The Dolphins have been pathetic on offense all season only averaging 14.6 points per game.  The Dolphins average 88.1 yards rushing and 4.0 yards per carry…and they always give up on the run too soon.  The Dolphins average 235.3 net yards passing per game and complete 59.6% of their passes.

The Dolphins are allowing 20.7 points per game, but alot of them have been set up by the Fins terrible offense!  The Dolphins allow 102.1 yards rushing per game, but only 3.3 yards per carry. The Fins hold teams to 174.4 net yards passing, but 60.1% completions.

The Dolphins completely stunk up Joe Robbie Stadium on Sunday.  The defense, which has been solid all season, even stunk against the Packers.  Joey Harrington completed 33 of 62 passes for 414 yards with 2 TDs and 3 INT.  RB Ronnie Brown ran the ball 15 times for 59 yards (3.9 ypc) and caught 5 passes for 63 yards.  WR Marty Booker had a good game catching 7 passes for 110 yards and a TD.  TE Randy McMichael caught 7 passes for 77 yards.  Rookie WR Derek Hagan caught 5 passes for 53 yards and a TD.  Wes Welker caught 6 passes for 38 yards.

The defense had their worst game of the season against the Packers.  The Packers ran the ball 29 times for 155 yards (5.3 ypc).  The Dolphins allowed the Packers to complete 19 of 35 passes for 191 net yards passing.  LB Channing Crowder came to play with 11 tackles.  DE/LB Jason Taylor also had a good game with 3 tackles and 2 sacks.

Coach Nick Saban is losing his team, and there’s a long way to go in the season.  This could get ugly.

The good news for these two teams is…..someone has to win this week.  The Packers (1-4) and Dolphins (1-5) have been two of the worst teams in the league this season.  It was expected that the Packers would struggle, but many had projected the Dolphins to be a Super Bowl dark horse.

The Dolphins have a stingy defense, but they can be passed on and I think that will be the Packers gameplan.  The Dolphins only allow 171.7 yards passing per game, but opponents are very efficient against them posting a QB rating of 94.3.  The offensive line has blocked much better than Brett Favre could have imagined in his wildest dreams, only allowing 7 sacks so far this season.  If they block that well against the Dolphins and keep Jason Taylor (5 sacks) away from Favre, he should have a good game throwing the ball.  WRs Donald Driver (26 rec, 343 yards) and Greg Jennings (20 rec, 364 yards) will cause major match-up problems for the Dolphins secondary.  RB Ahman Green should be back this week, which should also help Favre, because he likes to throw to him out of the backfield.

Look for the Dolphins to lean towards the pass more this week than the run.  The Packers defense is allowing 275.8 net yards passing per game!  Joey Harrington just needs to relax and hope that when he hits his receivers in the hands that they catch the ball.  Two of Harrington’s INT bounced right of WRs hands.  Chris Chambers could have the breakout game the Dolphins have been waiting for.  Chambers is only averaging 10.4 yards per catch, which is weak for him.  Look for Wes Welker (33 rec, 355 yards) and Randy McMichael (24 rec, 269 yards) to have good games too.  RB Ronnie Brown needs to balance the offense out and keep the clock running.  Brown has 405 yards rushing and 153 yards receiving so far this season.

I think the Dolphins are the better team, but that doesn’t mean they will win.  The Packers do have a huge edge at QB, so you never know. 

The Dolphins waived WR Cliff Russell and activated rookie WR Marcus Vick from the practice squad.  This could be the chance Vick has been waiting for to prove himself.
