Really?? He didn't look so bad after the game last Sunday, whooping it up on the field like they had won the Superbowl. Might want to double-check that.


Actually, the 'phins have NEVER been an automatic out, ever. They ALWAYS play us tough, even at Foxboro late in the year, with snow, wind, and 25 degree weather. For the 'phins beating the Patriots makes their off-season feel like peaches, second only to winning the Superbowl.

The Dolphins are DEFINITELY spoiler material. This is the only thing that matters for their whole season. IF they lose 14 but can beat the 14-0 Pats, they are happy.

This game is NOT a lock by any stretch.

Taylor returned to the game but was on the field sporadically in the fourth quarter and overtime period.

Taylor insinuated the injury isn't serious enough to make him miss his next start, which would give him the outright record for the longest consecutive games played streak in franchise history. He's presently tied with former Dolphins center Jim Langer with 128.

Despite the foot injury, Taylor had one of his best games this season, registering four tackles, two sacks, three quarterback hurries and one pass deflection. This is his sixth season with 10 or more sacks in his 11-year career, and third straight.

Looks like he's playing

Kind of agree on this. Can never overlook a team that has absolutely nothing to lose!!!! They can be very dangerous because they can do totally unexpected, off normal, offensive and defensive looks and attacks. Fake punts, onside kicks, unusual line formations and so on. Just to mess up what you "expect" from them based on past meetings.

They have no reason not to throw away the normal book (especially since their normal book hasn't done a freaking thing for them all year. Could be time to improvise). This is a team to be very wary of in this situation. Tom must be on his toes for this one, don't need a seasons worth of frustration for a desparate but proud team to lead to a defeat by not taking them seriously.

It would make sense because they have been behind most of the time. Teams run more when they are ahead, pass more when they are behind. Ranking are based on yards allowed per game, not per attempt, so fewer opponents' pass attempts yields fewer opponents' passing yards per game, hence the high ranking despite the YPA against the pass being 29th.

If the weather isn't too bad I say let's go for Brady and Moss's passing records, and the team scoring record. We can tune up for the playoffs against the Giants, who will probably have something to play for.
