Miami game this week
 

What are your thoughts on this ?
I know they are playing pretty bad ...I think this is going to be tough game for as with all the issues the dolphins have...miami is always a tough game.
i remember a similar game last yr when we won an emotional game against pitt and came back and stunk against the chargers..thankfully the dolphins arent as good as the chargers..
i expect a low scoring game and hopefully we can string 2 together...
thoughts ?

Its going to be a typical Pats-Fins game at Foxboro. Close through 3 quarters and teh Pats pulling away in the fourth. Looks like a 20-10 Pats win.

I am not ready to talk about Miami just yet.

Usually mondays are reserved for basking in a great victory or wallowing for another day in defeat.

Tuesday is a "take a break" from constant posting but thinking about next weekends game

Wednesday is a good day for starting to talk about Miami

Thursday, we'll be hearing from PhinFans and the posting will probably get ugly.

Friday its all-out talk about how we are going to crush Miami.

Saturday....College football and some last minute thoughts about Miami.

Sunday.......Oh yeah. Time to party....

We are an emerging team and do need to string good efforts together consistently. I think BB will preach that this week heading into the bye. Miami is a mess and shows no sign of emerging but beating them now really sets us up in the division. It has elements of the classic trap game but given BB's respect for Saban and Brady's history of grappling with the Miami D I think they will have ample talking points to keep the group focused. I also cannot see this team losing back to back games on their home turf.

I wouldn't doubt we see Harrington at some point, because I don't know what else Saban can throw at us that would pose any kind of problem. The talking heads on NFLN who still want to absolve Fumblepepper's talent were beating the pull him now and let him get healthy card last night saying that is the only way to avoid a QB controversy in Miami going forward.

My God. This is exactly what I was going to type, right down to the score.

This team has already shown me more than the 2005 team. The loss to Denver 17-7 was hard to take but it was a pretty close game until the 83 yarder. And much much better than the beat down they received from the Chargers and Colts last year. A super sweet bounce back game yesterday!

Looking ahead we can expect loses from the rest of the division this week (Bills & Jets):
- Buffalo at Chicago
- Jets at Jacksonville

Huge game for the Pats, a win will should put them 2.5 games up over the Jets & Bills and pretty much end the Dolphins season.

How sweet would that be? The Phins at 1-4 and basically on life support!

I better stop I am getting excited. Huge game on Sunday.

Pats 23 - Phins 17

its going to be tough, no division opponent is going to be easy this year. With that said, we beat the bills, dominating them pretty soundly in the second half, and the bills definitely took it to Miami. I would say taht Daunte will be on his ass for a lot of the game given the way that their o-line has played thus far. With that said, a lot of miami's skill players have lots of... well, skill - chambers might be a tricky match up for our secondary, but I think we'll be able to handle them overall.

Miami is down, but what are you going to do if they switch to Joey.

Huh?

A win this week, could really help put the Pats in the driver's seat for the AFC East. If they beat Miami and both the Jets and Bills lose the very tough road games, they would be 4-1 going into their bye, with a 3-0 record in the division, and an extra week to prepare for Buffalo. Leaving both the Jets and the Bills at 2-3, and Miami 1-4.

This game is going to be tough. The fins have a very good run defense and Brady has never had a great passing game against the fins. I see a tight game - more like 13-9 or 10-3. Something low scoring and tight until the end. Just like the games used to be in 2003!
