The Dolphins Make Me Cry.com - Forums

Stopping Mojo Drew is going to be a tall order.  Luckily the Jags tight ends are nowhere near the top of the class, so the secondary should have a good day.  However, David Gararrd has been known to be a thorn in the side of the Dolphins pass rush.

Offensively, the passing game needs to play like it did against New England, because Jacksonville's run defense is one of the best in the league. 

Still, I can see the Dolphins taking this game.  If Chad Henne plays smart, and Dan Henning gets his head out of his ass on the play calls, the Dolphins can beat anybody.

Dolphins 27

Miami- 23

We lose to a tough team this week.

23-17 MIA

Miami:  31
Jax:      23

jax 30 mia 14 

Miami           27
Jacksonville   20

I hate to be pessimistic, but it seems every time the Dolphins get a big win to put them back on the edge of getting in the playoffs, they lose to knock themselves back out.  Dolphins take it on the chin this week (although I'm hoping they win big).

Another playoff game for the Fins. First and formost we have to stop Jones-drew. second and equally important is keeping Garrard in the pocket and not letting him make plays with his legs. we need big push up the middle from Starks and the
D-line, and collapse the edge with Wake and Porter.  By doing that the screen play will be a problem.
Sims-walker against Vonte Davis is gonna be the match up i`ll be watching this week. we need Davis to have another big week. They do have a pretty good tight end in lewis which could be a match up problem for the safety's. we can pass the ball on this team look for Henne to have another big day. I cant believe i`m gonna say this but i think Ginn will be a big part of our offense this week. Watch for Ginn to have a couple of deep passes and an end around the Jags are susceptible to these kind of plays because of there aggressive nature.

I don't have a good feeling about this game.  I think we had a smoke and mirrors win over the Pats.  We were outplayed and dug out a win.  The Jags play really well at home, and the Fins have a way of letting you down, just when you think you've got yourselves together (see the Bills game).

So, I'll say we lose:

Jags: 27
Dolphins: 10

Jacksonville 23
Fish (for Sunstroke) 10

Jax has  been a pain in the ass to Miami .  Jax leads the series 3-1.  I still remember Marino's  retirement playoff game. God Awful :o  But these are new times

'Fins - 24

Kittens- 21

This matchup looks REALLY bad on paper. The Jags are really good against the run while we're really bad against the run. Both offenses feature good running, so unless Henne & Co can suddenly churn out another 52 pass attempts (and accompanying touchdowns), we're toast. Slow-roasted toast, sure, but toast none-the-less.

We're not REALLY bad against the run.  Matter of fact, we had a pretty good run defense, which took a big blow when Jason Ferguson went down.  I'd say we're average against the run, but with an elite back like MoJo Drew, that's gonna be a problem.

I remember us being "Colts run D of 2006" bad for long stretches, even before Ferguson went down. For some reason, teams just haven't run as much against us. It also helps that our own offense usually manages to keep the ball for long periods of time (often doing nothing with it).

EDIT: Looking up some numbers, we're among the WORST in the league in stopping runs behind either offensive tackle. Average up the middle and to our right, very good to our left. Jacksonville are, by a SOLID margin, a "run up the middle team". 77% of their runs are guard/center. Only 1 other team is above 70% (SF) and less than a handful more above 60%. For the few runs they have had to the sides, they've been very good left end, decent left tackle (gonna be a problem) and about average to the right. It's going to be VERY interesting to see if Jacksonville call a lot of "up-the-gut" runs or if they'll game plan to exploit our weakness.

31-30 Dolphins

Jags by 14 points,  time for another fish fry up in Jax. lol

HAHAHA!!!! Nice!

I think it's awesome that I now know who one of Jacksonville's 2 fans are.

Go Jags!

Playoffs in  1996.....    remember ?

24 - 10 dolphins beat down the jags in front of all of 100 jaguar fans :)

I completely remember, yes.  How'd they make out the rest of the way that year again? I know Denver went on to win back to back championships directly after that season.
