the Rams offense is handcuffed and the soft middle of St. Louis defense can be attacked with play-action if the Dolphins have the rushing game going again.

Well if they devise a game plan exploiting matchups like I want them to:

Miami 27 St Louis 10

This from the Kansas City Star:

OVERALL ANALYSIS
The Rams will want to play ball control and hope an improving defense keeps them in the game late where rookie kicker Greg Zuerlein becomes quite a weapon. Zuerlein is 13-for-13 on field goals this season and has made four from at least 50 yards.
Amendola is a bigger loss than most realize, however, and Tannehill has arrived in South Florida ready to play. The Dolphins just have more big play ability thanks to Bush and Hartline. That should be the difference.
Sports Network Predicted Outcome: Dolphins 24, Rams 17

I feel great when Omar does NOT pick the Fins. What ever he says, the opposite happens.

I agree, but with the karma on this team I do not think that Omar's aura can bring us down. The last time I have had this much hope about the future was before Marino's Achilles injury.

This game is important to the overall high hopes going into the bye week, but if we really look at it we can easily see that it is the LEAST important game we will have for awhile. The Rams are a nondivisional, nonCONFERENCE game, which is least important come playoff tie breaker time. We have a few new pieces with Gaffeney coming on board and Armstrong still getting up to speed, so even if we lose this game we have the bye week to get everyone on the same page and ready to go on a long winning streak afterwards.

This is NOT the must win that the Jets game will be after the bye. Obviously this is a game we need to win like all games, but the jets game is the first must win of the season IMO. We can't get swept by the jets and go down 0-2 in the division. If that happens I will be looking forward to next season for the rest of the year.

This game is very important that we play well and RT continues to make good decisions. We also have to do a better job of getting our -4 turnover ratio turned around. But sometimes things take a step back before they move further forward. If RT has a blip in his week to week improvement I do hope it happens this week.

Having said all that I really believe that if things go according to plan we should win the game 21-13.

I would also be interested in finding someone or a small group that could kidnapp their kicker and keep him in Miami...
