    Everyone will talk about the Dolphins Bullygate and not even talk about how we beat the Bengals last week, then they will talk about the Bucs almost beating the Seahawks, which makes everyone pick them to beat us. During the game, the NFL will make sure the refs flag us for almost everything while the Bucs get away with about everything. Consider the NFL making an example out of us for Bullygate, so every kid who watches the game who was bullied at some point in their life can be like hey if the Bucs can beat the team that is known for bullying, then so can I.

    Are we known for Bullying? No, but the way the media has been presenting us to the nation, it sure seems like it.

    Espn the Fox News of sports.

    Miami 20-13 Bucs

    What are you all predicting that will happen?

    Honestly, I think it's going to be a blowout. I believe the Dolphins take out all their frustrations, and have a huge "us against the world" attitude and slap the Bucs around.


    These guy know, the only way to shut up some of the media, is to go out on the field and win games.

    37-17

    Good points there. Nobody is going to make it easy for us. Most want this ship to sink. We are going to come out guns a blazin, but their defense is very underrated. Keep mike James in check, and we should win by atleast 10.

    I still predict we end up with a losing record. Coaches will still call stupid plays & our issues will escalate with each lost.

    I hate myself too for saying it since I usually think we go undefeated & win the SB every year. I just have no faith in our coaching staff, they will get exposed again. Our players will be the same as usual, some will make plays while others will choke at key moments or make stupid mistakes that will cost us.

    I feel like this will be an odd game. I'll go Miami 18-17.

    Well no question we have to assume we'll get called for any kind of bull**** imaginable so we need to beat them beyond the point of the refs having a chance to give it away.

    Two days ago I thought this teams anger and focus would lead to great performance on the field.

    Then Martin's lawyer released the ominous statement that 'other' players bullied Martin.

    I think enough players will be distracted by wondering and worrying if they will be dragged into this that we actually perform poorly on Monday.

    I hope I'm incorrect.

    We need a big positive PR splash to offset the damage.

    We should hire the first openly gay, black, female GM.

    Does a candidate even exist?

    Read that as openly black and was curious about how someone could be closet black.

    Id just like to go a week without seeing our opponent on a highlight reel or setting a team record. With that said, Miami 27 - Tampa - 12. I think our QB, coach and a lot of the players have a calm demeanor about them. This week something changes and they play pissed off.

    This site really loves its conspiracies. That said, you are right that everyone has forgotten about us beating a good Bengals team, a team that leading up to the game the analysts were wondering if they could get to a Super Bowl. And of ESPN's fourteen "experts," ten of them have picked Tampa. 0-8 team heavily picked over a 4-4 team, blows my mind.

    They definitely need to open about their blackitude.

    A closet black won't affect public perception.

    I think that the Martin statement can still cause the team to have an us against them/him mentality. Hope so.

    This is a game the Dolphins MUST win or their season will basically be over as far as the playoffs are concerned. Tampa Bay is merely playing out the schedule until they can get one of the top picks in the draft.

    That being stated, I expect the Bucs to play one of their best games of this season on Monday night. This will give them the opportunity to show a national audience that they are a competitive team, even if they have no wins at this time. I expect the game to be evenly matched for most of the game, but I think the Dolphins will score the last points of the game and come out with a close victory.

    My prediction is---- Dolphins 24-Bucs 21.

    This really shouldn't blow your mind. The Dolphins are only a two and a half point favorite in the game and that is basically the same point spread the Bengals were favored by when the Dolphins beat them in the Dolphins last game. I'm sure even a larger majority of these so called NFL experts picked the Bengals to beat the Dolphins and we know how good those predictions were.

    It's not so much spreads and accuracies of the predictions as it is about the respect. Not that I should care what they think, just interesting to see a majority picking a winless team over a .500 team. When Carolina played at Tampa they were 3-3 and all fourteen picked the Panthers to win. I think some are overvaluing the effect the Martin situation will have with the product on the field.

    I think the way the Bucs played against the Seahawks in their last game probably has a lot to do with many people picking Tampa Bay to win this game. Also the Dolphins are now down two of their starting offensive linemen in Martin and Incognito. The Dolphins will also with be without Brandon Gibson for this game and the rest of the season. Gibson has been the most reliable receiver for the Dolphins this year and he was their main WR threat once they got in the red zone. I think he is going to be missed a lot more than many Dolphin fans realize.

    On defense, if Patterson is out for the game, that will be a big loss in the secondary. There is a huge drop off at his CB position when Carroll or one of the other CB's on the team has to start in place of Patterson.

    I believe the Dolphins can and should win this game, but missing four starters certainly doesn't make this game a cake walk.

    The single, #1, primary reason for this is a league-wide lack of respect for the Dolphins organization IMO. We've been mired in mediocrity for so long, the respect this team enjoyed in the 70s/80s/90s is a memory. What does it take to get it back? WINS. It's all that matters. Even our 4-4 record so far is confusing (beat teams we shouldn't have, lost to teams we shouldn't have). We need WINS!

    Look at all the BS that's gone on up in New England the past several years, yet nobody would ever bad-mouth the organization in NFL circles...they'd be destroyed. Why? New England WINS.

    You have got to be kidding right??

    After Tampa - which we will likely lose - I don't see us winning another game.

    We had the worst Offensive line in football before we lost two crap starters to this BS....We have made no moves to replace either, even in depth.

    This O-Line sucks - The GM sucks - The OC sucks - The HC likely sucks - The QB is a WR - The BIG MONEY WR- sucks. The # 1 overall trade up draft pick - SUCKS. The #2 Draft Pick - Was drafted Injured and is still injured. The HB's suck and we don't know exactly how bad, because none of them can ever get to the line of scrimmage without contact.

    The best player on this team is still the Punter. Honorable Mention to Brian Hartline and Dimtri "I can't stay on the field but when I do I'm awesome" Patterson.

    I guess this post belongs in the rant section....but damn I feel better.:lol:
