Dec 6th SNF game: New England @ Miami gets booted

[Tailback U]

Miami's been respectfully tough this season but the injuries they've suffered coupled with the fact that the Patriots are finally done messing around has me thinking Pats win fairly easily.

But I don't think the Cardinals have much of a chance against the Vikings, either, to be honest.

The game last year, in Miami, was also with first place on the line and they ripped you to shreds.

Sorry houtz.. I think the Patriots are a much better team than your Dolphins.. and for some reason they've been blowing you guys out as of late in your own stadium.

Last year's a big difference from this year.

The Pats might be better, but the Dolphins are a tough team to play against. I don't see a blowout at all. Or at least a better game than Vikings/Cardinals.

[Cryolemon]

I guess the game wasn't competitive earlier in the season either?

This year we wont have Jason Allen playing one on one with Randy Moss. We'll make it a game. In fact, if the Saints win this week and the Fins beat the Bills it'll be for first place in the division. You better believe Miami will be ready.

The Dolphins should beat the Bills. The Saints - Pats game will be interesting.

We'll see in two weeks. Everyone has their own opinion. I believe you said last week that we should "mark it down" that the Seahawks would "play the Vikings tough" or something to that effect.

We're all blinded by homerism. No Dolphin fan in the world could imagine our team being this competitive in just the second year after completely cleaning house. Patriots are no doubt a better team. Not much better, but better. We're a few players away. Soon you will see.

Yeah.. well forgive me for thinking the Seahawks would play with some heart and the Vikings would pretend it was a bye week ;) Obviously neither happened.

Unlike the Seahawks though.. the Patriots show up on the road. They don't take division foes lightly.. and you guys are without your best player and the guy the Pats have a bitch of a time matching up against (Ronnie Brown)

I'm sorry but they dominated the Colts for 55 minutes and [dennygreen] let them off the hook [/dennygreen].. I can't see a Chad Henne-Ricky Williams-Ted Ginn trio being as good as a Peyton Manning led squad.

The Patriots aren't exactly an easy team to play against either.. especially when you have many key injuries to deal with. Disagree about Vikes/Cards.. it's a possible NFC Playoff preview..

I disagree with the Cardinals take.. they're a dangerous team that's hitting their stride. I think it'll be a very good game.

as long as/if Warner plays = Favre and Warner Are Americana incarnate. They mean possible ratings for/by less than the common fan. They represent what people want to believe in / about heroes or just decent people in general. They are older and still kicking ass. Along with Peyton Manning, they are basically-the league-

plus, as I type this I noticed the Bills beat the Dolphins today haha

Good job booting this one NBC; Miami's choke today hurt any chances of this game being for division.

[ChemTheThriller]

2 Division leaders fighting it out, farve vs warner, adrian peterson, larry fitzgerald... Good well known players with a little more behind it... I like it...

If I could have John Madden back for one game, this would be it.
