Game Thread: Miami Dolphins Week 16 Game Thread

Might as well start this thread now that we are blowing out the Wets

Another tough one at Buffalo though.

We know Rex Ryan will find ways to give Matt Moore a few things to think about

Doog Flutie's voyce is grating on meh, eh.

Rex will be fired after this... the Fins Are for real! Thank goodness they didn't hire that train wreck! Hot air doesn't =wins

The Fins will need to be ready for smash mouth football. If the Fins can stop the run then they will probably win. The Bills are the top rushing team in the league. The Fins' Dline & LBs will need to bring their A game.

The Fins' CBs are playing as well as I've seen this year. Lippett keeps getting better & better. He gets great position & has hands as good as a WR. Howard came back when the team needed him most with Maxwell getting hurt. Howard matched up with Marshall and had multiple pass deflections. It was impressive. McCain has been solid covering slot WRs. In addition, the Fins safeties are playing well.

The Fins offense should be able to put up some points on the Bills.

With the Broncos loss the Fins control their own destiny. If they win the next two games the Fins will be in the playoffs.

Actually, if the Fins win this week and the Broncos lose again - we will have clinched and can just play the last week in a more relaxed manner

Can't play in relaxed manner if you clinch spot, need to play hard and aggressive. They will likely have to play road game and when is last time they beat a good team on the road?

I meant relaxed manner in the sense that the they would have already clinched a spot in the playoffs. Of course, they will need to keep up the intensity and all to some degree in order to take momentum into playoffs should they get there

Would love to see them curb stomp Buffalo and drive the nail in Ryan's coffin. But I don't seem the Bills folding in this one. In fact, after the Landry-Williams deal in the first meeting, I wouldn't be surprised to see them coming hard.

I thought that Vigil would be good but he tailed off. I have no idea about the new guy maybe have pats secrets...

Get Rex Ryan fired with this win!

Get Rex Ryan fired with this win!

I agree with that!

 

[Paolo305613]

Here is the full list of Miami's inactives Saturday:

• CB Byron Maxwell
  
  
• WR Leonte Carroo
  
  
• QB Ryan Tannehill
  
  
• LB Jelani Jenkins
  
  
• TE Dominique Jones
  
  
• TE Thomas Duarte
  
  
• DB Jordan Lucas
  

 

[Paolo305613]

Of note: Just in case: There are some scenarios in which we lose today and are still alive but its slim

 

[Paolo305613]

Fins win toss -- differ

 

[Paolo305613]

Good first stop.

I think this is our first - first possession 3 and out all season if not in a while on defense

 

[Paolo305613]

Then we go 3 and out on offense ourselves -- almost a pick. Gotta remind myself its Matt Moore back there -- Rex Ryan could make him miserable

 

[Paolo305613]

Very aggressive defense thus far from the Fins both vs run and pass -- haven't seen this approach early in a game all season long... finally

 

[Paolo305613]

Taylor throwing up now
