we lose this game? What's the point, it would be one and done. We SHOULD beat this team on Sunday, if not this will be a devastating loss. We're about to find out if this is truly a different dolphin team or if its the same ol phins.
 
if we lose this game, we r the same old fins.

there is no ****ing reason why we should ****ing lose at home to a depleted pats team, a pats team that lets be real, despite there 10-3 record, is not playing very well, especially in the 1st half of games, there offense looks worse than the jets, lol.

if the dolphins want to be taken seriously, u ****ing win this game. good teams win games like this one. if we lose, we r frauds, and to me personally, we r the same old fins. get teased, but at end of day, cant come through when it matters most.
 
I agree 100% man? To me the records of these two teams could easily be swapped.
 
I think it is about the Fins winning 2 of the last 3. Go 9-7 and it is progress going fwd.
 
If you want to be the best you have to beat the best. An old cliche but very true.
 
I say that since Miami dominated NE in the first half of the previous game, then that tells me that they have enough talent on the field to win. The coaching staff had BETTER correct whatever problem they had that caused them to be shut out in the second half. If Miami loses to the Pats again, then this coaching staff needs to go!
 
going 9-7 and making the playoffs is clearly improvement and shows we are turning the corner. However beating the Pat's going 10-6 on a hot streak into the playoffs shows that we are at the apex of that corner and we are a team to be taking serious. I think this team is hot right now and I dont see a reason why we lose this game. Trust me we go 3 for 3 going into the playoffs with the 5 game win streak and facing ciny or indy 1st round...... LOOK OUT!!!!!
 
This is it. This is what you have built this team for. Despite everything, its right there for them. You got the team you're chasing in your house with the season on the line. This is absolutely a franchise making game. This win will, especially if it leads to a playoff birth, cement the head coach and QB.
 
I'm happy with 9-7, playoffs or not, thats what I expect at the end of the season. 8-8 and someone best get canned. Having said that, if you beat the Pats, I'm reminded of the scene in Platoon. "you get out of this place, and everything, for the rest of your life is gravy man, gravy"
 
I believe a victory over the Pats (followed by victories over the Bills and Jets) sets the tone for this franchise in the TYannehill/Philbin era. If this team wins out and gets into the playoffs (and even win one) it will give them the confidence that they are one of the top teams in the NFL, that the AFC east isn't the Pats to lose, but a battle between the Phins and Pats. You can see how confidence has changed how the team plays over the last couple of weeks...momentum, attitude, and confidence are as important as talent....
 
Is it a franchise CHANGER? I don't know. But if Tannehill out performs Brady, I think that's a hell of a statement as to the future of the AFC east
 
It can be a statement for sure. Changer possibly. Our arrow is clearly pointing up and a win Sunday followed by two more means we will have to be taken seriously from now on.

I like that people are now texting me and calling me as their only fin fan friend to talk about the Fins. So I'd say its changing already.
 
IMO,

This game has the potential to be a franchise changer.

This could be the game that solidifies Tannehill and the Dolphins as a force for the next 10+ years. This could also be the game that shows Brady and the Patriots era is coming to an end.

Then again, we could get blown out and it's the same ol same.
 
****! When can't I just go to sleep tonight and wake up Sunday 3 hrs before game time (gotta pregame). Saturday is gonna kill me with anticipation. I better tell the kidos to get yeady for some serious snow fun on Saturday during the day and the wife to get ready for some serious playtime Saturday night.
 
Their first playoff win will be a franchise moment. Beating the Pats just shows progression
