It is another lovely, humid day at Dolphin Stadium and today we will answer the question that has become most apparent about YOUR Miami Dolphins this season.
Do they always play up to the level of their competition?
As you know the Dolphins have two wins and four losses entering today's game against Buffalo. The Bills are leading the AFC East at 5-1.
That shouldn't really worry you because the Dolphins this year have played better against better competition. They whupped New England and dismantled San Diego -- two teams that played in the AFC title game a season ago and are considered playoff contenders this year.
Yet Miami lost against a winless Houston and against a Baltimore team that had lost three consecutive games. Neither of these two teams are considered playoff contenders.
So if they act according to script, the Dolphins should play well against the Bills today. Buffalo is, after all, considered one of the most complete teams in the conference and perhaps the entire NFL.
Anyway, we shall do a live blog today as every game day. It will begin in the comment section here then jump to the comment section of the new update posts I put up every quarter. Pregame you can also catch me on 790 The Ticket [790theticket.com for those of you not in South Florida].
Go Mando

this week is also going to let us know if the Dolphins are gonna be a headache in the AFC East or a bunch of headcases. Im optimistic and see a hard fought game that the fins win 20-16. Defense is gonna be pissed after two horrible showings in Houston and against Baltimore. With a win here and next week in Denver, we have a very favorable schedule the rest of the way, and can be a pain in the neck for bubble teams in the afc. Go Fins!!!

As I travel to Finland today, I go with high hopes for a well fought battle. hahaha!! I'm just hoping we show up today against the Bills. I don't say this because I think the Fins suck, I say this because the Bills have had our number for quite a while now. With the "here one week, missing the next" Fins, I'm just hoping we content today. If we win, I have that pencelled in as a "miracle". If we content and stay in the game, I'll be happy.
