*Official Dolphins 2010 schedule release thread*

Count me in as WANTING the Jets Week 2....you like that RR, you smell that aroma brother??......on Monday night...why not, no better way to start the new Giants Stadium, from the Jets perspective then smacking them down...It will be nice to get that road trip out of the way nice and early..

 

What a great week this week. Schedule tonight and the draft this weekend. I love it!!!!

 

Really, how can the NFL resist Jests vs Dolphins
Revis vs Marshall
Sanchez vs Henne
Buddyball vs Wildcat
Rex vs Mrs. Crowder
Rex vs Miami MMA fans
Rex vs Girth
Johnson vs Ross

anyone else have great reasons like these?

 

add in Jason Taylor, regardless of if he ends up here or there... if hes there its obviously first time facing his former team... if hes here its about how hard the Jets pushed for him, but he snubbed them to stay with us...

 

im so excited! This week is awesome!

Commissioner Goodell said this morning on Mike and Mike that all Week 17 matchups this season will be divisional matchups.

It aint gonna be Buffalo my friends....

 

all divisional matchups. i hate that for us....cause we are in a division where all our opponents are north eastern teams.....so if we travel its a disadvantage to us. and no one else. hopefully we are @ home week 17

 

It probably isnt going to be the Jets either.....there really hasnt been a true winter game in NE in a while....I could see it...

 

well statistically speaking, it very well may. On paper, the NE vs NYJ is a far more appealing matchup as far as last years records were concerned.

Actually, upon further evaluation, i almost think it has to be buffalo (im probably wrong.) But the whole point of scheduling a divisonal game in week 17 is to keep the teams from benching everyone and sitting out in week 17. If NEs playing Buffalo, they will do just that. So really, we have a 50-50 chance of it being buff. We're either playing Buff or NE.

Unless the league gives NE that cupcake game against Buff...which would fuel the "the NFL loves NE!" mentality people have.

 

Just as a precursor, this is what we already know:

Home: Buffalo Bills, New England Patriots, New York Jets, Cleveland Browns, Pittsburgh Steelers, Tennessee Titans, Chicago Bears, Detroit Lions

Away: Buffalo Bills, New England Patriots, New York Jets, Baltimore Ravens, Cincinnati Bengals, Oakland Raiders, Green Bay Packers, Minnesota Vikings

 

I think we can sweep the NFC North and the AFC north... with only the ravens, vikes and packers giving us trouble. Win half our division games and we're sitting pretty my friends!

 

A few things that leaked out overnight, they do not really involve us, but . . .

- The Falcons have been circulating and ad on the Atlanta Journal-Constitution website for game tickets with the tag line of 'Rise Up 9.12.10" therefore it can be assumed that the Falcons will open at home.

- A Toronto paper opined that November 7th would be the date for the Bills trip to Toronto this year. The Chicago Tribune let slip yesterday that the Bears were expected to play the Bills in Toronto, so look out for this. On a personal note, it makes sense to use the Bears as the game would be on FOX, who has yet to get a Toronto game.

- The same article mentioned that the Bears would be playing in Dallas on Thanksgiving.

I'm a schedule hound, and although I have a busy schedule at work this afternoon, I will do my best to keep up with leaks. Green Bay usually has some game leaks (which would be big because they will normally leak the first game, which I expect to be MNF against the Jets). Cincinnati and the California teams are also good leakers.

 

How are the Steelers not in that group? They may be having some internal drama, but under-estimate them. Hines Ward is always good and Mike Wallace is legit.

 

Yeah. The Vikings game will probably depend on whether Favre returns or not. Packers may be a tough game too though, especially at Lambeau Field.

 

Rumors are swirling that the Cowboys will open at the Redskins. If this is true then it will likely be the week 1 SNF game.

There are several reasons that make me believe that this is false. First, the Giants are playing in the national slot at 4:15 on FOX that day. I don't think the NFL would schedule such an over flow of NFCE games nationally the first week . . . although if any division would have it happen, it would be the beloved NFCE.

