I must say I am very impressed with how well your Dolphins are playing this season. I can honestly say and i'm sure most people would agree with me that the phins were not supposed to be this good this fast. I love your style of play with your new leader on offense in C.Pennington. I hope it's a good injury free game and may the best team win.

I know our record does not say allot about our team but since Singletary took over this team we are making strides in the right direction. S.Hill has made great decisions to this point and he should have a good game against you guys this week.

The Dolphins are averaging 20.7 points a game on offense and are allowing 20.0 points a game on defense, I see this being a close contest. The Dolphins have no problem moving the ball averaging 350.7 yards per game while our defense is allowing an average 335.2 so we have a big task this Sunday containing the Dolphins high powered offense. Although we only allow 104.4 rushing yards per game the Dolphins average 115.8 on the ground. Our LB corp is going to have to play at it's best to stop the double headed monster in Williams and Brown. The dolphins also have a very good passing attack averaging 234.9 yards through the air while our 49ers secondary is giving up 211.2. We need to get pressure on Pennington if we want to stop this passing attack and give our secondary some help.

I think this game will boil down to who can protect the QB and win the turnover battle.

My prediction for this game is 28-24 49ers:tongue2:

Injury free game for sure :up:

And did you just say the Dolphins have a high powered offense? :huh: :lol:

I think we have a highly efficient offense but I wouldn't call us high powered.

It's great that you do though :D

(welcome, btw, which board are you from?)

Welcome to thephins.com.

Two biggest keys in this game will be time of possession and turnovers.

Miami having two pro bowl caliber running backs can dominate the time of possession especially if Gore is going to be out on Sunday.

At this point even knowing he's gimpy I have to go time of possession edge to Miami.

And the two teams are on opposite sides of the turnover battle.

Miami is at +10 and the niners are at -12

Sack stats aren't that far off Miami has 32, San Fran 25

I love what Singletary is doing in San Francisco he is by far one of my favorite all time NFL players and I would enjoy seeing him become the full time coach in S.F.

That being said I do feel Miami is the stronger of the two teams.

Miami 28-17

I like your 2 headed RB system that you have in Miami, I wish we had a better backup than Foster. Although he has only had limited snaps this season I have not been very impressed with what I have seen to this point. So do you think it will be a close game or are you expecting us to blow you guys out :up:....j/k

Thanks for the welcome!

I would be shocked if Miami won this game by less than 10 points. Sorry Niners fans...this is not the NFC West here. But good luck to you.

welcome bro- its always nice to hear from some civil fans of the opposing team! i think you are right about Hill this week. If we fail to get adequate pressure on him he may be able to pick apart our secondary (who have been playing better of late but are still iffy at times).however, our defense hasn't given up a TD in 2 straight games so hopefully they can keep up the good work this week.

good luck, and take a look around our site. we have plenty of great non-football related topics and threads that we could all probably tolerate you a little more commenting on :wink2::up:

Actually we have a three headed runing back system the only problem is no one outside the Miami Organization and the Phins faithful knows who he is. His name is either Patrick Cobbs or Lousaka Polite.

Which board?

yes but what team is better prepared for Hill's Pennington-like style of game management than the team that has to practice against the original every day?

Nice job on your analysis. I enjoy the good natured banter from the fans our team is about to play, or in this case, destroy. Win or lose, just make sure you come back after the game and I wish both teams good health.

Miami 28-17

The turnover ratio is deceiving because when JTO or just turnover was our starting QB he was responsible for most of our T.O.

If Gore is even 75% healthy I would expect him to play and put up his numbers like he usually does. If he does not play then you guys obviously will a better chance at controlling the time of possesion. Last week when we played the Brett's we dominated them in that aspect of the game even though Gore left earlie in the 3rd quarter.

Our red zone defense has been playing great over the last two games and I am expecting that to continue this week. I know that when you guys get in the red zone you have settled for FG more than 1 would like.

We have not produced very many sacks this season but one thing we do well is get pressure on the QB. Hopefully we can do this against Pennington and stop him form being so D A M N accurate.:lol:

No it's not the NFC west but we have played pretty well against the AFC east this year.

Boy I'll say... you've done something we didn't.. beat the Jets. I just hope we aren't next on your list. Thanks for dropping in, we appreciate opposing fans and their views.

I could say the same thing.

Offensively

We are about 89% scoring with 61% touchdowns

against 49ers 82% and 51% TD's.

Defensively

The San Francisco Defense has allowed 21Td's & 16 FG's from inside the red zone

Miami defense has allowed 18 TD's & 15 FG's

If anything that tells me that the San Francisco offense will be the one kicking a lot of field goals (if they get into the red zone).

We did what Singletary has been pounding into our players heads since getting the position.

#1) WE ARE NOT A CHARITY

#2) PLAY HARD FOR 60 MINUTES

We controlled the clock and made plays all day long, I think we have a chance at doing the same this week but I think the dolphins will controll the clock with the running game. Your secondary has played well but Hill will move the ball around this week in my honest opinion.

We appreciate you beating both the Bills and Jets, and we will hopefully reward you with an exciting game that ends with us winning a hard fought game where both teams looked good. You guys are much better than you record indicates and this game has Opie a wee bit nervous.

Oh, crap did I just refer to myself in the third person? I'm getting Mor-itis.

Good post :up:

I know this sounds like an excuse and it very well may be but we are a different team with S.Hill playing QB. Most of our stats can be thrown out the window.:pity:

If we do lose I hope we lose in a very hard fought game that makes NFL replay :lol:
