Dolphins too close for comfort vs. Bills?

07:58 AM ET 09.10 | Tony Sparano may be a little too worried about the Bufflo Bills. On the No. 1 key to winning: "I think we need to be ahead of the curve in the turnover situation, and I think that if you can do that and you can minimize the minus plays, the negative plays when you're in somebody's else's place, I think you have a chance." Understand that it is not new for a coach to say he doesn't want turnovers. But it is interesting that Sparano not only thinks, but stresses that the Dolphins must win the turnover battle to "have a chance." That wouldn't be a big deal to me if the Dolphins were playing the New Orleans Saints or Indianapolis Colts. But they're playing the Buffalo Bills, for goodness sakes.

AFC East is not as strong as everybody first thought

This is funny...

Way to build confidence in the locker room, coach.

They are probably just trying to get the team fired up, so they don't overlook the bills, and end up potentially embarassing themselves. If they stay focused, and ensure they execute properly, they should beat the bills up pretty badly. But if they look past them, and get sloppy, any team can lose a game that way...

Agreed. The Bills scared a few teams early last season, and early on is the best time for an unexpected upset, so the Dolphins are smart not to take this game too lightly. But the temperature is above freezing and there's no snow on the ground, so they should win.

At least Frank Calliando (I know it's not spelled right) is funny.

You got it. What is he supposed to say? " We will kick their a##?" Only Rex would go that far.
Not a bad time to take the points and the bills though. It is nt like the dolphins have a great defense.
