Seriously how many yards have te’s hung on the Phins this year. The only glaring problem i see other than the safeties is indeed Will Allen. We need to toss this boundary corner BS and matchup with the WR’s that suit each corners ability and play style. All SD had to do to get Jackson off Sean Smith was flip to the other side of the field. Thus granting them a huge advantage against Will Allen.

Man up and Shade them wherever they go

Smith on Colston
Will Allen on Lance Moore
Vontae on Meachem/Henderson
Jason Allen on the bench

if I hope for draft position or another division championship.

The banter between fans is awesome!

Big Saints fan here and all I really hope for this game is exactly what’s on the menu: A pass-happy offense with running ability versus a pretty good defense with the will to win at home. On the flip side, a defense coming into their own versus a team that ‘owns’ the wildcat moniker and a fresh QB trying to make a name for himself with good WRs. This should be a good game and one I’m waiting to watch. (From a personal perspective, I’m really glad that it’s being played so late in the states so I can sleep until 0500 and still catch it….those early games are killing me!)

All we should really be concerned about is all the players making it through the game without serious injury. May they all sweat blood and tears but come out with bones and ligaments in tact. Amen.

unless we win the following 2 and get back to 4-4 before the stretch of less difficult games.

It will take a savvy game plan to beat, one part is run the ball well, don’t make mistakes and own the clock, but the Saints are so good on offense, and even if we manage to mark their big receivers, they can kill us in the middle with players like Moore, Shockey and Bush out of the back-field, especially that our MLBs and Wilson suck in coverage.

I still think we need to make them one dimensional and make sure they don’t run against us, again, sounds crazy but thats how i see it.

lets not be too hasty though on proclaiming the season over though. Lets not forget that last year this team was 2-4 after an ugly loss to the Ravens. After that the team went 9-1 to win the division. Now I am not saying that lightning will strike twice, but even with the tough schedule, 10-6 is not out of reach. The division title is still within our sites. We have the Jests next week who unfortunately lost their run-stuffer Big Kris Jenkins for the year. New England only showed that they can beat down on an awful team that couldn’t put much pressure on Brady, and then theres the Bills. Throw in the non divisional games ahead and I repeat, 10-6 or 11-5 is definately still attainable!!!!!!

If we lose, it’ll just be more of the same against great teams, even if we lose close. We could have won any of those first three if we’d have stepped it up in just a few places, and all three games were winnable in the fourth quarter if we’d have put together drives. I think the Indy game defines us a lot more if we lose to NO Sunday. How we can do everything right and still lose because we’re just not quite there yet.

we have to play the Saints like we did the Colts. Controlling the ball. Henne just needs to manage the game. We don’t need him trying to get in a shootout with Brees. If the Saints have watched ANY film on us they’ll know that covering TEs are our problem, so I bet they have some seam passes or outs patterns to Shockey drawn up that they will use early and often to move in our Safetys. If we dont apply pressure, then when our safety’s move up Brees will just bomb it deep for a quick score. And dont even get me started on their running/ screen game.,,,,,

although i think this will be a good game, (and im glad were playing in miami and not the super dome.) i don think this is the defining game of the the first half of the season. the main reason is that it’s not a division game, not even a conference game. a win keeps the phins on pace with the pats, who play Tampa Bay btw. the biggest game for me is the same game as many of the recent years…….the hated pats!!!! miami has to win the division to make the playoffs. the division came down to a 3rd tier tie braker last season. i would love for the fins to win sunday but the game coming up against the pats, is by all acounts a must win to retain the division title. right now the phins are 2-0 in the afc east. the other three teams have atleast 1 loss in the division. if miami beats the patsies…..all they would have to do is match the win total with the pats. and the afc east is ours again. i think a win over the saints bring some national attention back to miami, but to be honest with you i kinda like being the under dog. the dfensive key to the game for the fins is pressure on brees. they like to run deep routes, witch take time to develope. im looking for merling and langford to step up and get in brees’s face. tie crowder to pierre thomas and reggie bush becomes a non issue. offensively, we all know that the RxR express is vital to the dolphins ability to keep brees and crew off the field. but i look for hartline to make a big play down the sideline and bess to turn it up over the middle. i think fasano has a big game in the red zone. no doubt about it. it’s a big time game for the fins, but imo the pats will be the biggest this half of the season

we all saw what the saints did to the giants. but we also remember the saints squeeking by the jets, in a sub 20 point game. by hook or by crook the fins have put up 38 and 31 points in the last 2 weeks………i think 30 again wins the game

if we can win the next 2, then we’d be 4-4 and 4-0 in our div., remember we were 2-4 last year.

We need to atleast take 2 out of the next 3 to have any chance at making a playoff run….And if i had to choose which two it would be against the Jests and Pats because thier division games..But beating New Orleans would be great too.. :) Because the schedule gets alot easier after the Pats game…

trying to beat the COlts.

is a whole lot better then people give it credit it will not be as easy to run the ball and control the clock as you think.our head coach ponied up $250,000 of his own money to bring greg williams to n.o. as defensive coordinator and he has proven to be worth every dime our players believe in him and he has brought that hard nose mentality with him and they are playing great

the gametime condition is being forecasted at mid to high 80’s with a chance of rain. Advantage; Dolphins

I’d like to see the Fins keep the ball for 45 minutes again like they did against the Colts. I know it did not result in a victory last time, but I like the chances more then letting Brees on the field to throw the ball where every he wants!

If we stop that 3rd down convertion, we are gona win this game!

With all this talk on us stopping the Saints, what about their preparation for us? not saying they are fearing us, but they are putting a game plan to increase their chances.

So what could be they thinking? simple, force Miami to throw and abandon the Wildcat….how? take the lead as fast as possible.

The essence, 10 bucks they will go deep on the first drive, if not the first couple of plays, and 10 bucks if it doesn’t work they will try again in the first couple of drives several times.

To them, whats the worse can happen? a turnover? 3 and out? even if we get the ball and get the WC in motion, it can only score 7 points, and if one team is confident that it has the passing game to get back, this is it.

So i seriously hope the coaching is ready for it , again, i am so confident we will see a bomb in the first 2-3 plays from Saints offense, especially if they win the toss.

i’m excited bc it’ll be my first saints game that i’ve gone to that’s NOT in the superdome…

i’m worried about us losing the time of possession battle like y’all did with the colts—but not having a superhuman performance from brees. his worst games have been on the road, so i’m really hoping he plays like he did last week or else this game will be tight.

key matchup—chad henne vs darren sharper. he eats young qbs for breakfast. seriously.

I mean why not? Nobody can stop our rushing attack, our secondary might finally step up and Chad Henne makes a name for himself!!! Ater sunday… nobody will ever call him ¨¨another young QB¨¨
GO FINS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
