All I hear is how the Ravens are going to dominate us. It's like they see us as a good story but, don't take us serious. We are not the same 1-15 team. We are not the 2007 Browns, who by the way didn't make the playoffs. We are a greatly coached team with above average talent.

For example, look at the 2001 patriots. A patriots team that started out 0-2 and went on to win the division with, might i add, splitting the 2 games with the dolphins. Did i mention miami had the same record? And, what ever ended up happening with that patriots team? They won the superbowl.

So, to the experts who say miami doesn't match up well against the ravens. We didn't match up well against the jets, chargers, or patriots. Yet, will still managed to win!

Come Sunday at 1 I expect us not only to hang in there with the ravens but, WIN convincingly.

We are better coached, yea I said it. We are alot healthier. Plus we have momentum with our winning streak and home field.

Suck one, trent dilfer!
 
I couldn't care less. If I weren't a Dolphins fan, I'd probably pick the Ravens too. Doesn't mean they'll win. If a 10-6 sixth seed can beat an undefeated team in the Super Bowl, anything is possible.

let me give you some info to ease your mind. now this is for a gamblers point of view so take it for whats it worth.

when you have one team (ravens) who are getting all the hype and 90% of the betting public is betting on them and the line isnt moving then you always bet the outher way. so by the number it says miami is the play +3. its such a small number that it points to a straight up win for us. remember vegas dosnt lose to often. this alone makes me feel better about our chances. forget about the matchups follow the money
 
tough to beat the same team twice in a year, tough to do in away twice, tough to do it with a rookie QB in the post season, so if they do win they are better then us right now
 
This will make you feel better, from Vinnie Iyer at SportingNews:

Baltimore Ravens at Miami Dolphins. The Ravens visited South Florida in Week 7, coming away with a rather easy 27-13 rout of the Dolphins. Cam Cameron, who was fired after coaching Miami to a 1-15 record last season and now leads Baltimore’s offense, was especially proud of the result. Now the question is if his rookie quarterback, Joe Flacco, can be Joe Cool with a lot more at stake in the rematch. Cameron also works under a coach, John Harbaugh, who like his Dolphins counterpart, Tony Sparano, led an amazing turnaround in his first season. Both have old-school approaches and are feisty motivators.

The Ravens’ game plan hasn’t really changed from past years: Run the ball and stop the run. They executed that formula to a tee in Week 7. Their defense still has familiar tacklers and playmakers such as Ray Lewis, Ed Reed and Terrell Suggs. Flacco was the missing ingredient, an efficient passer who plays off the run and isn’t under pressure to always lead scoring drives because of the defense.

The Dolphins have needed to be creative to win games. Whether they get into a defensive struggle or a shootout, they rely on winning the field position and turnover battles, keep the game close, and then have Chad Pennington or their defense come through with the game-winning play. Look for Miami to make many adjustments and throw everything in the playbook at Baltimore.

On paper, the Dolphins should lose again to the Ravens, just like they should have had no business finishing ahead of three teams in the AFC East. Something tells me with how hard they fought to improve by 10 games, they want to stick around a little longer. Dolphins 20, Ravens 17.
 
Didn't you get the memo? We're frauds.

At least according to national media outlets who have been picking us to lose/slip up pretty much every week since we hit this stride. So why expect any different Sunday?
 
It's called Probability... Math/Intelligent folks will figure out Ravens is Better than Dolphins in a LOT of ways. The probability is NOT in our favors.

However, Dolphins, to me, this year is more than your average probability. We beat Odds so many times already, it's like Magic/Miracle you know.

I think it's the simple force in Belief and Faith, that drives us beyond the Odds!
 
like others said before, we are not a media darling so who cares.

us against the world
 
How could anyone possibly care about people doubting us now?

Anyone believe John Harabaugh's sleeping easy this week?

He is so full of himself. He is sleeping like a baby with the rest of the Ravens team. Come sunday they will have a very Rude awakening.

I'm curious. This guy says the Phins had no business winning the division. MY question, is this because he and everyone else's predictions of them were the complete opposite?
