MagnusXXIII Posted September 13, 2009 Share Posted September 13, 2009 If our offense completely dominates ... as it should ... than we will win ... but the Dolphins as a team are closer to executing their gameplan than we will be this early in the season.Our approach is better ... could lead to multiple Superbowls ... but won't be ready for an unorthodox team like the Dolphins.Having said that, 45% chance we win ... 66% of that by blow out.

The Falcons are going to take the Dolphins out early tomorrow.You are a competent Falcon fan ... do you know the fins well enough to be confident on this?Quite frankly I'd feel better playing the Panthers or Eagles at home for our opener.

falconfoozball Posted September 13, 2009 Share Posted September 13, 2009 Magnus, to me this is like saying you think Sparano is a better coach than Smith. Do you believe that? I'm not baiting you into anything, I'm just truly curious. I think he's a great coach, but I still think the Falcons made the better/best choice for a HC.

Guest Gritz Posted September 13, 2009 Share Posted September 13, 2009 You are a competent Falcon fan ... do you know the fins well enough to be confident on this?Quite frankly I'd feel better playing the Panthers or Eagles at home for our opener.I tell you what made me feel a lot better about this game....The other day Coach Smith was giving a lesson in some newspaper (I think USA Today, I could be wrong about that though) on the best ways to defend against the Wildcat formation. Now I know the Fins only run that 10-15% of the time, but the fact that Smitty is very sure about what sets we need to be in and what type of recognition we have to employ tells me that we are prepared.I'm not one of these Falcon fans who do a lot of crowing about what we're going to do before each game. The NFL is too freakin' unpredictable.But I think we match up really well against this team. If we were facing a pass-first team like the Cards tomorrow I would be a lot more nervous because we're obviously trying to fix our secondary kinda on the fly.But I like us tomorrow......

vabchbirdlover Posted September 13, 2009 Share Posted September 13, 2009 I'm assuming your're making this prediction based upon the Falcons defense(secondary) showing in the PS.Call me crazy, but i honestly think they'll exceed everyone's expectations - Call it a hunch.

They had to go to the wildcat because they could not run the ball out of a traditional offense. The game against NE was a complete fluke. They are one dimensional at best. That game plan stuff is way off the mark. They are a gimmick offense because they fail to execute their game plan time and again. We actually have a gameplan. We WILL run the ball. You will respect that, and it will open p our passing game. We have weapons everywhere, and they have an 80 year old gimmick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he's a great coach, but I still think the Falcons made the better/best choice for a HC.Good and fair question.I don't think sparano is in the same ballpark as Smith ... but he is still a good coach.My point is ... he has more of his pieces ready to go than we do.and on defense we are still trying to figure out who is playing.

RoastBeeph Posted September 13, 2009 Share Posted September 13, 2009 Don't worry, we will win. We are the more talented ballclub.Last year the Dolphins were 4-5 versus real football teams, and 7-1 versus the weak *** NFC West an AFC West. Their schedule (one of the weakest in all of the NFL last year) made them look much better than they really are. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WeDemBirds60 Posted September 13, 2009 Share Posted September 13, 2009 Personally i think we take this game i have a strong feeling that we will see a lot more of that nohuddle offense this year and Ryan is gonna show what a stud he is. When we run that no huddle he readsthe Defense great and he picks them apart with his arm and knows when to call a run play. Just watch and see.
