The Patriots have at least won something. The Jets haven't won anything.

That said, this Sunday's game is HUGE in terms of division implifications. A Dolphins win and we're right there in the driver's seat.

A win for you, and we're royally boned. We'd have to beat both undefeated teams to have a decent shot.

We have two weeks to prepare for it with successful blueprints on stopping it provided by the Dolphins' last two opponents. On top of that, I'm not quite sure their secondary can stop our air attack.

I think Miami will take one from the Pats this season. I just happen to think that it will be in Miami five weeks from now.

Yeah I actually think the game in Miami will be a much better game myself.

The Dolphins always give this Pats team fits, so this will be a tough game.

Have you watched Jason Taylor play this season? I'm not worried about him at all. I'm much more concerned about Cameron Wake, if he sees playing time, and Joey Porter.

Why does miami have no chance at all at the playoffs if they split with the pats. They could win out and be 11-5, winning their only other tough game against PITT. Or they could lose to PITT and be 10-6. Certainly they would have a "chance" at 10-6.

By "no chance" I didn't mean mathematically eliminated. I meant that practically speaking, it would be stunning for them to make it back from 3-5 given the current state of the conference. It would require near-perfection from a team with some major holes, AND require a whole lot of other good teams to obligingly start losing.

I for one can't wait for this game. I have always respected you guys as a team and it is always a pleasure to see us playing our best against you guys. I think this will be a close, hard fought game. I think our running game will get going and we will give you quite the scare. Whether we win, I'm not sure.

Time to have fun with that secondary.

You are going to get destroyed, unfortunately.

We swept a team that dominated you.

You don't REALLY believe what you're saying, right?

You'd have to be blind to not see the difference in play by this team since then.

That said, I think the Phish games are the funnest to watch. Should be a good contest, but that Wildcat ain't gonna help if your corners can't stop the pass.
