Good morning fellow Phin fans, coming off a rough night last night watching my Canes get handled on the road and looking forward to todays game.
Before I say anything Id like to extend an apology to MikeO who I got into a pretty heated arguement and said some things I shouldnt have to (still waiting on my warning points for that lol)
Okay now here we go.
Obviously whoever loses todays game is going to be 0-2, and that is not something you want, obviously there are still 14 games left to go after this one but here is a quick breakdown on why this game is important to each team
Why This Game Is Important To Miami: After all the offseason hype about finally getting our franchise QB, how Ronnie Brown was going to rush for 1300+ yards, how Chambers was going to have a breakout season....lets face it we laid an egg on Offense Thursday. Granted it was against last years Superbowl Champion Steelers, but we looked stagnant most of the night. Yes we scored 17 points, but most of them were setup by Wes Welker and the return game, and aside from the long drive before the half (and we still couldnt put it in the endzone) we pretty much did very little to nothing all night. A lot of you will say the secondary needs to get better but that wasnt the main problem Thursday, aside from the breakdown in coverage on the 80+ yard TD and a few stupid penalties they played pretty well, the problem was the lack of rush from our Blitz, everyone who has ever played or watched football knows when you dont get pressure on a Blitz there are less men in coverage and the QB will pick you apart, today is a chance to see what one more weeks worth of gelling can do, on both offense and defense
Why this game is important to Buffalo: Aside from being 0-2 they would drop to 0-2 within the divison, which is definitly not a good thing. Last week they had a chance to maybe make a statement but gave the game away (with a little help from the Refs) and looked like they might be better than everyone is giving them credit for. Their offensive line basically needs a miracle, and to give Losman enough time to be comfortable, and open up some running lanes for Mcgahee
Why Miami might win: Our defensive line should overwhelm their offensive line causing Losman to make some mistakes, on defense Buffalo is starting two rookie safetys, which is a speed upgrade but an experience downgrade. Look for Daunte to have a pretty good game and open up the running game for Ronnie.
Why Buffalo might win: This is a rivalry game, and no matter how it looks on paper it will always be close, Im guessing they will come out intense after feeling like they were robbed out of their last game. If their line can block and Losman plays as well as he did last week Evans could have a field day if our Secondary makes any mental errors.
My prediction: Miami: 27
Bufflao: 20
