Just about everyone here is already chalking one up under the WIN column with this game.
I admit, I am too, but I'm doing it in pencil.
This game makes me a little nervous. We lost to them last year, and they remember that well, which gives them confidence.
Season opener, at home, division rival - Buffalo will be TOUGH!!
This is an absolute MUST WIN for us. We better be ready!!!!

Agree that this win won't be automatic. But the first game of the season is never automatic. Heck, no NFL game is automatic. Still, we are the better team and we should win.

Go Phins

They gotta win......i'm gonna be at this game

I will be there too in the press box. Where you sitting?

Sirius guys say we are ripe fopr the picking. If we can't control the outside, Spiller could light us up. We are like Langford's earring, something missing. Starters couldn't outplay Dallas' second and third stringers

Because the starters weren't motivated to play a bunch of backups. Which is why it was stupid to play them and risk injury. Those guys didn't want to be out there. They know the game is a joke.

On paper we are the better team, hands down. But that doesn't mean we can't get sucker punched if the team isn't focused and ready to play. If we lose, it wouldn't be the first time a Sparano coached team goes out on opening day and lays an egg.

Can't lose to Buffalo. I'm sorry. Conference game and division game, tough to rebound from a loss like that.

Unless this team finds some heart and sense of urgency, Spiller with rush for 300 yards and the Bills will in 72-0.

I might get tickets to that game, only 6 hours away hmmmm.

Cool let me know, if I get there early enough I will come down and buy ya a beer. I'm staying at the teams hotel the "ADAMS MARK" in downtown Buffalo. So, since I will already be in Buffalo the night before not sure what time I will be arriving to the game. I might sleep in a bit depending on how Sat night goes! lol

The spread is Miami -3

Not that I'm one to talk, but are you typing from a smart phone while 4-wheelin' it?

We have not won an opening game in a long while...Take nothing for granted. I think we will win, but I agree with most here, it is hard to just chalk it up... my gut says, and my prediction is we will win by 14+. We will look sloppy in some drives and go three and out but we will shine on other drives, are defense will create multiple turnovers and sacks also possibly a defensive score. Brandon Marshall, Ricky Williams and or Fasano will shine on Offense in this game! Go Dolphins!

Sec 114 row 9 seats 19 & 20

Enjoy the game U2....................There is nothing like been at the stadium. Especially if we can come up with a W.

Cant wait to get there (hidden motivation....I have an 8 week old and a 3 yr old at home...........NEED A BOYS WEEKEND BADLY!) Should be a good time win lose or draw, but it better be a win!

Cool I can't wait to get to the stadium myself even though Ralph Wilson is a dump. I think you are on the Dolphins side if I remember correctly, which means the opposite side of the field as the press box and where I will be.

Supposed to be 70 degrees with isolated thunderstorms. 30% chance of rain.

Thanks I saw that too, I jacked some rain suits from work just in case

Hopefully it WILL rain. We were undefeated in preseason this year when it rained!

Now they are saying 68 degrees and showers. So its looks like the odds of rain is increasing.
