    The Dolphins in December

    Besides from being cursed in December and the home field adavantage, why does everyone think that the Dolphins are going to get killed at Ralph Wilson Stadium in December? Jay Fiedler didn't play last year for one. Two, a cold snowy game means that its all about a running game and who the hell knows where we'll be in that category by then. Dont get me wrong. I hope we kick the S$&@ out of them but I just dont think it's wise to keep throwing around "wait till December" when for the past two years we've played our best Football in good weather where Bledsoe can unleash the passing fury. As Dave W. I would look forward to the game in December in Buffalo with ricky W and all. What do you think?

    Good point. Until we can run the ball and control the line of scrimmage, we really shouldn't think that game is 'in the bag'. I have to have faith that we will get it done though.

      You guys could definitely win it will be a hard fought game just like last weeks. I think if we put pressure on Bleedsoe and if Jay just doesnt turn it over...it is ours for the taking.

        Well the same can be said for Bledsoe. If he doesn't throw and interception and neither does Henry, Morris, Burns, Maddox, or McGahee then it will be OURS for the taking!

            If we can't say "Wait till December!" what do you suggest we say? This is football, and a great rivalry. We've gotten the best of them on occasion, and they've got the best of us as well. December is our chance at redemption, and we're coming to play so I say: Just Wait till December!!
            Leads? Yeah, sure. I'll...uh...just check with the boys down at the crimelab. Yeah, they got four more detectives on the case....we're working in shifts!"

              ah, it is different to run 42 times in the wamth of miami than the 20 degrees of Buffalo in December.

                You could start talking about how Takeo Spikes will own Ricky, and wont get something in his eye(tears) this time?

                  Yeah, Bufftp..It's easier to run then. Because Ricky has evidently shown he is a poor runner in cold weather...

                    I don't think it's wrong to be excited about the game. I too am thinking "wait until the December rematch". What I don't like to see is someone thinking that just because it's December and cold that we'll win the game. I want the Bills to win that game in the worst way, but I certainly don't think they've already won it because of the weather.

                      The possibility of wacky winds can affect things. Crowd noise for better or worse has become a pretty big deal in the NFL in the past several years, also.

                      I can't say how much cold temperatures could affect things...the same temp for both.

                      I think the overriding factor may be if it is a "must" game for either or both.

                        1. No one passes better in wind and snow than Drew.

                        2. Our Run game WILL be better till then. (We will have Mcgahee probably for one.)

                        3. People tend to forget that Ricky got most of those yards on 2 carries. In the snow on a slippery surface......1 cut and its off to the races.....so I am not overly impressed with the 200+ yards last year. He had the advantage because HE knew where HE was going. Therefore when he made that cut on the slippery turf....the defenders wouldnt be able to react as fast.

                        4. Miami will be suck in Decmeber as always.

                        5. Dont tell me that the 12th man didnt have to do A LOT with that win on Sunday. Our fans are better and louder in the Ralph.

                          We are in agreement. If someone thinks we're going to win simply b/c it is december, they've got another thing coming. We will win b/c of a variety of variables, I.E. Crowd, Home turf, more adaptable to adverse weather.
