I know we play some of the same teams they do. And I do respect their team, and Brees but they seem to have the luck we had last year with their schedule. I dont fear this team the way many Annalyists do. They are beatable especially at home.

This is one of the reasons why the difficult schedule issue shouldn't be taken so seriously until after the season begins, if then.
 
Look, the Dolphins have played Buffalo plus four tough teams this year: Colts (almost beat them, look like one of the best AFC teams), Atlanta (tough NFC team that I thought we played well but for turnovers), San Diego (losing starting QB tough to win), and the Jests (if not for officials and fake punts we win going away and didn't get turnovers like NO did, Sanchez was coached up after the NO game and was better getting rid of the ball and had Braylon Edwards catching balls).

The Saints played two bad teams (aforementioned Buffalo and Detroit) and a McNabb-less Philly and NYJ (and we must admit they beat them by more than we did). We will know this weekend watching them against NYG whether they are a great team or a good team.

The cool thing about a tough schedule is it makes you tough. Pittsburgh had the toughest sked in the league last year. Yeah, it hurt them. NOT!
 
Saints have an easy schedule because they have a last place schedule. Miami's schedule is starting to look a lot less tough after the NYJ rematch with games vs TB (0-5), @CAR (1-3), @ BUF (1-4),@ JAX (2-3), @ TEN (0-5) vs HOU (2-3)
 
I've been looking at NO stats. Good on offense and defense. We are similar in stats except turnover ratio. I think they are +7 and we are -3.

I will be watching the Giants game very closely because the Giants have the best defense and NO is 2nd to us in running game.

The difference in our game with NO could be the WC. They have never seen it before. They may not care so much about our game too because they have two inter-division games with Atlanta and Carolina at home to follow.

I really cannot see them spending a lot of time figuring out how to stop it. They do have a good D but not sure if they will invest the time for us as they would for others.

Another thing dolphins should consider....Could NO go undefeated? I hope they beat the Giants but in the process get banged up a little.

I think we can beat them and other than Philly they really have not beaten anybody. Jets suck!!!

I guess neither have we....:(
 
I think the Saints are a good team. Sure Detroit and Buffalo suck but you still have to beat them. The Saints have a money offense and the defense is playing well, especially Darren Sharper.

It'll be a good game
 
You 100% correct in your evaluation of the strength of the teams they have played. The teams they played have a winning pct of 0.438 in comparison the teams we played so far have a winning pct of 0.610. Thats a huge difference. However that doesn't mean we will win, not by a long shot. No is going to be able to attack our D's weakness as well as any team we have faced so far.

We're going to need for our secondary to get their act together before this game. I am very confident we will be able to run on them and control the clock so its really going to come down to our D.
 
You know I found this interesting as I was pretty sure the Giants would win this weekend as I was sure they played better teams. Not so lol here is the winning pct of the teams they have played to date 0.240 lol. Man why cant we have that schedule!

As i was saying in the off-season. It's pretty stupid to predict the W-L record of a team months before the season starts, you don't know how good or bad a team is going to be at the time you play them. I don't think many people saw us beating the Titans, or the Titans being an 0-5 team through the first 5 games. Now it's likely we will.
