    Week 8: Dolphins @ Steelers

    if the Dolphins are going to pick up their first win of the season, they're going to have do something no team has ever done: beat Mike Tomlin at home on a Monday night. Since hiring Tomlin in 2007, the Steelers are 6-0 straight-up in Monday night home games.

      Anything less than an arse whippin is inexcusable.
      How is it possible to have the best owner, best front office, best gm, best HC, good/great drafts every year and good FA acquisitions every year, but only have 3 playoff wins in 14 years?

            I was thinking of this as a possible 'trap' game, looking ahead to the Colts. I forgot this was a Monday night home game. Because it is in prime-time I like our chances.

            Btw, Tomlin in undefeated this year against teams with losing records.

              So you think this should be close?

                They only lost to the Bills by 10 points. Is it unreasonable to think the Dolphins might somewhat improve as the season goes on?

                  Fitz has given the Phins O some life. No game is a gimme, but the Steelers D should have a feeding frenzy against that OL. As usual, it comes down to QB play. Rudolph doesn't need to be special, just limit mistakes and hand the ball off. Is Samuels back?

                    Wow, Vegas has us at a 16 point favorite but some fans here have it as a pick em game.
                    Talk about agenda.

                      Saying that it's possible that it won't be a blow out isn't nearly the same thing as saying it's a pick'em game.

                      But, keep putting up straw men.

                        Dolphins are getting better, but they're not quite able to beat the good guys.

                          no, Samuels will be out a few more weeks.

                            I don’t think anything. I just want a win. Would love to see a solid win but I won’t be mad if we win a close game.

                            Demanding a blow out win “or else” is just a way to be unhappy for another week after a Steeler win.

                              Steelers win by at least 10. We get at least 4 sacks on "Fitz-not so magic" and at least one INT. MR throws two TD passes
