    After Miami's 2 winning streak-
    And Vikings 3 Lossing streak-

    How do you think this game will go down this week.
    I am sure that it will give the Dolphins a challenge, but i think that we can overcome that challenge and win over them. No mistake Harrington played a great game last week. making all the smart desicions for his team knowing what is best? What well happen this week your thoughts?

    Welcome to the forums :rock:

    A few weeks ago I would of said Minnesota by double digits but these two teams are heading in the opposite directions. I think it could go either way now but I'm more incline to go with Miami because of the way their playing. The Vikings have no passing threat at all and are really struggling defending the pass as well.

    I'll go with the Dolphins

    Another Phins fan? Welcome here, to bad you arrived after the Phins-Packers. LOL
    I agree the Vikes seem to be having another colapse but they got no passing offence and after the Pats game on MNF their pass D has been exposed. Maybe Saban will get the Phins on a run like he finished last year with and the experts can all predict them for the SB next year again

    Welcome to the forums, -franchize-. I hope you guys realize that this is Culpepper's former team he's playing on Sunday right? But he's on the bench so... just a little tidbit about the game, not important or anything, I just wanted to point it out.

    Word i always though Joey had potential just the right system he still makes mistakes but he is still learning miami's system give Joey time and i bet saban will have a franchise QB in harrington.. But i choose miami to win they are showing the talent they were slated to have at the seasons start.. look for miami to make a run at the wild card

    Except for SI, could you give us some links to "all the experts" that predicted a Super Bowl for the Dolphins this year? I could compile a list of forum posters that have asserted this myth and haven't been able to back it up. Just because people keep repeating it doesn't make it true. In fact, the only amusing aspect of this myth is all of the people who are now bashing the Dolphins and calling them the "trendy" pick, but there isn't anyone around saying that they were one of the people who picked them to go all the way.

    Regarding the game, the Vikings do have a better record, but I feel the Dolphins can compete with them. Hopefully, Jason Taylor will continue to run rampant and the defensive line will get good pressure on Brad Johnson in general. I like the Dolphins chances to be able to get a win here, but I certainly don't have this one down as a W already.

    It'd be a longer list of Forum memebers than "experts"

    I went to see Casino Royale & was pleasantly surprised when I came home.

    The Dolphins D scored more than the O. It appears that Chester's TD as time expired made the score about what I thought it would be.

    I am interested to hear any thoughts on the game.

    Well first of all as far as the experts picks you are right everyone bought in to the SI thing and
    took them as the media as a whole. I wasn't saying it as a slam on the Phins as I like them and would of been one of the people who bought into them doing well although I predicted maybe AFC title game but sisn't think SB yet.
    As for the game the bit I saw between commercials was all Jason Taylor once again. First right when it looked like the Vikes finally had momentum he had a huge int TD to put the dagger in their heart. Just to top it off next drive he slammed BJ again and forced a fumble. I didn't think it before the year but now I've seen enough to say he's in his prime and right up there for DPOY

    Jason Taylor has been the best defensive end in football for quite some time. The whores of media would just rather hype other players. I must say that Jason has turned it up a notch this season from even his usually exceptional level of play. If the Dolphins had a better record, a case could be made for Jason being the NFL MVP. Regardless, I hope Saban can have the Dolphins ready to be competitive next season because Jason deserves to go out with a winning team that has a legit shot at making some noise in the playoffs.

    I don't know what broadcast you watched, but there was plenty of praise for him (and rightfully so). If his season continues like this he'll easily be a name...

    I am sure JT's plays were incredible this week & last. Though, he's been coming up clutch for quite some time.

    For the most part, JT has done well against the NFC North. Will that streak continue? After all, Kitna is no Brad Johnson.

    I didn't see the game, but I'm not talking about just today's telecast. Jason Taylor should already be one of the biggest names in the game, but, in general, I feel that Jason gets overlooked. I really hope he continues to play out of his mind on Thursday. He deserves a big day in the national spotlight.
