As long as Jeff Ireland is in control, every team that plays the Dolphins is playing a very winnable game.

I guess the same could be said about the Dolphins. If they can't beat the Browns (home or away), then it's going to be a long year!

My comment wasn't really a diss against the dolphins. More emphasizing the fact that it's a home game against a non-elite team. You gotta win those in the nfl.

Oh, I didn't take it as a diss. I agree with you that this should be a must win game... but for either team. More-so for the Breowns, since it's on their home turf.

Next 3 games are @Ravens [MENTION=1565]Viking[/MENTION]s then Bengals. I think we only win 1 of those games putting us at 2-2 with the Lions and Bills coming into town the next 2 weeks. If we want any chance of playoffs this season we need to be 4-2 after the first 6. Last 10 games are VERY tough aside from the Jets and Jags.

Weeden didn't play well against Indy. Hasn't been in a position to have a good offensive drive in weeks. The Dolphins game is a must perform well game for him. IN a QB driven league how Weeden performs against the Dolphins means a lot for this franchise's season.

Miami has played much better on the road the last few years for whatever it's worth.

Yeah, beacuse their "fans" suck ass. They are essentially playing 16 road games a year.

Yeah I mean it hasn't really translated to more wins but they have performed better on the road recently.

I'm not sure of the exact numbers, I know we lost 5 games last year by 5 points or less, mainly due to the offense not being able to put up points in key situations.

Friggin' Gordon. I was really hoping to see them come out in a four receiver (Gordon, Little, Bess & Benjamin) set. Benjamin is going to get some mismatches and be able to take the top off a defense.

They were 2-6 on the road last year. How is that playing well on the road? Might as well say Cleveland plays well on the road since they had a lot of close games...

It didn't translate into a lot of wins but we have performed better on the road. Typically we play up to the competition, beating some good teams and losing a lot of game that we should win. The inconsistency is always there, so I have no idea how this weekend is going to go.

Well in that case, the Browns are a good road team too. LOL

Man I hope the Browns win this Sunday. The following Sunday in that syphillis & crack whore invested cesspool called Baltiwhore should be interesting. First things first, take care of the Fish on Sunday.

So Baltimore gets to "celebrate" their super bowl with the Browns in town? Goddell is such an ass.

If they play anything like they did last year against us and the Browns improve on their performances just a tad, the Ratturds won't be doing much "celebrating."

Besides, the Orioles kinda screwed the Rats in the SB celebration. Historically, SB champs open at home and the scheduling conflict forced them to go to Denver. Skeptical that Goodell had much to do with that.

Doesn't mean he's not an ass.

But Orioles... get over yourselves.

After last nights shellacking, I don't think they'll be doing a lot of celebrating.

When I take everything into consideration, I like Goodell. Granted, some of the shit he does pisses me off (i.e. adderall= the same length suspension as somebody who roids), but he is a good comish. He is better than all the other comishes in the "big 4." I always lol when people QQ about goodell.

I have no real issue with him. Everyone bitches about the game becoming "flag football." He's doing a lot at the younger levels to improve the safety of the game. These coaches now, I believe, have to be certified on certain safety measures. This was a far cry before as probably 70% of the pee wee coaches were not qualified to coach.
