Week 7: Dolphins' Game Preparation - Inactives Announced

[Dorkington]

"The Dolphins are now 7-1 when Albert, Pouncey, and James start & finish a game"

 

Well, if that's the case, someone go take a wrench to one of their knees.

-3? Buffalo is the better team right now and has already won a tougher game on the road during this streak. Miami is coming off a game where they took advantage of an undermanned steelers front. I'm not buying any stock in the Dolphins, good luck to that oline playing in their 2nd game together and facing Ryan's multiple fronts.

 

Bills roll 27-13

 

The spread would be -9 in Buffalo. Seems fair to me.

[PromoTheRobot]

that would suck

 

it's also the only way to win

And yet...

Mario Williams played 13 snaps on Sunday. No (known) injury. Just phased out.

He must still be traumatized from what Rex did to him...

Here's the thing. We need to change nothing from our offensive game plan from the niners game. Our offensive line is dominant and we'll get good push against that 32nd ranked run D. And for that matter it needs to be the same vs the Pats and keep Marcia on the sidelines.

Ohh yeah and Jerry Hughes dumps Tanny 3 times bills win 31-17

That was a decent win for the Phins last Sunday.. BUT that is the same Pittsburgh team that was also shredded by the Eagles. The rookie Wentz competed 75% and 300 yds on the 'Burgh and they averaged over 4 yds per rush.

So I don't really know how good that Miami win really was since Pittsburgh is a different team on the road.

 

Regardless of anything, winning on the road vs. a division rival is never easy. Plus Miami is kind of due to beat the Bills. Hopefully we come out and play this game with the urgency they played at New England a few weeks ago.

Pittsburgh goes from the Steelers to the squealers when they play on the road.

[Solomon Grundy]

Job one, we gotta stop "Franklyn" Ajayi. 204 yds rushing against the Squeelers.

Freddie, ur dating urself. "Franklin". He's old school

After the "70s Miami is NEVER due to beat the Bills

Said in reverse in 1971, 1972, 1973, 1974, 1975, 1976, 1977, 1978, and 1979.

Current weather forecast down here is for first real cold front. High 70s low 80s moderate humidity. Better than hot and humid.

good news. Steelers were puking on Sunday.

[Leroi]

Murphy is under the impression that Darius will be back this week. Let's hope so.

Yes we do.

 

[Dorkington]

Ajayi was averaging 3.77 ypc before the Steelers game... after the Steelers game he's averaging 5.73 ypc. Kinda insane
