i guess you don't follow the pats that much because we never suffer a let-down...our coaching staff is too good.

You're forgetting that Scott Pioli is going to convince Cam to trade us Ronnie Brown for an 8th round pick and a bag of pumpkin seeds before next weekend.

Damn............. It didn't take to long for the 0-6 trolls to arrive. Welcome....

My advice, put the beer down, go to bed, sleep it off. In the morning you'll feel better and start coming to the realization that your team is soon to be 0-7. Don't worry, the sun will still come up on Monday though.

Yeah, in any other year, I'd say that Miami will have it's typical "NE surprise" next week, just not this year. We are too potent, and your D is aweful.

I'll just say this... any given Sunday . I'll be there regardless of what happens.

That used to be true. And may one day be true again. But not next week. Not this year. No way, no how. GAME OVER. NOW.

reminds me of the classic exchange between Jim Carrey & Lauren Holly in Dumb & Dumber...

Lloyd: What are the chances of a guy like you and a girl like me... ending up together?
Mary: Well, that's pretty difficult to say.
Lloyd: Hit me with it! I've come a long way to see you, Mary. The least you can do is level with me. What are my chances?
Mary: Not good.
Lloyd: You mean, not good like one out of a hundred?
Mary: I'd say more like one out of a million.
[pause]
Lloyd: So you're telling me there's a chance.

Welcome aboard.

Don't listen to all these guys. I'll give you the ultra top-secret way for the Dolphins to beat the Patriots. Have your coach and three or four of your best players run their mouths in the media all week about the Pats only winning because they are cheating!

That rattles the Patriots and takes them off their game every time.

Don't tell anyone I told you!

I think the Dolphins have a chance to win next week if....

Cam orders Dolphins security to put a padlock on the door of the Patriots locker room while the players are inside and let them out at halftime

That should at least give Miami a chance to get a head start on the scoreboard before the Patriots hit the field for the first time in the 3rd quarter.

Pats probably still win.

Defense
Make Brady throw 4 interceptions and fumble it twice. How you do this is left as an exercise to the reader. Return at least two of these for touchdowns.

Offense
The Patriots will be trying to stop Ronnie Brown from the outset. Get him 300 all-purpose yards regardless. Most effective will an inside iso play in which Brown retreats into the end zone, stiff-arms 10 Patriot defenders in succesion, then runs up the right sideline for long gains. Run this play constantly, even when in the Patriots' half of the field. In obvious passing situations, simply throw deep jump balls to Booker and Chambers. You'll win if you complete more than 30% of these throws. Interceptions will simply be written off as pooch punts.

Special Teams
Onside kick it every time. You'll win if you recover greater than 50% of these. And don't worry about the short field: you're making Brady turn it over 6 times, remember? Also, Jay Feely must continue to be perfect. 7 for 6 perfect.

Coaching
Figure out a scheme to get you out of this god forsaken division and into a cushy SEC coaching gig.

Deus Irae

You are absolutely correct. Any team in the NFL is capable of beating any other team in the NFL. Sadly, the people responding to you are acting overconfident and should know better. I'm sure Belichick remembers all the trouble your team has traditionally given the Patriots down in Miami.

I think the "Cleo Lemon is our starter" scenario really hurts your team, though. As Anderson of the Browns found out, Belichick has the ability to cross up inexperienced players, and this often results in extra turnovers. Unless Brady decides to have his annual 4 pick game against the Dolphins, ball control and time of possession will be essential if Miami is to pull off the upset.
