Week 6: Dolphins at Packers Preview

The Dolphins are set to kick off in Green Bay at 1 pm today and after a bye week I am ready for some Dolphins football. I have to admit that I still have a little bit of a sour taste in my mouth following our last loss to the Patriots, but with it being two weeks behind I’m fairly confident that the team has put enough time in to correct their mistakes and bounce back. Sure two divisional losses going into the bye week are not ideal, but with a 2-2 record and knowing that we get the opportunity to play them again at the end of the season, there is no reason to count our boys out, we are still in it and where we end up this season is still pretty much in our hands.


A win at Lambeau would be exactly what we need to get ourselves right back on track and it is something that we have the tools to accomplish. This is what I’m looking forward to seeing this game, my predictions if you will:

Offense: After a disappointing performance following what was the best game of his career, Henne will bounce back and deliver a new personal best, being benched after throwing three interceptions has a way of building up the fire in you and I think that will come out today. I am also hoping that Henne will take the time to look down the field before throwing some questionable passes, Hartline was open after all for most of the game last week and was overlooked every time, something that I am sure the team reviewed while watching tape.

Defense: Aaron Rodgers might be one of the best QBs in the league but his O-line is not the best so I think we will see Wake explode in this game, the Packers should be worried about how a hit on their QB could affect him after coming off a concussion.

Special Teams: I’d be happy if the special teams unit makes no mistakes… Baby steps people, if they can manage to get the job done then our offense and defense can do the rest.

And finally my score prediction is Dolphins come out with a 21-17 win… What do you think???
