Looking at this Phines team they appear to have a great defense when playing at home as they shut down the Pats week 1 only 7 points and held the Bills to only 19 points. On the road they can't stop anybody. We get them in their place so I expect the great home play from them to continue. Looks like Thompson will get the start. He'll probably play great against our cream puff defense and there will be little rush and forcing bad passes into coverage. We don't attack the QB so he can sit there in relax mode. We can't turn the ball over or commit a bunch of stupid penalties. That will do us in. We also need to punt the ball better and not rely on Peg to hit a game winner FG. Based on how the Phins played D at home I don't expect much. Maybe 17 as the high mark. We should be able to hold a 7th round pick QB down so maybe 14 is the max for them.

Should win this one by a couple touchdowns is my guess.

You mean lose since Vikings are going to make Skylar look like Marino

No I mean win. I'm not as down on this team so far as others are.

IMO you are way overestimating their defense and underestimating our offense. Vikings 24 Fish 10.

That's possible. I was just surprised that they played so much better at home games. Of course it's a small window but the Bills can score. It could have been a down game on their part also.

The Bills had like 400 yards. The Dolphins we're very fortunate to win that game.

It will be the first real test for the offensive line, going against a defense with a good pass rush on top of one that is good against the run. Prior to this game they have gone up against 2 good pass rushing teams (GB and Philly) who are both bad against the run, while only facing one team that is good against the run (NO) but that had a bad pass rush.

Tyreek Hill is proving he is more than just a woman beating WR propped up by one of the best QBs in the NFL and Waddle is looking like he is a future top 5 WR in this league.

Mostert is coming off a game where he looked unstoppable and the Vikings have struggled to stop the run.

None of that matters though, because Skylar Thompson will probably be the worst QB to start a game this season.

Vikings win by 30 on at least one defensive score and the D has it first don't bend, don't break game. The offense takes advantage of constant short fields and a Miami defense exhausted after the constant 3 and outs its O keeps having.

I saw that but 63 pass attempts. You should get 400 yards. Really that's not very good. Overall their D sucks and I was only pointing out the home games. Maybe it's the sun shine.

Will we beat any team by 30. I wouldn’t hold my breath waiting for it to happen

I was watching that game with a guy from Buffalo, He was going crazy over that. He basically kept saying we dominated the game, but lost.

I bet its a 10 point win for the Dolphins. Even the 3rd string QB should be able to exploit the shell system Donatell uses.
