Miami still can prove they aren’t the same ole’ Fins to their fans and themselves.
A win this week would prove the Ravens games was a speed bump.
The Baltimore Ravens had a chance to prove who they were as a team. In response, they played so jacked up that they looked like they’d been injected with an steroids before kickoff.
Last week, the Miami Dolphins couldn’t come close to matching the Ravens intensity, and they were dominated in all phases.
But, let’s remember: THAT WAS LAST WEEK.
Right now, this week, is what is most relevant.
And the key question is, will the Dolphins use last week to learn from it and rebound, or will they climb back into there losing ways?
The only way to answer that question is going to be by how they perform this upcoming Sunday against the Arizona Cardinals.
Most of the best pay per head sportsbook fans will agree that the Cardinals have under-performed this season with a 5-6-1 record, but there is no doubting that this team has plenty of talent across the roster and an excellent coaching staff. This will be a very difficult challenge — but, good teams over come these situations.
Miami is going to have to dig deep-down inside themselves this week, and make sure they have Playoff level intensity.
The must prove they can get their intensity up to Post Season level.
Luckily for Miami, this will be a home game, because Miami has thrived at home this season with a 5-1 record. The best teams in the league are very good at home, and turn home games into an advantage, which at the moment is something the Dolphins have been doing. The home crowd this Sunday could be a crucial component in helping us get a victory. So it’s important that anyone attending the game cheer out of their minds till their voice boxes can’t continue.
You chosen few will play a part in a Miami win.
The Dolphins need to come out strong on Sunday and prove that they are not the Dolphins of the last twenty years when adversity comes. They must rise to the occasion.
Every issue that presented itself against the Ravens is correctable, at least to some extent — every one.
The Dolphins played very poorly against the Ravens, but neither they or you can expect them to win every game (72′ might be the only time that ever happens). However, to quote the great American philosopher Rocky Balboa:
“Let me tell you something you already know. The world ain’t all sunshine and rainbows. It’s a very mean and nasty place, and I don’t care how tough you are, it will beat you to your knees and keep you there permanently if you let it. You, me, or nobody is gonna hit as hard as life. But it ain’t about how hard you hit. It’s about how hard you can get hit and keep moving forward; how much you can take and keep moving forward. That’s how winning is done! Now, if you know what you’re worth, then go out and get what you’re worth. But you gotta be willing to take the hits, and not pointing fingers saying you ain’t where you wanna be because of him, or her, or anybody. Cowards do that and that ain’t you. You’re better than that!”
Go Fins!!!
