The Dolphins will be 1-0.

so its hot

so it's 100 degrees

and we are more conditioned and used to it, great.

BUt u cant win when u cant move the ball.
 
our D will shut them down and they will slow our offense down! low scoring game but we take it 16-10
 
We WILL take this game! The 1 time that we game planned for a team we drove it right down there throat!Expect that for 4 qrts now.
 
[QUOTE='Phins & 'Canes]raving, score?[/QUOTE]

Hard to say really. We fans know so little about what our team will look like when Saban plays for keeps. I think it will be low scoring though - 16 - 13 Miami of course.
 
Ive been right about alot of things too. Not all my thoughts though. But I have also been wrong as well. But I nailed AJ Feeley to the wall. I guess that makes me a Gusketeer. How sad.

The ball will move at times because Linehan doesnt play WAD BALL. But if Mcmicheal, Chambers, and Booker drop passes and the OL jumps offsides and holds all day, we wont move squat. I tend to think it will be more like the TB game than the other games for obvious reasons which alot of people on this board cannot seem to identify.

now that is magnetic optimism...

while i do like Miami at +5.5, i just don't see a victory happening against this Top 5 defense... save for one drive, our offense just didnt look crisp right now, and it will take a few weeks... you can say the preseason means "less than zero," but 19 pre-snap penalties is really troubling...

i love our defense, and we could hold them down and maybe get a break with special teams or something, and win 13-10...

but i just see our offense in big trouble Sunday... i hope i'm wrong and will be pleasantly surprised...

i will say this.. i'd rather overachieve than the countless underachieving teams of 10+ years ago...

Lesser Miami teams have kicked the snot out of better teams in early September. If it's sunny and hot, Miami wins by double digits.

i'd love to see it happen, but i think you guys are being overly optimistic. our offense is too weak to do anything against their defense, especially our pass offense being so weak... champ bailey won't help that. we might be able to run a bit, but I don't see us completing 18 passes. Defense will play well as expected, but in the heat, we'll tire out after their class A o line works us all game. in the 4th quarter they'll take over.


23-13 Denver.

You are giving Denver too much credit. Have you been watching the Phins in Sept over the years? Denver will not be used to the heat and humidity.
Miami will come out with something to prove.
We also have only seen glimpses of Ronnie Brown. He was hardly used at all in the passing game during preseason. Expect to see him more involved out of the backfield.

We played fine in Arizona in the last pre-season when temp were at 98.

Dont' forget Shanny is one of the best on opening day. I see us taking advantage of your d-line's inability to stuff the run. Use lots of checkdowns misdirections, bootleggs and playaction. Establish the run and go with deep balls to Lelie to stretch the field. I also see a lot of button hooks thrown to Lelie early to dimminish the cushion, and then the go route.

Defensively not worried about the run game. Our LB's are very good. More worried about the TE position. Use key blitzes on Nickle with Darrent Williams and Chuckwara. Bailey held Chambers to 54 yards last year. So i'm not worried about that. And just as your T. Danniels has been looking good, so has Darrent Williams our nickle. I'm interested to see that match up with Boston. I think he should be ready b/c he held his own going agaist Harrison and Andre Johnson in pre-season. Other than TE, I worry about special teams. Our coverage has been struggling for the last few years. Wes Welker has good insticts and I see him with a 50, and 40 yard return.

The team that will turnover the ball most will win. My prediction is a 23-13 Broncos win. With Anderson rushing for 125 yards on 26 carries. Plummer will throw for 210 yards. And the defense will give up 220 yards with 2 sacks.
 
they reported on nfl total access that jerry rice gave the whole bronco team a great pep talk..... this should pump up the broncos but we still win 24-20

What could he have possibly of said? He couldn't crack the Top 3 in Denver (I know, Lelie is good).

Players have to have confidence in themselves, not depend on other folks IMO
 
I agree I hate the donkeys, but I seriously dont see you guys taking this one

20-3 Denver
 
Let's hope the Phins can run on the ex- Browns D-Line the same way that the Ravens used to with Jamal Lewis! He had some moster games against them.
 
I'm optimistic but the fact that we have a troubling Qb position, I see it being a mainly defensive game specially on our end, our d will have to make plays, sacks and int's. Hopefully our special teams will do some magic and help us score 1 or 2 touchdowns. I see it as a 10/13 poing game either side. Hopefully we'll take it in for our first game.

Yeah except G. Warren was the only Brown who played in those 2 games against the Ravens....so that doesn't hold much weight. That paired with the Broncos always have a top 5 rushing defense.