This game in primetime would mean that of the four week 1 primetime games, three would potentially be inter-NFC games. The Saints will open, likely with the Saints while it is widely accepted that the Seahawks and Niners/Cardinals will be the back end of the MNF DH.

 

Today is by far the second-most exciting day of the NFL that does not involve actual games. I love following the leaks!

 

Dude... you misspelled William & Mary in your sig!

 

I just copied and pasted his list, so he can't blame me.

Looks like we will open on MNF @ the Jets. I still don't buy it though.

 

that would only make sense if it was 2-3 years ago when the Patriots were clearly the best team in our division. Do you really think the Patriots will clinch the division so early that they will be able to sit their starters in week 17? They've fallen back to the pack and likely would need that game to clinch either the division or a home playoff game. IMO, they won't even win the division.

 

That is really annoying if that's true.

 

Oh, its true. And I find it highly annoying as well.

 

NFL.com has slipped up and revealed that the Bears/Bills will indeed be in Toronto. The link is time sensitive, as I'm sure they will eventually take it down.

Ross deserves a swift kick to the dick for whining about the heat and so does everyone else who thinks its "too hot".

Then we wouldnt play a home game until week 3 because of the Marlins Schedule.

Agreed

 

I think its more likely to be Buffalo than not b/c the Pats and Jets will be the favorites and probably play each other to end the season.

 

The only true home-field advantage and Ross wants to eliminate it.

 

Goodell will be giving some schedule hints to the schedule during his NFL.com chat at 2 eastern.

Although I'm headed to work, trust me when I say that I will be around as much as I can until five central and then again after 5:30. Being six hours away means that leaks will be coming fast and furious soon!

Like I said before, keep your eye on Green Bay, Minnesota (fake schedule released through KFAN already this morning), Cincinnati, New England, and Oakland. In the past, these guys have leaked info early.

 

Well we went 2-2 at home last year in 1pm games. Our 2 wins were by a combined 3 pts. I'd say we didn't get much advantage from the 1pm starts.

 

Does everyone seem to forget our guys play in the same heat? They're a little more conditioned, but it's not like they're Florida Natives. We've got a really young team, I just don't think they're really THAT accustomed to Florida heat, that it gives us that much of a difference maker right now.

 

I agree that the advantage isn't nearly what it once was. Teams are better conditioned and better prepared now for those type of situations.

 

Just saw this posted......

Miami opens up at the Jets Monday night football…
Pittsburgh week 2 in Miami…..1 pm game..
green bay, Nov 14th 4 pm…..
Jets come to Miami Dec 12 @ 1 pm…


who knows

 

Every little bit helps though.

They're not FL natives, but practicing in the heat for months before the season starts has to help the body adjust and get more acclimated.

The heat may not be as big of an advantage as it once was, but I still think it's best not to give away what little advantage may exist.

 

We opened up the season and closed it in 2008, week 1 in miami vs jets week 17 in ny. Maybe they're reversing it? I figured we'd get the Jets week 1[no Santonio Holmes!!!] and Bills week 17-If they give us the exciting week 1 game vs the Jets, they'll give the exciting week 17 game to the Patriots. It could go either way though.

It's also been 10 years[already!!] since the Monday Night Miracle which was at the Meadowlands. I think they'll be pushing that week 1 as well as the re-heated rivalry the past few seasons.

 

Well that source gets 50 lashes with a wet noodle

 

And you know it will be away for us...!!

 

My question is, why is it 2 hours long? What could they possibly do with a schedule release for two hours? Tell us how great the jets are going to be without even playing a game in 2010 yet?

 

almost a guarantee

It would be best to play Barfallo because if we need a win at the end of the year to get into the playoffs it would be the easiest way in.

 

Would anyone else be a little scared if we played the Jets week 1? We start off EVERY year slow, and would hate for it to be a division game.
