Wouldn't be the first time for the Dolphins.

I'd say the Bengals benefit more. The running game of the Dolphins is a mess...a 4-man split consisting of all mediocre at best RBs. The Dolphins should not be able to successfully run the ball, so it will mean up-and-down Tannehill will have to pass more in the rain. I'm sensing turnovers.

I hope its just rain and not the predicted thunderstorms. Last thing we need is a delay due to lightening

Holy shit... I've never seen that. They have absolutely zero room to cry about Vontaze now. STFU.
I'm gonna break every record they've got. I'm tellin' you right now. I don't know how I'm gonna do it, but it's goin' to get done.

I've never really bought a whole lot into the theory that rain helps one team or hurts another that much. The ball is just as slippery, the field just as soggy, the air just as damp for both teams.

The Dolphins have the 2nd highest number of rush attempts against them and are 31st in average rush yards allowed per game. Considering we are also getting back Burfict, I'd say rain is significantly more advantageous for us.

This, plus we started getting our run game going against the Broncos. Clearly we have the advantage in the rain.
Just need our backs to hold onto the ball.

Beat me to it, Wyche. Almost identical circumstances to last year as far as when he came back and how much time he had to get ready. He was supposed to be on a snap count last year and yet he made a huge difference, holding the sculpture bags to 10 points.

The Bengals can't catch even when it's dry. Last time they played in the rain, the Bengals had 8 drops.
Fair point. Heck, they had 10 more drops vs the Broncos. Definitely something to watch for tonight. Fwiw, Uzomah has only caught 7 of 17 targets. So I'll be keeping an eye on that as well.

True about the drops, this is a concern.

Not sure if it's been mentioned elsewhere, but the Dolphins will be without 2/5ths of their o-line tonight. Starting LT Brandon Albert and C Mike Pouncey are both expected to be OUT. As is Arian Foster and Jordan Cameron (both injury prone).
Laremy Tunsil will be bouncing out from his LG spot to play LT. So hopefully Geno and Peko etc can wreak havoc on what was already a weak interior.

Geno should have his first big game of the season. Not like he has played bad but he has not been that destroyer yet
we know he can be. This is mostly because he has been doubled most of the time but if that is the case, others need
to take advantage if he cannot beat the double team.
