Raiders have not scored more than 23 points.
This team is in complete dissaray with half the team wanting out
Qb, Oline problems. Mcfaddens turf toe injury. Justin Fargas ripped us a new one last year.

Dolphins on a high, winning three straight, back over .500 for the 1st time in 3 years, with a huuge game vs. the Patriots in 2 weeks...

With all that said, could this be the game that brings the Fin nation back to Earth. I am a diehard fan and am no way implying we are going to lose but this is as big as a trap game gets. One of the biggest games in the last decade coming in two weeks so this one might be overlooked.

Haha how ironic.. I work front desk at a hotel and as I'm writing this, none other than Mark Duper walks up to check in.. freaky... Go Fins
 
We barely beat a bad Seahawks team last week. I don't think we will take Oakland lightly, especially after what they did to us last year.
 
It's going to be hard for the team to go practice and play their best next week. I am glad that we just squeeked out last game. That might motivate our players more next week. Imagine what our mindset would be like next Sunday if we blew out the Seahawks.
 
The Seabirds was a major hurdle in that we won at home in a game we were supposed to win. Not an easy task for young teams learning how to win. That said, I feel good about this game. We should beat them by at least a TD setting up a rematch of week 3 for quite possibly the division lead. Who would have thought that after week 2?
 
i want this team to play as if it was last year, hungry and willing to get that one win no matter who it is or what it takes. they need to stay humble and stay focused on the task at hand. a big head weighs to much and hard to control, it will ultimately cause your demise. stay focused fins!!!
 
They haven't scored a TD in their last 3 games.....

I really don't think this is going to be a tough game.
 
The game in between NE and Buffalo (St. Louis), depending on what happens, is the biggest trap game on our schedule. This one is pretty big as well. If we stuff Oaklands ground game, we win. If they have success running the ball it will be another Seattle game. Hopefully we play mistake free and give them nothing. When we give a team stuff it's tough.

Baltimore pick 6 loss
Houston punt return for TD loss
Seattle pick 6 almost loss

We need to force Oakland to beat us and we should win. These crappy teams get harder to beat as the season goes on. I truly believe as bad as things are going for them when they step on the field they want to win. The likes of Oakland, St. Louis, KC and SF would all love to knock off a playoof team. These are not automatic wins, if this team is any good it should winn all 4 but it won't be easy.
 
For some reason, I am just nervous about this game. Hopefully I am just over thinking it. One of the reasons that scares me is that we all think its going to be a gauranteed victory, and I can't remember the last time that happened. (well I mean other than last week)
 
I'm actually slighlty concerned about the game. Here's the thing, we are a much improved team from last year...no doubt. But are we really at the level where you can just pencil in wins over bad teams? We are still in a rebuilding mode despite the "playoff push" and we aren't far removed from being that bad of a team ourselves. I guess my point...I just don't assume we will beat all the bad teams or teams perceived as being worse than us.

With that said...we still win. :up:
 
Just the fact that we play NE next week, I think this team might be overlooking this game a bit and because of that I think we squeek by the raiders.

Mark Super Duper. I remember the good old days of the Marks Brothers. Awesome!
 
The result of the Seahawks game will have this Dolphin team even more prepared. It is nice that we have come so far as a team that "trap" games exist again. :)
 
I think if we would of blown out Seattle then yeah this could be a trap game because we would be overlooking the Raiders, but since it was a close game I think they will be ready for it.
