@Panthers, @Bills are must wins for Patriot rematch to mean something

[phinfreak]

IF...we can eek out a win against an improving and stout Panther team, then go to Buffalo and kick them while they're down...the rematch vs Pats could be for #1 in the division.

If Pats lose to Saints that will make them 7-4, we could be 5-5 if we win vs cats.

If we beat Buffalo we become 6-5, going into home game vs a probably 7-4 Patriot team assuming they lose to either Jets or Saints.

If we beat Pats, both teams are 7-5 and tie breaker goes to us (at that moment) since we swept the Jets and Pats will probably have split the series.

This is a crucial time in our schedule.

Our depth has to perform...and the WC still needs to be on the field even without RB.

exactly.

And it's not looking so good. We struggled to win vs. a lowly Buccaneers team. The Panthers look like they have snapped out of their funk, and to top it off, we lost Ronnie Brown for at least this week.

We need to stay afloat in order to take 1st place in the AFCE and make the playoffs.

Yes but for some reason we always have problems with Tampa Bay. I'm just glad to get out with a win and never thought this trap game was gonna be easy. Henne needs to get a little smarter but I dont see that happening. His accuracy is still not there. I hope it comes this week.

True.

We need a new wrinkle. Not just in the WC, but in the passing game.

Also, on defense, if there ever were a QB we could just risk the all out blitz this is it.

We will have to win this game via our D...turnovers via INT's and fumbles.

On O, we need to dominate in the running game but we must have the subtle wrinkle in the passing game i.e. Sperry perhaps?

But on D, we need to knock their interception machine in the mouth early. Get them out of their running game and into a pass happy mode.

Someone needs to send a memo to Pasq. to stop dropping back and only rushing 3 or 4 as soon as the 2nd half starts.

Send a memo to Henning to quit running giveup run plays on 3rd down and stop using PW to waste 2 downs and force Henne to convert 3rd and long.

Agreed. Phins fans also going to the Bills game, get the phins gear out and get fired up..

Carolina is still a winnable game. Dolphins have it easier than the first half the rest of the way. Gotta win all the way to the Pitt game I think to have a real shot at the Playoffs. If they lose 2 the rest of the way out, that's it, playoff chances are done.
