This is a moderated phorum for the CIVILIZED discussion of the Miami Dolphins. In this phorum, there are rules and moderators to make sure you abide by the rules. The moderators for this phorum are JC and Colonel.
Hopefully Lee Evans has a good day (One of my receivers on fantasy) other than that hopefully we destroy them with Ronnie having a monster showing ( My running back in fantasy)
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!
I'm thinking 23-13 Miami. Too much offensive firepower on our end for Buffalo to overcome. The defense will show the Bills things they have never seen from us, and we'll hold on with a nice 10 pt win ( I hope).
We jump out 14-0...pin back the ears and blitz the crap out of Edwards...it bites us once with a long TD at some point, but we combine heavy running and efficient passing down the stretch to dominate the 2nd half.
Time to prepare myself for the worst. We are on the road and Buffalo seems to be playing well in preseason. J. Allen gets beat long by Evans for a TD and Spiller breaks out of a tackle by Clemons for another. The Bills also score on a kick return immediately after Pennington takes over our struggling offense and manages to take the lead for the 1st time in the game. It could happen, but I hope it doesn't.
Miami will implement there new blitz packages (probably just a few to keep things a bit new later on) Create sacks and turnovers. Vontae Davis pick 6.
Miami's offense will shine with a few long completions Henne - Marshall, though no touchdowns. Ronnie rushes for 125 and a Touch, Ricky will get 100 on the ground. Henne pitches 2 Touchdowns.
Buffalo's D will be overmatched maybe they will muster one lucky sack.
Buffalo offense: Trent edwards will throw 3 ints, Spiller will be mostly a non factor being a rookie and in his first real game, wont be up to speed with the big time yet. Muster only 3 first half points.

I just can't see this team score that many TD's, not yet especially with a non-gelled O-line, and still not in sync wr corps with Henne, and because Berger isnt as good as Grove, and our running game is going to be lucky to put up 100 yards this game, especially if it rains!!!
Our defense will give up a couple big runs, and pass's, however we won't give alot of TD's, prob one, and 2 FG'S.
The Bills defense does not have the quality personnel to field a good defense...let alone a 3-4. I think they will be better but have no pass rush. Aaron Maybin has bust written all over him and will be neutralized by Jake Long leaving Henne all day to pick them apart.
They will also struggle with pass protection and we will beat on Trent Edwards all day long.
No way we lose this game IMO.
They can't shut down Marshall even with double coverage. They can't stop our running game. They will get a few big runs from Spiller but nothing insurmountable. They will be in big trouble when they get in 3rd and long situations.
We have not won in Buffalo in 5 YEARS! but that ends on Sunday.
Dont mean to be a hater but someones got to do it. If penni was playing i think that we would win convincingly but I am not yet sold on the team winning under henni (major difference is arm strength, with penni we had long 6-8 minute drives cause his reach was 20 yards so we would dominate and impose our will on teams). With henni he takes more chances down field which lead could lead to long strikes but to often leads to 2 and 3 and long so more 3 and outs and lose of field position.
Buffalo might be playing without some guys on defense. Kawikia Mitchell ILB probably won't play and is almost certain to be OUT on Sunday. Saftey Jairus Byrd who has missed the last month and it was reported as of yesterday wouldn't play Sunday, practiced today and Chan Gailey says he now expects him to play. But that could change if his injury acts up again. I wouldn't bank on Byrd playing and if he plays probably in limited snaps and less than 100%
NO Mitchell makes their defense worse. Byrd at less than 100% or not at all...kills their defense
