    Exactly right. Back in the Shula years we all took it for granted because we were in the playoffs every year. I love the excitement once again.

    GOOD LUCK TO THE MIAMI DOLPHINS AND US FANS-- WE DESERVE IT!

    This has been the longest week of my life-I am so glad Sunday is here! I called my best friend the Jets fan on Christmas to wish him and his family Merry Ho ho and all that, and he answers the phone by saying "I don't want to talk to you!" We both cracked up after that-he is feeling the tension as much as I am this week. Coupled with the fact that he is a HUGE Penny fan and was really unhappy he was let go and subsequently signed with us, the tension is even greater for him.

    The great thing is, there are no expectations for the 'Phins to live up to-we were expected by all to absolutely suck this year. This season has been a success no matter the outcome of this game, and it's nice to have a little pride and swagger back in the fanbase. The great thing is, because of our last few years, we are not cocky, just proud of the team and proud to be fans. I'm digging it. I'll be at Wild Wings nice and early to secure my spot and spend the final day of this regular season with my new Dolphin friends that I made this year. Enjoy the game everyone-go Dolphins!

    Will this game ever come? I'm getting antsier by the minute.
     
  14. Keyshawn just talked about Favre and his "mysterious shoulder" injury.... basically said it was BS how it's so "convenient" that Brett's claiming a problem "now that things aren't going his way." It was a beautiful moment... :)

    This game has me so nervous. Not because of thinking the Jets are a great team and Miami can never beat them but that this one game determines everything and will either send me into a week long depression or week long elation.

    According to NFL.com the weather will be Overcast and 63 degrees which is great news. However 24MPH winds scare me as Chad could throw floaters, hopefully Henning doesn't get too cute and lets Ronnie and Ricky control the game.

    we have suffered 6 years and now we have the chance we've all impatiently waited for. The AFC East title is on the line and it's only one more win away.

    I hate the Jets with every ounce of my body, and this would be the single greatest moment in my life if we win. A chance to redeem ourselves for letting the Jets walk all over us the past 8 or 9 years. And a chance for Chad to get his own revenge on the hated Jets.

    so...a little over 3 hours away.

    GO DOLPHINS!!!!!

    Can we please all remember that Pennington used to play in this stadium. He does have a dam good idea of how to play in this place I would think. The winds and ice and snow and sleet - blah, blah, blah...........the guy was up there for 10 years(?), he knows what he's doing. If John Beck were starting, that's a different situation right there isn't it.

    Sorry for the tone. Not trying to poo, poo on anyones ideas here. :up:

    The weather is more Miami weather (60 degrees at game time???) than its NYJ for this time of year...another positive omen.

    We have the stars and planets lining up again, like they have for the last several weeks....love the positive omens and signs.

    We are due to take what we earned....no gifts here!!!!

    I was thinking that too. He's played several December games in the Meadowlands with that wind.

    Sorry for the Blah, blah, blah think. I'm not trying to poo, poo anyone ideas here. It's just that sometimes we as fans forget that there is football life outside Miami in terms of gained knowledge, player history etc.

    Like when we sign a journeyman, and everyone expects him to play great here - he was a journeyman for a reason right?

    By the way, since everyone else is so jazzed up for this game I think I feel the need to mention that I have been calmer this week than any other game this season. When doing the write up, I didn't have that normal fear of God I get for every opponent. I am not being arrogant and saying the Jets down' matter, but I have a very quiet confidence about this week. Now that I've said that, watch what happens - it'll all go pear shaped. :lol:

    Come on man I know you are right but I am so nervous right now that anything scares me...if a black cat walked on the field I would swear it was a sign. :lol:

    I've even started thinking that if the Jets and Pats win and the Ravens lose how both the Jets and Pats will make the playoffs. That is how crazy I am getting.

    Have a drink.

    It is what it is. What would you rather be doing - being bummed the last game means nothing, or everything? Can't be afraid of great moments, if you are they go to someone else. Live it, love it and embrace it. You''l get a calm that is hard to break away from.
     
  33. PERFECT post, C... this is a situation for which we have all been waiting for so long. I want to spank the Jets to cap off a season that not a single person ever, ever expected... and earn that AFC East Division title for which we WORKED HARD -- no handouts, no "freebies," and often having to beat not only the opposing team, but the refs, as well.

    Just my thoughts...

    GO PHINS!

    That was actually posted by my cousin - Confucious - he's my second cousin twice removed on my mother's side. Pushy bugger, always has to get a word in somehow.

    As for me I climbing the walls..........wait did that slip out. :shifty:


    Seriously though, I said in another thread - I have a weird calm about this game for some ungodly reason.

    Gotcha!

    I think thats why "Con" has become more of my official monacre - that and the fact it is a ***** to spell every time.

    What can I say, gotta make things difficult.

    Sking29's observations so far:

    Indy is beating Tennessee nicely even though its all backups.

    Tampa Bay is trying to not get in the playoffs.

    I seriously feel bad for Detroit because after last season I wish 0-16 on no one (well maybe the Pats, Jets, or Bills).

    The Bills-Pats game will probably have less than a combined 20 points.

    Also looks like Minny will make the playoffs.
     
  39. WOW - I agree with you about the Bills/Pats game -- it's going to be tough getting points on that scoreboard (which has probably blown away already, as had part of a nearby roof prior to gametime).

    I, too, feel just horrible for the Lions - their players and their fans. I really wish a win for them today, and I don't even remember who they're playing but don't care. Let 'em get ONE!

    Bucs not only went 0-14, they then proceeded to lose their next 12 the following season...thats 0-26.....Lions have a long way to go.
